    They have cancelled their plans for NFTs and they will not now pursue this for Stalker 2.

    A friend recently asked me about this game and must admit I'm considering picking it up.

    It's free on Xbox gamepass😁

    It does support crossplay from what i read

    It finally went live on PSN this evening. £3.29 You all know what to do😁

    I was on a bit today, decided to upgrade the starter base a little bit. With @tronic44 and @Ajay we got a good start. If the place wasn't surrounded by concrete I'd probably be digging a moat😁. Once I get my strength up a bit and max the mining skills I'll be on the lookout for an Auger. Need to up Perception too so I can rank up advanced engineering. The iron mine is now also a nitrate mine as I stumbled upon a vein of it while digging a tunnel to the desert zone, where there's a newly started shale mine waiting to be connected. Had to go play D&D after that so not sure if anyone was on this evening but I'll be back on most of tomorrow 😉

    I tried out the new map yesterday, it's excellent. There's no official map online I can check so I'm going off some reddit posts to find out where the extractions are. The game doesn't tell you, you have to find out for yourself. Tarkov is like that. So, I'm playing against AI only while I learn it, and it's pretty big. Also, as there's been a wipe, I'm back to level 1, so my strength and stamina are pretty poor right now. Also I forgot two massive changes with this patch. 1. Inertia. The game was already the most hardcore shooter experience out there and now it is even better. I had my doubts but it seems adding inertia has removed any final traces of it feeling like a 'shooter'. Slow and deliberate is Tarkov. 2. VOIP. Glad they finally added this. I think it will change the experience, possibly less nerve racking now you're not fighting silent ghosts but people. Anyone abusing it get banned and everyone knows Battlestate games don't mess around on that score. They love a good ban.

    So far, with regards skills, I've concentrated on those that help with mining. So, Miner64, Motherload, Sexy Dinosaur are all up to level 3. To go further on those I have to level strength up to 5. I'm also levelling up some associated skills like advanced engineering, plus a few to help my survival a bit better. But yep, mining and engineering are what I'm focusing on.

    It's been a couple of years since we got a new map but Lighthouse has finally arrived and is dropping this afternoon. So glad I'm on holiday now as it means I'll have plenty of time for it🙂

    STALKER 2

    phil bottle replied to J4MES OX4D's topic in Shooters

    Some more info on Stalker 2. I cannot wait for this release and the most anticipated game of 2022 for me, along with Starfield.

    Well what can I say about last night. On a server that hosts a max of 10 players we had 11 ppl wanting to play at one point. The server and game ran really well apart from one or two who had a poor experience. Though I'm going to create a swear jar for every time @craftofboredom says the word 'lag' 😅 Great laugh last night and the game is better than ever. I'm starting off digging for resources and while I've recently made bases deep underground, this time I have the urge to build a fotress on a mountain 😁

    I wonder sometimes if their incompetence is staged. Everyone banging on this week about a Christmas party from last year and a pretty scary Nationality and Borders bill was passed in Parliament and no-one seemed to notice. I wonder who the real masters of our government are sometimes. Certainly ain't the people of this country.

    Regards the UEFA game, I'd just bin it. I don't know when they think we'll be able to play it, we still have to play our postponed Burnley game. Even winning this game we already have to add playoff games to our schedule. As has happened before we'll end up playing games every two days for a fortnight.

    I have done a little testing today on the server. After some initial niggles it seems to be working beautifully. With regards players maybe stick to 10 for now and see how it goes. I'd be interested to see how it performs with 10 concurrent players on a horde night😅 Thanks @tronic44 for setting it up with GTX. Where you find the time I don't know😁

    The new patch dropped just before 8pm and I managed a couple of hours on it. @crispymorgan joined my game for a bit too and slaughtered a bunch of undead. The city we're in is massive and has a fantastic variety of buildings, it looks really good. So much to explore! I've built a temporary base on top of a house but next time I'm on will look for somewhere more permanent to establish a home. Not found any bugs yet and if it continues to run well then we will look to set up a dedicated server for it.

    Yeah it's been in development for ages. You can access it before launch by buying the super duper version but yeah that's not happening. Still will keep an eye as its getting decent feedback and there's a Drewski video where he plays it with AI team mates that shows it off quite well.

    Good news is that they are updating it for PS5 in February and apparently it's free to PS4 owners. I have it on console and you'll need your wheel for it as its too hard with a controller, I've tried 😁

    They had a streamer event over the weekend and plan to release the update this afternoon, US time. Probably looking at 8pm in the UK if all goes to plan. It's being released via the beta tab under experimental and they're recommending using the cleaning tool in the launcher to wipe any old builds before creating a new world. The pre-made worlds, yes, that's plural, are all brand new too and they recommend trying them out before doing a random world generation. I'll put full patch notes up later. Trader missions look vastly improved. This truly does look like a great update and I can't wait to get on it! Alpha 21 will have a story mode 😍

    Note, as its a 7 minute long lap, there will be no qualifying. I'm suggesting race order is reverse of current league standings, as its the last race, but open to other suggestions.
  23. phil bottle
    Yeah, still early days but I'm happy he's got them looking like a team again. I'm very impressed with Conte so far and I hope Daniel backs him up in terms of the squad.
  24. phil bottle
    Indeed and I will be forever sorry not sorry😅 @Macca89 it has snipers @Mikepjbell and @techno are also recent PC converts who might want to try it out for the first time too!

    I was a little burned out with 7 Days waiting for Alpha 20. But then it drops completely out of the blue🙂 Suffice to say, a lot of time will be spent on this. Will test it out this week and we'll probably then organise a dedicated server. I'll start a game server up tomorrow that we can play on while we test the new patch. @RenFengge and @TurboR56Mini you really need to join us in 7 Days to Die, it is so much fun accidentally killing @Greboth with dynamite despite friendly fire being switched on😁 To think how long ago it was that I saw @tronic44playing this and joined in, so many hours of fun 🙂
