Please fix stamina

[Zulu]

I find my self constantly feeling like a weak feeble stalker only able to swing you blade twice then your tired. Unrealistic and terribly annoying haven to sit for 30 seconds just to cut up some dame boards, or even jump. Huge turn of and frustration. Hopefully im not the only one feeling this way when i play. I understand the need to create a level of difficulty but it
tampers with my experience when not in combat as well. Just feels too slow and stupid Other wise been loving the game.

You are telling me that knife is weaker than Gun?
Truly remarkable, I am sure the dev gonna change so you can have a 1KM long knife attack.

No, I'm telling you its weaker than a 15 inch black rubber c*ck.
I'm not expecting it to be better than a gun. I'm expecting to at least be able to kill a dog with it that is too hard to hit with a gun, cause it's zooming all over the place like a cocaine fueled hamster in a rubber ball.
What I'm saying is: I want it to not be completely useless, just because I'm carrying the minimum resources I might need.
I'm feel like it has an even shorter reach than most first-person knife attacks I know.

Dog running lap around you and attacking your weak point is who dog behave in reality, but I have already kill a dog with the knife in all 4 games in the serie and all the knife have the same range.

The range of a knife AKA not that far.

Knife? What knife? You mean the box opener?
Skif could never use that as a weapon, it's far too heavy and he gets tired after just a couple swings.

That thing was too big to be called a knife. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron.
The AK bayonet on the other hand is light af

Oooh, i had some much "fun" with knife in final fight at rostok arena.
At first, i thought i was provided with ak with only 30 bullets, so i had to extend them by shooting at gas cans, stabbing the guy while he's on the floor, then backing off. And repeat.
Didn't managed to kill him.
Tried to skip that and just bumrushed him with knife. Still, the knife just left the scratches on his exo armor.
... it took me almost half an hour to realise that it was 30 AP bullets and i was also provided with 240 normal ones.

Never seen an attacking dog zig-zag around like they're dodging wrenches or something.

Skif would run out of stamina looking at Dragon Slayer.

If you let him decide the gun, you'll get the Rhino revolver that actually does some work.

Psst - Stalker over here. I've got a Thunderberry I'll sell you for 250k. Believe me, for you it's a game changer.

[gRim_Reaper II]

I have a thunderberry and it doesn't make you use less stamina, it just makes your stamina replenish quicker. On yellow it almost helps, but still 1 second pause between stabs after running out of stamina, on red it's almost 3 seconds. even worse for jumping.

Nobody forces u to carry 50medpacks and be on yellow constantly.
1TB+ 1Flytrap and u can catch flies with ur swinging knife technic if u will...
And in red weight? Why in Noonspheres name should u want to be in red? ;)

As far as I know Thunderberries only increase regen and not total stamina, right? Still a massive help, especially for running long distances...but would not help with the amount of knifeswings we can make.

Totally agree with you and I really wonder how anyone could think otherwise. I understand there's some real Stalker gamers who played the earlier games to the fullest. I'm actually a guy who always likes to have certain amount of realism and immersion in games where it's supposed to exist. And in Stalker 2 both of those things exist. Sometimes it seems a bit too much and gets frustrating. That knife swing is a good example of that. Personally I probably won't use mods unless it feels like absolutely necessary. Nothing against the mods, I just still feel to play the game as it's supposed to be. Although truth be told, this game is still very much incomplete. Many bugs and game also crashed for me about 4 times now. Tried different things and hopefully these things will be fixed soon in the future. At it's best and working, game like Stalker 2 is a dream come true for many and also me. Just gotta upgrade my GPU as soon as possible, because of the bad optimization.
