[Inflated_chair]

[Leidbac]

[LimaGolf]

not sure, Im less than 10 in and it seems pretty easy so far. Killed a few players. got killed by a player and a few AIs. definitely seems more like a team game.

Go Bandits for an easy start, Stalkers for hard.

The early game areas I find bland. Being swamps and such. It's an early game area for a reason.

Once you reach the bar that's where things get more interesting. The first time playing the game will mostly being learning where farming spots are and how to get things you need. Can be a bit of a learning curve.

After mid game the grind gets intense. It can take a week to farm enough mats for the late game things you need. If not longer. Early and mid game is much faster.

Bar can have PVP fights just for the fun of it. So something to engage with when you get burnt out farming. Once you tech up enough you can fight over outposts further north.

Some funny things can happen at the bar too. Sometimes I use the invincibility time to run out at the enemy if they have us pinned down and jump up and down. Then I might walk around in circles when they don't shoot me. Since I'm not a threat and have no items on me. Kind of funny. Sometimes I might even help a downed enemy back up if they seem friendly, but some players will kill you if you try.

Holding outposts and having allies hand over body armor, helping with saving my life when no one on my team died, also was great.

In other words stalcraft is one of those games where the little moments make it worth playing. This tends to happen more north then south. Remember, once you get to the bar it can get a bit grindy. If you get past that though then it gets more team focused. As long as you stick to your own side of the map (left for bandits. Right for stalkers) then you're mostly safe. Inbetween tends to have more PVP. I went with bandits because mercs get the cool ♥♥♥♥.

This game could be so much better if it was a bit more ez to understand . There isn’t really much help or basic instructions to learn the game

wdym? All the core stuff is explained through the tutorial and the main story missions. The only thing I can think of that they don't is like economy stuff, which you can mostly do fine without.

Honestly, that's a hard question to answer. It depends what you're looking for. Do you like stalker with PvPvE progression with a chance to drop loot? Go for it, you will find it fun the whole time. Are you looking for specifically PvP? Then you will have to get more than 200+ hours to reach end game, and you will finally be able to PvP, and even then, some people don't have all their gear until 1,000 hours. So really, it depends what you are looking for. If you are not a stalker fan and hate grind, this game def not for you.

Nah, you are right. The game does not tell you that you need 1,000+ hours to get all master gear. Also, game does not tell you that as soon as you equip a master gear, you are matched in servers with master+ level players. Noobs don't know this info, and some make mistakes and wear mix level gear, and then get destroyed trying to do open quests when they are matched in master+ level players lol.
