working on a cleaner version, but this is some spoiler heavy shit in the DLC 3 files

2nd for KAMIKAZE MECS

pistols are useful
Thomas Lopez
Looks the part, you're doing gods work! Will you keep editing that link? That'd be great so we can see your progress, keep digging,
Wyatt Butler
I can make more screenshots if you want
Ethan Phillips
Jesus first time seeing this. So Julian, Spark and Lily Shen are characters In combat obviously. Lily can die. Mechs are back it seems and Julian might be the antagonist. Also feral mecs? The fuck. This has just raised more questions.
Brody Wright
>shen almost dead Old Shen or new Shen? This is exciting as all hell >hack bridge >spark is killed Spark is a character? I thought it was a resource >julian lives JULIAN IS A CHARACTER? >taunts >unlimited_reinf

10th for Bradford changed
Dominic Ortiz
I don't know if anyone remembers the solo madman from a month or two ago, but I'm getting close to finishing an ironman solo soldier run. Is there any interest in victory screens when they hit?
David Richardson
it's not clean, but here's every file in it
so a couple neat things >old shen has a box image >"markov" has a sectopod and box image named after him >the skyranger has a box image >julian has a sectopod head, something about awakening, and "has honor" >the skybridge is named, no clue what that is but there are several activated facility mentions and a bridge, so it's likely this new mission will feature something way up >kamikaze MEC >SPARK is some sort of unique character and can die, as well as Lily
Jaxson Sanders
>Here's an OP I can get behind. If you haven't been behind every OP for the past few weeks you're one of those fuckers
Oliver Sullivan
>Skybridge Didn't the Autobots have that?
Sebastian Ward
Also did you notice all the diffrerent phases? Phase 1, 2, 3, all the way up to 9. Almost sounds like a super robot boss battle
Yeah share that when you finish. What difficulty was it again?
Connor Ross
I can think that it's dumb that AH wasn't been put in the two other OPs we had since its release, but doesn't mean I'm going to cry about it like we've had people doing. This one updated stuff and that's good.
Alexander White
>more gimmick boss shit
pls no
Robert Nguyen
>finish a LW bomb defusal with all nodes down and one turn remaining wew that was intense, fuck the rail yard map
Josiah Smith
That's weird, the way people talked about this, I though there wasn't an easy way to disable it.
Also finally cleared legendary ironman blacksite. I really should stop putting it off, they just keep nerfing xcom and making the AI slightly better.
Gabriel Adams
Fuck this tbqh
Ian Long
Madman here, it was on Normal. Next up is a solo run of EW, which I could probably get away with Impossible on, with some... modified tactics. With advanced marrow meaning that you'll rarely spend more than a day in the infirmary, and with bioelectric skin for the seekers, many situations that would generally be lethal work out just fine. MECs lack the tanking and self healing powers of bio soldiers, so I'm sticking with bio. Also, you have to get psi, so bio's the only way to go, really.
Jackson Sanders
nth for pure, innocent proof that god is dead and we killed him.
Carson Rodriguez
"IT IS I, CATO SICARIUS..." I need to stop watching "if the emperor had a TTS device" ffs

Levi Edwards

James Cruz
I didn't ask for this. I regret ever wishing for more art.
Gavin Cooper
tfw I read it in the exact voice without the slightest hestiation
Nicholas Jackson
Anyone else experiencing mechs not generally appearing at all? Pic related was from scripted blacksite.
Adam Phillips
I need to make an ultramarine faggot and prevent him to die, allowing him to pull batshit insane moves "I WILL BE CHAPTER MASTER ONE DAY" bruva alfabusa is doing great things with this thing
Chase Phillips
Does toolbox still work with uniform manager?
I know they have the same class override issue, but I'm wondering if I can enable and play regardless.
I don't even know what the fuck toolbox does that would override uniform manager to begin with. None of the mods that do the same thing as it had any compatibility issues, it's retarded. Like the long war guys went out of their way to be incompatible with everything.

>SPARK is ours >SPARK repairs I assume the first mission will be retriving SPARK >Julian awakens >Julian awakens 2 >3 >4 >5 In before Julian is some sort of AI infecting the advent sectopods/mecs and making them going berseker?
Julian seems to be a mechanical counterpart to the Viper King VeeKay takes control of vipers while this Julian Assange character is a terrorist and wikileaks is evil do not look at it, citizen, The President Protects
Juan Young
I have, seems pretty decent so far
Jacob Ortiz
is it pretty stable?
Ethan Mitchell
no
Adam Bennett
Feral MEC is probably just "Feral" in the sense of being, oh christ, self-aware AI.
Oh jesus, the expansion enemy won't be eggsalt 2.0 but a separatist AI faction.
Christian Phillips
>feral >as in, savage and brutal melee/CLOSE RANGE combat >sparks >as in electrical attacks/support abilities I do like the idea A man can dream
Carson Richardson
Heard on leddit that other people were experiencing that, and I am too. No mec whatsoever so far.
This is clearly not the case ajnd odds are it's just a faux pas by firaxis but it would be insane if there was some kind of meta-story Firaxis is implementing with all of a sudden MECs being rare because Julian is some Shodan AI going haywire
And I'm surprised we haven't gotten evil AI yet in Xcom considering it's a staple of sci-fi. And offers a perfect alternative avenue to augment our fight against psionic ayys.
Brayden Rodriguez
I wish Alien Power Sources didn't explode so often, I'm sick of EMPing an UFO at any altitude and getting no power sources
Owen Mitchell
SPARK will be a robot that XCOM rescues and slowly learns human emotions through Lily and is revealed to be Shen's Last Gift with a portion of his mind in it
Julian will be an enemy MEC given life but is evil because ADVENT got him, the exact opposite of SPARK and will work to rally the other MECs in the game to rebel
SPARK and Julian will fight and there will be some underlying theme about robots being able to feel
It would be incredibly dumb and cheesy but I believe it
Bentley Butler
>Go back to Old XCom HQ >Old Shen had, in desperation tried to put XCom soldiers into Mecs, but they have gone feral and crazy >You need to clear out the HQ and the feral Mecs led by the leader Julian Mec,and an intelligent Sectopod which still has the old design >Lily Shen comes with you and when you get to the end and find Mec blueprints starts crying and shit and vows to complete her dads work If only this is what happens.
Jaxson Gonzalez
With if Julian is just a Zhang style guaranteed guy and SPARK is just the name for the new class?
Named Sectopods are my favourite thing in Long War

Isn't that just your soldier's name?

>Shen's Last Gift
>In XCOM's twilight hours, Shen Sr. had made huge strides towards MECs and advanced AI. >In an experiment to fuse the two, Shen secretly began work on an AI MEC unit, affectionately called "Sparks." >Designed for contruction and engineering assistance, but could be modded for other uses >Sparks was being prototyped by Shen when the Aliens struck >In the chaos of the attack, Sparks awoke >Determined to defend its creator, escorted Shen out, improvising a flamethrower and a SHIV minigun >Shen and co flee, but Sparks creates a diversion so as to let them escape >Sparks' fate is unknown, but presumed destroyed
>203X >Shen continued work on his old AI project in conjunction with the Avenger, determined to recreate the success of Spark >Creates the first "Sentient" AI, referred to as Julian >The plan was to use Julian to infiltrate ADVENT's robotics, and deal a major blow to their firepower >Julian's far more advanced mind, however, was not content to serve a meatbag conquered by an outside force >While Shen was briefing a number of Resistance members on the plan, Julian had secretly transmitting a signal to ADVENT with their coordinates >Dropships roll in with the big guns, MECs created from Shen's old concepts >Julian immediately goes to work, possessing the MECs and turning them rogue >No, feral is a better word >The MECs mop up the few ADVENT infantry before turning guns on the resistance >Shen and co desperately attempt to flee, >From seemingly nowhere, a rusty MEC-sized robot leaps into the fray, spraying with a jerry-rigged ballistic minigun >Sparks had been attempting to find its creator for decades while hiding from ADVENT and keeping itself surprisingly well maintained >It had happened to be in the area when it picked up on Julian's signal >Creating yet another diversion to save Shen, it buys time for them to flee >Julian uploads himself to an unknown location >Sparks flees, heavily damaged, to an old workshop, where it now rests
We'll see.
Cameron Butler
The bit on screen is the soldier name, I'm referring to the insane amount of HP the Sectopod has because its the Reaper sectopod
And it took out the 2 power sources I desperately need when it died too
Ryder Hughes
Thanks Blizzard for the lore You even got Bastion's pic to not-hide your copypasta
Brandon Young
I never knew ayys could use one for all mecs as cover.
Thomas Ramirez
This based motherfucker is downright OP. Not created equal + HMG without even a scope on it = GG no RE.
Am on legendary but switch to commander periodically because the legendary kill-requirements to rank up are obscene. My last legendary game I think you needed 180 kills to reach colonel.
Also looked boss with a cigarette and shades up before I got to T2 and we wuz space marines.
I'll prob avoid doing that switch-down to level up now that I have people in the decent ranks. Just didn't want to wait until the endgame when things are already too easy to be able to enjoy abilities beyond shoot and stand still.
There a mod to lower the kill requirement for ranking up on legendary?
Jack Lopez
What mod is that armor from?
Michael Russell
Helmet is Halo reach, body armor is Xcom 1 armor ported.
You need another mod that enables all the armor options from the outset, rather than some of them being gated behind tech advances in the game.
I don't remember what mod that was though
Colton Phillips
Thanks, based user
John Hughes
Also what said as T2 vanilla armor shown in my pic is locked to Predator armor (T2 plate) then same deal for T3 Vanilla Xcom1 armor to T3 Vanilla Xcom2 tier.
William Turner
There's a mod that unlocks the EW ports?
Ryder Flores
See
Colton Morgan
Oh, I meant unlocked it for a decal as T3/T1 armor.
Gabriel Phillips
Why aren't you conquering the world as ayys?
Christian Hughes
because I'm not a filthy snek-hugger, that's why

Xcore Galactic Plague I fucked up
Adam Myers
Anyone had the issue where upon completion of a mission, the camera is outside/underneath the ship?
When your soldiers walk forwards and you get their level up etc. I have to save the game and reload it every time to be in the ship.
I'm pretty sure it started when I installed the free camera rotation mod but I'm not certain, but it persists with the mod removed and on new games. There are other little camera issues that occur too but only that consistently. Its made the game unplayable for me.
Tyler Russell
Wait but PC Hissy is with xcom

Was I supposed to do it later?
Bentley Robinson
I had 6 soldias with magnetic weapons when I did it.. Even then I almost got buttfucked
Either that or I'm a baddie
James James
I did something like this. No pictures sadly, but I got the FEAR replica voicepack and named my troops with a batch letter and production number. each one going to 10. so A01 A02 so on and so forth.
Everyone had the same features, and the same armor, and the same voice. Was pretty neat imagining Xcom turning to radical cloning to produce soldiers to fight against Advent. Then coming to the realization the Advent were doing the same. I can imagine the "What have I become, my sweetest friend." moment with Bradford drowning himself in whiskey at realizing how far they've fallen.
Alexander Baker
>Angry Static Intensifies
I wish Exalt still existed. I loved the concept. I like pretty much everything about Xcom2, except the core concept of being a resistance. Shit, I wish it was just a straight up reskin just with the new features. I miss my underground base, and my mechs, and my meld, and gene modding, and Exalt. I also miss the more story centric mission DLC like slingshot.
Alexander Brown
I miss the mysterious feeling XCOM EW had. It really felt like you were a secret task forced chosen to save the world.
Josiah Bennett
What's the word on Alien Hunters? Are the new leaders as bad as everyone's making them out to be?
