/xcg/ - XCOM General

Last thread wasn't so bad, we've hit image limit at 500 posts more than a few times. Last thread it was like 730/250 which is balanced as hell all things considered

Gets it

>leave for a week
>come back and see best waifu as OP image
never change, /xcg/.

did I miss any new maymays?

Swords are useless tho

...

This is 100% true. They still look baller though.

Well, the "rulers are too hard" one seems pretty popular right now.

Seriously though, you haven't missed much. Glad to have you back user.

You forgot the daily "IS ANYONE ELSE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DLC?!?!"

>sharpshooter moves and has 5 targets in pistol range
>all shots are 90%+ thanks to aimbot sim
>lightning hands
>face off
>20 damage in a single turn

>Gunslinger tree with new pistol
Holy shit this is radical

>My Steam Collection is in the OP
Feels good.

Vahlen pleasures aliens for science!

>pleasures aliens
Only if they are masochists.

>implying it's not the opposite
Vahlen is the big girl here, her masterplan is coming along nicely

>masterplan
Was crashing the Skyranger part of your plan?

Of course !

indeed she does.

If I pull that mask off will you die?

I think instead of trying to go for image limit at 750 we should aim for image limit at 250

You're a big sky!

Rulers for every Ayy when? Can you imagine what a Gatekeeper Mastermind would be like?

I imagine it would be a large sphere

>a large sphere of whatever gatekeepers are made of?

>Gatekeeper Mastermind
I read that as Gatekeeper Muhammad. I was imagined a gatekeeper with a turban that bodyslams your troops and creates psionic explosions centered on itself.

They're probably made of some space thing.

A hypercube

>Pectoid Lord
More magic, shoots lasers and controls your cock with his mind
>Advent Colonel
Throws grenades on every ruler turn, has run and gun and hair triggers
>Crusher Mec
Spams artillery, hacks your gremlins to kill you
>Sectopod Titan
Takes 3 actions on every ruler reaction so he can shoot his super laser on every reaction
>Andromedon Juggernaut
Fire instead of acid, all your troops panic
>Citadelkeeper
mind controls bradford so he doesn't shut up for the whole mission
>Muton Warchief
Has 20 armor
>Faceless assassin
Is concealed and you can't see him until he attacks you, has an ability that kidnaps one of your troops and it takes it's place, you control it and then it shoots you in the dick during his SURPRISE RULER REACTION
>Chrysalid queen
Shoots chrysalid eggs at you that spawn on the avenger and eat shen's face

JL pls go and stay go

>ADVENT colonel
is she also Patsy's sister?

Considering Firaxis' track record it'll be a he and so would a Codex ruler.

She's Patsy's mother

It's too late, they have all been added to the Toolbox and the toolbox is required to launch Shen's gift dlc which adds mecs and gene soldiers!

fug

sounds like a solid plan fampai

fucking Jake, he just couldn't resist denying us a possible top-tier snek waifu

the lore deepens

>run into sectopod
>can't kill it on my turn
>fuck it, let's try something risky
>send my gunner to suppress it
>laugh as it misses every single shot

I never thought this would work. Lmao.

>space oddity in OP
neato!

Suppression is fun!

Don't worry, maybe he'll ruin other waifus too.

>turning the science waifu into an edgelord

so, I'm playing Xcom Enemy Within again. When does the EXALT base invasion trigger? When I get too close to discovering their HQ? Or when I move along with the plot?

see, this is why the ADVENT sisters are the top waifus. Jake is too pleb to know about them, and therefore cannot ruin them.

The only issue would be if Beagle told him about them, which he had better not do.

Considering how everyone seems to ignore Codex even in fanart I imagine they're probably safer.

ALSO NTH FOR PURE AND INNOCENT CODEX

You invade the Exalt base when you find the country its in, Exalt don't invade your base, the ayys do and they do it some time after the alien base assault.

NO

Whens a good time to trigger the leaders?

Also theres something wrong with my current playthrough, i havent seen any advent mecs at all and im already getting archons

plasma war suit

11:00 AM EST, 12:30 is pushing it. Don't bother if you haven't started the Op before 2:00 PM

>You invade the Exalt base when you find the country its in, Exalt don't invade your base, the ayys do and they do it some time after the alien base assault.

Ah, right. It's been a while.

Thanks! Stay frosty for Ayys.

>Edgelord
Did you pay attention to the shit she did in EU/EW? After every interrogation you would get a corpse. She literally tortured aliens to death for information.

WHO PAID YOU TO GRAB DOCTOR VAHLEN?!

A LOT OF LOYALTY FOR A SUBJUGATED SPECIES.

I did the mission right away.

Perhaps he is wondering why you would mind control an Andromedon before killing it?

At least you can talk! Who are you?

No one cared who I was before I put on the suit.

If I pulled that off would you die?

it would be extremely painful

>Using the edit
Original is far superior, and relevant in more situations.

Anyone experience somthing like this? Could it be every mec pop is getting replaced by the leader pods

is it normal for XCOM to use this much memory?

my game is modded but this only just started today

Mine usually takes up 3 gigs, so yes that is more than I would expect. That being said, XCOM is unoptimized as fuck.

I've been doing modded playthroughs since release. Why would this happen now?

Can mods cause a memory leak?

Yeah, especially if you use voice packs.

Im guessing it loads all the voicepacks to memory, rip

you're a big extraterrestrial.

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=690155065

Is this cheating?

Yes, but the fact that you care about what anonymous posters of Veeky Forums think about you is a bigger problem.

pour vous

Gets it

It would be extremely toxic

You're a big ayy

Is XC2 more performance friendly yet? Can't take 40 fps at best on low when I was about to run the first maxed at 60 though that's not saying much considering the first was made with console in mind.

>protect the device mission
>andromedon spawns next to it
>shoots it once
>device starts burning
>fight my way though, clear all ayyys
>device doesn't even take another single shot
>flames destroy it anyway

fuck this game.

Not a fucking chance. That would only happen if Jake fixed his game, something that we all know is impossible.

Agreed, the device should be immune to burning.

Serves you right for not bringing a fire extinguisher.

that...that can happen desu?

Stargate mod when?

When you make it.

>page 10

Well she has to manually masterbate them for samples while they are living...and then kill them and cut it out of them...

Literally, unironically, never ever.

I never watched Stargate, or i watched a couple of episodes so all i can remember is that there's a gate you use to go to other planets and there's a big nigga with an egyptian thing on his forehead.

How would a stargate mod even work?

nope it cant
user is butthurt he naded the objective, the stupid idiot

Lets see if this squaddie has what it takes

>protect device

Time to get fucked

And then everything went better than expected

>"I'm going to die here aren't i?"

>xcom sends their worst soldier with the worst equipment possible to assassinate some dude who has elite genetically modified super soldiers as bodyguards

I need the picture of the Speaker with the World Meme database panning through his eyepiece.

He lived, only because of lightning reflexes on the scout class.

Uh oh

Freeze XCOM We have you surrounded!
