Also a Laharl voicepack

Did he? I just remember it blowing up and then the end.

Anyone know how to get grimy's loot mod to work with Long war 2?

do now spare collaborators they are an affront to humanity

He or she teleports away at the last second. Jake confirmed it

stop posting this image, i am actually uncomfortable from cringing this hard

Not gonna lie

I do wish there was a continuation from XCOM 1's ending.

>autism

Vortigaunt mod when

The aliens can't possibly mount an offensive without their psionic network and the top ethereals. It would be mostly a cleanup operation.

so xcom 2 but we are advent?

So whats going on

No, it'd be more like we were committing genocide. The aliens rely on a mostly mindless clone army. Which is great when you're in control, no risk of insubordination or defection, etc. However that also means without the top leadership their forces are practically helpless.

Were mutons clones in ew i thought they weren't?

They almost certainly were unless they were genetically engineered while they were embryos. The autopsy reports that they are practically 100% muscle with no real fat. That can't possibly exist in nature. But they seem to retain some of their base societal instincts, given their proclivity for tribal tattoos and war cries.

i need to go back and play ew this stuff is interesting

Anyone replaying EW lately?

After all the long war I've played vanilla EW is boring

Only in the phone version.

I'm enjoying LW2.

Once you get past the learning curve it's pretty enjoyable. The main problem it has it lack of options in early game.

The previous Thread went down? What happened? I do get connection problems with vg/ quite a lot these past few days. Anyone else has the same problem?

people didn't bump it and it died

Pistols are Useful.

>go to sleep
>thread dead by morning
Maybe we've lost our Europe posters

Anons. ANons.

We need to keep this thread alive.

And we need to do so before March 10.

Stick together, people.

im not going anywhere worry not

Dude

Advent are aliens

Not going anywhere dude.

Anyone else having problems when posting pics?

only some times but not in this general

guys please

I've never seen the advent burger ad

is this in the vanilla game?

i think so but i can not confirm are you using any map mods?

Testing.

is xcom 2 expansion coming or did lw2 replace it entirely

I am using several, which is why I asked.

I don't know where this "LW2 is the expansion" meme came from but I hate it.

>lw2
u wot m8
We will probably know more March 10th (PAX East)

right dont know why that fly over me

Pic makes me want to do a haloCOM campaign.

How should i dress my troops?

Marines?
ODST?
Spartans?

that could work i have some issues with the marine armor having poor textures in places but that just me

Dear /xcg/.

I tried to follow imgur.com/a/5NRRW instructions to make custom classes after playing with animations, but when I try to run "Debugging" option, after showing launcher and clicking "play", it drops me this error instead.

What does it mean?

i have no experience with modding sorry

;_;

So much for my small dream ;_;

IIRC it was a run as administrator issue for me, running the SDK under that should fix it.

(it may require setting Steam to run as admin as well, though I've kinda gotten lazy over the past few months and just used the normal game to test my mods)

Don't you fucking give up.

Y-you would like to actually see this?

not them but class mods are fun you should finish what you started

Hell yes.

Already got an affinity for Valkyria Chronicles, so getting to take a look & have a go on someones XCOM vision of it, is rather tingling.

I have very little free time but Im doing what I can.

But for now Im stuck with trying to find out, where game stores skills descriptions, so I can make new ones based on existing ones.

Even if I dont have ideas for new ones yet, except for obligatory resist crossfire and underbarrel grenade launcher/flamethrowers.

XComGame.int, you should see stuff like "[Suppression X2AbilityTemplate]" that should show you how to set up an ability description.

Okay, it indeed fixed issue.

Game run, froze when trying to generate map for testing purposes but at least when trying to modify squad, I could setup my class.

For some reason tho, when I tried to select it in character pool, it showed empty space instead.

Yeah, thats for description, but I was thinking about where the abilities are defined in first place.

You know, for example how in classdata.ini, you have defined tree with, for example "AbilityName="RapidFire" - but somewhere the ability must be defined first - what animations it use, what exactly it does and so on.

Presuming you didn't delete the example XComGame code modbuddy adds in by default, look for classes named something like X2Ability_RangerAbilitySet

Okay, found them in steamapps\common\XCOM 2\Development\Src\XComGame\Classes

Its actual programming. But since people do upload their custom abilities, it should be doable. I have no idea what language is this, however.

This will take a while...

...

I still remember when they posted this on their twitter and it cropped it down to show the sectoid's ass in a very prominent way

ya really?

>Marines?
>ODST?
>Spartans?

Why pick only one? Tier 1 is Marines, tier 2 is ODST and tier 3 is Spartans.

Probably playing For Honor... Or at least trying. That disconnect rate is terrible.

absolutely pathetic.

why not just let a general sleep and bring it back when it's needed?

this shit is unnatural and I hope your grandchildren deny you the peace of death when your bodies are cancerous and suffering.

I'm kinda surprised this isn't copy-pasta

oh yeah because we have such quality competitors such as SC2 general

>Newfoundland for the first time
I was not ready fuck me.

hope you brought shotguns

All laser rifles.

It's simple, bring gernades or a MEC, someone with sprinter, and someone with a rocket launcher. At least one squadsight sniper recommended but not necessary.

Destroy every hanging shark on your way.

The rocket will make short work of the chryssalid pod activated halfway.

Position everone on overwatch on the top port just before entering the ship.

Make the sprinter dash on the top part of the ship and run to the controls, then make him go behind the console so chryssalids that jump up won't get them.

Next turn mad dash everyone to the pickup point.

Like all special missions, it's when you go in blind that it fucks you up.

what means this?

should be alright

Yeah I went in blind.
The second time through I was able to get it ez pz

So guys, first time playing any xcom game, got enemy unknow for free thanks to one of you, i only have to say, that was quite a fun ride but i was dissapointed at the lack of main missions, and that silly ending.

My only survivor of the tutorial ended up being the only rookie with mental powers and he also was the last one to die on the ending to save the world, what the fuck?

was he a hero?

Also thanks for the spoilers for newfoundland, is that from EW?

Yeah it is and how you've managed to not find out about Newfoundland for 4 years should be commended.
And it really isn't a spoiler. Its like saying "Hey you're gonna get an escort mission sometime during your play through." Its just another special council mission.

i just started playing Xcom last month, also isn't there another game that looks a bit like the original X-CO but a bit modern in looks? how is it?

Storytime? Does this mean no expansion?

Xenonauts. Its pretty okay from what I hear. I haven't gotten a chance to play through it yet though.

xenonauts. Not nearly as good as the original though. It's mechanically solid, but it is very un-polished sound and visually, and just feels really dull and lifeless.
You are much better off just playing the original x-com (with openxcom).

We've known it's called "story time" for a bit, people are just not sure what that means, or if that leaves out the possibility for other announcements or not.
In the end, I guess it could literally just be storytime (I hope not).

Live reading of the entire XCOM tie-in novel confirmed.

I hope they do special voices for the characters.

We don't know what "storytime" means. Most of us are assuming it's going to be the story of the expansion though.

Hopefully he means a hint of WHERE IS VAHLEN.

its alright gets VERY dull so take that as you will many here will say if you want to play an og xcom game you should just play the first game modded
now im worried

Storytime? Like the Vahlen x Commander fanfic, Grey style?

Did everybody forget that enemy within was teased at a behind the scenes with Firaxis panel at PAX East 2013?

Heck, it wasn't even a proper reveal either: the actual title of EW wouldn't known until around Gamescom, when they posted a modified teaser with the title at the end.

>At least one squadsight sniper recommended
snipers are the worst class for that mission in LW and I'm pretty sure in EW too

the lines of sight are shit and kiting is unreliable, plus unnecessary if you bring enough firepower to wipe a pod to start with

Basically what I did was, after I activated the airstrike, was wipe out the two pods that spawn when you're moving the guy that triggered the strike and then haul ass to the extraction point.
Unmodded, vanilla, normal difficulty.

Snipers are the only ones that overwatch hit reliably for me. All other classes tend to miss when it counts.

It was just a suggestion though since that's what worked for me.

No need to worry, the volunteer is confirmed to have escaped at the last second.

He's alive somewhere.

You giving up already? I thought gamers where all about challenges? Its hard because you just started, but over time it becomes easier. You wouldn't want some random nobody in the internet call you a lazy faggot now would you?

I managed to find out how to deal with this error, then went on to try to analyze, how devs coded existing skills to make new ones but this will take a while, since Im terrible programmer.

...

The Exalt laser weapons looked so much better.
