XCOM General - /xcg/

Regarding the user who asked who you should give DLC alien armors to. Normally i say that for the RAGE & Serpent armors are for front liner's where it has a chance to panic both Mutons & Vipers which are pretty common late game. For all three suits i'd suggest looking into the customizer mods to fit what you think is right but not too cheaty.

There's some mods as well to add on some more customizability if you don't like the monser-hunter styling of them (which i love)

The freezing lash ability on it's base though a free action isn't too great but the closer the better in my experience so shinobi's, infantry, rangers & the like seem to play well with it in my experience . Rage strike works great in my games so far as a free action to cover a shitload of ground & get some melee damage in while carrying a heavy weapon as well. You'll probably want this on a ranger, maybe a technical if technical's get you off.

Incarus armor is probably the best out of the box. I've usually been torn between giving it to a sniper, high aim gunner or grenadier who can then re position in the span of a turn. Though it's pretty hilarious to one man-shinobi & jump jet right to the evac point.

Happening right at the end of the stream then.

Is it just me or do the special Alien Hunter suits look kinda dumb?

37% for anyone thats not Beagle if his track record is anything to go by.

I love MECs.
Also this is the thread we using the other one can be delete.

The Berserker muscle suit is the only good looking one. Because it just looks like you skinned it and are wearing its skin instead of the Viper for example where you took bits of it and made some really ugly flashy bullshit out of it.

I don't like the head pieces.

I'm willing to share my MEC nicknames

"Goliath"
"Judge"
"Terminator"
"Raven"
"The Rod"
"McTitan"
"The Dragoon"
"Phobos"
"Tarkus" (too much souls/WH40K)
"Tallgeese" (Gundam fag alert)
"Iron Bastard"
"Leviathan"
"Phoneix"
"Nano Badass"
"Yureno"

>I love MECs
I can get behind that statement

Pet cam was activated for a brief time. I can't tell if that was an improvement or not.

You can't delete threads

forgot. Field medic is great in my experience for a field medic or medic specialist since the jump doesn't even trigger overwatch if i remember right. Just fly right up to a critically wounded.

>Still goofy looking armors
You can change the patterning as well which seems to help most of the time. Still i'd love to see some mods that don't restrict armor parts for these armors.

is beags on his first mission or did a miss a huge chunk of the stream?

>making your only rocketeer into an overwatch rocketeer

w h y

Fall off the edge of the world.

First mission

'sup m/

Pretty funny he did that right after he mentioned how when he overthinks he makes bad decisions

What? You can't delete them. Veeky Forums doesn't let you.

Memes for Memester.

yeah how dare he use the best build

R.A.G.E suit/armor: It's pretty badass looking honestly. Torn right out of the berserker & plugged right into your trooper a real shame you can't get more of these. With those RAGE helmets they're just glorious.

Serpent Armor: I want to like the helmet but it's just somewhat off. I could see the armor looking cool but it does step away from the design of the game with it's multi-pauldrens. Only looks alright after tweaking it heavily & making sure you can't see the soldiers face. Which then it starts to finally look a bit better.

Icarus Armor: With it's helmet its entirely just silly to look at. But almost fitting with how over the top archons are. Luckily you can sub that derpy helmet off & still make a decent looking jump trooper. The fact that it has different animations as well really makes up for it's misgivings. The little wings are almost kind of cute.

MEC's are great indeed

Though i imagine day to day life as a MEC can be pretty difficult. Especially just being too big sometimes.

Do your troops stay noided, /xcg/?

What's wrong with Robotech?

That almost looks like something out of Destiny.

>>Attacking non-activated patrols.

This is not Magnificent.

What if, you made a Viper wear the King Viper suit?

F

rip gamage

RIP GAMAGE
PRESS F TO PAY RESPECTS

F for the Girl.

>Not a single person in the squad gave a shit about Gamage dying
Fucking stone cold.

Because medic.

That's Rel Pros for you.

>you can't have sex with that, you can't do it

snekfags btfo

As /m/ will tell you, it's a mashup of three separate anime series (Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada). While that wouldn't be absolutely terrible in and of itself, the guys who did the mashup, Harmony Gold, have prevented Macross from being released in the west due to copyright fuckery, so a lot of people hate them.

>why pay more?
i-is beags autistic? or is this just a joke?

Time for terror!

BeagleMath.

Also, Terror. Mission. Time.

>b-back that lyd ass up

Is 'lid time.

That failed ccs

the conniption combat specialist

I'm more worried about all those misses.

Even the wizard doesn't know

This sniper is hilarious. Makes Iku look good

Even AlexD looks good now.

>Beagle failing all of his own panic checks

>get on Twitch for the first time in months
>Beagle is streaming
>has a facecam
what the fuck

>bagel's barely using flashbangs
>all of these missed shots due to him not thinking clearly
This is driving me fucking insane.
He's been doing it since returning. I don't know if many of us even like it.

If I run an infantry biotank, would taking tactical sense make aliens still shoot at him if he's suppressing? Probably still not a good considering I'd like to make him a magnet at all times

They'll still shoot most likely, but yeah, stacking defense on tanks is a bad idea on general.

That Terror Mission was seripsuly taxing to watch.

>gotta get 'em braindawgs
Now that's a reference I haven't heard in a very long time.

>somebody in the base is fucking sectoids
probably subbing them in for bagel since they look so much alike

I know what I'll be rewatching for the next hour

>>Beagle: "I'm sure the UFOs will not come within 12 hours"
>>UFO appears... Then it lands.

Beagleluck works in mysterious wayys.

>been playing priatez, got to the stage where I have the ugly pink power armor and regular fights against star gods
>learn that the codex choice I made in the early game locks you out of certain stuff

well that's lame, anyone know the full lists of research options that are affected by the choice

...

it gave food for this though

So is this landed Scout a trap?

>beagle didn't realize that Rooster destroyed the meld

>that fucking story
holy fucking shit

Have some newfound respect for Jamball hearing what its like to live with Beagle

...

The more and more I hear about the two of them the more I believe Beagle is just one big baby at heart. Living with him must be a unbearable experience. Although there being no good XCOM streams is still true to today.

is enemy within for android any good?

I heard it works and is the same besides the user interface. Drains battery like hell though.

Just come over my place and play some Long War on my PC and I'll make sandwhiches.

stream done

Stream is Over.

And so is my life

Is nice if you have a good phone to run it. I use as a past time as EW is so much simpler than LW it actually does it for me as a mobile game. It does drain the battery so be careful.

Fresh

I feel like you can't just edit one.

The heuristic I use to understand how CCS works is there's four states.
a) Enemy starts outside CCS range and stays outside it
Doesn't work, no surprise there.
b) Enemy starts completely outside CCS range and enters it
Works
c) Enemy starts inside CCS range and makes a move that would exit it
Works
d) Enemy starts inside CCS range and moves without exiting it the entire time
Fails

I remember having an issue where I tried to ping pong a berserker around an assault and due to it needing to path around environment it never left the CCS circle. The assault didn't shoot once despite me bouncing it 3 times around it.
The zombie it failed on was the closest one while it worked on the other two so it feels like that's what happened there as well.
It's been a while since I've seen the video of that outsider killing the assault but didn't it start inside CCS range and just run in for a point blank flank? That would also make it a case of d).
CCS stopped failing for me once I started using it this way but I might just be lucky too.

I 100% agree. Final version

from the thumbnail the part in the top left looks like meld

Perfect. What was the fan-art link again? I'll mark it under /xcg/ since it was a group effort.

what was the story?

There was multiple ones, but the main theme was Beagle has horrible night terrors in his sleep both XCOM related and not XCOM related. The story has spawned from was him strangling Jamball in his sleep because he was dreaming she had turned into a zombie.

makes me wonder how sleepwalking murders are handled in court

what the christ

and here i felt sorry for beagle because he appeared to have married a woman twice his size who pushed him around

Not guilty by means of insanity/mental defect. Sentenced to a psychiatric facility until the defect is cured.

they're not married
