/xcg/ - XCOM General

the islanders are out watch your booze

Mate.

yes

>being English

I pity you.

>living in Northern Ireland
>pitying anyone else

lol

its true though its hot

I don't see the problem. We're not overrun with immigrants who grope women and blow themselves up at concerts.

Should've went with /xcg/ - International edition.

Have a real /v/ XCOM thread.

>it's either furfags or literal gay shit
I don't understand /v/.

You can also have the worst of both worlds and have gay furfags.

Not understanding /v/ is a good thing, just like not understanding /pol/

It means you have retained some of your human decency

But your average furfag is gay.

/worcestershire/ bro

fuck it's hot

I'm too scared to play XCOM 2 for fear my GPU would combust so I'm bashing my head against a wall trying to git gud and break los on EW

True, but the /v/ variety is the full extreme of the spectrum. Like, full on "All women are shit" mode.

>gay furfags.
>worst
They aren't worst since gays can't reproduce.

No problem bro. It was really irksome someone left it like that after editing everything else anyway.

>that gay shit
Holy shit has /v/ only recently gotten this bad, or am I just now noticing after leaving?

>1st XCOM 2 playthrough
>Doing extremely well, multiple flawless missions one after another
>think I'm hot shit, try to do the Blacksite mission with my brand spanking new magnetic weapons
>get my shit pushed in by mutons who flanked the fuck out of me
>no rookies for me to buy anywhere even if I wanted to continue the run

Talk about luck turning on a dime.

Anyone got any tips? Magnetic weapons or Armor first? What kinda team should I have. How early can I do the blacksite mission? When should I start to deal with reducing the Avatar Project bar?

...

Weapons then armor, no expectations for any x-com game.

Magnetic first, I like to have at least one of each class (add extra grenadier and/or ranger or psi op when squad size upgrade comes).

As far as the blacksite and avatar project, I like to wait until the bar is maxed before touching either. But that's because I like to game the timer.

how do i bring back 10-man squads?

1.3 is such a pile of dogshit.

I miss how you would have 10-14 operatives plus an actual fucking TANK in UFO Defense. Too bad it was impossible to really tell any of them apart. Only "this guy is a rookie" and "this guy is not"

>no rookies for me to buy anywhere even if I wanted to continue the run
that's called "shit design". it's amazing how both the expansion and long war suck so much dick on the design part. the unique shit that they add(and even more broken shit that we'll get from hunters now, i mean seriously), recruitment problems, broken levelups.

they could've just copied old xcom instead and it would be literally better.

it's also called not having backup squads to rotate around for this eventuality, what do you mean by broken levelups? I've never come across a lack of recruits personally but I always try to spam contact regions as fast as possible which might be why

are you the mean user who said they would rather this general die as an X-COM general than nu-com?

Anyone want to guess how my first meeting with an andromedon went?

>finish the level with the Chryssalid whale
>lose one of my best, barely make it out
>less than a day later
>UFO in an area without interceptors
>blows up satellite
>area immediately goes into panic
how the fuck am I supposed to win at this game
I really enjoy the unit customization and shit but having to pretty much stand there and watch myself lose despite it is pretty unfun

>go balls to the wall to kill it
>get fucking destroyed when you realize its not completely dead yet

>UFO in an area without interceptors
That's your own damn fault

I have no fucking idea how to get more. I checked Engineering but the option is straight up not there, only for Interceptor upgrades.

Ding ding ding!

So what's the ideal approach for these bastards?

edit the ini retard

>go balls to the wall to kill it
>acquire robo slave

I've hacked almost every robot with my super poo hacker.

go to the hangar and buy planes

exploit untouchable

dont kill it if you are not ready to deal with the shell
whittle him down so that you only have to finish him off with as little actions as possible and everyone else wail on the shell
if you can hack it you might shut it down to gain time
also bluescreen rounds

Go to the hangar and under each continent there is an option to order more.

Y'know what I'm feeling nice actually.

Go to
SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\844674609\Config\XComMissions.ini

And change the maxsoldiers line for each mission type. 12 is the maximum supported by the UI.

I kind of want to play an xcom survival mode, like you start with a squad and see how long you can last under an ever growing force.

A last stand sort of thing.

>radar picks up a landed large ship, most likely a supply ship so I send out a squad comprising of mostly rookies since I need some veterans quickly after a string of losses.
>when approaching the site, a landed battleship and another supply ship pop up a few minutes away and figure I'll deal with them after the supply ship
>on the first mission out of the 3 planned, this is the landing site
I'm fugged. I'm already running a huge point deficit the past few months so If I don't go positive this month I'm done.

Can't wait for my main man to show these new dlc rookies how to remove ayys properly.
Who /DoomOfAyys/ here?

Wasn't there a mod exactly for this? It had waves, and you could buy new soldiers and upgrades. Pretty sure it required you to download the full Mod tools package to use.

That looks pretty maneable to me, they aren't even looking at you.

nigger why don't you have las weapons?

>everything in that speech
WHO'S KID WROTE THIS

I'm sick, so in my boredom I decided to draw rule 34 of Annette Durand. The line work is kinda sloppy but I spent a lot of time on the color work. Hope you like it.

When this gets inevitably deleted it's on pahael and rule34hentai. Maybe I'll make something of Vahlen next.

It always feels wierd when someone talks like that. Like only twelve year olds and maybe some autistic weebs. Like what the actual fuck?

...

Is there a working mod that lets you use the debug camera with keyboard and mouse or a way to edit it in? For some reason the one I use stopped working when I got back into the game and I cant get my controller to work for some fucking reason.

ayys meet the same fate as demons

What if she's an autistic weeb. Collecting authentic katanahs and uploading water bottle cutting videos to Adventnet?

Doom weapons fucking when?

This is exponentially worse than watching Borat and autistic rants, the cringe is real, especially since people will now associate this drivel with my favorite game franchise.

the sfm dudes have some maybe we could ask them

Maybe have Vhalen getting Viper King'd

She is an alien she is not used to our human norms. Maybe it sounds really cool and not autistic in her language, but sounds dumb in English.
Give her break.

remove ayyy

Was thinking about Vahlen x Sectoid this time. Would do Commander x Vahlen but already got that with Annette.

Will strongly consider viper king though.

:^)

I did not know we had drawfags of this caliber

...

I can't read his facial expression, is this approval?

being autistic sucks

This one always makes me smile.

More like being sure that no one gets to bring friends on his aircraft.

I know that feel, fellow autist
It was disgust

>Viper King is male
>Vipers infesting Vahlen's base were female, young, unusually patterned and not advent, they were using Vahlen's resistance weapons
>Viper King has inappropriate feelings for mama Vahlen
>Things happened, the King crowns his new Queen
>Vahlen birthed a new generation of free vipers before escaping
>Viper King continues to look for his Queen

Sectoids are gross, would not bang

Ethereal master race forever

He's judging you to see if you're a big guy.

Actually an interesting idea. Might give that a try while sketching.

I'm not writing a fanfic, I'm drawing a picture. But still a nice idea.

>She can masturbate you with her mind

Does long war 2 have persistent timers or something? I installed a disable timers mod but I still have one. is the mod broke?

The mod probably changes a value that is overwritten/ignored by LW. The timers are fairly generous in LW2 from my experience, but I do play on commander.

I just dislike being forced into a timer. probably gonna wait till the mod works again, I think.

I'm fairly certain the values are ini editable.

...

Don't post watersports you degenerate.

I find myself disgusted aroused at the Xcom: EW Chryssalid animations

did I miss something earlier in the thread?

yeah jake came in and posted several development pictures of the expansion but deleted his posts and got any replies about it removed too

Long War 2 has built in timer modifications for those that don't want to wait for mod authors to update. (XComLW_Overhaul.ini) Lines 1037 - 1040 will have what you're looking for.

rule34

It's on pahael

how the fuck am i supposed to do exalt missions
i have to defend this area against 30 guys with a team of six

tons of explosives, remove all the cover from the area and take pot shots at the poor souls who have to stand there in the open
have your operative ready to disable their weapons if you need it
and focus on the heavies the moment they appear
and more explosives

IN THE NAME OF KANE

Double Tap or In The Zone?

We need more C&C-based mods.

Zone trooper armour for T3 gear etc.

Double tap is the popular choice, but I like ITZ

For vanilla, I take two snipers, one with double tap, one with ITZ

I am very hype for WotC
