What alien champion is missing after assassin and warlock? There's mind control and stealth, both pretty faggy subversive classes, is there gonna be some big beefy explosive fucker?

Yeah the last one will be a tank/dps.

The third one is a sniper, so you have CLOSE RANGE?! You have medium range and long range.

Are exploding skeleton zombies not explosive enough for you?

Isn't that the Assassin?

The Warlock can stasis himself while his ghosts fuck you and he summons explosive zombies, so given that the third Chosen is a sniper i think the Warlock is the "tank" of the group.

That's the hunter, did you even watch the announcement trailer? He is the one that says >You're not supposed to be here~

He's my favorite one

>Everyone in the expansion is voiced by a TNG cast member

Warlock is my favorite so far, he looks like a madman.

>Commander! The Elders demand you return!
>blows the fucking avenger up with a giant cannon knowing that you are inside
>sends an army of exploding alien skeleton ghosts to """"capture""""" you

It's like Gargoyles all over again

>waterworld won't be changed to have you fight the chosen as the final boss rather then three avatars
feels like a missed opportunity

It will be though, they explicitly said you will fight them in the last mission, and that there is a new ending cutscene.

Although i think maybe they said you only fight them in the last mission if you didn't kill them during the campaign, but i'm not sure about that.

it is only if you didn't kill them during the campaign

The new alien hunters setup would allow that setup

Imagine that

>do 4 damage to the viper king
>berserker queen spawns
>run one soldier away from it
>archon king spawns
>kill yourself

Does a sectoid's mindspin ever hit? What does it even do?

I really hope the cool intro cutscene bit is not exclusive to those who ignore the chosen.

randomly panics/disorients/mind controls

Has a chance to panic/disorient/mind control soldiers for two turns if they fail a will check.

Psi operatives have the opportunity to train in a mirror type skill called insanity.

>get death from above on ranger
>its surprisingly good

>expansion comes out Aug 28th
>MGSV came out Sept 1
>XCOM 2 came out Feb 5th
>DXMD came out Aug 23rd
every fucking game I want to play always comes out when class is back in session

youtube.com/watch?v=74fhO9SCD2U&feature=youtu.be
Gameplay of the city and probably the intro mission for the two factions. Looks hard as fuck, you get introduced to Lost, Purifiers, and the Ayy lady all in one go.

If it's important you make the time

This expansion looks better and better with each video.

>finally make the pastebin
>miss out on the skirmisher
>now have to add this

Th-thanks Jake...

Neat

Why do they look like they're from a different game?

>3:07 - 3:17

What a bitch

>Triggered pod inside building
>Grapple onto roof
>Throw mimic beacon in front of window.
>Officer marks soldier that threw beacon
>Whatever just shoot the beacon
>Shoots through the fucking roof and hits my soldier for 3 damage
>Oh xcom you're so crazy
>Other advent troop decides he doesn't give a shit about the beacon and shoots through the ceiling to hit my guy on the roof again
>Fucking crit
>Reload save.

I don't know how anyone puts up with iron man given the bullshit that can happen.

It's being called a warlock

Play on normal

>Drone triggers two pods, when I already had one up.
>Next turn another pod walks in
>Forgot the codex clones so i had two of them going
>All of this on a retaliation mission

JUST

He was an ayy, he deserves to die.

But he has a human heart!

>crate recovery mission
>it's inside a 2x3 van that you cant actually stand on/in
>standing adjacent to the box after BLOWING THE DAMN WALL OUT OF THE VAN still cant target it
>forced to fail/retreat
>get back after loading to ship
>camera's stuck under the ship, followed shortly by a crash

alright, i suppose that's enough of xcom 2 for now. i cant handle this much horseshit back to back.

Any info on the purifier, priest or spectre yet?

Purifiers use flamthrowers and fire bombs, spectres make copies of your guys. Dunno about the priests.

holy shit the dude on the left
STAND NAME [Losing Control]

So spectres just have a shittier mind control?

>Bringing a squaddie on an end game supply raid.

He gon' learn today

I doubt you can get rid of their copies by flashbanging them. We don't really know anything except that "they make dark copies of your soldiers".

Games aren't important

revival protocol clears the copy, so there's that

so does the real one turn unconscious? That's worse than mind control imo if the copy spawns near the aliens.

that's what I'm thinking

I know you can kill the copy without repercussions, so maybe they are just stunned until it's dead/wears off and get back up

Is there a mod that spreads packs around maps more? I am really sick to death of every pack spawning right next to each other. It makes most classes completely fucking useless. There's no point to anything but grenadiers and snipers because of it.

Is this good vid on the expansion?

youtube.com/watch?v=o-ik5hH9gGU

no need for me to ask it's a yes

seems there's no turn transitions when there's no active enemies any more? that's nice if so.

thanks m8

Did the skirmisher sacrifice himself at the end of that mission.

Also will there be female skirmishers?

I know this is the special mission but I'm hoping we got new music for the tactical layer

Sounds like the skirmisher has FO2 Marcus' voice actor

>Photo Booth
All I want is a signboard pose

What are these tentacle things?

Their from EU. Like a mini bomb thing that sucks in humans turns them into that green stuff

youtube.com/watch?v=mMhdzRDIddU

the sprinting lost look like they'll be a huge pain in the ass

Nice

nice mate

cant wait to see these kinda lads in the booth

so why doesn't this game have a skirmish mode or mission editor again?

Gonna be fun with mods
>propaganda posters featuring Yukari Yuzuki and MC Ride

because it's not that kind of game?

there's a horde mode sorta thing in a mod

Anyone else worried about how the tier 3 gear for Reapers and Skirmishers will look like?

Not really i trust them to not make them look like shit

Daddy

>ADVENT took our death metal

Good news to the user who had pointed out the Bullpup is basically the AUG, it has a unique reload animation just perfect for weapon mods... like the AUG

Apparently chosen freeze timers

So aliens like death metal?

It looks more like a tavor than the AUG

The last straw.

Based ADVENT

metal cucks btfo. praise the elders

...

Wonder what Julian's thinking right now

Well, he is obsessed with bodies.

God I need them inside me so fucking bad. I want them to assault my prostate with their meaty cocks while they rip out a disgusting deep groan as they cum inside me.

>"I always thought humans were frail and weak, but I wouldn't mind downloading myself into one of THOSE specimens."

>No Lost Champions made from Dead Xcom Soldiers

gay

>Also will there be female skirmishers?

Yes, you see one (fully armoured) in the trailer. She's in blue rather than white.

Doubt it, I imagine he'll show up again or something since he's pretty unique

This skirmisher looks female. So yes, we can actually have Advent captain waifus now

>black chinese woman specialist with american accent
XCOM has a thing for outliers

Big booty gene mods
You take what you can get in XCOM

Still gonna kill the skirmisher's though

Earth for Humans only. Ayys go home

Is it American 9? I'm sure that's a British woman impersonating a ghetto black American. Would make her an even weirder outlier.

this

remove all xeno

I dunno how to feel about the new icons for radio chatter from bradford and crew

>game explicitly tells you commanders aren't retarded
>also explains that commanders make other advent less retarded
>plus the beacon got nerfed
>still angry that the entire pod didn't fall for an obvious ruse

advent will more often shoot at a marked target hth
