Not just using the Legacy Captcha. Come on man.

>WotC features managing relations with different factions
>behind the scenes talk of turning it into a sequel
Apocalypse confirmed?

[spoilers]I want to see these factions in XCOM 3 along with Shen Industries, Tygen labs, and the Vahlen Institute for Experimentation -
oh, why not EXALT too?[/spoiler]

does it aggro like a landmine like the normal chrysallids do?

It burrowed, I moved my shinobi, suddenly she was detected and the queen rushed outta nowhere to hit her

Legacy captcha is worse while posting from my cellphone

>giving money to chink moot
user pls

Sorry mate but it's actually the opposite. They were considering it for a sequel but decided to make an expansion instead. Apocalypse unconfirmed. Ending begin expanded makes TFTD tease likely.

>Phoneposter
Worse than ADVENT.

Hey I contribute. I spent all last thread helping anons and discussing WotC.

Don't scapegoat people like the platform they're using defines them.

why does the game even give you the option to skip a mission?
obviously if people are trying to scan then theyre just seeing if they can quickly get a guy out of wounded/finish a site before starting the mission

So you can skip the mission?

good lad

>skip a mission to see what happens
>lose the entire area
there is literally no reason to skip a mission

>Reddit spacing phoneposter
Thinmint tier

I've been posting like this since 2007. Fuck you and your enter key meme.

>2007

He's been posting on reddit since 2007! LYNCH HIM

Epic fail lolz

Dude, they're trolling you. Just accept that this is /xgc/ hazing you today and move on. If you aren't used to it, then I don't know what to tell you.

>all this bullshit about phones, reddit and spacing
I come to Veeky Forums to get away from forced memes.

looks like /xcg/ isn't niche enough to be immune to mainstream memery

>/xgc/

>He doesn't know

>xgom :DDDD

found this out watching a recap vid, but that's pretty neat that you can get more than one reaper, skirmisher, and templar

and if you lose your first one they're replaced

How the FUCK am I suppose with the sudden difficulty spike after the first advent black site mission. I've had 3 runs end because I lose my best units to the rape robot and every mission after mutons wipe out every squad until the avatar project finishes because the project site was in Africa when I started in North America.

Oh but I do know user. I do know.

on my 15th birthday, too

I know what I said, fuckstick. I was here for that, back in 1968 A.D. when Nixon was president.

m-moot?

.ini editing.

Were Pavonis all abused by grenades as a child? Is this their form of revenge?

Nixon didn't take office until 69. The sex number.

Checkmate atheists

fuck, that's right moot is the same age as me

wait, is it confirmed his birthday is october 1st too? I never really paid much attention and the only interaction I ever had with him was a few games of natural selection 2 with him on my team

surprisingly he wasn't shit

>having sex in 10+5+2000
Maximum pleb.

>moot
>not being shit
Pick one. Fuck, /xcg/ can't get anything right tonight.

His birthday remains unknown to this date according to wikipedo.

well his alien play was solid, but he was a dogshit commander

so I guess he can still be shit

>he doesn't know the pleasure of a girl with an oral fixation
>he only posts from his desktop

>Have to redownload all my mods and redo thier settings because the workshop fucked up and crashed mid mod download

>liking women
>not vipers
Pleb 100% confirmed.

>liking vipers

you should probably neck yourself m8

Collaborators will KNOW THE ANGUISH THAT CAN BE INFLICTED ON THOSE WHO DEFY THE COMMANDY ONE.

use AML mate

Are the new aliens in Long War 2 considered canon?

Well there really isn't anything that would conflict with canon. But it is just a mod.

You are pretty good!

No; why would you think they are?

ALSO ]WTF DID GOOK MOOT DO TO THE CAPTCHA

Mook ruined everything, as is tradition.

Why does she have a brand mark on her ass
Hiroshimoot doesn't control captcha. Moot never controlled captcha. Google controls captcha. Stupid phoneposters.

>not phoneposting while hanging out with your viper as she tongues your asshole pleasingly
Are you just trying to be the biggest fag alive?

>Stupid phoneposters.
What's that got to do with anything?

I do, the error causes me to be unable to access workshop completely.

Is WotC even adding any new common enemies besides the Lost?

Yes

Purifiers, Priest, and the shadow ayy I keep forgetting the name of.

Specter.

Spectre. Also worth noting that there's different kinds of Lost, we've already seen two, the normies and the thoughies.

I don't think dashers are the tough lost.

I thought they had more health, than the normal ones.

They do, but apparently they aren't the actual tough ones.

miss

The rookie has panicked.

He just activated another pod

Do you guys think that any of the original XCOM staff straight up defected to ADVENT?

Like high ranking engineers or scientists?

Big Sky sold us out

I wouldn't be surprised if the ones that survived was still working for xcom, were killed or went into hiding.

Could you imagine if you had to fight your original A-team

Big Sky is the one dropping reinforcements

Big Sky > Firebrand

Isn't big sky dead, You know the ship you scavenge all the alien hunters stuff off isn't that his ship?

The scan explicitly mentions there is no body at the crash site, leaving his fate ambiguous.

No body, no confirmation.

>all the alien hunters stuff
>Valhen builds these while under siege from the hunters with limited resources and time
>Tygan can't reproduce them

Valhen is one of the world's top scientists, Tygan is just some random researcher that had a change of heart

In all fairness, while he's no Vahlen, some of the shit he manages to pull in the campaign is out of this world.

Seems it'll be brought up to 11 in WOTC since despite suddenly developing alzheimers he can outright repeatedly permanently improve aspects of technology.

Nonsense, Vahlen is only obsessed with creating cock monsters, she is no match for Tygan whose goal is recreating the Advent Burger.

>despite suddenly developing alzheimers
What?

Joke on how breakthroughs are temporary and if you don't take them as soon as they show up they'll disappear.

Ah.

True it's still kind of silly that he can't reproduce at least the axe.

breakthroughs are probably random, which means it might be possible to get breakthroughs that improve alien hunters weaponry, and my only question is, how the fuck.

I could not have predicted this outcome, but it is intriguing.

doubt it
if anything the hunter weapons might benefit on breakthroughs on their type
like the axe on sword breakthroughs and so on

That still asks the amusing question of how Tygan's Miraculous Science Thought can affect weapons made by an entirely different researcher.

I don't understand the purpose of breakthroughs. They look like they'll just be buffs to the player.

They are
Apparently the tradeoff is that they appear only once, but honestly I've never been in a situation where I absolutely needed a certain research done

So I reinstalled EU for a pre-WotC playthrough...
