>BETTER THAN NOTHING AT ALL
pssshhh
I've only watched some of the Firaxis streams, more than enough.

Some of these youtubers might as well be nothing.

break free of conditioning to live happy, peaceful lives post advent destruction

>Terror mission in the gasworks

Thread needs more Pistol.

They Useful.

holy fuck

I want this in xcom 2

Just don't watch any of it and ignore till it releases, then be overwhelmed with Jake's glorious gift to us all

Can you set gas on fire in XCOM 2, if not that should be a thing

>single rifle shot in fog of war
>20 minutes of explosions later
I hate these maps

Big problem is that there's too many buildings to comb through with just an outfit of 14, plus the fact that the fucking pipes explode to nearly everything. But that's fine, because a Pyrrhic victory is still a victory.

you can shoot gas tanks and pumps but there are no gas lines

It's too late user. I watched it all.

>Civilian procs reaction fire half the map away & ayys graze a single tank
>Kills 4-5 of my men & whole map is on fire

I love how the hunter shits all over ChristopherOdd's "move away to full cover and cry to self at night" strategy

Beagle Activity Imminent.

Release the DLC now Jake or you're waifu gets it

>mfw he starts bitching and whining about how the grapple is overpowered

my xcom waifu gets my penis on the reg

Sounds to me like he's afraid.

Why hasn't there been a anime full conversion mod yet?

Because fuck weebs. But where's muh Wolfenstein TC? There should be ports of the models and weapons, at least.

When the Warlock becomes earths most loyal champion what memes will he ban?

youtu.be/QeQBRjGFx90

What would each of the Chosen sing?

Hunter memes.

same reason it took us so long to get doom guy the pulling textures from the engine id uses is really fucking rough to do

>implying you can even lay a hand on her

Dual stream is ON

...

This is the final boss of Xcom 2.

It is the replacement for the Ethereals.

It is extremely powerful yet it needs a Psi Amp.

It used to be an Advent Psi Unit earlier in development.

It's not playable in multiplayer in multiplayer for some reason.

go away, you were already beaten to the punch avatarposter

yusss

I wouldn't touch her, not even with six feet of blade between us

be cuddled!

If only there was a fourth chosen, then there could be a version of this with them, a a Dark Judge cosmetic mod for the Chosen

jake would

Thoughts on the Advent Psi Witch?

...

STAHP

I hate them too but you're just making it worse. I don't want to see all of this Firaxis shills white knighting it up in here, it's killing my faith in humanity.

I assume this is a false flag operation,
anyway.

>firaxis shills
>literally "anyone that disagrees with me is a shill"

lmao /v/ !

lmao!!!

has anyone at all shown the customization options for skirmishers or templars?

>hey Jake, we don't have any endgame enemies to replace the Ethereals from the last game
>oh s-shit, just rename the psychic advent enemies with the retarded hair into avatars
>ok, problem solved

...

>filenames
joeyposter and avatarposter are one in the same

interesting.

This is my concept for a tier 3 grenade launcher. What do you guys think?

They're even worse in Piratez, there's acid rain on the maps that creates smoke literally fucking everywhere and dudes who stand back up if you try to stun em out in addition to massive explosion fucks. It's the god damn worst.

DELETE

Can't say I'm surprised.

would use/10

now the hard part is making it

>hambush
oh no

Advent Psi Witch looks pretty cool.

>he STILL tries

>They repurposed the Avatar design from another planned ADVENT type! Good luck putting the shambles of your life back together after learning that, /xcg/!

this is embarrassing

I am astounded you go to such lengths for yous.

:3

Thanks, I'm learning 3D modelling, but its taking some time.

Rest assured, I will have a working prototype after WotC is released.

...

It could still use some ethereal ornamentation, you know?

Like a red robe/cape or stole of some kind.

You'll also have to consider what differences it would make versus the T2 launcher. I suspect the reason we don't have one in the base game is that Firaxis struggled with this balance question themselves.

You could just make it aesthetically different I guess.

>most of the ayys here died because they hit the pipes while aiming for civies, reaction shot or not

Will War of the Chosen have as much content as Enemy Within?

Well, an +8 tile range is kind of ridiculous, but not really with some of the stuff we're gonna be seeing.

I mean, some of the map packs are gigantic in nature. Its not that big of a deal, really.

Always thought how weird it is to have only 2 tiers of grenade launchers. Especially when your whole team looks like crack-addicted homosexual welders with their tier 3 armors, jury rigged grenade launcher just stands out.
Whose alien ass we'll have to probe to get this?

Could you find some way to make it phase? No LOS needed?

More. By a good amount actually

Firaxis tester here.

The avatar was at one point an Advent Psi Unit. We repurposed it into the avatar enemy because we didn't know what to do with the Psi Witch. The Advent Priest from the expansion is supposed to be the "new" advent psi witch in case you haven't noticed.

They were also 3 other enemies that were scrapped. Drones, ADVENT ACVs, and Synthoids. The drone and acv were almost finished but they got scrapped because of limitations. The synthoid was scrapped very early in development that it didn't even get a basic model.

No, the way grenades function in this game requires some kind of LoS.

>ADVENT ACV

The what now?

Well, I thought about that, but I just thought that it used "Phasing" technology to propel it over longer distances. Kind of like a warp drive kind of thing.

It was supposed to be the APC model you see in game- it was designed to kind of be like a transport like the advent vtol, but persistant and hostile.

The ACV. It was an advent tank. Got scrapped because of limitations.

ACV could stand for armored combat vehicle.

Hey, I remember you.

So was there any thought at that point as to what would be the final boss of the game? Was there supposed to be an ethereal/elder model?

Did they change the story later on to make the elders not appear or was it pretty set from the beginning?

Firaxis tester here.

There is only one Jake and the Warlock is his most loyal champion. I will behead anyone who insults Jake.

jake needs to fix his game

>hype for WOTC
>remember all the cool mods (especially soldier cosmetics) will be out of date

No. It was set from the beginning that Ethereals wouldn't reappear. The thing is that we never thought about making a replacement unit for them. The Avatar wasn't even supposed to be an enemy. It was just part of the story. At the end we just repurposed the Psi Witch into the Avatar because it felt a bit weird to not have a "final boss" type enemy.

Jake here. You're both fired.

He's not a tester, just a faggot larper who made a few map mods.

I totally believe this anonymous poster on this chinese basket weaving forum based on nothing but his word.

Is X Files supposed to be really hard? I did a cult mission and was fine, but I investigated a strange creature and these fucking zombies eat lead and electric clubs for breakfast. I managed to stun and grab one after both agents wailing on it, I think I'm going to abort the mission.

The sad thing is, I actually believe you.

We had such high hopes for you...

Zombies are super resistant to stun damage, have big health pools, but no armor. Bring shotguns with buckshot.

If i remember right, there is a T3 grenade launcher mod in the workshop(no new model) and it uses the blaster launcher firing mode. You could do that.

My dad works at Jake Solomon and he says you are a homo lmao

Honestly don't be mad at the Avatar. The Ethereals weren't going to be enemies either way. There wasn't even concept art of them.

Grimy's loot had some ideas for how to improve it.
Heat +pierce
Corrosive +shred
Liquid Explosive +crit
Longshot Propellant +range
Hydra Barrel +capacity

dumb avatarposting has reached a critical threshold

I know. I preordered the artbook and remember excitedly flipping through it, waiting to see concept art of the new Ethereals and... nothing.

I just wish they had designed the Avatars more with a nod to the originals, you know? Oh well.

Now we have these chosen faggots to deal with instead. Don't know how you could stand to test that, having to hear the same voice lines over and over.

and now samefagging

pathetic

Stop talking shit about Jake

I honestly don't see the problem with the Avatar's design. And it spent more time in development as the Avatar than the Psi Witch. I mean we even have it cutscenes and its own Psi rifle. Yeah the hair is a bit goofy but then look at the Archon's design and the Codex's bizzare animations. A lot of these weird designs were inspired by bladerunner and other scifi movies. The only enemy designs I hate are the alien rulers. The chosen do talk too much but they look cool in my opinion.

The codex was heavily inspired by pris from bladerunner.
