/xcg/ - XCOM General

Maybe, maybe not. I use it not because I find timers difficult but because I think it limts strategic freedom too much. At least early game is more diffcult than before but it doesn't really have much to do with timers.

How do you do, fellow humans?

Who else here is /still at it/?

nice

If you think that is edgy you must lead a boring and innocuous existence.

>supply raid with lost sitrep

dis gon b gud

Post some cute skirmisher girls

I've been downloading for 5 hours and I haven't even reached 8G yet.

the old spit-roast

Out skilled my friend.

Can they form bonds with regular troops?

So are aesthetic mods still working at least?

Edgy doesn't just mean grimdark emo shit. It's also being "too cool" or a try hard and taking ones self completely serious.

These load times are ridiculously fast.

>half of my roster is wounded, tired, shaken, or all of the above after lost and abandoned

MOM'S

Okay 12 year old.

Some are, some aren't, some are but are bugged and have no textures.

You can never play Viper den with WOTC, I'm pretty bummed about that.

>No wounds whatsoever on L&A.
>Aside from my medic who got nothing personneled by the assassin stone cold dead.

you can if you disable dlc integration

So no Bradford?

So how do i stop the Chosen progress bar thingy?

>Expansion incompatible with previously bought DLC

Dare I say, magnificent design?

By killing the Chosen.

>Still waiting for at least Capnbub's accessories
>Various Speedups won't be updated until September

This is going to kill me.

what the fuck have you done, my casualties at laa were some rookie bbq'd by purifier and elena that almost got wrecked by the ASSassin

Does this mean Rulers will just show up? Or is everything disabled

Capnbubs apparently already updated his stuff but is having trouble uploading it to the workshop. If you really can't wait the WOTC compatible accessories pack is on the Xcom 2 Nexus.

I had 2 people get nothing slashed by the assassin. After she did it the first time she went out of LoS and I couldn't find her, so she stealthed again and slashed another before I could hit her. All of my skilled soldiers besides Elena are tired or wounded now

Rulers are assigned to Alien Facilities as guards and won't appear until you raid it. Once the facility is destroyed, they'll start appearing in regular missions as normal.

>Streamers get raped on L&A + first reliatation
>Try it for myself
>No wounds on L&A despite a lot of 75+ % misses, easily dispatch the Assassin by moving super aggressively and predicting she'd move only about 6 tiles
>17 civvies saved on reliatation despite dashing all my soldiers constantly, only grave wound was a Faceless because I kinda slipped and forgot and he got a crit meme. The two civvies lost were one civvie on "pod approach" after two turns on the last two civvie pods, and one resistance soldier on the flank

Turns out Overwatch crawl got massively shafted again. The best way to play now is to be super agressive but still know your limits

Also includes Field Commander. Counterintuitive, but you need not engage any pod until you reach the Commander, he sits so far back you can easily back him and then backtrack through the level normally

I bet "bomb disposal" is the same thing. Since no nodes spawn close to the start it's logical to dash two turns to get as many nodes as possible

That shit is pretty hard to deal with desu

if you're having trouble with skirmishers try to keep in mind their range falloff is the same as a shotgun

I disabled mine, the only advantage is you get to buy the AH weapons for cheap like 20 supplies rather than research and then building them in the proving grounds.

Yep, also no Shen I think since I haven't gotten the Lost towers mission yet either.

On that one new mission type where you have to destroy the psyonic thing with a charge the bomb doesn't go off it just gives you a win screen and that kind of makes me mad.

i hope they don't update the game. MY DISK IS TOO FULL

>chosen decided to spawn
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>Advent also gets the free turn
I should've expected that

Yes you can, you just disable integrative mode and check both the boxes for them.

Literally outsmarted by a fucking check box.

Can someone confirm if DLC story missions are kill in the expansion?

How long till a mod enables them?

It's more likely than you think

Ohhhhhh shit, well fuck me with a fucking broomstick.

>How long till a mod enables them?
>mod

You can play them, you just have to opt into them before you start. Default wotc has the story missions for them disabled but all of the content is otherwise still in game.

So what happens if you don't check it?

Do skirmishers, reapers, and templars have unique character biography or is it blank like the SPARKs?

>Coming online to ask someone to explain the tooltip on a fucking checkbox for you.

>Bring my templar on a mission, does fine. Gets nothing personneled, almost bled out.
>Month later, he gets kicked out of a hospital. Bring him on a mission. Does fine. But what do you know, he gets nothing personneled again, currently bleeding out in the middle of the battlefield.
Those chosen are something, eh?

>TIME REMAINING
> 21 hours 33 minutes

Been downloading for 8 now :^)

Just don't intergrate the dlc

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Lost and Abandoned
Take high ground, get sweet XCOM ability points.

Is performance weird for anyone else?
>takes like 3 tries to launch wotc
>laggy af in menus and with loading
>the tutorial is broken (won't let me move the guy in concealment to the spot its marking to)

Does console/debug mode still work?

hey guys is WOTC worth the $40 dollaridooarinos?

Yeah it does.

If you don't mind giving your shekles to the Jews

She's not particuarly "lethal" outside of the stabby-stabby but damn if it ain't annoying.

get a job you pathetic neet

>Buying Early Access

>Psionic Transmitter
>Flawless run, every pod killed on reveal
>One extra ADVENT reinforcement holding a turn
>Another turn to reload and position to breach
>A last turn killing four nodes
>1 turn left on the transmitter after killing ALL the nodes

I think a hotfix will be coming soon bumping psionic transmitter time limits by 1 or adding more nodes

>every single mod I had installed broken
>even the ones that that replace the cancerous default healthbars

that is a really unattractive look

Skirmisher bro in the making
Is that Skirmisher Order still in game that makes a random ADVENT deflect each mission? That sounded amazingly fun.

I really fucked up that neutralize field commander mission. Not playing it that way again.

If you mean Divinity it's literally out in 2 weeks

Wait really? Nevermind.

>Trying to kill alien ruler before it runs away with Beta Strike turned on

Fuck me. It's buttery smooth. Delicious.

Have any of the major essential mods been updated to work with WotC yet?

Is LW working with this DLC lads?

It is an unexpectedly good month for strategy grognards. I preordered both Blood Bowl 2 Legendary Edition and War of the Chosen. I'm going to buy TWW2 later. There are just too many fucking good games coming out.

>Sitrep: Black Ops (regain concealment if all visible enemies are killed on XCOM turn)
>Mission: Eliminate ADVENT Field Commander
This is some serious spec-ops shit.

>Has any mod been updated in

This fucking guy

?

Literally no.

why?

Lad you get an extremely fun extremely well made extension and the first thing you ask is "Hey guys how can i make this shit more tedious?"

BREAKING NEWS:
Covert ops\Breakthroughs for extra attachment slot can appear more than once, allowing you to install a shitload of stuff on your weapons.
