Is there a mod where I can modify the armor options for the new DLC classes? I don't want to have the use Templar with the same shitty default armor

Going into full cover just means its easier for ADVENT to crit you
Jonathan Rivera
Female Skirmishers tight pants make me moist.
Jonathan Cooper
It's sub 20%, not 0%.
I once rolled double 6s twelve times in a row. The odds of that were astronomical, not zero. Statistics is funny that way.
That said RNGesus is totally real and fickle as shit.

It was a bittersweet feeling and i miss it
Grayson Flores
speaking of the vanilla game's retarded aim rolls, has that mod updated? I never actually checked

Is it worth playing the tutorial for WotC?
Having to suffer through the vanilla mission is a chore

Landon Gray
no but lost and abandoned is pretty cool
I like how a lot of the cutscenes are in engine and thus have your dudes moving around in them
Gavin Bell
You don't need to do the vanilla tutorial, just have Lost & Abandoned enabled.

The Chosen can do three actions per Turn.

You can skip gatecrasher with the quick start mod

>Going into full cover just means its easier for ADVENT to crit you The way I had hit chance explained to me was chance to dodge is an upper bounds on the roll and chance to crit is a lower bounds on the roll so full cover doesn't actually make it more likely that you'll suffer a crit. It just makes it more likely that if you are hit you will be crit because it only lowers the upper bounds.
So say if you roll a 1 you get crit, a 10 you dodge, and a 2-9 you take a normal hit outside of cover, but in cover it's 1, 6-10, and 2-5 then your chance to suffer a crit was always 10%, but your chance to suffer a crit if you take damage went from 11% to 20%.
Which kinda makes sense. Losing your extremities, ie hands, feet, and head, are going to suck the most in a fight and that's what's going to get shot from full cover.
If you get hit in full cover it's almost always a crit
Isaac Rodriguez
Meanwhile ADVENT has no max weapon range, more troops on the field, and a much higher willingness to throw bullets at a wall in case something hits
Chase Price
That's what he said as he explained the mechanics of why that is the case.
Brandon Perry
They have four APs, I should say.
Julian Gonzalez
>Are you sure about that? They only seem to do three things whenever I meet them. Some of the shit they can do is considered a free action I've heard.
>If you get hit in full cover it's almost always a crit >If you get hit See everything I just said about why that is. Cover will only lower your chance to take a crit if you can lower dodge bounds past the crit bounds. For example 90% chance to dodge 20% chance to crit would actually come out as 90% chance to dodge 10% chance to crit, 100% chance to crit if hit. And it will only increase your chance to crit if hit, potentially up to 100% as in this example.

Who thought this was a good idea? It it just compensation for the AI?
Cameron Gonzalez
>Vahlen's test site mission only has four or five poster locations, the Viper King's ice throne isn't even one of them >Shen's Last Gift has exactly one poster location and it's the least photogenic you could find
I know they didn't want us to play these missions, but come on. It would have been so easy.
Elijah Peterson
>a week earlier >autosave Ironman autosaves every turn for you :^)
Austin Powell
Not in WOTC it doesn't
Justin Ross
>Losing your extremities, ie hands, feet, and head, are going to suck the most in a fight and that's what's going to get shot from full cover. Admittedly I may only think this because the game I played before XCOM2 was Sniper Elite 4 where I assure you, chance to crit if hit only scales with cover height unless you get one of those bullshit shots that deflects off the peak of the helmet.
Still, I can understand why you would want to mod this from a mechanical level for a strategy game.
Adrian Murphy
well color me retarded and lucky my game didnt crash yet
Dumb luck best luck
Joshua Hill
Just turn off ironman if you got the achievement already it doesn't matter
James Torres
It's been very inconsistent about saving, sometimes I've crashed, sometimes I've "crashed" and it's always a coinflip when I reload the game if I'll be in the same mission or back on the geoscape
Jordan Bell
>It it just compensation for the AI? Your shots against the AI work the same. You are more likely to crit them if you hit them while they are in cover.

Lad are you legit retarded just turn off ironman for the crash safety all you have to do for it to be just like ironman is to not load unless you crashed
Colton Harris
just hunker down bro

dudes settings are muffed up i have the same mod and it looks fine

so holotargeting and all-inning a fullcover target is best? oh fuck me the aussieshills are at awake

hello?
Levi Powell
Retarded? no I haven't crashed once since I started WotC Game works so much better for me than before I'm aware that isnt the case for all people but until it happens i dont care???
Mason Perez
lmao people STILL don't know how the game works
Brody Wood
did you go in with ballistics?

How the fuck do you kill a Muton pod with ballistics? I made the mistake of playing fucking Legendary, and now I'm drowning in Berserkers, Mutons, and Mecs.

Jayden Price
It's incredible how smoothly the game runs now and how fast everything loads, holy shit. Before it took a minute or two to load missions and the framerate never went above 15, now everything loads in less than 30 seconds and the framrate never drops below 60.
Anthony Cruz
it is pretty fucking gr8 now if only it didn't crash for me all the time now
Ian Bennett
I still only have one skirmisher which sucks dick because I really enjoy how they play how do I get more

The only way i noticed is through covert ops And even then it happened only once -for a reaper- in a full playthrough

you can get kinda close with the RE wolfpack cosmetic packs on the workshop
also where the fuck is the weapon megapack? stop making me wait

Lel, I had the exact same thing happen. It's so neat they react to what you do.
Juan Rodriguez
>2 slashes and 4 shots gets her to half health holy fuck how long did you delay alien hunters? That archon is going to have like 6 armor, 120 health, 20 defense, and like 30-40 dodge
Cameron Clark
>so holotargeting and all-inning a fullcover target is best? Holotargeting reduces your chance to crit if you hit because it increases your chance to hit.
Say you have 3 numbers x, y, and z.
x is the highest number you can roll and still crit y is your shot roll. z is the lowest number that will cause you to miss.
If y

>LOST >crate tagging
should I just abandon?

I avoid Ironman so I don't get stuck with next level bullshit like enemies leaping through rooftops to flank or shooting through the ceiling with no LoS

do it for bradford commander
Leo Johnson
>bought WotC >started playing >forgot to turn on Iron man WELP and there goes the first restart already! Also: pic related best advanced options? I know I definitely want the longer mission timers (in base had a mod that added 2 turns I think) but I'm not sure about Avatar Project, I do enjoy a more laid back lengthy approach, but I'm afraid it might make it too easy.
Jayden Nelson
Just don't use explosives user.
Parker Morgan
If you tag and bag one crate and evac it still counts as mission success.
Aiden Sanchez
Low Profile sitrep is fucking lame
James Martin
Just tag one crate, how do people have problems with this mission?
Jackson Cooper
Take a few then evac as soon as you see any sign of danger. It's very easy to get fucked up doing that mission, and you can still get some measure of success regardless of killing ayys.
Leo Rogers
>Had to fight a sectopod with squaddies
yeah i evacced that one
Lucas Watson
>All this talk of blademaster Rangers.
After running this build since vanilla release is it finally time for blademaster to get some appreciation?

Blake Davis
"Blademaster" rangers in WOTC benefit from the fact that they can also be sneakyshotty rangers at the same time. It's less "make sword ranger" and more "make cheekibreeki ranger who also murders ayys with sword when needed"
Cooper Cruz
Don't forget you get ethereal coldsteel folded 1.38E+10 times when you kill bitch.
Austin Cooper
That's what blademaster ranger always was. Hell even with Reaper you can chain kill low health enemies then take a shot with your shotgun at the end
Jaxon Johnson
TRUE BRO
Brody Jackson
The assassin sword you get for killing her can't miss and ignores armor and you can unlock both skills for any tier with the ability points. Also with templar you have another melee focused unit that can potentially unlock bladestorm as well for double the fun.
Cooper Bell
Bladestorm is way stronger in WotC with shit like the Lost and melee units being more frequent
