XCOM ARE MONSTERS!

Post it you fuck so I can go to sleep.

>Holy fuck make a new thread edition
Don't tell me what to do, you communist. I bet you voted for Hillary.

Advent aren't aliens cause they were all made on Earth.

I'm sorry, you got your hopes up too far. It was the Chosen Assassin on a retaliation mission walking into a church and literally going from full health to ded by nothing but Resistance Fighters.

No, I voted for Hitler.

always supply starved now

is it best to expand fast?

>get an incredibly helpful crit
>game crashes and the crit never rolls again
>next mission get an incredibly helpful overwatch
>game hangs immediately afterwards
fucking epic

If I dominate mind control an enemy during the first stage of a chosen stronghold, can they be brought to the second stage?

nope, save dominate for chosen room

*sneaks up behind u*

>Specialist hacks 15 day magnetics down to 7.
>Hacks control of a stunlancer in same mission
>Sectoid immediately tries to mind control Stunlancer, fails and causes it to panic
>On its last turn, the Stunlancer tries to stab the sectoid but misses
>Just lob a bomb and finish this shit

Most worthless brainrape victim ever.

...

>weapon pack STILL not on the workshop

what armor mod?

Finally beat WotC, but I never beat the base game (got burnt out right as I started the final mission)

There's a difference in the ending, right? Is it just the three factions doing their post-war stuff?

Also,
>-107477 AP earned

thanks user

I heard one week AFTER Beagle finishes his campaign.

Section 9 and Nova ghost armor.

Reminder that reapers are overpowered

>I heard one week AFTER Beagle finishes his campaign.
why does it have anything to do with his campaign? makes no sense

Yeah. Just the Skirmishers picking up a patrol of ADVENT, the Reapers going back home, and the Templars investigating a massive fucking PSI-whirlpool in the ocean.

MISCREANTS

I guess Beagle is bug testing.

Resistance fighters are hilarious. Even without their insane aim, they easily neutralize the Assassin just by revealing her.

Fuuuuck my Psiblade Templar rolled Faceoff as an ability and I don't know if I should take it or not.

>remote start warlock to high hell because he squatted on explosive ordnance
>gets explosive immunity next month
Stop that.

ini edits aren't letting me be a dirty cheater, anyone know what's up with that?

FAVORED

WITH

THEIR

BLESSINGS

>run across archon king

what the fuck is this retard shit?

You had any problems with Section 9 compatibility?
I'm loath to download anything without a WotC tag these days.

>saving anything for the chosen room

MAGNIFICENCE

Just some missing textures for two of the female torso options on the gloves. Other than that it looks fine.

Dr. Vahlen was the only thing worse than evil: retarded. And she didn't even die for her mistakes

On a scale from "Fucked" to "FUCKED", how fucked are the rookies I'm sending on this?

...

Is it possible to just let your rookies sit and wait for the lost to fight the sectopod?

>Rookies
very

If you can get to the Grenadiers fast enough you might be able to do it since you'll gain control over them.

You can actually stealth that entire mission

stick to the upper floors and let the Lost kill the Sectopod

Nothing's immune to Banish though

Speaking of the Section 9 mod, TeK is running a poll on to which armor ports to do next (also, Saito and Borma are finished, but instead of releasing them in another 4 pack like the first mod, he'll be releasing them individually in the next few days, hopefully). Cast your votes on which ones you want next. Mae(ven) is Bae.

What fancy loot does the warlock give?

Just an upgraded assault rifle. It's by far the most boring Chosen weapon.

An assault rifle that always crits psionics

You can get Ufo Defense, Terror from the Deep and Apocalypse (+ Iterceptor and Enforcer no one cares about) for 6.95$, user. Abandon the Firaxis.

A shiny plasma rifle with four mods and an ability that rarely gets to trigger.

What do you suppose it is, lads?

Defeat all three Chosen in the final mission along with the Avatars?

Any ideas on resetting XCOM 2 lads? I keep getting "pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)" whenever I try to start up a new game.

>when you move someone and try to tab to the next person but the game won't let you

>Rainmaker blaster launcher + 2 claymores
Why do the aliens even bother existing?

>announce weapons pack a week before the expansion to create hype
>nearly two weeks since launch and it's still not out
>people are now more annoyed than hyped
>clearly in working order because aussie sectoid has it
maek no sense 2 me

Had hoped it would be a unique psi amp or other psi weapon

Try disabling any mods you have on? Verify integrity of game files in Steam, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date, etc.

If worse comes to worse, just delete all the local files and reinstall.

Disruptor is GOAT

I did. Also, I forgot to mention that I deleted some of the save files in the documents folder, assuming they'd work like FNV's save file system. So maybe I should reinstall?

Is this game worth the $24 from humblebundle?

No. It's best to really pick and choose what to upgrade.

Don't use X hero class that often? Skimp out on upgrading their specific equipment. Your specialist doesn't really attack that much? He can survive with a tier lower tech than the rest of the squad. Etc.

...

Whats that sight that compares prices of a game over time and all the sales its been on?

the R.A.G.E. suit's best quality.

If you had any interest in the genre or property, you would already own it. As such, it's better to start with Enemy Within.

Is Nova Ghost Armor not on the workshop?

I've heard of people having this bug before, but no one has any idea what's causing it unfortunately. Might as well try a reinstall.

Thanks for doing your best user. Have this edited image, on me.

scaly diseased looking ass plates?

think i'll pass.

>steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131360448
...ah, I'm just retarded. Thanks.

Can the commanders avatar use it?

Alien Hunter armor designs are truly disgusting. And the wall of corpses. Everything in the DLC is gross.

Unless you mod it, the Avatar always comes with the psionic repeater thing.

My poor hunter. You didn't deserve that roll.

I did it. I killed the assasin for good. SHES DEAD!

I witnessed just how annoying priests can fucking be. Why is it that things in this game become way more dangerous when they decide to shoot their fucking gun? THIS IS WHY I RUN MIND SHIELDS ON EVERYONE. Just in case mind control shenangans happens. It also stops daze apparently.

The priest stasis shit is unreal though. Hate it. At one point in this fight, there were 3-4 priests up just fucking my day. So glad I brought the spark along. Sparks are very handy now. Although, I am bugged that enemies can use them as cover if you take that one talent. Thats horse shit.

The cover effect even decreases the sparks aim if it targets a enemy taking cover on it..

bagel vs THE ELDERS MOST LOYAL CHAMPION now

>Instantly banishes it.
BRAVO FIRAXIS.

>Executes on the first shot of Banish
lmao

I don't care unless he finishes and E3 finally releases the fucking weapon pack

GIVE ME THE TITANFALL WEAPONS YOU FUCK

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but how about a big fuck you to early-game "Recover Resistance Operative" missions. 4 turns of constant reinforcements after already killing 2 pods does not bode well for my Corporals and Squaddies.

>Sarcophagus is going to get 1 turned because of Bluescreen
Who is the motherfucker who keeps making things susceptible to Bluescreen? He can't keep getting away with it.

They're pretty easy IMHO. Even with only 5 lowbies, overwatch can thin the herd a lot when they just drop in. They're not even really touch enemies, either. Just setup on high ground before you send a guy to activate the resistance operative and you're golden.

>fight a Chosen on Commander in the midgame
>spawns an Archon, MEC, and Berserker
>Beagle fights a Chosen on Legend in the lategame
>spawns a Priest and Officer
whoa................. how does he keep doing it............... is there any XCOM player with more skill than beagle?............. this is so fucking thrilling to watch.......................

Defeat all 3 Chosen and all 3 Alien Rulers in the final mission on Legendary Iron Man without losing a soldier the entire run by the end of July with permanent dark events and beta strike enabled.

>shadowstep assassin
WILL YOU JUST FUCK OFF

They don't

Why are you watching a stream of a screaming autistic sectoid that throws a hissy fit when he can't cheese the game to win every mission flawlessly

Don't underestimate priests. Their sustain bullshit can really fuck you, plus mind control becomes an issue when you've acquired so many good items that you really have no place for a flashbang. Like, having a flashbang is justifiable when you're swapping out a normal grenade for emergencies, but when you can to really pick and choose between shit like talon rounds and mimic beacons, it becomes harder to justify.

...

>yfw

i legitimately can't believe you wasted all that time typing that to defend your favorite e-celeb being dull as sin to watch.

it's really a flaw with the game

if you can survive early game with enough troops leveled and with research on track, you just start snowballing

I was with you until July

100% agree. Old Bradford was entirely against taking trophies from dead enemies. Without dropping a line about how he changed it's like pic related.

I actually think I'm going to try to let the Chosen survive until Waterworld.

Anyone else done this or is it just too fucking annoying by endgame?

Hello fellow resistance member. Pleasant weather in this sector today.
