/xcg/ - XCOM General

the only instance of that I can think of is warlock's psi zombie being a free move, which isn't hard to deal with by comparison of the other two.
I think it would be fair, because as it is his shots will usually kill/down your guys until you get predator armor.

God this shit gets me every time, and I can't explain it. Just seeing someone so buttblasted that they're in complete meltdown and can't even think to communicate properly. However, it's not a pure 'point at him and laugh' kind of humor. It fucks my sides up because you know exactly how they feel. That mix of empathy and schadefreude is perfect.

It feels like there's a dearth of AI mods in general, did ABA really monopolize it that fast?

seriously why the FUCK is it crashing the second it boots up any terror mission there is nothing in my mods that would affect this

I started my third campaign and I never had any crash so far, except because of a mod.
The problem comes from you. Wotc is more stable than the base game.

I know. I love seeing people lose their shit. We haven't had any good rants here in a long time. Boreposter was too low-energy to really amuse me.

Are Chosen's strengths and weakness determined at the beginning of the campaign or when they first spawn in?

I might have to reroll because both my Assassin and Hunter have more immunities than a fucking Steel type pokemon.

Hunter usually just stays in the corner of the map and snipes so I just do my thing and leave, will I get wrecked down the line for not "hunting" him down?

You get 5 AP for killing him and get to hear him complain

Their initial abilities and weaknesses are determined at the beginning of the game.

Are calendars still welcome?

What the FUCK is that and why did you post it here? I don't know why but the look of that human really activates a latent psychotic rage I didn't know I had.

Boreposter was posting ironically

Lol that's me

Is four good soliders of each class a good number to shoot for?
Also which dark even it worst, the one that makes the chosen show up more, the one where they share info, or the one that brings in greater will losses?

of course

...

I go for 8 of each but normally end up with 10-12 of each by the end of the game

Ah. Any advice on the dark events to counter? Might just go for the one that gets me the best reward otherwise.

Here we go

Do you buy recruits? One of the things I noticed is that unless I squad wipe for whatever reason, it's very rare I need to buy new recruits in WotC. You get so many rookies and soldiers from missions and events, that it's literally never a problem.

Latest legendary campaign I'm in June and by now I had 2 different rookie events proc, 3 rookies each, and then the resistance contact extraction for a high ranked soldier, and only lost 2 soldiers so far. Only time I bought a rookie since WotC dropped was when a favourite from the character pool ended up in there.

Whichever ones will fuck you over the worst should be the ones you counter, unless you're certain they won't be too much of a hassle and/or have something good like an Engineer or Scientist.

So out of chosen sharing information, chosen appearing more often, and greater will loss im thinking its the chosen sharing information one.

>people talking about differences between EU and 2
>nobody bringing up how Overwatch can be wasted in EU but is 100% reliable in 2

>Do you buy recruits?
I increased the base amount of troops I start with to 30 because I play with scanning sites. I end up buying a couple of recruits to even out numbers but most ones past the early game I get from faction missions. I end up with huge rosters with tons of management but I like that ever since I played LW1

Greater will loss is the worst out of that list honestly, sharing info is really only a problem if you can't counter their events.

That's because Overwatch is still stronger in X1, if you know what I mean.

How so?

You can engage nearly every enemy pod in the map on X1 with an overwatch salvo (potentially). No time limits, so you can just inch around the map abusing it as much as possible.
In a vacuum overwatch in X2 is stronger.

Source? (Is it just me or has google image search gone way downhill?)

And what are you asking for a port for? I don't recognize the character.

I somehow managed to control-hack the very first Sectopod I ran into on my current run out of sheer luck. Unfortunately, it made 0 difference since the mission was a total wipe because of how the patrols were pathing The Sectopod's pod was stacked on top of I think 2 other ADVENT pods all moving together with a Heavy MEC, three Elite Shieldbearers, three Elite Lancers, a few troopers and a captain. Coming in from the other side was another pair of pods moving together with an Andromedon and something like 4 more ADVENT. Ontop of all of 'em, reinforcements dropped on the roof in front of my squad with 1 turn left to disable the relay. 2 Rangers, 3 Specialists, 1 Gunslinger sniper, since all my good troops were healing

Yo shit
I got bladestorm as the bonus ability on my Templar, how good is that?

You won the campaign.

100% to hit

THE CLASSIC
The tried and true ADVENT burger! Juicy meat, fresh vegetables, and our special sauce. Your choice of three different cheeses.

THE SPEAKER'S FAVORITE
A critical hit! A thin patty on rye bread, with extra onions, a smoky glaze and jalapeños.

THE ELDER SPECIAL
Two double-thick patties on our signature fluffy buns, with three layers of molten cheese, bacon and fresh veggies. You'll need four hands to hold this burger!

...

I want supply raid missions where you rob ADVENT burgers at gunpoint.

I am 90% sure that is fanart of Bondrewd from Made in Abyss (manga)

It's a shame they don't have unique cutscenes for failing the chosen avenger defense missions. Would have been interesting to see how the world changes after each of them take over and a hint at how they get screwed when the Void arrives.

>Just tried to play vanilla XCOM 2 again
I can't I. I just fucking can't.
Even with most of my favorite mods back; vanilla is still a horribly optimized piece of shit and I don't even have the patience to deal with missions in vanilla.

I'll take one Elder Special with fries and that amazing green energy drink.

The new shaders in WotC sold me on it forever.

...

Do we have any comparison pics?

For Network Tower Assault, will the three soldiers I send be available for the final mission?

As long as they're not dead, yeah.

COMMANDER

alright cool

This is the best I can find in my screenshots.

Here's vanilla

And here's WotC. It's very subtle but it looks better imo.

which mod

jesus christ

>Snek posting?
Snek posting time

Pray paltry humans, pray to the robotic messiah for deliverance!

KILL ALL AYYS

Not really the same lighting but here's another one.

Vanilla

I really wanna know

WotC.

Check the OP.

...

I have this amazing piece of advice, read the OP.

It's almost like this EXACT question is enshrined there.

>balance of a grenade
kek that works for a rifle or sword but not a container of RDX

I think the mod creator is looking for somebody to draw new images and come up with descriptions for the breakthroughs

i-is it one of the loverslab ones? I don't have an account

Then make one?

Thread is not Useful enough.

It needs more Pistol.

...

I'm no explosives expert but they could hand wave it as "Improved timing/mix have been implemented to ensure there are no 'drop spots' in radial pressure wave."

...

...

I shall

He wanted sneks, I posted a snek.

Hair isn't floofy enough to be Mark.

...

I'll post my snek in your mouth

If Advent burgers are people. What are Advent juniors?

>Grimy's loot mod WOTC

Aww yeah.

...

>Grimmy loot mod
>With Reapers
>With Banish
>With the skill that make you retarge when you kill a enemy
How much damage could be done?

I graciously accept my ban fair the well my fellow shitposters

damn it wrong one

>not even a snek blowjob
You suck at this.

You already posted this a few minutes ago, stop spamming.

Standard damage until someone tells me how to add their weapons to the lootboxes

eat shit ayy lovers

He posted it

Mod that takes the sword weapon attachments and applies them to shard gauntlets while not using the rest of the mod what?

>Not wanting the rest of the mod
>Not wanting to find super rare shard gauntlets that cut through everything like butter

Is it a meme that makes xcom even more op or is it actually balanced?

It's pure meme. Add difficulty mods.
>Hunter's rifle that regenerates ammo

It's alright at the beginning of the game but it breaks the game in half in the late game.

No thanks, I finally managed to stop using the mod thanks the WotC and I don't plan to use it again because it's horribly balanced. I only want sword attachments for the gauntlets because they lack weapon mods for some reason.

That's, ah. That's pretty good.
