ayo hol up

>Game now crashes if MSI Afterburner is active when launched, even though it didn't before.

Just WHY?

Lets try this again.
>mission in siberia tundra
>aww yis, I've been waiting for this

One mission, I actively put gas masks on all my soldiers for a lost horde and then replaced their normal props after the mission end. Truly my finest 5 minutes.

cool robot

Isn't that tedious? Or does the uniform manager work with WOTC now?

We really need uniform manager.

Assassin is best Chosen.

If she is the best, where are her memes?

>forgetting about "bitch deployed" already

It was a terrible meme though, about as bad as "Snore of le Chozo."

I disagree

Can she even grapple like a man-like spider.

Assassin or Hunter never crossed into the physical world to crash games or power grids

>implying bore of the chosen isn't fucking hilarious

>Assassin is boring Chosen.

Ftfy.

Kind of related, but it annoys me how people want the Warlock/Hunter to function like the Assassin, in that they come for you from the start and don't wait for you to engage.

Assassin is strong but not in every area. It's preferable for example to get the Assassin on the Golden Path missions and other longer missions because you can take care of her immediately while you're fresh and then don't have to worry about it. Warlock spamming zombies non-stop over 30 turns though is the worst shit ever.

False

t. boreposter

>t. boreposter
I find it ironically funny

it's stale as fuck

I want him to kidnap me

Maybe, but the best part it has poisoned the well for WotC criticism.

>Poisoning being able to rationally discuss something is a good thing
Yeah man I sure love being accused of being a boreposter whenever I wanted to mention something I think was done poorly in WotC

One of my more memorable encounters with the Warlock was on a retaliation mission. Between him and my squad was a minefield of Chryssalids. Having to make my way to him while avoiding the 'lids and his exploding zombies was a fun time.

Then the fight itself happens and he goes down quickly because weak to explosives.

I think it's funny. We already know the problems with the game.

Templar is the best faction.

why do you fucks continue to waste trips on the worst posts?

>I wanted to mention something I think was done poorly in WotC

I don't think anyone will actually accuse you of being a boreposter unless you use bore memes in your post despite what that user says. What's this "something"?

>implying I pick my post number
this post will end in a 7

nice roll, faggot

What are your modding hopes and dreams, /xgc/?

For me it's:
>2012 Ethereals
>Civilization-style hex strategy layer (I can go into more detail if anyone is curious)
>More factions

>EU Cyberdisks
>skirts Motoko pack pretty much does this, though
>lamia soldiers
>head accessories like elf ears and horns why is there no MGSV horn mod yet?

I swear you guys need to learn how to search
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771321185&searchtext=horn

Besides the obvious stuff like WotC updates of a couple old mods and weebshit ports,

>machine guns as a cosmetic alternative to the cannons. Not shit ported from other games but new guns that look like they belong alongside the vanilla weapons
>more Titanfall ports
>pyrokineses, either as psi-ops abilities or its own class
>proper rocket launchers

Faces in the actual face menu that aren't limited to specific armour sets
More updates to the weapons pack (specifically the China Lake and M21)
Everything from EU/EW that isn't already ported
The rest of the Valkyria Chronicles uniforms and the weapons too

>Civilization-style hex strategy layer (I can go into more detail if anyone is curious)

This sounds like a terrible idea. And I'm a Civbabby.

>F A C E S
Especially for black and asian women. Nothing in there looks good in vanilla, and all other face mods only add caucasian faces.

VC weapons would be really nice to have

>shields
An user was working on something like that, whatever happened?

>More bosses
Once I killed all the chosen and rulers, there kind of was not much left to look forward to.

More R6 Siege ports.

>Install weapon pack
>Performance goes to absolute shit

fuggg

Well like the other user said most of it is stuff known and accepted by now. Its just that at the time a few people borememed the criticisms.
My personal issues with WotC are:
>I get they were going for that 80-90s sci-fi/action cheesiness but theres such a thing as too much cheese and cliches. I didn't play Lost and Abandoned more than once not because it was heavily scripted but because I couldn't take the dialogue again
>Vanilla Hunter is borderline retarded and a non-threat
>SPARKs advantages over a standard soldier STILL aren't enough to make them worth using over a Heavy Armor Grenadier, which is available at about the same time you're going to make a SPARK
>Chosen Base Assaults allow you to fight on your own terms so much they're a non-issue
>AI trees of the new enemies make them almost as bad as base X2 Sectoids
>Purifiers are worse for ADVENT than they are for you
>Even if you let the Lost reach you you're probably not going to lose anyone because they do next to no damage
>AVATAR Project is a complete joke now due to Sabotage missions
>Late Game is more skewed in XCOM favor than ever before due to both Factions Units, the AP system, and Chosen Weapons
>Still no additional late game versions of early/mid aliens to balance things out more
>Covert Op ambushes are hilariously easy despite being played up as dangerous
>The Chosen only being able to put your soldiers in bleed out I think is a bad design choice for the Hunter and Warlock, it makes sense for the Assassin because early on you typically can't prevent her from hitting you until you get Battle Scanners
>Obvious bugs that have been mentioned plenty
But with all that bitching and moaning of mine I still think what WotC adds and does right far outweighs my issues with it.

New Chosen and a custom resistance faction.

I'm pretty sure people only play Lost and Abandoned to get best boy and best girl.

Just put them in the character pool

>he doesn't want to hear the bantz

>page 9

Going into Overwatch.

Is that J-Roc in the background ?

We must beat them at their own game.

Left looks cool. Right looks horrible!

>Lose a CPL Medic on a Terror Mission because I was forced to take a very unoptimal squad due to Fatigue and whats going on this month
>First thing I do is callously write the KIA off as unimportant because we don't actually need high level Medics until we get to Psionics
Am I becoming desensitized?

Morally yes, but you're right to not be concerned about it in a strategic sense.
Like you said, Medic deaths are the absolute lowest impact KIAs until later in the game.

Indeed. I have been having great difficulty trying to make that ridiculous wobbly hat work with anything, especially with the inability to change it's colour.

Its just a list of names dont worry about it

>tfw one of my guys has been oneshot and gone into bleedout in the last two missions he's been on

>CPL Assault gets unlucky crit through half cover, sent into bleed out
>Save him by ending mission, 37 day wound
>Comes off wound
>Immediately put him on a mission as hes now fallen behind in XP
>Crit through FULL cover this on the first alien turn of the mission, sent into bleedout
Hes currently still sitting in the medbay. Sometimes its less stressful to have someone die outright than to watch them go to the brink of death twice.

...

>lost my top ranger and two other useful soldiers in a squad wipe
>take a memorial picture of said ranger
>tygan asks to pose next to a burger menu
Show some respect you damned menace.

>;HackRewardNames=LootAbilityPoints

Huh

I wonder how difficult it would be to mod in a boolean check to disable those commentaries when you click the "Memorialize" button.

>Positive traits work on a bit of a hidden system: they can only be gained from a soldier naturally recovering from traits. This requires the Infirmary to be built, but not using the "remove all negative traits" functionality of it. Instead, affected soldiers must go on enough "perfect" missions (missions that they don't get injured on) in order to recover from the negative trait. They will then roll for their positive trait replacement.

That's a tad convoluted

Mod to have Viper nurse in my infirmary taking care of my soldiers when?

Oooh, you save it! It's adorable!
And I don't understand a reason for deleting my post - the nips was censored.

[Bleeding out]

When will /xgc/ finally admit bore of the Chosen is shit?

I can't upgrade to Holo Planner or Elerium Conduit.
What gives?

Can you actually afford them?

That robet better be called Edelweiss.

Order of priority when it comes to classes and combat intelligence?

Ranger is fucking broken in this game.
I don't see why you can't just run 6 rangers.

Ready for your checkup?

*blocks your path*

Is that Todd Howard?

More vc weapons and uniforms is my dream too.
Just image some of the dress uniforms, or the imperial soldier outfits.
Or those classicly styled ww2-ish firearms.
Or all of Varrot's uniforms.

A man has a right to dream.

I only trust medicine men wearing a specific set of colours.

[revival protocol]

Second half's done:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1167004347

That's just a resource to add a new faction. The actual act of creating one will be a lot more work.

Which has already been done for the Spectres...

yeah but I wish someone made an actual good faction
not something from shit effect

sometimes i get scared of aliens

How can we ever be friends when you keep running away.

Berserkers and lids would freak me out

Gunners and rangers get the most mileage imo.

>Ranger is fucking broken in this game.

Why haven't you played beta meme?

Because it's a meme

lets see who is available

oy vey

go pro be a hero

You've got this, I believe in you.
