The expansion looks to be about everything everyone was asking for, expect for an explicit teleporting fix. Your playthroughs will be pretty different because it seems like you cant go whole hog into mech and bio at the same time.

Fighting enemy humans will make up for only adding a few new aliens I guess.

Not only did he punch a sectoid into a tractor which then exploded, the flamethrower went through cover.

The one dev specifically mentioned they addressed the "too many exploding cars" problem in that one interview.

I wonder if only grievously wounded soldiers can be turned into mecs.

The Race to the Meld is going to cause so much heartache and gnashings of teeth. What a beautiful mechanic they threw in. I'm already getting anxiety about plunging into the fog of war.

That's why I was hoping only grievously wounded soldiers could become mechs.

I mean the choice of a short life-time as a wounded near corpse in incredible pain vs mechanized demigodhood sounds somewhat more moral than just chopping off the arms and legs of a perfectly healthy woman.

The Midniter posted:Have they said which missions would provide Meld? Is it abduction-only? I mean currently some limited resources like Elerium and weapon fragments can be stockpiled eventually (specifically in the late game) if you continue to do random missions without progressing the plot. I hope Meld is like that so I can eventually create a team of maxed out mutant mech mercenaries with which to gently caress the final mission up with impunity. They said every map has been redone to include meld. Doobie Keebler posted:I got to the part of the video where the sectoid gets rocket-punched into the truck and decided that I can't wait for EW, even a preorder. I put $40 in an envelope and mailed it to Firaxis. Before I was optimistic but what I'm seeing is pretty great. Even the small changes to flanking and cover sound good. That was the best part euphronius fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Aug 21, 2013 |

dud root posted:Cant wait to see the cutscene where an assembly arm picks up her head + exposed spine and plonks it in the mech. They are redoing the old maps, so there may not be a need to filter them out.

Ananda seemed pretty on the ball in the video, but that could just be marketing speak. It's hard for developers to judge difficulty anyway in my experience.

Was playing tired last night and mis clicked a colonel heavy into a flanked no cover position surrounded by 4 mutons. That was unfortunate.

Just rolled through Alien Base on C I with full plasma and Titan armor. Feels good. My heavy heat ammo crit a disc on a reaction shot. That was awesome. I love the bug where loving mutons on their first move nuke your dudes in no cover or half cover.

If it weren't for panic and slight bugs, you could play the whole game without getting hit.

In the TMA podcast Gupta said the genetic upgrades are available to everyone and that the Mech warrior is its own class, like sniper or whatever. Also the mech warrior advances up her skill tree and at the same time you also advance the tech of the suit. At least that is what he said on the podcast.

If you don't want to pay that much just wait 3 months for the Winter Sale. The game will probably be patched up by then too.

If you want them to be shooty, then a high level sniper only. If you want them to be punchy, I don't think it matters much beyond flavor of the buff you like.
