How do you melee Sectopods, or that's a LW thing?

Segmentation Fault posted:That's stupid. If that's the case there's no reason to not start in North America. From what I know, the idea is that selecting a starting continent will give you a unique bonus you cannot get any other way and getting all the countries will give you a different bonus.

The best part if you find something way too hard or annoying you can tweak the ini file to change it.

NeoSeeker posted:Would the current build be the one with all the nice changes or would it be better just to wait? Well Beagle said that the B15 changes will be buggy with B14 saves, mostly because the big change is that it remakes the whole starting continent system, so you choose countries instead.

I'm just not patient enough to wait out all those Chrysalids to wake up, and I'm always afraid I gently caress up somewhere and one gets past. Newfoundland is still easy to do, first just kill every enemy on the map, make sure you don't get inside the ship. Then send your fastest unit to the top, look at the whale from there and head to the bridge, meanwhile the rest should stand guard around the docks, halfway to the extraction point. For me the newly spawned lids got confused and never actually left the ship, or when they did I was far away, the only problem will be the two that spawns outside.

Make sure you edit the config files of EW not EU. And you may or may not need to start a new game, not sure.

Vib Rib posted:I wish you could set those stats individually. +15% to air war makes it actually (mostly) tolerable, but +15% to all troops means you'll be getting a lot of guaranteed hits. By the end of the game, with decent aim and items, most shots you take will be practically a sure thing. You say that like that's a bad thing, especially with some of the increased defence some enemies get

So I looked up the B15 changes and I saw that the Phoenix Cannon will make a return as a weaker version of the laser cannon and later you can improve it to the Coilgun we currently have. Is this a good enough reason not to rush advanced lasers anymore?

NSLW will be redone in B15 so if you want to play that, might as well wait it out.trucutru posted:That why you mess with the .ini. I downloaded that big set of modifications that has been posted here a few times and now the airgame is mostly fair. I still have a shitload of damaged planes but at least I can down a medium UFO (with laser cannons) without having to send my whole fleet. problem is, the air game is not really customisable, you can reduce repair and re-arm times though.

Fuzz posted:As a bonus, the UPK patching program can install and then uninstall the mod, so you can put it in when you research Advanced Aerospace or specifically the satellite aiming bonus, just to pretend it's given to you as a research project. Honestly, I kinda wish the Long War guys would implement it that way, that would be rad as hell. They will in B15

legoman727 posted:Yeah there's kind of a glitch with B14 where if your MEC dies, the suit (but nothing equipped to it) goes. It's fixed in B15, but. welp. It's a bug? I know vanilla Suit repair is not in, but there will be repair options in B15 with its own GUI and everything. In fact, I've read the JL is thinking about expanding the concept on other, non-MEC items too.

So I mentioned JL is working on a new repair system, well it will be on B15 now:quote:- Reinstituted MEC repair and added repair of regular soldier items. Many items can now be damaged during (technically, after) combat and will have an increasing chance of needing repair following combat based on how many 'true' (non-armor) hp a soldier has lost. (Items will always function for the duration of a battle.) Armor, weapons, and small items that aren't infinite or fundamentally consumable (like grenades and ammo) are in the mix, although the chances they'll need repair is capped even if a soldier is killed varying on how likely something is to get damaged (armor=higher chances; pistol=lower chances, etc). Cybernetics Lab is now called "Repair Bay," is much cheaper, and may be built from campaign start. Cost to repair an item is initially set of 20% cash, meld, alloy and elerium cost, and a formula for time to repair is also in place that starts with a baseline of 60% of build time but goes down as you develop Advanced Repair and add engineers to your staff (minimum is 72 hours). The following items are ini-adjustable: repair time% of baseline build time, resource cost as% of baseline resource cost, and you can turn off repair requirements entirely with one variable. Removed Second Wave option "More than Human" and replaced with Wear and Tear, which gives a chance that items will be damaged on missions and require repairs even when a soldier isn't hurt. The chance is initially set at 20% per item, and this value is ini-moddable. Many item costs are being adjusted downward to make up for reduced utility when they are in the shop.

trucutru posted:Yes! Van Doorn is finally out of the hospital! Time to kick some... gently caress! His autolaser and caparace are still in the armor shop! That'll teach me to get randomly hit by aliens. I don't know but for me it would be pretty hard to forget repairing all those things during the whole month PVD is in the hospital.

Bigger problem in those missions is that there are only two options to disable their weapons, and the reinforcements come right after, while you can permanently disable them in the other missions.

There you go, the big reveal, a screenshot of B15 country select screen. (and now I know what Kiryu-Kai Commander does) Seriously though, not sure why you guys expected something special, this is just an opportunity to advertise the game and get more sales on the next Steam sale. Hopeford posted:I can post a link to it once I'm done, but the sound won't run properly without using the dev console until B15(or whenever the Long War people finish the voice function, they are the ones doing the hard work, I'm just a dumbass following along the wikia). How hard is it to do these, I was thinking about doing one.

Funny you should mention scouts, here's the current scout tree:quote:Lightning Reflexes What is Concealment you ask? Well... quote:* Psi Shadow perk renamed "Concealment" and removed from Psi Tree. Now a MSGT perk on Scout tree. Hacking an Exalt array and capturing meld now reveals hidden soldiers.

Ravenfood posted:Both of these are great, too, though I can't tell if Concealment is the old Psi Shadow AND the "reveal hidden soldiers" thing or if the "reveal hidden" is a native property of scouts. I think it means that if you get meld/hack exalt while cloaked, you get de-cloaked.

I don't think it does, but you can change those by hand in the ini file. E: Actually I remember certain things working differently in NSLW, not sure how those will be changed.

Just so you know RnG Chrysalids, alien research base missions, Xcom melee attacks and I don't know what else future things you could read on reddit ages ago will not be in B15. As for it not being tested, well we did not just see one guy testing it before thousands of people....

fargom posted:Does B15 include a reduction in hospital/interceptor repair time or did I misread that somewhere? For some reason I'm thinking each one is getting reduced by 33% or so? I just read trough the current changelog and I don't remember seeing anything like that. There are however country bonuses that can do these.

legoman727 posted:Nah, I've had scanners on Seekers before, and they do make a noise announcing themselves sometimes, like the sectoid barking and the thin men whispers. It may be the same noise as drones though, as they were kinda lazy in reusing the same sound for Mectoids and Sectopods. Yes, they give out noise then but not while they are in the fog.
