Oh my god the game keeps replaying the sequence in the final room every time one of my soldiers passes by the statue now. This game is bugged as poo poo.

RBA Starblade posted:Apparently the "25% more experience from kills" project in the GTS is retroactive; I took it and two people were up for promotions that weren't before. I read somewhere that the game doesn't actually track 'experience', just kills (and kill assists). So I can see a dude who has, say, 10 kills get a bump to 12.5 kills after researching that. The project may simply be changing the 'value' of a kill from 1 to 1.25

  Commander Ironman won. I couldnt have done it without you, mind controlled buddy. MLG distraction tactics.  That thing kept like 10+ enemy units busy.

I don't get the idea behind the Chrysalids in the Codex Brain Coordinates mission. They're more of an annoyance than anything, because it seems like the only way to deal with them is just move incredibly slowly, which is effective yet boring and dumb. Am I missing something obvious? I know the Specialist's scanner can see them, but I only get to use that once.

I don't mind having a critical failure-state, I just mind it being binary with the success state. Making Haywire more like Mindspin but for robots seems fairer, tbh. vvvv Yeah. The 4/8/12 guaranteed damage from Combat Protocol is probably a better use of my specialist's turn than the risk of buffing it in case I whiff the stun and I only ever go for the hack if I am 100% sure I can kill it even if everything goes horribly wrong, and then I'm probably just victory-lapping with Psis.

I don't try to hack mecs/sectopods anymore unless I have my full squad ready to attack, or stasis or an emp bomb ready. It's just not worth it.

I usually just take the sure thing stun instead of the total control one, even if it succeeds the fact that it breaks always fucks me over.

I think I hosed my game up. I waited so long to build the Shadow Chamber that I have maxed out 7 soldiers and have no research to do anymore other than Shadow Chamber poo poo and I'm effortlessly rolling over most fights. I just did the Defence mission and it was a huge joke. Did anyone else do this?

Beaglerush, when are you going to finish the Live and Impossible Long War series? Don't leave me hanging.  I think I have more fun watching this game being played than actually playing it.

chaos rhames posted:You should read the first half and burn it once you read the word Sumeria. Actually you should read the whole thing because Neal Stephenson going off on tangents about ancient memetic linguistic STIs is wacky and great, and the ending is also great and pretty cool. Also, how often have people been promoting random soldiers into Character Pool members? My pool's 50/50 created and randoms who proved themselves true heroes of the revolution.

I forgot you could even do that. I totally should for later, though with 100 devs/goons/other I don't know how likely it is to see them again. I just bought a colonel ranger so I have a second in case I need it. I made her a pure blademaster. I've never used it, how good is Reaper in reality? It sounds pretty sweet but I don't know how huge the aim penalty gets.

 I agree.  That is definitely what line of sight means.  How loving hard can ray traces in unreal 4 be (she got "flanked" and shot clean through the floor by the guy on the right, also this group of enemies alerted when they saw clean through a closed door)

NmareBfly posted:Is the radio tower bonus that should complete ammo / grenades instantly bugged as heck? I've had two games now where it just doesn't seem to have done anything. Maybe something to do with getting it before I actually built a proving ground? Quoting from several pages ago, but this definitely works in my current game and I'm pretty sure I got the bonus before constructing a proving ground.

Tenzarin posted:Finally finished my legend super save scum playthrough. I think I actually beat it without reloading, although I wasn't paying close attention. Definitely didn't reload in the last room. It's just a different kind of mission than the rest of the game; you have to bring more powers that aren't limited in use. I think the only thing I would have done differently is spec one of my gunners with saturation fire, but since it's bugged I haven't been taking it. When serial was on cooldown for my sniper it was getting a little hairy with low health low threat trash and saturation fire could have cleaned some of that up. I had a pet andromedon that about started the level with me lasted the whole way through, which helped.

The insta-complete thing is sometimes bugged. In my last game I got the bonus and the currently researching project finished immediately. Then I queued another, and that took the normal 5 day waiting time. Then a bit later when I got another core, I selected another and that finished instantly again...

I got armed to the teeth, suit up, future combat, +25% intel gains, and -50% proving grounds costs. I didn't get suit up/proving ground costs before buying everything I need.

Oh man I dig up the definitions for the Faceless aoe claw weapon. I could totally put this on a xcom melee weapon. Something like a two handed sword, battleaxe or warhammer.  Should it get a panic effect or disorient? Hmmm. Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 7, 2016 |
