At least this will lead more people to find out about the wonderful world of putting Aim bonuses on your Grenadier and letting that Minigun sing.

That might not happen because of civ 6, which is probably releasing way too early after XCOM 2 not to affect its quality

The difference is that you think they're going to release an Enemy Within expansion at all, instead of just milking people with this season pass crap. I mean, I hope they do.

They're either doing an expansion or already working on XCOM 3. Either of which I'd be AOK with. I'm dumb in that I like season passes as it gives me a reason to go back to a game a month or two down the lane.

Yeah, considering how limited grenades are its loving bizarre they didn't touch any psi-powers at all. Like, I run out of grenades in a mission. I never run out of ways to have my psi-ops kill everything. At least more people will learn how great Gunner Grenadiers are I guess (because they're super good).

Rulers are rough, but not insurmountable. I think it helps they don't get actions on the enemy phase, so unless you're ending your turn with a ton of non-actions they never get more than 1 action point to play with at a time. Also their ability doesn't proc on abilities like Lightning Hands that are free to activate. And they just don't do much raw damage. One showed up in my campaign and actually forced me out of time for the first time... ever. I actually had a soldier get captured which I haven't in 3 other runs of the game. I like them.

Got to do 1 mission (council escort) after getting the dlc weapons. They're kinda neat, bolt caster is a really good weapon vs. the normal rifle just as long as your soldier can fit in the reloads. I put it on my specialist. The axes let rangers be even more insane murder spree machines, so sure (the one-time throw seems to have a very hefty accuracy bonus and is free to use). Grenade and pistol seem straightforward enough but I didn't get to use either. I do think gunslinger sharpshooters don't have much reason to actually take the lead with pistols until much higher ranks so it might be the tool they need to be better earlier on.

I haven't played this game since release, have they fixed how janky it was, and is there a way to speed up animations at all ye?, I got real tired of a lot of the waiting involved every mission. By janky I just meed the animation screw ups that happened all the time, the odd performance issues and the being shot through walls fairly often thing (I assume this happened to more people than me).

I found out you can upgrade the weapons to higher tier varieties as well once I researched Mag Weapons. Its a pretty hefty upfront (45 supply for just the pistol vs. 60 for all Mag Pistols and 60 v. 75 for the Rifle). Not sure the Rifle is going to be worth always upgrading, but an always hit top tier pistol shot 1/mission would be worth upgrading the pistol for alone. Especially since it also tacks on concealment.

Is it me or they fixed Sectoids? They shoot you if you get flanked instead of uselessly using psi.

They put in zip mode which speeds up a lot of the animations but you still have to hit capslock when the skyranger is loading up the avenger while returning from missions.

He means when you press the Slash button instead of right-clicking, it now shows you tiles the Ranger could slash from instead of just limiting you to the spot it randomly picks. Hopefully it does the same for skulljacks, that's the one thing that kept me from using those things as much as I would've liked.
