I ended up giving up on my long war playthrough yesterday, I was regularly running into missions where there would be 4-5 pods with at least two of them being 4-6 muton elites at 30+ health and I just got bored with it. Also mecs are tremendously lovely in long war to the point of not being worth using.

How are the aliens justifying terror missions now? Are they saying they're "sympathizers" or what Is it a false flag thing?

Zore posted:There are two plot skulljackings. To just slam into regular Advent you need to research Skullmining at the proving grounds. It'll pop up as another icon and also give the skull jack +25 tech power. Ohh, okay. That's really weird that they don't mention it, I thought I could just do it from the get go. Or if they do I just missed it. CharlieFoxtrot posted:gently caress, I am now having problems with a showstopping bug, every time I enter a mission the game crashes. The geoscape is fine. I have restarted and validated the game files. I'm having a lot of fun with the game but I'm tired of constantly having to deal with los issues / buggy poo poo so I'm shelving the game for a couple days until we get a patch.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I really think they should have put the 4/6-man thing to bed for XCOM2. It had a handwavy reason for existing because of console versions in the first game, but all you have to do for XCOM2 is point at the Avenger Defense missions to show it's perfectly feasible for the game to handle double that. It would slow the game down too much. See: long war for an example, even though I love that mod. Nordick posted:So I only just now noticed that a soldier's attitude customization setting also affects the lines they speak. I switched Jane Kelly to "Twitchy" and in the next battle I heard a couple kinda nervous sounding lines I haven't heard before. And now that I think about it, my other soldiers' lines also fit their attitudes. I'm a big fan of the one that makes them sound tired of this poo poo, my main specialist has it and I love it.

I wonder if we're going to see a patch this weekend...Fintilgin posted:Realistically ( ) I think you would see nations at least trying to reemerge. 20 years isn't really that long. Like, if your high school graduation was the day the aliens invaded, they'd be overthrown before you were 40. That's not long enough to erase centuries or longer of the idea of, say, French or Japanese national identity. I mean, there would be a dozen different factions claiming to be the REAL United States, and it would be a huge nightmare of warlords and chaos, but.... I feel this would be more likely if the aliens hadn't 100% purged all governments when they came in. It's probably a city-state situation as of now, especially with the lost everywhere outside of the cities.

Why didn't we just wipe out the chrysalids, there's zero reason to let them keep existing. It's like if the Nazis made giant poisonous dogs that mate by exploding and we let them live.

Since i'm in an xcom mood and I can't play chimera squad due to the constant crashing I reinstalled WOTC the first mission post tutorial I got a reinforcement pod of two stun lancers and a priest only one person died from that, at least?

BobTheJanitor posted:I'd say that's up in the air, but it's a reasonable assumption. Volk was pragmatic enough to give the alliance a chance, but he could easily have gone right back to hating them afterwards. But I'd assume there'd be at least some of the faction who followed along with Dragunova and stayed friendly with the Skirmishers, after the awkward forced cutscenes where she and Mox go from being ready to chop each other up to being best buds within 5 minutes. I mean if that's canon Dragunova personally helping to bust Mox out after he saved her probably did an enormous amount of work w/r/t repairing relations between the factions Night10194 posted:We all know what the perfect X-COPs DLC would be, though.

I'm almost done with the game and it's pretty fun but I have some issues, mainly with how few healing options you have available (you either carry a medkit or your team has terminal permanently affixed), how the game really should reward you more for captures, and how the strategic layer seems pretty weak, especially once you hit the endgame and you're basically just bouncing cooldowns. E: like the enemies in this game do an insane amount of damage, most of them will do 5-7 damage per shot. Grapplejack fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jun 3, 2020 |
