IIRC the only reason Beags removed the ini tweaks he made to make super-hard mode even harder is because his stream chat was whining about the constant wiping, he seemed to be enjoying it dude's nuts in the best possible way

There's only 4 this time, but it goes from "total newbie" to "beaglerush." I've watched Jamball play on Veteran (2nd difficulty) a few times, it looks pretty easy IMO but it's good to have options.

DreamShipWrecked posted:People who have been streamwatching, do they still punish you with lost resources for using explosives? I generally avoid using them (aside from emergencies, like when it spawned nine mutons in a small warehouse that I just opened the door to) so I'm interested if they will be a much bigger deal Only sometimes. Mobs drop "loot" now which is an item you have to physically pick up, and if you grenade the poo poo out of them the loot will not drop. You also shouldn't grenade supply crates in specific missions, but Bradford will very angrily tell you when that is an issue. edit: Yeah not every mob drops loot. You get maybe 1-2 drops per mission.

It's worth it for that moment when he runs out of explosives a pod and a half into a mission and quiet desperation starts seeping into his dulcet tones

Man usually when I get all hyped about a game it's always a letdown. Not this time.VDay posted:I'm not the only one getting weirdly long (like 2 mins+) load times right? At first I figured maybe it's just my lovely laptop but I'm playing off an SSD and loading a save from inside a mission takes like 5 secs. Is there just THAT much stuff that it's doing while it generates a mission/map? I'm playing this on a 4 year old PC and a regular hard drive and my load times are maybe 20-30 seconds.

Peewi posted:Is it just me or is the skeleton suit grapple broken? No rope shoots out and the guy doesn't move. Shooting and movement range work off the position that was grappled to, but all visuals, including enemy fire, have the soldier at the old position. When you move, the soldier instantly teleports to the position they grappled to and are back to normal until the next time they grapple. I was just complaining to a very unsympathetic friend that XCOM 2's beret game was sorely lacking, thank you for this

Hakkesshu posted:Man I shouldn't have delayed that first blacksite mission as much as I did, the avatar counter is 3 from the top right now and I'm like a month away from making contact with another region with a base in it, I think I might be hosed? Don't do the blacksite yet. Let it max out while you beeline toward the new region. Make the new region your top priority. When the doom counter hits max, you'll get 2-3 weeks to continue working toward your base and gearing up in peace. When you're down to ~1 day remaining, do the blacksite you have; it'll bring you off the brink of doom. Save your next blacksite to repeat that process. Edit: here's Beagle's more eloquent explanation http://www.pcgamer.com/xcom-2-guide/

Mordaedil posted:I'm don't get how people can say this with a straight face as my experience with DD is a straight up despair spiral, while XCOM2 has the most gameable doom timer I've ever seen. I mean, unless you don't know about the big reset button. There's no spiraling in DD because there is no doom clock/time pressure. If you lost every single adventurer you own, you could continue playing with four fresh assholes off the stagecoach and go on to beat the game. And you'd still have all your hamlet upgrades.

Because that kinda sounds like a pain to juggle. You don't have to assign dudes to the AWC. The bonus skill just pops up on promotion. Every soldier gets 1, and no more.

Tenzarin posted:Its pretty much random. Pistol Sharpshooters start to shine as you go further down the tree. You get a guaranteed 2 pistol shots per turn baseline; Lightning Hands pumps it to 3 every few turns; you get the shoot everyone in sight skill and the "fire three shots at one dude" skill to round it out. It adds up to a ton of damage. When you get ammo to put on them they get nuts, you're poisoning, burning, or shredding depending what ammo you go with several times per turn. ' I think my pistol sharpshooter has more kills than the rest of my A-team put together.

sighnoceros posted:Thinking of restarting. Just got my first Colonel (Jane Kelly from the tutorial) and she never gained a bonus ability from the AWC. My other highest-ranked guy is a Major sharpshooter, who learned Hail of Bullets, which seems super bad for a sniper that almost always has near 100% chance to hit. Plus my base is built all fucky because I had no idea what to prioritize at the start and the avatar project clock only has 1 pip left, I've already done the black site, and I've only made contact with 1 Alien Facility that I can even assault. It's "Very Difficult". That shouldn't be possible re: Jane, the AWC skill is supposed to be guaranteed afaik. Maybe a bug? A lot of geoscape scans seem like traps. 5 days for 50 supplies is not a good deal. Neither is a Scientist, really. Early game I focus my scan time mainly on things like making contact, engineers, avenger power, and gathering intel for more contacts.
