So is the leader mod worth it? Seems like it adds that extra gameplay strategy but I don't know if the game is balanced around that.

I am also curious about this.


If someone who is in game can post a pic of the leader skill tree before I start playing tonight, I will be forever in your debt.

For all the people with GMG issues, you will have two keys in the email

1. This one is the preorder and should be done -second-
2. THIS one is the actual game and need to be put in first.

There are a lot of people having issues with it, oddly

Yeah I couldn't get it to work until i tied each one separate. It is both way too vague and out of order.

so restart 'puter -> shut Steam down if you have it launching with Windows -> Turn on VPN -> run Steam.

This worked perfectly. Thanks.

OK Mr. Solomon, Veteran it is then.

F-Secure's Freedome VPN worked wonderfully, but Steam's unpacking time keeps changing between 20 to 50 minutes. Guess I'll just go for a jog and hope it's done when I'm back.

I'm gonna do this but not till tomorrow because I made poor life choices and cannot play the game till then.

Should we just make this Dropbox the one for all goons or did someone already do that?

Is anyone having major issues with frame rate? The game is constantly stuttering. Which to me makes no sense since i was playing the new Tomb Raider with nearly maxed settings this morning.

Specs:

Nvidia 970 G1
16 GB Ram
Intel i5 3570k
SSD

Is there some settings that is causing it? I played with the settings and none of the settings seemed to make much of a difference.

Hint for those suddenly teleporting to Australia: if you're having difficulties with Steam recognizing your new location and refusing to decrypt, you might be logged in to steam on other devices/PCs. If you can't reach them handily, you can turn them off remotely by deauthorizing them on your steam account page.

I love how, even though it's a nonsense alien language heavily distorted, ADVENT trooper's shouts to each other vaguely make sense due to the emotions evoked in them. It's better than the nonsense radio squawk EXALT used.

The reason vipers aren't as bad as thin men is because they don't fall out of the sky in ridiculous numbers. Council missions in the second month of impossible are brutal. In the first month you might as well just ignore them because everyone being sent on it is gonna end up as a corpse.

Maybe we should get like an open goon dropbox for everyone to dump people in?

As someone who only just got around to playing EU/EW a few months ago, for all the "That's XCOM" I've gotta say that "oh by the way we didn't mention it but sometimes the map will just rain Thin Men out of the loving sky for no reason" is some legit bullshit, not even in a fun challenge sense but just in the sense of a curveball the game throws at you that, at least on your first outing, you have no reason to be prepared for. Challenges are fine, challenges can still be hard but fair, but there's a reason that a lot of good game design is bound up in preparing a player for a challenge and then testing them instead of randomly and arbitrarily kicking the player in the dick.
