I'm currently messing around with the mod tools to create something akin to the Second Wave options of Not Created Equally and Hidden Potential. I'm far from finishing the game and was wondering if it would even make sense in XCom 2 to invest in a lot of rookies and dump the underperformers to finally get a soldier with 15-20% better stats than average at max level. Good idea ? Bad idea ?? I think the old Not Created Equally option had an aim stat range of 55-75 instead of the standard 65. Biggest problem I have is that there is no way to have fresh recruits immediately roll their aim stat, the way it was in Second Wave. Cause of the way the configs work I would have to add the extra stats either into the first promotion to squaddie (not sure yet if this works in combination with the regular stat progress), or I add a global modifier with a chance of 0-3 points per level (7 levels which in a best case scenario net you 21 points) but then I would have to lower the starting aim to 54 which would make the earlier levels even harder (=not fun). All I wanted was some stat variety

Games crashed twice already during stage transitions wtf My Kelly has the nickname "Wolverine" I dont know if its because she's always slashing poo poo up or because she always gets hosed up in the end and needs to be patched up so she doesn't die in the mission.

Does anyone know anything about potential fix patches? I am stuck staring at a blank screen after a good deal of time trying to get this game to work. When I reverify the cache it tells me that 1 file failed to validate itself, but I've reinstalled the game twice now, any help at all guys?

Finished the (first?) defence mission. I've been skimping on soldiers, not getting new rookies until that point, and 80% of my roster is limping Should I be worried that the Avatar Project is at 6/10? I'd swear it's impossible to hit bases faster than what I'm doing, and I'm getting good ratings at the end of the month.

First Sectopod sighting occurs when his trooper escort walks out of the building, triggering overwatch and activating the pod. Sectopod has no LOS so it comes stomping out of the building through the garage door, destroying it in the process. Then it stomps over a goddamned truck and blows it up. Unfortunately for the sectopod I have a grenadier with a plasma cannon and bluescreen rounds. Hack chance went from 24% to... 26%. I'm really not impressed! At least its armor is gone.

No. Is there a preference for which 'lead', I should be following up on? I have the Blacksite Vial traced back to a location, but I also have a Shadow Chamber project to look into the Codex's brain. Is one of these more important than the other, or what?.

I successfully kept myself unspoiled about this game. So unspoiled I didn't realize there was no controller support. EU's controls were perfect. Sigh.

I was 2 seconds away from clicking "Buy" on Steam and I decided to check out the reviews. Glad I did, because I found out most missions have a turn limit. gently caress. That. poo poo. What the gently caress is the point of tactics and careful planning and positioning if you have to rush through stuff?

Hahhaha, i just activated a pod from stealth by grenading them while my sniper used Kill Zone to cover the area and enhanced reactionfire every drat alien. The game just stuttered pathetically and then everyone fell over dead in unison.

So you actually have to plan which you really didn't have to before. Turn limits make you plan ahead not stop you from doing it.

To carefully plan around the limit and change your tactics accordingly. I didn't like the idea at first but I'm absolutely in love with the game anyway. It adds a great new dynamic and I'm doing a lot of stuff I wouldn't dare consider for the original XCOM! There's a lot of non-limited missions, and you could mod the timers out anyway.

It is 100% okay to not want to play this game because you think turn limits will be unfun, but it actually requires a greater mastery of tactics so that's the wrong complaint.

Man, mimic beacon is pretty dumb when you unleash it on a trio of snake ladies since their special attacks miss on the hologram. My Sniper has by far the most kills just because she averages about 2 shots a turn when combat gets heated. And she just got the mass pistol skill with Dragon ammo. This should be fun.

As a warning, Phantom is bugged if you get it on non-Rangers (via the AWC). Some of you will have seen this on beagle's stream, but I have it on one of my specialists too, and there is also a way it isn't bugged. The way it is bugged is this: when your squad loses concealment, your non-ranger with phantom appears in your UI to be concealed--you'll even see the warning icons for where enemies will detect you and everything. However, the character isn't concealed at all, and it's a quick way to get yourself into a very dangerous situation. However, it does work in one way. In missions where your squad doesn't start out concealed, your non-ranger with phantom does start out concealed, just like a ranger with the skill.

Try to find the software for your card (I don't know, look for AMD or NVIDIA between your programs), that will usually have power options for certain programs, setting XCOM 2 for high power or something like that should do it if there is a dedicated card in the machine.

How is it running for everyone? I can't say its running bad but on my rig I'm having to turn MSAA down to 4x from 8x for a real smooth framerate, which for my rig and the game in question seems a bit off. E.g. 980 Ti. Doesn't affect my opinion of the game at all just wondered if this is a known issue with optimisation etc etc, might be sorted by new drivers or patches.

I'm really trying to play this game without cheesing and abusing saves but it's pretty unfun otherwise. Almost every mission there's some bullshit event - just now I was on a save civilians mission and one turns into a huge monster, who then does an AOE attack that blows up a car and kill 2 of my soldiers.

Faceless are really only bullshit the first time you see them, now you're always going to know you have to be careful approaching civilians.

Is Beagle going to package his .ini change into a mod? I really liked some of what I saw during yesterday's modded play - pectoids hanging way back from the front line, Advent soldiers hugging good cover, grenades not being the win-all tools they are now.

I'm only playing on Normal so far, but sort of regretting that already and thinking of restarting up to Classic/Commander. One of my best soldiers got panicked by a Sectoid- a Ranger, too, and she was about ready to go all Rules of Nature on a second Sectoid who had a zombie up. I was about to growl angrily and try and figure things out with my other three squad mates, but her panic action was to run away, get a grenade, and kill BOTH sectoids with it, winning me the mission. She was just captured, and if I don't restart I'm really hoping to get to rescue her.

I'm having way too much fun creating the cast of Venture Brothers in the creator. I do hope there is an optimization patch soon cause this game is hammering my computer and I can typically run things pretty well. Any news on that front as this thread is running pretty fast.
