Insert name here posted:Yeah, I was ok with the T3 looks in EU/EW (especially after they added the extra variations in the DLC) but I really don't like the look of the T3 weapons and armour in this one. I think the WAR suit looks alright but the Warden I don't like and the plasma weapons especially look terrible. I didn't mind plated armour's look but I didn't like how there was no customization options for the torso with it. Also someone should apply a red filter to the tier 3 weapon's beams. Its lasers turn to be the ultimate tech  Seriously though teal is loving awful.

loving hell, chrysalids in this one have ARMOR? God drat it. I'm glad my specialist got Serial from the AWC, because at least that let her shoot down three of them after they got weakened by a grenade.

Do you still get lessened rewards for destroying alien ships too badly, or can I go hog wild with grenades and not worry?

I wish I got good skills from the AWC. Both Rangers got the 50% chance to trigger a second overwatch if the first hits. Grenadier 1 (explosive spec) got Covering fire. Grenadier 2 got Lightning reflexes. Specialist got Hail of Bullets. Sharpshooter got something that doesn't work with pistols. No one got anything really cool or gamechanging. And I'm sad Psi Ops don't get the extra perk.

On raid the train missions/etc, just dont blow up glowing crates. BURN THE REST DOWN. Turrets on trains loving suck hardcore because you cant blow up the floor below them with grenades for an instant kill.

LibbyM posted:Do Archons have a special extra evasion to overwatch shots or something? I haven't played this enough to have a good sample size yet obviously, but I'm pretty sure I've hit them out of my conceal ambushes like 1 in every 20 shots, but I have no problem hitting them in actual combat. From what I can tell, you get one easy hit on them and then they get that "battle rage" buff that apparently gives them a hefty amount of dodge. So now three out of every four hits that makes it past their defense is a grazing hit.

Does the overdrive serum disappear from your inventory after use, even after the battle? The description mentions something about it, and I don't want to bother with it if it's something I'll need to constantly remake.

So now three out of every four hits that makes it past their defense is a grazing hit. Battle Rage just gives them an extra action point to use in combat, which just lets them use two moves before attacking. They're weird because they normally can't melee at the end of a dash, and need the buff to actually let them do something similar. You can test it all when you mind control one.

Zore posted:I wish I got good skills from the AWC. Second overwatch shot for a Ranger can pay dividends in an overwatch trap around corners. Also some potential there to try a Rifle instead of Shotgun. A grenadier with the overwatch no-proc ability would be great as an alternative to moving into position to break overwatch with a well placed grenade, especially before you get all the range upgrades. Specialist with Hail seems pretty awesome. Sure it won't do as much damage as it would for the Grenadier and you lose out on the shred synergy but the uses are still plenty and can do good things to kill several units at once or tear down multiple non-armored enemies.

The upgrade also makes it grant Specialists +25 hack strength.

Nah, the Grenadier actually got no-poo poo Lightning Reflexes from EW's Assault tree with triggering all overwatch and automatically dodging one overwatch per turn. And I think I mistyped the Specialist one, they got the shot that hits 100% of the time but costs 3 ammo which is... rarely useful with no riders like Shred or Holo-targetting. Admittedly the overwatching from my Rangers has been the most useful, but not really gamechanging in any way. Not like say getting RnG on a Grenadier, or Serial on a non-Sharpshooter.

I dunno, having the ability to, in a pinch, have a Specialist absolutely positively shoot that one motherfucker sounds pretty handy, even without any riders. It's like a bigger, beefier Combat Protocol, sorta. Also not a bad way to break Overwatch on that one rear end in a top hat you absolutely need to skirt by. Situational, but not wholly useless.

UFOs don't spawn until you do the Black Site mission so I don't think you have to face an Avenger defence until you do. Since I already controlled all the story mission locations beforehand and the Black Site gave me a convenient lone Codex to Skulljack, I feel pretty confident about letting it sit until the end

As much as I love my Revolver Ocelot wannabe Sharpshooter I can't help but feel like it would have been more efficient overall to double up on Grenadiers and Specialists for maximum guaranteed damage early game and saved myself all the supplies I spent upgrading pistols and sniper rifles. And the research time.

Am I just really unlucky with whatever the red missions are that spawn every month? It's always either 1-2 pips of avatar, or reduce the next facility construction by 2+ weeks. Avatar is going up so constantly I can't even spend time gathering supplies. Reading about people maxing tech is so confusing to me, unless I'm constantly expanding and trying to take out facilities it snowballs, and I'm probably going to lose regardless.

Beat the Veteran campaign after spending 26 hours on this game, and Tony Abbott died on the final mission helping to stop the boats. I feel like I wanna wait a bit for them to fix up a few things before I put my skull back into it.

SQUADSIGHT_CRIT_MOD=-5 (instead of -10) SQUADSIGHT_DISTANCE_MOD=-1 (instead of -2) - I guess this is the penalty per squadsight tile.... Since I would rather play with half the penalty instead of eliminating it completely.

Anyone know where to find full perk lists? I'm trying to figure out everything the AWC can give you, and if there are any more unique holdovers from EW like Lightning Reflexes. I'd kill for Opportunist, or Bullet Swarm. I tried digging in the ini files and had no luck.

Are you loving kidding me? Dude behind heavy cover, enemies at long range, no problem, they both hit and kill. No surprise there, that's xcom after all. Resulting panic spiral, one of my guys breaks cover and runs. My other guy on overwatch loving shoots him. Are you making GBS threads me? Not a panicked soldier, just a dude on overwatch. Come the gently caress on.

Welp, just finished up a stealth base destruction mission that was pretty fun. I got 80% the way there without encountering any enemies and just decided to see how far I could push it. At one point a Muton pack walked right up to the square next to them, but didn't spot them because they were cowering behind a waist-high concrete barrier. Then the Mutons just decided to hang out there, for like five turns. Thanks to their extreme obliviousness, not a single shot was fired by either team, leaving more then half the fields on the mission screen blank. Fun times. ^^Edit: The stinger at the end shows a bunch of Ethereal statues at the bottom of the ocean (where the final mission takes place), then zooms into a crack in the ocean floor which is glowing purple. The good and fun interpretation is TFTD is up next, the bad and predictable interpretation is that the Ethereal's souls are still around and they're going to come back to menace humanity yet again, like the end of a bad movie where the last shot is of the villain having survived. Which interpretation do YOU think is correct? Hint: As much as I would love it, I'm pretty sure it's not the good one. Random Asshole fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Feb 7, 2016 |
