I have really awful audio stuttering problems whenever anything moves, and it is completely hosed and kinda unplayable.

expanded mag and/or autoloader + serial rampages are so good. It's In the Zone but with even less restrictions. also I love how kill zone can lead to sick nasty 360 no scope shots.

I only used serial once in my first campaign because Killzone's ability to give you multiple shots on each target (if you activate a pod on your turn, it activates on their scatter move and again when or if they get to act) was just better most of the time

I'm interested in trying out a sniper build next run because I've been solely using Gunslinger. Serial sounds great, but the ability to one-shot any mech with Fan Fire or instant-kill any Codex is too good for my style.

CapnAndy posted:Gunslinger Sharpshooters are amazing, but I so deeply love Kill Zone. Especially for priming an ambush. Go ahead and scatter, fuckers, I've got you all in my sights. I basically insist on having both a gunslinger and a sniper in my squad from now on. If I could justify taking Kill Zone over Faceoff on a gunslinger I suppose I'd only need one, but goddamn they're both so good that I refuse to choose just one.

I mean aim isn't even a horrible skill. It's not like pistol overwatch is a great thing on a sniper focused sharpshooter - and most high ground cover is light cover So blue moving up and hunkering down means you are very unlikely to be targeted (or hit, or killed) and then the next turn you have +20 aim to drop a deadshot You guys don't know what bad skills are lol...try flush or rapid reaction

Zephro posted:Has anyone run into a bug where you load a savegame in the battlescape, get about half a second of sound, and then it freezes with a black screen? When you force-quit Xcom you get "Error 41: The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request". I've tried loading earlier saves from the same mission but nothing seems to fix it, so I don't think it can be a single corrupt save.

This game is great and I've finally just beaten it on commander ironman, but I'm pissed as hell that it uses the same "pods only activate if you're stupid enough to look at them" rules as EU did. Concealment and time limits are an okay bandaid for the kind of gameplay those mechanics encourage but they're not fixes for the underlying problem, and absolutely nothing feels worse than just trying to get a good flank or something and accidentally doubling the size of the enemy squad in the process.

It was a guaranteed hit, albeit for minor damage, and could dislodge enemies from difficult positions. It was even better in training roulette since you could get flush on assaults, which was great with shotguns. I don't even remember what rapid reaction does though.

FWIW, the final part of the final mission on veteran was hilarious. I went in there with a gatekeeper and an andromedan, who turned on me when he died. I didn't use my special unit to mc anyone in the last battle and I don't think anyone took a single point of damage. I got some additional MC's with insanity and void rift. One big thing I learned from beaglerush is to make a strategy with your team using their abilities. In a fight, you go through each guy and figure out what they can do, what their aim %'s are, how many people they can kill, who should go first (the guy who can only aim at one person, often) etc. Sometimes a hopeless looking situation can be fixed by just using 3 of your 6 dudes, and at the end of the 3rd guy's turn, every enemy is not just dead, but SUPER dead.

Oh hey apparently (confirmed by Amineri) crit chance isn't conditional on a hit, meaning 50% hit and 50% crit means that all hits will be crits.

I haven't actually had any issues with demolition but there is indestructible cover in the game and sometimes it's hard to know the difference but one way to know is to target something with a grenade direct hit and see if it shades red or not

redreader posted:I'm pretty sure flush was an assault skill, and was the alternative to rapid fire.. Hahaha well shows how long its been since I played EU without training roulette. I thought it was a heavy skill. If it was competing with rapid fire then yeah, you would never take it. A lot of skills have that problem though, where the skill itself is fine but one it competes with is amazing so the choice is always obvious.

Internet Kraken posted:If pods didn't use that rule then the last problem would be even worse though. I'd rather the default pod size was 4 or 5 but the game was set up such that it was effectively impossible to activate pods by accident. Maybe the second one automatically airdrops in X turns after the first is activated, maybe you can always see pod LOS as red squares on the map even in fog of war, whatever. I hate losing soldiers because I looked through the wrong window.

When I was talking about the Hunker Down RNG, I was talking about Deep Cover. The Skill that auto hunkers down if you didn't attack that turn. You know, the skill opposite of Untouchable for Rangers.
