Okay, so I tried Shen's DLC for the first time. Got everyone in the (first) elevator, it did the elevator cutscene, and then it crashed. Tested it twice. Any idea whats causing it?

Any mods? Also IIRC that's a known issue too. The DLCs can be buggy. Jade even had a soft freeze when a ruler took a reaction but died to DoT damage wherein he could do nothing.

God damnit what did the mod makers do now. Tried the LW Laser pack. The research shows up, but not the weapons. Noticed some mods went missing and were...reuploaded I guess? That's what the mod launcher reported anyway. Either way, before I've even started a mission, I'm pretty sure I'm about to get bugged out and crash. edit. Yep just got treated to the underside of the Avenger, again. Lunethex fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jul 9, 2016 |

That mission is buggy as gently caress. Don't even bother with it until firaxis gets around to fixing it, the reward isn't worth the headache.

The best thing about it is Julian bitching every time he misses a shot (which is nearly every shot) and going "STOMP STOMP STOMP". Sparks are real underwhelming.

   Now this is a Legend start I can get behind. Squad was on point and I did so much aggressive flanking that I still had two grenades leftover. Though I really need to get it into my head that the tall black Advent blocks aren't destructible. But then I get a Scientist as my first scanning reward... well I better get an Engineer for either the second scan, or as the Guerilla reward, otherwise that AWC is gonna take 42 days.

I don't like the Julian voice for the spark. He's great as an antagonist, but as a spark voice, it's like oh look, he's "the sarcastic one".

Well poo poo. I had an increased pod size mod that now doesn't work with Hunters. Does anyone have a solid increased enemies mod they can recommend me? I loved the increase squad size mod, it worked pretty well with the extra squad size upgrades for 8 soldiers.

Which is a shame, because it had some pretty good helmets. However, it also had some pretty awful leg options which were just literally "knee pads", leading to a Floater-in-a-Suit.

SPARKs just aren't as cool as MEC troopers. They're also straight up not as good since MEC troopers couldn't be damaged themselves so you could have multiple suits for one guy to swap between. Also, I really miss how your trooper got this terse, emotionless robot voice once they 'upgraded'. Pretty sure MEC suits had way more health than SPARKs too.

My list of improvements for Sparks: -better aim -better HP -No cooldown (or at most a 1-turn cooldown) on punches -Able to carry more than one use of a heavy weapon.

Seriously, I'd actually take the "bonus damage to heavy weapons" ability sometimes if I actually got to use it more than once a mission. Otherwise, what's the point of a single +2 damage rocket launcher/shredder/flamethrower use when I can use robofist infinitely to conserve ammo/laugh my rear end off? Adding 10-15 aim, and maybe 1-2 HP (with another 1-2 per armor tier) would also do a lot to actually make them far more in line with filling the role of your team's ultra-heavy that Mecs used to.

I haven't actually started a new campaign with Shen's DLC but I'm just a bit disappointed by the new "class" being a SHIV that can level up. I always thought 4 soldier classes with only 2 choices of build each to be rather limited, even in Xcom1. Psi-ops being their own class also feels like a step back, especially now that they only level up on the geoscape. I've never actually played Long War or any class mods, but 8 classes with a vastly expanded perk selection and more valid builds looks much more interesting by comparison. I'd also enjoy seeing more Advent types, similar to what Exalt had: enemies with abilities similar to your soldiers'. If we have Lancers with access to slash, why couldn't we have Advent medics/supports ( i guess shieldbearers kinda fill that niche though )? Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to find an Advent sniper with squadsight and then losing track of them? Or Advent with grenade launchers? I know there's already mods that add more advent troop types and soldier classes, but these are things that feel like they're missing from the base game.

Advent troopers really are a boring compromise between weird looking pure alien foes and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CYIu8Bc9sY I cleared the game on rookie, I'm debating if I should turn on some mods for my Veteran run, or if I should master the base game some more before screwing with it. Making rulers less bullshit is probably the most appealing one...

How the gently caress do you mod this poo poo aaaaugh I just spent an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong!! I put these modifications under each Spark template (so one for the generic, and then one for each difficulty): quote:[SparkSoldier X2SparkCharacterTemplate_DLC_3] Started with one line without the plus sign. Added the plus sign, added the -line, added the line without the plus sign out of desperation. Nothing works. The file has the exact same name as the file it's supposed to override, XComGameData_CharacterStats. I followed the quickstart guide to set up the mod to a tee. So frustrating that I spent an hour on this poo poo and literally accomplished nothing, didn't even break the game or anything.

Those of you who make mods, is there a reason there don't seem to be any that add extra faces? You can get all sorts of stuff to put on your characters, and there are even mods that replace the heads entirely with things like Garrus from Mass Effect, but there don't seem to be any mods that add to the six or so basic faces.

Faces are harder to make. Human anatomy is harder to get right than robot parts and weird aliens.

Judging by the sort of stuff that comes out for things like Fallout, an concern for human anatomy rarely seems an issue. I'm just surprised no one's tried even adding one.

Maybe the reason you want mods because so much of the game was so easy as to make things into a grind. Maybe even Commander/Ironman, to actually learn how to play the game and accept casualties.

My understanding is that it was literally impossible to add heads until the patch back in May, and even then the XCOM modding community is pretty small compared to Bethesda's, there may simply not be an active modder who would actually know what they're doing when it comes to adding heads to characters customization for unreal-based games.

The +2 damage is pretty alright, but the extra radius is even better. Bigger explosion hits more targets and levels more of a building. The fist can miss. To me, it's bigger booms every time.

Just as an aside, does anyone else color-code their soldiers to make them easier to tell apart at a glance? Assault: bright red Medics: white Engineers: electric blue Rangers/infantry: forest/military green Grenadiers: hazard orange Gunners: yield yellow Shinobi/spec-ops/etc: pure black Snipers: black + white Psi-ops: purple

Well then. Anyhow, Grimy's Loot Mod just gave me a very interesting SPARK autocannon. It has mods that give it: +3 sight range (okay, cool), +30% damage at the cost of 2 ammo, and then a mod that gives the last round in the weapon +50 aim and 30% bonus chance to crit... meaning that this autocannon can only fire once before reloading but it will virtually always hit and almost always crit with 30% more damage.

That would be a good idea, but I usually just end up making everyone randomize or slot into their own unique thing. Looking forward to trying these Long War Perk classes and the Toolbox's option to start with 10 soldiers. Hope it plays nice with the extra pod mod, because apparently the Increases Enemy Squad Size mod has issues with Alien Hunter? May have to go back through the config and increase all the pod sizes manually. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Jul 10, 2016 |

White for my medic as well  Though it depends a bit on nationality and overall looks as well, i.e. my Irish Sharpshooter is all green, while my other Sharpshooter is kept in dark grey/black. I do have similar tendencies, however, (one of my current Grenadiers is yellow camouflage), yet I suppose I colour-code individual soldiers rather than whole classes.Edit: speaking of nationalities, I am still sad that (and I do wonder why) they didn't include Russian voices again, or more foreign voices in general.
