So that rescue mission that has you only have 3 soldiers? Don't kill everything like usual, it's a super stealth mission. Learned that harsh lesson when I kept killing and reinforcements literally came every turn. Oops.

Whyyyyyyy the gently caress did they gently caress with the controller controls again Why Right trigger isn't automatically linked to the action submenu is beyond me. It works perfectly for exactly that purpose Captain Magic fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Aug 30, 2017 |

RBA Starblade posted:I'm reading that the tutorial was supposed to be expanded and pretty different, but up to when it crashed forever on me the only difference was the opening cutscene. Was it referring to Lost and Abandoned? Lost and abandoned is an extended tutorial that shows up after the normal one, after the first normal mission you get

Learned that harsh lesson when I kept killing and reinforcements literally came every turn. Oops. Additionally, the moment you pick up the rescue target, you will instantly be revealed. I did not know that and I didn't pay attention I guess so suddenly after my "perfect" stealth I was under the gun of all the stuff I snuck past.

"uhhhh just pretend you can't see it" Chosen showed up on a rescue mission and decided to camp the VIP. Presumably this was supposed to be an ambush but the VIP revealed her position so I knew exactly where she was. Not very smart on her part. Of course when I engaged her she summoned an advent trooper. No big deal, except unlike her the trooper did not ignore the VIP and shot her in the face. VIP lived with 1 HP. That's not very fair!

Does it feel like you're doing way more in a month? I'm like almost done with march, and I felt like I did like a dozen missions and have 20 promoted units.

pedro0930 posted:How do you deal with the assassin? She has massive move range and I feel the only way I can kill her without taking tons of damage is when she does something dumb like using her grenade. Maybe I should just clump up my troops so she'll do it more often? I set up shop on top of a building, then she came up and stabbed somebody. A grenade + claymore mine dropped her through the floor, where I was able to finish her off. edit: related to this, if you have someone standing at the top of the pathable ladders/pipes, lost can't come up to get you. I used a lot of explosives on the chosen and had a very large crowd gathered around my building. :c

Is it possible to cheese promotions for your soldiers by just racking up stupid numbers of lost kills?

You can definitely get promotions from lost kills, but I'm not sure if there's some level of diminishing returns on the infinite spawning maps.

Amusingly, one of the weaknesses the Chosen can get is more grenade damage, along with the resistance weakness, so one grenade can send them running, it's a shame I wasn't on the mission that let me kill her.

There doesn't seem to be but my guys were pretty fatigued/shaken by the end of the mission.

My only complaint so far is that the cut-scenes in the intro mission were laggy sometimes. Actual game itself seem to run perfectly though?

Almost got a VIP extraction in the bag only for my beat-up Templar to get loving Panicked by a Sectoid. At which point he runs into the gas station and drops a grenade at his feet, putting him in Sustain. Except he's on a burning tile because just blue up a gas station so he's instantly on fire. So the moment he revives he dies (well...he does have a turn to basically rip a Lancer's throat out with his dying breath  ) At which point his girlfriend berserks and I can't extract her either.I did have a Support that could have healed him, but he also had to be extracted because he got stun-lanced. At least I got the VIP, the Support (who somehow got promoted for spending 75% of the mission unconscious) and the Templar's corpse out, I'll have to rescue his widow at some point.

Did they buff Advent MECs? I swear micro missiles used to do 1-2 damage, not 3-4. Also what do Purifiers even do other than act as gas tanks on legs, which is possibly the dumbest thing Advent could of made?
