The overwatch came didn't seem to work as it did before. Did they turn it off? When someone ran into overwatches, things just hung for a while until someone off screen started shooting.

The modded Muton Centurion is very Krogan. I really look forward to a Mass-Com mod emerging in the future. Get some snek-tits in the romance layer of the ant-farm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjE_JSqLt0Y A unique trait of psionics is that you have to put the unit in training for a number of days for each ability, but they can get everything if you put enough time into them.

He said having more than one was going to be rare, pretty much because of time and resources involved. I think he said that you need a psi-training chamber per operative, so they take up an entire square on the ant-farm.

So how will mod be installed and used by a player, exactly? Will it be like a Bethesda game where you just tic a box before you launch the game to use a particular mod?

If they don't get "de-leveled" and you only get bonus perks on an original level up, then I think keeping the bonus perks would be fine. Get to rank 4, get a bonus perk, retrain and repick your four ranks of abilities, but keep that bonus from the AWC. Otherwise I'd imagine you play the AWC roulette with every retraining. "poo poo, my X didn't get Y like I wanted; better retrain him, I guess."

X-com Kings. Take Long War and make it longer by merging it with Crusader Kings and making the fight against the alien overlords last literal centuries as you play generations upon generations of commanders. Commanders can be born with traits that improve or hinder their ability to control troops on the field: Perhaps your commander will be a pacifist and you'll have to complete missions without ever firing a weapon, or perhaps he/she'll simply be born insane and order your soldiers to attack each other because they are all secretly faceless oh god!

I want a Faceless to infiltrate the Avenger during a recruitment drive and you suddenly have a monster attacking your staff on the ant-farm.

Fuzz posted:I had no idea this was coming out so soon. gently caress yeah! Ooo, that's a thought. Bring in some more Syndicate themed stuff. I know a lot of people are hard on the FPS Syndicate but it had some fun guns. The two that could see and shoot through walls would be nice to have to eliminate line of sight blockers, and the chain gun with homing bullets and the hand held swarming missile launcher would be cool too. We already hack brains, so ripping chips out of people's heads would be a cosmetic difference.

Oh yeah, I played it on console. It had some others that could be fun, like a belt-fed shotgun that could be incorporated to give Grenadiers a weapon that increases accuracy and crit chance at close range at the obvious sacrifice of long range. I can also see something like a mode where plainclothes but heavily modified operatives in an EXALT vein working for competitive ADVENT governments receive missions to sabotage other collaborator governments in order to advance their place in the ADVENT hierarchy. "Agent. New India has developed a mutagen that could accelerate the AVATAR project. They must not be allowed to keep it, or their place in the ADVENT hierarchy will threaten our own. Infiltrate the New India lab facility. Dispose of any assets, organic or mechanical, that you encounter, and secure that mutagen. Leave no trace of our involvement, and you will be among the first to be uplifted."

They don't scale as far as I can tell--they can be destroyed with enough damage and harder hitting units are going to clear them out faster, possibly even immediately, at which point all fire is on you again. They may be an early game hail mary but late game joke of a slot. If they get nerfed, I imagine it'll be to reduce their hit point and defense values so they fall apart much faster.

One of the first things I want to do when I get home and can play is use the most guys I can at once, while also facing a commensurately large number of baddies. I like the feeling of large scale encounters; like, I always preferred the original Tactics Ogre to Final Fantasy Tactics for that reason. How many people can the game handle you spawning at once before it starts stacking people inside a single cell on the other side of the map like what happened with Beagle?

So I've finally made it home and opened up Steam, but XCOM 2 has been sitting at 97% with no change. The download window says it has .6 GB left to download, but it ain't downloading. I can press Play, but it just brings up a window that says "Ready to launch in X" seconds and keeps counting up. Do I need to verify the cache; delete and start over (which is going to fuuuuuuck my bandwidth for the month) or is there something else going on?

Well gently caress me. Doing the tutorial and I don't have a specialist for the mission where you must hack the terminal, and I wasn't able to get to the drive in time because some guys came out of the shadows and shot my rookie who was a turn away stone dead. I killed all the aliens after the timer expired but still got a game over. WHELP!

That was my point; I rushed people there to beat the timer and got shot in the back from across the map, so no one was able to actually get to the objective alive. With a specialist I could have done it from range.

Well after losing the bloody tutorial, I've done much, much better. Had a few losses, but that's to be expected. The last retaliation mission I had to face down introduced berserkers, but the hardest part was actually the three vipers at the end who no one in the party could hit, and when they did, it was a graze. I think half my turns were spent just trying to hit them  Oh, and I took a Goonpool rookie named "Peas" on his very first mission, and he was the only person to get shot--got hit in full cover by a disoriented trooper from some distance away. He decided on his way to med bay he wanted to be a ranger, and I finally got to take him out for a spin just a few minutes ago. He rules-of-natured half a map and did the most damage out of a entire team of lieutenants and sergeants, despite only being a squaddie. I'm so proud of him I'm taking him to the Blacksite.  5 of those six kills were just that one mission; took out two sectoids, a MEC and a muton. Underdog MVP.

elite_garbage_man posted:taking control of an enemy through hacking one of those pylons will cause you to lose concealment too. Not sure about other hacks. I can confirm that getting a hack that disorients all enemies on the map does not break concealment, and gives you a nice warning about how many enemies there are and their types.

Again, I find it funny how people's different playstyles or perception of the game's demands lead to a declaration of one class or another being garbage. I've seen several people say rangers are useless, and then several people say sharpshooters are useless, and then just as many proclaim either of them to be amaze-balls.

For my own take, I find getting sharpshooters to shine has not been easy, because the maps I've been getting have not been good for high ground and prioritized mobility, mobility, mobility, but I am by nature a close-encounters kind of guy and am probably not seeing the field the way a good sharpshooter player would.

Draxion posted:It basically just doubles the engineer you put in to staff it, it doesn't seem to do anything else besides that afaik. Yeah, you put in an engineer, and you get two gremlins you can put in adjacent facilities. Put in two engineers, and you get four gremlins. They can clear rubble, run power plants, staff medbays, the works.
