The Dark Events are kinda like a mechanic from that XCOM board game. I'm a little disappointed that the 5th class was just psionics instead of something new. As much as I want MECs back I will be let down if that's the 6th class that's in the DLC they announced.

Was there any kind of collector's edition for XCOM2 that includes the dlc? Google wasn't helpful.

XCOM 2012 Long War question: I can build a Genetics Lab, but not a MEC one. I'm on an outdated version, but what do you need to do to make the MEC lab? Secondly, isn't EXALT supposed to drop weapons as loot?

Did I miss it or is War of the Chosen not really going to add much to the endgame in the way of buff new aliens that actually pose a threat by the time you're toting plasma weapons on colonel ranked soldiers? I know xcom in general has a problem with the endgame being a cakewalk but it'd be nice to at least see an attempt at it. Also why do bulwark SPARKs give high cover to enemies that they are melee attacking.

At first I thought the Reapers were the Lost and was like "oh cool feral humans that use weapons like a mixture of Zombies and EXALT. Neat." Oh well.Zore posted:They said they're buffing several late game enemy types and they added a new alien who knocks out your soldiers and creates clones of them to gently caress you up. You're supposed to beat the Chosen before the actual endgame, though. Speaking of, I heard something before WotC was announced about it having a nemesis system; Did they mean the Chosen themselves, or if say a random ADVENT Officer caps an XCOM soldier will he show up in a different mission with buffed stats?

marshmallow creep posted:You can rename Jane Kelly from the tutorial missions, yeah? The preview said something about "affecting the course of the campaign" so I'm betting you can opt to save the Skirmisher and leave the Reaper to her fate to start off in better standing with the Skirmishers and worse with the Reapers, instead of vice versa. Fangz posted:Not really, casualties were high for like the first few battles but fall off sharply once you get lasers and armour. TFTD was more a meat grinder until you had vibroblades and decent armor. I always figure that's what people remember when they think of OG XCOM as being a nightmare.

No, it's when you fire an entire squad's worth of harpoons at a gillman, only for the aliens to stand perplexed for a moment before returning fire at your new pile of advent burgers.

Is there a way to make Long War 2 enabled with the Not So Long War second wave option from Long War from EU2012? I like a lot of stuff it's added, like Haven management and new classes and enemy types, and the infiltration mechanic is really cool (I felt really smug when my 6 man squad took out 20 ADVENT dudes.  ) but there's just so many missions I feel like I'm going to lose interest.

One thing about the sectoid: I liked the skull faced xcom 2 ones more than the kinda old-new sectoid in chimera.TK-42-1 posted:Just going to say that it’d be amazing to reveal that Daddy is the leader of the rebels because he couldn’t reconcile living with the unmodded aliens. It’d make so many people mad it’d be worth it and also allow them to go another way with things. ...What?

I think the big reason the Muton and Sectoid looking more human-ish weirds me out is that the Viper doesn't.pseudodragon posted:I hope the bad guys are just a bunch of racist human assholes that are exactly that guy and you just run through the game shooting them in the face. Judging by how we've seen hostile aliens already: outlook unlikely Phobophilia posted:Honestly, if you were to throw off the shackles of an alien empire, then it is actually best practice to start hiring on remaining alien colonists and former security forces with thin loyalty to the previous regime. They have the technical know-how, they can help build orbital defences against a second invasion from the empire, they might have more knowledge about interstellar politics that can allow you to play empires off against one another. If your diverse coalition starts to look like Burger King Kids Club then that's just a happy coincidence. That's basically what Verge's deal was even before Chimera Squad. Apparently he leaked information to XCOM. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Apr 16, 2020 |

Floodixor posted:Blech, doesn't sound great. I'll gladly leave it out. Long War 2 kinda sucked anyways. There was neat stuff (new aliens and weapons and stuff) but then you also got penalized for using all your guys and your best gear, so... Coolguye posted:Mod advice is not something I'm going to be putting in the OPs because that stuff tends to change a lot and I don't want to prescribe a lot of that stuff.

Coolguye posted:Mostly liked. Long War fans were so zealous they had to get probated out of a couple of completely unrelated threads for trying to evangelize the virtues of their mod and not taking "shut up" as input. Their complete inability to handle anyone not liking their darling mod was the direct onus for the chess rules in this thread. The mod antagonists were also pretty virulent and lovely, but at least kept the fights in this thread. What chess rules? Regardless, maybe they just misunderstood what the mod worship was about?

Yeah, I don't like the changes they made to Mutons and Sectoids to make them look 'friendlier' or whatever. :/ Mesadoram posted:I'm actually really excited for this game. It seems like a nice side project they did to have fun (key word there is seems). If it is great, I hope it too comes to the Switch. Been itching for a good XCOM like on the Switch. I mean, I'd imagine they're doing it to see how things are received before considering implementing them in XCOM 3 as opposed to fun.

Ended up losing my first no-heal Impossible Hardcore Ironman game about 8 missions in. Mind Control that early is rough and scars add up. Game's quite fun though I do have some complaint. I'm glad they're trying this out, though. Oddly there is no achievement for finishing the game with any of those things other than impossible. Why are there so many human soldiers working for the alien supremacists? Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Apr 24, 2020 |

Claymore seems to kind of suck. On impossible, Verge, Axiom, Blueblood and Cherub are all godsends. Torque is cool due to being able to stun high value targets too. BobTheJanitor posted:Probably money. It's always money. More figured the aliens wouldn't want them than the other way around.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:XCOM 2 changes gameplay A LOT dependent on which DLC is active. Yeah I was doing Grey Pheonix. Mutons and both forms of Sectoids I've seen had 1 armor, but my very brief attempt at Sacred Coil had turrets with like 2 armor and a bunch of other stuff with 1. also skipping the tutorial was a mistake I totally didnt realize how field teams worked. I would've done it but you can't do it on impossible for some reason.

Doesn't mean it's good or anything but it's literally a series about killing invading aliens that are all completely hostile war crime enthusiasts.

Ornamented Death posted:The gently caress is the point of a one-turn stun? The enemy just...wakes up and does their thing. It's a complete waste of an action to do something that only stuns an enemy for one turn. I've been wondering that too. TIL: Zephyr's lockdown attacks CAN and frequently do miss.
