Remember when I didn't like ADVENT's alien-gibberish? So in the intro cinematic Bradford gets stopped at a checkpoint by ADVENT TSA. Instead of "Halt, citizen. We need to check you for weapons" they screech at him in alien tongue and beat him when he doesn't comply with whatever the gently caress it is they wanted. I feel like a civilization capable of FTL travel, planetary invasion, and genetic manipulation on this scale should have anticipated this issue.

FraudulentEconomics posted:Uh, unsure why this is... but I'm getting a profile not found whenever I try going to Beagle's stream. VODs still work, but they don't have a name or anything with them. They requested a name change away from Miss_Jamball because people were always getting confused. The name change went through mid-stream. Awkward things ensued like the video migrating to the new channel but the chat not doing so. BeagsandJam now, I think.

The Shortest Path posted:Holy poo poo Slingshot on Long War. Friends In Low Places certainly gets tougher due to its early arrival, greater pod size, and patrols. The key is to retreat back to the high cover gravestones at the very back and camp out, trying to lure just one pod at a time. Also, bring rockets. Juuuuust wait until you see what they did with Gangplank.

Chin Strap posted:So I just tried to play LW on my first mission and was a total party wipe. What do I need to differently to not die so much (normal difficulty, using the easier ini and all the second wave options suggested by Iron Rose). Given that I have no idea what you're doing to start with, the only difference I can suggest is to be better at video games? Maybe you can elaborate on what the problem is.

Got my GMG key, pre-loading now. GMG sends you two keys, in the wrong order it seems. The top key is DLC, steam kicks back an error "hey you need to activate the original game first" Second key activated XCOM 2 and the warrior pack. First key seems redundant.  Get hype.

DrManiac posted:I'm going to go for them since they seems pretty interesting but not so much that it should majorly effect the feel of my first playthrough. I can't wait to see how the leadership skill tree works out. They'd probably also greatly benefit a blade-specc'd ranger. However, I feel like sneak-spec will be superior to hanzo steel.

necrobobsledder posted:As another person on 3440x1440, I am not looking forward to hitting this at all on a single GTX 970. I turned down resolution in most other games to make it work out for me but I'm just hoping that the SLI is the problem rather than the game is murder on GPUs. It was murder on single GTX 970 as well. However, massive improvement was found turning the resolution down. I usually play XCOM in a window anyway because it lends well to multitasking. At 1920x1200 I set things back to almost max. Deuce fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Feb 4, 2016 |

Anybody else have Overwatch just refuse to engage sometimes? I don't understand why 4 identical rookies wont all go into overwatch... One turn, two of them wont do it. Next turn, all four are fine. Turn after, only 3 will do it.

Furism posted:Man these "make getting out of concealment count" ambushes are awesome. There's nothing quite like throwing a grenade and getting a 3x Overwatch followup. Grenade launcher with plasma grenade Sharpshooter with killzone, dragon rounds, and an extended mag. Also, I just discovered dragon rounds can detonate flammable objects immediately. I killed a guy who was hiding behind a semi truck cab by exploding the truck. And the game had the nerve to call it a miss...

Ilustforponydeath posted:Whoa there charles dickens. Meld was optional, not something the game wields as a U LUSE button. It wasn't technically required but it encouraged players to move faster. That's why they made meld work the way it did. Honestly I haven't really found the timers to be all that restrictive. As long as you move forward reasonably quickly you have more than enough time to battle your way across the map. edit: and on veteran, many of the timers are 8 rounds. I've seen 12 on some missions.

First Sectopod sighting occurs when his trooper escort walks out of the building, triggering overwatch and activating the pod. Sectopod has no LOS so it comes stomping out of the building through the garage door, destroying it in the process. Then it stomps over a goddamned truck and blows it up. Unfortunately for the sectopod I have a grenadier with a plasma cannon and bluescreen rounds. Hack chance went from 24% to... 26%. I'm really not impressed! At least its armor is gone.

Blackfyre posted:How is it running for everyone? I can't say its running bad but on my rig I'm having to turn MSAA down to 4x from 8x for a real smooth framerate, which for my rig and the game in question seems a bit off. E.g. 980 Ti. Anti-aliasing seems to be a huge bottleneck. I had things chugging like crazy on an SLI 970 setup. Turned down a bunch of stuff. Then I tried setting everything to maximum and only having ant-aliasing set to FXAA. Runs smooth.

When I saw there was a building that gives your ship turrets for defending against ground assault, I figured this was a good idea to invest in. Built it, upgraded it, staffed an engineer which apparently boosts stats. Now I'm about to find out.
