It is a large percentage that, but the USA is kinda huge in terms of landmass and mostly sparsely populated west of the Mississippi, so there are sound (if really unfortunate) reasons for most of the country having poo poo all for internet infrastructure

Oddly conflicted about that. On the one hand, having a definite fail state for a game as long as an XCOM campaign makes me  ; on the other, this fix goes against the Doom Clock's intent, for sure.Wonder how difficult modding would be to remove the grace period. Probably not very.

Spiritus Nox posted:I'm watching through Beaglerush's live and legendary videos now, and I love how he mentions right away that the devs changed how the stealth phase worked specifically because of a really powerful trick he discovered when they let him play with the preview builds. It's really cool how open they've been with the community as the game's developed, even if it does mean we need to keep a little bit more aware of potential paid shills. The funny thing is, the Beaglewatch still works once you get Kill Zone on a Sharpshooter, because that is an area Overwatch that activates even in concealment

It might be a little more flexible that way, yeah, but 99% of the time I'd imagine a soldier skilled with e.g. a sniper rifle in your scheme would only ever use a sniper rifle, except in a truly dire emergency, so it becomes a locked in class in all but name

Noted curmudgeon TotalBiscuit (I know, I know) did his video on XCOM 2 today and he seemed to absolutely love it, and any game he actually likes that much is worth getting on the hype train for (I'd link but I'm at work ATM) Can it be Friday now please

I suppose it would be something else worth trying with XCOM 2's modding capabilities; if the Long War folks were able to add a completely separate Leadership tree in as a mod surely a weapon-based tree and removal of classes should be possible

Does Kill Zone activate on everything that moves in the radius, or just the first one? If it's everything, uh, Do we know yet if any of the difficulties have Hidden RNG Fudging®? That poo poo annoyed the hell out of me in EW.

I think the mag weapons look pretty neat, personally! Beams were the best in EW, though, true, except for Suppression. Not enough beams when a Support used it, and I never took it on Heavies.

Finally got home and walked through activating my GMG keys. It was weird, it indicated that the first key in my email was no good, so I used the second key, and it told me I was activating the DLC. It then started the preload; then I went back and tried the first key again. It told me it was also activating the DLC. Bet a dollar when I open this tomorrow the DLC won't work

Since we're talking about it, can the steam controller be used as a normal 360 controller or does it have to be in its odd keyboard-emulation mode at all times?

Kiggles posted:This is what Steam controller does best. Supports basically everything, and is fully customize-able, even for things like Xinput. It's really just a matter of loving/hating the touch pads. Cool to know, thanks. I've been thinking about getting a Steam Link for a while, so I don't have to run HDMI, USB, etc. across the room to the TV and deal with monitor fuckery; maybe I'll buy a Steam Controller to go with it. Wish I could try the touchpad thing before I buy, though.

Furism posted:FYI the X360 pad works like a charm with the Steam Link (Valve is the maintainer of the driver Linux of that pad), even if you use the PC wireless adapter. If you have one hanging around, you can save yourself $50. Also good to know! But I was thinking more about the Steam controller for games like this, that don't support controllers by default.

Zore posted:Creating a character doesn't lock them to a class, they can show up as a rookie who can promote to anything. You can also tag them to show up in the base as an engineer/scientist or in missions as a VIP. I was led to understand you can also choose a class for them for the purpose of pre-promoted soldiers, like in mission rewards?

idonotlikepeas posted:Right now there's a lot of enthusiasm and manual labor available to do all this stuff by hand. Later in the game's lifecycle that might not be the case, so your efforts might be more valuable then. Sounds like a plan to me I had this rather sudden, grandiose idea for a systray app that monitors wherever saved character files go, and automatically uploads them to some central server, categorized by user name with lots of tagging and grouping options. You would be able to pick characters from the site like a shopping cart, and create a character pool you can download and import. I know I could eventually do the client part, but I am hot loving garbage at web programming (I don't even know what the favorite web programming languages are nowadays), so it'd be an interesting learning experience anyway.
