If it's not a bother can I get my guy's voice changed to one of the UK ones? I think UK 1 is the good one while 2 is horrible but either will do (3 and 4 are Scottish and Irish iirc) Thank you

This is absolutely gonna get me playing WOTC again, my laptop chugs with it though. How is it on PS4? I only made it a few missions in because of the chug, and with the tutorial on, never even got to see the templars (they're clearly amazing).FairGame posted:Sure. Cheers!

You didn't ask me this once through all the times I went out on my own with just a pistol and a cool jacket to my name, and the moment I decide "gently caress it" and get myself a big gun you're asking me that question? You're not my commanding officer any more, Ted  (said furiously through a ventilator against doctor's orders)

Chuu posted:Also, in a very early version of XCom2 a specialist's rover could reveal the squad if the enemies sighted it. Was that ever fixed? As far as I'm aware (haven't played much WOTC but this is how it was in vanilla), you can use the gremlin to check out the hacking bonuses from the towers without breaking concealment, but if you hack, it breaks it.

Oh my god. Not gonna lie dude I really appreciate you getting me out of there when you did. I don't think we've ever seen you so panicked, it seemed like you were putting in actions without thinking, kind of flailing around a bit as things got worse and worse. That was rough. I don't blame you for getting frantic. You're usually so calm in your playstyle, it felt wrong to see you starting to lose it a bit.  RIP guys, was an honour to serve with you

It is testing every ounce of my willpower not to get this game on PS4 and go ham. I have it on PC but my laptop gets hot. Scary hot. I got about this far into WOTC before deciding never to play it again until I upgrade. The Viper King appeared on my first supply raid, which was about my 3rd mission same as this campaign, so good times. Must finish FFVIIR first. Then I can xcom. PS thanks for changing my voice, it's perfect (said through a ventilator against doctor's orders)

Akratic Method's attitude has improved considerably since the first war. I do kind of miss his gruff "move here, move there..." though. Also there's almost no chance of him accidentally exploding his own people.

Crazy Achmed posted:Use them or not, but I also don't get why mimic beacons are so overpowered - every time I've seen somebody use them, they soak up one, maybe two shots max before expiring. But come to think of it, when did we kill a faceless? I don't remember that... We skipped out on the first terror mission but the second one there was a faceless, it just didn't get to do anything. There was a cutscene for it. Also joining the ranks of "mimic beacons are good" for bullshit like last mission, they aren't anywhere near as broken as the thing we can get from the Viper King in my experience. They just die so quickly it becomes "take a soldier's turn to save a soldier's turn", they die in one or two hits from units who take one or two shots on their turn.

FairGame posted:The mechanical enemies are less varied as well. You have...mecs and...other mecs and...spoiler, I guess, but everyone knows it's coming (sectopods). No seekers/drones/or my favorite weird looking enemy, the cyberdisc. There's what I guess is supposed to be the XCOM2 version of the disc but it's just not as cool. Cyberdisc noise is my fave from EW, I love how weird it sounds. Actually its whole design is my favourite, when it unfolds it's so cool. Yeah, nothing so cool in 2. There's some really cool enemies upcoming in 2, and I'm glad they ditched floaters in favour of... them. Actually, Fairgame I missed what you're doing with the Rulers. Are they showing up in this? I really like them, but can see on legendary them being panic-worthy. I haven't seen how WotC nerfed them yet so I'd be interested.

Omnicrom posted:It may actually be unique to XCOM's side, as XCOM's attacks are changed to "Headshot" when targetting Lost. It might be that the altered version of attack is what gives the free action. Advent get the Headshot bonus, we've seen them do it. Hunter's the first time we've seen a Chosen attack a lost. I think Akratic Method is wondering whether the Hunter actually has an action that would give him a Headshot, or if his rifle shot is his main action (as it pops up a blurb as all non-standard actions do) e: also xcom's attacks aren't changed, Headshot is a bonus given after the shot. Kill a Lost in one shot = Headshot = no action taken. Nothing we saw from the Hunter gave that bonus but he might have other things stored away, or it doesn't count for Chosen, I don't know eating only apples fucked around with this message at 02:59 on May 2, 2020 |

I hope we see an ambush at some point, I've only done one before and they're hard. Looking forward to Ruler Time next time! Do you always face the rulers in the same order, or could we see any of them at this point, as we've seen all their corresponding enemies?

Akratic Method posted:Deadford was lost, and you stepped up to become the new Deadford, and then during the last phase of your montage, we got Deadford back. I thought Vaughn was New Deadford, but FairGame hasn't actually bought Serial on him yet (presumably for fear of him dying early). Once he gets that he will be Deadford+. Prove yourself, Deadford! You too Munin! Good luck Method, there's a looooot of ranger competition right now. Better hope for some bad missions. Me though, my competition is, what, Roth? I like Roth though, I like her entire look. I also like not getting shot a lot. Hang in there, Roth!

That Roth glitch warranted a force quit and reload imo, although the game definitely partly thought she was next to the van - her green bondmate square was there. But her cover bonus wasn't right for being there. So was she in spirit by the van and that square triggered the pod, or was the square she was in physically the one that triggered it? Either way for me, that'd be a gently caress-it-reload just to make sure.

Yeah Vaughn and Munin seem likely to carry the campaign for a while, excepting the templars and Din and SugarAddict, noisy as he is. I'm upset about the loss of Roth, not just because I liked her but because that sure leaves us low on grenadiers and one of them is fuckin' me. Seriously I'm obviously far too squishy, just leave me... somewhere safe. I can't believe I finally got shot half to death on a covert op, that was a long time coming.Thankfully with all the new sergeants incoming I'm not likely to see much action! e: is it me or is Vaughn kinda  ? The snake suit certaintly adds something too
