Hey I contribute. I spent all last thread helping anons and discussing WotC.

Don't scapegoat people like the platform they're using defines them.

why does the game even give you the option to skip a mission?
obviously if people are trying to scan then theyre just seeing if they can quickly get a guy out of wounded/finish a site before starting the mission

>>183242412
So you can skip the mission?

found this out watching a recap vid, but that's pretty neat that you can get more than one reaper, skirmisher, and templar

and if you lose your first one they're replaced

How the FUCK am I suppose with the sudden difficulty spike after the first advent black site mission. I've had 3 runs end because I lose my best units to the rape robot and every mission after mutons wipe out every squad until the avatar project finishes because the project site was in Africa when I started in North America.

Spectre. Also worth noting that there's different kinds of Lost, we've already seen two, the normies and the thoughies.

>>183247646
I don't think dashers are the tough lost.

>>183247695

>>183251006
>all the alien hunters stuff
>Valhen builds these while under siege from the hunters with limited resources and time
>Tygan can't reproduce them

>>183251204
Valhen is one of the world's top scientists, Tygan is just some random researcher that had a change of heart

>>183251341
In all fairness, while he's no Vahlen, some of the shit he manages to pull in the campaign is out of this world.

Seems it'll be brought up to 11 in WOTC since despite suddenly developing alzheimers he can outright repeatedly permanently improve aspects of technology.

>>183251341

Nonsense, Vahlen is only obsessed with creating cock monsters, she is no match for Tygan whose goal is recreating the Advent Burger.

>>183251661
>despite suddenly developing alzheimers
What?

>>183251827
Joke on how breakthroughs are temporary and if you don't take them as soon as they show up they'll disappear.

>>183251862
Ah.

>>183251661
True it's still kind of silly that he can't reproduce at least the axe.

>>183251862
breakthroughs are probably random, which means it might be possible to get breakthroughs that improve alien hunters weaponry, and my only question is, how the fuck.

>>183252074
I could not have predicted this outcome, but it is intriguing.

>>183252074
doubt it
if anything the hunter weapons might benefit on breakthroughs on their type
like the axe on sword breakthroughs and so on

>>183252291
That still asks the amusing question of how Tygan's Miraculous Science Thought can affect weapons made by an entirely different researcher.

>>183251862

I don't understand the purpose of breakthroughs. They look like they'll just be buffs to the player.

>>183252441
They are
Apparently the tradeoff is that they appear only once, but honestly I've never been in a situation where I absolutely needed a certain research done

I don't even remember it being this MAGNIFICENT. XCOM2 made it too comfy for me, time to experience the pain again.

And this isn't even LW1...

>>183252439
it doesn't, but its more subtle and less obvious about it than having whole breakthroughs for them
also the fact that you can potentially spent time on research for a weapon you lose the next mission or you already lost the weapon and get an useless breakthrough

>>183252439

But they are already built, can't Lily just take them apart and reproduce the parts?

>>183252886

It is not.

>>183252834
>>183252886
it just looks like shit
"show health values" is the superior one

>>183252924
Then she risks permanently breaking them if she can't figure out exactly how they work

>Tygan and Lily can't make a single axe

>>183252834
Numerical health display's shit, it leaves a ridiculously long solid bar for no reason. Use this instead, it's much less intrusive. Now with shield readouts!

>>183254384
then we agree to disagree
i prefer how less intrusive it is
also, it updated a few months ago to count shields too, dont know if it can also count armor because it has never been an issue for me until spectrum

>>183276187
I don't mind the hair so much since you only ever encounter them twice in the game but if they could have changed the hair into something not retarded and female avatar model would be cool unless there already is that'd be great

>>183280095
>unless there already is
There is, just like the other ADVENT troopers.

>>183280182
Well maybe I never noticed, is there a 100% chance one will show up in water world? Also I hope they get reworked in WOTC.

>>183280272
>is there a 100% chance one will show up in water world
idk, the model differences are very subtle, it's more likely that you never noticed.

>Also I hope they get reworked in WOTC.
Why? In what way?

I haven't played LW2 since it's initial release.
Is it worth rechecking and starting a campaign before WotC, or should I stick with vanilla so that's still fresh in my mind?

>>183280408
Take out the super saiyan hair, I personally am not a fan but if they don't it won't bother me since I've said before you only ever encounter them twice in the whole game so its not that aesthetically displeasing.

They may very well only have used the male model. I haven't seen them enough times to know if the other one is used or not.

>>183280637
I mean they do steal human bodies to cure their spaceaids so I don't see why'd they'd be genderless unless they purposely castrate them.

>>183280637
It is true. Female Avatars are curvier and bustier.
And why a human-based body would be genderless?

>>183280987
They don't just steal bodies they take psionically gifted humans and meld them together
They've abducted millions of people but they only have like 4 avatars

>>183281418
Yeah they take psionically gifted humans and steal their bodies, I do wonder what a complete Avatar would be like, I mean the ones you fight in game are incomplete and they're pretty strong already.

>>183281570
Probably like a psi op with no cooldowns and 10 actions

>>183281570
well the completed avatar ends the game, so you could assume it's capable of psionically affecting either the avenger itself or the crew, base defense style

>>183282391
Maybe, speaking of Avenger's defense, Chosen Avenger's defense from THE ELDER'S MOST LOYAL CHAMPION vid looks promising, since you got shot by a rail gun I am assuming you have to survive a certain amount of turns for Lily to repair the ship.

>>183280408
>the model differences are very subtle, it's more likely that you never noticed.

Especially since you're going to be zoomed out in tactical view and not staring at their crotch. It's difficult to tell the gender differences between regular ADVENT troops.

The Avatar in the autopsy cinematic is female. The Commander's Avatar is always male because Firaxis are deplorable sexists. The other Avatar genders are randomized.

Isn't the Commander's avatar made by Tygan and Shen?

>>183282841

>>183282758
Commander confirmed male

>>183282841
I have never encountered this problem, I have around 100+ hours and I play with a few cosmetic mods, is it a random thing or does it just happen when you have a lot of mods on?

It's the one they find in the Forge

I havent done the mission in a while, but I think I say like twenty or something health blips with like three armor or whatever. It may have been hard because my soldiers werent that experienced yet, tho.

Oh well, second play through is the charm or whatever.

>>183285118
Well you're supposed to put everyone on OW and hope you get their shots in but after that Lily's gremlin skills make the fight kinda easy, will also be really easy if you still have all your nades left. Also if you can Haywire Julian and get all the MECS their self destruct is actually really good

>>183285615
>compared to my dainty default weapons

Yeah, there's your problem. Trying to do either of the DLC missions before you get Mag weapons is asking for trouble. The Alien Hunters mission isn't too hard, but dealing with the rules afterwards at that low a level is a nightmare. And while Lost Towers is over and done with after that mission, it's an utter bloody slog if all you can do is plink away with regular bullets.

>>183287796
Didn't think it was possible, but I'll look into it. Thank you.

It just slows everything down and doesn't offer any challenge. You just end up spending Intel to max it out, so why bother with it in the first place? Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

>>183288705
I only boost infil when I need to really. It's not productive to spend it on constant boosts.

All I remember is that it was from one of the proper gaming news sites, not a streamer.

One of PCGN's videos, perhaps, or Eurogamer/IGN.

It's literally a five second clip inside the video as they briefly talk about having encountered the Hunter during their time with the hands on.

>>183312660
Warlock can crash the game whenever he feels like silencing a MISCREANT'S WRETCHED TONGUE.

What tier weapons/items do I need to do Shen's mission and the alien hunter one?

This is commander
So right now I just got T2 rifles, pistols, mgs, and snipers. The second I got all of that I took on the black site with a 5 man crew. Won and now I have a 6 man crew about to go on a retaliation mission. I have the Alien hunter weapons but the nest mission hasn't come yet. Shen's mission has been scanned and is good to go whenever.

I don't have a proving grounds yet. I've won the game on commander with no DLC, but never commander with the DLC.
Also does implacable refund your last action? Like with my sniper he got implacable, when he killed someone with his pistol it looks like it gave him back a blue move but I might have used lightning hands

>>183315389
>What tier weapons/items do I need to do Shen's mission and the alien hunter one?

Tier 2 for Shen is about right. The enemies don't scale up so if you wait too long you'll get a really easy disappointing mission.

We really should put the answer to this queston into a pastebin. It's asked daily.

I would like to have sex with this female specimen on the aerodynamic body panels of that automobile.

How many squads do I need for Longdong 2? Right now I just have 3 stock squads of one of the 8 base classes each and am kitting out a third.

My plan is to make a 5th squad of supernumerary guys and use them to augment the others as needed or to serve as replacements.

Will that strategy work?

>>183316335
I run four squads of five (assault, ranger, specialist officer, gunner, grenadier) with a few backups of the classes most likely to take fire. The rest are psi ops, technicals, sharpshooters, shinobis and haven liaisons.

>>183316335
I have around 4 of each class, I don't really use the squads because of how people have to cycle out because of 30 day wounds from losing one health.

>>183317680
The wound behavior is different than vanilla. With the AWC I've seen 1 HP wounds only take someone out for 4-9 days.

>>183316335
You basically can't ever rely on your "squads" to be functioning wholes for most of the game. Too often you've got one or more people sitting out of a mission due to wound times, AWC training times, officer training times, infiltration times keeping 1 or more people out, etc.

So, 75% of the time your "squads" will consist of people from 3-5 other squads

>>183317889
I wasn't joking, even with awc that is still 15 days, which is 2-3 missions for a squad

>raid advent depot

OwO what's that?

>>183318147
You playing on Legend or something? My guys often come out with barely any vacation time.

I had two gravely wounded come out with 24 days. Maybe field surgeon is making the difference.

>>183318736
You go to an advent facility, grab stuff from boxes and leave before the doom reinforcements show up.

>>183316335
I run themed squads depending on whether I need a scalpel or a blunt tool.
High aoe damage/alpha strike abilities and mobility = my timer outrunning squad.
Sharpshooters + defensive rangers + quantity of area denial and general explosives = my troop column dismantling force.
Generally aim to have two of each to minimise downtimes, but later in the game I get a 3rd squad of blunt tools because of the amount of shit that gets thrown. Mix and match as needed on network towers, dlc missions and other non standard shit.

What time is TNX?
