I'm enjoying Commander difficulty, but admittedly even though I'm only up to mid May, its feeling a little easy.
Although, I've done some save scumming here and there though (mostly just sudden full cover crit deaths that booty bothered me) so maybe I just need to not be as big of a bitch and let it be harder just through that.

I've never done Ironman though, maybe I should start over and turn that on instead of going to Legendary.
I'd worry about unfair shitty bugs ruining the experience though.

So how do I get a spark to show up in training center? Cycling doesn't seem to be working.

>>188326773
As a former relentless savescummer that eventually broke the habit and learned to love the struggle of Impossible/Legend, you really do just have to let everything happen. The more I savescummed, the more that it felt like I wasn't even playing a game, I was just solving a puzzle where you can always just rearrange a piece if it doesn't fit the first time. I got bored fast. Sometimes you'll be surprised how many losses you can take and still power through.
Try the EU Aim Rolls mod if you're getting tired of the crits, XCOM 2's default system makes crits happen more often especially in full cover.

>>188326773
save scumming in legend also makes it a breeze.

next time try letting your mistakes be punished and it'll feel awesome if you can get yourself out of the shit situation. A couple deaths or failed missions won't ruin the campaign anyways. Play how you want tho it's 2017 after all

>>188327297
Forgot to mention, it'll also make you a much better play. I used to make so many shitty moves and dashes because I'd go "oh not fair" if I revealed something and savescummed. You'll learn to drop that fast when it's losing you campaigns very early on.

I FUCKING HATE T2 PLATED ARMOR I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

So you can't break warlock's mind control?

>>188326791
It really depends on group comp and skills your troops have. I went in same level as you, except with ONE plasma rifle, though the guy barely shot it, so it doesn't make that much a difference.

Anyway, as long as your group comp is solid, you can handle most anything it throws at you in there. Final rooms were easy since I have a Ranger with both Chain Shot and Rapid Fire and Mox just keeps giving him actions to pump out the damage. Nothing survives for long.

Am I the only one that hates the look of the T3 weapons?

Did they make psionics harder to reach? I haven't a single one in my roster and I just realized nobody's even mentioned them in a long while

Still the same sectoid autopsy->psionics->build psi lab->put rookie in microwave and learn magic powers

>>188327917
It's because the Hero classes make them less incentivized to get. You are also building a lot of other things. So while it isn't hard to get, you would be delaying thing you might need. A psi rush in vanilla was possible and while it might be in WotC, it's less viable.

I don't think you'll find any who disagrees, thankfully there's plenty of cosmetic mods that are wotc compatible now.

Strange, he should have at least tried to move away. I know when he can't grapple he tends to run out of Line of Sight. Maybe his pathing got bugged out and he thought he couldn't move. I've had units do that, just sit in the open and shoot after being grenaded.

I'd do this. Nothing burns you out quicker than bashing your head against legendary. Get the hang of not savescumming, play a moderately challenging campaign, have the satisfaction of a victory under you belt and familiarity with all the new mechanics before moving on.

Do proxy mines break concealment when they go off?

Psi-Ops are really difficult to get now. You need to go Ring -> Hospital before you can even start. You need psionics research. You need early game elerium to build the psi chamber. If you go ring -> hospital -> psilab, then that means no gts, training, proving grounds, resistance comms, etc.

What exactly is the difference between V-Sync and Framerate Smoothing options?

Did WOTC make bleedouts more likely? In vanilla I got like one bleedout per 100 hours of play but every other soldier in WOTC seems to bleedout instead of die. Not using the resistance order either.

I'm surprised. Rapid Fire is still the most damaging ability you could possibly have by then. Why did you decide against it? Tell me the Grenadier at least as Rupture.

>>188329691
Two completely different things. V-sync locks the game to your monitors refresh rate to prevent screen tearing. Framerate Smoothing tries to dynamicly adjust settings to make sure the framerate stays somewhat concistant rather the a jittering mess.

Tags don't work with the SDK unless you manually go and edit a file, most people don't know this because it isn't supposed to work that way, so people put tags on their mod, but the SDK doesn't uh "upload" them i guess unless they are manually added.

And a lot of people that know don't go through the effort of adding tags because it takes effort. In other words, tags are useless and there are thousands of tagless mods buried in there.

It and Chain shot have the same Aim Malus, so nothing is different. Just the fact that you have the other skill when the other is on cooldown. My Ranger has both as well, it's pretty nice.

I would actually have been more pleased if they had buffed Demolition, since using grenades for cover destruction can be a bad idea when it comes to the Lost.

Definitely wanted all my hero classes, specialist was needed for heals, sharpshooter is my highest ranking, and grenadier for Chosen's blast weakness. With the weapon mods on the Skirmisher's bullpup (along with bond extra action), she could outdo my ranking ranger.

>>188331026
I tried to expand as soon as I could since that means extra supplies. While that was always a good thing in vanilla, it's actually a little bad now, since it means you might 'activate' a new chosen and they can start messing with you and gathering information.

So I would say just do it once you feel comfortable with it. Resistance orders can take care of Avatar Progress, so almost no reason to try to B-line for facilities. Only reason to expand and find new chosen is so that you can start hunting them, which might net you a free promotion, which is a huge power increase.

>>188331256
I got lucky and my Ranger rolled Chain shot and Rupture. So he had to come, 3 extra damage and then Mox can give him extra actions for 5 attacks total? I would be crazy not to.

How can templars compete? How can skirmishers not selfdelet in shame at being so sucky?

>>188326776

Not yet, aside from Fair Lost Targeting that's all we've got I think. I've been a bit disappointed with the Lost so far, their AI seems to be all over the place. I love a three-way battle so much but there's almost no way to make any coherent strategy with the Lost getting involved. I've had swarms spawn right behind the group of ADVENT I'm fighting but they often just run through and go straight for my guys most of the time.

I just want to be able to pull my guys back and let them tear each other apart without about half of their guys breaking off and coming after my guys who are further away and on full health. Would make more sense for them to swarm the nearest unit or the one with the lowest HP

Hopefully there's an overhaul for their behaviour soon. I'd love to do it myself but I'm a brainlet

>>188332474

I love templars, they are amazing at being decoys if you can't kill a pod, just parry bruh.

Skirmishers are a bit underwhelming, they are the best of the 3 against the Lost but that's not much.

Does the improved swords breakthrough buff templars too?

So my sharpshooter got the Xcom skill that put her in hunker down automatically if she doesn't move.

Not him but I never got into LW2 myself. It had a lot of cool ideas it brought to the table like dedicated squads and infiltration, but it suffered the same as LW1 from the idea that the way to raise difficulty was to shove more numbers in there. It felt more bloated and tedious than tactical.

The squad system would be real nice as a solo mod though.

>>188333192
You misred the skill, it's if you don't take an offensive action. So if you dash, you will hunker, or if you move and overwatch, you will hunker.

Pretty much. It only takes a single action to fire his rifle, if you have been paying attention to him moving and shooting. This means you can move, overwatch, auto hunker, get the aim bonus. Now throw steady hands on top of that and if you don't move and just overwatch, you have a +30 aim, if you have been throwing your aim bonuses from Covert Ops on your sniper, you will never miss with him.

Can anyone give me some tactical advice for this game?
Even normal + ironman difficulty is giving me a hard time, I feel like there is something very obvious I'm doing wrong..
What are the most important facilities you guys build right away?
Do you try to get like 6-8 very strong soldiers, or do you try to split the XP as evenly as possible?

Best advice to give is imo abuse grenades, especially flashbangs and smoke grenades. I haven't played WotC yet but they do wonders in vanilla game

Alright my Mox got captured on a covert mission months ago in game & i've yet to get a mission to free him again. Can your soldiers just get melted down to meld & not get an option to be saved?

>>188334260

Alien Rulers look really stupid and their armor looks even stupider. Archon King is especially lazy. It's just a fucking red Archon.

>>188334987

I thought he was a joke in my first playthrough of WOTC, but in my second one he rolled ignore overwatch, and overwatch at the end of his turn. He fucked me hard when he kept grappling away to rooftops and flanking me

>>188326572

If you go through Lost and Abandoned and farm lost for a while, you can have an easy sergeant before the first retaliation. The only tough part would be not being able to take them on the mission due to their weariness, but having 5 people is worth it.

>>188334987
He is good on a good map. Open spaces and a lot of roofs to grapple to are fucking annoying.

But as always, he needs to roll immunity to explosions, otherwise you know what happens.

>love the new rescue missions
>chosen never capture my dudes, only gives them the succ and bails

It's bullshit that I haven't played it outside of Lost and Abandoned. Also Chosen are easy to deal with, just let them drain one of your soldiers. The knowledge gain is pretty paltry compared to their natural rate.

Does anyone know if there is a mod that prevents the game from fucking up all my customizations whenever I switch armor?
Even when I upgraded to plated armor, everyone was fucked up.

>giving up information to the enemy

You should be shot and quartered.

>>188335373
>he needs to roll immunity to explosions, otherwise you know what happens.

Immunity to explosions doesn't stop them from taking falling damage, status effect damage, or stop you from taking flanking shots once you destroyed their cover. Grenades are still incredibly useful even with that.

>>188335478
Can I get this image but as a Chosen.
The resemblance is uncanny.

>>188334987

Whether or not the Hunter is hard is entirely dependent on the map. If it's flat, he's easy. In a city, however, the fucker WILL get flanking shots on your guys every single turn.

>>188335478
use the uniforms mod and just save all your customizations per soldier / load them when you upgrade

when the cover opt says it will give AP
are we talking xcom AP or soldier AP?
and will it be only for both soldiers or just the first one?

>>188335497

I think Anon just wants to play the stealth rescue mission again.

>>188335550
Fall damage is pitiful compared to their massive healthpools, so is taking 3 damage from status effects every turn. And thank god you can get flanking on them.

You sound like you want another Alien Ruler fiasco. The simply fact is that if they dont have the trait, they will get the claymore sandwitch.

>>188335145
In my first playtrough the stealth bitch ignored overwatch. that was all kinds of not fun.

>>188335697

She always gets ignore overwatch if you enable the WOTC story mission, otherwise she gets random ones.

She didn't get ignore OW, and her being melee made her so easy.

Check the modpage for the T2 XCOM EU/EW imports, I had the same problem.

Mod author had the great idea of using the new torso-gear option introduced by WoTC on normal soldiers. And it is a pretty cool idea because you can get some neat pairings of the base torso + gear.

However it fucking breaks anyone who was wearing it back when it was all just torso options instead. There's a fix for it in the comments/ mod description that will let you unfuck your soldiers.

>even the miscreants respect the Elder's most loyal champion

So i came back to Xcom 2 to play the expansion/DLC and i kept anxiously preparing for the alien base assault where they appear inside your ship.

But it never came, long ass campaign on commander difficulty, but nothing happened and now im at the alien fortress.

Did they remove it or what?

>>188326135

>>188341405

I dont mean the chosen invasion, i mean the old Xcom 2 alien base assault from their gate.

From before the DLC

Or did they change it so the assault only comes in the DLC when the knowledge is full and works the same way just with a chosen added as opponent?

>2 snipers, 2 rangers, 10 alloys

do I pick mag pistols or mag rifles?

>>188341490
Anon, I think you're thinking of XCOM Enemy Within. The closest there is to a base assault is when the Avenger is caught by a UFO in this and you have to run out, destroy the EMP spike, and run back to the ramp.

>>188341490

The "alien base assault from their gate" sounds like the final mission. In XCOM 2, the Avenger gets shot down by a UFO and a defense mission starts, but that's it.

I didn't watch any trailers of EW before it was released and didn't read anything about it and was very surprised when the base defense mission came up. That transition to that mission from globe was great. Easily one of my best experiences in video games. It's a shame vanilla XC2 didn't have any moments like that. Does WotC have any?

You can flashbang it to reduce movement speed or freeze bomb it to stun it for a couple of actions

Stacking damage over time stuff like burn, acid and poison is super good since the damage happens on every ruler reaction.

They should bring decorations back.

If you got the chosen sniper rifle then you really cant go wrong with Reaper spotter and a sniper.

You got commander for the psi department, a heavy for shreds and a ranger/templar for melee rush. I prefer ranger lategame tho, templar seems to be best in early/mid game.

A medic if shit goes crazy and the last spot is kinda up to you. I took skirmisher because he got some neat tools lategame and, well, he is badass

After that generally do whatever, early game is too important. Training center isn't worth it early due to no bonds or AP. Infirmary is very good if you have a flexible/spare engineer.

I'm about to get fucked by the avatar project. For some reason, only 1 route is available to get to the advent bases in yurop, which requires me to go through south america, australia, asia before I can get there. Why can't I go from north america to western yurop?

The answer to this is obvious: The Commander knows. He saw it all in his time in the suit in that tank plugged into the ADVENT matrix.

And he knows he can beat it. He's better than the Elders. He's better than the Chosen. He's better than their commanders and their officers and anyone humanity has to offer. XCOM 2 is about the Commander, a man so absurdly skilled that he canonically beats the game on Legendary, taking down the entire ADVENT machine by himself, with a handful of retarded rookies and a flying boat piloted by an idiot like Bradford.

He knows what is coming, but unlike the Elders, he knows that HE is the one who should be in control when it happens. He hasn't even bothered telling his subordinates because they're all idiots. Tygan is a burger addict, Shen is a retard, Bradford is an alcoholic. Why even bother talking to them? They'll obey him no matter what, because he's the only person capable of doing the job they all want him to do.

The inevitable aftermath of the game is that he ends up running the world. And then, whenever Space Cthulhu shows up, it will be facing him. Not some incompetent distant Elders, not the Warlock, not the Assassin. Him. And a squadron of five Colonels.

And that is all that will be necessary.

Upgraded Sectoid. A real faggot.

So how does tired work?

Your squad gets more easily panicked and stuff when they are depleted?

>>188344016
The guaranteed templar mobility (as opposed to implacable), the fuckery with switching units and, if you get a bit lucky, fortress + reaper + sustain means you can just run around the battlefield without worrying too much, killing what needs to be killed, fucking with the AI by "flanking" them.

Much prefer that to a ranger even lategame. And I didnt even roll bladestorm on mine. Would make him probably beyond OP.

>>188344818
How do you kill more than two enemies with reaper? Shinobi in LW2 was absurd due to flenche, but rend doesn't have nearly the damage power.

>>188344476
>yfw you realize the Commander is 40k's God Emperor and the XCOM events is where he developped is burning hatred for xeno scum

>>188344784
That and they get shaken which cause they to permanently gain (unless treated) negative side effects, Basically PTSD and you treat them to be able to deal with it.

>>188344784
Characters that dip below the threshold of tired have a chance of gaining a negative trait at the end of combat. Characters who dip from tired to exhausted can't be brought on missions anymore. Will also affects your resistance to certain enemy psi attacks.

>>188344871
You dont kill them entirely, you finish them off, I use it to not waste damage (=actions) on nearly dead enemies.

My record is 5 heavy MECs in one turn. Fun times.

Is the priest supposed to get his turn right after sustain?

>>188344954

Yeah but what about ON the mission?

My reaper suddently got panicked from squadmate getting shot, but he had no negative quirks, but i noticed he had 20% meter left in stamina or whatever.

So i wondered what effects there are on the mission itself

>>188345006
Yes and its incredibly unfair. Cant even DoT him, since it procs before sustain ends. You have to kill him with overwatch or any of the skills that proc with enemies entering melee range. Fun.

>>188344871
You finish off low health enemies. I had a recording too long to make a decent webm of with a reaper ranger in Vanilla going ham in the final fight

>>188344871

Reaper is just there to scout or fool around while the rest of your team does the heavy work.

You use him as a spotter for snipers and overwatch traps, and as a finisher from the flank

Early game his explosions can do some work solo tho.

This would be the best possible plot twist. Someone send this to Jake.

My game always stops moving to the next unit when I kill a Chosen? Does anyone know a fix?

Gonna finish off this campaign. Fun, but once the chosen are down it's basically vanilla XCOM2 except you're OP as shit. That Ranger there? Maxed out move speed due to missions, alongside Reaper AND Serial. Shit is bananas. Her squadmate is basically just brought along because those two extra teamwork actions are often worth two more soldiers on their own.

why did they make it so that the only ways to level hacking naturally are through random +20 hacks that may or may not be successful?
I mean it's a good thing I found hacking plus (and tweaked the numbers so the gain is lower but still) but you'd think hacking would be a little more easy to obtain

>>188334095
I love the chrysallid due to it's lore

No, the Commander's avatar, which they use as a vessel.

Commander vs his own Avatar in the final showdown.

Thanks to wotc you can buff hacking through covert operations

>>188345640
Covert Ops sometimes give a boost to hacking as a reward, there's nothing stopping you from stacking it if it shows up.

>>188345903

>40 health
>103 dodge
>29 mobility

What are these cheat mods

Any good powered armor cosmetic you guys use? I am just about to research it and while on commander, I would stay in predator all game, I dont think I want to do that on legend.

>>188346021
It's called Covert Ops rewards if you use only 1 bonded team for the entire game and put all the rewards on 1 soldier

Lancers is the easy choice, you can easily focus fire. Pray for no savage sitreps.

Ohh shit that templar ending

They know

So it's been a week, surely some of you firaxis shills have come to your senses regarding war of the Chosen.

Doing the final mission with all 3 chosen alive, This is going to be fun.

Model Aligned and resized, time for weighting.

There's no point in prioritizing the gatekeeper autopsy if I don't have the two corpses you need for the alien PSI amp right?

>>188347131
They don't, they attack you while you progress through the first part of the mission. Assassin just showed up

>>188347245

Yep. It's one corpse for the autopsy and another for the psi amp. So 2 total.
