How you doin cycloposter ? Did you see the new chapter of monmusu about cyclops girl ?
I am ashamed i forgot her name

>>143777926
Her name's Manako and yeah, I saw the quick translation version. I'm waiting for the FwPA translation though.

I'm more of a Nurse Hitomi guy, but the mangaka for Nurse Hitomi is referenced in the Manako chapter, so tis all good.

>>143778139

And there i can see i don't read things properly. Welp, time for a reread

There's still a chance for us now lads.
it's not over till it's over.

>>143778525
Hee hee

the design of one of the guys following Manako is based off the mangaka for Nurse Hitomi. Would post it, but am on phone

It's not over guys. There is a small chance we can advance. Worst case we need to play another match

Hey, I'm a filthy pirate so I can't use Steam Workshop, but Beagle's Wave COM mod looks pretty great and I'd like to give it a shot.

Regardless, all we can make are mere imitations. EXALT, their unflinching zeal for the encoder, cheeky static and glitchy maneuvers are forever lost to time.
Modders are more interested in porting shit over from other games adding in more and more tacticool operator gear, and lord knows what Jake and his boys are thinking anymore.

>>143786049
What's the last DLC? Shen's Gift or some shit?

So going with the rest of the clown shit theme, it will include some dumb cyberpunk/robotic mixed shit to look like metal mixed into the soldiers.

I get what you're saying, but I feel like it's kinda hard to ruin cyberpunk/robotics. Even if they just slap glowsticks onto trenchcoats for our soldiers, it'd still look better than the last two DLCs.

Just admit it. There's nothing to be ashamed about, we're only making fun of you a little because it makes for good banter. I don't agree with you but you're part of the general same as me - we just enjoy different things in our armor design and that's a-okay. I just don't shitpost about my tastes for entire threads on end.

>>143789529
I don't believe you, if you are telling the truth stop imitating my husbando

>>143788340
Thanks anon, also noticed ODST armors were strangely missing even though I added them last night! Check again and see if everything is showing up for you.

Also removed a few redundant bugfixes from there.

Thanks for pointing out stuff I miss, it's large enough that it can get pretty hard to keep track of everything.

>>143789795
We had a discussion about the DLC, opinions on it and pretty much him the other day and he didn't show his head, so i presume my one true love left to go on a long and arduous journey and then returned after countless hours to go "jake is shit at dlc"

It's Just a Scratch doesn't seem to be packaged correctly, but it's on the recommended mods list.

Real talk here the fact that the xcom soldier aesthetics are so garbage has been the main reason why I haven't been able to finish the game.

How did they go so far backwards from EU?

>>143789937
The Predator mod is also in the Mega, but not the Pastebin for some reason.

>>143790403
>It's Just a Scratch doesn't seem to be packaged correctly
How do you mean, in the MEGA or in general? I'm using it in my current campaign and it's working completely as intended.

Also, for anyone who cares I added three missing bugfixes to the MEGA whilst I was updating it anyway.

It's not like I can prove it to you, but seriously, I'm not that guy.

I'm not saying that the cosmetics can't be made to look alright, but by and large they're pretty bleh.

It's also kinda hard the use the angle of "Resistance winning the hearts and minds of the people" when you're going around in sleeveless, spiked armor, skinning aliens and wearing them, and mounting the heads of ADVENT soldiers in the armory.

I understand that Jake wants to stand out and have his DLCs feel distinct from all the operator and supersoldier-style cosmetic mods, but they just look so... bad. And hardly fitting, even for a resistance.

Can still look nice though. Pic related.

>>143790596
ok

>>143790674
I presume its because Predator mod is otherwise impossible to obtain but not actually recommended.

>>143790681
I downloaded it from the Nexus, couldn't find it on the MEGA. Where'd you get it? Workshop?

>>143790737
I still think you're that guy.

Hey MEGAanon, I'm sorry to keep bugging you but it seems like WaveCOM might be packaged incorrectly, unless I'm missing something. There's no .XComMod file. I think that might be the source code rather than the packaged mod.

Alright so I checked the Pastebin and I forgot to add embarassingly many mods to the MEGA when updating Pastebin. Sorry about that, torrentfriends. Here are all the ones I added now, to my knowledge the two lists are now 100% synced.
>Chooseable Starting Soldiers
>Expanded Mission Names
>Fix Spawned Unit Ability Initialization
>Mind Control Insanity Duration Fix
>ARMAT M4A1 Pulse Rifle
>Moonbase Alpha Voice Pack
>AK-47 Assault Rifle
>Bladestorm Customization

Some mods that've been there for a while might be out of date - let me know if you run into any issues with the older ones and I'll be sure to slap in an updated version.

>>143790789
Yeah, workshop. Presumably the Nexus version's been borked since AH and not been updated.

>>143790674

Is there any way to turn OFF nicknames? Like if I don't want any of my soldiers to have nicknames/call signs. It seems like once they get one, you can't turn it off, only give them a different one.

This any good?

So I was reading the description for A Better Advent and he mentioned that in the last patch they changed things so that only ADVENT Captains can be the leader for a pod of ADVENT. This means MECs can no longer lead pods and won't appear until the point in the game the MEC followers are allowed in pods.

>>143797689
I'm hoping some anon will post the standard copypaste for troubleshooting, that's the one i'd recommend. I think it's in the workshop collection description

>>143795948

>>143805160
Used correctly they're insanely good. You can wade into a field of ayys that would have caused serious trouble for your squad, mind merge and one for all and have most of the attacks get DRed to 0. They also get decent accuracy and have stupidly high amounts of health at the end

>>143800462
Ya, but evidently that is the reason the you don't see MECs until basically late game. MECs can only become pod followers around the same time that Elite MECs show up. It isn't a subtle plan to introduce Shen's Last Gift, Jake just "fixed" his game.

I saw someone using this cosmetic mod and thought it looked perfect for some of my team members, but it has some clipping issues. The screenshots I saw didn't have this issue. I tried giving them different leg options, etc. but none of them really fix it.

You could try the X-Files mod. The idea is balancing it to play through missions with a single soldier. I never used it though, so no promises.

What is your favorite enemy from XCOM2, and what is one thing you would change about them?

I love the Andromedon. I remember shitting myself the first time I saw one get back up. As for something I would change, I would get it a gun that shoots acid blobs. Make the Hazmat Suit actually worth something.

>>143837951

The Andromedon already does that anon.

>>143837951
Andromedons are my favorites too, there is something on that hulking suit trying to use half cover that makes me smile

>>143838774
It has that AoE, but I mean instead of its gun it has a fucking hose.

>>143837951
>>143839006

My favorite is also probably the Andromedon, it's so cool.

The Archons are also pretty cool.

I want a fire Andromedon. Andromedon ruler.

>>143839372
how about an andromedon ruler has an actual combat suit instead than just an environmental one

She went on her own and found some super aliens the Ethereals left in a storage container. She decides to experiment on them and make them even stronger because SCIENCE. Predictably they escape. She leaves a warning beacon that can't be heard outside the facility saying to stay away. When the aliens broke containment she decide to leave and go do more unethical experiments somewhere else.

She also made super weapons that you find at some point.

This game was called one of the deepest strategy games in the market. Is that true at fucking all? Is it any good? Would I be better of playing on of the older ones or enemy within?

>>143858238
shiiiiiieeet
>inb4 this is in Long Dong 2

>>143859685
I'm not really certain I would call it one of the deepest strategy games on the market. Most people enjoy it. The ones who don't tend to complain about the fact that most of your missions are time based - you get a limited amount of turns to complete them. It would be fine if it happened every once in a while, but it can honestly add up to be like 60-70% of the game where you're on a timer.

UFO: Enemy Unknown (XCOM: UFO Defense) with the OpenXCom tends to be a pretty popular pick for people who enjoy the games as a whole. It's a bit more in-depth than XCom EU/EW or XCOM 2. Enemy Within is fun as well, but 2 did add a lot of improvements. The workshop support alone makes 2 very nice as you can customize it with a great deal of mods that significantly enhance the gameplay (most are just cosmetic, but you can do stuff like turn off timers if you want).

Try XCOM with OpenXCom. If you like that, you'll probably like XCom EW or 2.

Thanks fampai. This actually helped.

>>143859947
I'd just point out that Long War is a big draw for the genuine strategy fans - if you end up enjoying EW, move on to that mod. It's the most extensive and enjoyable overhaul mod I've ever played, although it can get a bit heavy-handed on the RNG with its airgame even for me. Try it out, and don't be afraid to mod it.

Here's a suprisingly good video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ziuxYNdicU

Someone should make this suit or at least the helmet.

>>143897915
I guess the logic is that the RNG represents accuracy from 1-100 so if you're super accurate and roll a 100 you hit a crit but if you're only mildly accurate you get a dodge memed, the issue crops up when dodge, hit and crit are squished in to 99-100 due to full cover so everything that hits is a crit.

>>143897915
Ya, I don't like it either. I use the EU Roll mod to change it back to a two roll system. Actually, I never checked but that mod might make it a three roll system (hit, crit, dodge)

>>143898037
The VA in that game was neat, I liked how as the game progressed the callouts went from professional and clean to aggressive and sweary.

>>143898821
Yeah, it would be great if the player had a visual representation like the hacking interface (even if it was just a cone of fire that the closer you are to 100 the closer it is) but it feels like something one programmer thought would be a great idea and then just implemented it without thinking it through more.

So I just finished my Alien Hunters playthrough. It has been awhile since I finished a mostly vanilla campaign, but I didn't remember 6 ayy pods on the final level. I was able to breeze through the Avatars thanks to the Hunter weapons and armors though.

Are you guys saying it should be under XCOM2 to the left?

>>143902689
>>143902896
I got Alien Hunters and that seemed to fix it.

>>143909160
I was trying out some new mods and wanted to make sure I could continue if they broke my game. Which turned out good because the game told me a grenade would hit an enemy and it instead hit the air directly in front of my grenadier.

>>143914242
I don't know how to do one

>>143914368
You can't force a dynamic IP as its ISP side, if you have one rebooting the router (sometimes requires leaving it off for a few hours) will change your I, otherwise theres nothing you can do.

Is it possible to download earlier versions of mods of the Steam workshop? An essential mod I'm using recently updated, and now it doesn't work.

>>143914869
No unfortunately. Which one is it?

>>143915010

Disable More VO (superior to Quiet Bradford/Stop Wasting My Time IMO). It doesn't appear to be on the Nexus.

Maybe a pure slut

Just because she's a slut doesn't mean she's not pure. She just has a healthy holographic sex drive.

Yooooooooooooo, let's go. I'm ready.

>>143918940
When is that next game?

>>143920339
Sometime in June. Not announced yet.

>>143920561
Cool. Does anyone know if there are any mods that change what type of enemies you can get from reinforcement pods? I want to see a squad of mutons jump down to fuck shit up.

I like squads which use the Halo armors, because they look cool as shit, but I'm getting pretty tired of literal ODSTs/spartans tbqh

I think it's because most of the armor design in the base game is pretty generally boring and it's more fun to play Halo: Tactics.

There's always Hot Pants Chief if you prefer.

>>143924739
No I like the armors but when the vast majority of screenshots are literally ODSTs/Spartans that's even more unoriginal to me. Mix it up a little with the helmets and shit, at least

I think it all comes down to what people have the most fun with. If a person has the most fun playing ODST RNG, then that's fine. If they have more fun playing short-shorts master chief >>143924962 then that's fine too.

I like operatan.

>>143925369
Absolutely play with what's fun to you but if you're going to be an IMAGE LIMIT THIEF try to bring something mildly original/interesting to the table instead of "Spartans on squad selection screenshot #629458282118"

So is there any way to recreate Training Roulette in XCOM 2?

That was my favorite thing in XCOM 1.

to be fair, i've had this thread open for hours and we almost got deleted for inactivity until that "post em" came. may be unoriginal but it saved the thread
