Reasking from last thread

Which soldiers/classes should be priotirized for MECization? I've heard here that jaegers are trash while archers and pathfinders are top tier

File: new_tech_by_robogineer.png (4MB, 3840x2160px) Image search: [Google]

4MB, 3840x2160px

Pistols are Useful.

>>145790494
I'd go for archer

>>145790494
Archers are god tier, Goliaths are nigh-unkillable tanks when played right

>>145790494
Oh this is Long War? Well you heard right. Also consider Goliaths for tanks paired with a psionic support medic packing medkit perks/dank smoke/and mind merge (gives bonus DR based on will).

>>145790797
You don't even need the smoke and merge, a well built Goliath has crazy DR and health inherently.

>>145790709
>>145790735
>>145790797
Nice, I've got plenty of gunners and rocketeers

I know there's a minimum grade but do I wait for them to get the maximum grade or is it pointless to go past a certain one?

>>145791065
I'm aware, I'm just referencing this from someones experience with Impossible in B15.

>>145791118
I'm pretty sure you want these guys max ranked if possible.

>>145791236
Alright then

Any perks I shouldn't pass on? Not sure which to choose from Tandem/Javelin/Danger Zone for example

I assume Mayhem is essential

>>145791919
Perks don't carry to Mecs

>>145792267
Oh

So what's the point of waiting for maximum grade?

>>145791919
>Tandem/Javelin/Danger Zone
All of these are actually good, so its up to you. I think people prefer Tandem and Javelin the most

>Tandem
More AOE damage. That's good

>Javelin
With steady aim you can shoot 100% accurate rockets further then line of sight. Pair that with battlescanner/conceal scouts and you can iniate on pods with a rocket strike.

>>145792609
MECs level slower then standard soldiers, and often rely on having all their perks to fullfill their role. There are exceptions, but that's the general rule of thumb.

Archived so I don't ever have to type that all out again.

Unless you charged him into 2+ pods you better smoke rest of your team, ayys usually will target your other soldiers since they'll have bigger chaces to hit them than smoked tank.

And you don't want to make your bait/life saver useless while possibly sacraficing other squad mates.

Wow I didnt even know that these Advent posters were in the game.

>>145793734
The dank smoke is for your medic / nearby squad mates for the will boost.

>>145793876
Huh, I didn't either, that's pretty sweet.

>>145793948
I thought you mean smoking for the def bonus, my bad then.

>>145794352
Yeah I should have specified that the smoke is strictly for the will/DR bonus from mindmerge + bonus defense on squishies.

I wonder if we'll reach the last slot of page 10 again.

>>145795005
Take a guess

>>145793876
Are you sure that's not a mod? I never saw any...

>>145795414
Yes

Concealment, In the zone or Hit n run on a reflexes / lone wolf / low profile / battle scanner scout?

I'm sure I could be using her better than I am

>>145796282
Lone wolf and low profile should synergize good with hit and run since you'll be going out for flanks with them.

>>145796282
Sounds like the makings of a conceal scout.
Hit n' Run is always strong (action economy) for a combat scout.

Its a bit late to take ITZ since you passed up ranger and aggression. ITZ scouts are situational anyway.

>>145793876
I think they just got added by a mod no? Most maps?

>>145796681
Moar - fuckin autocorrect.

>>145796437
Yeah, I'm a bit wary of using her like that though since it oftens leads to "triggering" new pockets of ayys and then me getting roflstomped

>>145796571
I don't see concealment being much more than a gimmick, from the description, especially considering AI opponents have computer omniscience

I'm picturing a 5 snipers / 1 scout memeteam but wouldn't the scout get instantly flanked and killed the next turn?

Am I the only person who plays without showing enemy HP?

It feels like it.

>>145796993
Concealment means ultimate battefield intelligence. Its not a gimmick, specially for UFO missions. Its let's your Sniper and rocketeer get set up properly with steady aim, set up overwatch traps, not activate multiple pods. You can prepare for any situation. You should be working towards having an 8 man squad by the way.

>>145797067
Yes.

>>145797067
Yeah, I think so. The new games are so boardgamey and have much less range of damage than the original that I feel like I'm at a severe disadvantage if I turn it off.

>tfw no 300mm MEC-mounted guns in EW

>>145798795
Partially true - they don't like anything anthropomorphic, be it furry, scalie, or otherwise. Porn just gets it deleted faster. Porn that isn't furry/scalie/etc. tends to be overlooked.

>>145795558
>>145796681
>>145796786
They are in the game we had some body put all of them in an imgur im trying to find it at the moment

>>145799909
Its because people report furry porn, the mods/jannys only delete what gets reported, if you report any form of porn and it gets reported it'll be deleted and you'll probably get a warning or 3 day ban.

>>145800007
>They are in the game
I think the question is whether you could find the posters in-game on map, or if modded maps put them in. We know that their official X2 items from the game files.

Cower and pray the rest of the squad are good shots with the remaining ammo left.

The problem is in the Defend the Haven mode you cant evac for 12 turns while waves of enemies are incoming. Every shot counts. Have to have real good fire discipline and not take low percentage shots. I had 3 members go winchester on me that mission - made it rough to survive. I lost the 4 scripted rookies that reinforce during the fighting.

>>145804739

There is no LW for 2 yet, no one has done enough of an overhaul type mod. That wont come for some time if ever. It's a weakness of the modding scene that everyone wants to be modular. It makes balancing difficult as its left up to the user to juggle.

These are the two mods I mentioned.

Honestly its such garbage and the description actually tries to make it sound good so go ahead and feel free to cheat. No one will judge you on this one.

The way to do it is just add a perk using the XCOM in-game console. You have to add them during a tactical mission. You'll have to look up how to do it though, I've kinda forgotten.

Every time they update the mod with a new plot it's always a catastrophe. There's almost always holes in the map, cover not working or in their newest plot, which they removed, pods weren't showing up. And it always takes them 2-3 updates of the map to fix it.

It's obvious they have no idea what they're doing and should probably stop while they're ahead

Assuming you're on Normal, make sure you hunker down in half cover if your odds of hitting an Ayy are low.

Snipers are extemely strong once they get squadsight, you just have to baby them till then. Explosives never miss. If you ever feel like your in a pickle (read, someone might die) don't hesitate to use your nades/rockets.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?

Anyway, wash the wound and get a cloth to stem the bleeding. If it's something worthy of stitches, call 911 or whatever emergency number your country utilizes.

Otherwise wait until the bleeding stops, then if you have neosporin or some antiseptic put it on the wound. I hope those scissors aren't rusty.

Oh yea I followed some of those, they were pretty comfy. The only thing is that what he did actually takes alot of effort. Playing the game and the taking the time to screenshot and then recap isn't easy. Alot of missions are pretty business as usual as well.
I won't promise anything, but if things are slow and I have a missions coming up that I think is interesting I'll consider posting them.

As for this particular picture, its actually a faction known as the Mercenaries. They employ the same synthetic fiber weave whatever nonsense orginal xcom mutons used for their armor. Its lightweight and has excellent resistance to piercing/ballistic weapons (.6 damage multiplier). They are extremely tough and have good melee skills as well, so sometimes they have daggers, axes, or mono-claws paired with pistols.

My first run in with them almost ended with the entire squad being killed, only 3 soldier survived. This time I brought energy weapons and was able to take them down relatively cleanly. I still don't mess with them too much because they usually have plasma weapons on top of their very good aim, reactions, and health.

Yep, Mutant Progroms. The Culling of the mutant population by different hostile factions.

PirateZ takes place in a universe where x-com failed, which if you've seen the defeat screen, most of the entire worlds populations are turned into mutants. "Pure" blood humans are now a minority. The earth is ruled by the ethereals through proxy by several major factions. Your just some rogue factions off to ruin the major factions days with your freedom, looting, and killing. Since your mutant pirates, your in an alliance with the Free Mutants, and purely buisness alliance with smuggles, and are paid protetction money by the local governments to not raid their stuff (which you still can if you want to).

As for your pic we did come to the conclusion that someone was making Jeagers to fight the TFtD aliens for the sequel.

>>145832543
generally opening with grenade is not a bad idea. Opening with a hack seems a bit odd since even after that pod scatters, it won't change your hack chances, and may even make you decide to take a different course of action once you see where they go. I don't really know your squad composition though,so its hard to give advice.

You mean classic difficulty? I mean, most of the differences between x-com difficulties usually boil down to more enemies and better stats. Being lucky always pays off, but the more sound your tactics, the less times you have to rely on luck.

Christ, only 3% of people played legend? I wonder if the guy who balanced it feels bad no one is playing his game.

Probably not too badly, chances are he helped balance out the other difficulties as well. Its kind of amazing when you can have a game that in the public eye is hard, difficult, and "hardcore," yet the game literally cheats in your favor on the standard difficulties. I guess that makes the Firaxis team geniuses in some sense.

Blue flashlight, didn't bother making a unique one i just stole the default flashlight conventional weapons use and made it blue, why blue? Dunnolol.

As for the reticle thing i mentioned before, i got a response on the Nexus forums and this is what i was told:

>The reticles are set via XComGameState_Ability:GetUIReticleIndex. There is currently no way to extend or replace them (short of entirely replacing that UI element - which is handled in UITacticalHUD).

Now, i don't know anything about anything but from what i can decipher from that is that changing the reticles is either impossible, borderline impossible, or not worth the time and effort.

I found a line in the script file thing that can change what reticle the weapon uses though, the line however just says

>Template.WeaponTech = 'beam';

Which isn't particularly descriptive, by changing it to conventional or magnetic you get the other reticles but i have no idea if that line changes anything else, i would want it to use the magnetic reticle but if it breaks something it'll have to stay using the plasma ayy looking one.

All right that settles it. I don't care that the "logistics" don't work out, clearly Firaxis intended Advent burgers to be soylent green. I mean, it was always obvious, but there is no doubt in my mind anymore.

Does anyone else find it more fun to fuck up and see how best you can unfuck yourself than to have completely clean fights where you're never in any danger?

I shit myself everytime a sectopod or a gatekeeper busts down the door, or I trigger two pods of ADVENT trying to melee something, but it feels so good to successfully pull out of that nosedive.

You might be thinking of me, 945 images guy who was gone for 2 months or so. I found an archive of /vg/ from the time that I was gone, so RIP my life while I grab everything from there that I missed. Then I'll upload the compilation.

Hmmmm, I wonder what this smuggler ship is inspired by.

>>145839904
I'll be curious to see if I missed anything myself. I'm sure there will be a good deal.

Holy shit, I found the thread that made me quit the general, and the last post I made that I barely remember.

It's a good thing I'm drunk for this, because that thread was an absolute fucking shit show. Worse than any of the latest threads.

>That's really fucking weird.

I figured it out, it was because the specular and roughness values were set too high on the material settings.

I don't know why it had that effect on only that particular screen but at least i know how to fix it.

Hmmm yes, when airgame and prude posters squared off again air game haters and prudefags. I remember this now. Nice to see the doom and gloom posters where wrong, you kind of forget, but its a small victory.

This plus the next thread is actually what motivated me to work on some stuff to get /xcg/ back on track.

>>145842086
There was some talk of that, though ultimately they said "if we make enough money of of PC we will consider a port." We still don't know what the console port will look like, its being worked on by a 3rd party studio.

And then the thread starts posting high res images like the one I've been looking for!

Goddamn, seems like you have to wade through the designated shitting streets to get anything of value on 4chan.

I will repost anything else I find that's immediately of interest. The rest will go in the upload.

Just in case this album ever disappears, I also found the pic related tip in the old thread and it seems to work even for the ones they didn't post (e.g. DeadSectoids, DeadAdvent).

Now that's what I call danger close. 1 tile margin o error. Baby Nukes are no joke, I could have dumpstered the entire mission right there.

I'm trying some new tactics vs. the mercenaries right now, the most obvious being setting the entire map on fire with nukes. Not much of a night mission anymore.

>UFO unharmed

>>145846235
I haven't been aiming at the UFO, its too close to my ship, though I'm pretty sure that it still would be unharmed. Fusion torches can cut through and those deal 225 dmg to a single point.

Baby nukes are like 120 explosive damage, but they have huge AOE and set everything on fire. Believe or not a mercenary already survived a blast that was only 5 tiles away.

>>145846460
Pretty much. The two barns are almost gone. Honestly I'm just kind of letting loose this mission. These things are rare, and I can't reproduced them. But I rarely have situations where they aren't overkill, or the map isn't open enough. I'm also using an upgraded minigun, UAC plasma guns, Canister launchers that fire acid rounds, a sniper rifle with acid rounds, and some Heavy Gauss, everyone else has laser Tommies.

>>145846671
You just go to go for it man, ignore a mission if you have too.
