We got the old thread right

also first for snek

So I'm playing UFO Defense for the first time, am I supposed to be losing troops on a regular basis? Every landing I loose 3 or 4 people and nobody lives long enough to make it past Sergeant.

>>146857175
Yeah, your dudes are going to die a lot. The original games soldiers are basically an army of redshirts with big guns and copious amounts of explosives.

WW1 GEAR IN XCOM 2 WHEN

D

STOP RIGHT THERE YOU

>>146857175
Definitely expect casualties, but also know that near flawless missions are possible. If you really nail the game down you can clear most routine ufo sweeps with 0-2 casualties regularly. Don't forget to abuse smoke, it shortens/blocks LOS, so you can literally BREAK LOS on demand. This is insanely powerful because if the aliens don't see you on their turn the can't activate their kill switch and continue to use their patrol AI that just makes them wander around the map mostly aimlessly always ending their turn with approximately half their time units (for reaction fire).

>>146865656
Women weren't in the draft, they shouldn't be in the games. Modern combat? Sure, whatever. They have some combat roles there... I think? Or at least in hazard zones. Not sure about how much they're actually put in live combat situations.

Are you implying that somehow won't sell well? I don't necessarily agree on that point, but even if that was true, the biggest downfall of battlefront was its horrible sales model and lack of content at the start. It still was a commercial success too.

Any Long Dongers here? Whats the best way to level up lower ranks? Sent a spec and lncpl team into a light in June and man...it was not pretty.

Spend your first few missions running pure rookies and get 2-3 teams worth of specs first, then just run whoever isn't fatigued/wounded.

If you get an easy mission like a crashed scout you can throw a few unexperienced soldiers at it but never send in a full team of them, regardless of how easy it looks

>>146910541
>>146909648

>>146909648
First month you always bring 100% rookies unless it's a council mission, goal is to get as many people as possible to spec. Then next month goal is to produce as many LCPLs as possible. You don't want to dump all your xp in the same ten people, it has to be spread out as much as possible.

After the first months lowranks are mostly to be trained on downed scouts and even then not in full teams of lowranks but rather as 1-3 extra soldiers to a normal team (with the core maybe even slightly stronger than a normal team). Some other missions also work with 1 lowrank soldiers but it's based on your preference and risk tolerance.

>>146910809
As an addendum I find eggsalt slaughter missions a good newbie training ground midgame because two CCS assaults can guarantee mission victory; I add one or two other guys for damage and then 2-3 newbies with AP grenades who will just farm kills. There's always risk when bringing newbies though.

Repair Bay is cheap and fast. Mandatory too, if you didn't disable repairs.

OTS and Foundry are things you want to get up as fast as possible. You'll need power though, so while building one, beeline for the nearest steam vent and start building a thermal(or if it's some really shitty positions, make a temporary regular power building on the path to the thermal).

>>146917789
B-but my steam vents are all at the bottom and they're both pretty far from each other

>>146923827
That sounds like a restart-tier layout

You can't make a decent power block, and attempting to use the thermals only serves to screw over future building blocks. Not to mention that getting things up will take a seriously long time in either case. I don't know what else to say mate, besides hit the new game button

My personal suggestion for making sure you don't get fucked over by steam layouts in the future: go to the DCG ini file, ctrl+f steam(or something like that), find the line which dictates the number of steam vents, and set it to 5. Once you're past mission one and get to the base, pick the two best steam vents and pretend the other three do not exist. Assuming you can manage that measure of control, you can more or less pick yourself a decent steam layout

so I'm just starting long war and i read the op

but what sort of bonuses do people usually like when playing. australia's seems really gud but i dunno. not looking for objectively the best, just what people tend to start with

>>146927987
Objectively best tactical is probably Canada Cadre. Strategically would be France Os'dfkjdklfj whatever it is that gives more council requests.

Armor would let my dudes survive but weapons would let me kill shit and not take hits

Cheyenne mountain (US), Jungle Scouts, the +soldier stats bonuses, Cadre are all popular. For me I always go Quai d'Orsay.

>>146929064
Armor is a very special case. IIRC sectoids have a miniscule chance of oneshotting a 7-hp soldier and no chance of oneshotting an 8-hp one (depends on difficulty). Since you can achieve both of these values without armor tech you can delay it a bit at no penalty. Personally I do xenobio -> materials -> fragments -> laser. Xenobio must always be your first tech because it unlocks corpse requests, materials second is kinda rare but I like it because it unlocks other requests and gives me alloy plates early.

Probably next week since some jackass at Firaxis botched the probable announcement/gameplay stream.

What team composition is best the Exalt base?

Would my normal one of 75% Infantry work well?

I am watching a stream of the new DLC.

Holy shit fuck the Snake King. It can take an action when you do ANYTHING.

There's hard and then there is artificial difficulty like that.

Just scout using scanners/scanning protocol, set up an ogrewatch ambush with everyone but your hunt weapons, free axe throw to activate the pod, frost nade on salvo grenadier to freeze them for a bit, bolt to possibly stun, another nade as soon as they unfreeze, and also abuse repeaters/hair triggers.

I would have to put some work in to redo the textures, then learn how to add weapons.

I don't care for manually installing XCOM2 mods. I prefer the launcher because it's easier.

Why is Xcom2 such a buggy piece of shit. I've played every Xcom game and this is easily the worst of the lot. Yes, including Interceptor.

>>146966690
I'm sure it will be magnificent.

>>146966690
it's the new cover art for the console versions, duh

>>146966553
Like other people said there was supposed to be a stream today, but something was broken so they had to delay it. Still no update on when the new announcement will be.

If its not the final DLC people are gonna have a fit. The new class is 99% a MEC, it would be the tease/blue balls a the century if it wasn't considering we know from SDK files that the mission for the DLC revolve around MECs.

Good to know.

Thanks for the update.

I'm confused on what I'm to actually do in XCOM 2 with missions. Is it a case of balancing out getting supplies/making contact and then trying to sabotage the aliens to stp the doom counter? And I'm assuming making contact is XCOM's 2 version of making satellites?

Also with class mods, will the option to train a rookie to that class still be in the GTS or does it apply to vanilla classes only?

>>146982494

>>146989950
For X2 I presume?

>>146990752
Yeah. Can't finish a mission without crashing now. Keeps getting worse.

>>146989950
If XCOM2 then yes. No mods either. Crashes after a mission, crashes on the geoscape 3-4 times before finally activating.

>>146991580
Well I've read a lot of people complaining about it. All I can hope for is that the next patch helps.

>>146991778
I still find it weird that the day one torrent worked far, far better than the Steam version. I figured patches would have fixed it by now but it's just gotten worse.

>>146989359
Any good class mod will have the option to train them in it be in the GTS

How long do scan rewards last in XCOM 2 before they disappear? And does the counter reset if you scan them a little bit?

>>146993775
If I remember right they last till the next supply drop, don't count me on that though.
