This is a triumph. I now have at least a robocyclops operator for battle. Now all I need is human cyclops mod when

Alright /xcg/
It's been a month or two since I played.
What do you consider the must-have mods from the pastebin?
How's the new DLC so far? Are mods compatible?

Do you still need to start a new game with every mod you install?

Reposting from last thread: So i have a couple friends that like xcom, and we play dnd pretty often. Since they're (mostly) not shitters, would a tabletop xcom game sound fun with each person controlling an individual trooper?

Time to try another campaign, last time it was too hard, so i wanted to see if there were any mods to make it a bit easier, but a lot of them feel like outright cheats, the only one i found that seemed like it would make things easier on the early game is "psi rookies" which apparently makes a psi class similar to the vanilla one but it works like the normal classes, so if you get one you can't make them as strong as the vanilla psi operatives. Seems like a decent trade off.

As it's on sale, yes, It's cheaper to get the all-inclusive version rather then just the basic game and the MEC DLC (which is worthwhile).

Yes.

i don't think i'd be able to rope any of the people i know into buying it, so i'll likely be soloing my way through Divinity. hopefully its fun and/or interesting all the same.

So I bought the reinforcement pack, haven't played since release.

Loaded my ol' save, realized I could build the mech immedietly and it feels boring'ish. Seems I can't activate the mission cause I've gotten so far?

Same with Alien hunters I guess, saw some Viper King which escaped, I take it it's recommend to start a new save with the DLC?

>>147249362
You have to start a new game to enable the missions.

I can understand the kinetic strike being weaker in 2 compared to EW since it was a rocket-assisted fist in EW and in 2 it is just the sparks punching the target.

So, I'm on my fifth campaign and just thought, is there a benefit for capturing the enemy VIP instead of just PURGING?

As far as I know most mods are compatiable, at least people with huge mod pools seem to be able to still run the game fine.

>What do you consider the must-have mods from the pastebin?
The only essentials from the pastebin in my opinion are the quality of life and fixes mods. Honestly everything else is kind of up to your discretion right now on what you want. If you're looking to get a more specific experience out of X2, people here will be able to recommend the combination of mods and .ini edits that would be a good start. There's no "Long War" equivalent right now, so you'll have to experiement more.

You don't have to worry about new mods in the middle of a campaign, and for most you don't have to worry about turning them off mid campaign as well.

>>147255064

No, I mostly meant why you have a second mob dropping loot. Only one should per mission. Being able to see which unit is carrying loot is definitely a cheat as well though, but may as well go full force I guess.

Going for MSAA 2x is an easy 90 FPS though, and MSAA 4x is 75, so still pretty nice overall. Not even overclocking the card beyond the OC it came with. Game is pretty solid 120+ FPS on max everything and FXAA.

Faceless should disguise themselves as cute girls and capture the hearts and minds of X-Com.

>>147261770
Faceless don't really strike me as the intelligent types nor do they seem to be informers or information gatherers. Oddly enough they feel like their just terror units which seems odd. The game just never really comments on whether they actually relay information, or if they just sit around waiting to rip someone in half with their claws.

Kind of an important detail.

>>147262259
They don't seem to be an informer, just a plant that makes terrorizing resistance cells easier by sowing paranoia in the ranks.

Why they didn't make faceless do the same thing is beyond me.

>>147262489
Because advent already won. All they need to do is crush kill destroy the resistance cells and make their morale disintegrate. To do that, they need a paranoia-inducing unit. Not one who could infiltrate a hierarchical system like thin mints.

>>147262489
>>147262891
And when they do need a real infiltrator they can just set up a resistance informant, genuine human, no risk on their part

>>147263052
exactly

in fact there's a dark event specifically about human resistance informants.

>>147263153
>>147263052
>>147262891
I find it hard to believe they wouldn't see the benefit of a shapeshifter as an informant. There has been resistance cells/resistance since they first "won." The concept of them not needing an infiltration unit anymore is pretty silly.

Just spread those suckers out like a net with real lives and identities and you're gonna be able to have an even tighter control on the population. Why rely on humans anyway? I was never under the impression they were experiencing resource shortages. Hell, they created an entire military/police force instead of recruiting among the population or using aliens they already had.

>>147263551
Ultimately it comes down to xcom being a kinda pulpy setting, so there will end up being silly things like evil snake women, silver haired super sayiens, humans being randomly importaint in the universe etc.

Editing her face or hair will cause you to lose her custom appearance and become a generic soldier, Same with changing her voice. Editing her name or nationality will also corrupt those as well.

New games do not seem to want to load her, even when she is the only character in the pool and the game is set to load from character pool only. So I guess that's the end of this experiment. Maybe I'll try keeping her in the pool to see if I can recruit her latter.

Of course the boss fight is shit, it has an HP mountain and serious armor. If i wasn't playing on easiest i would've been pulling my hair out too. Almost no one got out of the mission without some damage, but everyone did get a promotion thanks to spawn farming.

>>147279602
Ah. For some reason, I can't get the game to let me upgrade the Alien Hunter weapons, I'm unsure as to why, so I've never seen the upgraded ones.

So is spark actually good member of squad? Also how the fuck do you use mecs, I've almost never used them in EW, how do I deal with the fact that i can't use cover?

>>147279183
Shen can hack the bots to death, but her abilities have cooldown and the bots spawn really fast.

Also they have 3 HP and 2 armor. Their own guns do one point of damage to each other if you hack them, so that tactic isn't as useful as it could be, and because your guys will do 5 damage on average with basic weapons, you can just shoot them.

The result is a slogfest.

>>147279959
You use the patented strategy of killing everything on the turn you activate, just like the rest of the game.

>>147280258
Those alien gene mods fuck you up good

>>147279959
Mecs (and shivs) not having to use cover is the best part of them, it more or less breaks the game because you can use them to safely scout out areas, flush the enemy out of cover, and flank without having to worry about being counter flanked.

Their base defense is high enough that it dosn't matter that they have no cover, and they have more HP than normal soldiers anyways. Because they will be drawing fire, they will protect the rest of your squad, and since they can engage the enemy on their own terms without having to hide in high cover, they will get more accurate shots.

What I like to do in long war, is have two or three shivs on my team. They just scout, flank, and suppress, while the organics go in for the killshot so the XP won't be wasted (Unless it's an enemy that needs to die immediately ) The Ayys freak out, and half the time waste ammo trying to suppress the SHIV.

Ok, just making sure you already had them since they are on sale as well. Guess we'll see you in September unless you want to get into the og x-com games.

Kind of forgot about xcom2 after my first playthrough. I noticed the DLC finally came out so that got me interested again, but when looking at the DLC my first impression is like "that's it?"

Seems like pretty shallow content they added. Nothing like the EW addon to the first game.

Feels like I've been rused buying the season pass.

>>147286248

Well, I do have those ones...

Maybe next time I feel adventurous.

Just finished the first base defense on Long Dong with 0 casualties,what have you done today /xcg/?

>>147286642
The DLC they added now is like the Zhang and French lady DLC with just a mission and some new minor things, where EW is an expansion, which is probably gonna come later.

>>147286642
I'm not really sure what you expected. You got, cosmetics, boss aliens with bonus weapons +armor, and SPARK units. Both of those come with story missions.

EW was an expansion, the expansion for X2 is still down the road. If EW also came out a year after the vanilla game.

>>147286992
>French lady
She's actually from EW as well. I think X1 dlc was Gangplank and a cosmetics pack.

>>147286930
x-com is alot of fun and it has like three overhaul mods for it right now, I can personally vouch for two of them. You just need openxcom, which is extremely simple if you own the game.

>>147286006
It really makes you think...

good engineer build for Long Dong?

>>147286950
I finally got around to upgrading to 1.0 and using texmods, and started a new campaign.

still on classic after all this time

>>147238159
Anyone one else nearly maxed out their Spark Class? I've got one to the 2nd last rank and I can't figure out what their roles are, they seem to be a weird mix of everything with their constant jumpjetting and Fuck-shit-up super mode standing out. I've been using mine as a jump cleanup crew but not being able to slap weapon mods on them to make their 3-mag size bigger is painful.

>>147289540
I've been using mine as a shot magnet. Tier 2 armor + bulwark = 3 armor. Final ability in future warfare gives an additional 2 armor temporary and makes attacks in a radius redirected to the spark.

>>147289634
Eh, must be the better Advent mod but I almost every god damn thing shreads my shit in. At least having 6+ armor can reduce damage for the first few hits somewhat. They seem more powerful early game but their functions get replaced later when you get access to better tech, Wait, does their shredding effect go up in tier like the Grenadiers?

>>147289816
Yes. Armor upgrades for them also increase their mobility a bit.

>>147289165
sapper->HEAT->Repair->mayhem->EC->bombard is the orthodox way to build them

Can also try some sort of utility/support build but it steps on the toes of medics and sapper is still a mandatory pick.

>>147289165
Engies can be built in a lot of ways, usually opinions are divided across people. I prefer the all in approach, where I end up specializing them towards one thing only for maximum performance. As such, two builds.

Grenading Engineer
Sapper > HEAT Warheads > Suppression > Mayhem > Packmaster > Bombard

Support Engi
Smoke Grenade > Smoke and Mirrors > Repair > Dense Smoke > Packmaster > Bombard

Grenading engineers not only can get absolutely anything destroyed on the field, but you get the absolutely amazing suppression + mayhem combo on the field a lot earlier than with gunners, which means you can eliminate those ranger 2hp moments at a point in the game where it matters. When it stops being common, you give your Engi shredder ammo and congratulations, you have a cover removing god with the added benefit of being a budget bullet wizard on demand.

Support engineers basically mean you'll rarely get hit, and become your saviors when needed. Activate 3 pods at once? Just throw two smokes and suddenly you have +40 defense all across the board for 2 turns. They can carry other support grenades like Acid Grenades, and ensure robots get seriously fucked the entire mission. On top of it, they'll practically be a requirement once capturing season hits, as they lug Repair around.

I got through Brutal just fine with these builds(well, until I burned out on landed large #7149 anyway), but a word of warning. Specializing these guys opens up slack in your squad, so you have to make sure that your roster is built to pick it up(so if say, support engi comes out, extra infantry comes out on the field).

>>147281524
I actually really like that they made Julian a MEC voice.

>4 missions in
>no loot drops at all

Not even destroyed one from grenade kills, what the fuck?

>doing the lost towers mission early on commander
>2 grenadiers one specialist
>bots have 3 armor and no one can roll higher than 3 damage
i hope shen can carry my squad to victory

Do Rage Strike from rage armor and Bladestorm stack?

>>147295283

i made it to the first lift, one grenadier died waiting her turn

>>147296080

i know about the boss but i think i can deal with him (i hope)

When do you get the Leader Armor?
I'm not 100% sure if I killed the Viper King, but I just had to fight the Berserker so I guess I did

>>147296931
>already lost a grenadier

I should be yelling at you to just evac/restart at this point, but at the same time I want to hear this trainwreck play out fully

>>147297259
You autopsy the leader then do the proving grounds project.

Is there special dialogue for taking it down that mission?

its not so bad, lost a granadier but got a mec in return
i am confident that with the spark and shen i can do it

k
current state of the mission:
i hacked the one of the turrets and then destroyed the other ones with capacitor discharge
dashed spark all the way to the switch to allow my soldiers to start runing to the exit
they are running along the right side of the room

i currently dont remember if right now i have the mod that "fixes" hacking turrets
the tool tip of haywyre protocol says that turrets should stay hacked permanently and thats the fix
lets hope i am not wrong and there are no nasty surprises near the end

>>147298598
I've only ever encountered the Viper King so far in Alien Hunters. Are the other two ruler aliens set to have the same sort of behavior such as taking a turn every time you complete an action? I imagine the berserker queen ruler would be terrifying when fighting if she can perform an action every time you do.

Just lost a campaign on Commander to some fucking LOS bugs. Turns out that Jake feels like a full cover van with a VIP in it doesn't break LOS and that giving you control over the VIP when you're something like 18 tiles away and the door is still locked makes sense. Other highlights from that mission include:

-Spawn literally next to an enemy pod. Concealment broken on turn 1, before I even get to go.
-Two pods pull when I move a rookie next to the van with the VIP (again, in full cover, on the far side of the van from them). Game immediately summons reinforcements.
-A flashbanged suppressed Advent Officer manages to use Overwatch to crit kill someone who is dashing between heavy covers. He had my only med kit. That kill panics two other soldiers, one of whom shoots at an Advent Trooper, hits the van with the VIP, and insta-blows the van up, killing the VIP and the rookie next to it.

Central yelled at me. I ragequit the mission and scrubbed the campaign, because I had already lost two troopers, had 9 Advent facing me down, and had no real chance of victory, much less evac since I couldn't call for it (VIP rescues are shit). Thanks, Jake.

>>147300214
So you quit.

That isn't losing, that's just giving up. You still have soldiers left.

>>147300187
Yes. Yes.

The Archon King has even more health than the berserker. BRING FIRE AND/OR ACID

my master plan almost worked
my soldiers on the left side of the picture cannot be shot by the turrets at the other side
but then the bastard jullian rose up the two turrets next to my granadier and specialist
all of shen's skills are on cooldown aswell as overdrive, but my turret, spark, shen and 2 soldiers can shoot the turrets
right now i am pondering if i should stop and deal with them or i should focus on one while running to the exit

>>147300180
Pretty good so far then

You can do a lot of LOS foolery down there, so right choice. Don't forget Shen obviously

With your enthusiasm, I'm really not sure you know just about everything about the upcoming boss

>>147300542
Mission 2, I was down to three turns on timer, outnumbered, had little in the barracks, had no real resources to speak of, and was about to lose my entire promoted force. Yeah, that campaign was scrubbed due to bullshit. You want to suffer onwards from a losing position, power to you, but I know when RNG rapes me.

Pics of fully upped tier 1,2,3 Sparks?

>>147300187
The Archon King you actually need to either kill or make him retreat within 3 or so turns otherwise someone will die. That asshole has the bombardment ability regular archons have but that shit will go off after a single action.

>>147301763
Is the tactic for him to overwatch trap with one person while everybody else runs away and just whittle him down that way?

what type of music does /xcg/ listen while playing

Anyone else think Julius talks like a Gearbox character?

my kingdom for a freze granade right about now
i destroyed the turret closer to lily to allow her to move forward and spark took some damage while moving to shoot said turret. now we have mecs coming, spark is out of ammo and my turret cant see the 2 bots down there, and they are to far apart to granade or rocket them

but haywire protocol is up again

not sure whats the best course of action, i am going to give it some thought

As it turns out, bulwark/sacrifice/T2 armor absolutely neuters Devastate and the archon king in general since he seemed to just not do much but move around when most of my squad was under the protective bubble of sacrifice.

Only outlier was my grenadier who was hit by it somehow. Probably misjudged where sacrifice deployed.

granadier and specialist takes down one of the bots, lily moves to hack the other one and both spark and my turret fails to destroy that last turret my granadier is looking directly at

i just hope they cant deal 5 damage upfront, as long as he survives my medic can patch him up as he leaves. next turn combat protocol is up and with a mec, spark and my granadier should be able to take on the next batch of bots
