I think the difficulty is pretty close to being just right in legend ironman vanilla. I don't think LW could do better, but I know they will add a shitload of stuff plus the bugfixes the vanilla game still has.

Time of Truth.

I know a lot of people don't like the airgame (with good reason, especially if you've put time into long war) but how would you lot feel about an apoc style vehicle system being in the new game?

I'm just kind of fantasizing but I'd love to see even a streamlined version of it in a new game where instead of using a sky ranger you just transport soldiers in whatever and fight with enemy vehicles with whatever.

I think it would work well with TFTD2 if they were to have a bunch of different types of submarines and shit to fight giant sea monsters and enemy subs.

>>150804768
I really wish they had gone all out and made the game a real role reversal where the aliens set up bases and launch interceptors to stop things the player did instead of another game where you just react to the aliens.

Instead of the current system where you have to collect a series of arbitrary nick nacks to unlock the final mission it would be cool if you had to get global panic up to over 50% like how the aliens had to win in the previous games.

Well to her you are a fat juicy cow! She is just preparing you for her feast.

After all if you look after you food it tastes much better. In the same way that if you spook a cow the milk goes bad, well with a spooked or stressed human they don't taste as nice.

So get the human to relax, not think it is in danger, even think it is loved, feed it up, fatten it, get it nice a juicy and then *BLAM* dinner time! The best tasting human you can get!

>>150833875

They didn't fix them entirely. There's still LoS bugs in the 1.0 release. They did a good job with what they had to work with. But the main objective of LW was never to fix bugs. To act like it was that much better than vanilla is pretty funny when we got new bugs like AI ignoring collision in certain areas of the maps.

And as far as xcom 2 is concerned, firaxis keeps introducing new bugs with the DLC, so it's probably best to wait until they're done with that shit so you only have to do one sweep. Plus it works better with an overhaul mod anyway, since you will have the complete game assets to work with, instead of hacking together some shit that firaxis might end up making themselves anyway. Plus nobody seems to want to organize and get this shit done. Every mod that would be considered an overhaul is minor and done by one or two people.

We'll be waiting a long time for something like LW for xcom 2. Then again we waited a long time for something like it for EU, so whatever.

>>150834732
>firaxis keeps introducing new bugs with the DLC
Literally no bugs matter as long as the see-through walls and roofs are in the game. Fuck me, Jake, how hard is that to fix?

>>150834818

Well, the crashes are the priority for any developer. And they're working on the console port right now, so I wouldn't expect much in the way of patches until that's through the door.

This is probably a really stupid thing to ask, but does the new LW Ayylien pack conflict with A Better Advent? Both pages mention that there are no "known" conflicts but I haven't seen any of the LW ayys yet. Then again I did just start a new campaign. Maybe I'm too early in the game to see them?

>>150834818
THIS

It completely ruins the whole point of the new tactical game. Seeing through floors, doors and walls is pathetic. It's so stupid when I can flank an ayy from a roof by shooting through 2 layers of suspended slabs.

>>150835287
Use All The Enemies.
You should see magnificent ayys in Gatecrasher, I think.

So, as a filthy casual who's only ever finished the game on Veteran, how fucked would I be jumping in to the LW perk pack and LW aliens pack? Probably just on veteran again.

Trying my best to buff SPARKs so that they aren't useless in my campaign that has ABA, Pods+, LWAP and other difficulty mods. What are the best workshop mods for achieving this?

>>150862536

Holy shit, so great. I've got a Jaeger that is honestly a monster, especially with the Kinetic Strike heavy weapon I've got from some other mod, giving the Jaeger a punch to go along with In The Zone and a pretty real gun alongside it. I also have a Goliath that is fucking indestructible (it tanked 4 Archons, a Sectopod, and an entire Advent pod of fire alone and was basically fine; this is on Commander with ABA Pods+, FYI). That Goliath is mid-ranked, too, not even a Colonel or anything.

Get LW Mecs as SPARKS.

>>150864720
The question is, did you have a blast?

I did it. I finally closed a chapter from my childhood and completed XCOM Apocalypse!

I missed some research though but by the time I realised it was to late to correct it.

I missed 1 UFO type and some autopsies, also I think there is meant to be a teleport tech? And I didn't get Toxin C (not that I used A or B).

>>150865898
Nice. Any closing thoughts on the game? Strengths, weakness, pro cons, how it compares to other x-com/xcom games, what you might change if yo could?

>>150863351
Thanks man

>>150866560
Sure thing. I plan to check out the Mec Armor later today or tomorrow (on a New Vegas kick right now, but I'll come back to X2 soon) so I'll be sure to let people know about them as well.

>>150866052
The power swing from one extreme to the other happens to suddenly.

I went from being on total defence carefully choosing my battle, to suddenly wiping out every UFO in the alien dimension. After that it was just grinding through the alien destruction missions.

I also didn't like that the shield generators just died, so you always have to build new ones. Also Entropy Missiles are BS.

The imbalance between the real time a turn based modes are odd. With Brain Suckers being OP as fuck in TB mode but weak as hell in RT and vica-versa with Entropy Missiles.

I didn't even touch psionics, even though you have access from the start. I guess they tried to tone down how OP it was from 1 and 2?

I wish there was a bit more to the whole city and organisations thing. Other than Transtellar getting pissed off from damage and me bribing them it seemed pointless.

Oh and it takes way to long to access the end game armour and it is the one and only type you research. Why on earth didn't anyone try and make a helmet that stops Brain Sucker attacks, or at least stops one or 2 attacks before they can take effect?

>>150866921
The power swing from one extreme to the other happens to suddenly.
Yeah sounded more extreme then the usual x-com experience, when you where questioning how you could possibly survive mid-game.

>I also didn't like that the shield generators just died, so you always have to build new ones.
Toxiguns ignore shields, so if you use them you can kill the ayys and use theirs.

I hope open Apoc can adress alot of these things whenever it gets finished.

>>150866921
I always figured psionics to be a plot device more than something useful in apoc. Like when you find out the goo shit is the real alien and everything else is their meatpuppets it makes sense that psionics are trash. How DO you influence a mind spread across thousands of microorganisms?

>>150867882
I saw that goo on like 1 mission and didn't get a live version.

>>150867882
Seemed like psi could still be useful in human v. human ops, but I wouldn't know from experience.

>>150866921
>Didn't use toxin
Already winning too hard?

Yeah, craft progression in particular seems way too steep. You go from nothing almost straight to the Retaliator just because it's hard to build shit any faster. And once you've got Annihilators you just piss on everything.

I thing the RT/TB option was a mistake. Would have been better if there was only one mode that was sensibly balanced. Also teleporters are ridiculous in RT, as you can use them with the game paused. Which mode did you use most?

>>150868061
Could be, but you don't really need to do much of that. Beating up the cult is fun, but unnecessary. And far too many of the aliens are flat out immune for it to be all that great. And it's just less good in real time mode anyway.

>>150868179
I used RT at the start of the game as Brain Suckers were so dangerous. Once I started getting hit by Entropy Missiles I switched to TB and by that point my guys were far more like to get reaction hits on any Brain Suckers they did see.

Everything looks in order here.

>extract ADVENT VIP from convoy
>two pods activate near VIP
>can't kill everything
>freeze Archon and muton while cleaning the rest
>SUDDENLY
>[muffled sectopod servos at CLOSE RANGE]
>fuck
>throw meme to distract
>AI wastes two moves repositioning before shooting
>"ha! still retarded as alw-"
>it's near the car
>literally touching it

[ ] kill the sectopod and have it explode the car along with the VIP
[ ] don't kill the sectopod, risk dead soldiers, lose the VIP anyway as it MAGNIFICENTLY decides to walk through the goddamn car

SCREW YOU JAKE
What will it be, /xcg/?

I think I saw just about every trooper that ABA has to offer, and a few from LAWP too. Doesn't help that every captain carried a stun lance and that there were double reinforcements half the mission. That's enough balaten to last a lifetime

Needs mor balaten, coward.

So this guy is stuck in slow motion for everything he does including firing. And everytime he fires an endless loop of the firing sound starts. Which stacks on itself.

My ears are bleeding please send aid

I FINALLY FINISHED IT. THE NOISE IS FINALLY OVER.
I dealt with that for half an hour. What is wrong with me.

Why not just

Relaunch the game?

Is there a way to tell what workshop items are being updated? I just got a 300mb steam workshop update for xcom 2 and I have a billion mods installed so I have no idea which one it is

>>150879742
Because that would be admitting defeat.

You know that hack option that lets you randomly mind control an enemy on the map?

Don't do that.

UFOpaedia is finely down for maintenance. Was getting worried it would never happen.

>Left the name field full for several posts
Bah, I always forget

Is the android version of Xcom EW shit? Thinking of buying it off the app store.

>>150880463
JUST break los

>>150880463
Yes, had the same idea, once.
Same map, even.
Let us know how many fuckers you can take down before biting it.

>>150843465
Jake used up all the money spending on degenerate cgi models instead of proper coding.

>>150880078

If you go to the workshop>browse>subscribed items you can sort the list by date updated on the right.

>>150853668

BAhahahaha, I can't remember how but I fixed this back in my LW days. Noone listened on the forums so I stopped giving a crap.

Vahlens hot more vicious blonde bombshell daughter.

>>150883847
>Vahlen's daughter takes over Tygan's position in the expansion.
>Vahlen is ADVENT's science head and as a MILF.

>>150884238
This would be perfect. Maybe vahlens daughter could be a halfcast.

>>150884238
>>150884396
>Guys Vahlen likes to science hard core while fighting aliens for earth
>Must mean she would science for the aliens!
I want this meme to end.

>>150884507
Tygan scienced for the ayys.

Us: 1 You: 0

>>150884636
I think you have to shape that statement into an argument. If your implying that Tygan knew his work was going towards destroying humanity, then you would be incorrect. And if he doesn't know that, then it has no connection to arguing why Vahlen switching sides makes any sense.

>>150885025
Maybe she didn't know either or got chipped.

Us: 2 You: -1

Uhhh what?

Anyone know what the cause of this and of a possible fix?

>>150884507
How about this?

>MILF(!)Vahlen focus on psionics, specifically against the Psi energy from the sea. Such as rogue Avatars or afflicted ADVENT and Ayys. And how to mindrape the Commander.

>Vahlen's daughter focuses on biotech; meant for use against the knockoff tiberium and infected ADVENT troopers-Ayys
