Speaking of monmusu..... cyclops mod when. I want to play as Manako

I just updated the OP mod pastebin with 50 or so mods and removed a couple which I knew had fallen out of date. I will update the mega repository with all of them as well as soon as I switch back to wired internet. If anybody remembers the modlist or me, sorry for falling off the grid when I explicitly promised I was going to update it regularly. I haven't had a computer which can run XCOM2 for a long while now. Had some medical problems so wasn't home. Anyway, I really need help if the paste is going to be any good again. Been playing a bit for the last week and found a ton of stuff that's good straight away, but I've probably missed a lot.

>>152982313

>>152984957
I won't shit up the thread, but here's a "changelog" for the stuff I added and removed. Feel free to point out obvious flaws: http://pastebin.com/91Z5BH2i

I haven't taken my current campaign to lategame so can't be the judge of stuff which mostly shows there. This becomes really apparent with class mods, I've seen a ton, probably because of the LWPP but haven't really been able to see how they work balancewise. Any good'uns you guys use?

Adams and P.C Hissy anon? Check.
Snekfags have at least one representative here tonight, so we can check that off too.

Question regarding the Guerilla Ops and Bases.

I'm right next to two Alien Bases (in on the US East Coast, one in Eastern Europe). My current Guerilla Ops choices are to prevent Armor being added to some enemies, stop intel costs from going up 100%, or to prevent 1 extra Avatar bar from being added.

Can I basically ignore the extra bar one, since I will immediately after raid a base and prevent it from even activating? Which one should I do?

I have all the Tier 2 weapons and armor.

PS, is now a good time to do the DLC missions?

What soldier customization mods do you guys use that's not in the pastebin? I'm looking for fun soldiers to make individually, not a uniformed squad.

Can someone ask Beagle if he ever plans to play Battleborn again?

2.

I like tier-3 aesthetics. What, you think creating the precision machining and fabrication CNC machines required to make plasma weaponry is going to make them look blocky? If we assume form follows function and the aliens prefer functionality they should, in fact, look the way they do.

In that case they should look like the alien weapons and armor, but they don't. The plasma isn't even the same color as the alien's plasma.

The Xcom plasma doesn't have the vents or whatever those cylinders are on the barrel of the viper one, it also doesn't have the two cylinders the viper one has behind the rotating lens core thing. The Xcom one is also covered in holes and lines for some reason, and it has about 50% more curves. Even the barrel, or those rail things look different. The alien weapons also have a constant plasma ball thing floating right there in the center.

10% of the guns is similar(the "barrel" and the core) while everything else is different.

But i was mostly referring to the armor, the armor vipers, mutons and advent wear is completely different from the Xcom power armor.

That said, i don't particularly dislike or hate the design of the T3 stuff. It still doesn't make sense that you go from barely finished looking weapons and armor in T2 to some super sci fi alien looking gear.

I guess this looks ok, the problem now is that when the soldier is just standing around idling he still holds the weapon normally, and i'm not quite sure where to change that, it might not even be worth changing. But also the hand right now when it's in it's normal position goes through the weapon's model, and just changing the hand's position with the socket system makes it so he's not holding the foregrip anymore because the hand ends up bellow it. So i guess i have to make the weapon less tall now.

I only got 2 wounded soldiers but jesus fucking christ.

I went into the missions with mag weapons and bluescreen round because i heard that there were going to be MECs there.

But for the life of me i cant even understand how you even would finish that mission going in blind + vanilla + ballistic weapons (consolefags).

The mission throws at you non fucking stop enemies that dont do a whole lot, but if they stack up they can fuck your day up.

Also what is the point of SPARK? He has a ballistic rifle from the looks of it and i dont have a kinectic punch, what do i need to research to get that fucker punching ayliums?

It's a nightmare, I did it with a five man squad and ballistics when it came out. Lily got Julian'd through full cover turn after turn and I had to restart the encounter twice. Eventually I got it while my entire squad was surrounded by the drop in MECs ready to explode.

You'll get the punch as an ability later on, but it's not as cool. There's a workshop mod though to increase the force of it, look it up.

>>153092710
>But for the life of me i cant even understand how you even would finish that mission going in blind + vanilla + ballistic weapons (consolefags).
It is possible, but very very hard. Probably not realistically doable on Legendary with ballistics.

>The mission throws at you non fucking stop enemies that dont do a whole lot, but if they stack up they can fuck your day up.
Basically yeah. The thing is that they're terrible on their own but can murder you pretty hard if they group up and activate the explosion tech.

>Also what is the point of SPARK? He has a ballistic rifle from the looks of it and i dont have a kinectic punch, what do i need to research to get that fucker punching ayliums?
It's a perk.

Chill out, we always persevere

Hello /xcg/. I used to be a regular here a long time ago.

I wanted to ask you fellas for ideas/advice on something

I'm working on a small test game that is inspired by XCOM (both classic and reboot) and the classic Rainbow Six games. It's a turn based tactical game, with SpecOps wizards instead of soldiers or sci-fi stuff. The idea is that for each mission you pick your guys' equipment (weapons, armor, etc), survey the map with initial intel, and choose where to deploy your teams (you can split up your guys into different teams to spawn from different points in the map and pull off coordinated attacks/breaches).

There'll be a couple classes, but with all being magic based somehow. Arcane guardians (the equivalent of a dude with a big ass magic riot shield) are the pointmen and provide cover, wizards are the staple long-range damage dealers, conjurers are the support middle-close range guys, and shadowblades are the equivalent of the stealth class, and they can phase through walls and climb them to get into position for ambushes (think a-la Soul Reaver). You would be able to take 8 guys per mission, and you are free to split them up into 3 teams (like 3,3,2), 2 teams (like 4,4,0) or just one big team of 8. (Similar to Rainbow Six)

You begin most missions in concealment, like in XCOM2, to encourage setting up coordinated strikes with all your squads. You'd be raiding houses, dungeons, towers, towns, etc to accomplish different missions against evil magic-users who are either a passive threat, terrorists holding down an area, or stuff like that. Like warlocks, necromancers, etc.

So what I wanted to ask you is: what are some big blunders that you can think of that I should avoid in this little pet project? How would you balance these classes against competent enemies? (the idea is that missions shouldn't have lots of enemies. They should outnumber your team, but not by too much. Thinking about 20 enemies per mission sounds reasonable)

>>153098068
So literally Breach&Clear but good and with wizards and shiet?

>>153098331
Kind of, yeah

>>153098068
not too ambitious, get the must have features and then make a list of things you would like to add from least difficult to most difficult and then take some of the more difficult ideas to the side for later content.

Is there a geoscape?

>>153092710
Went into it with ballistic on Legendary, it was a slog.

The trick to Julayy is to lure it next to the generators and then blowing em up. Firaxis really should have signposted that more.

>>153098068
I like it but wizards? Seriously?
Be a little more original than that.
If I want wizards I'll play D&D, keep that shit away from my XCOM.

>>153099297
Yeah, I'm trying to get the bare bones functional first. The most challenging part I think is going to be the AI programming, and figuring out balanced abilities/spells for the classes so that they're functional and fun. For example I was thinking the Guardian would be naturally magic resistant, but unable to cast spells. So his main function would be the point-man with riot shield, but could also pull out a sword to deal damage when up close. The wizard would mainly be for direct damage with target-spells and AoE (and an autoattack with their staff/wand, for when they were low on action points). The conjurer would be more of a vanguard/support, closer to combat with crowd control and casting cheaper spells with their bare hands. The shadowblade would be for getting behind the enemy lines and backstabbing the weak enemies at the backline, silencing them, blinding them, knocking them out temporarily, etc etc.

>Is there a geoscape?
No, not quite. My original idea for it was more inline with a tactical-dungeon-crawler kinda deal, with a team of wizards sieging a tower controlled by an evil warlock summoning all sorts of horrors, clearing floor by floor, and allowing you to rest in-between floors. Kind of like Persona 3 with Tartarus. But then after thinking about it I ended up favoring the "have different mission types in different maps" approach better. I might use said tower but only as a final level or something like that.

I have toyed with the idea of base management though, but I have no idea how it would work yet

>>153100379
I dunno man, I thought I was being somewhat original by giving it the magic spin. I don't really know many (or any off the top of my head) famous magic squad tacticool games - and there are plenty with soldiers, sci-fi, and cyberpunk stuff.

I do like D&D kind of deals, but this wouldn't be an RPG. Just figured it would be interesting to explore the "wizard police" angle a bit, how they deal with crime with elite mage teams. Stuff like that

>>153100649
Not him but then how about it being pretty much medieval with one magic class?

>>153100860
I figured that would make it way too reminiscent of Baldur's Gate / Pillars of Eternity sorts of deals with a typical D&D party. Wanted to explore what it would be like if literally every class had some magical angle, even if it's just resistance to it, like the guardian (warrior) - or uses it in a merely utilitarian way, like the shadowblade (rogue)

>>153100424
>No, not quite. My original idea for it was more inline with a tactical-dungeon-crawler kinda deal, with a team of wizards sieging a tower controlled by an evil warlock summoning all sorts of horrors, clearing floor by floor, and allowing you to rest in-between floors.
What about making it like Darkest Dungeons, where you go deeper and deeper into the dungeon and rest between the floors?

>>153098068
I'd make it 6 guys, but that's just my gut feeling. And you could split them 3x2/2x3/1x6. Dressing up 8 people is tedious at times

Anyway, I think you can either have the enemy wizards weaker than your team and more of them, or stronger and accompanied by some minions, acting like "pod leaders"

I would make all classes purely magical, no cold weapons, at most you could bash them with the staff if they got too close

Guardian could be a tank/healer, probably unable to cast attack spells and generally be a defensive support
Shadowblade on the other hand would be an offensive support, doing those things you said

Wizard should be like a single target high damage output
and Conjurer the AoE guy

>>153081789
Your robut looks retard

>>153102307
It's my Julianbot so of course I doomed him to exist in a retard body

>>153101858
It's still definitely a possibility, yeah

>>153102002
>6 guys
Yeah that could also work, I guess what I'm gonna do is playtest and see how I feel about the number of team mates once I have the bare bones prototype running

>Stronger and accompanied by minions, like pod leaders
I very much like this idea

>I would make all classes purely magical
Yeah I've toyed with this idea too - that's why I made the riot shield on the guardian be made out of arcane magic and not just a regular metal shield. The shadowblade could perhaps be offensive support in the sense that he can throw magical knives at people, silence enemies, confusing them. Maybe sort of like a Mesmer/Mystic?

>Guardian could be a tank/healer
I viewed them as a tank but had considered not even including any healing classes, to make the game more in-line with Rainbow Six. But the idea of them being a hybrid between tank and healer does sound kinda cool. Will think about it.

Do you guys think it could work without healing items/classes?

>Wizard single target, Conjurer AoE
This also seems like it could work, but I wouldn't want to pigeon-hole them. I was thinking Wizards were more high damage/high cost spells, while Conjurers had more mobility, cheaper but weaker spells. But this way you describe could also work, I'll have to test it out

Decided to start a L/I vanilla campaign to try out the expansions/LW stuff properly, but still had a few difficulty enhancing mods such as grenade falloff and - one I had discounted entirely - ADVENT Captain Reinforcements active. Of course the chief captain in his pod called in a drop pod, and the captain which dropped from that reinforcement called in another one. Of course both of them perfectly marked and focus fired down one man each before they went down. Motherfucker, aren't there only supposed to be like 8 guys? I got fourteen all in all. The casualties were staples of my last campaigns too.

Gatecrasher is such horseshit, you've just got to throw out 65%'s and pray to god a few hit.

A favorite of mine, is Hammer

Just finished XCOM 2. Was fucking radical.

So what exactly is the commander in-setting? I always just assumed he was a bad ass human but some things the ethereals were saying didn't quite seem right with that.

Terror from the deep expansion pretty much confirmed right?

RIP Spokesman ;_;7

The Commander is an allegedly brilliant military commander with whom Asaru has bonded

He is just memeing you, there's no link between the Bureau and Xcom2.

Well, I tried. Campaign's still fucked but I stuck it out.

Man, those mod missions are so damn crippling if it's the first mission of the campaign. Not even the first time it's happened to me.

>>153118184
No confirmed one, but it's heavily implied that Asaru has bonded with the Commander. Nothing is confirmed so it's not a given fact, but a pretty widely accepted interpretation. I'm too tired to write it all out but quick google search brings up this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/4kp8t7/spoilers_xcom_2s_ending_explained/

>>153118184
>clear link at the end of Bureau to XCOM
>everyone who's been bonded to Asaru has achieved great things

It's not a huge leap to logic to think that Asaru is with the Commander, and since it's the same Commander in XCOM2...

>>153118746
There are some more things which imply it too. Besides from the Ethereal "come back to us" dialogue that implies that the Commander was once part of their clique beyond a milsim test dummy there are only two entities in the entire XCOM universe which have blue psionic energy, Asaru and now the Commander in the epilogue. Could be a coincidence, could be a nod to Asaru having bonded with him.

Also, at the end of The Bureau some fucko asks "Where do you think Asaru is now?" some other fucko says "I don't know" and the EU base theme starts playing before credits roll. Pretty damn conspicuous.
