How long did it take for EW to came out after EU again?

I'm want to come back to XCOM2 but I haven't played since before the DLCs came out.

I'm completely unspoiled on the DLCs, all I know is what's posted on their store pages.

Should my next campaign have both enabled or should I hit them one at a time?

>>160460152

Consoles are probably to blame in this case

Don't be silly. The US would be funding the XCOM project so hard and pumping in manpower like crazy; the alien invasion would be beat back in three months.

>>160474321
I know more about the aliens than all the generals, you don't even know. The president doesn't want to call it like it is, extraterrestrial terrorism and it's a problem, it's a problem. They would have you believe it's a mission of peace but I'm telling you what they don't want you to hear. We will stop this attack on our people believe me. XCOM is the greatest asset to the world and they want to stop funding it, why? I'm telling you we will fund it bigly okay. We will, you don't even know.

They want to build mega cities and move everyone in to control their narrative, they don't want you to know what's happening in their factories. I'm telling you we will plant XCOM bases all around the border, they won't be able to get in okay, believe me.

They want you to believe the media lies, they want you to think it's a mission of peace, they want you to be docile and politically correct. I say no, I want you to be free, I want you to be strong, I want to make America great again, I want to make the world great again, I want to make XCOM great again!

>>160487460
actually thinking back on it vanilla hit chance was 65% before any range scaling; oh well

So if I overwatch from concealment and fire with the last guy, am I guaranteed to get the next turn, as long as everyone is in cover? Or are grenades the safer way to open concealment?

Quick question, just installed the allies unknown mod for 2 but half my human units have the Mass Effect armours, and there's no way to get around this once you get to tier 2 armour, anyway to get around this?

Also is it just me or does the extra mission types mod makes things way easier? Getting a bunch of early free rookies every time you have a siege or rioting city mission takes a lot of challenge away. I'm thinking of putting in the additional dark events mod to balance it out

>>160499651

No ideas about the first one, but in the case of extra mission types. Getting one of those early in the game is cripplingly difficult to me, but that might just because i have about 60 other difficulty mods.

But when my first terror mission is a heaven siege, and i only have 6 rookies against 50 ayylmaos, it's fucking horrible.

I can't believe someone hasn't done more ADVENT helmets for ABA guy to use, I fucking hate how two thirds of all ADVENT are the same fucking Commander model with a different light

IMO, Advent troops in cities and troops outside of them should be different.
It makes sense for the city troops to be clean, almost human like or in the case of the alien, all sleek and clean.
But the troop outside of the cities should be more body horror, like some strogg looking troops

(~This post is written by an Elegan/tg/entleman who has been in /xcg/ for almost two years now. It is what he would like to see as the Xcom 2 Expansion pack)

XCOM 2

OPEN WARFARE

XCOM 2 introduces Land Warfare on and under a whole new layer as a faction of Religious Fanatics raises it's militant arm towards the freedom of Mankind.

Introducing the Cult of Sirius Commander.

These Religious Fanatics where among the first to submit to the Aliens Control of our World.

Their Churches and messages of Peace cover an insidious plot, a "Back up Plan" for the Aliens if the Avatar project fails.

Every member of the Cult of Sirius is Psionic.

They have taken in the disillusioned, the lost and the insane.

Having an army to match Advent in it's size and power. They are finally pushing their perverse ideologies onto the last free Havens of Mankind.

We must act, they must be stopped. Earth mut be free.

Good Luck Commander.

For this fight however, We. Are. Prepared.

Introducing the Land Raider.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WxO6TwnFzU

The Land Raider is Xcom's growing arsenal. This asset can go everywhere your Skyranger cannot.

As we grow it can be upgraded with new tools, weapons and armor. It will be the fist of the resistance, carrying troops into the harshest of Xenophobic conditions.

(Introducing new thick forest, jungle, cavern andartic terrainsets)

(Land Raider can be upgraded with Mag Armor, A new Tier 3 Armor and Powered Armor is now moved to Tier 4)

(It can also be equipped with the same with weapons - Mag, Laser is now incorporated into the game from Long Wars Laser Pack)

(It can also be equipped with item helping items and systems)

Lastly, it can later be included in missions as a Tank/Mobile Command Point)

(The Cult of Sirius also has THE SAME ABILITIES and CAN DO IT EARLIER THAN YOU - They can and will drop in Cultist units and Unique Alien/Human Hybrids)

(~Part 3)

Basically, new vehicle related shit in the area full of crates next to Shens Love Dungeon on the Skyranger

You can use it to plow into the new environs to reach ares the Skyranger can't get to or work effectively.

So you load your squad into the Land Raider and go through those biomes to whatever missions face you within.

Crashed alien ship from the first war - Re-Introduces Cyber Disks and Drones as further evolved machines, the Cyberdisks evolved independantly from their masters before re-joining them after a botched first jungle (story mission)

cultist bases in the ice, in places the Avenger can't land or the Skyranger can't operate through - Deserts and Ice biomes become available.

Also, more missions where you can hit specific Advent supply and logistics bases.

Cult churches in the cities where you have to assassinate a specific leader and the map has very few - but very powerful psionic enemies that will toast you if they know you are coming, some civilians will be hostile to you, others will not - thus not revealing concealment around them,

Alright, thanks. Haven't played since launch so this might get interesting.

How's the DLC? Any of it worth it?
Also, I remember at launch that the best way to deal with the doomsday meter was to wait until it was full and then do a enemy base mission. Is that tactic still legit? I really, really don't like being forced to rush things.

>How's the DLC? Any of it worth it?
Anarchy's Children: its only cosmetic stuff so i recommend to look around for screenshots and judge for yourself

Alien Hunters: this dlc basically adds 3 boss aliens to the game and new weapons to take them down, they take a reaction for every action you make and have quite a lot of hp, if you want to spice your campaigns and you are not afraid of challenges give it a go

Shen's last Gift: the sparks are kinda mhe, they feel under powered and dont offer much to replace your regular soldiers but the saving grace of this dlc is the story mission, i really want to see firaxis experimenting more with segmented missions

>about the doom meter
they removed the cheese of the counter in a patch, now the doom countdown wont reset back to full instead it will continue from where it left or at least will reset to a minimum amount (in commander it appears that the countdown will start at 7 days the lowest might be different for other difficulties)

"Challenges" in XCOM tend to be of the bullshit variety. I presume this is the case?

So what's the best way dealing with it without resorting to mods? I like the management part in XCOM and I get stressed when I see a gigantic red timer at the top of the screen.

pretty much yea, encounters with them like every xcom mission thend to go either smoothly or they will wreck your squad and the fact that you can permanently lose the hunter weapons means that you can bone yourself if you are not careful yet i like their addition very much since they tend to be the wild card that you cant see coming and can make a mission a lot more "fun" the xcom brand of fun

>So what's the best way dealing with it without resorting to mods?
you really need to plan ahead and either make your way to a facility as soon as possible or make progress into the story
hit the facility the moment the bar fills while moving to the next and use the doom countdown as a safety net to make up for any setbacks, just beware that the countdown will continue from where it left off last time

I've lost two missions in a row because of this.

>>160589168

Yeah, apparently so, there's even a thread on Reddit about this. It says a workaround is to use TAB but I've been using it constantly and yet they target the wrong guy anyway.

Do you think the bug is causing that Snapshot thing too?

>>160589348

No idea, could be a class mod.

And i think there's a hotfix mod for the targeting thing in the workshop.

>>160589398

And according to that it's been fixed by both LWPP and the devs. Apparently some guy had the same problem and verified the game cache and it worked afterwards.

I'm not using any class mods either aside from Long War.

Out of nowhere, after 192 hours I get this error going to the main menu, what gives? Anyone had this before? Tried all the usual solutions like verify cache, restart comp, disable antivirus but same result

>>160628592

If it wasn't for the gun it would almost look like it was from a different game.

>>160628793

Delete all your snakes.

Fuck, I was almost certain I had those threads saved somewhere, but now I'm having trouble digging it up.

Not sure if you're familiar, but quests are interactive stories that used to be told on /tg/ - it's like a DM running a roleplaying game for people in the thread.

This one was set during the events of EU 2012 and the player character (people in the thread would vote on what actions this character could take) was a teenage (iirc) female civilian who was currently the most psionically powerful person on earth.

The intro action was that one day she came home and aliens had destroyed her house and possibly abducted her parents. There's a brief scuffle with them, I don't remember the specifics, but I think both XCOM and EXALT end up engaging them? Anyway, the interesting part (along with the setup) was that the main character chooses to go with EXALT.

Let me see if I can find the thread on suptg.

Why do they all have flashlights on?

Why not hold up a neon sign saying "Here I am fucking shoot me"?

>tfw /tg/ has finally been purged of the quest cancer

thank you mods

too little too fucking late to save that board though

Is the original worth playing?

>>160633524
As in 90s xcom or EW?
Never played og xcom but EW is good

>>160633734

OG

GoG has it up, and I'm assuming it works on new computers

The artwork looks pretty cool, and I read it's more detailed than the new ones

>sectoid in X2 scores a crit and kills my dude in full cover, about 15 tiles away while flashbanged

Once had a floater get a full crit on the best guy wearing the best armor who was hunkered in higher elevation from similar distance
LW floaters and thinmints ar hate incarnate

>>160633976
Get Open XCOM.

>>160634059
Welcome to xcom

buckle up

>>160633976
I think it's worth it. As the other person noted, play it with openxcom. The game is really good, but it's one of those things that can be hard to get into.

>>160632145
The flashlights cut down on friendly fire by 50%

>>160634059
Where was your Mimic Beacon?

>>160641259
is this supposed to be adams and hissy from a while back?

>>160634059
I am convinced that flashbangs actually increase hit and crit rate from the fact that the exact same thing happened to me the first and only two times I used them, and no one can convince me otherwise

>>160644615

Flashbangs lower hit chance, but not crit chance, so if they hit they're almost guaranteed to crit.

It took me a second to realize that this is in fact NOT xcom 2

>>160645741
didn't they decouple hit from crit in x2?

Cosmetic ports from Far Cry 3, 4, and Blood Dragon.

Blood Dragon weapons would be nice too.

So would Blood Dragons as enemies.
