You can probably see about that on mods' steam pages. Again I don't see why they wouldn't work if they don't change anything related to Shen's Last Gift.

Also aren't you pirating the game? Why the hell aren't you downloading the DLC then?

I want to cuddle with Vahlen!

>>163011374
Can't find a patch for the freaking DLC either I download 30gb or a repackaged version with 19gb when I already download a version without the damn last DLC

But thanks!

So in Piratez has the toxigun research and gemstones for endgame armor both been fixed/patched out?

Just beat the game for the first time on veteran, what do I need to know before starting commander?

>>163019108
Not much really. Basic troopers will now have 4 health, so you can't just nade them. Plan accordingly.

>>163019108
grenades don't one shot early game grunts because they have 4 hp instead of 3. advent tech up much earlier, 3/4 of mind spins on your troops will MC them.

I didn't find the jump from veteran to commander to be very hard, from commander to legend is insane though

>>163019939
I talked with the devs on their discord and they confirmed the Toxigun is more common and gems show up in more missions.

Fucking good

Is it just me or do Retaliation missions not really matter much in the scheme of things?

Unless you're riding the line on the doom ticker and it's in a region blocking facility access or it's the first one and you don't want to miss out on meme beacons can't really see a reason to do them sometime.

Think they need some kind if rework to make them do or die like Terror missions were. Maybe locking out the region for a long period or something.

They don't have a big noticeable effect, but it does cost a lot of time. You lose out on the time you spent discovering the region originally, and the time you need to discover the region again.
But I do agree, they need to have an immediate noticeable effect like old terror missions.

wut gaem?

Did anyone run into the EW-esque kill animation delay (where damage and subsequent death animation plays around ~sec after the firing animation)? I'm wondering if it's the game chugging under all the mods or the mods themselves. It's rather annoying since it breaks physics and makes bodies just slump to the ground instead of flying away.

On that note, is Edited Ragdoll Physics any good?

>>163045879

I'm on my first I/L run with a spark, it's awful.

The only remotely useful feature of the Spark is that they're available for every mission, that's it. Their damage is low, they're not a high enough priority for advent to focus fire so they're not even particularly tanky. The resources you have to dump in them are astronomical.

I'm in late october and only just now starting to field powered armor and plasma rifles/shotguns. My spark still doesn't have the max rank abilities he needs to be remotely useful despite my funneling him kills every chance I get.

I even cheated and threw a superior scope on his gun from the get-go and he's still been my most lackluster unit. Their skills can even be detrimental.

>Bulwark removing point-blank shots from your options
>Bulwark making Strike even more dangerous than ranger melee
>Strike having the some problems as ranger melee without bonuses like being able to guarantee the hit or anything
>Hunter protocol drains ammo with low hit chances

Without PCS and weapon mods they're completely useless compared to your normal troops, and even if they had that their health, skills, and investment make them completely non-viable to me.

>>163047797
Honestly the xcom2 ragdolls triggered me a little. In EW I enjoyed seeing Sectoids fly back and reee with the more realistic ragdolls.

Xcom2 goes full lazy and isn't even that consistent. Pectoids regularly just drop straight down dead even when point blank shot

>>163048624
I wonder if there's a way for someone to mod MECs in

>>163048740

It's the Unreal engine, so the sky is the limit. anything can be done, hell, Jake even said you can mod the game to use TUs if you want.

>>163047753

>>163047516
SPARKS are such a huge step backwards from MECs I just don't understand how they could be made by the same developers.

Just look at Spark's Strike compared to the KSM

UFO Defense first Or terror from the deep, and what's open xcom do should i have it or is it like freeware xcom?

>>163049450
Defence first. Get openxcom.

Okay, this has now happened twice and I don't know what the fuck is causing it.

Since it just cost me 2 rookies, still early game.

After the mission begins they randomly appear at the spawn about 6 turns in or so. Too far away and too randomly for me to do anything useful with them.

How do you stop this from happening?

>>163051576

That's from the additional missions type mods, they are reinforcements.

>>163051848
Can you turn them off?

Or predict when they come? Since this has only happened twice and they just show up.

Thank you for pointing me where to look though.

>>163051903

It might be an option if you have that mod config menu mod thing, i'm not sure. That said, it usually happens after you complete the first part of the objective, for example if the objective is rescue a guy and then wait for firebrand, then usually they show up after you rescue the vip.

xenobiology-lasers is the only hard and fast rule to start. Don't neglect airgame upgrades, don't bother with phoenix canons, gauss is very good, you can skip over making phalanx armor and go straight to carapace, or just make a few holdover pieces, pulse is also a skippable tier, but you at least need the research so you can upgrade your aircraft laser canons, interogations are important for alot of foundry projects.

Refer to UFOpaedia if you want to know what all the autopsies and interrogations give you.

>>163053030

>>163048716
Perhaps it was always like this and I just didn't notice. I mean, this only became an issue for me once I started using SPARK punches and was sorely disappointed by not being able to punch ayys into cars anymore.

but how

i picked russia because i remembered satellite spam was the way to go, but apparently it sucks in long war
when do i autopsy and interrogate since i don't have the bonus?

>>163061120
There is no set order. Keep in mind that autopsies unlock requests for those ayy corpses which can mean more scientists and better panic defense for countries. Also you can check ufopaedia for what each autopsy unlocks.

He didn't make it and thought it was too hard.

I'm expecting it to be Gene Mod centered (Doc's time to hit the field) with the possibility of them EXALT returning, aka, Dr Vahlen benefactors trying to use her research for their own war.

That but I'm also hoping for them to do a revision on the Psy and SPARK's stuff. It may be a long shot but they seriously need it.

So apparently hitting "Auto-detect graphics settings" breaks all UI-related mods. Fucking awesome.

The lasers are a no brainer because I love lasers and it makes it a teensy bit harder I think by forcing you to climb one more tier to get to plasma. But I forget how they made it - if lasers are in between magnetic and plasma or if lasers replace plasma and plasma is a little bit better.

The new aliens (though I am running ABA2 so I don't get LW aliens undiluted) are great, I don't use the SMGs but I think a mobility oriented guy with them would be a solid choice.

The meat of it is the classes. In vanilla I loved grenadier because it felt OP as shit and now while grenadiers are still good they aren't do-everything. I am a little disappointed in gunner but I am coming from still remembering the high of the escalation gunners who were OP as FUCK but in a glorious way. Just the most obscene overwatch motherfuckers imaginable. I think it was like - "shoot once, shoot twice, you didn't move so go into overwatch mode automatically now you get to make 3 shots that thanks to not-created-equal and a scope have high accuracy GG no RE".

Gunner here, well - a spark or grenadier shreds armor better, a ranger does overwatch better. Continung next post

It's essential however to run the LW2 class pack with something that lets you go to 8 squadmembers, otherwise it'd be way too restrictive in how they've diluted vanilla grenadiers into grenadier/gunner, vanilla support into support/ranger, ectera.

>>163082976

LW2 class perk list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lqbq1Bz1anyshKPWY499CrHeG_Mrl3t7MGMBWF-vwms/edit#gid=0

One of the other drawbacks for gunner is the absence of the LMG (6 tile squadsight but you can't move and fire on the same turn) opposite the standard SAW. It's strange as escalation mod had that and featuring it would let you actually properly follow the two trees for gunner - machine gunner (LMG) or SAW (mobile). I'm not crazy about how traverse fire (double tap's counterpart) is one tier further from where double tap was in LW1 http://ufopaedia.org/index.php/Gunner_(Long_War) .No ready for anything for gunner in LW2 sucks since that was a fantastic perk in LW1

I don't mess with shinobi but someone told me it's crazy good if you melee-spec it. I won a major level one on a mission so I'm going to give that a try eventually.

If you run the LW MEC classes, and ideally if you also run the cheet that lets you actually do proving ground upgrades to your MEC (so they can, amazingly, get to carry a fucking utility item or modify their gun) then I love the MEC Valkyrie. Scope on the rifle, bluescreen rounds and that son of a bitch will shoot an enemy on his turn, go into overwatch, shoot 3 more enemies.

>>163082976
What mod do you personally use to enable 8 soliders/mission? Sorry for being a mooching faggot for not searching for it myself, but I'm concidering starting a new game with the long war mods and I'm afraid I fuck something up with the mods and won't enjoy the playthrough...

Colonel "Pelter" Moore was my escalation mod gunner from that campaign. No LW classes on that one, but you want overwatch cheese spec a good not-created equal Escalation gunner with a scope and suddenly you're a maxim gunner at omdurman. "Whatever happens, we have got
the Maxim gun, and they have not.

And the faggot gets to go into advanced overwatch after he's done shooting. My guess is epigenetics gave him some insane accuracy on top of already good accuracy but I encounter that shit again I am going to be furious.

Early game enemies are ridiculous, I had a similar issue before I saw the light and switched to ABA2. I was using the LW Alien Pack and those fucking sentinel guys who seem to get infinite overwatches and crazy accuracy, I was doing a routine Gorilla Ops with a few low ranked soldiers to get some levels going and one Sentinel managed to kill THREE (3) squaddies, all because I sat there like "surely his overwatch is burned" TWICE, first time I genuinely forgot someone was on overwatch but FUCK

No I meant I went from LW Alien Pack to ABA2

LW Alien Pack is okay, I did two playthroughs on it. It adds some pretty interesting enemies, but I was disappointed to find there are no variations on some of the late game enemies. Personally I prefer ABA2 just because it adds about 90+ enemies, though it is wayyy harder, I've had to adjust how I play considerably because I got too used to playing without it.

But yeah, LW Alien Pack is fine, if you like it then definitley consider moving onto ABA2 for another campaign

It probably sucks in Impossible but I've had no problem spamming at lower difficulties. You can usually graze fighters enough to preserve the sats, and if you do lose them a replacement isn't that expensive considering you'll only need one every two months at worst. Just don't get carried away with the plane count, your goal is to skim off the top and down some scouts, trying to accomplish much more than that will just leave you with a big useless raven fleet that's costing you way more than you save on replacing sats.

I wonder if the expansion might touch a bit more on that spooky crystal stuff that ADVENT is afraid of in the book. There's the slightest nod to it in one of the scanning sites in-game but that was it. Sounded pretty interesting in the novel.

Commanders,

Why is it that my X2 now crashes when I get to the main menu when I'm online? I can play fine if I disconnect from the internet but for some reason if I'm online I get XCOM 2 Has stopped working. It never used to do this, I think only in the past month or so, and yeah I've tried all the easy solutions like verify cache and stop it from accessing the internet

I think it's something to do with the EULA that appears on startup since it doesn't appear offline, any ideas?

Also psi attacks I know for sure psi attacks are more difficult the further away a soldier is, so that can influence who they target.

>This is why you find out who has shit psy strength and disarm them and let them sit on the skyranger
But yeah, that's still true, though with a rocketeer you won't find out until it's too late.

>prepare for door breach
>get ambushed by patrol
>accidentally open door when throwing grenade
how do i make doors harder to open

>>163126043
Maybe you're right about opencom changing how psy works. My prefered tactic is still HE packs. I save the city by turning it into rubble.

>>163127067
>. My prefered tactic is still HE packs.
That's everyones preferred tactic

RETURN OF HE PACK WHEN

>>163125024
99% is more representative of xcom as a whole I think.

Thanks for the games Delta, that was the furthest any general I lurked has gone so it was pretty good imo, better luck next time!

I love those big towers. Stick 2 or 4 guys with HE gas cannons up there. But I'm curious, how did you save so many civilians?

>>163133129
If I had to guess, he removed ayy very efficiently causing panic mid way through the mission, some his guys got killed, so he gave targets for the ayys to shoot other than civs, and the smoke probably started to break los for the civs.
Also there was only like 10 ayys for the entire mission with 15 civs.

are there any mods for xcom2 to make suppression actually work?

Send Big Sky.

Also, thanks for the fun.

Maybe the better AI mod? idk.

not what happened at all. My first guy stepped a few steps out of the triton in smoke and got insta killed by a reaction. One of them sacrificed themselves for an ayy kill. Like 3/4ths of that smoke is from Magma-packs, not smoke. Is saving 4 civvies actually good? I mean I don't expect many to survive but 4 seems rather low.

Still smoke, doesn't matter where it came from. I figured it was from all the explosive you were tossing around anyway.

> I mean I don't expect many to survive but 4 seems rather low.
It's solid. Not amazing, but less surviving is pretty common.

>>163133519
Suppression plus
It's in the Pastebin

>>163134309
Doesn't that just buff suppression? I don't really think that would make it work.

how do i deal with 6man outsider chambers? for the sake of simplification assume that all other pods on the map are dead

>>163134489
Depend what you mean by "make it work"
Plus make the alien scared of running the overwatch, trigger it even if he run out of los, and give it EU opportunist

>>163134698
>Plus make the alien scared of running the overwatch
Yeah that would actually fix it, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

>>163134086
I was kinda joking because I don't give a dhit about civies

>>163082339
Thanks Doc.

What mod does Beagle use when he zooms close up to one of his soldier in long war?

Does that camera mod come with long war I can't remember?
