XCOM 1 and XCOM 2 are both canon, stop spreading mis-information

what is this picture?
In the middle of a hurricane?
Does xcom2 have weather effects to influence the battle?

>>164885156
Never panic is better. +2 on medkits is nothing considering how hard most enemies hit. Besides, a normal medkit will heal your rookies fully, and you shouldn't be getting hit anyway.

>>164885242
XCOM 1 is but isn't canon at the same time. The enemies you encounter, the weapons/tech you develop, and the characters are all canon. But the way the story goes past maybe the first few missions is not.

>>164885369
No, you don't know what you are talking about. XCOM 1 victory is canon, this is stated by the devs.
>: Yeah, I view it as – you can already hear the designer bullshit coming out in my voice, but – this is the way I view it, and I think it’s fair, when we were talking about this idea we were like,"You know, the setting for XCOM 2 is actually going to be if XCOM lost the first game." And I think a lot of people had this reaction of, "Wait a minute, I just invested all this time and I beat XCOM." To me it feels like every time you start a new game of XCOM, you’re kind of spinning off an alternate universe – and so, in the worlds where you beat XCOM, there just never was an XCOM 2, you know? This is just in case somebody actually lost a game of XCOM, which has happened, and this is a chance to go to that world and try it out.

That makes no sense but it does makes sense at the same time.

>>164885554
Except Jake Solomon is fucking retarded because he apparently doesn't even know that the Losing Ending in EU isn't even similar to how its presented in 2. Don't say its alternate universes where you lose when the lose state doesn't even lead into the next game.

>>164886084
>Don't listen to the writer on what is canon, listen to me
For real. It's not difficult, the canon defeat in X1 is different than the canon defeat in X2. Alternate Universe. There isn't room for debate when canon is literally what the writers say it is.

You dont have to physically collet the meld?
I just have to kill the ayys before they run out?
cool

>>164886335
Yeah, and don't be afraid to let the meld go. It's not terribly important in the early game.

>>164885554
>You know, the setting for XCOM 2 is actually going to be if XCOM lost the first game
But how you lost in XCOM 2 is a completely different series of events than how you lost in 1. How the story of EU progresses according to XCOM 2 isn't even the same.
>>164886286
Then an Alternate Universe thats not EU's actual storyline and ending is canon, not EU itself.

>>164886286
Then you've said it yourself, EU's story isn't canon to 2.

>>164886485
I don't think you understand what alternate universe means. The important part is that xcom lost in X2, not how they lost. Even if I accepted your argument, it would just mean that only the XCOM 1 victory is canon.

>>164886676
Yeah, but XCOM 1 is still canon. That's the point, they are both canon, because they both have different canons. Like I said at the very beginning.

>>164886681
Or its possible how X2 presents it is a retcon. Who fucking knows at this point, I just wish he didn't write himself into a corner on the continuity here.

That sounds reasonable but having to wait that much more time for a new TFtD would be quite painful.

>>164886970
>They can make XCOM 3 a sequel to a XCOM 1 victory
While they could I feel like they won't so people don't get even more confused. Also I don't even know where they'd go from there since the big bad Elder gets blasted in the Victory ending and his whole monologue throughout the missions makes him out as the head of it all.

Usually people start training a new A Team later in the game just to take more advantage of the Iron Will.

At first I didnt planned to make a rookie named after me, but guildmate asked why, so I made one. When I started the game, in operation Gatecrasher I noticed that game randomized me 3 random guys and "my" character. Game tried to tell me something or what?

I prefer disabling shot as it lets you neuter Sectopods, and mimetic skin will take care of your scouting needs.

>>164899861
Personally I like disabling shot because it's basically guaranteed to shut down 1 enemy for a turn, which is fantastic for high health, big damage dudes.
Aggression is great for those rapid fire crit assault builds.

I want a "tier 0" weapon system, where recruits bring Dad's old /k/ommando arsenal.

"Tier 2" is mag weapons that can't be manufactured until a workshop is built

A nation won't leave until they're at level 5 panic, even then they won't leave until the end of the month. Launching a satellite 1 day before the end of the month will stop them from leaving. If you fail a terror mission though they instantly leave, no matter what panic level they're at.

Still no Long Dong info? Come on, are they really not going to say anything until next week?

If you interrogate a floater you get research credit for lower tier armours including carapace.

Experimental warfare is good if you've got extra cash. With EW you can immediately start working on Tactical Rigging which gives every soldier an extra inventory slot. Don't be afraid to take 2 grenades.

>>164914510
>People kept telling me Frags were the only way to go.
They are. If you kill the ayys before they injure you, there won't be a need for a medkit. You still want one medkit just in case though.

Revive is dead weight most of the time but the one occasion you might need it you will really miss it if you don't have it. Most of the time suppression will help you avoid such circumstances for ever happening in the first place but it won't save you all the time.

Those crits through heavy cover, under suppression and flash bang'd are know for a reason.

Aim and crit while away from allies is only good on snipers, but they don't need aim or crit. The other is pretty good because will becomes more important later on with psionics.

It was great playing an xcom game from that... perspective.

>>164917678
Yes, he's always a heavy. I prefer rapid fire, shredder, heat, but really heat is the only mandatory pick up as the double overwatch isn't as good as it sounds. To get the second overwatch, you need to hit the first and since heavies don't have great aim it's kind of shit.

In case you haven't noticed yet, it's a big mistake to activate two pods at once, especially on terror missions. Sometimes it's unavoidable but you want to be very conservative with your movements and only tread explored ground during active engagements.

>>164910427
Bullet swarm

>>164928587
Can your support throw a smoke and shoot in the same turn? I don't remember what the very first support perk did on vanilla, but drugs are kinda pointless if you don't have that.

Anyway get dense smoke, drugs are mainly useful in your second, lategame A-team, after you've unlocked psionics.

>>164928587
Tbh I've never used drugs ever. Before you unlock psi its pure shit, on the other hand smoke might help you out of some sticky situations. After you get psi its still kind of pointless because mind shield + psi inspiration is usually enough will to mind control anything, and the main point of smoke grenades is to cover your guys if you absolutely have to take shots from aliens.

>>164926304
Poison only lasts a few turns if I recall correctly. Max 5 damage or something like that. Pretty sure there's a poison grenade you can get if you really want to torture the ayys.

>>164956424

Group of alines. When you start a mission, game places few of such groups on the map. If you get into sight range of one, it "activates" and start to fight you. Until that, tehy just stay in place.

Thats why people advise to move with caution unless you are pushed by time - in optimal situation, you could fight only one pod at once, with numbers advantage and reduce risk of losing one of your guys.

Lucubration or something similar was the Infantry class' author.

And I would ALWAYS keep the original classes just because of how damn essential a Specialist is for the distance hacking - unless you have a class that picks up that slack.

>>164958875

At first I saw this as "Lubrication". Im too much tainted it seems.

Don't know if y'all have seen it, but XCom 2 is on the humble monthly for $12

In case, you've been holding off becaus of funds or know somebody who wants it.

It's not a bad game by most metrics. Just a different type of game than the other xcoms. It seems now that it became so cheap alot of /xcg/ folks are coming around to thinking it wasn't that bad. Definitely not great but not bad.

>>164961231
I couldn't really get into it, which is a shame because everything about it but it just falls a bit flat. It vaguely reminds me of Destroy All Humans, but without the charm that game had.

thx bb

For my next time I'm thinking let my sniper heal up and give everyone all the frags.

I went through the buildings on the right the first time. Maybe I'll go left through the docks instead. Hopefully avoid a couple engagements and save some frags/rockets. Anything else I should know?
Also how long can I put off the mission before its gone? My Sniper needs 6 days to heal.

This is all I have left. Do I restart?

I think you'll have to kill those lids anyway during the process of activating the transponder then gtfoing. You should roughly know where they are from the first time so plan accordingly to activate only one group at a time.

>>164965495
yeah I'm hoping to avoid them all if I stick to the docks proper

So basically they want me to be dashing just to get there in time.

>>164965985
Commander's choice.

>>164965228
I remember seeing how much time they had left in hours near the mission names, was that from a mod?

Just bought XCOM 2. What am I in for and how do I not die fast? Is it like in XCOM where you just blitz out satellites?

Nope, Jake specifically wanted to avoid that kind of a mechanic.

>>164959202
>Lubrication
I've never realized it's not that until this very moment.

>>164964105
deleted and reposted because the greentext was a terrible idea

Newfoundland tips:
-Back route is safer, docks run the risk of multiple activations.
-Bring lots of explosives (you won't get loot anyway) and high-damage classes and shotguns. A flashbang will slow the lids down but you shouldn't need one. Snipers are poor, shotgun assaults are great.
-When you get to the ship, camp on the deck, around the opening, and keep killing lids until they stop spawning.
-You can have your fastest soldier call the airstrike and give everyone else a headstart.

>>164966393
You know they stop spawning because you'll skip a turn and no lids will spawn.

>>164966406
>Go until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death

>>164964646
You should have couple of Assaults, Support and heavies.

Snipers is really out of the question, as soon you're in ship, and going back to starting point.

>>164966819
Sure, easily. I'd exclude the sniper unless you're bringing her because you want her leveled up, and unless I'm misremembering the vanilla weapon stats, a ballistic shotgun will do you more good than a even a laser rifle on the one assault.

>>164966102

In X2 you can play pretty fine without rushing sats (this time in form of resistance comms) for first two or three months. I played without covering more than 3 regions for first few months, but I played on normal, so commander and up will probably need them faster, not because of founds, but because of being able to reach regions with Avatar Project facilities, before doom clock fills up.

There are other ways of getting supplies mid-month and pretty effective at that.

>>164907292
Will these be compatible with vanilla kevlar?

Am I total shit, /xcg/?

Because I still consider early game of X2 harder than EW, mid-game being pretty comfortable, with end-game being harder again.

Yet, when I check opinions around, I constantly run into statements that "wow, game is TOO EASY, after magnetic weapons and first armor, its CAKEWALK, I play on Legendary/Ironman and WOW ITS SO EASY, I even dumped more aliens and Better Advent and Better AI and WOW ITS STILL SO EASY, cant compare to Jagged Alliance 2".

In the meantime, I really have to think about approach, to wipe aliens before they do some serious damage to my guys, because of dodges, higher hp pools and additional abilities. If not the wider arsenal on my squad side (grenedes, various types of ammo, etc) I would make it.

So, I am really that bad and everyone else clear it without even trying?

>>164967153
Theres Mass Effect armors and UNSC Armors for sure.
The UNSC armors are the Reach versions specifically.

What id Advent somehow cloned dinosaurs and strapped rocket launchers to them.

>>164969787
If you can't wipe them all out in a single turn then work on minimizing the damage they'll be able to deal. Flashbangs, stasis, that kinda shit. Especially flashbangs, a well placed flashbang had saved my squads ass (or at least infirmary time) more times than I can count.

What if they did WW1

>>164971296

You dont understand. I DO those kind of things - I quickly learned the importance of battle scanners, flashbangs, smoke grenedes, Aid Protocol (especially combined with that skill also automatically placing overwatch to affected soldier) and such.

Only first missions had people wounded enough to put them off for 30 days without AWC (luckily, I made it quickly), now I mostly dont lose too much and even if, I have backup people (I do savescum with hacking, tho, I admit that).

And I play on normal. I do consider difficulty fair overall (with more fluctuations compared to EU/EW).

What I ask about is how I freqently run into people claiming that X2 is way too easy and how they do everything without effort on Legendary Ironman, then add mods adding new enemy types, improving AI and in general buffing enemy forces, then still claims its way too easy and lament how games today are shit, will never iprove and how old games were good and hard and all.

I do remember 1.13 Jagged Alliance 2 myself and I dont really consider it MUCH harder than what I see in X2, just different.

Whenever I see such comments, tho, I feel like a shit. And I have very low self esteem.

i want it like in the orignal where soldiers may or may not have a talent for it and get abilities in addition to their class.

They are all cuties but dzikusek is also cutie name.

>>164973018

I wonder how game randomize the nicknames for your soldiers.

"Dzikusek" basically means "little savage" which could be tied to her blademaster spec. But at the same time, first soldier to reach high enough rank to get one - specialist - got "Black Widow".

Any known mods that destroy the performance of this game? I used to run this on max when it first came out, beat it a few times and came back after 6 months or so to check out the mod scene, installed maybe 40 or 50 mods and played through twice and kt was a little slow. Just came back again and took some mods away/added a bunch more and now it stutters along at bare minimum settings. Wtf? I added a bunch of new maps, armor customization, ai overhaul, ragdoll overhaul, basically about 75% of things in the OP copypasta but I didnt expect this to happen.

Any advice for a passing Commander, Commanders?

Sorry I don't think I can help you. I think you either make wrong tactical decisions or you have some really fucked up team comp. Oh and stack aim maybe that's something you aren't doing. Xcom 2 is all about aim stacking.

>>164914036
hunkering down stops you from taking poison damage.
you can hunter down every turn until the poison is gone completely.
that could be a longwar thing though and not actually in the vanilla game.

>>164974050
Honestly it sounds to me like you're doing just fine, besides, what's wrong with thinking your turn out? How are you doing in your current game?

I wish I knew that yesterday to try. He was a good trooper.

>>164974806

No, no, no. I dont say I cant win missions or that game is too hard. I find it harder than EU/EW but still fair.

What I ask is if Im bad for considering that, since I frequently run into opinions of people considering highest difficulty with enemy buffing mods as too easy.

>>164975425
Hunkering down does not stop poison damage in Vanilla

>>164975830
Well I personally run a critstacked Ranger anytime I possibly can and just aid protocol him as he goes on endless rampage or cutting everything to death. An invested Ranger is really broken in X2 but the early game is easily the hardest point of X2 because of how tightly they pack you on time alongside Specialist and Ranger being kind of ass at Squaddie.
