If I fucking knew I wouldn't have made the shot in the first place.

>>165116295
It had to have been bugged or showing the percentage for a standard shot instead of Rapid Fire. You can't miss 100%, its statistically impossible unless it encounters a skill like Ranger's Untouchable.

Has no one else here suffered this at least once?

Should I nab XCOM2 for $12 or wait until the inevitable game+expansion deal comes out?

>>165119403
I do the opposite because I don't like the idea of having equal or greater females to males. I accept them in XCOM because of variety but if it were real life I wouldn't have any female soldiers fighting aliens.

>Lily shuddered uncontrollably as the nurse's gloved hand came down to part her cheeks. Even with a layer of latex between the alien's skin and Lily's, she could feel the absolute lack of natural body heat in the disguised xeno. "Trust me." she whispered into the engineer's ear. "When you've gotten used to walking with this inside you.. you'll never want to take it out." she crooned to Lily as her other hand, wielding the ribbed probe, came ever closer to her rear end..

>Her insides quivered around the rigid rubber. She'd never had anything back there before barring a thermometer in her youth, and so Lily's backside was less than receptive to the probe. At a length of five inches, and a bottom girth of three inches, it was definitely nothing trivial for a novice at anal insertion. The thing was made of a solid core of hypersensitive alien alloy, surrounded by a ridged, bumpy layer of rubber; at the top, the alloy was exposed in order to allow it to 'collate brainwaves', or so the doctor had said.

Having played some Xenonauts and having experimented with different squad compositions, I have to wonder: are assaults/shotguns useless? After removing them from my squad I've realized that I function much more effectively. Earlier I has 2 assaults functioning as vanguard troops, the guys who would breach an area and soften it up before my other guys went in. I found that this function is borderline useless and needlessly puts men at risk.

My current squad composition is as follows:
>1x Scout (Pistol, shield, stun baton)
>1x Sniper (Sniper rifle, duh)
>1x Heavy Weapons (Heavy machinegun)
>5x Riflemen (Rifles)
My current strategy is extremel simple: I send the scout ahead to survey the area, not having to worry (too much) about his survivability because his shield helps him a lot. When he spots an enemy I usually fire at them with my riflemen, my sniper picks off key targets from a distance and under the cover of the rest of the squad my Heavy Weapons guy can get into position and suppress and/or annihilate enemies. Is this a good squad composition? I somehow feel like I'm puting too much emphasis on riflemen and not enough on 'special' (non-rifleman) units.

So, in short:
>What are shotguns/assaults even good for?
>Rate my squad composition.

There's a bug, might be mod related.

So you've selected your standard shot and now you're choosing who to fuck up. You decide to change to rapid fire/chain shot/whatever, the updated hit chance doesn't show, it's still showing the hit chance for a standard shot.

Basically, don't change what shot you're going to use while choosing your target because it won't update your displayed hit chance.

Is it something bad to make my squads in EU/2 all girls?

In EU, I would just ignore male recruits and only train females. In X2, I do recruit only females.

Bradford, Tygan and sciencists/engineer crew are the only males here, but I would gladly replace Tygan with some girl or force rest of my crew to be females as well. Except for Bradford, he is so badass that I would not dare to replace him.

I had shotguns for flank guard, since they supposedly react fast. Shield scouts forward, firepower is behind him, a guy with shotgun sits near any doors or approaches that haven't been explored yet. But that job can also kinda be done by a shield pistol guy, so yeah.

One thing I kinda started doing is carrying more weapons than soldiers. The sniper guy will usually carry a rifle to become a very accurate rifleman, the shotgun guy will carry a pistol so he can pick up a spare shield from the chinook and scout if there's no flank to guard. I also liked running two heavies because MGs are amazing.

So, what does that mean for lasers?

>>165157024
It means 5 tiers just like in long war

>>165157226
I'm a bit confused because atm lasers are the above magnetic-below beam tier. Are they getting reassigned into the "above conventional, below magnetic" tier or what?

>>165146734
You have a badass mother.

>>165157024
>>165157351
My guess is that this is the replacement for laser in the LW2 mod. Currently the laser tier is just a separate standalone mod to add to your campaign and nothing official.

>>165154986
I don't mind accessibility as long as harder difficulties can offer actual challenge. But I hope casuals will stick to vanilla and Long War won't waste their developing time pandering casuals. I wonder how long it will be in hours and if there will be an adjustable campaign length option like dynamic war. I tend to lose interest in my campaigns if they go on +50 hours.

Gonna feel weird upgrading from lasers to magnetics.

>>165161962
This.

That's why I use the xskin system so I can keep lasers at beam tier

>>165157024
Most likely it's the third tier, above Magnetic and below Coil.
>>165157837
I very much doubt that. Most LWS mods will probably be integrated into Long War one way or the other. The ones that might not (like that unpopular Leader mod) will likely remain as a submod.

There's no way they'd make a Long War mod be incompatible with Long War, and considering Laser occupies a tier that will be occupied by Coil, there's no chance it'll be compatible.

>>165162041
Nice, but I hope there's a way to change tiers. Visually Magnetic is way below Lasers. The amount of functioning moving parts alone is enough to put it above the clunky, thrown together look of Magnetic - not a bad thing mind you.


I also appreciate we'll finally have a better visual consistency between weapon tiers. Magnetic > Beam looked so weird it'd almost like we didn't research it but stole advanced prototypes directly from an ADVENT facility. Hope they do the same with armor.

It should really be conventional -> mag -> coil -> laser -> beam

>Long Dong 2 will have players purchase weapons rather than upgrade for everyone

Great, another hore than improvement. Also a reason for everyone to never install any additional parts on enything else than highest tier, unless you happen to grab that continent bonus for making them reusable (inb4 they will remove that too).

I seriously hope they will balance that with slower Avatar Project growth or at least tie it only to facilities to balance it out. Then it would make sense for war to take virtual years rather than months. And with more frequent facilities pooping, it would also mean more fights and more agressive players approach.

Sabotage or die, basically.

Then why didn't they do anything about that in EU? All it would have taken would be ONE pod activation animation with a reptilian tongue flicking out, snake eyes or rattlesnake sound for me to make a connection and go "Oh okay cool I get it"

This can be good only if, and that is a big IF, they balance the strategy layer and missions enemy HP around that fact.

I like that approach because the simple fact that you suddenly can manufacture weapons in your rag tag team of scientists and a autistic engineer.

If a soldier dies with a coil weapon early on, you will want to carry his ass out of the mission now, like the trailers implied you would care.

Also i hope that evacuating in a mission is possible without losing the god damn entire region.

>>165174963
Project Codename: Viperus
The subject's external appearance is that of a caucasian male. I would guess its age to be approximately 35 years old, although it's quite likely this is an artificial effect intentionally affixed by the aliens. The specimen is roughly two meters in height, and weighs just over 80 kilograms. Despite its outward appearance, upon dissection, the creature's unique organ and bone structure is revealed to be distinctly alien in nature. The subject's bones are segmented, rather like the vertebrae of a serpent. This segmented structure appears to give the creature a spectacular range of motion in combat.

A large portion of the specimen's thoracic cavity is devoted to enormous glands capable of producing a toxin that is then expelled via ducts with considerable force.
-------------------------------------------

>>165174963

The autopsy report clearly states that the thin mints are "reptilian in nature", we can catch glimpses of snake eyes behind their teashades, and the whole thing was a pretty obvious homage to the Snakemen of older games.

I strongly suggest getting Mission Penalty Rebalance, anon, stops that shit, means you can also skip missions you just don't want to do which is great for VIP missions late game when you just don't need a 10th Engineer, it also makes dark events complete in the usual time instead of instantly activating if you fail a gorilla op. it does however make retaliation missions like Long War though in the sense that there's rarely a benefit, you're just mitigating how much region income you lose

I even have ideas about the skills themselves, albeit overpowered ("Resist Crossfire" - increase of defense after being targeted by enemy fire of any kind, last for two turns, for Shocktrooper of Commando spec; "Sentry Spirit" - automatic Overwatch after hunkering down, combined with "Dig in" - automatic hunkering down after ending turn without firing, additional +10 defense and +10 aim, for Gunner spec; flamethrower as final or semi-final skill for Shocktrooper; rifle attached grenade launcher as final or semi-final for Scout; "Battle Song" - aim and defense bonuses for soldiers aroung Engineer, in similar to Psi-Op aura skill and so on).

Too bad I know nothing about making animations.

Still, how could Lancer/Mortarer work, I wonder? X2 dont have tanks or similar armored targets and even in VC nobody was interested in utilizing mortars when everybody and their mothers had grenades on their own, for similar effect.

>>165182438
Mortars could be even longer ranged than Grenade Launchers but they have a really good chance of going off target.

Using them in danger close situations would be suicide, and using them in regular combat is a dice roll at best.

Lancers sound like perma EXO suits without needing the EXO suit.

>>165182826

>Lancers sound like perma EXO suits without needing the EXO suit.

Lancers in VC were your anti-tank units - resistant to explosions and (in first VC only) also carrying shields reducing damage from enemy bullets. Their weapon (and only one - they didnt carry sidearms) was VC variation of Panzerfaust, modeled after medieval lance and fired as such (with both hands). Their main limitation (save for slow movement) was limited amunition - while other classes primary weapons had unlimited ammo, lances were limited to three "tips" at max (which made certain characters like Audrey, who could restock her ammunition during combat with her potential, very valuable).

Since VC2, they lost the shield and anti-bullet defense bonus (shield was transfered to new class, purely melee Armored Tech), while still being resistant to explosions and the like.

It did 19.
Biggest single shot damage I've ever seen.
Even Railgun Crits havn't done that.

>>165185606
The real explanation is that the Faceless' space transport was too delayed for X1, so the Eths had to improvise with thin men.

This can't be right

why are so many fucking streamers straight up shit at xcom? these are the kind of dipshits who cry and whine that RNG is unfair and that the game is too hard. my autism gets triggered super bad that people play this way. like how do you ever get better at the game when you just constantly make the same mistakes over and over and not learn anything from it?

Is this for XCOM2? If so I would assume the problem may be any un-optimized mods you are running.

There's your problem right there. Braindead egomaniac.

Some serious "Room before the final room" vibes on right now.

>why are so many fucking streamers straight up shit at xcom

And why so many streamers are bad at any games that require some planning and thinking over?

Because most streamers dont sow their gameplay for gameplay itself or to show their skills - they stream for being e-celeb, to show off themsleves to people, to beg for money and other disgusting practices.

A lot of Dark Souls stream recordings are like "wowowow look at this guys, I died again, SO HARD AMIRITE?". And people watch this and nod, usually not knowing that guy/girl in question could easily avoid that boss strike, if he/she paid attention or do a little research before.

But no, they run on memes. And one of the memes is "ITS XCOM BABE your guys will die over and over and miss 5 shoots in row and die to that lucky snipe from across the map". Without even bothering to realize that the "lucky snipe" could be avoided with proper cover utilizing or that dodging enemy could get his own cover blown first. Or flanked.

Yes Im mad.

>>165186481

Do you happen to have Arc Thrower? The enemy in that room is worth to catch, if you can.

>>165186134
XCOM2, yes, I'm playing without mods
>>165186312
Those are not too bad, the worse load times are during deploy before missions

I'm just gonna shill Joinrbs again. Dude's legit good at LW, holds a few records in X2, and is working with Lump on LW2. He doesn't stream much, but you can see a lot of his content on youtube under the same name. A bit part of it is that he doesn't stream to be an e-celeb, he streams because he wants to show off how to be good at the damn game. I learned a lot from his streams/series', give him a shot.

>>165186513
>>165187131

i guess that's what bugs me the most. that's like the real underlying issue i have with a lot of streamers and streaming in general. too many of them just want to be e-celeb donation whores. rather than just playing games for fun and having some people watch, they remove their brain and LOL XDDD I DYED over every little thing.

>>165187428
And most of them are donation whores (gotta make a living somehow). Doesn't mean the model is bad or that some of them aren't really good.

I know that repeater against kings is lame, but this time I didnt feel like it was wrong.

>>165186481

i don't watch the guy at all. just saw he was the top streamer and decided to check it out. 2 minutes of his bullshit play and i noped out. is he really THAT bad of a person?

Haven't checked in on /xcg/ in like six months, what's been happening? Any big mods, news on expansion etc?

Long Dong 2 announced.

>>165174374
Eurogamer article that says it will be more accessible to casuals says there will be more to the strategy layer.

The different benefits from tech levels is from their forum I think.

ETA?

>>165188610
Almost single handedly killed the Blands player/streamer base.
Steals content and encourages an army of followers to enforce his ego.
No one can do content anymore since he so thoroughly has done everything. With his higher numbers his stuff will circulate around faster than anyone elses stuff.

He once stole a Krieg build I had theory crafted in a forum and passed it off as his own.

Imagine the next day when I see he has a fresh video with my exact gear/specs/ even my fucking cosmetics.

So yeah fuck that guy.

That's kind of what the Nep (and Evangelion) dude did. Is this because of the "can't erase the operative's eyes and teeth" thing?

Actually, do you guys think those abilities are overpowered or only slightly?

<UPDATE>
Game wouldn't load for a good few minutes, so tried to go out of it with alt-tab. After that, the screen went black and nothing happened until I reset the whole system
