I took a mission on swarming because I was desperate for corpses. So I went in armed to the teeth expecting to lose half my squad.

And then after I broke concealment the enemies in the game just stopped moving and just became targets. It's nice having all those corpses now but if I don't think I'll be doing that anymore.

>>168708206
The flamethrower seems extremely weak in LW2.

>>168710961
It can disable entire pods while doing damage, the problem is that the range isn't long enough for a mid range class. Also, the long war team thought it was a good idea to change it so burning disables ranged abilities without telling the player.

Is there a tier 2 grenade launcher in LW2? I'm starting to face Archons, and my grenadier's are starting to seriously lack in punching power.

>>168711681
You need the Andromedon autopsy for it. Pretty sure it only increases the range and radius.

>>168711681
advent mecs I am pretty sure, though grenadiers are pretty shit in LW2 overall.

Y/N?

>>168712065
It's an issue with memory; certainly independent of system specs, because it happens to me with 16GB of RAM and only ~6GB being used in total. Turning down the graphics settings a little eliminates the bug in my case.

Regardless, it should be saving on your last turn before mission end, so I don't see how you're having problems replicating your actions.

>>168711638
They also thought it was a good idea of having neither Panic nor Burning be guaranteed at any point during the game, not even by the time you get incendiary bombs. Technicals don't scale well at all and their perk tree could use a rework.Same with SPARKs, I have no idea what the ass fuck they were thinking when they put together the LW2 SPARKs.

Am I supposed to do every single event in every area of xcom 2 or they pop up randomly and I have to ignore them? What are the most important events?

>>168708363

Technicals are fine early on, and in light missions where the alpha strike actually accounts for a large amount of the total enemies you fight.

But yea, they are pretty shit later on.

It really is frightening how awfully thought out LW2 SPARKs are. Just taking a casual glance at the tier 1 perks is enough to reduce grown men to autistic screeching, I'm pretty sure more in depth looks at how they work has caused people to commit suicide. People who complain about Technicals have no idea, just no idea at all about the real struggle.

Only 5 soldiers KIA but so many wounds cycling in and out of the roster. 60 soldier roster just isn't nearly enough with the arrival of mechtoids.

>>168713827
To be fair, the fire redirection thing is actually pretty decent. If you throw a smoke grenade on a SPARK, they're borderline impossible to hit. Slap on a Aid Protocol and your spark now has so much defense enemies accidentally kill themselves when they try to attack it.

>>168714653
I'm pretty sure wrecking ball is the most underrated perk in the game.

Ghetto combat engineer is OP

>>168714971
Its definitely worth considering, but I've found that its usefulness varies wildly. Sometimes its a gamechanger, other times it never really comes into play. Would be nice if it was built in on every spark by default quite frankly.

So is it XCOM canon that the Aliens have visited us before the invasion? The Bureau aside(which may or may not be canon) were Roswell and other related incidents Alien scouts probing us? Seems like the XCOM initiative was activated pretty fast after all.

>>168744624
during the final mission on X2
you find a recreation of a normal human home
and Bradford mentions that there have always been reports of missing civilians even before the invasion

that and what you just said, its possible that the world governments had some knowledge of alien life and a risk of an invasion prior to the events of EU/EW

>>168745148

Given EU's use of UFO mythology and conspiracy, I always took it as implied that the alien threat was known before they actually revealed themselves. To the Council, at least.

>>168744624
>>168746368
This, XCOM was in effect long before the commander, they had the bare bones groundwork laid out to get the ball rolling quickly IF invasion happened. Bradford was ready to go when they landed in Germany, with the Skyranger and a ready reserve of soldiers.

>>168746978

Yeah, the base (which I always imagined was hidden somewhere out in Buttfuck, Africa) was obviously dug out and ready for use. There was probably a skeleton crew permanently stationed there, including the rapid response team we see fly out to Germany for first contact. Bradford may or may not have been part of the standby garrison, but I think Vahlen and Shen got flown out when they activated the XCOM project.

>>168747259
Makes sense, Vahlen and Shen have that bit of friction in the beginning. Makes me appreciate those no-name, sweatered nerds in the hologlobe room. Living underground with each other for company for who knows how long, completely cut off from anyone without a quadruple maximum security clearance.

>>168748049
Oh, and I guess according to canon, they never see the light of day again.

>>168748049
>Living underground with each other for company for who knows how long
if the xcom project isn't active and only the most basic posts are being manned wouldn't they have shifts?
they probably cant talk about it with anyone but at least they would be able to go out

>>168748835

They WOULD be allowed to go out, if a bored and restless Bradford didn't keep inspecting them and revoking their weekend passes for various infractions.

>>168748835
Maybe, with a good enough front. But you wouldn't want people being seen coming and going in and out of your secret base too often.

The real question is who is feeding all these agents and where are they getting the food? Delivery by top secret government food truck drivers?

>>168749682

There's probably something on top of the base. A "meteorology station" or "power plant" or something else that would justify occasional deliveries.

>when Long War gets cute with the terror missions

This month's flavor is mutons, of all varieties. The hot LZ had 2 berserkers and a muton, and every. single. pod. afterward. had another berserker along with more mutons, and one little floater as team mascot.

People are freaking out from how close these things are getting before Vasquez pulls double overtime with close combat specialist round after round, killing them literally as they turn around to smash team leader Tran to bits.

All rockets went out in the first three turns and red fog is scaring off rogue mutons we couldn't spare the firepower to kill. Thankfully between the sight blocking cover of these cars and the many civilians running around making big targets of themselves, the mutons haven't taken a shot at the squad.

Still one wounded and two healthy mutons watching us, six civilians wasted, and a cyberdisc pod floating around somewhere else. I call this one berserker alley, and hope everyone leaves it alive, including the big girl the squad managed to stun.

So, I am having a problem with my Long War 1 game crashing.

Every time I try to load the game, it goes to the "Spinning Logo" thing and then crashes to desktop. The other save files load just fine, and I tried reinstalling the game and the Long War mod but it didn't fix anything.

I am not sure what to do. I am several months into my campaign. Fuck.

Actual answer; uh, you're probably yolofucked man, sometimes LW1 saves just get corrupted and screw you, because fuck the player I guess.

>>168767635
This, I hope they go back to the slower-paced tactical game in XCOM 3. Maybe in an expansion they can remove some of the timer bullshit.

>>168768658
There are lots of timer-free missions in Lw2 after the early game. EW-style breaching is still pretty rare though, probably because the maps are so open. I think it's probably the dynamic maps that do it desu.

Of course, congalines would be suicide with the yellow alert mechanic anyway.

There's probably no hope of hiding that the land belongs to some kind of military base, what with the interceptors and Big Sky needing to fly in and out all the time. It's probably just disguised as an ordinary run-of-the-mill-non-alien-related military base. They shouldn't have any problem getting people and supplies in and out that way.

So what would you want in an official expansion to XCOM 2 or LW2?

>Enemy variety tweaked so that by midgame the Advent Soldier to Alien ratio is no more than 1:1.

>Advent Psi Shaman. Advent soldier with psi abilities. 100% support unit that doesn't attack the player. Has Fortress (that transfers to adjacent units), Inspire, Mind Meld and a new ability, Soul Transfer, which allows the Psi Shaman to bring back any dead non-robotic unit (including XCOM units). The unit comes back fully, not as a zombie, and its HP is equal to the HP the Psi Shaman had when it used the ability. Using this ability causes the Psi Shaman to die.

>Advent Psi Shocker. An offensive Psionic Advent soldier. Has Soulfire, Soul Steal, Pyrokinesis, Null Lance and a new ability, Psi Shock. Psi Shock kills either the Psi Shocker or an ally unit. The attack does an amount of Psi damage equal to the amount of HP the sacrificed unit had.

>Advent Suicide Bomber. Variant of Stun Lancer with lower stats for aim, damage and stun-chance, but higher mobility and explodes in a 9-space area upon death. Variants that do acid, fire or poison damage with their explosion.

>Upgrade to the Defense Matrix that lets you deploy your own XCOM Drones similar to the Advent Hunter/Surveillance Drones.

>Cybernetic augmentations to soldiers. And I mean turn them into cyborgs. Not cut their fucking heads off and stick it on a robot body. I mean what the fuck was up with that in the first game? That's not what a fucking cyborg, man. I felt so bad for the soldiers I turned into MECs.

>A stealth unit like the Seeker in XCOM. Burrowing Chryssalids just don't cut it.

>>168771510
If they update XCOM2, then LW2 will also update.

>>168756097
Uhh many of those are simply bomb missions. The exceptions are like van doorn and science man. Annette, the furies, and Zhang are dlc like alien hunters and shen's last gift.

it takes some getting used to--lost my first few campaigns even on lowest difficulty due to not staying on the avatar project's ass from the get-go and every waking moment afterwards (one particular time i kept getting rapid-fire events that raised it so by my fourth mission or so it was at 10/12 and had no resources to spread out/locate anything to stop it, it was fucking ridiculous)

once you get used to it, it's a lot of fun.

personally i'm still on the fence about LW2, it's got a crazy sharp difficult spike, and there's so much micromanaging and letting things simmer that it really kills the enjoyment for me so far, since i got here from fire emblem and advance wars

Vs. Rulers yes.

In LW 1 how many Interceptors should I have for shooting down UFOs? The way my air game is going they're a big priority. I'm almost 3 months in and I've had to let a few UFOs go because all 6 interceptors I have are being repaired.

I had a some really bad luck against on unidentified Light class UFO and four of my Ravens got damaged before they shot it down.

>>168782668
you want a fuckload of interceptors. more interceptors than you think is reasonable. keep fresh interceptors on separate continents and transfer them to your home base when shit gets real.

>>168781780
how the fuck are they not useful. they do damage on detonation in a huge radius with dot

>>168782668

literally as many as possible. you should be using up the vast majority of your early-game resources on interceptors

I think you should stay at 6 if you're on one continent, then add 2-3 for each additional continent. You can go to 12 for one continent if you want to be able to fight medium UFOs, but it's really expensive and not worth it IMO. I prefer keeping a small number and almost never engaging mediums.

>>168782668
The unidentified light is the fighter class, they're tough and always dangerous because of good aim. It's only worth sending your best pilots with cutting edge weapons against them, same with the destroyer class later on. Sending anything less is just asking for long repair times on multiple jets and no control over your skies, which is exactly the reason the aliens send a fighter/destroyer.

>>168783498
My issue with X2 is that it's a big step back in UI and performance. Atrocious load times where EW loads instantly. Delays after every order that don't fully go away even with mods. A less functional UI because they didn't want to use screen space or something [which is also part of why you have to research every vanilla item out of game, apparently providing enough space for full perk/item descriptions wasn't among the design goals for the vanilla UI.. hehe minimalism xDDD].

What can I afford to dump here? I still have meld but I'm at the stage where I use it for important foundry upgrades/items/research, and I'm not sure I want to sell any more elerium either because that's right around the corner too.

>>168786571
In descending order: floater corpses>meld>lid>drone>mint
you can also ditch a touch of elerium or a power source, but you'd be trading earlygame shortages for midgame ones

>>168786571
Sell mutons only if you have done ammo conservation. It's important and getting corpses for it is kinda hard.

>>168786623
you're a casual.

>>168786891
I sold some corpses and a bit of elerium and one fusion core, keeping the other for research. Hired 6 rookies already and have a bit left over, is a SHIV program worth having at this point? It would cost 60 for the shiv, 75 for the laser, 30 for the absolutely necessary HEAT ammo, I could sell like 10 more elerium and afford a second shiv, but there are also a thousand other things I need to fund.

The beautiful thing about LW is that nobody can agree on the correct strategy for a lot of things. It will be strong is all I can say.

Personally I'd rather sell all the meld before selling even a single piece of elerium. Are you saving it for MECs? That's the only reason I can think of to keep it. I guess you can also use it for salvage projects but they're a bit too expensive for my taste pre-lategame.

I still need to research biocybernetics and some of the psi stuff I'm developing uses meld, I'm also augmenting a few key scouts with thin man legs one at a time. MECs I know are going to be way too expensive to fund for a long time, but I do have gravely wounded soldiers I could get back in the field if I invested in even one suit.

Just fatigue wounded 8 soldiers so I think we'll get through the alien deployment push, but I probably will buy the SHIVs as well. The rookies aren't going to be much help when mechtoids are showing up on even light missions.

>>168788234
The issue with the dlcs is that they're too hard but also very predictable. The first time you go, you get raped, sure. Then you either watch a video or do the mission a couple times. Eventually you have a reproducible strategy that works every time because the spawns are scripted, and it nets you massive rewards that make the rest of the campaign a lot easier.

Every campaign I cringe when I get newfoundland, even though I've done hundreds of abductions and only a dozen newfoundlands. Because the abductions have risk and variety, in newfoundland I just repeat the strategy that works every time and get a safe easy payout.

>>168788469

I think I got maybe 2 missions over the entire month and none of them came with especially high mission timers.

Am I just unlucky or should liberated provinces be set to full supplies mode? Seems like no matter what I do most of missions come from where-ever the avenger is scanning.

LW1 or LW2? LW1 gauss rush is certified trap, barely worth it even if you pull it off perfectly. I don't know about LW2.

>>168814462
You'll know when you get it.

>>168820448
Disclaimer, never made it to endgame.

But from what I understand, liberated regions are supposed to pump out resources. The avenger counts for like 4 rebels in intel modded. That's all I can really guess at.

>>168820448
Liberated regions are supply depots, nothing else really. Occasionally, you'll switch them to recruit (mostly after invasions kill everyone), but otherwise they're supply depots only.

Is it? I'm about to start a LW run.

>>168828165
Yes it is. If you have repair then it's certain doom. If you turn it off, it might work. The problem is you have to get through ballistics without losing people or you are still in a worse position even with slightly more resources. And Phoenix canons suck compared to laser canons.
Just follow standard weapon progression, you can skip most of the pulse laser tier, but you still might make a few and at least need the research to upgrade your laser canons.

Dear /xcg/.

A simple question about editor and animations.

What notification actually forces character to pickup grenade launcher from the back in launching animation and replace primary weapon? And, funny enough, I failed to figure out, which notification actually launch the grenade.

I wanted to make a skill that would look like launching grenade from primary weapon, like from under-barrel, but once again lost myself a bit while examining existing animations.

Also, what animation sequence should be included in package? I mean, can skill draw sequences from different packages when needed?

I said "again" since Im that guy, who kept asking questions about flamethrower animation. Simple working on modifying existing animations and it once again gave me will to play video games and most importantly - to have fun with them.

Or, for example, would just using heavy plasma rifle reloading animation with imported notification be better idea for such skill? ("AC_NO_ReloadA" from package "AS_SoldierHeavyPlasma").

The issue with gauss rush is that laser is dirt cheap and fast. By the time you're researching gauss you'll be crying because laser will be a trivial 5-day tech and you've only saved like 250 bucks and 40 alloys by forcing yourself to fight floaters and worse with ballistics. And you're not even saving from laser cannons, you're just getting an equivalent weapon for equivalent cost with a big delay.

There's a mec rush which reportedly works a lot better since it replaces the massive costs of laser cannons with much cheaper boosters, but I haven't tried it.

>>168829678
Robots are immune to fire

>>168830557
It's kind of dumb to skip/delay lasers for interceptors because you're eventually going to research pulse and build supercaps.

>>168770742
You're gonna need to tweak the ini to get the weapons to line up with the others correctly in terms of stats, but guys are already working on a mod for that, so perhaps all you need to do is wait.

>Not cut their fucking heads off and stick it on a robot body
They just amputated the arms and legs. I still don't know why doing that caused their vocal cords to sound all mechanicaly, but there it is.

>>168831358
Not if you get the perk for technicals

>>168832995
The mechanical voice might be a filter applied for intimidating enemies.

I remember xcom 2 came out with some issues like poor framerate and more importantly unresponsive UI. Thinking of buying but I'd rather pirate if its still a piece of shit.

XCOM alien petting zoo when?

>Implying you wouldn't feed a baby berserker.

>>168835401
Too bad you missed the 12 buck deal. I think it's worth the money, and if you pirate you'll be making one of the arguably best features much more difficult to take advantage of (modding). But it's up to you. The framerate has improved past release, though if you don't have a good system it's still notable. The games unresponsiveness (built in delays) is mostly resolved by mods

>much like how EW is better than XCOM2

I would agree if XCOM 2 had an expansion, but no, it doesnt have an expansion of the size of EW.

Its like if you were saying that god damn EU was better than XCOM 2, the base content of the vanilla game is miles better than EU and a few steps from begin near EW tier.

Lets wait for the expansion first.

>LW2 turned out to be worse than LW1
>a mod that took years of alpha/beta testing is better than a mod that took months of alpha and then beta testing
>a mod that is still begin worked on and is waiting for probably the expansion to come out into play

Is like you motherfuckers never were there when EU and Long War came out before EW.

You didnt get to know the true pain of a vanilla XCOM and shitty Long War alpha
