You need a certain amount of cumulative soldier ranks to build it. Just keep leveling your entire roster.

After grabbing most of the first timer recommended stuff from the modlist I also picked up a bunch of the cosmetic stuff. Why is this in particular causing a conflict? I'm not a modder by any means but I can't see why a cosmetic armour mod would be changing UI classes.

>>171516058
A detected "conflict" doesn't necessarrily mean anything is actually wrong. Chances are, if it's not already a reported conflict, in the mod comments or in the description, and it doesn't seem logical, there probably won't be anything. Just load it up and see if you notice anything, but I doubt there will be any problems. Of course, watch everything break now that I said that.

>>171516058
What mod launcher is dis?

>>171520041

Alternate mod launcher. Infinitely superior to the standard one. Check the modding pastebin, should be a link.

I thought I had a screenshot of it but I don't, have a shitty MSpaint appoximation. It's happened both times I've done a hack thing so far, both in the tutorial and in that mission with the generator thing. The little tablet will come up and the troops right hand will be like in the image.

>>171531484
thats pretty funny

>>171531606
It is but it's also annoying since it's not like I'm a vet of the game who knows what the reward is from the tiny amount of text left unblocked, makes it impossible to tell what it is. I'm off the game now so I'm hoping it won't be doing it whenever I'm next playing and have to hack something.

>>171531998
well based off my own experience i have yet to see that issue so maybe its not very common

Why did I really like EW but hated and got bored of xcom2 after like 2 ingame months?

>>171536459
Surely you would have some idea about what you did not enjoy. It's not like xcom2 was delicate about its changes.

>>171536691
I dont know its just weird maybe it was the little things like I didnt like the characters as much and the timed missions and what not. Oh well.

>>171536792
not that anon but those aspects didn't bother me so much. I enjoyed xcom 2 a lot and still play it, but I liked the setting of EW better, with more ayys and council funding, etc.

>>171536792
Alot of people don't like timers, most common complaint. The weaker cast is not unfounded. Personally, I like Tygan, though not everyone does, and Shen jr. is disputably a weaker character compared to her Father. Even Bradford of course is different, though that never bothered me.

>>171509145
it's definitely andromedon. the alien that had no inspiration in ufo and actually is an improvement over ufo designs, AND also fits very sell with the setting of alien occupation of earth.

muton close second, great redesign over retarded generic brutes of xcom 1 and purple gorillas of ufo.

because you're a fucking idiot. gameplay wise xcom 2 is an improvement.

alien designs are a WAST improvement in genereal.

design of xcom itself on the other had is pretty meh, and this is the only problem of xcom 2. we should've stayed the international intergovermental military organisation, not the fucking isis.

what are you talking about? war suits are amazing looking, mostly because of new engine. eh there are blinkenlichten all over the suits but can you honestly tell me that this looks worse than uninspired shitty titan armor?

plasma weapons are beautiful to behold, plasma beam effects are amazing and i despise the fact that they replaced lasers with shitty mags, because lasers would look amazing too.

the only problem is the design of xcom itself- shitty characters, retarded fucking flying base.

no i think titan armor looks better than that shit tier 3 is pretty weak in xcom 2

>>171538546
your picture is generic as fuck. at least the armor i posted looks like an actual armor, unlike titan which looks like something a grade schooler would come up with.

quite literally the only memorable and unique feature of titan designs was the neck guard.

still both titan and war are far outdone by ufo power armor, and i wish we could have that bulky suit remade in new xcom, but alas, general consumer wouldn't like it.

>>171538790
>at least the armor i posted looks like an actual armor,
bullshit

>but alas, general consumer wouldn't like it.

Not that I find XCOM2 tier 3 to be bad, but it doesn't fit with the theme of the rest of the game.

the jump form tier 2 to 3 is too much

>>171539357
t3 should have been the material that t2 is made of but in the way of a full body suit instead of just padded pieces

>>171539553
i just want it to look like armor and not a metal leotard

>>171539553
It is made of the same material, it's just the alien alloy plates have been custom fabricated rather than scavenged.

>>171539864
They look lubricated too if you know what I mean

>>171539931
Polished you mean?

The plating laid on top of the muscle suits is pearlescent in a sense.

>>171539357
maybe the idea behind that jump is to evoke a feeling of xcom transitioning from ragtag freedom fighters to actual military organization ready to fight one on one with Advent
it still looks out of place tho

>>171540316

actually now that im looking at this more i think the issue many of us have with tier 3 is the lack of options we have for it compared to tier one and tier 2

>>171543270
I should be clear; the knife is useful for its intended role as a backup weapon, but not something you charge into combat with.

It's really good for dealing with stun lancers and then taking a shot at something else, since it only takes one action.

but that game me an idea, how about a mod that makes it so that there is a chance that a lid cocoon wont spew a lid every turn but instead will spawn a high tier lid at end of turn 3

>>171545038
There is a charm to there goofiness. More importantly, the original lids were ten times scarier on the battlefield than the newer games. If I had to pick one visual design though, I would still go with XCOM1 lids.

If my shitteritis keeps up I'll give it a shot. Feels like it's mostly mimising damage and casualties that I'm bad at right now. Which means I've had to do some missions with squads of 4 random rookies that the game seems to expect me to have slightly better troops for. i.e. That retalitation (I think) where you first encounter the shapeshifter thing, I had 4 shitty rookies on that, they just got stomped by the couple squads of sectoid+advent dudes (one of them got 1 shot within a turn of the stun batton dude apearing) and I ended up evacing the last dude standing after only just managing to save the 6 civs. Or escorting that VIP scientist. I had to try that mission with a single grenadier because everyone else was recovering from getting shot to shit in a previous mission.

Which largely had the same problem. The "advanced" armor did not look practical. Plus that game had an action figure aesthetic.

>Also they made tier 1 and tier 2 armor as well you know.
Tier 1 looks acceptable, tier 2 would look acceptable, if it had rigging, right now it's just lolplates.

>I would like to have a real discussion, no cancer memes pls
You came to the wrong website.

>>171605530
Tier 3 doesn't look that impractical for X1, though once again tier 1 and tier 2 are better on this. XCOM1 is literally GI JOEs, which imo, just is disingenuous t just label as "capeshit."
>Tier 1 looks acceptable, tier 2 would look acceptable, if it had rigging, right now it's just lolplates.
Sure, just pointing out that tier 2 has the thrown together rough look, no sleekness whatsoever.
Also my original point was the rocket launcher from X1. They just tried something different. You can't claim someone is stuck on a single theme when they clearly hit multiple themes in each game and with different equipment and tiers.
I'm pretty sure "Reddit" would love to have XCOM1's rocket launcher. No one in the world would be sad to see the DOOM rocket launcher in XCOM2.

Your original post is just wrong, on an evidence basis. If it had a real point, it was completely hidden behind the buzzword/memes and exaggeration.

>>171582532
I don't know why developers keep falling for this trap. Fluid physics are hard to make convincing, and harder still to render in real time; so it often better to just not do it unless it's a significant aspect of the game. Many titles will pan the camera away to another subject and just have a fluid pouring sound effect in the background so the player knows what is happening out of shot. It accomplishes the same outcome with no resource cost.

Which is amusing considering that moving to high cover and hunkering is a far better move than dancing around. XCOM 2's AI seems a lot more prone to movement.

The real question comes when you realize that the devs knew what this would look like, but still shipped it.

I'm going to call you naive. The entire team behind this seemed to be lacking in experience while being poorly managed. If this were the only example, I might give the benefit of the doubt, but honestly it's the least offensive one. Developed too fast? Probably. I guess knowing who to pin this one on doesn't really matter, but I believe that somebody could have simply done the earlier suggestion and not shown it.

Should I just use Long War 2 if I'm using all of the LW2 modules (Alien Pack, Perk Pack, Leader Pack, SMG Pack, & LW Toolbox)?

>>171627887
Don't use both at the same time

>>171628075
Well I know that. What I'm asking: is LW2 polished enough that I can use it *instead* of the modules/packs/whateveryoucallthems? Or should I stick with the individual parts? The Mod Launcher says the Toolbox, Leader Pack, and Perk Pack are conflicting on UISquadSelect, UIArmory_MainMenu, and UIPersonnel_SquadSelect.

>>171628327
It's completely different. As in, the LW2 mod is a full overhaul. If you play with the individual packages, it's not the same ting. It depends on what you are trying to do.

>>171628793
I'm trying to figure out whether I should simply use Long War 2 since I'm using all of the Packs, or if Long War 2 is gonna fuck something up, and I'm better off with the individual Packs.

I guess a better question: what is exclusive to Long War 2 that isn't in any of the Packs?

>>171628934
LW2 is stable. The stuff that is exclusive is the entirety of the Strategic layer, and how that affects that tactical layer.

>>171629242
>Strategic layer
That's stuff like the Infiltration mechanic, and Haven management, right? Does that include the Squad stuff as well?

>>171629387
Does that include the Squad stuff as well?

>>171623335
XCOM set in space colonies when

>>171629903
The actual way in which you organize squads is definitely exclusive. I'm sure you could work out something similar to the mechanical bonuses (buffs) if you can tweak squad cohesion a bit.

>>171630435
Someday hopefully

>>171630514
Alright. So I should just use Long War 2? And if so, is there anything else I need?

>>171630689
LW2 is a complete package. Honestly it works best by itself, unless you want to tweak certain aspects about it. So obviously if timers are getting you down, you can still use true concealment. You can use map packs, though those could unbalance the tactical layer. Some class mods are compatible with lw, you can do your own tweaking as well.

So these kinds of missions can pop up when scanning. Very nice. Also I disagree with setting all your haven dudes on intel until your first liberation.

sounds to me like something is wrong with your generation. how the fuck watching some guy play games over the fucking internet is social?! you know what's social- coming to your friend and playing hotseat heroes 3. or just going out in good company to chill on the streets.

You do realize that we discuss Beagle stuff on /xcg/ right (or use to)? It's a shared experience you can refer to. Most anons aren't going to blogpost about their campaign, or edit videos, or stream. So you pick somebody who is actually good at the game, has some charm, and actually hangs out in your general, watch the stuff, and then chat with other people about it.
Also Beags literally used to be /our guy/, he wasn't just some random smuck people picked out up one day out of the blue.

Also your post implies some extra stuff not really worth adressing.

I do turn my eyes to the phone screen when things do get interesting but it mostly is indeed that. Beagle Streams also do background noise duty but they also help to play test situations and hearing Beagle's commentary on them (like those pesky LW1 Base Defense) and how he handles (or not...) the situation can help you greatly to your planning and game style.

I like the one where he has several terror missions on screen more.

And the welcoming committee was a success. For XCOM.

What's the verdict on LW 2 for someone that played the original LW a few times and 2 on launch and again with ABA/Grimy's etc

>>171691723
It's fun but there are a lot of important missions early on that have such short expiration timers that you can feel forced into stealthing through them.

I'm like you, I watch beagle to see his strats for specific missions or odd situations but going through a campaign dump is a bit much
