For those of you who haven't backed Phoenix Point and can't comment on the Fig, are there any questions you'd like to ask Julian and the team? I'm thinking of gathering some questions from a variety of places and posting them as an organized batch to the Fig comments page so Snapshot Games can answer them, and I figured you guys would have some. I'm currently wondering:

1: How will ballistics work? Julian said the game would have actual modeling for stray shots rather than XCOM's hit/miss and that's it, but the tactical gameplay looks more similar to XCOM remakes rather than the originals, so I'm wondering how he would make it work.

2: Will there be neutral human forces, like Xenonauts had?

3: How will research work? Will there be a UFOpedia like classic X-COM?

4: How will stealth work? Aside from silenced weapons like the crossbow, are there any other mechanics?

So those are mine, any more you guys want to know? I know one anon mentioned wanting to see actual gameplay rather than footage, is there anything else anyone would really like the campaign to show off?

>>175746771
how will the insanity work, will it have long lasting effect or just a few round effect during combat like confusion

Only question I have

>>175746707

>>175746742

>>175746771

I can't think of anything in specific and i'm bad at wording myself, but one thing i haven't seen many people talk about is cosmetic customization for your stuff. Everyone knows, fashion is the end game of every game.

>>175748883
The fuck is that, an ME3 gun?

>>175748915
Looks like it is probably the LW2 Holotargeter.

Do you think the new expansion will add vehicles? If so would they be used in combat or just for reinforcement transporting during cutscenes?

Literally all we know about the expansion is that includes some tilesets with water (specifically canals) because some assets from it made their way into Shen's Last Gift before being patched out.

Other than that, we know nothing.

Water Hazard v2?

>>175752768
I'd be OK with this. It might be the sign of some kind of coastal tileset if those are sea locks for docks instead.

Steamdb has a huge amount of depots being active, number one being a firaxis_qa build but also several others (such as baseline) that would hint at an expansion definitely being in the works.

(As well as two unannounced DLC depots associated with XCOM 2). I guess we might get an announcement at E3?

>>175752897
>I guess we might get an announcement at E3?
Only thing I'd want more is Serious Sam 4.

>>175753338
The other option although I am hesitant to even mention it because anons have a tendency to latch onto any hope, however small, is that they announce it around May 25th, which is when the "Advent Future" website went live, teasing XCOM 2. June 1st is the anniversary of XCOM 2's proper reveal, with E3 having the gameplay demo.

Basically, in terms of XCOM 2 publicity, we're coming up on the times they've used before and we have severe Firaxis Activity in steam QA builds associated with XCOM 2 so...

Keep your eyes to windward lads, all hope may not be lost.

Is there any X-Files episode where someone just beat a MotW to death with a flashlight?
Because that's what I'm trying to do right now

I'm trying to to Gangplank in LW and boy, is it fucking hard. It's my first Long War playthrough and I don't think I have the means to even attempt this mission. I have few laser guns and no advanced armors yet, and honest to christ these ship aliens are just wiping the floor with the lives of my soldiers.

Do you think that at this point I should simply drop it and try it on a later playthrough when I know my way around LW a bit more, or is the reward this mission gives too high to let it pass?

>>175744372
When are you gonna finish the base assault? These are funny and all but it's been like a week.

>>175755008
I don't like the DLC missions and I'd advise against enabling them in general. They're very hard if you're going in blind, and if you learn the tactics for countering them [by failing a lot or watching videos], the rewards are too big. The campaign shouldn't be decided by 4 preset missions that you memorized.

Plus on a first playthrough when learning the mod you probably don't want the added headache and added savescum incentive of learning special missions too.

>>175755814
Thanks, I guess I'll just ignore it. It honestly seems way out of my reach.

>>175755008
I did gangplank in LW with ballistics, had to spend about 20 turns suppressing each disc while my sniper whittled away at it. Those 1% shots through suppression got scarier and scarier as the mission went on.

I like Zhang and Annette too much not to enable the DLCs. The Furies mission is some bullshit depending on what alien tech level it spawns at though. Can make gangplank look like gatecrasher.

>>175756523
I never did The Furies, not even on Normal playthrough. I dread to think what it even implies. I'll try it on this run and see how it goes. If it looks like an impossible feat I'll just avoid it like I just did with Gangplank.

>>175756781
Furies comes after deluge, you have to rescue three psionic civilians in 12 turns or less by pushing through an abductor filled with ayys.

I used a concealment scout to disable the kill timer thing and took my time moving up. There is a boss thin man and boss heavy floater lurking so it pays to take caution.

>>175754190
I am almost sure that Scully did that once.

>>175754190
Against a zombie? How'd that work out? I have one of those coming up next in my campaign (I saved at the beginning of the battlescape with two in sight range). Toughest mission I've run into so far was a massive gang fight that I took a van full of kelvar equipped agents to. Starting to have more monster sightings and cult apprehensions than I can keep up with even after building a third hangar right off the bat and using 2 vans and a car.

rest in pizza you beautiful bastard. His death taught me a lesson though: either I just witnessed the death of the unluckiest piece of shit scout in the whole universe, or aliens on Overwatch with Opportunist cancel out Lightnin Reflexes' evasiveness.

>>175759882
They don't cancel it, but the move from 3% to 8% is a significant increase, and gets into the double digits for shots after the first. And more importantly opportunist lets them crit you, so you need impact vest.

>>175759882
you got unlucky. Opportunist makes it roughly 50% (multiplicatively, not additively) more likely to hit through lightning reflexes.

It works by taking the first overwatch shot and multiplying the percentage by .1, subsequent shots are multiplied by .3 IIRC.

Impact vest confers shock absorbent armor and is only available to assaults. What this anon means is chameleon vest, which is unlocked by seeker autopsy and new combat systems.

>Improves the Lightning Reflexes perk:
>Reduces hit chance of the first reaction shot by 95% instead of 90%
>Reduces hit chance of further reaction shots by 85% instead of 70%
>Grants immunity to critical hits from overwatch fire

>>175756958
The timer doesn't start immediately, you can move up to the the non-exploded car without triggering it. By waiting there with with ITZ snipers and chucking battle scanners whenever you get a sound alert you can really clear out some trash mobs

>>175761032

Save ammo for primary when the enemy doesn't need much to kill, make your Overwatch on shotgunners less ass, lowering enemies for capture, etc.

>>175796762
how about lw2?

>>175796916
Make your Sharpshooters Snipers and Gunslingers at the same time.

>>175797283
yeah, that would make sense, but they are usually sooo far away that they won't get to use it

I was thinking to maybe put it on rangers, make the first shot with main weapon and finish off with pistol if the hp is low enough. Idk. Or maybe just luck out and get that free shot.

>>175796762
>Overwatch on shotgunners

Except in close quarters shotguns around a corner or doorway where the ayys are exposed close is best as a shotgun OW.

>>175798125
>but they are usually sooo far away that they won't get to use it
Oh I usually run Snapshot Sharpshooters with pistol perks.

>>175798158
I'm saying if your shotgunner isn't going to be close for the Overwatch shot, like for pods activating into your Overwatch then the pistol while having less damage is a lot more likely to actually hit.

>>175798449
You say that but what king of shotgunner has ranger? Do you still give shotguns on CPL+ scouts?

>>175798797
I'm mainly speaking from an early game standpoint on the Overwatch side of things. Later you should just stick to your primary.

I wish there was stuff like fitness in XCOM, where the more your guys wear heavy armor the higher their chance is of increasing mobility at each rank. Stuff like using certain items and other equipment has different effects.

>>175799010
Theoretically it's a point if you're on a highway with no chance for the aliens to scamper towards you during activation, but pistols without ranger have such a low hit chance beyond shotgun range that I'd rather bet on the 10% chance of an alien scampering toward the squad and into shotgun range

One downside of the Long Wars is the mission density obsession. The game gets repetitive too quickly.

Damnit all my SHIV got damaged right before confounding light. It tanked 3 shots though and is only out of action for 8 days.

Good to know. I ended up not getting back to my original campaign today because I wanted to show my the game off to my girlfriend since we both like X-Files.

An unidentified object showed up while I had 2 agents in the air, so I rerouted them to the landing site. They arrived at dusk in a mountainous tundra, with the disk shaped UFO visible from their car. Creeping up and grabbing cover around corners, the two managed to fill 4 grays full of buckshot from their pump shotguns. A recovery team had to be sent to haul the goods back.

I have no idea if this was supposed to be possible this early on, but I'm hoping this could provide a nice boost.

I encountered a Large landed UFO in the first month and cleared it with only two guys. For some reason they used Psi alot instead of shooting
Any idea how good is private transport\car? It's quite expensive, and I saving up some cash for the Bio Lab and scientists

Truly, life outside the city centres is horrifying.

Man, playing this game in Ironman is a mistake. This fucking after-mission Avenger bug just killed my game. Fantastic programming, Firaxis. You're right up there with Bethesda.

>>175823942
You only have yourself to blame desu

>>175823942

Never play Iron Chump, just cultivate self-discipline instead.

>>175823942
I need to get a ssd. The after mission bug with all my mods make it awful. I end up just turning everything to potato until I'm in a mission again.

>>175823832
For some reason, the 2 man teams with the car seem to travel faster than the van with 4 people. I started off by building another hangar in one campaign, and I'm trying to figure out the best combination of cars, vans, and maybe even picking up one of the Mudranger APCs.

>>175825583
>>175823832
Private cars go significantly faster than public. I would say like 3-5 times faster. I use them with lower ranked troops to scoop up lots of easy operations instead of sending a full van.

The scary part is that anything can happen in that time frame.

Does scanning 7 days after exalt mission sound right for brutal?

>>175835248
I forgot to disable EXALT, how do I kill them faster? Yeah I think 7 days is the max.

>>175835330
What's wrong with exalt? They're tons of free xp and money.

>>175835516
I don't like the mission density I just want more ayy missions even if it makes the game harder because less money and xp.

>>175830404

Coming as I do from a tabletopping background I'm all for mechanical granularity, but to be honest I can't think of any stats that would add to the game in a meaningful way. Critical modifiers? Stealthiness? That's all part of the perk trees.

Perhaps they could have random traits like "Hated enemy: Viper" or "Preferred mission type: Guerilla operation".

>>175836716

XCOM Collection for the Switch WHEN?!?!?!?!

>/xcg/ has degraded to the point of trolling noobs

So, I'm playing OpenXcom and I'm a noob. In the second mission, thing turned weird. Some... aliens with a cape? were killing civilians while some... bipeds monsters were attacking my soldiers.

I could kill two or three mosnters (because I was lucky with the heavy cannon and auto canon). Then I tried to return to Skyranger, because fuck it, but an explosion killed 4 or my soldiers. I think it was one of the cape-aliens.

How I was supossed to know an alien would blow my aliend?

>>175858815
take heavy cannons with he ammo. shoot the floor near ayys.

smoke the ramp and smoke in general.

use your head.

>>175860109
Nice, but
>How I was supossed to know an alien would blow my soldiers?
I didn't see any visual hint.

I guess I should abort that mission in the second turn when I saw all that madness

>>175861138
Aliens have standardized equipment. What you ran into is floaters. They can fly, but have pretty weak stats otherwise. Aliens can carry plasma pistols, plasma rifles, and heavy plasma. As the game progresses, aliens will use heavy plasma more and more. All aliens carry alien grenades as a rule. If they see a cluster of troops, the will use their grenades. Alien medics can have stun launchers, which yes, stun in an AEO explosion. Later and larger ships can have the alien blaster launcher being used by I believe engineers, leaders, and commanders.

>I guess I should abort that mission in the second turn when I saw all that madness
Floater terror missions are the easiest terror mission there is. You are just new too the game, so everything is going to be pretty tough for awhile till you adjust.

>>175861138
ayys have grenades and throw grenades when they're in range and you have a lot of doods standing near each other.

scram for the buildings on terrors.
