Any mods that make my custom armors cosmetics not switch to default when changing to the new armor tier? Shit gets really annoying when you have to manually change back 30+ custom mod armor soldiers.

No, it's just 20% if you are 3 tiles above them

Didn't know that I am pretty new to Xcom 2in a way I bought it during the sale and onl played my pirated version some to try it out when it was new well before LongDong was fully developed.

Sorry if I gave bad advice.

>>183571347
No, it's good advice. You just have to be careful when applying a uniform on a previous tier to a new one. It's better to just make a global version on all 3 tiers if you have a certain outfit you like

This, SPARKS are amazing when they are first available. Sadly they suck after that.

Is it worth carrying the skullmine on every mission? Or am I better off using that utility slot on the specialist for something better?

I mean they are fucking vipers they really should be biting.

>>183571867
You can upgrade the skullmine again to give it a bonus to hacking on whoever carries it

>>183571867
You upgrade it and then glue it to your specialist's arm.

Do you ever bother with the t2 and t3 swords or the t2 shotgun? I tend to skip over them and just have my rangers use mag rifled and plasma rifles until I get the storm guns, which are the last plasma weapons I get

>>183574087
i'm ~1 month away from lasers, and even then i'll be able to buy 1 or 2, looks like i'll have to go now
assault, specialist, grenadier, technician and ranger is a good team for this type of missions?

Expansion delay announcement coming soon.

>>183574267
you might want to bring a shinobi and try to stealth to the console, but if you can blow through the first few pods you can run and gun to it to basically kill the command pod for free

>>183574569
Shinobi is a good idea, but i don't think i want to kill other pods with 4 man.

>>183574631
if you go with a shinobi then you try to avoid activating til you're ready to hit the hack, so you activate on everything while it's stunned

>>183571795
I mean the only hard part in lost towers anyway was the Sectopod but that becomes easy if you have all your grenades,rockets, a grenadier with shredder and Lily's skills.

Honestly find them more dangerous than Sectopods. An A-squad can take down two Sectopods per turn.

I don't think it's possible to do that with two Gatekeepers. Their defense is too high to make shots certain.

>>183571605
>bolt caster is shit

that aim bonus is great early game and the 6-8 damage is nice

It would have also resulted in them removing the "easy" difficulty player help and made the game more punishing and bullshit overall. The base game would be closer to LW2 without any of the content additions. Gotta make sure players lose their soldiers so they are tempted.

It's why Let It Die was such garbage after Floor 31+. They were trying to jew you out of your money through microtransactions and bullshit game design.

Microtransactions in a $60 PC game? That's too jewish to be believable.

>>183608938
Anarchys children despite being not much is DLC and not a micro transaction.

A microtransaction is for a temporary consumable benefit. So you would be able to buy 1000 Elerium for one playthrough for 99 cents or supplies or whatever. Those are micro transactions and they are cancer.

If they add content to the game it's DLC. If they only give you more of something that already exists within the game it's a micro transaction.

I guess they figured shivs don't make sense for 4-6 man teams. Archangel armor and shivs seem like things they put into eu because they were in the original game, but didn't really test so that is why they arent in xcom2

>>183611528
but archangel armor and shivs were both very useful
the armor isnt in 2 because maps are much smaller and enemies dont try to hide

>>183611705
>>183611528
The armor isn't a thing because they were afraid flying would completely break everything with the different coding for now destructible floors/ceilings. A guess, but I think it's a good one.

>>183611705
Didn't everyone say fuck shivs because they couldn't level and archangel armor was just used to abuse squadsight.

>>183611929
>fuck shivs because they couldn't level

in vinilla shivs could have max hp of 21 and with shivs it was basically like taking 6 heavys into a mission since they generally 2 shot muton berserks and also if one got destroyed who cares just make a new one or 6 , then in eu they had the ability to self repair indefinately
so if 3 got damaged you could just sit out turn after turn till they full repaired.

They were anorexic four-armed mystical aliens. The avatars look like a generic advent troop.

>>183613631
They just don't fit in with the game's aesthetic. They look completely ridiculous.

Anyone else like the EW Sectopod better than 2's?

>>183614285
Absolutely. The X2 sectopod is cool, but the EW one is much better looking.

>>183614070
They look as ridiculous as all the other aliens.

>>183614285
I played EW again recently and I forgot just how small they were

>>183614285
I actually like the boxy Sectopod of 2 better than the stunted giant frog in EW. It looks and acts more like a walking tank.

>>183613327
Why are people dumb.
The most obvious pandering in XCOM2 for alien design is snektits (a solid marketing move I won't deny), which isn't related to normies at all.
The reasoning for the Chosen looking human is well-explained, it's not a mystery.
Ethereals aren't absent from the game either.

>>183614285
X2's stature makes them superior. Obviously EW looks with X2 stature would be better than both, but the EW ones just look very silly.

>>183615035
Ethereals are only in cutscenes. They're not actual enemies in Xcom 2.

They're the Avatars.

the monthly non-facility and dark event pips can only be decreased by story shit which is limited.

>>183616063
What exactly constitutes a trap in LW2? False enemy force projections?

>>183616504
>so you cant stall indefinetly in vanila x2 right?
correct. Eventually, the pips will fill up on the main facility which can only be reduced, as you mentioned, with story missions.

>>183616515
the mission will also have infinite reinforcements that drop in immediately after breaking concealment

>>183616587
that sucks.
any balanced mod that makes it possible? like an always avaliable (for intel), repeatable, but each time harder mission or something?

>>183617914
there are mods that extend the timer but you probably dont want that
best I can think of is a mod that makes every pip added to facilities rather than the base, but I dont even know if that exists

she uses the end of her tail as a collar, dragging you with her whenever she wants to, and coiling you up to absorb your body heat whenever she starts to feel a little chilly

>>183623050

Not sure if that makes much sense.

Then there should be a chance that viper takes team damage.

>>183623225
you can throw grenades in a way that hits the viper and not the soldier, and you can already shoot the viper without hitting your soldier so it wouldnt make sense

>>183623375
>you can already shoot the viper without hitting your soldier so it wouldnt make sense

Yes thats because she is wrapped around the soldier.

This shit looks so dumb and I hate it. People just mesh the ADVENT turret with an ADVENT rifle, throw a scope on it, and BAM! It's a battle rifle/sniper rifle or whatever.

Why are SPARKS so.... vanilla and boring?

Why couldn't Firaxis throw them a bone and give them research or proving ground projects for a variety of upgrades like the ability to carry items, weapon mods, or unique spark only items like kinetic modules which give them the Blademaster reaper ability, or a upgrade for the bit to give aid protocol.

Please tell me in WotC they are getting love.

I unironically enjoy all the DLC you listed, a lot.

Slingshot is probably my favourite because I love the scenarios (first mission where you get Zhang is a bit eh, but the train and the battleship are both top tier tactical scenarios).

I like that they learned from it with AH and SLG by allowing you to engage with them when you wanted, though.

then you just play LW2 cuz thats the only place ive found them useful

Smoke grenades are shit.

1. You can't see anything in smoke grenades visually, so if you want to reposition your soldiers a bit it'll take you like 30 seconds to go over all the tiles.

2. Enemies can use your smoke grenades. I can't tell you how many times I had some fucking mec run into the smoke and take a flanking shot at me. Then I couldn't kill him because of the buff.

3. You're wasting an action to use it and you're wasting a slot.

So in WotC, when they change the Alien Rulers, will we still see them in normal missions?

I know they get their own bases we have to assault, but do we still get the chance to chip away at them? Or do we just have to bum rush all 30+ hp in one go?

Do you think they'll get some custom base and art assets? Viper king is pretty much done already. Wouldn't be that hard to do some for the other two.

Jesus christ. This faggot needs to quit this shit or bring it elsewhere. /aco/ had a thread up for this shit. Go there and be with your own people.

Nigger, I'm >>183650216 and I'm fucking gay too. Love me the dick, but I don't love me some off-topic fetishposting. Go jack off to your buff dudes somewhere else you retarded fuck.

To be fair, it is XCom, since it's the existing characters in the game itself. Also there's nothing really sexual in the pictures, just guys in skimpy clothes.

Ingame fetish screenshots. If someone made a snake vore mod where the Rookies are Dorse's I wouldn't want it here

>Like the buff dude mod
>Post one (1) picture 10 threads ago
>Some actual faggot spams it, making everyone look bad (worse)

Mods were a mistake. I feel like we're one titty mod away from /tesg/-tier

There's XCom, and then there's fetishposting, circlejerking, whatever you want to call it. This is more fetishposting than XCom. This doesn't belong here regardless of it being in the game.

those times when you take a low percentage shot because you just want the enemy holo targeted and you still get a hit anyway and you wonder: how many low percentage shots could I have hit in the past? if I gave everyone holo targeting would I just be hitting low percentage shots all day?

its the most blatant false fag ive ever seen
im ready to just close the tab cuz literally everyone is being retarded

>>183650789
Hah, I do that sometimes, like, I take the 22% pistol shot on a yellow move with my sharpshooter and crit and kill the target and I think to myself "should I just be shooting all the time?" The idea of just putting up a wall of fire is appealing but I know in my heart that I'm supposed to play to the highest percentage outs and the 20% hail mary shot just isn't it. Generally, I only take those shots when I have literal nothing better going on and hunkering isn't useful because I'm not scared of them (they're flashbanged or suppressed or whatever).

>>183650784
Bingo. XCOM pics are fine even if they don't do anything (see: lineup pics of most kinds). Obvious fetishposting is not, especially when the poster has basically admitted to it. Just do it somewhere appropriate to it and there's no issue. Fuck, reasonable discussion of the mod would even be more appropriate than posting binding pics of hunky boys and saying "aren't they hot teeheehee", which is what's fucking happening.

Right now there's an /aco/ thread up for this fetishposting. Go there if you want to continue posting your fetish. There are other like-minded people there.
