You're pretty late in the game and I doubt you'll need many more supplies. Go golden path.

>>186246651

>>186246836
Well even if you do that the game will launch an invasion in every region.

Sadly it looks like a lot of the cosmetic mods will need fixing, their lighting is all fucked so certain items look super dark. I hope it's an easy fix, or at least will not be present in the full game.

You know what i'm super excited for? There's now AI controlled resistance forces you can fight alongside now on the map. Feels more like a war.

How to gid gut anons?
I played like 100 hours in XCOM and like 150 hours XC2, played only ironman but still can't complete commander ironman xc2 vanilla and didn't finished a single lw2 campaign, even veteran one.
I notice some of my mistakes, but only ones that i do cuz of rushing.
Tried watching beaglerush, but he did not much XCOM 2 videos and i won't be playing XCOM again
Also, i'm not a complete retard because i can easily notice tons of mistakes my friends do when playing XCOM or XCOM 2, so looks like i'm improved my skill over time, but not much

>>186248517
He's getting wiped on the Blacksite right now. Lost + Assassin + usual Blacksite forces = complete wipe

>>186248598
Magnificent. I was worried after watching a few streams of xcom vs 3 man pods that going back to vanilla was going to be boring.

>>186248935
Also, legendary Chosen make the rulers look like complete chumps

Fucking hell, Bahroo has failed campaigns 5 times in a row, hasn't even gotten to Plated armor on his latest. This is just sad. These so called good players keep making stupid mistakes. Overwatching against Chosen with shadowstep. Unwilling to learn the new mechanics of the game and keep turtling, putting off assaulting facilities or doing story stuff until the avatar has clicked up to doom clock and then wondering why the Chosen have 50 HP and 2 armor.

>>186249223
Bahroo plays like one of Jake's crash test dummies

>>186249021
They seem to start with 3 actions and get more as they level up. That or her base movement is something stupid, like 20. I can't believe she gets to move, slash, summon, move again. Not to mention the return fire on anything missing her.

Vanishing Wind is the real killer. A teleport and conceal in one. If you can't flank her to reveal, you are fucked. Good thing Scanning Protocol breaks her concealment.

Why is the #1 most important ADVENT network tower in the world in the first region I liberated a year ago?

>>186249656
Yeah, I always brought them, but it just means rushing for them these days. Assassin is always first if you do story. Before you get them though, it means first pulling back from where the chosen spawned, and then pushing forward, trying to flank her. People already complaining about the story mission that spawns her, someone got crit and Mox died the first time he played because these idiots just sit there on the bridge overwatched. It's sad that Gamespot has a better handle of how to deal with the Chosen then they do. When if they just played around with things, they would realize she has set places she could go because otherwise she would be flanked if she appeared there. Mox is amazing for trying to reveal her, since Grapple allows him to get up to a spot that would flank three positions, then you can just jump everyone else down off the bridge and take positions around the car or pillars to try and find her.

>>186250830

I know it involves human-alien hybrids but what else?

>>186250830
Ayy you get the wicked sweet liberation infil bonuses

>>186251093
Ethereals are turning humans into ayy hybrids and possessing the best results

>>186251093
Ethereals have space cancer and need to melt humanity down so they can escape their space aids and fight against the mysterous powerful force chasing them across the galaxy
XCOM fucks them up because humanity,fuck yeah
but the commander might be an alien

>>186250329
I played a fair bit of xcom EU and EW and I've never seen it go that bad before

>>186251093
Aliens won XCOM1 and took over earth. In that time they've set themselves up as "benevolent" dictators, curing all illness and constructing utopia-like cities for people to live in. In truth, the gene-clinics they used to cure disease are a front to discover humans with psionic potential, who are then taken to secret labratories and melted down into genetic slurry. The alien leaders are suffering from an incurable wasting condition, and by harvesting psionic humans in this manner, hope to create new, strong bodies for themselves.

At the very end it's revealed that the alien leaders are desperately trying to preserve their lives so they can fight a mysterious greater evil that they don't think humans are strong enough to oppose.

I would totally be willing to try and recreate as much of these as possible. I just hate the inability to place text where I want it. To pass the time these last two weeks I'm down to make custom posters with either ideas or if people post their ideas sans the text. I'll just bring it into photoshop and place the text wherever/whatever if you've got a source for the idea/poster you're emulating.

How nice of Jake to give us something to do for the next 2 weeks

If you disable the Lost and Abandoned mission it makes everything random. Some Second Wave Options let you choose to start with one of the faction classes in Gatecrasher.

>>186269813
Yeah all of the streamers I've seen have done the story mission which is pretty much a tutorial for the expansion, complete with personalities and voice acting for the faction soldiers. It seems like it starts you with the Reaper and the Skirmisher gets captured and you have to break him out.

What idiot thought this was a good idea?

>>186271753
Because the game can only accept cosmetic mods(and even then barely), too much code has been changed to make anything else compatible.

>19 civilians on first Terror missions
>Two AI Resistance soldiers with 2 damage shots that are busy distracting two pods from the start and are tenacious to kill
>You can't see them for some reason
>Always surrounded by civvies
>The fuckers are super accurate 90 % hit rate even on long range shots holy shit
>ADVENT openly ignores them and focuses the civvies, except in extreme cases. If you didn't reveal the pods, they will 100 % focus the civvies
>Civvies are now rescued in groups, but the more time you take reaching them, the more ADVENT can kill. They count as clear when all linked pods are dead
>ADVENT can now kill multiple civilians on their turn, as many as 3 seen, regularly 2, obviously limited by total enemies with LOS
>Faceless still activate as previous
>Jesus christ the fucking resistance soldiers can hit straight through high cover without issue from 20 tiles away

This is some wacky shit, what the fuck

Biotech alien invaders are invading from another dimension because their planet is dying and they want to move. Late game it turns out that they're actual psionic bacteria that infected the alt-world and want to infect mankind and take over.

The earth disappears because they wanted a spoiler free way of end game, but it doesn't make much sense since the aliens are invading because their world is nearly dead.

Have they gone into SPARK buffs in WotC?

>>186294532
We know you can put weapon mods on their guns now, but other than that, no. It wouldn't surprise me if they just have higher aim and more HP.

>>186294693

>>186294743
Nope. Few streams I've seen have lasted to barely after mag weapons

>>186294532
>>186294693

>>186297005
Between this and weapon mods, they should be pretty much fixed since they can actually hit stuff now.

>>186297064
Yeah, they said they wanted SPARK to be the Tank. You send them out, they draw fire, they punch stuff in the face and don't give a fuck about anything.

>>186297005
>higher base aim, higher base HP and one more armor point.

Brilliant. That's about all the really need. It was kind of silly how at the end of the game, regular soldiers ended up with more health than the giant robots.

>>186297345
Regular soldiers ended up with more everything than the giant robots, aside from rocket boosters.

>>186297345
Yeah, no kidding. Hopefully with the XCOM abilities that they can get, they will turn into crazy power houses. They can get Rapid Fire, now that they have access to Expanded Magazine, they can get up in somethings face, Overdrive, Rapid Fire twice. Completely stupid.

I wonder how tanky they will get with the Juggernaut SitRep. Taking just a SPARK on a mission should be fun.

It's Enforcer all over again. Sparks blowing up all the things. I want to get one with Rapid Fire, Salvo and Volatile mix, Blast Padding would be nice too, maybe Saturation Fire as well. No cover will survive.

>>186297181
and now they can hit things about as well as rookies

>>186298339
Come on, their aim wasn't that bad. They had 65 aim as base. Same as a Rookie. Buffing their aim from that should give them much better chances. They also don't need the same aim as your guys since they will have more chances for close range bonus. Oh and don't forget that they can also gain MORE aim from Covert Actions. Yes, Sparks can go on those and get aim as a bonus reward. Their aim will be just fine.

Anyone buying War of the Chosen on greenmangaming? It's 10 bucks cheaper.
How does preorder work there?

>>186298954
You can also stick Scopes on their weapons as well now, which will help. Also Expanded Magazines/Autoloaders so you don't have to inevitably waste one of your Overdrive actions reloading. The possibilities of Overdrive+Hair Triggers make my giddy.

when's beags gonna stream it

>>186299293
I already did. 3rd party sites like that will send you a product key to your email when the game is out. Put that into Steam and it will activate the game.

Greenman Gaming is good, they have guarantees about codes. Watch out for other sites though, codes might have been bought with stolen credit cards, which can get your account deactivated.

Faceless have an AoE melee attack, though I'm not sure if they can aim it up.

>>186304145
Naw, they can't aim their slice up. They have to be on the same elevation. So if they can't reach you, they are completely harmless.

>>186304247
Well they don't need ladders anyways since they can jump good.

>>186304546

>>186310954
We have to see how much the fatigue slows the growth of your "A-Team" and forces you to build a larger roster.
Individual xcom soldiers become way stronger in WOTC when you invest resources in them, but it is now much harder to bring those invested soldiers to every mission.

>>186310954
Jake said they buffed advent especially in late game and that even with all the new shit WOTC is harder than the base game. How true that is remains to be seen.

Probes look for interesting things. If they land, the generate a mission. Could be a reticulan base, could be a deep one pack, could be a DOOM demon mission, any odd faction that doesn't fall into the usual hierarchy. different anon though

>>186312108
The smartest AI will just pick your highest level soldier and only shoot at and target them. This is literally all that is required to beat a player over the long term.

>>186315898
>Wait, what was you after mission score?
It said -88 as I recall. But the end of month went from about 1800 to -1800 and I haven't really done much else that month of any consequence.

>Probes look for interesting things. If they land, the generate a mission.
So I should follow it instead of trying to incompetently shoot it down? Ok.

>>186316131
Not is the AI took the Damage per turn capabilities of its enemies.

>>186316246
>It said -88 as I recall
Then that is all the affect it had on your score, your are losing end month score for other reason unrelated to that particular mission. For only -88, I'm sure the supplies/cash/equipment more than compensated

>So I should follow it instead of trying to incompetently shoot it down? Ok.
yep. But be warned, it doesn't spawn easy missions, at least not last time I checked.
