It could still use some ethereal ornamentation, you know?

Like a red robe/cape or stole of some kind.

>>187146914
You'll also have to consider what differences it would make versus the T2 launcher. I suspect the reason we don't have one in the base game is that Firaxis struggled with this balance question themselves.

You could just make it aesthetically different I guess.

Always thought how weird it is to have only 2 tiers of grenade launchers. Especially when your whole team looks like crack-addicted homosexual welders with their tier 3 armors, jury rigged grenade launcher just stands out.

>>187147139
>>187147308
Could you find some way to make it phase? No LOS needed?

>>187147187
More. By a good amount actually

Firaxis tester here.

The avatar was at one point an Advent Psi Unit. We repurposed it into the avatar enemy because we didn't know what to do with the Psi Witch. The Advent Priest from the expansion is supposed to be the "new" advent psi witch in case you haven't noticed.

They were also 3 other enemies that were scrapped. Drones, ADVENT ACVs, and Synthoids. The drone and acv were almost finished but they got scrapped because of limitations. The synthoid was scrapped very early in development that it didn't even get a basic model.

>>187147438

No, the way grenades function in this game requires some kind of LoS.

>>187147864
>ADVENT ACV

The what now?

>>187147438

Well, I thought about that, but I just thought that it used "Phasing" technology to propel it over longer distances. Kind of like a warp drive kind of thing.

>>187148131

It was supposed to be the APC model you see in game- it was designed to kind of be like a transport like the advent vtol, but persistant and hostile.

>>187148131
The ACV. It was an advent tank. Got scrapped because of limitations.

>>187148131
ACV could stand for armored combat vehicle.

>>187147864
Hey, I remember you.

So was there any thought at that point as to what would be the final boss of the game? Was there supposed to be an ethereal/elder model?

Did they change the story later on to make the elders not appear or was it pretty set from the beginning?

No. It was set from the beginning that Ethereals wouldn't reappear. The thing is that we never thought about making a replacement unit for them. The Avatar wasn't even supposed to be an enemy. It was just part of the story. At the end we just repurposed the Psi Witch into the Avatar because it felt a bit weird to not have a "final boss" type enemy.

>>187149824
I know. I preordered the artbook and remember excitedly flipping through it, waiting to see concept art of the new Ethereals and... nothing.

I just wish they had designed the Avatars more with a nod to the originals, you know? Oh well.

Now we have these chosen faggots to deal with instead. Don't know how you could stand to test that, having to hear the same voice lines over and over.

>>187150646
I honestly don't see the problem with the Avatar's design. And it spent more time in development as the Avatar than the Psi Witch. I mean we even have it cutscenes and its own Psi rifle. Yeah the hair is a bit goofy but then look at the Archon's design and the Codex's bizzare animations. A lot of these weird designs were inspired by bladerunner and other scifi movies. The only enemy designs I hate are the alien rulers. The chosen do talk too much but they look cool in my opinion.

The codex was heavily inspired by pris from bladerunner.

>>187151174
I just think it's too generic. I think the Archon design (with legs obviously) was perfect for them.

I liked the Viper King (even more than the original viper, actually), hated the other two.

Hunter's hood is growing on me, ELDER'S MOST LOYAL CHAMPION's voice has already won me over, looking at the assassin just makes me feel embarrassed.

I keep seeing people talking about how they miss the EW/EU/Xcom1994 theme and atmosphere. I kind of agree but at the same time I want the X-com games to continue doing new stuff and I'd be fairly uninterested in firaxis doing another "defend the earth with near future tech" game.

I'd rather they just keep getting crazier even if that means straying further from the original game's feeling.

I've been thinking about this a lot, what do you faggots think?

Anon it's a bolt action rifle. There is zero need for a gas tube, and it would actually interfere with the weapon's accuracy. Firaxis artists just saw the AS50 and based the weapon on it.

Before they started re-balancing the game around beginning with six man squads, I think that would be the most accurate point in terms of the timeline.
Everything started going downhill from there for me.

So is there a good place to read on all the changes wotc is bringing in?

>>187154115
Your inference is not confirmation. I would seek word of God from Jakey et. al. before making a claim with such certainty.

>>187154518
Main changes: New classes, new enemies, rulers, training replacing AWC, bonds, ruler bases, covert ops, new tilesets, more verticality in virtually every mission/map, new map types, new mission types

Wait my mission said it's a failure ( I had to recover item) since I evaced even tho I recovered the item and extracted all my soldiers. I just didn't kill all the aliens since I didn't want to waste time, is this normal?

Yes. It's says failure, so what will happen is that you prevent the dark event or get whatever the baseline reward is, but you lose the bonus reward or whatever and don't recover any corpses.

To be fair, it doesn't seem right that mutons can block a 100% chance to hit psionic attack

>>187166309

purifiers and mutons seem to be the only real counters the aliens have to templars

>>187166309
Its a melee attack conducted using psi-amp gauntlets.

>>187166454
players who gotta stay behind full cover every round and never use melee are strong counter to templar

Only in UFO defense, they are treated like final bosses every other official release.

>>187168697
They replace sectoid commanders after you shoot down the overseer ship and can show up on the base defense if you drag the campaign long enough.

So what the hell do the new Training Center and GTS do now?

GTS does the same thing. Training center gives access to buying abilities and leveling up bonds.

Explains why EW wasn't some marvel movie garbage like WotC.

>>187179591
I would say they're on same level. Skirmisher can get a lot of easy flanks and extra actions. Templar gets powerful psionics AND unmissable attack with nice damage. Reaper is an awesome recon unit, can blow shit up for real, AND reapers are awesome clean up unit, with their extra mobility, armor penetration and unbreakable concealment.
>>187179781
Because streamers are pussies. Grapple to building behind enemy cover - two flanking shots with height advantage. Easy. Throw in aid protocol if feel the need. Instead they'll take shitty shots on the cover with range disadvantages.
The only thing i don't understand is why can't Skirmishers just use their melee weapon, without grapple attacks. The are CQC soldiers, why not add some actual melee, especially since they already have the weapon?

JAKE

Now that you can easily get Bladestorm and Implacable together, Bladestorm feels too OP since it now also procs on the enemy running away and gives the high-damage Rangers yet another guaranteed extra damage
Especially since every Ranger will just roll with Blademaster now. No need to get anything else now that Reapers exist

Does everyone just watch Christopherodd now. Like wtf

Vipers can't grapple to other locations. Vipers can't do any of the stuff that Skirmishers can do, besides pull enemies towards them.
