Can you save scum breakthroughs/inspiration?

>>187724648
finally I didn't have to make the thread

>>187724738
>savescumming ever

I wonder if we could be assed enough to put together a list of undocumented changes. I don't think stuff like the concealment fixes and new retaliation mission were mentioned

The Chosen's equipment improves when yours does right? If so isn't getting armor improvements now more important than weapon ones considering if you upgrade weapons first the chosen will start one shotting people?

It's up. Now get out of here. Fucking Stalkers.

>>187724738
You can, I tested it earlier to see what breakthroughs you can get

How bad is UFO hunts xcom dark event?
I failed to kill a stupid General before he ran away and now I have that shit on on the first week.
Does that shit triggers avenger defense?

>>187725027
Has a chance of triggering Avenger Defense, good luck. That shit killed the first Legendary Ironman run I got out of March in vanilla

>>187725027
Yes it does but aveneger defense isn't that hard of a mission once you get to t2

Also for the thread http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123896931 so melee Rangers can join in on killing Lost

>>187724969
I bet the VSS will still sound like a bolt action.

pistols are useful

>>187725167

Nope. Has custom sounds.

>>187724969
I wonder if E's mega pack contains a VSS?

So can you still get breakthroughs even if you do all researches? Can you get them in Covert Ops?

>>187725920
I just got the sniper rifle one for my campaign. I wonder if it includes the Reaper rifle?
Either way, the Lost are a massive indierect buff to marksmen and a pretty big nerf to grenadiers, so it will be pretty nice.

>>187725940
I normally have infantry style classes in blue but I don't have Skirmishers yet, I also have some blue on the Reaper

Also I just had a lost 1 shot a sectiod

>>187724648
is there a way to enable beta strike, longer timers mid campaign? maybe using ini files? forgot to set it before starting, now im deep into the game and cant be arsed to do it all over again, for the third time

>>187718168
not the anon you were talking to, but I agree on the visuals. Trying to recreate UFO by making a similar game was cool and ambitious, but Xenonauts really just makes me want to play openXcom, since it feels like such a weak sidestep rather than an upgrade on the original.

NuXcom isn't necessarily better than the old games, but it's very different in a good way. It's the same reason I like apocalypse better than TFtD, because a refreshing new take can be better than a bland re imagining or a straight downgrade.

Like, fallout 3 was a better sequel than Skyrim, because FO3 was a novel, if disappointing take on a series that switched things up, while Skyrim was a straight and derivative downgrade to the series that ruined everything good without adding anything interesting.

>>187726173
toids have a melee weakness

>>187725920
I ended up getting a pistol damage breakthrough. My Gunslinger has been putting in work because of it.

>>187726319
I know, it was just funny and somewhat sad

>>187724969
This, combined with Capnbubs updated tacticool pack, is the set up for the perfect Zone squad.

>>187726173
>Also I just had a lost 1 shot a sectiod
Must of been a bruiser. Those guys hit pretty hard.

>>187726179
The game feels really full now. I've noticed it is taking me a lot longer to play through than vanilla because I have way more stuff to manage, even beyond more missions. And now the Photobooth occasionally sucks up my time.

>>187725737
Why did this ancient meme get changed from anal to impregnation fetish?

>>187726496
Savant.

Genius is second highest.

You will get more genius than savant.

I'm glad that the new classes are really not that much stronger than the base xcom classes at the end of the day. Taking them along with the rest of your squad feels natural and doesn't make me feel like I wish I was just taking the new faction heroes.
They have their extreme niches where they excel, but grenadiers are still blowing up all the cover and dealing the sweet guaranteed damage while shredding armor, Marksmen are still the real snipers and now absolutely are great for wading through the Lost, Rangers are still unparalleled single damage dealers for big crits, and no one does what specialists do + now they can be medics and combat specialists.
+ now I can do fun stuff like give all my rangers conceal and blade master.

Not getting any issues on my end. There might be 2 mods conflicting, although that's highly unlikely.

I use integrated dlc after lost towers and snek den raped both my best teams for a long time while assasin is raping my rookies and squaddies new holes.

Combat didn't change that much, it's still alpha strike galore, maps are still pretty bland and repetitive, but all these new mechanics, QoL changes and classes are really good. There is so much shit to do, my strategy map is literally drowning in various points of interest. Performance is really good too, feels much smoother than a horrible stuttering mess XCOM 2 was.

>>187728732
Played it for about 12 hours yesterday. Feels good. Covert actions mean you can start fighting the AVATAR project really early, new classes are fun, the Lost are actually mechanically interesting, Almost all the new missions aren't times, are soft-timed, or have some mechanic to add time, new Resistance retaliatons with the resistance fighters are fun (though maybe to easy). Fighting the Chosen can be interesting since you won't always be able to just rush them down, bonds are fun.
It's mostly just fun stuff, not sure how balanced it is, but hell if I care right now.

>>187728732
I am using the remove weapons and remove utility like it's a religious act.

Fuck having personal weapons, with the huge amount of troops.
Everyone share the best weapons.

>>187728732
It's pretty good. I put more time into WotC than I put into the base game before I uninstalled it at launch.

So is there a definitive list for which mods work?

>>187736319
Honestly in the X2 universe there really woulnd't even be. The ADVENT propaganda/media machine has such an iron grip, the completely control information flow in all city centers. When they kill rebels, they dress them up as civies and news of a horrific attack by terrorists is shown on all major networks.
My point being, it wouldn't make a practical difference since everyone will always see you as terrorists anyway.
Maybe in the slums this stuff would matter, certainly in the resistance camps.

Does anyone remember where to find the aim bonuses and crit modifiers added to enemies on Legend like in the highest difficulty in EW? I just want to remove it

>>187736376

>>187736910
It's because the game loads all assets that it can so you aren't waiting for that shit to load in all the time. More assets the game gets, the more strain it's putting on your GPU and 70 degrees and you are complaining. Bah, that's fine for air cooled.

You will get chances to get more through Covert Ops if your reputation with them is high enough.

Galatians 6:15 - 16
"Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to[a] the Israel of God."

Ephesians 2:14 - 16
"14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility."

It is a mortal sin to observe the OT rites after the promulgation of the gospel. As those rites were intended to be performed before the coming of the messiah. After the coming of the messiah, a new church is formed

Isaiah 24:5
"The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, BROKEN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT"

Peter 2:9
"9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."

He is speaking to Christians in that passage.

There's more, but I think it's quite definitive. After the coming of the messiah, the chosen people are those who follow the messiah, those who continue to observe the OT rites are heretics to this new church and there is nothing tying God's covenant to an actual specific race, especially considering that his covenant with the Jews was broken.

End time prophesy still specifically involves the Jews and Jerusalem, because they are still "His People." Galatians 6 is specifically about people saying that Gentiles need to be circumcised to be followers of Christ which is being pointed out to be wrong, not a comment on anything else really. It's mostly semantics,
I don't really think it matters.

>>187739714

Maybe a dumb question, but do you need to finish the base game before you can access WotC?

So no beta rising, how do I turn the longer avatar project mid campaign then?

>>187741349
I feel really limited to my region tho, I only ever really fight the Assassin and Warlock, while I don't get the Hunter. Lost gameplay really extends the game by a mile, most lost missions take so much time to do since you have to think about how to score the most head shots.

>>187741520
No, WOTC adds a bunch of stuff into the game from start to finish. It is not like a separate area or campaign, it's all integrated into the base game.

>>187741520
You have to start a new campaign. WoTC completely changes the progression of the game so you cant just start up an existing save file.

Beta Strike Legend is legitimately impossible as far as I'm concerned without something like the LWPP to buff up your soldiers, and probably timers disabled. Every firefight is fun for the first two turns but then it turns into leapfrog with flanking shots and you can't kill them fast enough with your rookies before they crit you to death. I like that it buffs your own guys but ADVENT benefits from it more.

I wonder if I can ini edit Captain and Sectoids HP down by like 30% so they're less insane early game, the big guys are the only real problems I have with it.

I was under the impression that checking the box required you to give up the reaper&skirmisher scenario mission, so I didn't. I thought I could decide when to have the rulers show up like before, too.

Holy shit the sewer maps make the timers so much worse. Not only do you need to spend your first turns dashing into FOW, but now odds are you won't be able to gets eyes on the objective when you need to, and you're more liable to activate all pods at once.

I'll never learn that way though.
There has to be something I'm doing wrong.

>>187744529
Have you tried gitting gud?

>>187744693
Nah, if you check lost and abandoned its gonna happen, what you did is you probably didn't integrate the DLC and didn't check the boxes. Also happened to me, but I fought the Viper king pretty okay with ballistics.

does having integrated dlc checked mean i have to do the stupid snake king and robot factory missions

You pick things up if you play on a difficulty you can win on. Beat the game once to learn the game and have fun, then rake your balls on a grater over and over again after you've got a good handle on the game.

Integrated means you don't do the base missions, Alien Rulers appear in facilities and you make a SPARK by scratch and alien hunter weapons are first researched then made in the proving grounds, non-integrated means AH weapons are 20 supplies each and your first spark is really cheap, Non-integrated but checked boxes give you the base form of the DLC. All of these have WOTC buffs and nerfs.

Honestly because of what >>187745038 posted.

I dont fap or anything, I also only made my first Ranger have big tits, the ones in the pic I posted, that was after I upgraded the armor and I havent been fucked to edit my soldiers since I just wanted to go into a mission. I like my heavies wearing a ton of armor, if I could have them wearing some EOD shit, I actually would. Female or not. But for ranger I think its great to have some 'womyn' running into the battlefield, topless and covered in blood.

I don't even fap to it, it's just that more cosmetics>better.

Besides, naked people can be insane, or tribal motherfuckers, use your imagination. What we need are body tattoos so you can make crazies.
