Bought this game because it's on sale. I haven't kept tabs on it at all but I remember bitching about multiple things, including short mission timers.

Should I go with vanilla campaign or is WotC mandatory?

>>188126913

Used to be he had some energy and spontaneity. which made him one of few regular XCOM streamers who were both entertaining and good enough to learn from.

Then he became angry, bitter Beagle and hasn't been the same since.

>>188127153
WotC is vanilla but better, just start with it. There is also increase timers "second wave" option (advanced settings or something) when you start the campaign.

Any good voice mods that aren't just meme voices? Be nice for other languages that aren't in.

Beags literally can't stop talking about Jamball.

I've seen Jamball streams and she literally never mentions him, meanwhile all he talks about is Alex Jones and sucking Jamball's clit and talking about how awesome she is, this guy is completely fucked.

>>188127226
People were saying WotC handled timers better. Is that with or without that option selected?

>the animation goes right through the ingame model several times
>missed!

Fuck you Ayyyys.

>>188127153
WotC is an overhauled vanilla campaign
Vanilla can be described as formulaic; linear (past the early game)
WotC is a wildcard of emotions; the pacing of the research and boss fights echoes the heart of XCOM philosophy:

RNG unfortunately.

You can get really good order that makes the timer not run until you break concealment. And there is a ... skirmisher one that adds 2 to every times. But I just ticked the double timer option for my legend run. Too annoyed with the game as is to have to dash everywhere.

Damn, so it's just like Enemy Within. Still, I'm not sure if I wanna drop another 40 on the game this early... plus if I buy the expansion later, I have a reason to replay the game.

Thanks for replying anyway but I guess I'll bite the bullet and go with Vanilla first. Am I going to get fucked hard if I go for Hard difficulty first? I played the first xcom quite well but I always took my time and did missions slow so I am unsure how will I handle the new pacing.

Playing XCOM 1 for the first time right now, are SHIVs worth investing into?

>>188127454
Some playthroughs incentivize your armor and gadgets
others focus down one class
others still help you rush gun damage
Game is pretty dynamic as a result of those changes alone
I can see it potentially having a ton of replay value, although the campaign missions themselves are very high stress, with or without the timers--at least compared to the majority ofvanilla XCOM 2

>>188127454
You've gotta to be quite aggressive right now. XCOM 2 for me is basically "How can I quickly defeat Alien pods in 1 turn before they fuck me and delay me from completing the objective". You've got plenty of assets to achieve it too, so just go full ham, abuse Concealment for scouting and eliminate Aliens in one alpha strike.

>>188127594
Yes

So how long is a turn in xcom time?

I do have to ask, what is the goddamn point in using the integrated DLC function?

You can't control when alien rulers turn up other than eventually taking on a blacksite, due to not being able to to take the Valhen hunt mission.

You don't get extra AP from taking on Julian in the Lost Towers Mission as well as SPARK related mods needing you to undertake the mission for some god-forsaken reason.

Oh woo, I have the DLC weapons from the start? They're still shit and I have to waste 10 days researching them if I take them as my first research option unless I'm somehow lucky enough to nab a scientist or get an inspiration, which is still 5 days.

And SPARKS still need elerium cores as well as alloys and supplies, which could be better spent on other shit in the early game.

Somehow by "integrating" the DLC Jake actually made them worse. How the fuck did he even manage it?

>>188127817
Integration really seems to be an afterthought.

>>188127996

One guy has gotten the LW SMG and Laser Pack working, apparently he's moving onto Coilgun pack with vanilla integration next.

A lot of people want him to update the perk pack, myself included - but he's unsure if he can, from the quote on his own steam page the officer mod is difficult as hell to figure out, so the perk pack might be beyond his abilities to do.

A lot of the other most popular cosmetic mods are now working, along with Evac All, Numeric Health Display and other quality of life fixes.

>>188127817
Now I wonder If I uncheck integration do I get Rulers with the old ruleset, like getting turns after reloading or for actions beyond their LoS?

>>188128190
Nope.

Am I crazy or ...

>Spectre on commander

Is there any way to "encourage" the AI to patrol into my overwatch traps during Gatecrasher? Every now and then I'll get lucky and the Sectoid and Captain pods will still be patrolling after I'm revealed, but usually they just sit in one spot indefinitely. Not sure what the trigger is to get them to keep roaming.

>>188128507
Why did visual cues become so much worse in XCOM 2? Overwatch misses have the characters twitch slightly to any side and start shooting past the target.

Now I kinda miss old turn based games where bullets had physics and free aiming, like SIlent Storm. You could just spray in general enemy direction and still hit with some of them.

>>188128812

I know, I didn't know that thread was autosaging when I posted it.

>>188128757
Beags uses the "noise" mechanic from breaking windows and smashing doors to get pods to come over to him, but I tried it myself and while the Trooper pod came running along the Sectoid and Captain pod were perfectly content with remaining perfectly still for the 20-some combined turns I spent spamming overwatch followed by inching forward. There doesn't seem like a surefire method for forcing them to come to you, they either choose to be mobile or choose to stay still.

I just did the reaper/skirmisher introduction mission and holy hell, the lost are fun and tense

>>188129113

>skip lost and abandoned because i already know what happens and i wanted a randomly generated reaper/skirmisher
>gatecrasher started with a skirmisher already in the squad and JUSTICE has some absurd +hit modifier and only takes one action
this kinda feels like cheating

>>188129273
I mean they get shadow bound and then they go unconscious and as soon as you kill the spectre they should wake up, I'm 99% sure what you're getting is a bug.

>Supply Crate mission with Male Outrider
>Stealthing around, haven't been spotted yet.
>Kill a few lost, Kill a few ayys.
>Spot box, run up to it.

What the holy feck is this shit? I can sneak up on ayys, civvies and lost so close I can pick their fucking noses without being revealed but the moment I slap a radio beacon on a box with no one around I drop out of concealment? I call bullshit.

MGS 4 Frog Trooper Armor port when? That was one of my top props.

And the MW2/Siege Armor needs to get ported over as well, that stuff was fantastic. Speaking of the Siege mod, is Uncle Gunman still working on it? Because now that Ela has been released (at least on the PTR), I need my XCOM soldiers to don their tactical yoga pants.

>>188131219
Priests give you a one-use-only psi bubble that keeps a soldier from dying. Purifiers upgrade all vest equipment to provide an extra 1 HP.

Why people so excited about poorly cobbled together guns from other games/mods for said games? They don't even fit the game, they don't even look cohesive compared to each other with varying degree of quality.

>vaguely 100% to hit

Chainshot is dildos isn't it?

Goddamn I actually had a map where the Hunter forced me to savescum or lose the whole squad.

Open road, level, buildings on both sides, vehicle with VIP in the middle, the fucker would just zip around with grapple and fuck me in the ass.

Managed to get out with 2 casualties in the end, but fuuuck. I guess the bastard is pretty dangerous on the right map and when he doesnt just do marked shot all game.

>>188132287
Nah mate, difficulty is not a problem, i like to beat that mission right at the beginning. It's the will i'm thinking about. If my useless soldiers are going to panic alltogether and shoot each other then i can see the point of DLC integration. If it's just gonna put my squad on a bench for a month because of will loss, it's fine.

>>188131637
no matter how you look at it psishields are fair

Thats pretty much what happens.

Looks like the pods are just standing around doing nothing, and so is the Warlock. So Beagle should be able to pull through. Unfortunately

>>188132635
They always do it in that mission I noticed. Chosen, depending on how they feel, will move around or rush toward you while pods will just sit back and guard turrets.

The Chosen really need better AI, they just stand in the back doing fuck all. The Warlock should at least be summoning zombies every chance he gets, or his Mecs.

>>188133675
Don't have the problem.

>>188133690
The problem with Avengers defense is that the pods don't go to you which is a shame. The only way Beagle loses this if Warlock panics the rest of the soldiers since they're all low on will
