its part of why late game is more of a chore to play through for me: I know I can fuck up and activate every pod at the same time and STILL make it out alive, so theres no need to play smart or carefully at that point

Alright! So lets bring everyone up to speed, after some time the team is recovering from the hard fought retaliation mission in which we lost a friend and comrade Max Smith.
On this mission the new face is Ranger James Anderson (he was Adams spotter in my campaign). Also attending are Firebrand, Cullen, Bonnie, and Sergey.
>>137093456
No, it's just - it seems a little weird is all. I mean I'm trying to be a responsible commander here.
>>137094086
Its your jJOB, then, to make sure they're actually having sexytime, and not collaborating with ADVENT during supposed sexytime!
Spies are everywhere. Two rookies may claim to want some alone time, when they're actually faceless.
>>137094086
That's exactly what a responsible commander would do. You don't actually want to fuck your troops, that makes you too close and might compromise your ability to make tough decisions. It's way better to just watch them fuck among themselves on a videofeed when you want to get your rocks off.
Don't worry about there not being enough material. It's the end of there world, there's going to be a lot of fucking.
>>137094048
Team lookin pretty operator
Except Firebrand
Firebrand is lookinCUTE
>>137094086

Im worried I kinda forgot about these guys when I was making all the characters, I will need to take things carefully.

We got a raid, this should give us some needed alloys as mag weapons are almost finished.
Also got a rookie on this mission lets see if they can prove them self.
>>137095710
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
Every night, I can feel my Patsy... and my Ampelle... even my Shiela. The booty I've lost... the jugs I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?
I'm gonna make them give back our superiors.

This is a difficult time in the campaign. You've got some soldiers with ranks but it is a bit of a mess. Even harder when playing with fatigue. Sergeants are your super stars at this point if that and really you're just praying on Technology to quell some of the Lancer hate.
Here's to your team, most of it, making it through.

this isnt tftd
>>137104105
Were the bases just generating too much negative score each month? (Was it ethereal bases?)
>>137104362
Nighthawk seems pretty good imo, and fitting names that are randomly rolled are always a plus.

The big things I can recall without watching through the whole thing again:
>never had a good instance to knock out a psionic alien
>lost a pretty important base to snakemen
>kept losing good shots to little battlescape mistakes
>didn't get a plasma cannon soon enough
If I had psionics, kept that base and hence money, had not garbage shots to take out the bases, or had a plasma cannon to wreck the supply ships in the first place none of it would have happened
Once I noticed my score diving more than I could deal with I went all or nothing and my best at the time wasn't good enough
>>137106929
>>137106513
Post more Exalt-chan
>>137107091
Yeah, plasma cannons + basic interceptors shoots down anything that's not a a very large.
Psionics are a priority for obvious reasons, they break the game.
If you cover the world with hyperwave beacons you can pretty much just shut the ayys down.

The revolving part needs to be a cube instead of a cylinder.
It should have four square holes for four square magbullets.
Also it needs to be in a sleek advent black.

Medium ufos have sectoid leaders, so those are good targets.
If ethereals show up, go on a mission, sacrifice everyone to stun one and then jet off with your war winning prisoner.

Don't have much of that.

>Medium ufos have sectoid leaders, so those are good targets.
Yeah those would have been nice at some point rather than just parking battleships everywhere
>>137108047
It's not really XCOM related, at least until Jake becomes insane enough to add an anthropomorphic plane of some kind to the game.
>>137108047
>>137108550
Now your being just as bad as the snake and lewd posters
The airgame OP bring peace and a homely feeling calming all who post. without Airgame the thread is destined to be reduced to shitposts and non stop cancer furries. The airgame is a highly skilled and tactical decision adding another layer of strategy and gameplay to when endgame gets a grind
Do you use high powered ammunition and blow up the ship entirely
Down it killing some aliens but losing technology in the process
Disable it leaving the aliens alive but securing 100% of the ships resources and technology
This is but one of the layers of depth airgame brings I could post for hours more and it's a shame such a good feature had to be removed either because of the Casuals or the devs couldn't work out the simple tactic of mixing xcom ufo defense and xenoauts
>>137108047Could not find it in time.
>>137094048
Russian MASKA helmet where?
>>137103668
On the plus side now you can move on to tftd where it really gets hard.
>>137108967
Airgame. Is. Shit.
And youa re posting an unrelated picture to Xcom
Also, judging from your dislike of lewds, I suspect you are a juvenile autist.
>>137108967
>>and xenoauts
Yeah, having something like that would be good enough than having nothing at all.
I even could take making the Defense MatrixFire Directorwork as an AA instead of just running away at this point.
>>137109391
Get out of here, airgame is good.
>>137109562
>>137109562
No it isn't. It really isn't.
And I want to talk about Xcom 2. If you want airgame, go start a Xenonauts general, why don't you.
>>137109391
Nice arguments mate. I'm sure flying somewhere and waiting for seven days Is plenty of fun.
>He's pro lewd
Yeah I sure love it when furry WOW pandas come in and post because they know theirs gonna be lewd snake porn there You can't even control your teenage hormones and everything has to be sexual including legit shit that preserves to be on furchan or whatever furries use. Your the only juvenile one here you dumb fuck
>>137109730
If you want I'll start posting about all the benefits of the airgame rather then flying somewhere clicking a button and waiting dispite it being most other xcom games. I can tell your either a casual or have only played EW
>>137109707
>>137109730
If you guys didn't like XCOM1 airgame, that's understandable, but airgames in x-com games are nice.
>>137109851
Does this trigger you?
>>137109868
>>137109851
Except we don't talk about X-com here. From what I've seen.
And airgame seems only to be discussed by 3 to 4 people who only seem to care about it. Everyone else is more interested on the mod potential. Especially lewds.
And the point of Xcom 2 is supposed to be a guerilla game. You're supposed to be on the run. If you want to talk about the benefits of airgame in Xcom 1 and the classic X-com, fine, but its really pointless drivel.Not a wonder you like the QPU meme. You clearly share the same kind of autism.
>>137110082
No.
This does.How long till this is a thing in XCOM 2?
>>137109851
Running away and waiting for seven days is fun. Its called being on the run. You hope ADVENT does not spring shit on you in those seven days.
Hell, did you even play Xcom 2? I'm starting to suspect you don't.
>>137110082

>>137110256
Yeah not really, the airgame is only discussed when someone randomly yells out how its shit.
Its x-com related, so not off topic. Really the only issue about it is people don't actually want to discuss it, they just want to fling insults at people who like different things.
Its not pointless drivel its just x-com.
As for X2, I really want to board ships while there flying because its sounds like something crazy a resistance group would do, and I like being a pirate.
does anyone has an idea of how the air game can be re implemented in a interesting way?
almost all i can think of is choosing between building towers or hangars that will spawn a fighter to reduce the chance of getting downed, but because not even the UFOs are very present in the game it feels redundant
>>137110510
>>137110547
Yeah I do. For X2, make it so that there are ufo flying around more often (not necessarily hunting, just flying).
You can build ground installations like radars, whatever the 2035 equivilant of SAM sites are, and maybe something like the Spike Emitter used to keep the Avenger Grounded.
Also, boarding ufos in the air because why not. Basically, add some elements to pay attention to on the geo-scape again, with some player agency that help can let you make even simple decisions like creating a downed ufo mission, or as I mentioned, boarding an actual ufo.
>>137110547
Use resources to create anti ufo missile if ones chasing you chance to miss and their expensive
Send out captured aircraft to shoot down vip or troop ships bomb priority targets give an extra one or two turns too firebrand at a high risk of ship loss
>>137110547
it was fun in tftd, i didnt play xcom1 so i dont know whats the fuzz about, xcom2 is really boring on the world map
>>137110939
1 as in UFO: Enemy Unknown or the Firaxis game?
>>137110939
xcom1 airgame was what you had in tftd, but duller, no cool interception music, and little to no player decisions to make. It was not horrible as it still added to the game, but it was overall pretty weak.
Tftd is a re-skin of X-COM, so they have nearly identical air games.
>>137111083
>UFO: Enemy Unknown
clearly you mean XCOM: UFO Defense
>>137110838
i like the idea that just the presence of a fighter in a region having an impact on missions and the geoscape, like maybe have a chance of where the game should have called more reinforcements you get a notification saying that your fighter intercepted the transport
on extraction missions once the clock ticks 3 turns remaining have a chance that you will gain extra turns by having your plane dog fighting with he enemy ships,
and expending a great deal of resources on bombing a facility
>>137111184
No, UFO: Enemy Unknown
>>137110510
>>137110765
unless we are talking about boarding harvesters size ships minimum that would be a very small map to fight on
>>137111449
The confusing nature of discussing the x-com series never fail to amuse me.
>>137111543
I kinda though that might be the charm. Small maps that are very explosive slugging matches. Set up for the assualt, then breach and clear.
Maybe even have the option of blowing components of the ufo and then bailing, causing it to crash with no survivors, but giving less of a reward. It certainly would be a big change of pace compared to other missions.
>>137111083
the firaxis game
>>137111183
i liked the way how it thrown flying ayys to my way and i could decide what to do with them
now i get a set of missions, roughly same sequence and a storyline
>>137111806
Yep, that simple decision of deciding what to do is what is missing from XCOM1, and imo it makes all the difference. X2 is missing as well unfortunately, though some new mods are coming out that let you generate missions by spending resources, so that looks hopeful.
Can anyone explain to me the thought process behind the Sharpshooters' Gorilla Tactics School bonus?
+10% crit is both fucking lame and has no relevance to the class. Did they just run out of ideas or something?
>>137111806
the air game in XEU was pretty dull, besides arming them with the best weapon you have the only real control you had was when to call it back
really not something i miss in X2 desu
>>137110483
No, the thread gets worse when it goes into airgame. Just saying.
>>137112079
I'm not so sure. You could pull some nice stuff like shooting down an early Supply Barge with a Laser Raven and some assist modules or balancing between EMP and Fusion Lances.
Not to mention that having Interceptors or not was a key factor when considering where to expand or what areas needed reinforcements. It was part of the package.
>>137112060
it works well with steady hands
a sniper dropping an ayy on their turn is pretty fucking relevant to the class
>>137111921
sounds really good, towards the end of the game when i dont need anything to scan, but i want to keep doing missions, it would be a blessing

>>think whenever or not to engage
Engage obviously
>>Do so
About time what the fuck are you, a retard?
>>Prepare how many interceptors and what type or ammo
Just shoot down the fucking plane. What, you need more supplies so you need an EMP? Not always the case. Its simple, and not sucha big deal
>>send out to fight
I already said engage. Took you that long to send out a fucking plane?
>>In fight do you pull out or stay to either kill, wound, or disable at the cost of a interceptor

I enjoy picking up those rookies and 60 supply drops and being incredibly bored while doing so
Hey look supplies
Hey look pick up more staff
Hey look more supplies
Hey look more menus instead of gameplay

Really?..
No, seriously, is nice and all at first but it's really lacking after that. And that's not even considering how easy the Avenger Defense mission is even when you are not in top shape.
>>137112350
still i dont like it when the game limits my input
early game because of the lack of any weapon or modules the entire process was very brainless
maybe if the weapons upgrade wasn't linear and the game gave you a reason to develop more missile type weapons and more galling type weapons to mix and match it would be better
>>137112960
Sometimes you could be unlucky, and end up with Avenger defence when you have the shitty base weapons and no armour. That happened to me once.
I do think that Avenger defense could be improved. Maybe make it more re-occuring. And if the airgame autists go "muh airgame", have a ship-to-ship battle where the Avenger has to defend itself from an attacking UFO.
I imagine that last part would take a lot to code though.Expansion pack, maybe?
>all this butthurt
what happens if an alien reaches the ramp of the avenger? is it instant failure? is there a special dialogue when it happens?
>>137113098
>>have a ship-to-ship battle where the Avenger has to defend itself from an attacking UFO.
That's more than acceptable.Also hoping for the Expansion/DLC as well.
>>137113196
>>Filename.jpg
Did you say something?
>>137113237
i have no idea, never reached the point they even got close
do they attempt to rush in at all?
or they try to take out your squad?
>people beating legend ironman on first playthrough
>i have 90 hours and have only beaten the game once, on rookie
At least I d-don't savescum...
>>137113496
i had a berserker rush towards it, even tho it entered the blue area she never reached all the way further back and bradford just told me to keep them away of the ramp and thats why i am asking
>>137113517
even the most legendary of soldiers have started as a rookie
>>137113517
>>At least I d-don't savescum...
That's the spirit.
>>137112829
She is Shen's Gift. She is an AI now.
>>137114306
That would be... odd.
How come xcg is comfy again?
>>137114306
She'd better be the AI running my goddamn robo-troopers, Shen.
>>137113517
tell us how
>>137114526
Because we're discussing something about the game and not lewd porn or waifus
>>137114518
>>137114593
They build a codex like body for her.
>>137114703
You can add some LW nostalgia into the mix.
>>137114632
What do you mean how, there's always a trooper who crits me in full cover or a codex who leleports behind me or a physics defying tongue
>>137114857
flashbangs prevents the use of skills, that means no cloning or teleporting for codexes
>>137114802
i wish there could be a less hardcore version of LW, i love all the quality of life they made and all additions to the game but the balance rubs me in the wrong way
>>137114703
Actually we are disucssing lewd porn :^) >>137114306
>>137115041
>i wish there could be a less hardcore version of LW,
There literally is.
>>137115041
But what do I do when I have six soldiers and a mission with 15 enemies?
>>137114526
Vahlen.
Vahlen makes everything comfy.
>>137114306 Can't wait for thenude mod
>>137114857
bluescreen rounds kills codexes before teleport even on legendary
>>137115041
>>I wish there could be a less hardcore version of LW
There is and its anything below Impossible. The mod is a bit better balanced there.
>>137115223
Like there's a shitload of bluescreen rounds laying around in the early game.
>>137115131
you kill them in groups of 3, always 6v3
be sneaky
>>137115223
>implying I have ever gotten to bluescreen rounds at commander or legendary>implying I have gotten past gatecrasher on legendary
And are we ignoring crits in full cover?
>>137115282
theres zero codexes in the early game though
>>137115324
>>And are we ignoring crits in full cover?
Why are you even letting the ayys shot at you in the first place?
>>137115324
IF the crits in full cover bother you so much try breaking LOS and peeking back around corners when ayys flank themselves.
Worst case scenario install EU rolls mod.
>>137115324
if you are getting shot at, you are doing something wrong/been very unlucky so yea im ignoring it

>>137115131

crits in full cover its just really bad luck not much you can do except break LoS or hunker down if you cant avoid getting shot
>>137115602

Read the readme

Hey guys I haven't played it since the first week of launch and I was wondering did they fix the frames? I want to start my iron man play through but I don't want to start it until it's optimized.
>>137115742
Buy a skylake machine or deal with it. They will not fix frames ever.
>>137115602
>>wow thats great, how can i find it?
No, seriously, any difficulty level below Impossible and the game becomes a bit more tolerable.
>>137115520
>>137115706
There has to be balance in the system.

Yeah no
Porn mods make no fucking sense in XCOM
XCOM is about fighting, not fucking

Its about fighting AND fucking

>Aliens find out about this and implant incurable diseases on captured XCOM that can be tranmitted through sex
>Everyone dies from alien STDs a few weeks later
Its a stupid concept and you should be fucking ashamed
>>137117312
I hate horny 14 year olds like you
I'm playing XCOM 2 and it's my first time playing an XCOM game, or any turn-based for that matter.
Do I instantly lose the turn when I lose concealed status?
I had the chance to attack some enemies while undetected and thought I'd do it at the start of the turn then depending on whether I got a good shot what to do with my other characters but as soon as I hit one of the enemies they started moving.
Luckily I had an overwatch and it went well.
>>137117728
>aliens kill xcom via sti's
no
The aliens should be able to scramble 40 UFO's at once, that is the main issue with XCOM 2 IMO
Even in EW, they can't just super-high-tech-nuclear-bunkerbuster the base?
>>137117829
No when you get discovered the aliens just get a turn to move to cover
I normally take a shot then adjust where the aliens moved to change my tactics since overwatch has a lower chance to hit.
You may be bullshitted at the start once you learn the mechanics and how the game runs you'll be installing mods to make the game harder. You also might wanna watch Beaglerush since he's super good and he'll give you an idea on what's good.
But I still recommend going in blind for the first few runs since those are the most memorable
>>137117728
>porn mods don't make any sense!
No kidding champ, next you'll tell us how it's illogical for reptiles to have breasts.
Not that I see much point in porn mods for a game that isn't mediocre and boringcough, Skyrimthough.
>>137117728
>>hurrdurr XCOM 2 needs muh realism
Its a game you fucking moron. And players can play whatever the fuck they want.
Hell we have barechested men thanks to the DLC. Fighting nude or in thongs is no less believable
>>137118116
Yeah, that makes sense. I thought overwatch (concealed) didn't have an aiming penalty, at least it doesn't say so in the tooltip, so I used it.
I don't really watch videos or guides or anything, I'm just casually playing on the second difficulty and it's unlikely I'll even finish it once unless the game really clicks with me.
>>137117854
>>137118271
>>137118321
And then there's the nude mod isssue itself. You can fucking bet to see actual porn shit like hotcoffee for XCOM if people keep endorsing this shit. Do you know what comes next? /d/ tier porn mods. Vore, scat, inflation, all kinds of weird shit will start to pop up, because they have loverslab mod as base to work on.
Snek porn sfm is already happening, its all downhill from here and you know it.
>>137118517
>>>/church/
>>137118321
Not him but some dude had his idea for adding tanks as a mod and got told it shouldnt happen because it was "unrealistic". Why should this get a pass?
>>137118609
Yall mofuckas need jesus alright.
>>137118675
Apparently it should get a pass because it makes his weewee hard, even though he could just search for porn on the internet if he wanted to pop his cherry.
>>137118517
Mate, while I refuse to use mods that break the game or fuddle immersion I think you are a bit overly vocal with your opposition to this.
Just do what I at least do, don't pay attention to this 60 year old virgin creep fantasy rubbish.
Seriously, the stress isn't good for your health.
>>137117728
Shit like this is why we need EXALT. All men, all the time.
