First time installing LW.
Any .ini tweak suggestions? I'm mostly concerned about fatigue and the air game.
>>123056813
Fatigue is not that much of a problem if you are willing to invest the time in acquiring and training enough troops.
The Air Game, however, can be way too punishing and unfair especially if this your first time with it. Those who started in previous Betas at least have a degree of knowledge of what to expect but for someone new it can be a campaign breaking aspect even on the lower difficulties.
If you don't want to try the Air Game Mod, at least lower the repair times or/and activate the Second Wave option "Friendly Skies" for a more manageable experience.
PISTOLS
ARE
USEFUL!!
>>123057298
Sorry for the dumb question, but how to use the air game mod? Should I dl then paste it somewhere?

>>123064901
>have you edited your ini before?
Why does this sound like something lewd?
So Vanilla Enemy Within, how long does it last on average playthrough?
>>123069196
took me about 40h on normal on first playthrough
Anybody got more stuff like this?
>>123069369
Or better if you think this sucks.
>>123068872
They're not as OP as they were, but MEC-1s are kind of weak.
>>123056813
Fatigue really should stay as it is, it's there for a very good reason even if you have doubts about it.
Did they delete MECs in XCOM 2?
So what's the best research path?
Xenobio->fragments->beam->adv. beam->??
>>123070179
for player, yes
for ayylmao, no
>>123070179
Would you really have ready access to Super Robot soldiers when you're really little more than a small resistance force?
>>123070187
I've been told repeatedly that focusing on defense in the Early game is a mistake. Enemies get stronger as you go on, so bigger guns faster is your best bet, then you'll have enough resources to plop down serious armor in the midgame.
Unless someone disagrees and makes a better argument than I just did.
>>123070728
just wondering because MECs gave me a constant chub and I hate to see them go
>>123070850
Earlygame armor tech doesn't lead to poor tactical game because jesus look up the alloy shiv stats and tell me they won't trivialize every mission you bring one to.
The problem is the airgame.
>>123070187
drop xenobio to the end of that list and you might be getting somewhere
>>123070973
You're leaving scientist requests for later so you can get laser before the first terror mission?
>>123071140
lasers make low-level troops less shit due to accuracy bonus. you want requests immediately after that, though, because around the same time you'll probably have someone competent enough to play a shock jockey
>>123070869
Very likely that they'll be available in some form later through R&D. Not necessarily in "huge robo-suit" form, though.
>>123070957
>because jesus look up the alloy shiv stats
If you play normal, yeah.
If you play impossible, alloy shiv will be out for half a month at least after 2 floater shots or 3 sectoid shots.
Not to mention you won't have enough alloys to spend it on something as useless as shiv.
>>123070973
Not getting xenobio in March means that your entire R&D will be late for at least half a month. Compared to getting it immediately.
Yes, even 1-2 extra scientists in first months save you A LOT of time.
>>123072020
Researching bio->adv beam is faster than going straight for adv beam and skipping bio. It does let you get beam faster than if you do bio->beam, but not by that much and it is a subjective tradeoff of strategic for tactical advantage.
>>123073936
But you don't even need beam without adv. beam too early, starting guns are enough for first three months. Main point of getting lasers quickly is to build laser cannons.
>>123074156
The extra damage and accuracy is a big help too, especially against mech units.
Anyone wanna talk about pic related?
Its pretty good, and challenging enough to be fun.
I cant touch XCOM anymore before 2 rolls out so its been a nice way to blow off some TBT-steam.
>>123074156
Yeah, which was why I was wondering why that guy is delaying xenobio, the only thing it would speed up is beam rifles/carbines and only by three or four days.
>>123075082
Saw it, haven't bought or tried, or watched it
.. Is it good?
>>123080621
Gameplay: It uses the XCOM2012 cover system, and unlike games like Shadowrun, it remembers to incorporate the important part of stepping out of cover to shoot. This makes the flanking-focused gameplay satisfying. But even if the game is focused on flanking, you can still whittle enemies down through cover due to the luck-system that I can't remember ever seeing in a TBT.
The game is fairly challenging, with player characters and enemies dying in 1-2 shots.
What makes it stand on its own legs is the surprisingly wide array of weapons and usable equipment, alongside the ability system that uses poker cards. These cards give stats and new abilities to use, and arranging them to poker hands is rewarded with powerful upgrades. A straight means health regen, or a 5 of a kind (joker card + 4) is +2 damage.
Its not all combat however. The story is told in 8 distinct 1-3hour scenarios that neatly tie up into each other. You do different things in this world map which reward or punish (or both) you depending on your choices. Robbing a grave might give you a great rifle but also curse you.
Setting: the wild west theme mixed with supernatural is in my opinion a very good thing. It makes the game stand out and makes the story interesting. Fighting demons with a revolver is quite fun.
So in conclusion its a solid title, which surprised me a lot. I expected it to be generic and shallow, especially since it seemingly jumped out of nowhere to my sight. I'll heartily recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to play any more XCOM but could do with some TBT action.

In all honesty, this is pretty accurate.
FRESH BAGELS
>>123080621
The anon above answered about being "good", I'll just add that Hard West is much more a puzzle game than a tactical game (like Valkyria Chronicles).
You have to fight battles, but they are mostly prearranged, and your starting conditions for each battle are mostly prearranges as well. So once you figure out the approaches to each battle, and get an understanding of combat mechanics, it becomes easy. Also, due to all that, it offers very little replayability.

whats a good streaming software, i wouldnt mind getting wasted and upset at EUclassicon stream

It was great to laugh at man but thanks for putting on a show.
I might still host my Ironman Impossible stream later on tonight depending on how competent I'm feeling.
>>123126626
I'm using Open Broadcasting Software, works pretty well with XCOM other than that if you have a Nvidia card you can use Shadowplay but I haven't tried streaming with it yet.
>>123126842

That said, you did a nice stream as far as I was able to watch. You should try it more often.

What's with the ranger meme in the beaglerush highlights?
>>123136452
Beagle always comments how Ranger is such a "boring perk" so each time any enemy is left with one hit point everybody immediately goes RAAANNGEEERRR or something like that. This has been going for quite a while now.
>>123139863
Ever since it was merged with gunslinger I found it a better choice.
page 10
>>123140215
So does Beagle but even then he is still a bit tsun about it.
>>123065024
Where do you put this in?
How can you change the default color for Rookies in LW? It's annoying to go through each guys just to chage it.
>>123145042
>changing the default color for rookies
nah man. That ugly tan color is how you know someone's life isn't worth anything yet.
>>123145171
in long war they're red, not tan
>>123145249
Now you know they're expendable.
>>123145042
in the ini aswell.
you open the stuff w/ notepad++ and look the lines up in the text
>>123145495
What specific line? been scouring through the file but im not good with symbols and shit
>>123145249
is there anything LW doesn't fuck up
>>123145970
Well Long War makes rookies into redshirts, that's pretty cool.
>>123146085
I make my heavies red and blue though to color code them between Bullet Swarm and Holo-Targeting though ._.
>>123146346
But that's a vanilla class, how does that matter in Long War?Heavy is split into gunner and rocketeer in Long War. Gunners don't get bulletswarm either, which is also now called Light em' up
>>123146527
>I can't have a mayhem+danger zone blaster launching rocketeer that can fire twice in a turn
and still, I'd probably color code them similarly between BIG MAN THAT DOES THE DAMAGE AND IS ALSO SAVAGE AS WELL vs BIG BARA MAN HELPING HIS BIG BARA BROS WITH SLICK SUPPRESSION AND TRICKY TRACERS
>>123145719
It's commented out next to the variable.
Search for "armor" "tint" "color" "rookie" and so on.. I'm not at home so can't check.
>>123146621

Why do these fayygots keep throwing mechtoid/berserker/heavyfloaters at me
yay i got past the early game on classic completely ignoring the game objective (capturing an alien)
although 4 countries left already, and looks like 5th is leaving too soon.
>>123156676
That's what you're suppposed to do. Vanilla strategy is building workshops and sats as fast as you humanly can while researching weapons tech, then when you have the whole world covered and all the tech you want researched, only then do you start capturing shit and advancing the plot.
>>123070869
Would be neat if you could hire old guys with the basic robot arms and legs though.
Like old veterans that have been hiding out like central.
>>123100496
I think it would be neat to discover the avenger has an outsider.
Make it be the one unit you can deploy mid mission around the map. He's carry only one weapon and have average stats.
If he dies, the avenger is grounded until he can reform.
>>123162067
literally why would you ever deploy him
>>123162950
a free extra unit with relatively arbitrary deployment positioning would be op, why would you ever not deploy him
>>123162067
>implying outsider wouldn't try to fug whole crew on sight
>>123164327
Outsiders are "remote control units", they won't "fug" the crew if controlled by said crew.
Any streams on?
>>123167253
Outsiders receive command psionically.
>>123168863
In a little while there is going to be LlamaChomp on the Firaxis stream.
>>123161016
idiotic and counter intuitive, reason i kept failing.
at least learned from it. How are MECs by the way? I am pretty far in and doing fine with my squad although casualty here or there, nothing that is super bad. Haven't used a mec yet figuring ayy woukd just focus fire on it and shit. Plus not sure what troop to amputate.
>>123187026
MECs are pretty swell. No matter what, they bring utility, cover destruction, crowd control, etc.
They are plenty tanky enough to survive if you aren't instantly wiping out contacts.
They do cost alot of meld tho
>>123187357
Do they need any will? Playan with all second wave options available from begining except save cum. I suppose the dont need will that much but I fear if they panic and decide do go friendly fire then. Although defenders medal should fix that.
What do you suggest anon?
>>123187836
IIRC their will gets rerolled in vanilla when they become MECs. So if anything, you should take those with low will.
Why would you play with all second wave options if its your first playthrough? Many of them make the game harder.
>>123187836
Second wave options are mostly garbage imo, you really should only turn them on for subsequent playthroughs.
>>123188312
I played enemy uknown normal ironman with no options already and then found out ew is same thing but more.
>>123189545
Yeah if you've already played EU that's a different story, but since you didn't know about satrushing I thought it's your first playthrough.

Ok its about time I ask.
How do I git gud at this?
I cant beat a LW campaign, always falls apart somewhere around Disks and mechtoids showing up, on normal.
I can't beat a Xenonauts campaign, always falls apart because no money for interceptor force and the high tier Aliens showing up despite my gear, so I lose my best troops faster than they can be trained up.
I just BARELY beat a Classic Ironman game in EW vanilla for the steam achievement, after 6 tries.
Usually it comes down to there being too many aliens in a mission in LW, and they just beat me with attrition since they dont have to worry about making bad moves or taking bad shots like I do. I dont even know what im doing wrong honestly, should I try that second wave thing that reduces the number of ayys per mission?
Thanks in advance.
>>123192368
If tactical gameplay is fucking you on LW we could try and baby you through a tough mission. Got any saves just before a tough as shit mission?
>>123192825
I only play Iron man, so no I don't sorry.
>>123191051
So much unreasonable hate...
What have Floaters ever done to you?!
>>123192368
Motion trackers are incredibly useful to avoid activating multiple pods of aliens at the same time. You'll want to take a gunner and some smoke on every mission when cyberdiscs and mechtoids start showing up so you can suppress them for a while or up your defense if you can't kill them in one turn. Cyberdiscs in particular usually do nothing but overwatch when suppressed.
Pay attention to the map description in the loadout. Most roadways are linear and without much flanking opportunities so you might want 2 snipers and lots of smoke. Urban maps are more likely to have lots of destructible cover so bring some rockets or sapper engineers.
I wouldn't recommend Quick and Dirty because I think it isn't balanced for the amount of corpses and weapon fragments you need. You DO want to turn on Durability because item repair is retarded.
>>123195627
Thanks, i'll try to apply these tips.

are you serious, my first game was Classic, with 0 casualties
Classic isn't hard if you know what the game is gonna throw at you next
only Impossible is actually difficult and only because there's too many pods on too-small maps so you always get double/triple activations. it's still distinctly manageable. get good motherfucker

>ITP: Things that never happened.

>>123200897
>>123201101
it's tile-based gameplay with 3d characters of differing sizes, dude
it's either they stay a bit away, or have horrible clipping/animation issuesI hope they completely change the cover mechanics, cover in newcom is way too weak and it's clear they wanted lots of epic flanking/pincer attack/running gun battle gameplay from all the tooltips, but it just doesn't work because cover is so useless

I suppose they're not essential, but I try to bring two on every mission because they're just so good. On 4-man EXALT missions they're especially important.

I've been wanting to do it for ages, but D&D is godawful and I can't find another system I actually want to run. They're all too complicated in all the wrong spots, and then really freeform and loose in bits that should matter.
I'm tempted to just write a homebrew system from scratch and run some low-tech XCom shit as a playtest
>>123225228
Someone here posted their tabeltop x-com campaign they did with a few other players.
Was pretty cool, basically used Time Units with some huge dmg/weapons guide a military enthusiast wrote up. Wish I remembered more details on it.
>>123225786
Dude even did some diorama/mini stuff.
ok so Classic is too easy in vanilla so it's boring, and Impossible is completely unfair and not even fun. What's some gimmick shit I should try in EU to make Classic a bit more spicy but without the outright bullshit of moving up to Impossible
>>123229765
LW Classic with air game mod/ini changes
enjoy magnificence
>>123230026
>LW
>EU
no
and even if I did have it, it sounds like LW basically makes the same changes Impossible does that make Impossible not fun by being overtly unfair like a shitty mario romhack (too many ayys to shoot per turn leading to guaranteed deaths for you, ayys having way too much health for the weapons you start with while your soldiers being made of paper maché, all your guys having 55 Aim to the ayys' average of 80 or 90, etc)
>>123230203
actually no
i find with small ini tweaks (air game ini tweaks only for me) LW introduces a breath of fresh air, new mechanics and depth to xcom. Especially moreso if classic vanilla is too easy and boring for you.
That's how I started my long war and I never looked back.

I was in the same boat of "classic easy, impossible ridiculous" for vanilla, and LW adds a ton of variety while being generally fairexcept for the air game, but even that's manageable without ini edits
I especially love early game in long war, since you can go flashbangs on everyone to neuter sectoids/thin mints and just rush up for point-blank 100% hit flank shots without a care in the world. All the while spamming motion tracker to know what you're getting into
I've never even played vanilla EW, it was easily worth it for long war alone.
My first mission on ironman superhuman. It can only get worse from here on out.
I know, this campaign I was so scared because I had bad memories from my first long war campaign. I was surprised at how easy it was, but it was probably because this run I didn't underestimate the difference lightning reflexes makes on a council mission. Zhang makes an excellent biotank (later psitank) assault as well.

shit missed the quote somehow
>>123232010
>>123233828
Motion tracker is really good, especially since it doesn't end your turn.
>>123230203
The best comparison I can make is that vanilla impossible feels like a puzzle, while LW I/I feels more like a fight. As for the alien health, yeah it's higher, but it climbs in increments as the aliens improve their research. There are also several abilities that increase damage output significantly.
What is the most adorable class in all of XCom and why is itthe basic SHIV
>>123243978
I dunno. The Hover SHIV is kind of adorableAnd sometime even useful.

>>123230203
The problem of impossible is that every mistake is punished by a dead soldier (for a very flexible definition of "mistake"). This forces a very rigid playstyle, which is kinda interesting but since you have no tools beyond grenades and since every deviation is punished by loss it can get quite repetitive.
LW gives you a shitload of tools from the start, gives everyone more survivability so random oneshot deaths are no longer anywhere close to a guarantee, and forces you to train your entire roster so the one random oneshot death you will take every fifth mission isn't debilitating.
>bring a squaddie sniper along to train him up
>every other soldier gets missed at least occasionally
>but the sniper can't help but eat a crit every time I leave him anywhere he can even be targeted
He also can't make any shots either. Are some characters just actually cursed in-game and doomed to be useless forever? This happened with my last game, too, I got a sniper as a reward for a mission and he never made a single shot the entire time I used him and would die really, really easily.
>>123251173
Um I don't think you know how to use snipers.
>>123252702
he's probably playing that weird game mode called vanilla where snipers don't get squadsight immediately
>>123252865
Oh that weird ass tutorial, ok.
>>123210971
>XCOM 2 takes place before base
>Sectoid commander was probably upgraded in some form
Xcom first timer here, normal vanilla, so far so good. Base defense mission was bullshit though.
>>123263172
You don't know bullshit until the base defense mission drops four mectoids on you in the first turn.
>>123263696
And your heat gunners got looked over for a hit n run scout with a shotgun.

Are the Beagles coming in one hour or two? Are they coming at all?
>>123275121
supposed to be in 2 hours
>>123275121
beagles will resume in february. he doesn't give a shit about xcom anymore.
>>123275121
>>123275268
>>123275342
Beagle actually put up his streaming notice this time.
>>123275589
because he is contractually obligated to continue TNX
>>123275725
can't fake disconnects two weeks in a row, or else the thin mints at firaxis get suspicious.
Got bored at work and played around with GIMP.
February can't come soon enough

VIGILO CONFIDO
>>123275121
Beagle is streaming, but he's playing X-COM: UFO Defense, not LW.
>>123278682
XCOM, please purge the waiifu fags for the sake of humanity or at the very least the snake fags. They have proven to be pure and utter cancer.
>>123279386
Wait.
What?
WHY?!
>>123283138
Change of pace.
Something different to break out of the monotony most likely. He's pretty burned out.
>>123283138
Because he's burned on LW and can't even fake more "my internet is acting up", so he have to play something xcom-related. Sing praises to him that he didn't pick xcom:enforcer to play.
Liveads
IT BEGINS
>winamp
>>123283858
Final Mod Pack is active on superhuman.He's gonna get his ass kicked
inb4 several squadwipes in a row
>>123283461
>>He's pretty burned out.
>>123283539
>>Because he's burned on LW...
How that can even happen?
>>123283858
>>IT BEGINS
But not in LW.
>>123284674
gonna be gud anyways
>>123284674
You try playing on 3 simultaneous campaigns, each with their own magnificence.
this is gonna hurt
>>123285328
Beagle has no idea what he is doingGlorious
Are there any interesting combat items for a scout to carry and use with concealment? Does psi break concealment?
>>123285328
>>123285626
>>Beagle has no idea what he is doing
Why? What going wrong already?
>>123286005
He hasn't really played the Final Mod Pack. Alot of the new weapons are pretty useless, which he'll discover himself. I also think early armor is useless against everything but hybrids, but that just might be my opinion.
He also is on a night mission with no flares. This is the biggest one. Nothing has actually gone wrong yet.yet
>>123286362
>>Spoilers.
And Beagleluck strikes again.
>>123284734
I'm sure of that yet, still...
>>123286362
so Bagel luck is still a thing in other games as well? or just XCOM games?
>>123286770
He was kind of lucky in what I have seen of him in Fallout 4.
>>123286362
>>Alot of the new weapons are pretty useless
This worries me.
>>123286770
Beagle is actually a minor luck deity
can skyranger somehow get destroyed in that xcom?
>>123287589
The craft is lost on a squadwipe.
>Scout tank only takes one space and has smoke
I think I'm in love
>>123287191
It's true, if you pray to Beagle you will have more luck than you did before.
>>123285838
nobody?
>>123285838
Pretty sure every item will break concealment.
So is he using that openXCom remake or whatever with another mod or three enabled? This seems pretty fun, desu desu
>>123289438
Openxcom with the Final Mod Pack.
>>123289345
Thanks, it only mentions firing so I wanted to make sure.
