So now I have to spend the next day downloading this game for my brother before he comes down here.
This is gonna be a bother.
I love how the game gives your guys a random bio. They may repeat a bit but its a good little touch.
Out of frustration I decided to restart campaign on the lowest difficulty and guess what? Same cheap oneshots and 94% misses. :hairpull::hammered:
Christ this is so fucking buggy it's unreal. I just failed to evac my best soldier after rescuing a VIP. She ran into the blue square and I tapped 5 to reel her in. The rope rolls down and she climbs it, and then reappears on the grass in a T-pose. Everyone else evac'd successfuly except for her and she got shot by a Mec and killed.
Next mission was a retaliation and there was an invisible Muton Berserker. I could target him but I couldn't see him.
I had my first mission where you have to rescue civilians in an area. Met the new enemy type [sp]faceless fucker[/sp] and I guess their melee range is a few tiles or something? I had a guy stood near him, decided to use both my movement turns to GTFO away from the shitter and he followed and proceeded to 1 hit kill my dude. Then my Sniper was sniped from across the map by a Sectoid, both my survivors decided to panic and not allow me to do anything.
The last man standing was me who I made. I managed to kill the new enemy by exploding a propane tank which I thought was cool but then 1 of the 2 Sectoids just mind controlled me to end the game for me :C.
Just to add insult to injury, I couldn't restart the mission and had to re-load from earlier so the map was generated different, however this time I was ambushed by a Sectoid and commander trooper right where I dropped in so in turn 1-2 I received an injury on my highest ranking dude/sniper :\

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;49680787]I haven't tried this yet but rush max squad size and then overwatch when you have stunlancers on the map. They run at you and then they aren't behind cover so you can kill them.
Either way its dumb. Both lancer and ranger shouldn't have slash after a run.[/QUOTE]
No solutions early game, though? Even in the very first Blacksite, I'm running into issues because every enemy cell has a Lancer in it, I'm still at 4 teammates, and I inevitably get at least one just completely disabled by the time I get to the facility. There's got to be some better solution than just set there in overwatch, doesn't there?

I think using flashbangs on lancers decreases the chance that they'll KO you or even try to charge, but I could be wrong

Try to kill them within your turn, if they move you're fucked. Alternatively, flashbang them.
[QUOTE=mralexs;49679771]Stunlancers are friggin pushovers on Veteran. They can barely hit their targets and if they do, they stun them for the rest of ADVENT's turn. Vipers are more annoying cause they keep dragging my troops into VERY bad spots[/QUOTE]
And sometimes the Viper snags my useless rookie, and then the Codex does some freaky AoE psi magic on the rookie, and on the next turn this kills both the stun lancers, the rookie, and leaves the viper with 2 HP
(the turn after this)

And from that same mission:

This is why the Codex would be perfectly fine IF it didn't clone during my turn
:snip:
Also, dont be like me and just ignore armor until you already have plasma weapons.
didnt realize that predator armor gave so much hp bonus at no disadvantage with an extra utility tool
I thought I heard you could change your soldiers class, but I don't see it. Is that not actually the case?
I'm getting way too many snipers.

Advanced Warfare center allows you to do that. Guerrilla Tactics allows you to train any rookie into a squaddie of class choice.
oh my fuuuucking god can someone please tell me how i can get the camera to see through walls? every goddamn mission it's a total toss up whether the building with my entire squad inside is gonna let me see what's happening

My argentine sniper was called a war hero in her home country...born in 2007. The greatest 8-year old marksman of our time. Of course in-game she sucks shit and misses the majority of 80% shots

Please try harder next time central...
I wonder if it's possible to get people back who've been "captured" aka left behind on timed missions,
I lost my favorite Specialist because I decided to fuck around with Skulljacking people :/

the blacksite was suffering, but somehow I made it through without losing anyone. Keep noticing weird los issues with flanking and cover and stuff, though.
In general I'm enjoying it but it feels way harder than the previous Xcom- I don't have much of an issue with lancers, but the turn timers on lots of missions feels really oppressive (they were a rarity in EU/EW), and [Sp]Codex[/Sp] enemies can get royally fucked
I think I'm just going to play on easy for the time being, I'm getting too frustrated.
map-crossing instant-KO stun lancers, no ADVENT troopers (specifically the troopers) spawning after I get the ability to build Predator armor, no intel missions leading to the inability to make contact leading to one bar left on the Avatar project...all this and I'm only like 6 hours in.
The lancers I keep facing miss at the best times. Guess I've got beagle luck.
I just had a clutch as fuck moment. My best and oldest soldier at 2 health, used her last turn to turn off the ufo signal, sectoid at the other side of the room, try to kill it with my other soldiers but only get it down to 2 as well. Decide to use my last soldiers aid protocol on her in the hopes he goes for someone else.
He doesn't.
He goes to fire a shot at me and it looks like the end. But then I remember, my specialist has the perk for aid protocol to give reaction shots as well. My hero raises her shotgun at the same time as the sectoid, and the sectoid eats the fucking [B]DUST.[/B]
Mission Complete.
Also, another mission.

So, the Sectoid autopsy is codenamed "[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kecksburg_UFO_incident"]Kecksburg[/URL]"
Ayyy lmao
I'm probably just stupid, but how do you get more engineers? The only way I can see getting more is recruiting more at your HQ, but that costs like 180 supply.
For those who didn't pre order you can get the resistance warrior pack cheep here.

So are there any ayys not shown off by Fraxis
This is very likely to be late but something dumb I randomly noticed in the pre-load.
