[QUOTE=Eva-1337;49952052]Oh boy, now there are arms and shoulder slots? This is awesome! I just hope it doesn't mess with other mods.[/QUOTE] doesn't mess with mods, theres a normal arm section as well. [editline]17th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Hogie bear;49951866]For a bunch of cosmetics???[/QUOTE] cosmetics take a good amount of space. 'Capnbubs Accessories Pack' on the workshop is 152 mb right now and its just a bunch of helmet types.

Question: people didn't like the Power Armour in XCOM 2. Was the reaction the same for the Titan Armour in XCOM: EU?

There are new customization options for both Powered Armor and Plated Armor. Also EXO and WAR. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4379567/destiny/skeletoncom.PNG[/t]

Is this a bug that happens because I tinkered with max soldiers on mission or is RNG this weird on Commander difficulty? VIP extraction mission, the extract point is right behind us while the VIP is on the edge of the map, my soldier drops down from the roof we spawned in and we are swarmed by enemies from every single angle. Is this normal? Also for some reason even if I pick 6 soldiers the game will autopick 8 and in my squad loadout screen I have 8 slots free and 9th is "upgradable!". wtf

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;49952125]Question: people didn't like the Power Armour in XCOM 2. Was the reaction the same for the Titan Armour in XCOM: EU?[/QUOTE] Kinda, but the lower tiers of armour look a lot cooler in 2 as well.

Hey all, just started the Long War. It seems pretty hard, though I'm not sure if it's the smarter aliens, me being stupid, or the rookies who graduated from the Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy. I completed 3 abductions so far, losing about 1-2 rookies each time. Also, I just lost US from the council even though nothing seemed to happen there... Any tips for the long-term strategy? For vanilla XCOM:EW I just spammed satellites and then took my sweet time to research everything, but I hear that's not going to work in the Long War.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;49952125]Question: people didn't like the Power Armour in XCOM 2. Was the reaction the same for the Titan Armour in XCOM: EU?[/QUOTE] I think it looked better and i also liked how it made you immune to things. I didn't really [i]like the design[/i], but it plays the part of power armor better than the new one. Though what really bothers me about the last tiers in these two games is how the neck is exposed with a helmet on, more so for XCOM 2 since titan had a neck piece of sorts from what i remember. It feels very indecent and defeats the point of using the suit, y know ?

Someone should try to make War Boys from Mad Max

Oh man, the new Customization Items have an Icon next to their name, to show that they're from the DLC. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/530669546149770567/8FEC283616983CB3B7EE6F11229A5A66CF2132C5/[/t] I really hope Modders will be able to set something similar, it would be fantastic to know what everything's come from.

I've decompiled the script from the DLC files, only a matter of time until I can test it. I'm probably gonna write my own though, to be on the safe side.

I still don't know if I hate this DLC or love this DLC.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;49952648]I still don't know if I hate this DLC or love this DLC.[/QUOTE] It's an extremely mixed bag. Some items are cool, others are completely terrible. There doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;49952648]I still don't know if I hate this DLC or love this DLC.[/QUOTE] Given the theme a lot of the workshop mods seem to be in, I think the theme of the DLC is a pretty good choice. It tackles a niche theme that's pretty much only been present in some tattoo packs on the workshop.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;49952648]I still don't know if I hate this DLC or love this DLC.[/QUOTE] I personally love it a lot, but I don't mind the pieces that are out of place. Never been big on making my groups like a matching unit, or making them look like a military anyways, so, I'm pretty biased here. And I mean, how great are moments like this now [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/530669546149867881/1EA2610EBCA9BFCACDAEFD9701F117FA0B99C0D6/[/t]

you know it feels like a saints row cosmetic pack, now that I think about it

The thing that I don't like about the DLC (and pretty much all "Mad Max inspired" stuff) it the spiked stuff and the useless straps. Straps exist to hold a thing on another thing, if they just wrap around you they're useless. Spikes are dumb, they're not intimidating and they'd get caught on fucking everything. I don't mind impractical stuff like demon masks or whatever, but stuff that would actively hinder you I just don't like at all.

I think I'd like this pack more if the punky edgy stuff wasn't the focus. I would be all over this if there were some options that were just regular civilian clothes with random XCOM military stuff on them, or even captured and retooled ADVENT armor.

Short shorts and an assault rifle is going to be my default rookie uniform by the way, they need to earn their fancy leather vests.

Also for all the "Mad Max inspired" stuff I see, Mad Max never really did the useless straps and spikes. Like 2 people in Humungus' group had spikes on them and the straps on everyone (except Humungus) were mostly practical.

finally, I can outfit my snipers in just booty shorts the metal gear legacy lives on

I love this pack so much. I like to think my BDSM crazed soldiers are trying to get the aliens to reconsider if they even want earth that much.

This is [i]exactly[/i] what I wanted. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25802995/ShareX/2016/03/20160317164608_1.jpg[/t]

The thing is guys there's already a large number of armor mods for realism or better looking high tech armor like the halo armor ports and such, there isnt much in the way of more light hearted high quality stuff, this pack meshes really well with the current mods we have, if they added proper military uniforms and whatnot then some mods would just become irrelevant because they'd be higher quality and in the game as is.

Is there a preview of the DLC items somewhere? I don't want to buy it and discover it's all shitty bondage gear.

Like the "Samurai" masks are just sort of glued to the troop's face, and there's some clipping here and there... Other than that I'm quite content with this pack, I like silly shit. I also like how short shorts fit nicely with Ninja's BDUs.
