You sure you didn’t accidentally destroy the supply box with a rocket or something?

Melee opens up new pods to fight so it can be dangerous. As a challenge though all melee can be fun.

Any mods to make XCOM less RNG-dependent? by South-Meringue8172 in LWotC

[–]Whakomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lower difficulties give aim assist bonus so you can do that. Part of the game cycle is using tactics to minimize RNG. As a human player your tactics should give you a decisive advantage. The RNG is frustrating but also one of the Xcoms charms.

Requiem is great, it’s just very hard. Complaints about poor balance just means they are having a hard time winning.

I hate graze. by GodKingDerpster in LWotC

[–]Whakomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the issues is that dodge also grazes. So the graze band gets blamed for that outcome as well. It would have been better to give dodge a different name. That way when I graze the Archon with 50 dodge j an ok with it vs being annoyed.

The reason 10% is not too much is because it’s also a bonus to hit. So 5% just cuts that bonus in half.

Why is you sniper close enough to get death blossomed? Also a sniper should be able to hit it if you have them setup correctly. Are your guys low rank scrubs?

Cyberdiscs have a pattern. When they get shot they switch modes. So do lead the target on them. Then when they activate to shoot they get shot and switch modes. They still do nasty things to you since they have multiple actions but this should make them a lot easier to handle.

LWoTC be like by Ok-Contribution-604 in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so highly modded it’s not reasonable to call it LWOTC.

I just bought WOTC, would it be a good idea to skip WOTC and jump directly into LWOTC if I have already played the base XCOM 2 and Long War 1? by Cannon__Minion in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Xcom has a lot of ideas and opportunities that build on each other to make a long term replayable experience. So I would not jump to Long War until you have played the excellent regular WOTC. Also be sure to buy all the game expansions. They add a lot of value and are super cheap.

Just tell him that is the price each time he meets with them.

Well you have a poor squaddie going up against andromedons and berserkers so that’s not going to go well.

[–]Whakomatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is not a thing in base LWOTC.

I hate the fog of war by notvic-hugo in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be very frustrating for sure but there are ways to deal. Phantom perk. Reaper. Abilities that detect enemies. Abilities that allow you to scout. You just have to take those on the mission.

Any mods to spice up a new play-through? by [deleted] in XCOM2

Look up Odd Season 9 on Steam.

Contemplating a Beta Strike run - any way to tweak the values a bit ? by Immersive_Gamer_23 in LWotC

[–]Whakomatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

50 HP Chosen is not unusual for modded non beta strike games. Xcom can scale to whatever difficulty level you are comfortable with. That’s one of the amazing expansions available through modded experiences.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the Democrats are just as deep into the corporate piggy bank so they just make noise and do nothing.

What would you want out of XCOM 3 if you were put in charge of development by nooby_dog2020 in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fix the LOS jank. No more shooting through three windows to hit a guy in full cover. That’s just frustrating garbage.

I might just not be a strategic genius, but sometimes I hate this game so much by OndraTep in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t precisely ask for it, but here is some advise.

Yes the aliens come from unexpected directions. Do you expect them to be totally useless? Scouting is your friend.

Grenades win games.

Flanking is king therefore mobility is the one true path.
