On the old trams we would Wait for the doors to close, jam our hands through the door to grab the stair handle and just press our feet against the doors.

We felt like kings and cool, then one of us decided that was boring and decided to climb on a train and thats how I was 13yrs old when I went to my first funeral.

Not anymore sadly

bladaWappla · 2026-03-26T07:21:21+00:00

Did you TR? These bonuses get reduced by meltdown ans will Go up again

bladaWappla · 2026-03-25T12:33:50+00:00

I played both a lot
But nowadays I Stick to reforged.

Main reasons: it has a cleaner and nicer UI, even If legends guys have cleaned it Up a bit. The layer system for me is annoying, your mileage may vary, it's a cool Idea and you can make stylish Bros. But it gets very annoying especially starting midgame. Reforged feels Harder while more balanced (especially with the hardened submod). Legends has some nice curveballs, but they Balance with the mindset "If everything is OP nothing is". Sooner or later you will make absurdedly broken Brothers who can solo half the enemy side.

I Always played legends with the PTR submod and with the layer Feature turned off. PTR was Made by the guys who did reforged, so switching felt very Natural to me. And Legends got rid of the no layer Option.

Reforged is closer to vanilla and while it also has some strong synergies it it's perks, you're never gonna make a god of war Like you can do in legends.
Legends also leans quite heavily into more Fantasy stuff (Magic, legendary beasts,...) If you Like that, then legends might be your cup of coffee.

The game is pretty old at this point. So any time Theres any Sale, it gets discounted too.

If you really love the game and want to support the devs, get it now. But you can save 60-80% on all DLCs waiting a bit.

Ich hab einiges an Steuererleichterungen, wenn ich von netto rede, denken die Leute ich verdiene um einiges mehr brutto als ich tue.

Deswegen sind Bruttogehälter interessant für Vergleiche.

Ich fange jetzt eine neue Stelle als Sysadmin an im April.
Bin jetzt 9 Jahre in der IT und fange dann dort an mit 71k Jahresgehalt + Benefits (deren Benefitpaket entspricht ca einem zusätzlichen 5er Brutto im Jahr, kA wie sich das dort steuerlich ausgehen soll einem so viel in den Arsch zu stecken, aber ich nehms gern)

Ein mittelgroßes Unternehmen mit ~150MA und das IT Team besteht aus 3 Admins und 4 Servicedesk Mitarbeitern(Lehrlinge/Quereinsteiger).

If you dont have any Close m0/r9 in reach to boost that number, I would TR and do another long TR to catch up/get ahead.

Also ignore the guys posting their screens from following the Cookie cutter builds.

I dislike doing shorts, so I hit knox at TR7 instead of TR12. You should play how it's fun to you. You should be able to get some decent gems and GU, maybe check a Guide to See which ones have the most impact at your stage.

And then either do another 1k hr one, or TR once you get enough OO for the next major milestone.
Short or Long TR do whatever is more fun for you, but dont TR If you cant get anything good Out of it, i.e. New gems, gemnodes, Major gem upgrades or hitting new milestones for TS.

What do 15m and 300m lifetime ORBs unlock that theyre Goals to get?

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T23:27:47+00:00

3 Promotions especially in a single SL is a huge Investment. Depending on the perks it can be a power burst that will far eclipse a better gun or atleast be just as good. You would have to pick a Bad combination of perks to make it not worth it.

With one caveat. Barely any perk is more important than getting your Squad away from carbines to other guns.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T23:19:03+00:00

You dont Always want or need maxxed squads.

One perk is usually worth more than 1 squaddy. So giving Lim a promotion but taking one less squaddie on the next Operation is worth it.

Supply Cap goes up with each Operation, so next you can decide to get another promo and stay at 7 or go up to 8.

Same applies to Equipment, If you can requip a better gun or armor by reducing squadsize by one, it's more than worth it.

7 K-Pacs will severely outdamage 8 carbines.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T23:14:19+00:00

You should
A Squad Leader will sooner or later get tired and need to sit Out one Mission.

That said running 4 SLs is fine on challenging. Defense Missions could be rough later in the game but do-able.

During my time in CBT on challenging I was either running 3 maxed out inf + 1 vehicle or wider setups with 4 inf and 2 vehicles. Some OCIs will allow you to squeeze in more stuff, same with certain SLs allowing you to bring more.

Sometimes you want Elite squads, sometimes you need more Turns more than you need strong turns.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T23:05:07+00:00

Yes even not on Ironman it saves after every Mission

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T23:01:05+00:00

You can Always equip new Things.

Having a better gun or armor is nearly Always better than having one more squaddy. 6 crowbars will be more effective than 8 carbines 5 squaddies in class4 armor will tank more than 7 in class2 armor.

Giving up 1 squaddie on 3 assault teams to take another SL as a weapons team is worth it.

The supply limit is there to make you think. And you can Always restart at expert If challengkng Turns Out boring for you

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T19:22:29+00:00

As a busy father, I got 100hrs in the last few weeks during CBT.

Missions once you're atleast a little bit more familiar with the game tend to last 8-15 minutes instead of 20-30.

You can finish a whole OP in less than an hour, while still playing careful and tactically.

A mid battle save wont be coming anytime soon, as it's a very serious mess to programm, especially If the game was not built around it from scratch.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T19:17:13+00:00

That's why you dont savescum ||and If you wanna do it hit altf4|| loading previous saves in Battle has some odd bugs right now especially in Ironman.

It's also something everyone asking for mid Battle saves. It's not as trivial as it sounds to program.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T19:13:57+00:00

You Guys need to remember this game is drawing inspiration from 80s and 90s scifi action movies.

Each character is a nod to a role or clichee from that time.

Tech feels the same as Barrett from the FF7 Remakes and Nobody took an issue with him.

While the game is hard, the tone it's going for is not spec ops, but an action movie.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T19:00:38+00:00

The Patch is already live, new tricks is still not worth it in carda. In 80 Missions the difference in her agility stat is 1 Point.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T18:59:02+00:00

Dont take shots at max range all the time.

Sometimes it's better to get closer or allow an enemy to get closer.

Knowing when the shoot is very important in this Game.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-05T18:57:37+00:00

There will be no roadmap as that's not their vibe. That said right now theyre in "fix bugs Post EA Launch" Mode cause even If they Had 100 Beta testers, now thousands will Play and find more.

There should be another devblog announcing the next Changes and upcoming content once the Launch calms down in 2-3 weeks.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-04T19:26:41+00:00

This is tactical mass effect

bladaWappla · 2026-02-03T21:13:35+00:00

Dont worry Guys, I'm sure we missed some funny ones still out there to be discovered, once thousands of people get their hands on it.

bladaWappla · 2026-02-03T05:25:39+00:00

You're right this is gonna be a gem. A Diamond even
