That Purifier was like: "Yeeaaah Imma use my flamethrower" He ran in and realized: "Wait Robots don't care about fire, ABORT! ABORT!"
24:00
23:58 - *Purifier runs out of cover*
"Oh hell no."
*Runs back to cover.*
Han Solo Moment for sure.
When that biofaceless missed that 100% right next to Magnusson (18:20), i instantly became a follower of High Priest Odd and the Church of RNGesus. Gonna buy some lotto tickets later as well.
"I'm not seeing any of these civilians..." has yet to move 30 feet from spawn LOL.
Odd, if you run Julian up directly on a bad guy (adjacent) he is now giving them High Cover since he cannot do the step aside, it is a side effect of Bulwark. Always leave one square between Julian and his flanked target.
There's no need to always leave one square to Julian and his target. You can put him diagonally and obtain the max weapon range benefit.
Yes that works too and is treated as a non-adjacency. But anything that is not diagonal needs one empty square, just be glad the game is not hex based or diagonals would be cover also.
Yeah, thankfully. By the way, since Odd's SPARK is a unit with full cover in motion, can he screw the line of sight of his teammates? That never happened to me, but it would be very funny to see that in this campaign.
I've never noticed it screwing LOS and I always pick Bulwark, but I am sure it would given the correct line of fire.
That Purifier was hilarious. Runs in, thinks about it for a second, immediately regrets decision and flees. That was awesome lol
That bad aim on Julian was because he technically provided High Cover to the Viper.
lool that is amazing xD
I know right, that is the exact reason I don't that skill of spark myself. I took it the first time I played spark and you know what? The enemy just run up to spark, taking spark as high cover and shoot at spark point blank. And when I tried to shoot back with spark, I notice there is a high cover def cause of that skill. Ever since I have deem that skill as useless myself and take adaptive aim instead.
But I am curious, how many of you actually like that skill?
GhostlyMi I like it quite a lot to be fair, though I have to play around it by punching in diagonals and ensuring that I don't accidentally give them cover.
It can be situational tho because it technically makes them a good nade target but luckily it hasn't happened... yet.
@@ghostlymi3722 Conversely, it's exactly why I always do take it. Because you can just move the SPARK away and the enemy is suddenly flanked out in the open.
Oh man, we're finally going to see it, a Bladestorm Templar on an all-Lost mission!
A couple of thoughts for maximum Templar ownage:
- A multi-kill Arc Wave early in the mission is your fastest path to max focus if you can set it up. (Or drop by the Training Center and pick up Channel.)
- The only two threats the Lost can pose to Durand are Brutes (which probably have enough health to survive a hit from her) and Boomers (obviously). You've got a number of options for dealing with those threats; mainly using Durand's pistol, Arc Wave, or a squadmate's shot to kill Boomers or whittle Brutes down into one-shot range for Bladestorm.
- Resist the temptation to spend focus! You don't need to use Volt on Lost when a max-focus Bladestorm will be far more effective. The only reason you should need to spend focus is if the Hunter shows up, or the one other exception...
- Use Ghost as soon as you hit max focus. Then you've got a second buzz saw to send after the Lost, one that you don't care about taking a hit or two from the threats mentioned above. Durand and her Ghost together can wall off a 6-tile-wide area that almost no Lost can pass through. Along those lines, don't use any abilities on the Ghost at all unless you have to; keep it at max focus and just utilize its Bladestorm. Then, when you retreat to the evac zone, you can leave the Ghost behind to entertain the Lost while everyone else books it out of there.
Happy hunting. :)
I kinda hope Durand gets 'Fortress' this time around, it's SO useful for melee.
That was a 'Han Solo' moment right there. CHARRRRRGEE!! oh SHIT theres more of them!! RUN AWWWWAAAAAYYY! lmao
"I would like to stay on top, but I am worried about the other guy"
My sides 🤣

*June 30, 2035.*
*Operation: N/A*
I wasn’t assigned to go on the next mission unfortunately, even though I was just fine. Natalya, Will, Julian, and a bunch of others went out to gather some supplies from a disabled train.
The chosen also showed up for another attempt at harassing the squad, and we clearly saw that she improved her tactics slightly. She tried to stay out of vision of our soldiers when she gets the chance, and she even almost killed one of those soldiers. They had to put her down like they always do, but their encounter with the chosen basically made things more difficult in the long run.
There was quite a few injuries this time, at least no one died. Looks like the infirmary is going to be filled with people for once. At least Zoey won’t be alone in there with the therapists/doctors.
Speaking of Chosen, we just found out there’s another one. Apparently from what I was told, his style is sniping. Kind of like Wills, except far more deadly than what he could do against him. If I ever face him, I will make sure to give him a fair gun fight that he will never forget.
I went to visit Lily again, and she improved the claymores like I asked her to. She told me that they should explode more deadly and violently now. Meaning that more Advent will get caught in the blast that will hurt them a lot more than it did in the past. I thanked her, and retrieved them.
I also did some socializing with Natalya. She told me about her concerns with the Chosen insulting her kind, calling them “Betrayers.” I re-assured her that the Chosen is only trying to get under her skin, as while she did betray them, it was only to be free. Though I haven’t given her that pep talk word by word of what I just said here, since I thought it would only make her feel worse than what I could do, so I left it short, yet inspring.
Overall, I feel that there isn’t much to talk about this time, minus the fact that the chosen showed up during todays mission, and we found another one of the chosen.
-Rodats, out.
*-End Of Log.*
Rodats Man youre late to the party but thanks for posting!
I have a life, (school) so i'm only spot on for the weekends only.
1:28 Bradford's speech fills you with DETERMINATION.
Decryption Complete: Message from ADVENT High Command
One of our supply trains was not by XCOM today, and despite the efforts of the Assassin, XCOM succeeded and made of with the supplies. These resources will likely be used to strengthen the fight against us, and make our lives all the more difficult. XCOM also discovered a member of the resistance, gaining them even more resources.
While angry at our failure, the Assassin is fortunately the most reasonable of the Chosen, and has realised that there were errors on her part as well. ADVENT will not suffer this time, but be wary of the other Chosen. After their failures they're most likely looking for someone to blame, or possibly use as target practice in the case of the Hunter.
We did find a weakness in the mech finally. The cover it gives to it's allies can be used against it and it's companions, allowing you to avoid incoming fire from both it's allies and itself. (translation if you read this odd, that viper at the end of the fight had high cover from your mechs bulwark. It's a dumb mechanic but it's there.)
We will need to hide and protect our supplies better next time
High Command out
Yeah, that shouldn't be a thing at ALL it's gotta be an oversight.
War recount 15
Well this mission was a rollercoaster of emotions. The Assassin showed up this mission and almost killed Mr. E, who also ran and hid when he saw the Chosen show up (I mean no disrespect, seeing the thing from back here is scary enough, but being down there with it must be another thing entirely). The Assassin also brought in two bio troopers, one of which turned into a new type of faceless. The Assassin and all other Advent in the immediate area were killed bringing things back in our troops favor. A Purifier even showed its true colors running in to engage, then out once it realised what would happen to it. Julian was his usual snarky self, making annoying comments (even after the Commander threatened to turn the bucket of bolts into a turret). Everything was going fine until Magnuson was pulled by two different Vipers and wrapped by them (not at the same time). Nonetheless, all injuries aside, the mission was a success. One resistance contact was met who gave the ground team supplies. The territory for the Hunter was found securing another Chosen to deal with on the map (should be fun). Next mission is going to be for the skirmishers and there'll be lots of lost for the team to deal with. That's everything for today, everyone's calmed down about the Avatar project but we're still being put to work.

"Man on Man motivation" lol
14/15 but all hostels were down. There is a faceless in your base now
So nice to see a SPARK in action.
Too bad the Metal Over Flesh mod makes Sparks from incredibly good to ridiculously and unfairly OP. I mean he got Rapid bloody Fire for his first XCOM skill on the spark~
FYI sparks provide high cover when shooting at an alien right next to them, giving them a high cover bonus to your shot for some reason. Thats what you were seeing.
Also get Ionic Storm on your templar. It does like 4 damage per focus, its not uncommon for you to wipe an entire pod with it. The AoE is bigger than a mine as well with 3 focus.
And the Spark is really fun once you get its final rank. Its this ability that directs ALL damage that hits your allies to the spark instead and gives the spark 3 more armor. Its hilarious vs the archon king.
SHIVs and MECs in XCOM EU/EW did the same thing.
those ADVENT sniper research seem to give you superior sniper rifle, you could equip it on one of your snipers
considering he constantly lets loot expire...yeah.
Journal of an ADVENT General, time of writing is July 8th
XCOM have gone desperate, they went after a disabled supply convoy with intent to capture the cargo in it. The good news was the Assassin was on site to help with this battle and it seemed one of XCOM's soldiers still remembers just how powerful they are as he was sent to a panic, along with her nearly dealing a fatal blow to "Huntsman". Sadly she was unable to kill any XCOM soldiers or get any Intel out from them as they manged to beat her for a 3rd time now. The rest of the mission at that point was XCOM cleaning up.
I must once again ask HQ to check in to any mental damage that may have happened after the link to the Commander's chip was severed, not only did one of our Bio Faceless miss what looked like a easy target to hit, a Purifier unit thought it would be a great idea to try to attack the SPARK unit with his flamethrower... Quickly finding out that robots do not care for fire and ran the other way.
8 days remain... This will come to an end... [Entry ends here]
That is strange, here at Odd campaing the reinforcements calld by the assassin are working propely, at Marbozir campaing she is summoning only one, strange. Well, nice episode Odd, maybe you want to take a loke at the mod "Improved Chosen AI" that fix some issues with the hunter and the warlock.
"He's got a +2 to balls."
Dead.
17:23 That smile she gives you, really intimidating.
Bio trooper turning into a faceless...what is this, a cross over episode?
I think we'd need a Typhon from Prey, first. Someone's probably made a mod for that.
NullHazard7 and the Ranger Balde is modded into a wrench...10/10 would watch
I don't know if anyone else has said this, but I remember you said you didn't feel attached to the SPARKS if they got killed. What if you make a unit and then named it after fallen soldiers? Give them their voices and everything. Story explanation, they figured out how to download a consciousness into the unit Robocop-style.
Ya mean 40k Dreadnought Style? "Even in Death, I serve" :P
Roses are red,
Be joined in the shadows,
Get Armours soon,
You'll really need those.
I love the wheeze at 18:20! xD
Oh yeah! I can't wait to be part of the Soldier Roster!!!
There's something about Magnusson that vipers find him irresistible.
They just wanna hug him and squeeze him and stroke his fuzzy head and call him George...
Maybe it's all the time that he spends standing out in the open.
Odd's goto is engaging from as far back as possible, then charging in with melees because his shot options are lousy.
An enemy positioned adjacent to Spark gains the full cover bonus. That is why Julian’s aim was so low on the final kill. At 34:22 you see the viper has high cover bonus even though Julian has him flanked.
Okay, so that's how they are getting around the 'faceless can appear in any mission' event with no civilians in the mission...interesting...
When you overwatched that stun lancer with a shotgun to the rib cage even my dog felt bad for him 🤣🤣🤣
Julian doesn't use cover... no need to put him in it :)
Rulers are more of a pain than Chosen are ... IMO Chosen should get an actions like Rulers do. :P As far as the 100% miss, the code rounds up for display. The chances were probably 99.6% to 99.9% and you rolled that lucky bit.
Magnusson the snake hugger
Christopher, another great win and hilarious again as well.😁
This Shots sometimes 😂
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Firebrand. This is just meant to be a work of fiction for our beloved (more or less) Skyranger pilot.
Firebrand's personal log - July 8th 2035 (Entry #18)
I hope this won't be my last birthday. Central remembered. And Shen. The others ... well, they couldn't have known. I am actually a bit surprised of Shen, because she wasn't supposed to know. But hey ... she's the computer wiz. Maybe she broke into my classified file or something. I wouldn't care if she did that. She's a sweet girl. Even gave me a little Gremlin to help me around the hangar.
Supply raid mission. It went well ... Even with Bitch #1 showing up, they still showed her. Huntsman was seriously injured though, she almost killed him. He should thank his lucky stars. There were several other injuries too, but the team got back in one piece. With a Faceless stench in the cargo hold. Needed a few good hours to get that smell out. After which, I did install some headphones in the back of the Ranger, without waiting for approval. Hey, if they want to use them, maybe it gets them more pumped up.
Unless my math is wrong ... we won't be able to make it to that West African facility in time. I think the Commander messed up his math. Or maybe he is really relying on that sabotage covert op. Cutting it rather close. Speaking of rather close ... Yes, I should say something. Just in case I won't have the time to do so.
I may seem rather distant at times. And I might not seem too interested in a relationship. That is actually true. I had a relationship once. I was young ... not a full-fledged pilot yet. He was a pilot. Nobody knew him like I did. Some probably thought we were just colleagues or friends. I am pretty sure Central believed that. He was my first and only love. He disappeared after everything went haywire and we had to run. I am sure you have figured out by now whom I'm talking about. I still hope we will find him some day. Not that I expect to resume what we had ... If he's even alive. It's been 20 years, after all. But I definitely did not forget him. And I don't believe I ever will.
Anyway ... I had to get that off my chest. Sorry, Central. I did lie to you once or twice back then. You bought it. Sorry. Then again ... I think you have some secrets of your own, don't you, old man? Call it a woman's instinct. Might be wrong, of course.
Resistance rescue mission. Enough of that trip down memory lane. Back to work. And let's fire up the headphones too, just in case.
Firebrand out.
A spark with Bulwark acts like full cover, this means that they block aim and give the enemy full cover if you stand next to them, that's why the chance to hit was lower. You can stand one square away or diagonally next to them though and it works just fine.
hey Mr Odd :) love ur work! on a side note. when u kill the enemy with the loot and it's on the ground u cant blow it up :) it's only if u kill the enemy that has loot with a granade it's gone :) hope that helps in the future :)
Unless one of the countless mods in use does make it possible to destroy loot. :-)
Cristopherodd spark best over drive combo are 1)hand attack+rocket +shoot second is 2hand attack +shoot+over watch or move 3)hand attack +reload +shoot or over watch or move4)shoot+reload+over watch or move
But, since he has bulwark, does hand attack make sense? I'm assuming it has to be adjacent .
Melee attacks ignore cover usually.
Told ya SPARKs are great in War of Chosen :) Thing does not gets tired, all the perks can be taken, more upgrades for gun. \o/
Aww man there were two more civies in the background!!! They could have had anything!!!!!! That's the time for the Templar pillar ability or something!
The Chosen Assassin in this campaign has died in the most dramatic ways.
Journal Entry 12#
Name: Will 'Billy-Terror' Blazkivitz

Operation: Amber Heart
Looks like we have another smash and grab, good, been wanting to vent some of my anger on some easy pickings, I looked forward to some payback for what those ADVENT bastards did for my partner. Though I suspected Shen our resident head engineer and quartermaster may be had been annoyed at the amount of ammunition I've spent shooting targets on the range back on the Avenger, I'll make sure to grab a couple extra boxes of rounds as a peace offering so my gear is never skipped on a check up.
Working with Eternal, Mr E, Chill, Doc and we even got SPARKY, standard procedure. Scout and find a target, I take the high ground and to my surprise, I see our enemy right near us, a Muton Infector, Gatling Trooper and an Anti Riot MEC. They too look up shocked to see me and they bolted for cover as I had superior flanking. The party guests had arrived so it was time to get the snacks out, we knew the drill by now, get out there.
They pull back not allowing anyone other than me to get a shot on them, so I too pull back and shout at the others to join me to set up a nice kill zone. By the time we get into position uninvited guest drops by, The Assassin and boy did she sound pissed, I guess I would be too if I were killed and brought back to fight those that killed you. At the moment Mr E browns his pants as he hears the Assassin's overcomes and breaks out of positioning. The MEC tries to use this opportunity but Doc and Eternal combine their firepower and while they didn't kill it they did halt the bot from seeking out Mr E.
Sparky moves to assist Mr E but his shot on the MEC misses, the AI asking us if his weapon was properly assembled... How the fuck would I know am I an engineer? Dumb Rustbucket. Luckily Eternal puts down the MEC with a shot right into the chest while the rest of us set up another over-watch kill zone since we knew of three more threats out there still. Doc and I spot the Muton running at us and we pepper the alien with rounds from our respective guns, Chill sees the freak was still alive but changes that fact with a burst of her Mag Bullpup putting him down for good. Two down but that Gatling Trooper was hanging back and the Assassin was getting closer.
The Squad pulls back up top along with Mr E who decided to shot shitting himself but the robot didn't follow, he moved forward. I was going to shout at the rust bucket until he revealed the Assassin, guess SPARKY a good hound dog with those advanced senses. Well, the bitch was here so let us give her the old XCOM welcome. SPARKY charges up and opens with a hail of fire wounding the freak but on his second shot he misses to which the Assassin counters with a shot of her space-age shotgun. Good thing she's a bad shot with it though. Chill and Mr E move to flank her and pump some more rounds into the Chosen. I blast her a couple times with my pistol and honestly wish I had a tank to put her down at that point. Doc even uses a grenade but honestly, I wished he fired that thing before we all started shooting first. Either way, she was heavily wounded but still willing to fight.
The Assassin calls in Bio Troopers to support her before she runs up to MR E and slashes him, meanwhile Eternal hits one of the Bio Troopers in the back as he ran to cover but instead of dying the ADVENT morphed into some huge advanced form of Faceless. Great. At this point, the Assassin falls into the cover of Darkness. Doc then runs to assist Mr E while I try to take down this new Faceless, oh man could it take a beating as it barely flinched from my shot into the chest area. Chill though focuses the second Bio Trooper by pulling him out of cover and slashes at the hybrid then Eternal puts down the wounded trooper with a blast of his shotgun as Julian jumps to the high ground.
The Bio Faceless runs at but this proves to be a mere distraction as the Assassin flanks both Mr E and Doc then sends this purple energy wave at the two dazing them before running to cover. Sneaky bitch.
Eternal jumps down to the Chosen and point blank shoots her in the chest while Julian comes down to assist him with another shot, Chill uses her hook to get around the battlefield quicker allowing her to revive Doc from his dazed state before firing on the Assassin. I jump down to revive Mr E knowing that he wouldn't want to miss his party and with our combined firepower the squad finally puts her down. After another death the Chosen makes a monologue stating she's been bested again and blah blah blah. We had a mission to do so I turned the cow out as the Bio Faceless came at us and tried to hit Eternal but misses entirely with those claws, to which Eternal returns the attention by a shotgun blast to the face killing the mutated alien.
We regroup and heal up, SPARKY states that our over-watching sounded like a job for turrets, dumb things a walking turret. Anyway, SPARKY find a second group consisting of an ADVENT Medic, Lancer, Purifier and that Gatling Trooper who ran away. SPARKY decides to blow up the truck by the Trooper and Medic with a rocket, killing the Trooper and seriously wound the Medic. Mr E sends his GREMLIN in to finish off the Medic with a tingly shock down its spine while Chill attempted to pull the Lancer out of his cover, she barely misses with that thing but I decided to help to output another round into the Lancer just as he decided to peek out. Doc lays out suppressing fire on the Lancer who decides to charge us but Eternal stops that plan but a nice reaction fire on the Lancer stopping him cold dead. The Purifier tried to follow the Lancer but as soon as the Lancer fell over the Purifier ran away regretting his choice. SPARKY gives chase and lays down a hail of fire killing the Purifier without blowing him and the supplies up, good little death bot.
The rest of the squad moves up searching for more foes while I hang back on the hill giving them covering fire. I spy a ADVENT Trooper with a medic and snipe the Trooper seriously wounding him. The medic runs to cover but Chill puts it down before he had a chance. I attempt to finish the Trooper but my shot instead destroy half a tree and sets a nearby car on fire, one of the others asks me “Where were you aiming? Hit the Trooper!” to which I replied “What do you think I'm doing?”
As we argue the guys set up an over-watch trap since they couldn't get any good angles but unfortunately Eternal finds another group of alien forces, a Sectoid and two Vipers. Doc decides to flush out the bastards by using a grenade to kill the trooper and expose the Sectoid who decided to get a little too close to him. Julian takes this chance shoot the flanked Sectoid wounding it more as Chill and eternal pulls back into cover with Mr E. The Sectoid tries to grab Doc's mind but fails since it was heavily wounded, Doc though panics running into a not so great spot but did try to shoot up a Viper at least. Speaking of Vipers one got on the high ground and pulled Eternal up with her tongue before proceeding to constrict the guy in a snake like hug. The other simply decided to fire on Julian damaging the bot.
Things were looking dicey but Mr E saves the day by using his bot to shock Doc out of his panicked state then redirects the bot towards the Viper binding Eternal, shocking the bitch and making her relinquish her hold. Meanwhile, all this happened as I decided to blast away the Sectoid hiding all the way in the back. Chill at this point grappling hooks towards Eternal's position and shoots the Viper near him, Doc uses his last grenade on the other Viper while Julian moves in to assist but misses his shot. This gives Eternal a chance to heal himself then slash the Viper next to him with his sword killing it.
Unfortunately, Eternal gets tongue grabbed the second Viper and then bound into another hug. Chill runs to assist but spies a civie contact on sight and rushes over to move them out of there. I try to hit the Viper binding Eternal but my shot went wide as I didn't want to risk hitting my squad-mate. In the end Eternal was saved by SPARKY of all things as he runs up and point blank shoots the snake in the side of the head.
Central calls in stating we wiped them out, time to grab and go. It got messing out there but at least we pulled it through and even killed the Assassin again. Now I know the Chosen are no joke, I'll stay on my toes next time. Signing off.
I just wanted to ask Who is your favourite/most hated Chosen?
Favorite: Hunter, least: Warlock (Hate preachiness) lol
Favourite: Assassin, love her attitude and she is (by far) the easiest to fight and counter. She runs right up to you and all it takes is a Battle Scanner or Scanning Protocol to deal with her. Least favourite is the Warlock due to him being annoying and hiding >.>
Odd - keep in mind the Chosen can show up on horde missions, kitting out for just Lost only for one of the biggies to show up is the worst
Ah Mr.Odd like man on man with Bradford. No judgement here man.
I swear odd be out here living life on recruit difficulty!
The fuck, let me get caught making bad calls & shit strategies grouping troopers together & getting shot at by the chosen id get shot through full cover behind 6 cars, 3 buildings, a Ufo while still on the Avenger in med bay & get critted. Followed by her giving each of us a razor sharp enema as we miss at point blank. 😵
Darth Nexus birdman fan I assume. Let me catch my son watching birdman.
I K R??? Me too I can't make ANY mistakes or the RNG kills everyone instantly...
Do not dare to say Locksley-like to somebody who misses 50% shots..., remember how Locksley could kill a sectopod with one shot from the repeater while still retaining concealement? oh and from like 60 tiles.
33:05 Viper wants to cuddle.
I'm so far behind on these videos, but now I've gotten XCOM 2 and started my own Long War 2 campaign. Watch or play, that is the question.
Thanks for the character pools! It's way better than the stock nobodies. My computer can't handle your season 2/3 list with almost 2000 characters, but can deal with the season 4 list of 1275 or so. I got the rebuilt version of Batch; who I summarily changed from Wardancer to Squadwipe. He's a gunner and he tears it up.
I'm in the exact place you are, except picked XCOM 2 up in November. I'm even stuck using season 4 list due to computer issues. It's a great list, though. I have a solid team.
Long War 2 is the way to go. There are downsides, but I switched right back after trying vanilla for a few missions.
really hope he remembers he can revive the sniper so he doesn't have to CARRY the dude...predicting NO. lol
i would hazard a guess that the 100% melee strike didn't hit because of some soldier bond bonus in play. but that's me thinking in fire emblem terms.
Now watch how the Hunter shows up and you have to fight him with 2 Sharpshooters on a map with lots of obstacles. As a bonus, his adversary will be the Skirmishers (not in the squad) :-D
Oh, that would be a cherry on the top, yes. But I'm not guessing above ...
1. This next mission is the first in his area of control, so he will 100% show up.
2. We know it's an abandoned city map.
2. It's requested by the Skirmishers, so that's another big hint. I could be wrong about this, but it's perfectly logical.
Not sure if you're still lookin for a way of personalising the Spark, but i'd have a story... wouldn't know how to personalize the machine, since PC is too crappy to run Xcom2, but anyways...
Ca3ris
Ca3ris is a sentient AI, subdued by the Elders and forced into servitude across their Network. Beeing capable of emotion, the restraints put into her code, forcing her into servitude for what felt like eons to her took their toll on her sanity and she longed for freedom. Thus her quest for Vengeance began the day a Xcom Specalist made a big mistake in a hacking attempt at an Advent security post... he may have failed to achieve what he wanted... but he released the programming restraining her from beeing free. For a few months she tried damaging and destroying advent from within, but as soon as they realised she had gone rouge on them, Advent locked her out of the systems, trapping her as a disembodied piece of sentient code again. The time she finally had her true freedom back... was after the Extraction of the High Commander when she latched herself to the Implant... hiding in the Avenger ever since, waiting to find a host body to finally finally bring her revenge to Advent. And she now has found one suitable for exactly that...
Any spelling mistakes found may be kept as pets, as... well... uhm... no native to english here... hi ^^"
23:55 gate randomly opens for no reason
i want to see a sass fight with julian and the hunter
You should not take 3 snipers for lost when you don't have that headshot order card - snipers were only good when pistol shots kill them - I'd drop at least 1 of them for a ranger or something.
he'd do FAR better to make sure he takes a Specialist with REVIVE to use on the sniper escort to get them up on their feet as another useable soldier.
So sparks provide high cover to enemies too even from his own shots if he stands next to them lol?
I think that was just a Dodge that failed to say it was a dodge.
24:00 Lol!
Were are the chosen? Those wonderful comments of last campaign?
If you had a squad of all SPARKs, what would the chosen do?
Even more interesting - what if that's against the Warlock? :-D
They would most likely use their guns. The Assassin with her shotgun, Warlock with the assault rifle and the Hunter with his sniper rifle.
Well, not just most likely, of course they'll get the guns out (in addition to spamming reinforcements). But because that's their backup plan, it would be very interesting to see how the battle plays out without them trying to capture or extract knowledge. Don't think I've ever seen them with a plan to just wipe an entire squad.
sniper rifles are lousy at close range the AI should have had him automatically use the pistol...dumb AI as usual.
You really should use Overdrive whenever it's off cooldown. Julian could have taken a shot after launching the rocket.
He also should have shot the Chosen with it instead of taking that second shot to get rid of her cover for all shots after that...
Chris used to play a lot better than this. I still enjoy watching him play, but I miss the old Chris...
I'm so happy, the Hunter is back! He is the best Chosen out of the three!
God fucking damnit, why is this series build up so much suspense only for none of it to pay off. God it’s unsatisfying, ik it’s none of your fault but it grates at my teeth
Try to use the grapple ability on the skirmisher more
You should build a lab later. There is way too many research to be done.
I build one early then by the time you can fully utilize the Shadow Chamber I can usually dismantle it cause most of my research has been done except for 2-3 day breakthroughs.
In total how many mods have you installed
Xcom got xcom'd
Is that Proving Grounds upgrade that raises the Spark's aim a vanilla game thing, or a mod thing? Because they were shit without it, and now they seem playable.
Lincoln Noronha mod. But their aim is generally a lot better on their own since WotC
All SPARKS got a buff to their base aim from vanilla War of the Chosen. The new research projects you see in the Proving Grounds in this vid though are from a mod.
As others have said, it's a mod. More specifically, metal over flesh.
*sees title*
Maybe I'm glad my soldier didn't go out? lol
"somebody asked" lol. Umm, uh....*hides* Well, I mean, With Mr. E out for two weeks I guess going out isn't going to be a problem for a while... XD. Ah, I can't complain too much having a character at all. And I was on that awesome Spark mission.
fleetadmiralj who is your character is
...Admiral...
I would like to point out that you still haven't built new guns for Granadiers and Spark. Plus that one shotgun seems to be no-ones gun because I think you have gone over all (better) rangers.
You should use the Harbinger Rifle
won't be that much use if it has same stats even with the mod slots, he has zero mods and keeps letting loot expire...
I was wondering something, sorry for being so off topic. You use an interesting expression, like you did here "More details never hurt anybody _I don't think_". Now I am fairly sure this is not really a correct order of words strictly speaking (I am not a native speaker so I can be wrong of course), but I was wondering whether this is some Canadian, Quebec, Saskatchewan or simply mr Odd / mr Odd's family expression. It really shouldn't be important or even noteworthy that's why I didn't mention it the past about 25 or more times I heard it but I became increasingly curious as I have never heard it before yet it seems to be one of the favorite expressions. :) I seem to always notice it for some reason 'what a strange expression' I say to myself, pretty much every day nowadays, so I thought I will pause the video this time and will actually ask! :) I appreciate input from both the author or anyone that knows the expression from linguistic perspective or just heard it before.
To be slightly more on topic: are the specs of your Pc public? I have performance problems especially with mods, even though I have far less than you and I went through some optimization guides, as well. I wonder what resolution/cpu/gpu you have that it runs so well. I especially have low fps on geoscape, and delay when tabbing between soldiers. No mod conflicts according to the alternative loader, so it could be just my pc.
What's the time stamp for when he says it? As you point out it could be a colloquialism or an idiomatic phrase but having the context could help to establish whether the "I don't think" relates to the previous utterance ("more details...") or whether it is a separate utterance that is incomplete.
I also feel "I don't think" is wrong in that context, and a similar mistake like saying "I could care less", when you "couldn't care less". Apparently negatives aren't that easy ;) .
I'm running XCOM 2 (not WotC) with quite a few mods on an ancient Athlon II X4, a GTX 680, 12GB RAM and a normal HD (no SSD) and it runs fine, except for one thing that actually made me stop playing. The loading times before and after a mission are getting longer and longer with the campaign up to the point where I spent more time on the loading screens than in base in between the missions. Doesn't have anything to do with the HD either because it's mostly idle.

to have the context, about 10-15 sec later.
It always refers to the first part of the sentence just as I quoted, which is just interesting as I never heard it before. :)
I use a xeon 1240 v2 (basically an i7-3770) w/ 16gb ram and gtx 760 in full hd. Graphical settings basically at medium-low but doesn't make a big difference. Some settings do like disabling AO or low AA, still, the most annoying thing is I can't switch between soldiers quickly like I see people on youtube do. This is worse with the mods. I applied the engine optimizations from different threads and checked mod compatibility / interoperability using the alternative mod launcher as suggested in various threads. Not a dealbreaker but annoying.
Load times do increase, I noticed load times and even the game generally runs worse from hdd so I keep it on an SSD (only got a 240 gig old ssd but I tend to keep the 1-2 games I play mostly, on it). Load times still get worse with time, to be honest end game gets boring I often don't finish games, so meh... ;)
I think that the grammatically correct form of the sentence would be "I don't think more details never hurt anybody". However, verbal communication, particularly informal verbal communication uses non-standard grammatical forms. I'm trying to think of other examples but I've been staring at spreadsheets all day and my brain has gone numb :)
if you roll a 1 in any case you will miss always even at 100%
What is that floating orb around Julian's head?
His unique Gremlin. No matter what you name the Spark, it will have a Gremlin that looks different from the standard model.
They must have changed that in Vanilla WotC cause my spark got hit twice, healed up to full and was still stuck back into the healing slot with 5 damage to be repaired.
100% in xcom is actually 99.9%
Why no mission photo? It's part of what I enjoyed on your previous War of the Chosen playlist.
So will we ever get a ufo landing?
I don't think UFO landings are a thing in WOTC anymore. Unless they get modded in or something.
they happen.
rare though.
Huh, so huntsman is kind of a ladies man (The assassin was all over him, as well as two vipers). I'de say that's certainly unique.
For the sake of consistency could you please play death of the outsider?
Day 4509:
Still no Divinity walkthrough from ChristopherOdd
Xcom 100% shots =/= Actual 100%
Just Xcom things, nothing new
Funny how you called the mutant out and called him galant when he overwatched for 2 turns when your whole team did barely move and overwatch for 3 turns =)
I know that this has become a pet peeve for me...
It might not bother so much if there was a 'J' ANYWHERE in his name.
but why BJ?
Is it a skill that Blazkiwitz has? Or does Mr Odd not know what BJ traditionally stands for?
The initials for BillyTerror would be BT.
Is this a private joke, or genuine stupidity?
Is it some weird sexual thing?
Is it part of the (equally weird) mis-gendering thing?
It bothers me.
Please stop!
Just defentsive play...no likes from me
Well Oddy your hunkey babys have a guardian angel or something ;)
