Q: How to review a video fragment in XCOM2

Minor ThreatI accidentally pressed a mouse button during a plot video fragment. At the moment I was interested in some different activity, but after some time passed I'd like review it. Is there a collection of plot videos somewhere inside commander's computer interface? I haven't found one.

 
THAT WASN'T A MISS
I CLEARLY SAW SOME OF THOSE BULLETS HIT
WHY ZEUS WHY
 
TEAM WIPQOZN ASKS THE REFEREE FOR A RECOUNT
 
Super Bowl commercials are strange
 
SJAIDUJASDIOUJ
I DSIDN'T NOTICE THAT WAS ONE TIL OUT OF RANGE
man, fuck this game
There we go, better
 
12:09 AM
BRONCOS
 
@uni now I know to root for the panthers
 
HAVE FUN WITH THAT YOU'RE LOSING
AND JUST GOT OWNED AGAIN
 
Ugh, it's like @Wipqozn is coaching these guys
How's that unsportsmanlike conduct?
 
I always feel so silly when I use a grenade to finish an enemy off with 1HP, but sometimes you just gotta do it
 
As soon as he took his helmet off it was on
 
12:15 AM
Man, looka t @skully, pistoling folks across the map
Man, such immersion
watching all your shoots go through someone
only for it to be all "MISSSSSED"
gotta say, terror missions happen a lot earlier in this one, but they're not always so bad in the early game
FLAWLESS VICTORY
No one was even shot at
 
12:27 AM
Okay, let's try streaming!
 
@uni get your guys in line, face mask totally unnecessary
 
oh, well that's not good
I blew up the ground under aunit
oh fuck grenades
well thisd was a good game
LOL THANKS ALL TIME TO GIVE UP
oaky but seriously, but that
oh wow
this is actually going to be game voe

oops
wrong app

Q: Do we need to build and pay for an item only once

BishoyI've noticed when building some items, that they are available for all soldiers (e.g. the more powerful blades). So is this how it works on XCOM-2? You build an armor type only once and it is available to the entire team? Or is this true only for some of the items to be built?

 
12:34 AM
okay maybe not
oh for fuck sakes
which enemy did I activate by moving 2 tiles forward
 
@Wipqozn you should stream so that your failure is recorded for all time
 
man, it's a good thing the AI doesn't understand that cars explode
here comes back up

Q: How does the lab and the scientists work?

BishoyI've played with workshops and engineers and I now know that I can assign engineers for various benefits. What about scientists? I can't seem to see any control over what they do? Am I missing something or they are business as usual as in xcom previous version, just the count of scientists I own...

 
oh, there's till an enemy somewhere
BUT WHERE
there they are
sure am glad I activated them now
oh no, not mind control
annd done
no deaths
but quite a few wounded
 
@Sterno is up for death soldier duty
 
New game time, @Wipqozn and @Unionhawk on deck
 
are you guys competing on who can lose the fastest and/or kill the most bridge people
I think @Wipqozn is winning
 
I have killed 0 Bridge people
I am also streaming
 
why would I watch the bottom feeder
did you invent a brand new way to efficiently be the worst?

@GodEmperorDune Yeah and also in-game
My ship got shot down and I'm fighting off 129877613492874213 aliens
 
@GodEmperorDune Oh yeah, that's tonight
 
@SaintWacko it's almost halftime
 
1:16 AM
oh vipers, great
annnd @Sterno is dead, one shotted by a viper
and now RL is pancing of course
 
Uh oh, @Unionhawk's the sharpshooter this time
 
> and now RL is prancing of course
 
That is how I choose to interpret that
 
@GodEmperorDune I actually just saw that.
 
1:19 AM
well one stun lancer down
1 viper + 2 tun lancers is a terrible combination
 
I'm waiting for the Pokemon commercial.
 
oh,
for fuck sakes
viper bounds me, which then activates another pack of enemies

Q: Changed Minecraft account name & now it says I'm not who I am

KippyCakeGirlI just changed my name and when I got back onto minecraft it said I was using a totally different account. How can I change this back?

 
man
I ahte it when the game just decides "yeah, you're not winning this, go fuck yourself"
 
…I'm like 99% certain the access point in this mission is a first-generation Xbox on some kid's bed
 
1:23 AM
yeah, the game just wants me to lose at this ppint
well this was fun
 
Oh screw you hidden civilians
 
@TimStone Huh?
 
but not much you can do during those games where the game just decides to make it impossible to win due to fucking bullshit
 
If it wasn't for that fucking viper
okay no seriously, this is bullshit
a snake bounding someone in the middle of a field should be automatic hit for a sniper
none fo this two misses with 75% bullshit I'm getting
 
1:25 AM
@TimStone Oh, there are missions where you have to hack electronics?
 
Yeah, usually it's more...laptop-y
 
oh wait, flashbangs would gfree him
fuck I forgot about that
 
This is annoying as hell
I did this dark event which supposedly stopped me from getting tracked?
 
you know
 
But I'm still getting tracked
 
1:26 AM
stun lancers aren't too bad if there's just one of them
it's when there's two of them + a viper + sectoid + bullshit that makes it annoying
FINALYL
SOMEONE IS ABLE TO HIT A NON-MOVING OBJECT IN AN OPEN FIELD
 
What the hell am I supposed to do?
 
#wipqoznIsATerribleXcomCommander
 
This UFO is right on my tail
I DID THE EVENT
 
oh my fuck, mind control
there we go

@Frank IS THE HERO WE NEED

Q: Minecraft split screen with xbox live

unknown223I'm having trouble getting 3 players on Minecraft. One player is connecting via Xbox live and 2 players are using the split screen but it will not let me connect the second player even before the second player going via Xbox live gets on.

 
Man this halftime show needs some left shark
 
@MBraedley is up for duty!
 
UFOs are bad news. At least it prompted me to ask another question which will hopefully earn me lots of rep but more importantly help me figure out how to get past this damn impasse
When you run into the UFO you fight a TON of guys in poor visibility. Stun Lancers can easily rush and melee you the same turn you discover them
Bunch of stun lancers + vipers + robutts + ADVENT troopers = bad time
 
@Unionhawk pulled off an impressive overwatch kill with the pistol claps
 
1:39 AM
Great, now @Unionhawk is stealing jokes from my stream (clearly I am the only person to have made that joke before)
 
Which one, Overwatch the Blizzard game, or Overwatch the CS:GO croudsourced justice system?
 
Overwatch the Blizzard game with a dumb logo
What is it even supposed to be? Two Robot hands high-fiving one another?!
 
@Wipqozn 'Bout time I got drafted
 
@MBraedley You wield a portable giant machine gun and a grenade launcher
 
1:42 AM
@Wipqozn Awesome
 
@twobugs Actually, that image was from a reddit thread about what the hell the logo is supposed to be
 
Why can't the evac zone just be where I'm standing right now?
 
@twobugs It actually looks like the letters O and W overlaid
 
YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND!
 
Now that I'm in the game proper and not easy peasy tutorial missions, there hasn't been a single mission that I've completed on my first try.
 
1:44 AM
@StrixVaria good thing you're not doing ironman
 
Some shit happens that I didn't expect and then my squad gets eviscerated.
 
well, I really can't do another mission tonight, so I'll save this for tomorrow
 
@PrivatePansy Oh, I guess I see that. I think having the "W" split in the middle is silly
 
Squad is extracting a VIP. Squad is: @fredley, @John, @MBraedley, @Frank, and RL friend
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU
 
@twobugs It's two robot hands praying to the overwatching light god, of course
 
1:46 AM
RIP @fredley @John @MBraedley @Frank and @RLFriend

@Unionhawk Probably, yeah

Q: How can I avoid getting chased down by an enemy UFO?

two bugsI've been expanding my influence in XCOM 2, but I'm still very early on in the game so my characters are not very powerful nor do I have high end gear. I've attempted the battle that occurs when you encounter the UFO, but it's absolutely brutal at this point in the game. I tried reloading a few t...

 
2016-2016
 
@Unionhawk Don't say that!
 
It's annoying you can't set them to only shoot during overwatch when the melee enemy is closer
 
1:48 AM
@Wipqozn Didn't you just say you didn't have time for another mission? <_<
 
Two shotgun welding assault class wasted because they can't wait for a melee enemy to get close
 
So my quick review of the Superbowl halftime show: Coldplay was okay, but the dance-off between Beyonce and Bruno Mars was pretty good.
 
@Fluttershy yeah, but tomorrow. best of luck tomorrow.
 
@Wipqozn So did I survive?
 
1:56 AM
@MBraedley You have yet to die, but that may changed toimorrow afternoon
 
Oh, so the VIP extraction happens tomorrow?
 
@MBraedley Yes
 
I WILL NOT FAIL YOU!
 
XCOM2, or sleep since I know my son will be up a lot tonight?
I think you all know the answer
 
@MBraedley last year's was better
@Sterno xcom2, obvi
 
2:00 AM
@GodEmperorDune I skipped over last years, since Katy Perry didn't interest me. Although if I had known about left shark beforehand...
 
FYI for those who haven't restarted the campaign a dozen times, starting continent appears to be random
 
@Sterno How is your son doing?
 
He's mostly okay it seems
High fever and has to do some breathing treatments, but he's home and mostly happy
 
I don't understand how people play this game without reloading.
 
@StrixVaria I got better around campaign 8
 
2:01 AM
@StrixVaria Stop save scumming
 
@MBraedley No.
 
There are two important things to remember:
1) You can win even if people die.
2) You can run away if it's not worth winning.
That said, early on, you may as well restart instead
 
@Yuuki just aired Pokemon commercial
 
A snake dude pulled and bound my sniper. I was thinking "this is manageable" until 2 turrets then fired on and killed my sniper before I even got an action.
 
It was great
 
2:03 AM
@StrixVaria That's X-COM for you
 
I've also reloaded a few times when I do stuff like click the wrong place, find out something in the map doesn't work like I thought it did ("Oh, the door for the VIP was there? I thought the icon said it was on the other side. Well, shit.")
etc
 
Oh right, you're doing Bronzeman
 
Sectoids scared the shit out of me when I started this game, but now they're my favorite enemy. Even over the 4hp soldiers
 
Ironman at release is for people who like 30 hours campaigns to end in a bug
 
2:05 AM
Cc @Yuuki
 
@Sterno I like when they just spend their turn spawning a zombie, adn then I kill them before the zombie does anything
 
@Wipqozn Indeed. About the only thing I don't want them to do is shoot
Flashbangs make sectoids trivial
 
I always forget I can flashbang'em
I'm usually able to just kill them
 
I use it to break mind control just in case that 95% point blank shot fails
Bonus points if I can get a lancer at the same time
I also started doing better when I learned not to get as close to the enemy as possible thinking it would somehow make me more likely to hit them. I mean, I guess it does, by like 5%. But then they can always flank and kill me if I miss
Nothing like 3 guys on overwatch missing a fucking lancer though
Squadsight is so awesome on untimed missions
 
@Sterno The map my current mission is on has some really awkward terrain that makes firing on the first group of enemies really tough without getting close. After enough tries, I'm sure I'll think of something, though.
 
2:11 AM
@StrixVaria Yeah.
 
Maybe have my armored guy run in and aggro them and then retreat right away.
 
That first tutorial mission where you have to defuse a bomb or whatever... I was embarrassingly bad at that one because I had to get so close.
 
I'm also playing without my star character, since she took 1 hit and was sidelined for 16 days.
 
I love blowing up terrain so much in this game
OH GODDAMNIT
TIL Gremlin attacks can trigger new pods
 
@Sterno I appreciate you learning this for the group
 
2:14 AM
"Oh, yeah, let's use combat protocol to finish off that snake with 1hp. Awesome, dead, and wtf... a robot and 2 lancers? FFFFFUUUUUUUU"
 
Aww, @Wipqozn got injured because apparently you can be overwatched through the floor
 
At least the snake is dead, becasue fuck snakes
but also fuck robots
 
At least I can hack that mec next turn
 
@Sterno If you're not already dead
 
Ashley Nunn got +20 hacking from a street light or whatever
 
2:16 AM
100.00% successful shot percentage even though I'm definitely sure someone missed
 
Oh. Today I also learned MECs shoot rockets
Normally I kill them before they do anything
@TimStone 100% of your successful shots were successful.
Free reload for sniper = best mod
 
I never understood the whole "point blank is 95%" in games like XCOM or Fallout

Q: Does will affect your psi soldiers' attacks in XCOM 2?

DarthPizzaIn XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM: Enemy Within, the success of your psi soldiers psi attacks depended in part on how high their will stat was. In the new XCOM 2, the will stat increases your soldiers' resistance to psi attacks, just like it did in the previous game. However, there is now a new "...

 
"…OH LOOK A BIRD fires"
 
2:27 AM
Wait MECs are bad in xcom2?
 
Terrifying moment where that civilian didn't run and I thought it was Faceless, but the game was just slow
 
Well screw everything about this retaliation mission
Triggered two sectoids, five troopers, and a faceless all at once somehow
 
Cool, taking screenshots with the print screen button gives me a big white rectangle.
Every one of my characters who is not a sniper or rookie is now gravely wounded.

Q: What does the Archon Battle Frenzy buff do?

DarthPizzaThe Archon is the flying enemy unit that replaces the old Floaters from XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within. When you attack and hit the Archon, it gains some kind of buff called Battle Frenzy. What does Battle Frenzy do?

 
Let me know if the Panthers somehow get a miracle and win the Superbowl.
 
Ugh, I should just stop rooting for a team, because it always goes to the opponent
 
Did you only root for the panthers because I said broncos?
 
3:14 AM
This game heard me say Sectoids were easy and gave me 3 at once
 
The game heard me say Fuck Stun Lancers and critical tased half my team to death
 
The streak continues. My hunter got mind controlled and killed my sniper.
 
@Unionhawk I was only cheering for the Panthers because I wanted the Broncos to lose.

Q: Is it OK to ask about the origin of contents of the game in real life?

user135584For example, asking about the identity of real people appearing on the game. Another example is about the existence of a place or any object inside the game in real life. Is that OK? Check this question: Who are really the people in the photo found in the Soviet installation

@Yuuki that looks like EW
 
@GodEmperorDune Because it is, I think.
I was linking that more because of the idea of five people on Overwatch missing shots on what is essentially a giant slow walking alien tank.
 
@Yuuki unless its like D&D where not penetrating armor counts as a miss
 
@GodEmperorDune It isn't because they very visibly miss in the game.
 
@Yuuki i meant more the percentage calculation. there are only 2 animations, hit dead center or miss wildly

I've already had telephone interview, so good stuff there
 
@djsmiley2k Oh then you're sorted.
 
and it's the same guy interviewing
So I get the feeling this is more of a 'formal filling in the boxes' thing
and obvciously checking I have 2 arms and legs etc XD
 
@djsmiley2k I don't think they're allowed to ask that.
 
@djsmiley2k And what if you have a couple less limbs, if you can do the job as well, it should not matter.

Q: Does one need to have progressed in the main story to be able to complete Arkham Knight AR challenges?

QuestionerI am playing Arkham Knight, and I have only played a small amount of the main story. According to saved game selector screen, I have progressed 4%. I haven't picked up any upgrades or new gadgets or any abilities. I decided I was interested in seeing if I could complete some of the AR challenges...

 
11:37 AM
@Arperum I would think for that particular job it would kind of matter a lot
 
@Sterno I still hve nightmares about that. I kept thinking maybe it was over, and then it wasn't, until it was (since everyone died)
@StrixVaria I've got one building right now (cc @Sterno)
 
@GnomeSlice If you can do whatever the job entails just as well without the missing limbs, it should not matter at all.
 
@Sterno Ouch. Just one of them isn't a big deal, but when you've got a group of'em that's nasty.
@skully XCOM 2: What's that? You hate this unit? Well time to hate this unit even more!
 
I would expect a one armed construction worker to not be very efficient

@PrivatePansy FRIDAY FRIDAY GOTTA GET MAGIC ON FRIDAY
 
@Wipqozn Well that's another check on my "Are we in a dystopia" checklist.
 
@Wipqozn Although Rebecca Black is a girl, I would not characterise her as magical in any way
