Bottom post of the previous page:

I could start seeding people into my game and give you guys reports if you want.

So far I have two star soldiers:

#1) MACHO MAN Randy Savage looking dude who joined randomly wearing aviators with a handlebar mustache and a faux hawk. AMERICAN PATRIOT WARRIOR. I thought he would be fucking useless but at least worth a laugh, but he bro'ed out of control and gunned down two sectoids and a random ADVENT trooper during different overwatch setups during really clutch moments. Currently wounded.

#2) Tumblr-ite girl. She wears nerd glasses and has an undercut. Looks like she posts SJW shit all day long when she isn't fighting aliums. Probably has a blog dedicated to their different gender identities. She also has a gigantic fucking sniper rifle and is really fucking good with it. Also kills a lot of assholes during overwatch no fucks given. Has the highest killcount by a wide margin of the squad already. Also has the most followers and reblogs of anyone on the squad. Is Australian, for some reason.

I've had very few missions so far where I can say I've all soldiers walk away, let alone unharmed past 'gravely wounded'.

My first real mission past the initial story missions involved 3 of the 4 units getting blown up by a semi after it was double-tapped by missed gunshots. I still won that, only because the ADVENT troops somehow missed two consecutive flank shots on someone with 2HP left.

This fucking game I don't even know.

Half of the time missions are timed, as for the doomsday clock you can do certain shit to reduce it. I read that taking out bases can sometimes even reset the clock, other than that to anyone that whines about timers go play on easy and git gud. I'm playing on Normal and I find only 2/3rds of my peeps wounded, but that's mainly because my best squad got wounded and I trained about of rookies with beginner equipment on when taking out an outpost.
My best guy is a scout and he's running around with a ski mask on chopping people. He has move up bonus and all he's doing is chopping xenos up like meat.

Playing on normal!? Do you need Bradford to hold your hand so you won't get lost and scared?

Playing in commander, because fuck yes to spend five minutes making snowflake speshul soldiers, just to lose them, because a lance asshole knocked him out.

Also, while the chance is low, if you get a repeater, USE IT.
A rookie saved the team in one mission by instakilling lancers and sectoids like no one's business.

I had a south African woman singlehandedly drag three unconcious soldiers to evac (Fuck lancers) and take out three ADVENT patrols by herself - Inlcuding one mech.

She the real MVP, but sadly got captured next mission because evac timer ran out. RIP in piss 'Boss Lady'.

holy shit, mutons are now hardcore.
Far away? They shoot and kill someone.
Medium range? They launch a grenade and kill someone (not really, but its buddies don't waste the chance)
Short range? They shoot someone dead, or decide to use melee for good measure, and hopefully, you won't do the same.

Nothing you don't fix by blowing them to hell, but I don't remember them being so nasty in EW

Snipers are legit the most broken shit ever in Xcom 2 like EW. They get a better version of In The Zone and also this other power that makes a kill zone that makes them fire on ANYTHING that moves or takes any action in the AOE. They also have 6 shots, so they're fucking machineguns.

It's funny how all the other soldiers are rotating due to wounds or worse, but I really have only one sniper. One cold motherfucker who kills in every pod, sometimes the entire pod, and since aim is king, I gave him tracer ammo, aim implants, improved scope and now he butchers even archons as long as the height and distance are good enough.

Oh yeah if he kills while in superior height, he gets a minor action back, so either he gets to reload, or to move to a better position, so much for Firaxis claiming they nerfed them, reducing their aim and crit in squadsight has barely kept them away from being pure cheese, like in EU.

Also, melee bullshit? KILLZONE.

Beaglerush or christopherodd

Beaglerush plays always on maximum difficulty, then mods it, so there are more and tougher enemies, and then enables ironman, because reloading is for pansies.

He won some ironman impossible campaigns in long war.

I wish I had recorder that, it was hilarious.

Fun Fact - The Arc Blade can stun.

The stun can also trigger on bladestorm.

There is nothing quite as satisifying as stunlocking a berserker who charged at you, and then sword-ing it to death.

I restarted my game and I found myself enjoying it a lot more.

Mainly this time around I'm taking my time with my turns, as well as making good usage of support items. Before hand I was rushing to make moves and thus I made bad mistakes that kept biting me in the ass later on, even something as simple as missing a good piece of hard cover can be critical.

Flashbangs and Battle Scanners are worth your supplies I've found, I like to take two FBangs early game as they can reliably shut down a alien pod and kill Sectoid's ability to do mind control shenanigans.

Also I've found a Ranger with the ability to remain in concealment after being revealed is a very powerful ability, my VIP rescue missions (especially the one's where you start with the VIP in tow) are a lot easier when I can scout out enemy pods and take shots with my Sniper before contact.

Building up the /tg/station pool of characters.
I need actual information about you fuckers to put you in the game though. Describe yourselves a little and give me some color choices for you or else you're just getting the generic shitcurity colors.

Download the /tg/station character pool here

So far it's just Maccus and I. I'll continue to update the file as I add more people to it.

Okay, you're in.

Massive, massive update.

*Added a fucking ton of people. Seriously. I plundered the "What do you look like thread" and took a few requests via PM. Added some random people I thought on-topic. Enjoy.

Current total is 25 random /tg/station people.

I picked people to have specific attitudes and roles on the team, but depending on when you recruit someone they may come up kinda randomly.

Until your game advances to a state where you are hiring on new soldiers that come with a few free ranks the cast is going to be a little random.
eg. I just tested the game and it gave me Cuban Pete in my opening mission. While he's supposed to be a grenadier (because DUH) the game promoted him into a Sharpshooter for some reason instead. Dammit.
If you want to go hardcore /tg/station only modo:
How to use custom and imported characters in XCOM 2
By default, the game will give you both random characters and the ones you’ve made. If you want to exclude either, this is what you should do :
Go to C:\Users\your-username\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config
Use Notepad to open XComGameData.ini (make a backup copy first!)
Find the lines with InitialSoldiersCharacterPoolSelectionMode and RewardUnitCharacterPoolSelectionMode
You can now change their values to one of three options:
eCPSM_Mixed is the default, which uses both random chars and your pools
eCPSM_RandomOnly will force it to ignore your pools and use only random characters
eCPSM_PoolOnly will make the game give you only soldiers and VIPs from your pools
Save the changes made to the file

You can use an apostrophe when pluralizing an abbreviation if it makes it more readable.

Get rekt.

Also Bryce Pax needs to be in the /tg/ pool, post a description.

I did not, but I will.

There's no beret, for some reason. I'll give him some kind of hat instead.

EDIT: Remembered what Bryce Pax looked like. How the fuck could I ever forget. Repressed memory is a helluva thing, huh? Added him and Caleb to the file and reuploaded it. Roster stands at like 27 people now IIRC. Did not end up giving Caleb a hat because they're all fucking stupid.

In case you were wondering just click the three dots in the upper right corner and pick "download". It's 2016 though if you don't know how to use Dropbox by now what the fuck is wrong with you?

I just realised I missed an opportunity to call myself "Punished Anus". Will correct that and reupload tonight.

We still need more "volunteers" to make a game that is purely /tg/ people. If you haven't submitted yourself, do it! If you can think of anyone who isn't already in (either a person or their in-game character) post 'em!

Let your imagination run wild

Add HG as an old woman, add a guy named Scaredof Shadows and make him as hairy as possible to showcase his werewolf lineage. Add a pink haired dante smith

Actually did that already. She has the classic squaddie/Guile haircut.

I'll add some of those other suggestions though.

As far as workshop accessories go I'm loathe to use them because it may render the pool unusable by anyone who doesn't have the same mods.

Some of them have been embellished to look cooler. Some of them are just generic shitcurity looking people. It's a random lottery to see if you can draft some of the "special" characters, I guess. We got some greyshits in there, a clown, a botanist...

If anyone starts playing the game and posting screenshots of it as they go you'll get to see some of them. Otherwise it's too much time to go through and screenshot each one.

EDIT: Rootie tootie there's been an updootie.
