[@ownedmaxer607]

People in this thread really like waiting in a corner for enemies to charge into their overwatch or just yoloing people with no care for anything. I've never had a massive problem with the timers in vanilla Xcom 2 or WoTC. Why? because I realized that the timers required just some forward thinking to get the job done, both on the tactical layer and the strategy layer (in the form of upgrades). And If you can't, Learn to cut your losses and bounce back. I won't say Xcom 2 isn't frustrating when the RNG and the time crunch, but it isn't insurmountable, it just means you'll take some Ls. I had to take an L yesterday because of a Mini Intel retaliation on my Long War Campaign. The game spawned two pods of one mec and one SuperHeavy mec + troops (one of them had a beserker too) on the map, and even with a lucky hack on a tower resulting in a 2-turn hack of all mecs on the map, all the mecs barely did any damage to their allies with shots and missiles. Add to that, my soldiers missed/grazed high percent shots on the controlled mecs with reinforcements about to drop soon. So you know what I did? Instead of whining about what's unfair, I killed the units closest to my soldiers and haven people and set to evac. Lost the mission, lost one civvie, and had a soldier wounded, BUT I saved the other five and the other 7 soldiers on my squad were fully active. You have to have the forethought of how something is going to go based on information. If your not willing to do that and dance with the game's punches, why are you playing/why did you play a strategy game like this? Also, "Arbitrary instant fail timers that IN CONTEXT make no sense half the time", nice cover for your obvious strawman with the concession of "it makes sense half the time". I retort by asking you to go to the wiki and see that a Guerrilla Operation (using Guerrilla Warfare tactics) is a style that's meant to hit-and-run engagements. the backbone of those engagements being logistical support from other groups. Time as it were; finally, in contrast, It makes no sense in any context for the Military superpower of Advent to have nuggets of critical supplies (like Elerium) dotted on the all the maps for ANY mission, like Meld, BECAUSE THERE'S NO NEED TO DO THAT ANYMORE. They control the world, not you, so they can store the heavy bulk of their resources anywhere they want and surround it with UFOs.

gotta love how proud she sounds for hitting a target at 2 inches away at 3:56 even though her gun's aimed high in the sky, its as if the bullet only travels to unintended places
