I would suggest you do all the beginning missions stealthy as possible. Leave the camera and veterinarian missions last since those missions will actively force u take a fight against xenos and a crusher. That will be enough xp for you to then lvl up a good amount

Humble piece of advice for the rookies here: use the pause button A LOT. At first I was swayed by the tought that this is an RTS game, so I went along with the flux of the events in real time and found myself swamped or swarmed constantly. Until I realized that I can pause the game every time I wanted. Enter a large room? Stop and check. Someone spot a xeno? Stop and check. Massive onslaught coming? Stop and study your surroundings to set up defenses. I use it even multiple times during the same fight to better decide squad movements and best abilities.

@danham8356 0 seconds ago Quick question are all 13 missions on same planet? How bad is the infestation bar when days pass by? As I see every level has fixed bars. Reason I am asking is, if the death lock won’t activate till mission 6, it might be worth exploring the right RNG and go to otago often to keep all marines in health state while doing small bites of progress. Is this a good strategy? Or will this cause the ingestion to go nuts if the whole game is on same planet (I.e same infestation level will keep increasing and not reset)?
@MistaFiOth
@MistaFiOth Жыл бұрын
Every ten days the Infestation Level is increased by one. On very rare occasions you can lower it via a Daily Event, or you can use late-game research to do so. It caps at Lvl 5. All Missions are affected by the same meter.

Tehnically, there is "manual" save when deployed but only if you have enough tools (at least one for single door safe rooms). Whenever you weld yourself into a safe room (preferably with one door), after resting, the game will save the progress. RNG with marine's skill is bad feature imo. Anyone who's familiar with the military knows that you get skilled through training and according to your abilities - not some random lottery. You cant be a sniper if you cant shoot for shit or do your math correctly. We players ought to be given freedom to develop our characters as we like, not what some RNG gives us. Also, because we cannot manually control individual marines, this game desperately needs formation rotation feature i.e. by clicking a button that we can rotate charaters how they are placed (clockwise for example). Many times I've raised alarm because I was spotted and my recon sniper could not get a silenced shot at an alien in time - most of time, you need to have your entire team exposed for sniper to have a line of sight. Selecting and controling the tecker drone should be simplified i.e. to automatically select drone and switch to controlling it and its skills by clicking on drone icon on the left side of screen.

Inquiry FiOth, once an Upgrade for a class is unlocked IF the unfortante RNG occurs and that Marine KIA when you get the replacement. Do you need to retrain the replacement marine to unlock upgrades and their Actual Level, & Class Level again?(That's going to become annoying if so, X-Com did that and that was the one aspect I could Not stand after awhile of Sh-t RNG moments.) Also From the stream I Didn't see the ability to control a single marine manually was that not a function? IF not that makes the game lose some tactical advantages for the player, such as kiting and baiting targets for ambushes, in that case it's more like how civilization would force the player to control groups of infantry instead of single units and that could have moments where it will not end well.
@MistaFiOth
@MistaFiOth Жыл бұрын
Let's unpack this. If a Marine dies, you can use another one of your recruits, but you have to level them up again, individually, to reach the point your OG was at. That is, IF you get the exact same upgrade path with your Commons, which become available randomly with each Level-Up. You cannot control each Marine individually. The whole Squad is controlled as a single entity. In 95% of the game, this is fine. There are few moments where full control would have benefited the game, though.

@@UnsaltedCashew38 heavily scripted, linear games are the ones you are referring to. If a game is more open-ended or emergent, you can't have everything tailored. I agree, there are difficulty spikes, but consider the player base's background. How many of today's gamers have actual experience with the genre?

Hold down the button you use to deploy it down and you can rotate it. On xbox it's the A button for example.

@@MistaFiOth it wasn’t even meant in the negative way it might have sounded. Sorry for that. Some games require such behavior (save&reload cycles) as RNG elements are too punishing. It’s more a game design critique, shouldn’t be a personal attack. Reading my comment a second time I can see that it could easily be interpreted as such. Apologies for that.

You can force the game to save by making safe zones and resting. It's not a traditional system though, and saves will overwrite themselves as you progress.

I played through the game and the camera is awful. it won't properly center on the team so you can literally have them walk out of frame and you can't move the camera to follow. I was playing last night and whatever glitch was going on in game with the camera it wouldn't center, when you would press "home" and some areas of the map they would walk right off camera and you couldn't get them back unless you sent them where the camera was. After twenty minutes of this, I Exited the game and restarted. It was a little better but the camera controls are buggy as hell and it ruins the game when you can't move around their map in areas you should be able to explore. I'm disappointed and strongly considering asking for a refund. This game is seriously broken.

There are bugs, true. But the game at its core is good. I agree that the paying customer has the rights to a functional product. I'd wait for a bit though. It has issues, but it's not a train wreck. Give Tindalos a chance to fix it.
