@@MrJinglejanglejingle I still dont understand why did they decide to not carry over MELD mechanic from EW. It was a near perfect solution for pretty much the same problem they tried to solve (which was overly defensive/ cautious playstyles being way too powerful) that couldve been built upon even further, but instead the decided to go with some arbitrary instant fail timers that in context make no sense haf the time. Oh its a secret mission to retrieve ADVENT data? Better be quick because despite not knowing that youre coming aliens put a timed bomb on the computer anyway lol.
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.

Yup. And it’s ok for the vets to laugh and giggle. Because any xcom vet knows this feeling where literally nothing goes right and everyone’s gonna die. 😂 especially that car exploding moment you’re just minding your business and something blows up on the other side of the map that somehow screws you over for the next hour and a half.
but why the player didnt place the soldiers up in the windows of the buildings? it give a flat 20% bonus chance to hit alone. You would miss alot less this way. I always when play xcom and xcom2 try to place my soldiers on higher elevation that the enemy.
Lower difficulty makes higher shot percents even higher the higher it is, like 95 would scale up to like 99 and 75 would go up to like 76. Higher difficulties you get what you see

That's only because your brain registers every occurrence of a 95% missing twice in a row instead of all the hits. So you're biased to only remember the misses and not the countless times that you have hit.
@@Kurppalumppu the amount of lucky 20-, 30-% and unlikely overwatch ive landed its too damn high, still i trigger when i fail anything at 80+% or higher
I have an x-com 2 ( with the dlc ) save closing in on the final tasks right now and there is a reason I tend to run rangers, swords and shotguns from 1-2 tiles away generally don't miss unless the enemy have a native 20-30 % dodge or is in cover. Also never bring grenadiers to lost missions EVER.....I have way to many close calls with "accidental" explosions I would have wanted to avoid in an area where enemies are sensitive to sound.
I mean, he did not play exactly optimally here to minimize RNG risks lol. Notice how he gets 3 hits in a row when he finally puts someone on high ground where you get a +20% accuracy bonus
Skill and experience are needed to play around the uncertainty of battle. The enemy has the same (actually worse) modifiers as you. Xcom is a hard game. And it's skillbased. Try playing on Legend without tactics and just rely on RNG... that will go great for you, right?
I discovered that my least favorite number is 94... I found this out when i took tallies of all the missed shots i had during an entire playthrough, and my 94% shots missed 80% of the time!
I can't remember if it was EU or 2 I remember that lower % shots hit more than higher. If you don't need it to hit, it will. Also, lower ranks miss more with the same %s as compared to higher ranking units

My winning shot in EU was a 95% shot on an Elder. Miss. Save scummed and repositioned to take a 44% shot instead. That hit. Welcome to XCOM where the aim is made up and the shots don't matter.
Its funny how XCOM2 literally made me realize that squad based tactics are garbage if you need to rely on explosions to deal most of your dmg if the aiming system exists simply to make you judge statistical math and probability.
Thats why i dont play games like this they usually have a decent story but the gameplay is either amazing or complete bullshit and which it is changes every second.
@@skarletfenrir6979 first, the game version from the video is heavily modded, so any of the mods could very well mess up with actual hit chances. Second, the guy plays super dumb, he does not even check what he shooting and at what chance, and each time surprised he kills a boomer (modded enemy btw). Regarding "complete bullshit", this game is 100% tactical, and RNG actually plays very little role. Because if success, or death of a soldier gets decided by 1 bad roll, you made many mistakes long before that role. Also, most of the abilities, especially defensive ones, are pretty much there to correct your mistakes or bad rolls. Healing is for example is exactly sad. Grenades and attachments and abilities are for those low % chances. This game only fucks you up with RNG if you allow it.
@@SwordWieldingDuck missing when i have a 100% chance to hit is bullshit and its happened way to many times. I have hit more shots in this game that are below 75% than above 90% that is bullshit rng. Yes its tactical but i have had the perfect plan way to many times and still lost because every shot somehow misses.
@@SwordWieldingDuckas a vet who loves the game and who has multiple legendary play throughs, bull-fucking-shit. You can do everything right and be fucked over by missing multiple 95s. Your only salvation is late-game when everyone is a colonel with Chosen gear and you forget there’s a chance to hit and start screaming about not criting instead.
When I used a melee to finish off the snek king it gave me the achievement the moment I pressed the button, despite the fact that the initial move didn't kill. Everything is rolled the moment you press the button, so those soldiers decided the moment you pressed the button to miss
Fighting against the Lost feels like you're playing a turn based Left 4 Dead. Every once in a while, while you're trying to deal with shit, more shit happens almost without breaks.
Bro this is legit the main reason why I full on stopped playing XCOM all together the amount of times I had to save and restart missions because none of the units would hit anything despite having near enough 100% aim or being 1 or 2 tiles away from the enemy I did manage to get back into it for a couple days later down the line but had to shove a series of cheats in to actually make it playable
Because it’s true random, unlike most percent chance games where the odds are weighted in the player’s favour. So there’s no rounding up, no rerolls, no hidden bonuses, just raw numbers. And raw numbers don’t care how many times in a row something has gone wrong for you, they’ll be just as harsh each time.
I downloaded the XCOM 2: Complete Collection for Android. Curiously, my wife and daughter's tablets were found snapped in two, a short time after. Weird.
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
I've been playing LWOTC recently and am routinely missing every shot. I can't help but feel that the actual numbers are much lower than what they tell us just to add a slight difficulty curve.
As a experienced X-Com 2 WOTC player, I can confirm, that X-Com 2 early game combined with the Lost from WOTC is a VERY quick way to achieve the mental status of total madness
These boys could go up to an enemy with a goddamn sword and not only miss, not only try and heal them like a moron, but fail at healing them, ironically doing damage. Fucking XCOM. Pain-peko
Don’t feel bad, ADVENT and today in my experience, The Hunter, *ON LEGEND,* managed to “miss,” a grenade throw in between three of my guys. 🤣😂 Last time I saw that happen was in the legacy ops 😂
My biggest regret in life was buying xcom 2 and its dlc for 30 bucks in store, that was 20 bucks cheaper then normal, couldn't get the dlc to work, then, played for a few days, found that the game is filled with rng, then shelfed it for 2 years, bought it for digital for 5 to 10 bucks, got dlc working, found the game was still rng hell even with dlc, then deleted it, and finally went to sleep knowing I wasted 35 bucks on a game twice, that I'll most likely never play again
This is why Rangers, Skirmishers, Templars, and (Normally) Sharpshooters are good to bring on Lost missions because the Pistols, Shotgun, and Bullpup get an aim bonus at close range, usually being at 100% if you're close enough, and will usually do enough damage to kill a Lost in one shot. And since pistols never need to be reloaded you can usually pick off weak hordes without needing to reload. This, however, is a clusterfuck.
if I see there's a 92 percent chance of hitting a target I know there's a 50/50 chance of missing the shot. That's what 92 percent chance of hitting means.
this is why i edited each character stats to have 100% normal accuracy (the default is 65% for some reason). so the only way you can miss shot is bad positioning or having status ailments. that way, the game become a problem solving game, not a luck (gacha) game.
I'm a civilian in XCOM. I have a 99% chance to make it to the store today, so expect the police to find my car in a ravine.
Best comment that could be posted on an XCOM video. Well done.
wait till you learn that at least in XCOM EU chances used to get rounded up, meaning 99,5%=100% so you could actually miss a 100% shot 5 in 1000 times

Welcome to XCOM where the aim is made up and the shots don't matter.
This made me want to play xcom 2 again. Thanks for the laughs from the video, and the rage from the game.
This reminds me of a game grumps animated short called "missed" . Pretty much sums up this video :D
Love the streams and cant wait for a time when uploads are consistent
Your awesome editor doing an amazing job as always. This is hilarious!
High ground is like a cheat code on these long untimed lost missions
I felt that 95% miss. In my soul. It hurt. It hurt bad.
*”Oh my god how many can you fucking miss”*
Said every XCOM Player in existence.
Libido Excitement continues to build Libido
I can feel your pain of the “95%? How could I miss!” To the miss EVERYTHING. It costed me a mouse tryna play xcom
Its funny how XCOM2 literally made me realize that squad based tactics are garbage if you need to rely on explosions to deal most of your dmg if the aiming system exists simply to make you judge statistical math and probability.
X COM be like: " We miss a lot. But they miss as well! "
Drink every time Admiral _'daddy issues'_ says the word "BOOMER"
Xcom is the only game that can traumatize you so hard that you have to cross your fingers and hope your grenade doesn't somehow miss.
when my soldier missed a 100% shot i threw it out. I like the story, but the against-you rng of the player shots is just so terrible.
Thats why i dont play games like this they usually have a decent story but the gameplay is either amazing or complete bullshit and which it is changes every second.
@@skarletfenrir6979 first, the game version from the video is heavily modded, so any of the mods could very well mess up with actual hit chances. Second, the guy plays super dumb, he does not even check what he shooting and at what chance, and each time surprised he kills a boomer (modded enemy btw).
Regarding "complete bullshit", this game is 100% tactical, and RNG actually plays very little role. Because if success, or death of a soldier gets decided by 1 bad roll, you made many mistakes long before that role. Also, most of the abilities, especially defensive ones, are pretty much there to correct your mistakes or bad rolls. Healing is for example is exactly sad. Grenades and attachments and abilities are for those low % chances.
This game only fucks you up with RNG if you allow it.
@@SwordWieldingDuck missing when i have a 100% chance to hit is bullshit and its happened way to many times. I have hit more shots in this game that are below 75% than above 90% that is bullshit rng. Yes its tactical but i have had the perfect plan way to many times and still lost because every shot somehow misses.
@@SwordWieldingDuckas a vet who loves the game and who has multiple legendary play throughs, bull-fucking-shit. You can do everything right and be fucked over by missing multiple 95s. Your only salvation is late-game when everyone is a colonel with Chosen gear and you forget there’s a chance to hit and start screaming about not criting instead.
When I used a melee to finish off the snek king it gave me the achievement the moment I pressed the button, despite the fact that the initial move didn't kill. Everything is rolled the moment you press the button, so those soldiers decided the moment you pressed the button to miss
This game bulls bs like that all the time...
Fighting against the Lost feels like you're playing a turn based Left 4 Dead. Every once in a while, while you're trying to deal with shit, more shit happens almost without breaks.
Every comment was absolutely on point. I was cracking up in pain with you my fellow xcom brother.
Someone please make a voice pack for war of the chosen from this video
Bro this is legit the main reason why I full on stopped playing XCOM all together the amount of times I had to save and restart missions because none of the units would hit anything despite having near enough 100% aim or being 1 or 2 tiles away from the enemy I did manage to get back into it for a couple days later down the line but had to shove a series of cheats in to actually make it playable
Bahroo and the editor are back! Missed y'all. Also as someone who has never played xcom I have no idea why every one is missing shots
Literally just really unlucky. Sometines the characters had 95% chance to hit and they still rolled the 5% to miss
Because it’s true random, unlike most percent chance games where the odds are weighted in the player’s favour. So there’s no rounding up, no rerolls, no hidden bonuses, just raw numbers.
And raw numbers don’t care how many times in a row something has gone wrong for you, they’ll be just as harsh each time.
I downloaded the XCOM 2: Complete Collection for Android.
Curiously, my wife and daughter's tablets were found snapped in two, a short time after.
Weird.
if bahroo was doin the fitness challenge where everz time he misses he does a sit up or something he would literally fall dead
Xcom wouldn't dare take advantage of our innate gullibiltiy.
Only game where savescumming is considered a fair strategy
I can slowly feel my XCOM Nightmares coming back while wathing this..
This video is not helping me as I was already irrationally angry at everything today, this is topping it off
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
I've been playing LWOTC recently and am routinely missing every shot. I can't help but feel that the actual numbers are much lower than what they tell us just to add a slight difficulty curve.
This. This is why I set backup plans for WHEN 90% shots miss.
I still remember that time when one of my soldiers missed two 98% shots IN A ROW.
*watches all the misses and the anger rising*
Me: First time?
Being honest this was just the walking dead but no one could hit their shots
As a experienced X-Com 2 WOTC player, I can confirm, that X-Com 2 early game combined with the Lost from WOTC is a VERY quick way to achieve the mental status of total madness
These boys could go up to an enemy with a goddamn sword and not only miss, not only try and heal them like a moron, but fail at healing them, ironically doing damage. Fucking XCOM.
Pain-peko
Annnnnd he's gone again.
*RIP*
Twas nice while it lasted
I have been watching xcom 2 videos this past weeks and this was the KING!!! ROFLMAO!!
I watched this tragedy live and Im glad its been immortalized on youtube for future generations lol
I don't know what the bigger achievement is: Missing that many shots, or only losing one soldier through all of that.
Don’t feel bad, ADVENT and today in my experience, The Hunter, *ON LEGEND,* managed to “miss,” a grenade throw in between three of my guys. 🤣😂 Last time I saw that happen was in the legacy ops 😂
If this wasn't such an enraging scenario, I imagine that this would actually be a really cool scene in a movie. Without all the missing...
this.....this was just painfull....
#happy Bahroo is back
My biggest regret in life was buying xcom 2 and its dlc for 30 bucks in store, that was 20 bucks cheaper then normal, couldn't get the dlc to work, then, played for a few days, found that the game is filled with rng, then shelfed it for 2 years, bought it for digital for 5 to 10 bucks, got dlc working, found the game was still rng hell even with dlc, then deleted it, and finally went to sleep knowing I wasted 35 bucks on a game twice, that I'll most likely never play again
Thank you editor!
4:05
At that point they're intentionally missing. The soldier aimed and then was like, "whoops! Sorry commander, I had something in my lense."
I stopped playing xcom 2 when I realized 90% chance was actually 50% and it ruined the game for me.
This is why Rangers, Skirmishers, Templars, and (Normally) Sharpshooters are good to bring on Lost missions because the Pistols, Shotgun, and Bullpup get an aim bonus at close range, usually being at 100% if you're close enough, and will usually do enough damage to kill a Lost in one shot. And since pistols never need to be reloaded you can usually pick off weak hordes without needing to reload.
This, however, is a clusterfuck.
Where have you gone
is this the stormtrooper episode where all the zombies has gained plot armour
if I see there's a 92 percent chance of hitting a target I know there's a 50/50 chance of missing the shot. That's what 92 percent chance of hitting means.
this is why i edited each character stats to have 100% normal accuracy (the default is 65% for some reason). so the only way you can miss shot is bad positioning or having status ailments. that way, the game become a problem solving game, not a luck (gacha) game.
a lesson in dealing in absolutes! absolute bullshit that is
never have i had a such a terrible mission
They say you miss all the shots you don't take in life, but in XCOM, you miss the shots you take as well lol.
