XCOM 2

So there's a building, My guy is one side of the building, no windows, about 3 squares from the corner, the alien guy is on the other side of the building, about 5 squares from the corner. Another of my guys follows him round the corner. Fires, the dude survives (1hp of course). I'm expecting him to return fire at the guy on the corner. Instead he fires at the wall next to him, goes through that wall, through the building, through the other wall. Hits my other guy.

I might have been able to shoot him from my end but I didn't check because I had to kill someone else who was flanking him. Regardless of that, it indicated my guy was in full cover so he can't have been flanked by the guy on the other side of the building. It's most likely a visual bug where the walls had damage that wasn't shown or something.

In all its greatness - cuz it is by all means a superb game - it has its flaws and bugs.
You might just have encountered one.

My personal experience is free of these kind of things, luckily. Up until now that is. Might change in any given upcoming mission.

[Butan]

I've had instances like that but benefiting me. Mostly long-overwatch with sharpshooter which triggered through whole towers, buildings, etc...
There must be some glitches in the maps, but its hard to tell if you're not AI.

Oh wow, wtf. Yeah that's definitely wrong. Never had anything like that myself.

Anyone here believe succesful hack increases hacker's stat by 5 permenantly?

[Molly]

I so gonna download and create Bob Ross! 

Edit:
I have a problem.
I'm stuck in a capture/kill mission and my EVAC timer is down to 5 rounds which is unbeatable for me. No matter which moves I make, it seems to be impossible to do it.
What happens when I ignore the VIP and go straight for extraction, so I can at least keep my squad alive?

[Araxiel]

Yes i believe you keep your soldiers alive but fail the mission.

[Molly]

Seems like valid tactic to me atm.
Maybe I even get a chance to simply blow him up along the way.

So far tried 4-5 times legendary ironman, and wiped each time before one month passed

Commander ironman feels great. Making mistakes, but I can recover.

Is it really that hard? Watching a youtuber playing on legendary ironman and he is doing alright.

[Butan]

I think I dont know how to properly exploit some crucial game mechanics. My experience so far is extremely low panick trigger threshold, as soon as one guy dies there is at least one other who will do some crazy crazy stunt and dies or become useless, and when you have only 4 guys with low HP at the beginning against groups of 3-4 enemies (usually two on you at one time except if really lucky) it usually means death for me, or at least mission aborted.

I believe I need to abort earlier and avoid casualties, building up a good team via kills instead of going for the objective at all cost. A good team which will then let me complete missions after the first few hard ones with rookies/squaddies.
