XCOM Wikia is copying this page to their own

I've just checked their [[1]] page and it is a pure copy of this page but without mentioning the source. My idea at the moment is to email the wiki administrator and ask him to either remove the material (since it's copyright to this wiki's authors, according to our policy or properly attribute the source. Any more ideas/suggestions? Hobbes 17:34, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

I'd go with that, e-mailing an "either-or" notice. --Xuncu 18:07, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Am I the only one that thinks that this User has been uploading exactly the same pictures shortly after Hobbes uploads them? --Ditto51 18:22, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Game images's copyright is more trickier since the original game artwork belongs to 2K/Firaxis. But when dealing with an original article/page made with info taken from several identified sources there's no question. Hobbes 19:00, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

When you get a minute Hobbes, check your message board on the other site, he appears to have replied to you--Ditto51 18:30, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Yup, he has. He's going to identify the source of the original article. Hobbes 19:00, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Up Close and Personal

What would the new Up Close and Personal ability do when Close Combat Specialist already has the free reaction shot to anyone who moves within 4 squares of the Unit?--Ditto51 09:43, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Allows you to walk next to an alien, shoot and walk back to cover. It's very close to CCS but CCS only applies during the aliens turn where Up Close and Personal works during your turn. Hobbes 10:02, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

That makes sense then--Ditto51 10:45, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Heh, I can see it now: an Assault in Ghost Armor with an Alloy Shotgun, dashing past 3-4 aliens? Niiiiiiiiiice. --Xuncu 16:31, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

What if those 3-4 aliens are all Muton Elites in Overwatch? Remember it's either Up, Close and Personal or Lightning Reflexes ;) Hobbes 17:13, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Downloadable?

Will this be downloadable on consoles or will we have to buy a separate Disc? --Ditto51 12:31, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

"DLC" does imply downloadable. --Xuncu 15:58, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Yeah, I know that, but a lot of the comments on the articles are complaining that they have to buy another disc.--Ditto51 16:06, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

I also read something about buying a disc because of hard drive space issues in consoles. Nothing seems confirmed yet though. Hobbes 16:19, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

True. 47 maps, and finally a language pack (Before, the only two people in the world who didn't sound American were Vahlen and Zhang), on top of all the other new goodies? Yeah, problably another disk for consoles. Though I doubt it'll be a (much) different price than buying it off Steam for PCs. --Xuncu 16:29, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Aha: I'm seeing "Straight-up expansion pack", not "just DLC", with a price tag to match. Console is $10-ish more, but is a Elite and Slingshot bundle. No idea how that works, disk-wise. Last console game I owned that was an "expansion pack" was Sonic and Knuckles. --Xuncu 21:55, 21 August 2013 (EDT)

Steam Achievements

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, Steam has updated achievements for Enemy Within. They can be found here. All of the achievements with 0% achievement percentage are from Enemy Within, presumably. There are things mentioned in there (combat rush, shields, base defense and security, suicide) that haven't been mentioned before, as far as I know. Let your wild speculation run.

Reaper Rounds

Do we know whether this is a foundry project or item because at the moment it sounds more like a Foundry Weapon than anything else--Ditto51 07:53, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

It does sound more like a Foundry project but there's no confirmation of that yet. Hobbes 17:29, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

Demo?

Does anyone know whether or not there will be a public demo before it is released...--Ditto51 15:23, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

No info on that but highly doubtful. There was a lot of stuff that was unintentionally revealed on the game's demo (through the game files) when it came out last year like the Temple Ship final mission. Hobbes 20:07, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

Cost in the UK

Does anyone know how much it is going to cost in England?--Ditto51 15:23, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

Interface Changes

What does this mean? "South America's Bonus "We Have Ways..." Now gives you access to all Autopsy straight away. 12:30, it probably won't give instant Autopsies or interrogations however."

I tried checking the video but the time reference is incorrect. Hobbes 12:56, 24 October 2013 (EDT)

From what i could understand we have ways changes how the autospies work, either you get them all after Xeno-Biology or you get them when you get the corpses themselves without having to click on Research.

It was defiantly within the first twenty five minutes of the video. I just happened to pause it and i may have forgotten to go back to the right spot.--Ditto51 19:34, 24 October 2013 (EDT)

I remember something about it when I saw the video but it sounded that they were simply stating that the SA bonus now becomes more important due to how it unlocks quickly so many Gene Mods. I'll check it again. Hobbes 21:34, 24 October 2013 (EDT)

It is at 11:25 and he merely comments that More Than Ways is much better on EW because of how it instantly unlocks the autopsies and gives so much more with Vital-Point Targeting. Hobbes 06:56, 26 October 2013 (EDT)

Still more aliens to be revealed?

At [2], he seems to avoid answering the part about more aliens, esspically since it is the second time that I asked. Anyone else think that there is a further chance of more aliens to be released. --Ditto51 11:49, 9 November 2013 (EST)

He also hasn't answered my tweet about more new Council missions other than C-Hive, but I've already read somewhere that there are more. It's very likely that there's some stuff going on but we'll have to wait until the 12th. Are you getting EW on the 12th or 15th? Hobbes 12:33, 9 November 2013 (EST)

Not sure, probably 15th if GAME deliver it on time--Ditto51 14:36, 9 November 2013 (EST)

Ah ok. I'll only receive the game on the 15th but I'm trying to see if someone in North America can send me on the 12th the content of a couple of the EW config files so that I can start updating the EW section with precise info. Hobbes 14:38, 9 November 2013 (EST)

Unrevealed Stuff

So how much stuff was actually in the expansion that they did not reveal before hand? Mainly talking about other new aliens, but anything else that I need to look out for on Friday would be nice...--Ditto51 11:17, 12 November 2013 (EST)

So far no surprises for me other than a couple of new Foundry projects. I haven't seen all of the game files though, so there might be something still hidden out there... Hobbes 12:16, 12 November 2013 (EST)
