What would have been really evil would have been for them to make all of the difficulties identical to Impossible. When people started complaining about Impossible being too easy, they could apologize and say that they accidentally the difficulty settings and that they would all default to Cakewalk on a Silver Platter Easy, then patch it and make Impossible even more brutally unfair. Evil, but it would make people love them.

BLARGH!!!

I literally have every single thing in my impossible ironman every single second wave option on except marathon run. I have all the research, 10+ colonels, all foundry techs, every single building, and only lost 3 countries. I completed every single mission but I can't activate the Gollop Chamber. You know why?

BECAUSE I HAVE NO PSYCHIC USERS RAAAAAARGGHHH!!!!

Goddammit.

What the hell am I going to do now? Recruit hundreds of squaddies and hope one of them has enough Will to not only have psychic powers but also enough to activate the chamber itself. At this point I'll probably give up because of how tedious it would be to farm the squaddies than to actually complete it.

You really should not be that surprised with the anti-psi Second Wave option on.

The thing is I have one psychic user and I got her pretty early on so I thought I was set.

But it turns out there's a minimum will limit for the Gollop Chamber for some reason. So I'm completely fucked.

Yeah. No luck there. Even tried the mind shield but that didn't help either.

Basically SOL.

That doesn't make any sense. The Psi Armor is the event trigger.

Wat?

But I have it on and everything and it still doesn't work. It says I need someone with higher will.

I can safely say I have never ran into that before.

I got a rookie soldier on Classic that had psi but really crappy will, yet putting on the psi armor triggered the "OMG she's ready" thing.

Hmm... I'm going to try taking it off and on again after reloading and see if that fixes it then.

Edit: Yay! It works now! Time to end this thing!

What, really? I always thought it was just a Will limit, and the Psi Armour was helpful because it increased Will. It's certainly not the ONLY event trigger. I've activated the Gollop chamber with just a high-level psyker with natural 100 Will, without the armour.

What version are you playing? I've got it on xbox, so presumably I have an earlier/later patch than you. I got someone naturally to 100 will, no trigger, but I gave the psi armor to a psi rookie who had 45 will, bringing their net will up to an unimpressive 65.

The gollop chamber trigger is /weird/. And possible buggy. Take the psi-armor off everyone and requip it on someone with maxxed out levels in psi, and you should be good.

I've ALSO activated the Gollop chamber with someone not wearing psi-armor, though. But it certainly seems to be the trigger that allows it to happen.

Yeah, I took it off my psyker. Saved and reloaded. Put it back on and then it worked.

Definitely buggy, but at least I can end this game now. Thanks for the help guys.
