Once a pod has been alerted and entered the yellow alert patrol mode, will it ever return to green?

I see, thank you sir.

Looking through XComLW_Activities.ini I found: ; For every point that global vigiliance (sum of all regional vigilances) exceeds global alert, ; completion of an avatar point project at the Fotress or at a research facility will be delayed ; by this many hours AVATAR_DELAY_HOURS_PER_NET_GLOBAL_VIG=1...

The first body is back where you picked it up, without a mod to fix it the body never moves until you manually put it back down. Who knows on the second body.

Did you have patch 1.1 installed when you experienced this? Patch 1.1 fixes a lot of issues with Hunker, like Hunker's defense bonus applying in literally EVERY situation, not just against ranged attacks that aren't flanking the hunkered unit. Can confirm, fleche hit chance is significantly reduced...

The developing notes for patch 1.2 seem to suggest that negative dodge is the same as +crit. Does this mean depth perception PCSs are crazy +5 aim and +25% crit against enemies without dodge?!

I never used them much because I thought the anti-dodge portion would see too little use.

Stunned for the remainder of the mission, you mean? The super specifics of the post-enemy stun part was that during the stun they could not do anything, after the stun they could not move but could seeming use abilities though nothing was in range so all I could do was overwatch. I didn't elaborate...

Plus after the alien's un-stun the soldier remains stunned.

- If you miss a critical FAL mission, it will set you back as you will have to search for the lead again. Is this still true? There were statements from one of the testers that this did not carry through to release and you now find new missions at the same step. Secondary question, why do I find so...

The thing can easily one-shot a faceless, sounds like a pretty awesome weapon. If you want to talk about crappy weapons it's the gunner combat knife.

Just finished up with a round of performance-related improvements to the new targeting system. Turns out the first try was pretty terrible when a lot of tiles were involved (e.g. Incinerator + Roust). Along the way I found a bunch of bugs related to cover destruction and the like. This second round...

Turning on the "show hidden perks" option does not reveal the perks in soldier AWS trees and leader trees.

There are missions that award supplies, but they require a bunch of guys on intel to spot. I've been told to sell corpses, weapon mods and pcs in the black market too. I don't get a lot of any of those, but I get some. Selling corpses and not rending them seems like a bad idea. Upcoming patch notes...

I already specced into the flamer every time, even before this change. They take a lot of skill to use properly (conceal ambush), but wow can they turn an otherwise impossible mission into a relatively easy one if pulled off correctly. Or just wipe you entirely if you get spotted trying to setup an...

- Fixed bug preventing tactical DEs (Alien navigator-type upgrades) from occurring. This will cause a meaningful increase in difficulty. What does this mean? - Green alert enemies can now sometimes take green (defensive) reflex actions after scamper; removed anti-Beaglerush maneuver as redundant. I...

It seems like the best way to earn supplies would be to eliminate the faceless, they are costing me 50 each! But then I realized I'm already doing everything I can to eliminate them. I don't believe any of the missions reward supplies so my only way to build buildings and use the black market is pay...

Is it possible to tie the killing of an enemy to the unlocking of cells? I'm thinking an alternative to the jailbreak missions where you must kill the warden to release the prisoners. This would offer some fun for modders to add some interesting super enemies like ABA's primes and such. The warden w...

Currently you find Advent spies by assigning a soldier liaison. You can only determine you have a spy problem by noticing an unknown cause of supply loss on the monthly report. How do people figure out which region the spy is in? As it seems now the only way to determine a region is 100% devoid of s...

On a side note, making said soldier an officer might not be a bad idea, seeing how you only get a bunch of rookies to help.

Both being an officer and rank help in effectiveness.

Missions which list the reward "Get Advent's Attention" which is capturing enemy VIPs and destroying monuments will cause Advent to transfer strength to the region it occurred in, this can "drain" the strength from the are you are having issue in. It would be interesting to know ...

However even with the targeting changes I still can't see myself taking any flamethrower perks. Our criteria here isn't whether everyone feels like they are balanced. Different players have different play-styles, after all. The best we can hope for is that some players love them, some players think...

Back onto the topic of farming reinforcements, they are not worth anything. You get no exp and they never have loot. You're just wasting your personal time but fun in the eye of the beholder. Wait, what? Kills still give XP don't they? I know that LW2 has changed the balance so successful missions ...

Thanks sir.

I'm trying to nail down for myself the rules of when a flamethrower target cone will and won't reach around cover. It doesn't seem to be entirely about where the soldier shoots from as moving the cone a little bit can cause tiles to be hit even when they were in the cone but unhit at other angles. D...
