Re: Boltcaster sucks a ding dong?
If you're interested, there is a new custom class mod on steam that focuses on using those weapons. They start with the ability to reload for free after a kill. It's called Alien Hunter I found the Alien Hunter mod makes the boltcaster an ok weapon again. It does not give the weapon enough bonuses ...

Re: SPARKS worth it?
Yes. NEXT QUESTION. %. Valaska I love the idea of a three man spark team but how do you manage the repairs and maintenance? The only things I have been able to work out is using my repair power to repair the deployed damaged sparks in the early game so they will survive. In theory I have been think...

Re: SPARKS worth it?
I love Sparks, YAY robots. :geek: They have a lot of good aspects and a number big issues. Currently the largest drawback before you even look at abilities is the upkeep and maintenance of the Sparks. At best you really can only have a few Sparks as part of Xcom. For those that don't know you can on...

Re: Ranger builds
Very cool, thanks Trihero. I can see how good that would be on a gunner but for a ranger would it be better to mix it with venom or another ammo type vs doubling up?trihero wrote:Shredder perk does stack with shredder rounds, I did it with a gunner.

Re: Ranger builds
Right, I see what you are saying about shred but I do have a stacking question if anyone has tested it. If you have both Shred AWC and Shred rounds would it kill two armor in a hit or just one? Ranger was my favorite class in the older LW standalone mods and I'm still getting my head around this ver...

Re: Psi Ops still suck?
Well Elfich pointed it out well and I find this is an issue with oversimplification of classes/game mechanism. The Psi Ops don't have much to work with for minor modifiers so when something changes it is a larger swing. I do believe the Psi Ops class needs a evolution that will take time to play tes...

Re: [Suggestion] Some ideas for Avenger/Building overhauls
I'm glad, I'm not the only one to workout how disproportionately the Spark repair timer is. This is bad and needs to be changed and in the current state it really only allows you to have just a few Sparks because if you had more your repair que would be way backed up. 58 god dang days to repair a Sp...

Re: Oops a Haven is empty
Thanks guys for the feedback. I put a soldier there but now it is a waiting game. I'm far enough in that missing that haven is goofy but not going to hurt the game.

Re: Mutons counterattacks Bladestorm
Did you guys know that? I mean if you slash muton by your will - it`s your mistake, but if you see muton running near your shinobi it`s totally out of your control and you are just: "No, please, no, no don`t hit him.. Shit, told ya" Not sure if it is intended or not. This was how Bladesto...

Oops a Haven is empty
I noticed that one of my havens had zero resistance operatives. I'm guessing I missed something and they got wiped out. I have looked around but I don't see any info on the forums or in game about this. First is this a bug - most likely not If they were wiped out should it say region lost? Now that ...

Re: Psi Ops still suck?
Here is a suggested reboot for the Psi Ops. First I need to start by saying I have no idea about the formulas that are used to calculate the "To Hit" values for powers like Insanity. Currently it is to low in mid game making the % chance to hit being almost always better to just fire your ...

Re: Psi Ops still suck?
Sounds like Psi Ops have swapped positions with Vanilla SPARKS. Not necessarily bad, but you end up paying a lot more resources for something that's not actually any better than a regular soldier. I think it might be one step beyond that but I have not played with them maxed out yet. It takes a lot...

Re: Psi Ops still suck?
Ok I was thinking I was doing something wrong with my Psi Ops. I only have three right now and all with the basic powers because I was stupid to took a very long training on guy and keep putting him in infiltration rotation due to the lack of man power. I have found insanity at early/mid game to hav...

Re: Upgrade for Psi Lab?
I'm glad you posted this as I was planning on posting this question soon also. In LW2 do we not get the option for a second Psi training chamber or is there a trigger to unlock it? Nothing is showing up as an upgrade option to let us know if there is one or what the requirements are. I also had my s...

Re: Reinforcement spam has completely ruined LW2 for me
Ya in mine it started in turn 2 or three and went for 5 turns in a row. The every other turn or even two turns in a row makes it interesting but spamming reinforcements seems more like a bug vs something that is fun to play against.

Re: Reinforcement spam has completely ruined LW2 for me
I have one of these missions also 5 turns of reinforcements on a light/extremely light with pods of 5 mobs. Is this as designed or a bug? I assumed it was a bug and exploited the mission to complete it or it would have most likely been a full wipe. If this is not a bug is the idea here for this miss...

Re: Corpse Drops and drop rate
Well I feel better now knowing that evac missions do not yield any corpses. I do mostly get those missions at this point.
One more thing do attacks that would normally destroy loot also remove the chance of the corpse to drop?
Also thanks for all the feedback.

Corpse Drops and drop rate
I wanted to double check a few things and make for sure I did not mess up my game with A Better ADVENT: Long War mod. First off is there a trick or tactic to get more corpses to drop from missions or is the 100% RNG? I have only had two Advent Stun Lancer Corpse so far and I really need to be making...
