Pavonis Interactive Forums

As unfortunate as it is that they arent able to interact with the community on these sort of things. I'm more than okay with it, because now they're being paid for their hard work... if that means they can't keep me in the loop the moment I want to know.... I'm just glad that Pavonis has been able t...

Okay, cool. I play on ironman and try and play long war how you guys intended it to be played, and wasn't sure if this was meant to be a thing... although I assumed if so, it would've been grayed out as an option to get that as a reward. I'll just console command and feel okay about doing it lol Tha...

So I just had a quick question. I went on a mission and was able to hack two separate Large Supply Caches on the same mission. One from the lamp post and one from the jail cell, but only received 75 supplies when the mission was completed. Is this a bug or are you not able to hack two of the same re...

So I decided to take a break for a week because of these cover bugs that i've been frequently getting. I decided to give it a go tonight and the very first mission was a smash and grab... where I encountered my 3 flank/full cover bug now on these mission types. Here's a nice screenshot and I can pro...

Antifringe, you may very well be right that I hadn't noticed it before because you have to pay close attention to your troops animations, but the main reason I noticed it recently was because of how many times I was getting one shot from behind full cover and it's happened numerous times over the pa...

Chrisb, I'll be sure to save the game next time I notice it. I also want to point out that now on 4 separate occasions since the release of 1.3... I've had flank shots on enemy units whey the were behind cover and I wasn't flanking them. In all cases, the animation was showing that standing up inste...

Well I can tell you first hand that my experiences weren't because I've been taking less soldiers on missions, and therefore, more aliens having the opportunity to shot... as some suggest. Nor is it because I'm working more missions... as someone suggests. I have soldiers standing up out of cover as...

I spoke earlier in this thread about getting hit critically behind full cover as if I do not have cover... most examples didn't indicate they were out of cover, but had a stance as though they were. Here's a different type of example that actually shows me flanked, although it's not possible to be f...

I've actually been taking about the same squad sizes as before. Generally 4-5 people per mission... occasionally, I'll take 6 if the mission timer permits and I haven't taken on a lot of wounds in recent missions. So i don't think that is the case for me anyways. I laugh at people that blame RNG as ...

Davibones, thanks for sharing this. After 900 hours I hadn't recalled experiencing this bug. However, the occasions where my guys were critically hit after appearing to not be a stance that reflects them being behind cover were in situations different from the ones you spoke of. One was on the corne...

I have to say I'm starting to wonder the same thing as the OP. I've noticed since I started playing 1.3 that a couple of the enemies were behind full cover but actually showed up as flanked. I've only been playing this version for about a week, but i've noticed a lot of my troops standing straight u...

Thanks fellas. I mean now that I know that others are generally pulling multiple pods as well... I'll assume that my experiences are the norm and typical for what to expect and plan accordingly.

Yeah I tried that strategy and ended up getting 5 injured. That's the formula I use for extract missions as well. I mean I have a good handle on that aspect of the game and strategic layer. At least I should, I have over 800 hours in XCOM 2 and 2,000 hours if you combine it with XCOM 1. Generally, 9...

Yeah I mean if I made it to the compound i usually carry a shotgun in my squad along with a ranger and his handy double barrel. Same setup I go with when going on cell rescue missions and others. The trouble I'm having is making it to the compound... Generally, i've pulled the patrol unit and immedi...

Anyone else struggling with smash and grab missions? I rarely get injures on extremely light missions anymore and so far in the 3 attempts at this mission on extremely light... i've had one where I wiped... one where I came out with 5 injuries(one had to be carried out), and the third was successful...

I disagree with the OP about taking 4 turns to kill drones. Yes, they can be difficult with certain squads, but generally early on you get combat protocol for your specialist and/or have a shotgun wearer in your squad. It's almost a given that you'll encounter drones, and a shotgun user can destroy ...

Jacke, I would be okay with aliens attacking rebels if the datatap had been immune to damage. They spawned on top of me and activated immediately, but I still had a turn to put the majority of my resistance haven members in cover, and had the datatap been off limits from taking damage, I would've fl...

Ahhh damn. This is good to know. Thanks for the response!

So I'm really starting to get the hang of Long War 2 mechanics after my 5th restart of campaigns, but I have a question regarding unrevealed faceless and intel gathering. Usually at the start of a campaign, there's at least 1 faceless within the resistance haven of 6 starting members. Initially, I t...

I hear you autoclave. I always play ironman and don't mind starting over when I fail, but for the first time in ages I actually reverted back to an old version of the save file because of this nonsense. I can't say for sure, but I believe the spawning of enemies for these missions hasn't been modded...

Let me just clarify because I think maybe I confused some. I started the mission and immediately the pod of snakemen(3 snakes & 1 gunner) were activated on my datatap, but they didn't do reaction fire. So I began my first turn with my 5 resistance members and adviser that start at the datatap. I...

Yeah, the issue wasn't the squad I brought. It was the pod activation immediately at the start of the mission on top of the datatap. I had a squad of 8 geared up troops, but the squad you bring usually spawns a fair distance from the datatap. I sprinted them directly across the middle of the map, bu...

So I've been playing the mod quite a bit and i've done about 4-5 datatap missions throughout my playthroughs.. twice now when I start the mission I've had a pod of snakemen spawn directly on top of my datatap. Given that I only had 5 resistence members and my haven adviser, neither time I was able t...

Well my apology then, I hadn't had it happen for the short time that I played on Veteran and I read somewhere that it was turned off on the lower 2 difficulties. Also, it's not ignoring someones feedback, but it's a completely different experience when you have 8 man pods aggro'ing and a 3rd of the ...

I thought I would give another update, and let everyone know that I lost my campaign due to a 0% supply raid when my entire squad got wiped. Also, I noticed that Mobtank said nagul's feedback on this matter isn't valid due to him playing on veteran. I would have to agree with Mobtank's assessment be...
