While it may be true that the fire grenade may be OP, adding RNG so that the target unit may or may not be disabled after you use it, makes it a total unreliable control tool. Just adding a RNG to a OP item is not a wise balance choice, so if you are lucky you with an OP item and if you are not you ...

The hero system works in vanilla because there are so few missions. If infiltration is cut and you only ever have to worry about 1 squad, then the hero limitation has a foothold. If the infiltration system stays and you have to worry about 3~6 simultaneous squads, ? That is incorrect, they had to a...

A big point seems to be, integrate the new WotC faction soldiers into the classes and being able to make as much as you want or not? My answer is definetely not. They should be special very limited units, like the sparks, very expensive to have, and maybe limited to one or two of each type. This cl...

Shinobi class can be dropped and it's perks rolled into the Reaper. Also the Vector rifles can work like the Marksman rifle of LW and have limited squad sight. Sword goes back to Assault and the Arc thrower becomes a utility item like the pistol with it's perks rolled into it via the proving ground...

Everyone seems to agree that technical and grenadier are one class too much. And they should be just one class with the rolles of crow control, demolition and squadsupport. Besides that the major problems are that the knife in the gunner is pointless, specialists should have a little more spice on ...

there is a reason an iconic gun belongs to an iconic character, as for the player in a way they define each other, and give that in-battle special connection that xcom should have. That's exactly why i suggested keeping named guns. If you think a gun is iconic enough to belong to one specific chara...

The idea of starting from cero may have sense, but somehow is unpractical. Cause we need to be able to work with the game framework and gun models and so on. Plus the problems are actually not that big. One example is the available weapons, these are modelled and animated and the game is built aroun...

Just think about the iconic soldiers of predator, poncho with the grenade launcher and jessy ventura with his chain gun.., or in aliens with the smatgun of vasques or the shotgun of hicks. Think about the magnum of dirty harry or the sniper riffle of Jude Law character in enemy at the gates, which i...

Maybe a more simple solution would be to auto-strip "normal" guns but not named ones so once you think a soldier is important enough to have his reserved gun specially outfitted for him kept in reserve for when he will be deployed, you just name it and it won't be removed automatically. O...

One of the most annoying things of Long War 2 compared with Vanilla, is that with the removal of squad upgrades, the weapons modifications now being swap-able and the huge amount of soldiers managed, there is a ton of unnecessary frustrating inventory management. This can be mitigated with some min...

I agree with a lot of what is being said here. And lets face it there is a lot of things not totally working in the LW2 class system, though i like how different it is from the base game. Im not sure if there needs to be something done with the new heroes. I would actually leave it like they are, ju...

Update BUGS - In the Squad Management view, after pressing the "view squad" button it is not possible to modify the gear of the soldiers (Changes do not persist from the soldier view to the squad view). - Soldiers lose their selected gear sometimes, this may be after being wounded or under...

You may be totally right, but I find more probably if that is the case that the mod exposed a bug from LW, cause the habilities code should not be affected by the type of mission. Or also can be an vanila game problem or a mod problem... The probablities of having a resistance member soldier you con...

I put some of this in separated post, and I’m quite sure some of them are already well know, but I think it may be useful just to list the problems I had. BUGS - Bladestorm triggered by ally reinforcements (haven soldiers). (I wonder if this is a side effect of the traitor mechanic, if so it will be...

Nono, it was not a faceless. I mean it was of these misions where you have your squad and a group of soldiers of the resistance shows later as reinforcements, im not sure if this kind of missions happen in the vanilla game, but i think this is a long war issue. I know there is a traitor mechanic in ...

This is quite simple, i was in a mission where reinforcements showed. Eventually, when moving one of them my Shinobi went mad and used Bladestorm when he came into his radius of action, killing his friendly foe xD

There is a funny problem with the subdue animation, if you use this ability with a shinobi class, (probably with other classes with swords as well) instead of a punch, a stab animation is played. Not the best way to leave a guy unconscious, stabbing him with a machete xD

In the squad management view, the save quad button seems to be still bugged. I click on the "view squad" button and the view of the squad works normally. Including the "save squad" button. But if i go back without doing nothing and click in the "view squad" button again...
