my main suggestions for wotc/lw is just stuff to avoid: - tired mechanic... infiltration already tries to accomplish what tired does in wotc, if you add it and keep infiltrations, then you will have double mechanics keeping you from using your troops. infiltration is the better of the two imho, sinc...

from 1.5 patchnotes - Add NoStripOnTraining option to XComUI.ini, next to NoStripWoundedInventory. If true (defaults to false) soldiers will not have their equipment stripped when they are placed in staff slots. Affects GTS rookie training, Psi initial training, and LW2 officer and AWC training. Psi...

In case WotC breaks things (even without buying the expansion), is there a way on Steam to lock your xcom2 game at the specific build? I won't be buying the xpac anyway because I feel like it's a money grab. They removed the option to opt out from updating games on steam, so the only way I know is ...

Not sure if it's a thing you can do, but maybe just take the smoke off the rocket so that it actually is useful? EDIT - coupla other ideas: Some kinda gas rocket. Single-target rocket that rolls to hit, instead of scattering, but does more damage. That's actually kinda cool idea, replacing smoke wi...

It doesn't happen for me, so it must be one of the reduce voice over type mods that stop it, probably this one:

okay maybe too soon hyped though

I too had the feeling on 1.3 release that aliens was hitting me way more than likely... but since then it's started evening out, so either it was something that was fixed, or it was just confirmation bias...

Sadly a lot of custom soldier classes i use come with secondary pistols so thats my problem then .

Thanks for the fast replies!

You should also be aware that modded classes with secondary pistols also won't work with the AWC perks for pistols in LW2

I mean if I had "least favorite things" I would first try not to use that wording since it seems negative/complaining, and I would just create highly specific threads with specific titles so people could discuss substantive issues with more productive results. Don't get me wrong, all in a...

If pods are getting a scamper on your turn without activating, then that is not LW2 (or at least we've never seen that in testing). Yeah I get their animation like as if they activated, but then they just walk slowly in their normal patrol (during my turn). Guess I need to figure out what mod does ...

Something else I've only noticed since 1.3 (but might be part of other mods I'm running) is that if my concealed shinobi finds an enemy squad, they get a move, even if they don't see him, and that movement can make them see my other soldiers and fully activate them. Also I had a situation of a zombi...

So, companion post... what are your least favorite changes in 1.3? For me it's that the difference between a small and medium squad is basically non-existant. I've had several missions where I put in 3-5 guys and see that I'm not able to infiltrate 100%, so I remove one guy, and the infiltration tim...

I really like that facilities no longer have maintenance which caused some illogical strategic decisions early.

I like the mod, same as with most mods that give additional information. Most the information is something that a very experienced player might otherwise know, but since I'm not on that level I like mods that help me give me information like this. When I watch vids like xwynns he's always talking ab...

Intervention didn't get changed though right? maybe it needs some adjusting to fit the new turn timers?

Thanks to the team for all their hard work and for dealing with all us impatient rookie-killing players

Obviously it's your game and you mod it as you like but concerning the "not intuitive" part i think many people don't understand what medikits are really in this game. I feel this is a typical "game mechanics vs realism" situation. Since a soldier before taking damage and after ...

How about saying that column ambush and supply raids are something you can't plan for, you just get an opening to do it immediately. So there's no infiltration, and it has to be done immediately or not at all, and it could be balanced according to that (maybe give it similar troops to a 100% infiltr...

I laughed when I was watching a streamer that most recently played Mass Effect: Andromeda, then played XCom2 and was like "wow these models look amazing!"

But yeah XCom2 is really beautiful... they really nailed it

You fixed how soldiers try breaking non-existent glass before firing through open/broken windows and doors?

Tactical Suppressors and Spec Ops combat knives . When everyone else is complaining about the push into stealth on 1.2, I'm loving it. Enjoying it so much, in fact, my big fear for 1.3 is that Pavonis will overreact to the criticism, and end up spoiling it. I tried Tactical Suppressors since it sou...

So in waiting for 1.3 I've been playing around with a lot of different mods, and I'm curious what gameplay changes others play with. I'm ignoring cosmetic, maps and class mods, since those are pretty plug and play regardless. But apart from that, this is the mods I use with some reasoning for why I ...

I've never stopped modding since starting playing XCOM2 seriously in November, although I basically purged everything but the basics when LW2 came out. I've gone through a lot more than just the ones I have now, but I have about 50 mods, most of them actually doing stuff to the UI/gameplay. I think...
