Way off topic but +1 just for mentioning Thaco.

It was sort of weird you specifically mention Thaco as this morning I was thinking about how much graze reminded me of the old D&D natural fumble rules.

Saying "rupture: x" where x is the amount of rupture currently on the target would be good in the same way it states disorient, stun, etc. Might not be possible given that I suspect this is handled by vanilla code.

I'm interested in hearing how it goes for players who use this, but it was a deliberate call to not expose that bit of info to the player and no plans to change that. It's really intended to be an internal AI variable that guides its strategic decision-making, not a player-facing variable to manage...

I think the only real reason this bothers people is they believe that a shot where they have either 100% or 0% to hit should never graze. Intuitively, players clamp hit chances at 0% and 100%. People just need to get used to the fact that LW2 instead clamps at -graze% and 100+graze% (so -10% and 11...

Meh, the only "problems" I have with the classes are: -sharpshooters can only equip sniper rifles. If they could use SMGs they would be a great holo-target + officer combo. -shinobi ... I would have prefered a different name. Oh noes - what a game breaker. :D I kinda agree with gunners an...

I do see some similarities between the classes. And I do think the gunner is too mobile. But they still all have their roles While I agree just on the concept, the problem is that mobility is prioritized because of the hard timers that XCOM2 introduced. If the timers were more soft, ie; mission suc...

I tried Tactical Suppressors since it sounded interesting, but I felt it just lead me into traps where I tried using it and when it didn't work as I hoped I was stuck in a bad situation. How do you generally play when using that mod? (also I think it might truly become OP in 1.3 with the smaller po...

It's supposed to. Gollop developed the original XCOM and has said that he highly enjoyed some of the changes brought by the new firaxis titles, so he's borrowing the ones he enjoys to use in Pheonix Point (the global map for instance).

I registered just because I felt like I had a minor point to be made about the difficulty of LW2 in the context of this thread. I'm coming back to LW2 after having been absolutely stomped by an Avenger Defense mission in 1.0 where I ended up completely outgunned with a Sectoid and Gatekeepers on the...
