Wait what? We aren't playing in 1.2, so why talk about a 1.2 specialist? Because I mentioned that 1.2 and earlier were where specialists merited their experience boost for weak combat. I'd say that now that they're stronger they no longer deserve this boost, so it's odd to say a holo-targeter shoul...

To start the activity that leads to a retaliation you need: Intel: 3 alert, 2 vigilance Supply: 4 alert, 1 vigilance Recruit: 4 alert, 2 vigilance Major: 4 alert, 4 vigilance As a side note, I notice that a Snare mission now requires 8 alert and 6 vigilance. It used to be 7 and 7. Alert/Strength is...

There's likely a more roundabout way, like simply spawning and customizing a new soldier and giving them more xp.

I'm towards the end of May with a Haven in New Mexico that has 16 resistance members in it. I thought the cap was 13, which makes sense seeing that I can't change the job of the last three away from "hiding." Does this mean there are at least 3 faceless in the Haven, or is it just a recru...

What? I didn't see that. How was kill experience tripled?

Does anyone wanna tell me how to be gamey and know what the exact infiltration level the command pod appears for supply/ambush? Is it 100%? Because honestly I would probably rather start unconcealed than fight a command pod (not that I have yet).

How much is one tile supposed to be in the game? because when rocket spread indicator says "2 tiles" the center of the explosion is usually at least 4 floor squares from the target square. In a simple explanation, it tells you the average. So even if there was a 50% chance it would hit de...

1) As you said, this could be seen as a minor issue, stemming around the bigger problems in 1.3 revolving around corpse retrieval (and the LW problem of Long War being a rather short). Because corpse retrieval is so RNG (A potential problem or potential feature) at the moment, you shouldn't really p...

I can't find the reason to pick up this perk. When 1 HP is an important % of the damage received (in early game) we don't have acces to this perk and in late game 1 HP isn't a lot when we receive something like 10 damage in a hit. And it happens not very often. So in my opinion is a perk that isn't...

But it's terrible for them to drop out of sight. I wish that couldn't happen.

In Long War 2 there are two ways to deal with yellow actions: - Damage them with AoE abilities and weapons. Damaged units can only get actions on the Defensive table. Oh, so overwatch is actually still quite useful, it might hit one of the targets that was randomly selected to act. A question: What...

You can't detect the mission until it's generated (and you won't know when). Well you mentioned the strength limit, so you do have some idea when, right? To be more specific I think a neighboring region to the liberated region needs to have at least 7 strength to launch an invasion, so maybe keep a...

I thought about the faceless initially but they shouldn' be vulnerable really, seeing as they're just jelly basically In my experience, jelly is quite vulnerable to being shaped/mangled/separated by a knife! Yes, but seeing as how faceless reshape themselves at will, being split or re-shaped may no...

While we're at it, I play with all sounds turned down, but the volume for the initial cutscene (unlike other cutscenes) you get when entering the commander's quarters (the spokesman talking to you on the monitor) also doesn't seem to be affected by turning ingame sound down, so it's always very loud...

I'm constantly getting 99% infiltrations when I made sure to give myself time. I understand that there's variation within an hour so having the infiltration time = the baseline time will sometimes be minutes short of 100%, so I always give myself an hour to spare, but even that doesn't suffice. I ca...

What happens if you take Quick Study in the AWC, do you get it excluded from the Psi Tree? What happens if you take it in the Psi Tree, do you have to take it again in the AWC tree to get the next set of abilities?

So, with the focus going away from stealth, we'll be able to be accept much fewer missions because we'll need more soldiers on every mission (can't 1 or 3 man anymore) and because with increased combat frequency we'll have more casualties. Was there anything explicit done to combat the lower accessi...

Yeah. Pistols are now utility items, you can only equip one pistol at a time as well.

Yeah, this was always in XCom 2. I guess because they're naked.

One element of gameplay that I'd say this improves is that you are much more encouraged to consider defensive options and perks than before now that it's guaranteed you'll be hit. I hate that defenses in this game are actually weaker than in Long War one though, with the nerfing of armor and making ...

JulianSkies wrote: That aside, they only know the location of the soldiers they can see.

Are you sure? I remember it was either EW or X-Com 2 where if they could see one of your soldiers they could see them all, but if all your soldiers were hidden you were fine.

I guess Long War has those new intro banners for certain missions (Rendezvous and the like), so when you first encounter a second set of consecutive reinforcements that guarantees that it's a snare a banner could pop up saying something like: "Advent's response appears to be more aggressive tha...

If I'm throwing a dart at a dartboard and aiming for the bullseye then, in the absence of biased throwing, the bullseye is the most likely spot for my dart to land of all the individual spots it could land (even if I'm lousy at darts). This isn't to say that it is more likely I get no scatter than ...

Hi guys. I was curious as to what people thought about the repair times on mech Troopers? I find that the repair times on Mech troopers are a little long given how long war is structured. And you can only repair one of the time. Do you think that this is balanced? Perhaps give us the ability to rep...

The goal is definitely to make them NOT fit the role. But rather to add variety to the game.
