Re: How have the suppression mechanics changed?

it works like a regular overwatch, where if they have an adjacent tile they can move to that's out of los to the gunner, they can move there freely without getting shot at. I believe this is the case, though if you have a save with an example of a shot failing to fire when that's NOT what's happeni...

Re: How have the suppression mechanics changed?

On the topic of bugs, a gunner suppressed my technical, then I suppressed the gunner which broke his suppression but my technical still had the debuff and could not use the flamethrower. I was able to run the technical around without reaction fire though.

How have the suppression mechanics changed?

I AOE suppressed two people, one of them ran around the back of a car, the gunner did not shoot him but he seemed to still have the aim penalty based on the perfect information popup. Would anyone be willing to nail down the current suppression mechanics? I'll update the wiki so we can stop pesterin...

Re: Long War 2 Wiki Project

XComGameBoard.ini [XComGame.XComGameState_UFO] MinInvisibleHours=0 MaxInvisibleHours=0 MinNonInterceptDays=6 ; these control the regular interception time as well now MaxNonInterceptDays=21 ; these control the regular i...

Re: Long War 2 Wiki Project

Some of these are left over from EU/EW days (the code for XCOM 2 wasn't entirely new). Strength stat is used by some aliens as part of a stat-opposed check. For example, the Stun Lancer and Muton melee abilities which can stun, etc, use Strength (attacker) vs Will (defender). As far as I'm aware, s...

Re: Infinite Reinforcements?

Back onto the topic of farming reinforcements, they are not worth anything. You get no exp and they never have loot. You're just wasting your personal time but fun in the eye of the beholder. actually it is worth something, selling their bodies on the black market. You only get to keep bodies on mi...

Re: Baffling Design Decisions

Maybe they wanted to design a game and not port Long War 1.

Re: Avatar Project

Any mission that says "Find a Lead" as an objective might be the first mission in a chain of missions which will end with you Liberating a region from ADVENT control. Each of these missions has to be detected separately (if you fail to detect Lib 2 in a region, for example, it'll keep spa...

Re: True concealment

It's not that True Concealment is built in, it's that with the changes we made to pod patrol AI (they no longer automatically know where you are and rubberband to you while in concealment if you get between them and the objective) the optimal strategy IF True Concealment is enabled becomes to move ...

Weapon range aim bonuses

Cannons get an aim penalty at close range but I couldn't figure it out from the config file. Did something change for them? Also the XComGameData_WeaponData.ini file lists aim bonuses for weapon ranges. All of the 0 index values are zero except FLAT_CONVENTIONAL_RANGE[0] = 20, does it matter? Are al...

Re: How have status effects changed?

Burning is basically a stun that does damage. It's great. Disorient applies -25 aim, mobility penalty, and locks out most abilities that aren't shoot or OW. Poison doesn't last as long any more (I don't think) and applies a small penalty to aim (don't remember how much). Frost Bomb freeze doesn't l...

How have status effects changed?

Watching xwynns' lets play series he says and shows that the burning effect now blocks out all actions besides movement, no shooting.

Have other status effects had changes? I notice disorient does not stop them from overwatching, is it only an aim and move penalty now? Acid burn?
