Re: Some feedback on Holo-sharpshooters
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...

Re: How do you get more recruits?
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...

Re: Any way to revive a KIA soldier?
There's likely a more roundabout way, like simply spawning and customizing a new soldier and giving them more xp.

Re: Too many resistance members?
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...

Exact Infil for Command Pod
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).

Re: rocket spread info is missleading
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...

Re: Some feedback on Holo-sharpshooters
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...

Re: What are the uses of Field surgeon?
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...

Re: enemies shooting on reveal
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...

Re: city defense since 1.3
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...

Yes, but seeing as how faceless reshape themselves at will, being split or re-shaped may no...

Re: Lasers and Arc Thrower: Loud audio playback?
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...

Narrow Timers
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?

Being able to take fewer missions
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...

Re: Enemy shooting on reveal
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 ...

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

Re: Rocket scatter slightly weird(?)
