I have gotten no missions so far that set back DE's. Should I?
Also, i currently have 3 active DE's. Should that happen? I thought they were only for limited time?
Dark Event missions?
Re: Dark Event missions?
There are two other threads on this but yes, many DE's are now there forever. They are just spawning in areas where you don't have coverage.
Re: Dark Event missions?
As far as I can tell, rather than just gaining stat bonuses because X months have passed, the aliens' primary means of teching up is completing Dark Events. This also means that the precise nature of the alien forces varies from campaign to campaign based on what they tried to develop and what you stopped them from deploying.
Some things are temporary, while other, especially equipment upgrades, seem to stick. It makes sense. If you developed a new type of round to combat XCOM and it was working well, why would you abandon it because 21 days elapsed?
A lot of the edge case items in engineering and the proving ground become quite relevant when you need to counter a particular alien development.
