Re: Announcement regarding LW2+WotC
Presumably there's no chance you would do a kickstarter or something for WotC support? Is there a dollar amount that would justify the time not spent on your own game? (Or a monthly version of a kickstarter or whatever).

Re: XCOM 2 expansion + Long War 2: Nothing to announce
It will probably just take time, maybe long enough for the original sales to "cool down". The cynic within me tells me that if 2K have commissioned an update, they probably also gave instruction regarding when the update should be released, but that's OK. I plan to play WotC as is first a...

Re: XCOM 2 expansion + Long War 2: Nothing to announce
They aren't being paid for working on LW2, as far we know. And the Long War team doesn't have a Patreon because they feel it would not be appropriate since they were paid in the past.
So if you want support tweet at 2k and ask them to cut some more checks to the Long War team!

Re: Supporting Pavonis
FWIW, I think if you continue to work on Long War 2 long past the point they were sending you checks or whatever, it wouldn't be inappropriate to take donations/patreon/whatever.

Re: The chosen!!!
Can I tweet at Jake Solomon to give the Long War team some money to keep working on their mod with this add-on? Or directly to 2k?
I know they might even do it just because they are awesome but they totally deserve financial backing.

Re: adjust current campaign to fit 1.3
Well Joinrbs house rules might provide a baseline:
Missions need at least 50% infiltration (no 0% supply raids), no radio relays in regions that haven't defeated the network tower, more use of larger squads (5+) for missions when possible, try not to stealth too many missions, more pistol perks!

Re: So 0%/low% supply raids are getting nerfed....
Maybe a good mechanic for Long War in general would be minimum infiltration amount just to get to 0%, for some mission types. Being able to bypass the 'fatigue' is a big part of what breaks it.

Re: So 0%/low% supply raids are getting nerfed....
Do we know the fix is they are limiting it to 8 soldiers? That just changes the threshold at which you break the economy and nothing else matters. It will still be the case that once you can do ONE 0% with 8 soldiers, you can keep using the same soldiers since there's no infiltration time and do the...

Re: My humble input on the Blacksite mission
Stealthing should be an option to complete the mission, but not something you can send one Shinobi on. It should require like a combination of objectives that would impossible solo. Like maybe you have to do a hack to open a door, Kill a VIP, and grab the vial, in a layout where you essentially need...

Re: Please don't call unavoidable alien upgrades Dark Events
I actually do think it would be helpful to rename Dark Events to Alien Progress or whatever, to reduce the confusion with vanilla. Over the course of the campaign it's expected the aliens will eventually get every dark event. Pretty different thing.

Re: My humble input on the Blacksite mission
Hmm blacksite isnt that the one were U are supposed to steal the Vial? Just send a shin in and you can basicly solo it without any bigger issue at al. Reinforce never started before stealing for me. This works way too well though and I hope this is nerfed. You can get right to the via before breaki...

Re: Feedback from no <50% infil campaign
I haven’t got any experience with sword-spec Shinobis, so I’ll just talk about Stealth specced ones. They fit their role well, they make great scouts on combat missions. I think their tree is fine with one exception: Conceal. This perk is so strong, it trivialises a lot of stealth missions late gam...

Re: Feedback from no <50% infil campaign
I think a very good solution here would be to make autopsies give prototypes (like weapon and armor researches give). The Proving Ground system where your Engineers have to work out how to reproduce that prototype could remain, but each autopsy could give you one plate or one ammo type for free upo...

Re: Feedback from no <50% infil campaign
Thoughtful post, I am in strong agreement with most of it. The only thing that makes me wary is the kill XP as I never enjoyed micro managing that. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't increasing the importance of individually tracked kill XP -- the whole squad got the benefit. But overall I agree that it w...

Re: Suggested fix to supply raid, troop column, HQ 0% infiltration abuse
I don't think even putting in place all of Johnnylump's suggestions will curb the problem unless other changes are made. You can still win, Joinrbs just did it with 7 soldiers and no concealment. So it's still the case that once you can beat one 0% Supply Mission the campaign breaks -- your troops a...

Re: Low Aim Rookies
It might be worth noting that beta tester joinrbs is playing L/I with a houserule that he can't use the GTS to pick classes -- only to promote rookies to random classes -- and doing fine. Lots of ways to make bad stats work.

Re: Suggested fix to supply raid, troop column, HQ 0% infiltration abuse
Abusing squadsight/conceal or just strong defensive setups (without squadsight) on these maps really well but is tedious and not super fun, but way too effective not to do. No concrete suggestions for how to fix. 1) Find an place on the edge of the map with high cover, and that has very little high ...

In addition to the options here, also officers and haven advisors. Holo-targetting snipers. Certain gunner builds.
