Re: Can Haven rebels die in Mini-retals?
I dont think were on the same page guys. Im not talking about Haven retaliations where you actually have to evacuate the rebels, im talking about the mini ones like the Intel Raid where the rebels actually fight alongside your troops and evacuating them isn't necessary. (unless its the recruit raid ...

Can Haven rebels die in Mini-retals?
Hello, I've recently finished a mini retaliation supply raid. The mission was mostly smooth with all my operatives more or less alive, but unfortunately I was unable to save any of the rebels. When the mission was over I've noticed that I only had one rebel left in that haven(think I had 5 or 6 orig...

Re: Balance
Acid Grenade\Bomb: These should be the go-to grenade to bring down big, heavily armored M3 targets. Increase the shred, make the DoT shred, and up the rupture.. The latest changes to the patch notes indicates that they're actually buffing the acid bomb to 5 shreds. Its a good start at least. They'r...

Re: Why can't I find a facility lead?
If you get desperate I reccommend installing this mod by RealityMachina. Allows you to find Facilities on your own term at the cost of time and you can only use it on liberated regions too.

Re: Advent Strength Not Increasing
Also played on rookie and can confirm that this is what I was experiencing also, restarted the game on veteran instead and noticed that advent reinforcements are a lot more active with regions being on average 2 or above. Still though, the strategic layer feels alot more easier on these lower diffic...

Re: The chosen!!!
Holy crap, Advent Pyro units! . Makes me wonder how Pavonis will balance them in LW2, that is if they do decide to convert the expansion pack.

According to XWYNN in response to a similar comment question on that video, the patch still has a ways to go before its prepared to deploy so its going to be a while.

Re: "Protect Data tap" missions seem unbalanced
I feel there should be more of an Incentives reward for the MiniRetals. Sure its great that my operations are "Unhindered" but that doesn't exactly compensate for getting half my squad wounded or killed. They already said that corpses wont be on the table, maybe perhaps we get extra suppli...

Re: Making Ammo Interesting Again
Personally I like the idea of a per-soldier ammo slot (with no weight), with ammo production costs adjusted if necessary. That way resources are the limiter, and your soldiers can carry whatever ammo type you want them to carry for that mission so they can specialize. I can't see any mechanical or ...

Re: LW2 needs more "middle class" missions
I really really think LW2 swung the pendulum WAYYYYYYY too far away from sweeps and it just hurts the game. Look on the bright side, at least this means that they're taking these types of feedback's(Stealth missions too easy) into consideration, and may have plans in the future for how to correct t...

Re: defense "rebalance" in 1.2?
I can deal with the fact that it might be some time till we get 1.2. But I really wish the 1.2 CL were updated at least to reflect their current progress with the patch. Dont get me wrong, im sure they're working hard, but it would be nice to review some of the upcoming changes.

So I just had my first supply convoy protection mission and a lot of things went wrong that really don't feel like they should have.

Re: When Is 1.2 Out Roughly?
I think what's giving them pause is the recent feedback about stealth/raids being too dominant in terms of mission type. At least I hope they are vigorously discussing the distribution of missions and trying to make 5-6 tactics the mainstay as it is the genuine xcom experience (not james bond shinb...

Re: Why I stopped LW2 - but thanks for everything
I don't really think the purpose of stealth in the base game or long war is so you can avoid all combat in missions. If you are able to stealth though a large number of missions, you are finding exploits that weren't intentional. In other words you are just getting too good at stealth. ;) I had thi...

Re: Why I stopped LW2 - but thanks for everything
I really do find it hard to believe when people claim that the best way to do Hack and Vip rescure missions early on is to stealth it with 1-3 shinobis. I find that I usually cant succeed at stealth missions unless I save scummed like 2 times. All it takes is a single mistake( I had a random drone c...

Re: LW2 needs more "middle class" missions
After watching xwynn's smash and grab mission, I have little hopes that this makes the game any less stealth oriented. He did just fine with 2 shinobi grabbing 2/3 caches, and I have a hard time imagining a non-stealthed 5-6 man team being able to shoot down 15 mobs and grab containers and get out ...

Alternatively to allowing permanent Dark Event completions (the real bad ones at least) to be reversible, perhaps make it so that dark events only show up in regions where the actual Resistance (i.e. the player) is operating? Why would Advent need better HP or weapons in a region where the resistan...

Can you say wich one of the new mission types are multi-part missions? Not quite how we arranged them. An example of a multi-mission quest line is any mission set against a UFO. You'll need to run a hack or retrieve mission to learn the location of the UFO. If you succeed, then the UFO mission will...
