Pavonis Interactive Forums

I ended up with a 16 move Sharpshooter and decided to give Snapshot a go. Snapshot description reads that you can take a standard shot or standard sniper rifle overwatch after moving, but it's not letting me overwatch. Is the text wrong, or is this a bug?

wonder how much of it is the armor and which parts might be the exo suit?

Since this new Xcom2 APPID was submitted on Steam a week ago, I haven’t seen any new posts from the Pavonis crew. https://steamdb.info/app/268500/dlc/ I smell something cooking and am beginning to salivate. Firaxis should just hire them already. Well, no new posts from JL, and fewer from Amineri an...

A week ago they said 'soon'. So I'm holding out for the weekend....

They're probably too busy reviewing LW2 compatibility with the new DLC though.

I too have only ever seen 1 damage per and I have been using it a lot. I've seen guys get burning but not sure that came directly from the attack. Might have come from them walking through a tile it set on fire after.

Viper King showed up in a mission just before 1.1, got away, and haven't seen him (or any other rulers) since. It was a big scare too, because I had no idea that inactive DLC, but still installed, will cause the rulers to show up (and it's pretty awful in my opinion). It's counterintuitive, but whe...

AWC will not in fact award a perk that is already in their skill tree. I'm curious to see how that may change in 1.2. From the patch notes: - AWC cross-training restrictions reconfigured to exclusively use perk triggers (rather than currently bugged class restrictions). Should see a lot more option...

I've had those almost-never-saw-ADVENT missions too. On the large maps, just running from ingress to the jail to the evac can take most of the time limit. It was one of the urban maps with tall buildings and good rooftops though so I was able to really control lines of site using the buildings, the...

(I've manually added the AWC fixes coming in 1.2 into my AWC config file) Sprinter, Tradecraft, Implacable, Low Profile, on anyone. Evasive on any non-nest sniper. Untouchable on most. I have a Shinobi I may try to make shooty: 1 - Shredder, Lethal, Suppression, and Rapid Reaction. (also Sprinter an...

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...

Which? Detail the steps please?

Will reproduceable save files still help at this point?

I spent several hours trying to test load/save/reload/quit game/reload last night and could not get it to reproduce for 2 PCS on 2 different characters...

Today I loaded up my save and they've both lost their PCS...

Any more details? It's been working fine for me, sometimes 2 in one mission.

Are you using any hacking mods like Hack+?

I'be been wondering the same, though I was thinking of using 0.2

Let me know if you try it and it works.

What is "covertness?" An infiltration modifier I assume? yeah, same thing that makes SMGs take less infiltration time and cannons take more, etc. Its odd to see it expressed as a percentage so small and to have higher be better: I would have assumed a base number that gets reduced by modi...

@3dahs - definitely a vanilla bug of some sort. Even observed on PS4. Some think it was introduced with SLG but I'm not sure if that's confirmed. https://steamcommunity.com/app/268500/discussions/0/359543951702867877/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/268500/discussions/0/361798516937256203/ https://s...

Main observation/comment: Bug only appears to manifest on certain soldiers, but for those soldiers it WILL manifest consistently. At least as far as I can tell. This was the case in my last campaign in which I tracked every soldier who ever got a PCS - out of 26 soldiers I observed, only 4 of them ...

If you want to do it a bit more manually just make a copy of your save game folder just before/as you launch each mission. Leaves you the option to go back and redo that mission, or choose to abort it.

Details and a DIY fix until patch 1.2 comes here:

... Fix isn't retroactive to existing soldiers. Thanks for the link, and the posted fix. Can you clarify the fix not being retroactive though? Does that mean any soldier, even rookies, already in the armory will NOT be impacted by changing this, even with no AWC yet built? Or if AWC not yet built, ...

MINOR CODE SPOILER BELOW! STOP READING YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! Part of the puzzle here: https://s28.postimg.org/qjekhkrm5/Capture.png post image Looks like each mission previously taken between an officer and squadmate increases covertness by 0.75%, with a cap at 25% (cap would be 33-34 missions togethe...

Long and short is a number of abilities intended to show up in the AWC aren't.

More details, including copy/paste config file fix in this thread: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 17&t=23895

Fix isn't retroactive to existing soldiers.

DefaultClassData.ini NumInForcedDeck = 0 NumInDeck = 0 This edit removes the specific soldier class from initial promotion screens, note that you can still receive this class as a reward or for hire in the Black Market. Wait, so you can't auto-promote into certain classes? Why is that a suggested i...
