Re: Suggestion: new class, the Gunslinger

I just don't see this happening, not because it isn't an interesting idea, but because it would require a whole new set of animations to make look decent. The only reason the gunner has a rifle-style grip on the heavy weapons is so that they can share the same animation assets with the rest of the s...

Re: defense "rebalance" in 1.2?

There are so many counters to tac sense though. You don't have to take low % shots against it. You can disorient/burn/stun to remove tac sense, or use one of the many damage sources that hit automatically. Isn't Archon/Gatekeeper innate defense much worse? I've not encountered Gatekeepers in LW2 ye...

Re: [Suggestion] More Uses for the Workshop

Personally, I would not be against a Spark repair slot in the workshop. After one of my Sparks got fairly thrashed on a mission, it needed almost 60 days of repair time. If these are the repair times I'm looking at, just the slot in Engineering isn't going to cut it for more than a single Spark on y...

Re: Pavonis sudden NDA-like-silence on forum + new unknown Xcom DLC

I'm just going to propose an alternate explanation; I have no affiliation with Pavonis, so this is in no way definite. It could be that Johnny is sick recently, and so progress on 1.2 has been delayed. This is the cold/flu season in the US, and I know lots of people I work with have been out sick la...

Re: Close combat assaults and sword shinobis seem useless

If you are having trouble specifically with using melee shinobi to get kills, there are a couple of things that may help you out. 1. The fleche skill will inflict more damage with a longer charge, so keeping your Shinobi with as much mobility as possible will help. Paired with the skill that allows ...

Re: Proving ground items question

My experience this far is that the Proving Ground allows you to prototype a new device: they make a single copy, but they've worked out the production process. Afterwards, you should be able to produce new copies on demand from engineering. I know this is how it works with armor options, but not pos...

Re: Pending Changelist for 1.1 (NOT RELEASED)

Looking forward to the flamethrower changes as right now I've used it once only, and not had a good opportunity since due to the cover mechanic.. I try not to leave my troops swinging in the wind. :-) Ok, taking this back. Have used the flamethrower 3 times in the 2 missions I just played and it re...

Re: [suggestion] Glass breaking not breaking concealment.

While I am okay with breaking glass resulting in breaking stealth, it seems odd that Advent patrols break glass all the time while moving around. If shattering glass means trouble, you would expect peacekeeping forces to avoid doing that unless in a hostile engagement. I understand that this was alr...

Re: What is the "to-hit" crit penalty?

This is to prevent a low accuracy hit from virtually always being a crit, as would often occur in vanilla XCom 2. The engine uses a single calculation to determine miss/graze/hit/crit, so the to-hit modifier is an attempt to reduce the overrepresentation of crits on low accuracy shots, both by XCom ...

Re: no advent officer autopsy?

One other thing to keep in mind: explosives destroy any loot dropped by killed enemies (unless you're using a grenadier with the needle grenades or some similar ability). This includes enemy corpses. Blowing up enemy troops doesn't leave enough behind for you to autopsy the unit. If you absolutely w...

Re: Pending Changelist for 1.1 (NOT RELEASED)

It appears that Rapid Deployment does not work with flashbang grenades. Back in the previous perks mod, this was due to an incorrect object name, "StunGrenade" vs "StingGrenade". Might this same naming issue have happened again in LW2? Rapid Deployment doesn't work with Flashban...
