Re: Peek from concealment

They're not changing stealth in the way this mod does. What they're changing is how many units per pod and how many pods per map there'll be on lower-end missions.

Re: When do Rebels get better weapons?

I think it's completely random. I've reloaded a map a few times at the very beginning and had my rebels equipped one time with 1 laser and another time with 4, both times yielding different weapon archetypes to boot. So it seems like it's completely random, just a pool that can be drawn from at rand...

Re: When do Rebels get better weapons?

Once you have MAGNETIC weaponry, they will equip lasers sometimes. Once you have COILS they will equip MAGNETICS sometimes. It's always a tier behind.

Re: Pick Any Perk - Instead of 1 of 3?

While not perfectly suited to your needs, there's currently mod options for picking either 2 of 3 or all 3 perks per level. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198082028497/myworkshopfiles/?appid=268500 for the author's workshop, both are listed there.

Re: Switching Abilities

Also, the Localization stuff is simply names and tooltip info and the like. They don't have an actual relation to the function of a skill, those're usually buried in the scripts and UPKs. If an ability has a function called to within the config folder and related .inis, though, those are changeable....

Re: Switching Abilities

XcomClassData.ini holds the perk trees. You can, indeed, simply cut & paste certain abilities around and have them function correctly solely with that file. Just take the whole line of, for instance, "(AbilityName="CenterMass", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon)," and ...

Nope! Either update or don't. And don't post on Reddit with such illuminating points as 'uegh these changes are shit', it doesn't make you seem intelligent.

Re: Mission loading time

The only time capslock ever works in that way is when unloading a level, just prior to the debriefing squad above the Avenger scene when everyone's in the Skyranger returning. It can turn that load time into a second or two, though.

Re: Mission loading time

Upping my RAM from 8 gigs to 16 made the game go from a stutterfest that had minutes-long load times to one that has very few issues with stability, stuttering, or loading times taking longer than a minute. Might be a place to look, if you have 8 gigs or less.

Re: Why light (100%) stays at light (175%)?

I always see a Muton in March. Usually the first supply line raid will have one, and that'll be the last Muton I see for a few months.

JoINrbs wrote:Some missions have baseline activity modifiers. A mission with +2 baseline activity could never go below light (if it were at extremely light it'd then apply its +2 modifier and become light).

That's my understanding of this at least.
This was my understanding as well.

Re: 0% Lib missions (not Vanilla)

Good. Frankly, the benefits and the risks are quite balanced on Swarming Supply Line Raids. I imagine if the numbers can go up to Swarming with pluses it'll be quite the risk to attempt them in the future.

Re: Release for Patch 1.3

This is literally just a guess, but when last noted by Xwynns where the patch was in the process, he said it was still a ways off, that was about a week ago. I would not expect it very soon, at least not until you start seeing crowdsourced translation requests from the devs and all.

Re: Enemies shooting at Xcom while bound by Vipers

I, too, would be curious to know if this behavior can be easily addressed with an .ini tweak. That said, to answer your question, this behavior is new to LW2. POSSIBLY unintended. See the thread in the Bugs subforum on the subject. It might be getting changed, as such. It's a thing where all the oth...

Re: No POIs - wasn't this fixed?

PoIs eventually stop spawning in vanilla XCOM2 as well. I think it's unavoidable unless Firaxis fixes it or Johnnylump and co. pull some real magic out of their butts (they tend to do that a lot, as is evidenced by LW2 itself)

That +5 to aim from Lasers is absolutely no comparison to the damage boost from Magnetics. I say Mags are better in 99.9% of the cases than Lasers.
