Re: wotc idea: technical upgrade

I admit that I am bias as I was never a big fan of technical. The class seemed ... superfluous (yeah, wanted to use a big word). Yeah, Tehnical needs to get axed from LW2. It just doesn't feel right at all with that cringeworthy gauntlet. The game has a new flamethrower model. Make it a secondary f...

Re: Grenadiers suck.

Look, Pavonis wanted to go massive on class and perk diversity. While you may agree that the vanilla firaxis version is a bit too condensed with class roles, Long War 2 has gone to another extreme. More is better .. or is it? Grenadier feels like a one trick pony. I am not talking about perk variety...

Re: A Guide for LW2 Players Moving from 1.2 to 1.3

Any news about the #1 most *censored* thing in LW2: the pod that spawns near the rebels on datatap mini retals? This is just one huge middlefinger to the players.

Re: LW2 just isn't fun

The game needs some bonuses for each individual region. These bonuses need to correlate with advent activity in the region. Here is an example: +15% glonal chance for detecting dark event missions: the more advent strength in the region, the lower the bonus. This way you will have more choices to co...

Re: LW2 just isn't fun

My personal gripe is with strategic layer though. A lot of effort was put into strategic layer ADVENT but it did not enrich the experience for the player in a meaningful way. Apart from continental bonuses (which are mostly terrible numerical bonuses which are borring) all the heavens are essentiall...

Re: Sniper: AMF vs Double Tap

How come nobody mentioned the total pod annihilation that AMF + Rapid Reaction does? That's basically 3 less enemies per pod. It can kill stuff by grazing alone. Yeah, cool under pressure would hit the jackpot, but AMF does the job well

Re: What are the uses of Field surgeon?

So i got 1 hp damage, exactly 1 hp. I still get the wound recovery after mission despite having a field surgeon that is supposed to heal that 1 hp!!! I hate this perk. The description of how it works is terrible to say the least.

Re: Why is Killzone 2 AP?

Why is Killzone 2 AP?

In Vanilla Killzone was a Sniper perk and therefore it costed 2 AP. If you got that through AWC it was still 2 AP. And Now you removed this from Snipers and put it on 2 classes that have a little bit more mobility than Snipers. Besides, it goes against their abilities that allow them to fire then pe...

Re: Thoughts on the 1.3 changes

While many of us might not agree with 1.3 changes, including me, I do admit one thing about xcom. Many of the abilities will only shine at harder difficulties.

Unless shooting at exposed targets, it's very difficult to push crit high enough. Let's do the math: 1. Locked On, second shot +10 crit 2. Aggression, su...

You cannot improve your aim by using lighting hands the followup with your rifle. Focus Fire i think takes into consideration any ranged attack. ...

I think with the right tweeks to amo for pistols, they could easily be balanced.

Well, I guess there is mods for t...
