Re: WotC is literally impossible to lose??

Well, after playing LW I can say that WotC is much easier indeed. I around midgame so far in Veteran difficulty (juggling around with several games right now lol) and I'm not feeling too rushed or against the ropes at all. It doesn't bother me though, I still have to try it in harder difficulties. I...

Re: Crippling RNG, no agency.

It also feels more real because in reality, many shots miss or debilitate a target. Rightout kills are way too common in media. See, I always disable graze because I consider that getting shot and not killed outright must already be a either a graze or a non-fatal wound(RP wise of course). I mean, ...

Re: The chosen!!!

If one bought the seasons pass way back when XCOM 2 was launched, will the expansion be covered by it? (I know it probably won't, wishful thinking here)

Re: The real war begins...

I hope not. IMHO, TFTD was quaint but it didn't really feel like XCOM. I mean, the whole fighting under water was weird, didn't really feel like I was fighting aliens you know?

Anyway, whatever it is they're planning I'm sure I'll find a way to like it.

Re: "Commander, we're generating no new supplies. We need to find a way to make Bradford shut up."

Maybe I'm crazy, but I find some weird comfort in hearing the gang talking when I'm in the Avenger. Makes if feel homely. Even Bradford's nagging, it's like he's the ships mom or something. (?)

Re: LW 1.4 and Retaliations

It'd be really useful to have an in-game log for the strategic section that shows the dates of important events, such as when you liberated a region, when a dark event went active, when a rebel was recruited, etc. I think it'd be a good QOL to help with having an idea on when to expect retaliations ...

Re: Can something be done about pod patrol routes?

Stealth shinobis can't handle scouting either, because 1.3 nerfed them into oblivion and they take too many rankups to come online. Gotta disagree with you there. Shinobis are still great to scout ahead for my squads. Hell, they are even great at removing advent units from time to time (when I foun...

Re: Trojan seems to always kill robots - a bug?

Just to add my experience: Last night I used shutdown on a Heavy Mec with 16hp, at the end of the stun it lost around 8hp so I had to actively kill it before it regained it's actions on the following turn.

Re: Any way to change muton melee AI?

Does combatives have a cooldown? Last night I used my shinobi to control a muton by placing him right next to the guy, and sure enough the muton stayed in place and tried (and failed) to melee my shinobi. However, right after that a centurion came as well and stabbed him without combatives ever proc...

Re: Any way to change muton melee AI?

I actually find it kind of immersive. I mean, I see the mutons as more of a brutish dude who tends to "rage" more often than, say, a stun lancer. Thus, even if they have an array of tactical options, the moment they see a dude(ette) brandishing a sword next to them they go all "must s...

The changes to timers/RNFs in this patch have brought the perfect balance between timers and time to plan for me at least.
