Re: Can we have (old) Supply Raids back?

but saying that 1.3 decreased the variety of missions is 1000% unfair! 1.2 had 2 missions : 3 men stealth op and 10 men fights. 1.3/1.4 have options for 2-10 men depending on mission type, infiltration timer, squad composition. The variety of missions is better than it was ever in XCOM2 or LW2 so w...

Bladestorm and Muton's counter doesn't make sense

I am not exactly sure how it is as of 1.4, do Mutons still counter the Bladestorm attacks? If so it doesn't make any sense. Bladestorm is considered a reaction attack so the overwatch penalty applies and it cannot crit. In such case the Mutons shouldn't be able to counter the reaction attack. If Mut...

Re: Conceal in 1.4

Given that you can't really stealth missions in 1.4 anyway, I think this whole ability is borderline useless. Compare it with Serial, AMF or Chain Lightning or Capacitor Discharge and it is just sad.

Can we have (old) Supply Raids back?

I noticed that many people on the forums and reddit skip supply raids altogether. I had to skip most of them too when I played 1.3/1.4. (I had to revert to 1.2 due to cover bug popping up way too often.) I think that making supply raids undoable (or doable only with 4-6 men vs. ~20 aliens) is a wron...

Re: Massive cover bug in 1.4?

Thank you for quick response! I am aware that vanilla had some bugs, but I don't think I ever encountered it before 1.4. I had about 300 hours with LW 2 1.1 and 1.2 and it was never an issue. I updated to 1.4 and this bug occurs almost every mission. But given this information, I will let you guys t...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover

I can too confirm that there is something very wonky going on with hit chances. In my game it seems there are two bugs going on: 1) Cover randomly stops registering and soldiers (and Advent) start showing animations as if they are out of cover and do no receive defense bonuses. 2) Flashbanged, supre...

Massive cover bug in 1.4?

I ran multiple times in the following bug: A soldier goes into cover which shows a blue shield, yet his animation is as if he was standing in the open (straight up holding a gun). Naturally, he gets shot next turn. Usually reloading a save game fixes the issue. However, last time I reloaded the save...

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

Erm, you mean sword shinobi's are INFINITELY weaker* As in, pointless now... Completely fricken pointless. Dodge reductions in multiple ways decreases their survivability and the complete crap on Reaper makes them worthless. Just ditch Shinobi if you are going 1.2 -> 1.3. Completely ditch sharpshoo...

Re: Thoughts on the 1.3 changes

1) I think they way over-nerfed the sword Shinobi build in this patch. Reaper was the only ability that made sword Shinobi useful and now with -3 damage penalty (-3 after the 1st kill, -6 after the 2nd kill, -9 after the 3rd one!) I think there will be zero reason to go for sword builds. I mean, Rea...
