Re: XCOM 2 expansion + Long War 2: Nothing to announce

For me, LW2 turned XCom 2 around. I played vanilla XCom 2 with some minor gameplay changing mods (like increasing Mission timers because they were so awfully short) but after almost 40 hours, I lost interest. This is where I'm at with WoTC. I'll admit: I never actually played vanilla XCom 2 much at...

Re: XCOM 2 expansion + Long War 2: Nothing to announce

For now at least I'm not interested in the vanilla experience so... I'd buy the expansion (priced as a full game, incidentally) even for the engine fixes alone but I'm just not playing the game at the moment. This is kind of where I'm at right now with WoTC. There are so many good aspects of it. Th...

Re: XCOM 2 expansion + Long War 2: Nothing to announce

Not quite. 2K hired us to make Long War 2 and other mods and the rights to it are theirs. They gave us a great deal of freedom to design how we chose, although I'm sure if we'd gone off the rails and tried to put in, I dunno, explicit material, they would have probably stepped in, but it wasn't a b...

Absolutely. I'd love to see PfC functionality built directly into LW2.

Re: If we'll get LW for WoTC, can we have (much) less concealment in it?

@Greslin Have you played any of the hack/get to the objective/save prisoner missions in War of the Chosen ? I have, and you're right. I'll admit, I had a lot of misgivings about WOTC, but so far I've been pleasantly surprised by the improved mechanics. Problem is, I'm used to the pacing of LW/LW2, ...

Re: If we'll get LW for WoTC, can we have (much) less concealment in it?

I myself find the shinobi interesting to play with. I enjoy scouting with him and having a backup ace in the sleeve in case I really need something gone. But as I said, I admit that subtle weak points only start hurting when you put serious time into a game, and concealment might be one. TBH, I end...

Prohibited haven jobs after liberation

So I just finished a long running firefight to liberate New Mexico, one that involved a haven defense, a supply defense, and a relay defense, all taking place in the week or so before the HQ assault. To make this all happen, I bypassed the supply and relay defenses and took the prohibited jobs hit t...
