Re: Are you still balancing the LW perk pack?

If you know people are gonna complain (which they will). When you change something might as well change a lot so you don't have to keep doing it again so many times (not really a fan of huge changes but what else can you do?). I just feel like another balance pass towards the Perk Pack is truly need...

Re: Are you still balancing the LW perk pack?

Balancing the perks against each other. At the moment there are just so many non-choices within the classes. One perk clearly outshadowing the other 2 when you level up. This takes away a lot of the fun that was in the original LW classes where almost every choice was really viable. At this moment m...

Are you still balancing the LW perk pack?

Are you going to balance the LW Perk Pack anymore or will it be left in its current state? And is this the best place to give feedback to your XCom mods or is there some other forum you visit where you're more active? The original Long War mod had lengthy discussions about stuff but this place seems...

Re: What are You guys planning for the combat system?

From the sounds of it you're going for a classic 4X game. The problem is that there are already a huge number of such games currently that you are competing with. And good quality games too. Distant Worlds, Galactic Civilizations etc. I was really hoping for an XCom like game, even with just abstrac...

Re: LW Perk Pack perk tree balance (specific)

So you use 2 extra soldiers compared to me. I also play with LW Aliens pack. That explains a lot why you can keep taking perks like Covert to just mess around. 2 Extra damage for swords means you can one hit Sectoids. That's huge. One extra tile for concealment means, basically nothing. It's not rea...

Re: LW Perk Pack perk tree balance (specific)

You are using 6 soldiers as base right? So it's a lot easier for you. That's probably why you can make statements like "he barely fights". You woulnd't be making silly statements like that if you played L/I with the regular soldier count of 4. When did I ever say I did one uncompleted run?...

Re: LW Perk Pack perk tree balance (specific)

To be honest i won't read all the post and debate each point, but you obviously never try this perk to tell it's useless. Actually I did try it and it's almost useless by itself, and especially in comparison to having more sword dmg. And you are so far proving my point that it is useless. You talk ...

Re: LW Perk Pack perk tree balance (specific)

Why do you need a concealment guy to "hit the objective"? Do you run out of time a lot or something? You can use the specialist to remote hack the objective. Much more handy.
Are you playing on Legend difficulty btw? Since that's where my feedback is based on.

Re: LW Perk Pack perk tree balance (specific)

When would you ever need 20% better concealment? You can do the snipe tactics just fine with the regular concealment.

Also doing factory with just one dude. Why? You're missing a ton of xp on that mission.

Perk Pack - All classes shouldn't be able to use shotguns

Xcom 2 has a much lower aim falloff for shotguns than XEW so they are usually just as accurate from range as rifles. 100% of my troops use shotties, I rarely (if ever) touch any other weapons since you can equip them on everyone. Shotguns should really be restricted to only Shinobi and Assault. Ther...

Re: Next and last Mod

I really hope it's a strategy layer mod.

Best thing to hope for would be an overall balance change mod, like a small version of EW Long War. Enemy and mission balance changes, no new items. But unfortunately I think those are out of scope for the LW team right now.

Re: eStat_Strength

I thought strength was for Melee defense. Like for example Mutons have lower stats to hit against with melee attacks and they have lots of strength.

Re: LW Perk Pack detailed Balance FEEDBACK - all classes

SHINOBI Fleche is too strong in the early game and the bonus damage should be limited by either sword tier or soldier rank. I don't agree. For Legend difficulty the damage is fine. You are taking a huge risk of activating a pod when you run a long range Fleche. Shadowstrike needs some love, I would...

Re: hp

I recommend using the Second Wave Reborn mod instead https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... =667691437 .

LW Toolbox conflicts with a lot of UI mods as well so I don't recommend using it at all.

LW Perk Pack perk tree balance (specific)

So in this thread I want to specifically talk about the balance of choices on the perk trees. This is not an overall balance thread like the other. Try to keep discussion related to specific perk tree changes you'd like to see. For quick reference of all skills look here https://docs.google.com/spre...

LW Perk Pack Ranger remake idea

So this is a wild idea. If you wish to not act upon this I fully understand. I think two things are currently underutilized. No one has a rifle, and no one really uses a pistol :mrgreen: The new Ranger could be a mix of both these things. Ranger Main Weapon - Flintlock Rifle Damage: 3-5 (same as reg...

Re: LW Perk Pack detailed Balance FEEDBACK - all classes

First of all, great work overall on the Perk Pack. I will give a quick rundown of things that pop to my mind. I've only made a few L/I runs now on the Perk pack. This post does not intend to go into much detail just general feedback. Firstly I don't agree with the Ranger assesment at all. In my opin...

Importing old XCom EU enemies?

Really would like to recreate the old XCom EU/EW in the Xcom 2 engine. Is it possible to ask Firaxis if they could give us (or the LW team) the old Xcom EW enemies source files? Animations, models etc.
