I have no problem with removing reinforcement XP, which I think is a good way to eliminate the farming problem. It'll mean there's an incentive to get out of a mission as quickly as possible and to not stand on the evac flare spamming overwatch for 5 - 10 turns, which felt completely broken. The iss...

Had this happen and caught it ahead of time. Duplication: - Flesch the drone with shinobi Deng or kill with gunner Fannon - Moving into its invisible loot box the soldier will pick up empty loot first, then the loot box appears, then he'll pick up the real loot Save game: https://drive.google.com/op...

+1. Same thing happened to me. I had a Dark Event queued up before my Advent HQ mission. Did the Advent HQ, and then when returning to the Geoscape the Dark Event mission was immediately set to 91% with no time remaining. Boosting with Intel made no difference so the Intel was wasted. Save game atta...

Check out the mod "Quick End Turn". It will reload/overwatch/steady based on what your soldiers have equipped and how many turns they have remaining. It also hunkers all civilians. It's not a perfect substitution for what you want, but it covers nearly all situations and the few times you ...

Fantastic!! Great work and thank you for sticking with it! <3

Yes, it's criminally misleading. It was a cost tradeoff of a seemingly minor UI artifact that turns out to be quite infuriating if you rely on its apparent meaning. I filed a bug report and attached a video to illustrate how pissed people get when they're mislead (a perfect, blind user-test). The di...

Discussion about it here in the bug forums. It's believed to be a subtle mod conflict -- http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 19&t=23543

Until you get that Retaliation and then you're scanning with 7 rebels :| ^^ Yep. Intel retals are "easy" until you get two out of the three pods spawning on both sides of your rebels, while your overpowered landed force is four or five dashes away dealing with a single pod. I lost all fou...

Chris, no save game to offer, but you can see this exact issue happen to Xavier on one of his recent missions:

An all-time favorite is getting shot through high-cover in the middle two of the four high cover spots against a van or truck. Also, the HQ missions seem to have many LOS bugs, including that long row of high cover just before the General's building, and some low cover obstacles that act as high cov...

This soldier hadn't yet picked up a chest and yes I used the arrow to switch to the second row of icons. There was no option to open the chest on either row. I'll provide a save game if it happens again. I suspect a conflict with one or more of the following: - Quick End Turn - Overwatch All - The f...

Just happened tonight. v1.4 I had a Specialist with 15 abilities on her action bar (i.e. full action bar and 1 action on the overflow). She had gotten Run & Gun from a tower hack that was still on the bar as well. When she moved into a chest tile she didn't have any option to pick up the chest. ...

I do see a bug in the laser cannon where it doesn't have the correct attenuation node to let the sound volume fall off when the camera is far from the shot, which would definitely cause your loudness issues while suppressing. Yep. Faleg once had a troop column where he laser-suppressed almost every...

Am I the only one who thinks DZ is overrated? It only provides a benefit if enemies fall into the exact extra area suppression tiles (+1.5 radius), which in my experience, does not happen all that frequently. If the enemies don't fall into those tiles, the skill has absolutely zero marginal value an...

There was a last minute bug-fix regarding disorient+suppression not working correctly (or something similar). It was visible in one of Xavier's videos last week. However, in that video, True Information showed hit percentages of 70-90%, proving that disorient+suppression wasn't being applied correct...

Similar to others, I'm really enjoying the move away from mandatory stealth and toward smaller engagements that are more tactical. I enjoy stealth in most games, but I found its success in 1.2 too dependent on pathing RNG, which I had no control over, and for some reason it always felt like either c...

Cheers. Thanks for the response. As someone with an engineering background, I'd like to have this information and use the mod, but I also want the challenge of beating the game "as intended". If this information is viewed internally as more of something the player shouldn't need to worry a...

There's now a mod that displays Force Level and Vigilance on the strategic map. It actually looks amazingly useful and would give insight into possible future troop movements, decay rates, etc. However, I'm wondering if this information was originally omitted for a strategic reason (beyond the fact ...

I'm also interested in an "official" answer (that's more likely to come from tester than developers). From a totally external PoV (1 completed commander campaign in LW2 1.1-1.2, several completed vanilla XCOM2) i want to point out that A-Team wipe shouldn't be possible in LW2 because an A...

I really want to try an OW Specialist build in 1.3, especially with the Covering Fire improvements and the way the build is more useful sooner. I think it'll be a fun playstyle to double-move/flank and then through Ever Vigilant gain multiple OW shots on flanked enemies.

I hate that suicide missions were a thing in 1.2. I think they're the ultimate cheese. I looked up joinrbs' Lib 3 missions, because in my campaign they were so hard to find and infiltrate, and even he suicided both Lib3s with rookies. Hopefully this gets better in 1.3. And, hopefully 1.3 drops soon ...

1.3 incentivizes more mobility. "Stand and shoot" cooldown spam remains good, but not as mindlessly effective as it once was. In regards to the Demolition nerf: Guys, nerfing ammo costs does literally nothing in X2. If I'm using a skill like Hail of Bullets, Satch Fire, Demo, Area Suppres...

70 living enemies is not a typo, it's a cap on the number of enemies on the map to avoid crazy outlier scenarios. Practically you might never encounter this cap. Well, if there are 70 enemies on the map, I probably have other concerns besides reinforcements. ) Was there a change to somewhat delay r...

It feels like things are moving in a good direction. I agree with all the positives. I really like most of the changes. I'm very anti-stealth because I think it's too RNG dependent based on patrol paths and other things, so I'm really glad to see less emphasis on that mechanic. I also really like t...

2 weeks to 2 months. Both xwynns and joinrbs have started playing other games, and are not even playing a 1.3 preview because too much is still subject to change. A couple of hints I would expect would be JL requesting another round of translations plus xwynns beginning a 1.3 preview campaign. [Of c...
