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

Until (if ever) the expansion gets LW2 support, I'm not interested. I was somewhat disappointed by vanilla Xcom2, it's the mods and mainly LW2 that make it a great game for me. But I don't mind waiting a few years, I've got other things to do other than getting hyped or frustrated over videogames :...

Er, no, but I'd sure like to.

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

I hate to say it, but I'm really leaning toward just sticking with lw2 and skipping the expansion altogether. Even if they aren't compatible at the expansion's launch, I'm reasonably certain they will be made compatible eventually. Might be a year or so later (like with LW2's official launch roughl...

Re: Is underinfiltrating 1 enemy-count level bearable?

I am doing a Veteran Campaign, and the current date is December 6 2035. I need to destroy an Alien Relay in an ADVENT Strength 4 region so I can prevent the data leak. However the given infiltration time is not enough (3 Days 6 Hours), and my B team of six members can only infiltrate at 93%, even w...

Re: Is Drone Stun supposed to work on machines?

Because they are robots. These stuns, presumably, were designed against humans, to keep the peace. A reasonable point, but it is leaning toward the realism side of things. In Sci-fi, electric shocks do inexplicable things to computers and robots too, temporary stunning included. XCOM is definitely ...

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

I really hope we don't have to make a decision- either play expansion OR LW2. That would suck. LW1 and LW2 make the base games 3x as good. I'm very happy that 2k is releasing an expansion, but they seriously need to coordinate with the LW crew, whenever and wherever possible. Indeed. Frankly, I'm d...

Re: 1.5?

Any official word or unofficial thoughts about the arrival (or lack thereof) of lw 1.5, now that we have only 10ish weeks before the release of a vanilla expansion that's sure to complicate matters? We are still testing fixes for a few stubborn bugs, and looking at some smallish mid/late game balan...

Re: 1.5?

What? Read the patch notes thread or something. There's your thoughts. It's coming eventually, what retarded shit is this 'or lack thereof' crap If there are likely to be compatability issues between lw and the expansion, PI could decide to postpone most/all work on lw until they know what they hav...

Indeed. But I'd go beyond hope and say that I've been enjoying lw2 so much that I may require such before I'm willing to buy the expansion.

Squad size balance

I'm curious . . . Were the longwar mods intended for standard-sized squads, or larger squads using the toolbox?
