What's weird is that you get +20 crit from the advanced laser sight. So the games knows you are point blank and applies the full laser sight proximity bonus, but it doesn't recognize you as being point blank for the to hit bonus.

The important timer is no longer in the top right corner, it's now in the top left.

Regarding the translations: I understand the constraints and the additional work that is required here, but unless I'm completely mistaken all supported languages use arabic numbers, so if the Tradecraft Tooltip contains a simple (-25%) and you want to rebalance it later down the road, changing the ...

My first LW2 campaign is coming to a close and it’s time to consolidate my thoughts on this experience. Before I do that, let me say that I enjoyed the campaign a lot. It was amazing to see this different approach to the XCOM2 experience and I want to thank the Pavonis Interactive team for putting t...

Can't remember the exact details, but I think you can move the mod folder to folder for non-steam mods, as if you downloaded it from the nexus. Then unsubscribe from the mod in Steam and just use the version that is now considered non-steam.

Red Fog definitely changes how you play. As for making the game easier? Well, probably a tiny little bit ;) I think you are underselling red fog here by a significant margin. There are a lot of factors that give a clear advantage to XCOM here: Most of the time you have some sort of ablative equippe...

That only works if you score your kill with the first shot from Double Tap (in which case you didn't need Double Tap anyway). If the 2nd shot from Double Tap is the killing blow then DfA doesn't trigger so you can't steady up.

I think Marbs mostly tried to play "proper" missions, so he had to skip a lot of the missions coming up. I'd say in the current state of 1.2 you have to either abuse Stealth missions or 0% Supply Raid/Troop Column missions to be successful, and he did neither of these.

I'll keep my final judgement for when I actually played with it. I'm just not a big fan of RNG that has no counters. If there was a late game perk that you could take to counter enemy banging resistance or maybe repeated flashbangs lowering the value I'd feel much better. Just not a fan of "pra...

Except that you can only hit the same target once. There's a new restriction on Rapid Reaction and Sentinel so that overwatch shots need to be on separate targets. And while we're talking about this restriction: when does this counter reset? If I overwatch during my own turn with Rapid Reaction and ...

Yes, JoINrbs and Xavier are two of the VERY FEW who are playing vanilla, no save scum, no reload, no 0% supply raid, no True Concealment, Legend campaigns. Find me someone else on YouTube who's playing under those conditions. Perfidious Pete is one of the few who attempted unmodded-LW2 Legend and g...

and when a new player plays something which says it'll have 6-9 enemies and then fights 16 they're probably going to be confused. I don't think they'll be any more or less confused if it just says "Extremely Light" and they still fight these many enemies. Since it is labeled as "Base...

You have several well known bugs. For Full Override (capture MECs) : the mission must be a mission where you recover corpses (if you evac the hacker, the effect is lost) Well, I just gained a resistance MEC from a recruitment raid retaliation, which is a mission you evac from. The only thing that I...

If you can see all the AWC perks in advance you're going to select soldiers for your team which have the ideal AWC perks that you want. That turns the "input RNG" designed to make your soldiers different in every playthrough into a maximization game where you select the best AWC soldier a...

Most of the pros and cons have probably been mentioned in the previous discussions on this topic: AWC Balance: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25453 Thoughts on revealing the AWC soldier perks?: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=24654

As I understand it even a faceless in a region where you're not collecting supplies will reduce your income.

Really interesting information in the sheet, so I decided to create a similar one for my own (still ongoing) campaign (1.1->1.2 Campaign; No Grazing, Aiming Angles, AWC Perk Reveal): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wZC6AXZn9z6yk7Szt3gqHvmzXD5ppIZ84pFrku7spaw/edit#gid=0 I'll try to add additi...

This looks like it's a mission from the "Additional Mission Types" mod and is called "Rescue VIP from rioting city". So just check the objective beforehand and you can avoid them if you see this as the objective.

seananigans wrote: Asia has 4 bars and 2 dots, etc.

Little known fact here: the Asia bonus can be unlocked by contacting only 3 of the 4 regions and building a tower in each. The game only seems to check if bars+dots = regions+towers.

I see this misconception a lot. One of the main ways to make decision-making interesting is withhold perfect information from the player. That's why there is a fog of war. That's why the hit mechanic is random . That's why procedural maps with random pod placement are better than having fixed ones ...

I just can't follow the reasoning that revealing or not revealing the AWC perks has any impact on their power. Having them hidden doesn't make the ability any less powerful, it just makes getting that ability luck based. The goal shouldn't be to have overpowered inaccessible abilities but rather bal...

I just don't see how restricting them to areas you have contacted is a bad thing. The argument that this changes the best strategy to not expand is pointless. There's plenty of incentive to expand: you need to reach story mission locations, you need more income and you want to unlock continent boni ...

Thanks for the test for clearing that one up
