WotC LW2 Idea: Sparks

So, Sparks got some nice buffs in WotC but still missed out on almost all the other new toys given to the rest of XCom. I would like to see Sparks get some love, so here are some ideas: Give SPARKs the same rank-up screen as Xcom so that they can get multiple abilities on each row with AP. To be hon...

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

To get a little back on topic, now that the WotC version of the X2 community highlander is out, which implements all the hooks that Long War 2 needs, does this mean seeing the mod in WotC could be closer than we think?

Re: Dissolving the hero classes into LW2: A proposal

I'm not a fan of removing the faction classes either, and infact wanted to go all in on faction classes, as such that there wasn't just the 3 faction classes, but infact 6 faction classes (Shinobi moved to Reapers, Ranger to Skirmishers, and Psionics to Templars), as well as reworking the Technical...

My Dad works at Long War and knows that it's getting released soon, also he will ban you Seriously though, I am loving WotC, but I am a more "casual" player who gets totally destroyed even on Commander. I think when/if Long War 2 makes it to WotC, it will be so much more fantastic than Lon...

Re: Dissolving the hero classes into LW2: A proposal

I'm not a fan of this idea, but my reasoning is basically that I like the hero classes, and not having them in the game (even if all their abilities and gameplay are replicated elsewhere) will reduce the amount of atmosphere and change the feeling of the game in a negative way

Re: Infiltration vs fatigue

In this thread I talk about a hybrid system which uses both Infiltration AND Fatigue simultaneously, as they both have major gameplay implications. How do you feel about having both? Frankly I think that using both will give the drawbacks of both and the advantages of neither. You'd get squads back...

Re: My Long War of the Chosen ideas

I would favour this approach as it will allow you to better tailor your mission, not tie down a whole squad, just 1 to 4 soldiers (like the Covert ops mechanic) and you will not be able to directly influence the number and power of enemies on the mission. I agree that SITREPs need some changes to b...

Re: My Long War of the Chosen ideas

@Sarge - That is how the Fatigue system currently works in War of the Chosen. You can take tired soldiers and at the end of the mission they become Shaken for a few days and get a negative trait most of the time (for example Fear of XYZ). The system works great in game actually, as in you get soft ...

Re: My Long War of the Chosen ideas

I updated the OP with a system where you have trees more like the lw2 awc but also gives you limited access to class abilities. I love the discussion that's going on in this thread. So many different ways to look at mechanics. JulianSkies, you can potentially get infinite AP by either farming the Ch...

Re: My Long War of the Chosen ideas

[*] New maps I like how they added new Environments but i think it could be better used than just randomly appear on a number of missions. The Tunnels maps are interesting with a lot of LoS blockers making some classes like Assaults more useful while the good old DfA Sniper will suck. It would be n...

My Long War of the Chosen ideas

So, I assume this mod is eventually going to make it to War of the Chosen. I have been thinking about the new mechanics and how they work alongside the old mechanics, and there are obviously some things that conflict - having soldiers infiltrating as well as having them tired, etc both seem to serve...

Re: suggestions: wotc

I think the tired mechanic could still fit in if it's changed to work in a different way. I'm thinking it should be reserved only for soldiers they go out on covert Ops. Right now covert Ops seem far too good in terms of the risk vs reward, and having to sickbay a soldier for a few days or risk a ne...

I just wish there were more ways to get your hands on Engineers and Scientists.

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

I think Long War 2 will definitely need a balance pass to work with the new expansion. There is so much stuff added, than it will likely cause some issues with the way LW2 handles things balance wise. It would be extremely unlikely for new content to have no real effect on the finely-tuned balance o...
