Another interesting thing I noticed: In the trailers, a lot of the XCOM operatives are using what looks like SMGs. I wonder if these SMGs will clash with the ones in Long War 2?

haha I know. I just hope someone like JL can come and explain their plans for dealing with this. Obviously I doubt everyone will have the DLC, which could make things difficult

Yeah I think we should SUMMON THE DEVS.


uh em......

When is the next release?

See, now they have to come here and kill some rookies.

Is there a link to the trailer?

EDIT: Oops wrong link, updated

I really hope Long War can be updated to work with this

It would be really nice if Long War 2 could be balanced around Alien Hunters. It kind of sucks not being able to play a DLC I paid for properly Of course all balancing would have to be optional so as to not punish people who didn't buy it. I think making the alien nest an extra poi that doesn't wast...

So wait, what's the point of uninstalling the Alien Hunters DLC when I can just disable it in the New Game menu?

Thanks for the extremely long response. That was quite an interesting read. There are already mods I'm interested in which use the Highlander, so I might try to get that working with Long War 2, since Long War 2 has pretty much made the vanilla game unplayable (that's a compliment) and I want some o...

As you know, filling any utility slot reduces your mobility by 1.

Does the grenadier also lose 1 mobility for their extra support/frag grenades that they get through perks?

Oh?

I'd bet you didn't test Shredder/Shredstorm yet. They are probably the most OP items in the game (some changes to nerf them are in 1.3 but i'm not sure it will be enough). Not yet. Good to know! If i was to design my own system for armors it would be something like this : No armor (civilian clothes...

I do see some similarities between the classes. And I do think the gunner is too mobile. But they still all have their roles

I'd love to see something like xskin system ported to long war 2 (and the community Highlander)

So I thought of this idea in the middle of a lecture today. I don't know how to mod, but I've been meaning to learn, so maybe now is a good time. Anyway the mod is as follows: The ADVENT have secret TV stations littered around the map. As long as these remain operational, they will all increase the ...

I've only unlocked the EXO suit in my game, I am mainly going off this: http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Armor_(LW2) So it seems a little strange to me that Medium armor gives the best protection. I understand the direction Pavonis was going with it though Light armor is for mobiity and extra abil...

From my understanding, the Highlander contains all of the same event hooks as added by Long War 2, but none of the gameplay changes. Is that correct? I am not a modder (but am trying to start) and don't really know the difference. If it is, I have some questions. 1. Why doesn't Long War 2 just run a...

I know it doesn't make much sense, but adding rendering to the Defence Matrix might actually give me a reason to build that (otherwise mostly useless) room.

The DM should be made more useful in general

Commander we don't have enough recruits to field a full squad...

What we need is a REINFORCEMENTS indicator at the top-left of these forums that switches from green to yellow to red as the patch gets closer. I'd say with Xwynns starting up a 1.3 LP and the second batch of translation done, we're at yellow. Please go to red! Great. Now half the rookies are panick...

Finding an “Elite” weapon attachment, thinking that additional tiers of weapon attachments were introduced only to then find out that it was just a needless rename of Superior Attachments I don't understand this either. It's a small change though, and not exactly gamebreaking, so I guess we will ge...

I also think a +1 buff to bonus damage would be good.

I actually like the new pod mechanics. In 1.2 it seemed like you would either get 4 pods at once, or they would be extremely far apart, and it was really random how each game would play out. Which had a really weird and unbalanced effect on mission difficulty In 1.3 it seems to be (based entirely on...

As much as I liked Guerilla War, I have to agree with the naysayers here. I tried mixing the Extract Corpses mod with LW2, and there's a really good reason it's not included by default. People are understating how powerful it is. I know it doesn't feel strong, because it's only a little bit extra c...

I'm no expert, but if it's breaking again after one session, that sounds to me like it could be a steam cloud bug. I don't even know if xcom 2 has steam cloud support, but if it does, you might want to disable it

The game loops through each squaddie and asks the following series of questions: Is it the squad member an Officer? If yes, then continue, else skip this member. Does the member have a higher Officer Rank than any previous highest member? If highest, mark as highest. If lower, then skip. If equal, ...
