Re: LoS seriously bugged in 1.3

I think the issue comes from low cover terrain that you can walk over when on the edge of the detection range. The tile won't show the indicator, and the pathing AI won't recognize it either. It'll mark the destination as safe, but it really isn't. It's not new in 1.3. No, it was on flat ground. Ne...

LoS seriously bugged in 1.3

LoS always worked strange in XCOM, but this new thing I often encounter in 1.3 seems to be a new bug. The bug is drones and sentries have larger line if sight then red squares indicate, by exactly one tile. Squad concealed, enemy in full view, I try to move a soldier right along the enemy field of v...

Re: [INI] CovertnessValue & CovertnessWeight

So my hunch *was* correct :) Anyway, any idea what this item is?...
+EquipmentCovertness=(Itemname="FreeKillUpgrade_Sup", CovertnessValue=0f, CovertnessWeight=0.75f)

[INI] CovertnessValue & CovertnessWeight

I've been delving into ini-files, specifically XComLW_InfiltrationSettings.ini. Every piece of equipment has two values assigned to define its impact on infiltration time, for example +ItemCategoryCovertness=(CategoryName="ammo", CovertnessValue=100f, CovertnessWeight=0.2f) +ItemCategoryCo...

Re: Psi Ops still suck?

Wait. If I train Shism, Soul Steal and Soul Merge, I won't be able to train ANY more abilities and thus can not advanve beyond mystic? Really? Or Psi can learn both abilities of the same level?

Re: Quick question about Ever vigilant

Thanks!
Now I wonder about Hunter Protocol. What will happen when you dash your SPARK right to an unactivated pod?.. I mean, do units visible via squadsight (from a concealed shinobi for example) considered as "revealed"?

Quick question about Ever vigilant

What happens when a soldier with this perk dashes right towards an unactivated pod and activates it? Will he gain overwatch before pod activates? Will overwatch shots trigger on enemy scattering?

Re: Anyone else struggling W/Smash & Grab Missions?

You start unconcealed and pods are usually tightly packed in the center. It's risky to go right into the compaund. Try to pull a pod or two away and deal with them first, and then engage the rest. Snapshot snipers should be pretty good for this mission, imo. Don't let the timer push you too hard :) ...

1.3 stealth concerns

You know, I actually liked stealthing missions in 1.2. First, very thematic. Second, between full stealth missions (hacks and jail breaks), randezvous, and actuall combat missions (troop columns, liberations, destroy relay, extracts and rest) it provided a very nice change of pace. I liked that very...

Re: Solution for 0% column ambush/supply raids.

Lag won't do. I had a similar idea though: if you attempt these missions underinfiltrated your soldiers will get additional wounds in the end of the battle (lose a percentile of their health proportional to underinfiltration). Basically emulate the battle fatique mechanics from LW1. It could be auto...

Looked through mods config files, some of them do allow to change button order! But only some, strangely :/

Is there a way to change order of buttons?

I have millions UI mods that add millions new buttons to soldier commands list, like "Overwatch all", "Overwatch others", "Preview LoS" etc. And some of them appear in really awkward places. For example, I use "Preview LoS" like a couple of times per campaign ...

1.2 Campaign feedback + some thoughts on 1.3

1.2 feedback So far I played several campaigns, only one finished though. Did not play vanilla xcom 2 at all. I only bought the game 'cause of the LW2, actually, as vanilla had really bad reviews. I enjoyed LW1 a lot, so I expected a good revision, and I was not disappointed. First campain I played...

Re: Release for Patch 1.3

Your. Question. Just. Killed. My. Rookie!!!!

We all want to know the answer to that question, but they never answer. I believe the intended schedule was about a patch a month (judging from the first two). But it's April already, no March patch.
