All balance requests really need the following information attached: - What difficulty are you playing on? - Are you playing pure Ironman? Ever reloaded a bad pull? Restarted a mission that ended in a wipe? - Do you type console commands to move your soldiers? - What game changing mods do you use? T...

6-9 what though? The missions are generated using Mission Schedules, but RNFs and Turrets aren't included in the Mission Schedules, so it's actually non-trivial to work out how many enemies can be on a mission. JoINrbs, thanks for the response and while everything you said is absolutely right, I wo...

+1 I'm guessing, but speaking as a UI designer, these issues normally occur because both the UI designers and the beta testers either know or are told what these words really mean, thus the problem never appears. Avoiding these problems requires another level of empathy that must be imagined by the ...

I agree with MacroNova. Tongue Grab was terrifying enough and still required immediate attention before it became an instant death sentence.

xwynns fought either 3 or 4 Faceless on one Rendevous mission, which was the first time I'd seen more than 2 spawn.

That's really helpful to have the information presented this way, chronologically, with all the summary information as well as direct YouTube links. Very nice. Thank you. )

I love mine as well! He destroys cover nearly as well as a Sapper grenadier (i.e. not much at all) and I can BOMB away without regret.

joinrbs , did you keep track of the number of small squad stealth missions you did in your last 1.2 campaign and your success rate? I thought I remembered you saying somewhere that you failed quite a few. Do you know your overall success percentage? How hard do you want it to be for an expert playe...

It doesn't play nice with Long Watch, if you don't take Long Watch it works fine though. Good to know. Thank you. Fortunately, I don't have Long Watch. BTW, I noticed on reddit someone saying that Aim/Hunker was apparently breaking Steady Aim from stocks. Not sure if that's a known issue. It doesn'...

I see that Guardian is being removed from the Sharpshooter list in the next patch. Is this because it's broken?

Asking because one of my Sharpshooter's has it as his first Defensive skill available.

I rolled Flesche (8-day training) on my Gunner. I haven't decided if I'll try it, but at least it's interesting, and I'd take that all day any day over seeing Salvo and Biggest Booms on absolutely every soldier in my roster. The grenade perks are infuriating. They're an off-shoot of the reality that...

Biggest Booms shows up constantly on Sharpshooters. Same for Volatile Mix. Clearly they're OP, though they seem absent from all the balance discussions. However, revealing all the perks is immeasurably more powerful than the current implementation. Consider leveling your Sharpshooter through Biggest...

This is the first time I've run across this issue in either vanilla XCOM2 or LW2 (1.2). On this specific map, when starting on the roof of a church, the Blue/Yellow movement indicators were completely broken -- with the Blue boundary indicators being OUTSIDE the Yellow indicators. Screenshot and Sav...

The problem with CPL Specialist is not so much that Revival Protocol is too valuable or OP. I've actually taken Interference once or twice myself. The real issue, IMO, is that Covering Fire is so utterly worthless. I can't think of a worse perk in the game. Why would anyone ever want to waste an ove...

First, kudos to the entire LW team. As much as some of us complain about the issues we'd like to see improved, LW2 has brought me back to XCOM and exceeded Vanilla in so many ways. I also LOVE the Coil weapons so much I think Plasma should have been removed the game, as they're such a letdown by com...

I would love to see corpses be available from Blacksites. This would solve two problems at once. Currently there's zero incentive to non-stealth a Blacksite. Xavier stealths all of his. Adding corpses and perhaps toning down the reinforcement timer would change Blacksites to more of an Advent HQ-typ...

My grenadier with Sapper launched a plasma grenade at a piece of low cover two Mutons were using; the grenade clearly destroyed the cover. I could also move a soldier onto the location the cover used to be at- it was previously unpathable. However, the back Muton still somehow has low cover from my...

As vague idea- how about say 200 supplies, boosts kill experience by 100%, and unlocking at say Staff Sergeant rank? This works out to be around +15% experience in the optimal scenario, if you kill everything on the map. Given that it's not retroactive, I think I could definitely see myself taking ...

Agreed, it should boost all experience sources, but much less than +33% in this case, because it should not be a no brainer pick. Probably +15-20% XP for 150 supplies is a good balance in most games. Pricey, but significant interest. As for reinforcements, yes they give XP and they should definitiv...

How about we nerf 0% and ALSO make Supply Raids easier to detect??? The reason people are (allegedly) running them at 0% is because the infiltration timers are obscenely low and they're generally either at Heavy+ or Swarming levels.... What is the point of even detecting these at such ridiculous tim...

Yep, I had the same issue in 1.2.

I fired a rocket that likely caught some of the Van. No damage was visible to the van, however, no one could subsequently hack the door.

I am not so familiar with save files but I think this is evident error in calculating principles. Save games can be found in: Documents/my games/XCOM2/XComGame/SaveData Sort by date and the most recent will be at the top. Names are of the form "save126". You can copy the save file and att...

Not sure if related, but I had a crash during a mission (playing Ironman). I reloaded whatever the auto-save was, and my Shinobi lost a number of his abilities, including grapple, ghostwalker, both grenades disappeared, and he was unable to pick up a fallen soldier. He could still shoot/overwatch/Co...

The same thing just happened on Xavier's (xwynns) last episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeKSwK1qJZU&feature=youtu.be&t=1h12m44s He shrugged it off as only removing the Overwatch component but not the Suppression component, however, even after moving his soldier he still had the suppr...

You can see this happen in Marbozir's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XBIlGd1T48

Two pips disappear after he Evacs and the Facility disappears as well.
