I have to say I'm starting to wonder the same thing as the OP. I've noticed since I started playing 1.3 that a couple of the enemies were behind full cover but actually showed up as flanked. I've only been playing this version for about a week, but i've noticed a lot of my troops standing straight ...

Yes gambler's fallacy is a very important part of this discussion. Just because you have been hit by three 30% shots in a row, does not make the next 30% shot any less likely to land. It is still just 30%. Related: the actual chance of a 78% shot hitting 78 times out of 100 times is actually quite s...

While we're on the subject of really bad luck, I once rolled 7 nine times in a row on two six-sided dice, which is approximately a 0.00000992% chance, or about 1 in 10 million. There are so many humans now, it's not a question of if something incredibly unlikely is going to happen, it's a question o...

1) Ten days is a lot more significant when you take into account the huge infiltration times for the golden path missions. Think of it this way: would you rather have your A-team out infiltrating for 25 days straight, or three consecutive infiltrations of 10 days? What if you get a hunter UFO on day...

No, Alketi, I agree completely. I may have been coming off as though I think Danger Zone is OP but actually I agree that the tree seems pretty well balanced right now. My point was that Mayhem + Danger Zone + CUP + Lockdown would be pretty overpowered if it were possible. Mayhem + CUP is actually ve...

It can absolutely be frustrating. Trust me, I was also very frustrated by it during my first campaign, but I promise the player has way more control over it than it seems at first. Like all the RNG in XCOM, it is all about how you mitigate and control the RNG -- of course it takes a lot of practice ...

He may be referring to his "RemoveFortressDoom not working" thread, which received its first reply not long after he made the post saying it didn't have any replies.

Although the language doesn't strike me as particularly neutral, so maybe he did delete the one he's talking about.

Ok guys let's try to stay constructive, fighting flames with more flames is just silly. Hermes may be coming off as a bit entitled, but he does bring up a good point: If PI is moving towards the professional world of game development, things like pop-ups or notifications telling you that your versio...

Hmmm.... Not sure about this, but it seems as though you can no longer go negative on monthly income? If you remember, in 1.2, it was advantageous to spend all your money before the end of the month if your income was in the red, since your actual supply count could not go negative. So far I haven't...

The reason that CUP + Sentinel/RR is allowed and CUP + Danger Zone is not is because Sentinel only allows 2 shots, Rapid Reaction allows 3 sometimes. Danger Zone makes it much easier to attain the maximum number of area suppression shots you can take if you have an elite expanded magazine, 5 shots. ...

As far as I can tell, Skymods is a mirror for the steam workshop, which I'm pretty sure isn't strictly legal, so the fact that the Skymods download doesn't work is really of no concern to anyone here. The only official upload sites for LW2 are on Steam Workshop and the Nexus, please download from on...

I thought SLG stood for Shen's Last Gift.

Now I'm just confused

What bountygiver said sounds correct.

That said though, in 1.3, a soldier with Covering Fire will add an aim debuff to anything he shoots at which should help a ton.

@davibones, my suggestion doesn't affect your playstyle at all. You can still pick between tanky OW vs suppression OW. I'm not sure why you disagree? Do you feel having both CUP and danger zone is overpowered? I don't think I have the experience to say that it's OP without even trying it, I guess I...

For the sake of clarity: ADVENT Strength is per-region and visible, and slowly moves towards regions with high Vigilance. Vigilance is per-region and hidden (visible with the mod you are using, of course) and is caused by XCOM activity. Force Level (FL) is hidden and global; There is one value for F...

Oh jeez That is totally my new head-canon. Thank you for the stupid grin I will now have every time I put a soldier in the AWC

Last night I had rain starting to pour while on that loading screen. I thought of the dog art thingy (forgot the name for the artsty frame thing) getting ruined by misterious indoor rainining. EDIT: "painting". the word was "painting". I need another coffee. Intentional or not, ...

Ok, let's see if I can get this right... On Legend and Commander difficulties, each enemy gets a 33% chance to get a single action point if the pod activates during the alien turn (20% on Veteran, 0% on Rookie). Once an enemy has received an action point, all subsequent checks for action points are ...

No worries just trying to spread positivity where I can :D I know what you mean about Field surgeon, I don't really like the medic spec very much in LW2. Interference can be useful though. If you think about all the times you use combat protocol to pop an overwatch (I know I do it a lot) you could h...

Sorting the save files by "Date modified" may help.

To actually figure it out though you just need to open the file in a text editor (notepad will work but notepad++ will make it a bit easier) and about 30-40 characters you will find the actual save's name which is listed in-game.

I disagree. Maybe I'm a scrub that goes for non-ideal builds, but imo there are two distinct OW builds for gunners: Suppression Gunner: Grazing Fire, Lockdown, Mayhem, (anything), Danger Zone, (anything), Traverse Fire OW Tank Gunner: Combatives, Formidable, (anything), (anything), CUP, Kill Zone, T...

It does kinda suck when a build you really like gets messed up by a patch, but think of it this way: There is probably at least one build that you will really like, which was not possible before the patch... You just have to experiment and find it.

And that's part of the fun, no?

Problem with the proving ground rendering suggestion is it would delay tracer rounds, nanofibre vests, anything that requires an autopsy, and most importantly, laser weapons, for an amount of time almost completely at the mercy of rng -- you need 5 alloys 3 elerium to start hybrid materials, you sta...

My only input to this thread is: I miss Battle Rifles

They were like the ugly duckling of Long War 1. No one really paid them any attention, but to me they were beautiful!

No, unfortunately. In fact, if you are not using the sniper rifle, all active skills on the tree are 100% useless. Notably, the there are no MSGT perks which will do anything for the build. I don't know exactly what your desired flavor consists of, but I find that assaults make the best pistoleers. ...
