I believe Dark Event missions have artificlally extended timers so that you have much more time to detect and intercept -- because the tactical ones are permanent.

In that case, it's probably not a trap.

As far as I can tell the Core Avatar Project "Fortress" itself still accumulates points, so you can still eventually run out of things to smash. It's also where any points gained from Avatar Project Dark Events go. The only way to remove Avatar Progress from the Fortress at this time is to...

Replying from this thread here because it's more relevant here-- Moving out of bug reports. OP, you're welcome to contribute to the existing thread on this in Elevated Bug Reports. We very much want a savegame where this is consistently reproducible so we can review the code where it's taking place....

Your soldier also needs to be high enough rank in the first place. You can't give someone their rank 3s if they're still a Squaddie.

Same goes for Officer training in the GTS.

The pistol perks only track up to Level 3, so I think you should be fine to just increase the total number of perk ranks maybe?

As best I can tell it goes 1/2/3/1/2/3/? for ranks - multiply them by four for training times.

I'm not sure there's a easy-ish way to make rendering take time without making it a proving grounds project. This would give the PG some use during lulls and allow you to easily queue up rendering though. Once a PG project is done, most of the manufacturing is moved to Engineering proper. As it sta...

However, this could lead to another issue if the game is balanced with improved Aliens in the end. If someone actually fights every dark even, the end game might become too easy like in the base game. So why not use some sort of hybrid system between the old (LW1) research and the new Dark Events. ...

It varies from mission to mission but should be clearly stated beforehand. If you kill them, I don't think you get anything. If you capture them, you get the listed rewards (e.g. +1 Resistance Contacts, or whatever). Simple risk-reward stuff. I usually opt to Assassinate given strict scheduling and ...

- As it is I almost never go for this harder option in hacking due to the high risk and consequences of failure. Fourth rank, one up from Sergeant, offers the Failsafe perk which completely removes failure risks. Alternatively make an item available early on that helps with hacking stats. I realize...

What I would probably do is; Reduce range penalties to 2 per square beyond 9 (down from 3/square). Reduce base rolls to 2. No change to roll count for moving. Reduce aim penalty for moving to -20. Reduce FITH to -1 but see if it's possible to tie an additional rocket aiming bonus or range penalty re...

From my point of view the tower mission is just too random. You have no chance to get to the console if 1 of the 2 bridges is up and you have to use the other way. On my 2nd tower both bridges were down and usable and I was not even detected until I hacked the console. The 1.1 patch made it so both...

If you want to complain about design decisions, please note that some of the connections between different regions are random, so you might be forced to go the long way if the Blacksite appears on the other side of the globe. That's not true anymore, there are at least 3 connections out of every re...

...that reminds me, everyone remembers that incendiary grenades to like 9-11 damage up front now and disable everything but moving and hiding, right?

Man, that's gonna ruin a Ruler's day.

Wait... if I'm reading this right, a moving technical has both penalties of -30 on ALL scatter rolls, and making SIX of them!? WHAT!? Correct. Like I said, if your tech has 70 Aim, then moves and fires a rocket at a target 14 tiles away, then they need to make 4-6 rolls of less than 25. For each ro...

Anyway, I don't think Pavonis is down for this one and that's totally fine, so I'll just mention for anyone who's interested that these modifications ( or any others you want to make to armor ) are totally possible with the Armor Stat Customiser mod, which is 100% compatible with Long War 2. Cheers...

I remember a lot of post-release reddit threads being "OMG, Stun Lancers OP!" and several of the earliest mods released onto the workshop were to nerf the Stun Lancer. They were an absolute menace if you didn't know how to handle them properly.

FL = Force Level. It's a global value.

And the stun lancers? they can actually make you go fully unconscious? not just stun for two turns? this is a timer mission. Why not just give them insta-kill button? That's been in since vanilla! Very first time I did the blacksite in my first ever campaign after the game had just come out, I had ...

Sounds like you've been stalling pretty hard - unless you're on Rookie.

I'd hit that blacksite ASAP and get the story ball rolling again. If you can, hit as many supply raids and troop movements (esp. in the 3-5 regions) as possible to bring in the resources you need to arm up.

It's then reduced by 30 if the character has moved this turn, and further reduced if the shot is long range (-3 per tile beyond range 9.) So if you move/blue move your aim decreases AND the number of rolls increases? Also everybody seems to be disregarding the aim perks. It seems that steady weapon...

Shameless self-promotion, but here's a post I did that breaks down the scatter mechanics: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 846#p28846

Heh... I'm glad it's no longer "too overpowered" and instead "insanely gimped". And I don't mean that in a combative way because that's closer to my opinion of it too: it's fairly gimped. I was being conservative with my original values, only putting what I felt would be a fairl...

Oh it can be deactivated on Steam. Make sure game is set to not auto-update. Go into the game files, move the DLC folders into ZIP files, delete folders. ...there's a much easier way to do this that doesn't involve changing the game's update settings or moving files around manually. :? 1) Change th...

You have something like a year or so of in game time (variance due to breakthrough dark events) before it even gets close to full, and even then I believe you have a 20 day final countdown type warning so get your act together. Given the number of reports from people losing the game out of nowhere ...

Just get mods. I don't anticipate PI incorporating more weapons unless they can scrape together more money to pay the modellers for their time and effort. Limiting factor for the heavy AR is animations. Damage range is a little too high, especially combined with that capacity. Flamer; how would you ...
