Re: Why sometimes I can´t decrease activity with infiltration?
Now I understand it totally. So we can sometimes know wich is the exact amount of aliens. In my las example was a mission that marked Very heavy (28-30) and after boosting (-3 levels mean -4.5 aliens) I had heavy (25-27), so the only way to do this works is that my "Very Heavy" meant 30 al...

Re: 0% Supply Raids are... really hard
I agree, to me overcrowded missions are pure hell. I don't think I am the best player in the world neither the worst, but I can't figure how the hell people are consistently winning these. And worse, it seem that they talk like if these missions were a piece of cake and had to be hardened in order t...

Re: Missing intel packages and loot
I confirm it happens to me too. I haven't reported because I thougth it was intended to balance game (to not receive forever free power, contacts, mecs and engis/sciens).

Re: Why sometimes I can´t decrease activity with infiltration?
I am still quite confused with this matter because I have situations that I can't match with the mechanics I know (from you and ufopaedia). For example this one has just happened: Mission: Supply Raid Region Srength: 8 Activity at 100%: Very heavy Boosted at 114% Activity at 200%: Heavy. I thougth i...

I would like to know the way in what experienced players manage the materiel. What things do you never sell? What things are sold instantly?, How and when render things, and which?.

Re: Am I the only one that thinks AWC perks should be visible?
I thought about the matter and I like the point of know what we'll have and decide according to it, but also enjoy the point of random perks that give us unusual soldiers. But definitively what don't like is a mixture because (in my case) at the end I have only 3 options (this soldier is elegible, t...

When is the intel job prohibiton applied?
I won a intel raid mission, but still suffered the intel prohibition. Why?
I lost 2 rebels and the device took some damage, but it never was destroyed neither and the end mission report said me that was succesful.

Re: Enemies shooting at Xcom while bound by Vipers
To me is terrible, that perk usually means instadeatch. So at the end of the turn with vipers we must have at least a chance to dissable them if everithing went wrong (snd they dodge a lot). like suppresion, flashbang, nails, explosive or anithing but never let the last chance to a XX % action. As s...

...Ultimately i think it's something where the default setting can't please everyone and that's why it's an option we can change. We must just accept that ini options are also options and nothing prevents us from changing them. If the developers didn't want us to show the AWC perks, the hidden stat...

Re: Flanking : an exploit ?

Re: Am I the only one that thinks AWC perks should be visible?
In my case the output is not that I create more different soldiers. In my case the current way makes soldiers available or not available for AWC, for example if I see volatile mix and covering fire on my sniper I just don't spend 8, 10 or 12 days (depending on wich 2 perks upgrade) to see if the lot...

Re: Am I the only one that thinks AWC perks should be visible?
Then I think I missed the question. I asked because I feel much more logical have visible perks and maybe most of players too. Maybe the question should be: Do you like that AWC perks are invisible? and why? Because I can't find a reason. In the example of AWC huge retraining times I understood it, ...

Am I the only one that thinks AWC perks should be visible?
I think hidding AWC perks is very punishing in addition to the enormous amount of time we need to retrain a soldier. I get the point of having exagerated retraining times in order to make that our decissions be almost definitive. But with random perks we actually don't know what we are doing exactly...

I am quite confused, because I have currently two towers available on diferent regions, one has strength 5 and another strength 9, but both show Activity: Moderate on squad screen. Is the activity fixed for these missions?
And if it is, is the same for the facilty assault?

Re: Psi Ops still suck?
I suggest a change in the infiltration time of psi operatives. Maybe half time as a rookie or a shinobi. I think everybody has his A-Team made of 4 or 5 soldiers and if we have the possibility of add more soldiers (good infiltration, materiel, especial mission, etc) we add soldiers that match well w...

The hack thing was impossible to reach, he was sorrounded on a corner and died.
The dark event that increases cost of recruits trigered... I already had the free rookies bonus on my home continent.

Re: Would you think valid a strategy based in one suicide shinobi?
It'll work if it's a Hack Workstation mission, but not if it's a Data Recovery mission. No need to sacrifice a shinobi, can just use a rookie. Yes it is a hack thing on station, and yes is better to buy the fastes rookie and send to die, I didn't realised that... I am afraid it is too late because ...

Would you think valid a strategy based in one suicide shinobi?
I have just received advise of a dark event mission with 2 days left. It needs to hack something on advent station. My idea is simple, I will chose a 17 mobilty shinobi, unequip all, chose a smg and will try to sneak up to one blue movement to the objective, then hack it and probably die.

Re: Why sometimes I can´t decrease activity with infiltration?
Thanks a lot for answer. I thought that it worked on fixed steps, I thought that an 100% Extremely light was the same as a 124% extremely light. So (correct me if I am wrong) a longer infiltration time can decrease alien numbers instead the description of alert was the same, for example the E-L 100%...
