Re: The missions are all the same
What they need to do is include other biomes for lib 1 - lib 3 missions. The advent city biome gets stale real fast. It reminds me of the forest UFO missions from xcomEU

Re: Serial Nerfs
I don't remember any perks stating wrong facts in regards to pistols. Pistols benefit from hunter instincts and center mass. And they are both worded in a way that it's clear that it's not just primary weapons. Locked on, Lethal, Alpha Mike Foxtrot, you can read form description that they dont work ...

Re: Serial Nerfs
I don't see the benefits of killing trash with the sniper when i have plenty of other classes good at doing just that. Technicals, Grenadiers, Rangers or even Gunners with supression/saturation fire. Since assaults are so extremely situational in this game because advancing into fog of war means mor...

Re: Am I the only one that thinks AWC perks should be visible?
People have a weird feeling when they play a game by the rules they made themselves. For this reason many of us try to convince Pavonis to make this or another change so that our experience can be measured by a developer's standards. My advice to you: drop the chains that keep you from enjoying the ...

Re: "Stealthing Network Tower Missions"
IIRC, with only 100% infiltration, a Sentinel has a 13 tile detection radius (2 more than other enemies). Covert and SMG are -20% radius each. Ghostwalker is -40% radius. The benefits seem to round down, so it winds up being -2 (covert) -2 (smg) -5 (ghostwalker) -2 (200% infiltration) = 2 tiles. No...

Re: Poison Rounds+Pistols
In a game where we have a basic unlimited flashbang capable to stun 50% of the enemies with lower level perk, the devs are afraid that faceoff which needs a greater investment (also a weight 3 AWC skill) will unbalance the game if it can apply ammo to the targets.

Re: 1.2 General feedback after a few hundred hours of play on veteran
I don't really understand why battlescanners have been moved to proving grounds. It was perfectly fine in vanilla. Again same reluctance can be seen with with specialist's scannit protocol. Why move it two tiers later into gunnery seargeant? Don't we have too much shinobi in the game anyway?

I fully support solving this issue. May be adding an extra weapon tier would be beneficial.

1.2 General feedback after a few hundred hours of play on veteran
Hi, this is my honest opinion on Long War 2 experience on veteran difficulty. I will try to not repeat stuff that I am aware that has been discussed in other threads. The Long War 2 is greater then the sum of its individual parts. I like when the mod adds new mechanics and different parts of it conn...

Re: Usefulness of Plasma Grenades/Medics
It's not always about healing itself, it's about clearing the status effects from your soldiers. I had moments when removing the burning or poison from my soldier helped me kill an alien with that soldier. Medics can go hybrid pretty well, just take the medical and revival protocol and you are alrea...

Re: How do Cool Under Pressure & Covering Fire calculate?
So Hunter's instincts can be regarded as +2 damage on overwatch for targets that are moving out of cover?
That's a serious damage bonus for an overwatching sniper if it works so.

Re: How do Cool Under Pressure & Covering Fire calculate?
Does CUP benefit from flanking/exposed +40% crit when it triggers on movement?
How about the hunter instincts +2 damage? Do we benefit from that during overwatches?

Re: Psi Ops still suck?
I don't see the benefits of ANY changes brought to Psi by Pavonis. I would like to get the good old vanilla system back. It worked perfectly fine and I had absolutely no issues with it. It wasn't op, it did not make the other classes useless.
Can we have a mod with vanilla Psi for long war 2?

Is Field Surgeon bugged?
So I took exactly 1 hp damage while having a field surgeon specialist in my team. I still got wounded status with 6 days to heal. Is this WAD?
The tooltip for the field surgeon says that the soldier will have to heal 1 hp less.

Re: Datatap Missions

There is no tactics here involved when you sandwiched from the start. Why there is no minimum spawn distance from the ...

This type of mission is why I currently consider the iron man unplayable. The pod near the data tap is completely unfair and ridiculous.

Dear Pavonis, please try to keep guaranteed alien upgrades away from Dark Events list. Don't confuse the player. Dark events should be things that can actually be countered. If a Dark Event has been completed, then the player will know that he did not detect it, or did no expand to enough regions to...

Make the damage calculation even more unpredictable? Guys, guys, this is basically damage roulette what you have right...
