So what do you think about having an extra trait on rapid holotargeting? Add "Can equip SMGs/rifles." I just added rifles to the sharpshooter class in the ini files (which also adds SMGs.) Then I equip my holo-sharps ("spotters") with either rifles or SMGs and my regular snipers...

Johnny you are killing me. I know you can't legally tell us If the game will be updated/compatible with LW2. The base game just isn't the same without your guys flavor to it. Its like eating popcorn without butter it's okay but the butter makes it pop. No what makes it pop is the heat. Touche ;)

What do you mean about the "random"? Everyone has the same map, mobs, soldiers, time, gear, etc etc... I think he means the RNG (Random Number Generation.) Two players use essentially the same tactics to score an ideal win, but one player gets screwed over by RNG - missing 90% shots left ...

My bad

The expiration time is how long before the mission will expire. This number is shown on the world map and also in the top right on the squad select screen. The base infiltration time only appears on the squad select screen and represent how much time your currently selected squad will need to reach ...

Yeah, I would LOVE to see something like that in place of concussion rocket.

In my opinion either Fireaxis have identified LW2 involves too few players but that seems hardly the case with the number of subscriptions, and then hope Pavonis will fix asap any problems. Either they'll provide a pre version to Pavonis to ensure they check and prepare the problems of compatibilit...

Alas LW2 is also a stealth game. I'll take two basic examples: - Civil can be hidden 3 squares away behind an non large obstacle and reveal if you don't bother check if you can move behind an obstacle to be sure there's no civil. The problem is check that is total boredom gameplay. - Drone can have...

I think stealth is right were it should be in 1.4. That is to say, it CAN be done, but it's not EASY. In 1.2, stealthing was SO EASY that it was basically the default play style, as nmkaplan suggests. There were relatively few mission types where stealthing over to the objective, grabbing it and the...

I am 100% certain they are specifically waiting until after the expansion because release 1.5 too close just means they're going to have to readjust everything right after. They're going to keep readjusting things right after, anyway. As soon as they released 1.1, they began working on fixes and ba...

Woo never played XCOM2, that a bit partisan or you really lack of time to play. LW2 is great but is nowhere replacing XCOM2, too different to do it. A little bit of both, TBH. No disrespect intended to vanilla XCOM2, but everything I've heard about it makes me prefer LW2's methodology, hands down. ...

Mouse-wheel scrolling works fine in this forum for me. Honestly, this sounds like a browser problem (or maybe a mouse problem) rather than a website problem.

Thanks for the response! I was assuming it was AWC, but it may be wounded soldiers. On a related note, I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow "lock" or "bind" certain equipment to soldiers so that we can still free up all equipment in general, but anything "lock...

Zork wrote:What means AO?

AO is "Area of Operations." Basically, the tactical map for this mission. Bradford will often refer to it as "the AO" in his little speeches, so sometimes we do, too.

Zork wrote: No in XCOM2 they evac instantly, you are meaning LW2.

My apologies. I went straight to LW2, so I don't know how vanilla XCOM2 differs.

EDIT: Anyway that's one more bug case, because the flag showing conceal break is shown even if final destination is concealed, or at least should. But I know this bug from XCOM2 too and most often try put care check all around the path. As Im' exasperated by all the detections problems now I don't ...

Rescuing rebels in retaliations is the same as rescuing civvies in the first game's terror missions: Your objective is to rescue the unarmed squishies, but your tactics should focus on killing all the aliens before they have too many (read: any) chances to fire. Try not to activate more than one pod...

Thanks a lot to all of you for the answers. This helps a lot. 2: There's a chance that there are still more. In 1.4 the most Haven-Faceless I've seen on a Rendezvous mission so far is 2 (If you see a Faceless patrolling with ADVENT who begins in alien form - ie: you don't get to see/hear him shapes...

A third case is related to enemies seen from a soldier in conceal mode, an a soldier not in conceal mode. The path and destination don't show any enemy sighted, I'm almost sure I see all enemies with the soldier in conceal mode, and the movement of the soldier not in conceal mode alert the pod. I c...

1st - Is there any way to see that a Haven is infested with faceless other than the "unknown cause" losses in the monthly report? 2nd - If a Soldier is stationed as advisor and a Spy Mission was triggered and done, are all Faceless eliminated or is there a chance that not all have been fo...

Wouldja lookit that? I swore that rookie was a goner, but he just pulled through!

You'll probably need someone to update the English Long War 2 UFOPaedia before you start translating it. The current webpage appears to be out of date (for example, there's no mention of the new Smash n Grab mission type added in 1.3/1.4)

Carry a mindshield for all frontline is quite a burden. I agree that putting a mindshield on every soldier would be excessive. It's an option if you're really THAT annoyed by lancers KO'ing your soldiers, but in my experience it's not really necessary. I have yet to actually build a mind shield, my...

Anything that gives me more places to put engineers is welcome (primarily because it will shut Lily up.)

I want to set Lily Shen on fire. I have 1 unstaffed engineer. There is NOTHING for me to do with him. I'm not about to assign him to a haven because I only have one liberated region and I'm not even sure that one is free of faceless. Every 3rd time I leave the geoscape Shen gives me the LECTURE. &q...
