Re: [Edit]LW2 v1.2 just isn't fun YET

All new truths are first ignored, then ridiculed(the stage you're in), then opposed, finally they accepted as something "we always knew". The sooner you pass through these phases, the better. I speak with confidence because I am confident that I am correct. It's worth noting that the late...

Re: LW2 just isn't fun

It does a very terrible job of even indicating the context of a decision. Some of this is a carryover from the original game but I think Pavonis has just compounded on it by implementing very deep mechanics without also increasing player feedback. This topic has been addressed this many times since...

Re: LW2 just isn't fun

The Pavonis team might do well to get some fresh blood in the playtesting pool, given precisely as much documentation as the outside world is given (no cheating!) and be radically open to their feedback, if they want to know the truth about how hard the game is or isn't. New Beta testers have been ...

Re: LW2 just isn't fun

No offense but which difficulty did you try to play? Anyone saying that the game is too hard who's not playing Rookie or anyone saying that the game is too easy who's not playing Legend didn't understand what difficulty level is for. There is no dummy difficulty in LW2 whose purpose is simply to no...

There have been some updates so the Infiltration Time mod is a bit different, but you get the idea.

The recent batch of UI mods are truly amazing.

As many of you know, I've run close to 600 mods with XCOM2/LW2 and I have to say that robojumper's Squad Select: LW2 Beta: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=889469383 is one of the most impressive mods I've ever seen. You will need to run the base version simultaneously, and you ...

Re: ok so whats the secret to 'Find a Lead'

Played over 200 prob 250 missions. 'Find a Lead' missions I assume are the only way to get facility leads. My games really dragging on because I'm obviously missing something. The exact way to actually get that vital lead in those missions seems to be variable, because sometimes I'm not allowed to ...

Not 100% sure if this will work but I see:

GiveTech BlacksiteData
GiveTech CodexBrainPt1
GiveTech CodexBrainPt2

I am not at my computer so I can't tell if GiveItem CodexBrain works or not.

Re: Unofficial Compendium of Tips and Observations

What do greyed out ones mean? I could guess Smash n' Grab being greyed out is that it's not out yet (as it's for 1.3). But "Muton Engineers" Tactical DE is also greyed out. Is it also upcoming for 1.3+? Smash n' Grab is slated to be included in 1.3 Muton Engineers is a vanilla DE that is ...

Re: alien hunters/shens last gift

The DLC missions are gated behind some enemy force levels, so you won't see them as early as you did in vanilla, but if you have the boxes checked they should all pop eventually.

Re: Squad don't show up on map after deployment.

That is a mod conflict. Disable your additional mods and try again.
