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...

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: 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...

Then I think I missed the question. I asked because I feel much more logical have visible perks and maybe most of players too.

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?

I suggest a change in the infiltration time of psi operatives. Maybe half time as a rookie or a shinobi.

The hack thing was impossible to reach, he was sorrounded on a corner and died.

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.

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.

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.
