Now I'm wondering if my quick succession promotions came from the bug affecting soldiers from the Black Market getting a promotion every mission. It did. Trial by Fire is highly recommended if you want to keep levelling up Squaddies/LCPLs/CPLs in the mid game. Then why did it stop at Sgt? My Sgts t...

Sergeant needs 70 kills worth of exp to get to on Legend. Now I'm wondering if my quick succession promotions came from the bug affecting soldiers from the Black Market getting a promotion every mission. But it did stop at Sgt as going to SSgt took many missions. I think I'll just have to see what ...

Sergeant needs 70 kills worth of exp to get to on Legend. Each normal guerrilla op gives you, if you're doing mostly extremely light with 4, very light with 5, light and above with 6+, ROUGHLY 2 points of post-mission XP multiplied by just under 6. That means you're shaving 6ish missions off their t...

Sigh. Reinforcements are my least favourite aspect of the game, for all the reasons that have been expounded on before. Will see how it goes but this sounds more frustrating than fun. I have absolutely no doubt that you can edit the reinforcement bucket ticker in the ini files in 1.3, just like you...

I believe I shall have fun playing 1.3! Here's hoping that happens over this weekend!

Seems mildly disrespectful.

Love the graphics. Wish the shadow moire problem were gone, because I hate being distracted by a flickering/heavily-aliased shadow of a pauldron on a character's arm when I'm aiming. There's only little niggling problems like that, though; the actual maps and characters and shit look fantastic and I...

Actually a really good idea, though I dunno if you can implement a delayed post-mission asset recovery.

Sorry, but the Ranger is the rifle master already. There's no need for a pistoleer given how the sidearm functionality works in the game, but if you really want someone like that, there's a mod by Musashi that adds a Gunslinger who sub-specs in stealth or holotargeting. Having two distinct paths wit...

You can edit the .inis to tweak the stats of armors to your liking. I have, personally, changed heavy armors back to being more heavily-armored and more costly.

I use the mod and have zero issues. Doesn't shock me. There's always some imbecile in the comments of a mod saying that that specific mod is causing them and their 400-mod game to crash and it's solely the fault of THAT mod and nothing else, not their 20 gigs of anime voice packs, not their 250 out...

You haven't taken Revival Protocol in 1.3? Jesus. That's a lot of soldiers incapacitated for two turns from the errant drone stun or Sectoid panic, haha.

This is my current 1.3 mod list. I hate to be 'that guy', but Revival Protocol and Restoration Fix is redundant now, for the fixes from it are baked into LW2 itself. :P Ever notice how you'll do Revival Protocol and you'll see Panic Removed twice? That'd be the why behind that little cosmetic oddity.

Doh, I'm sorry.

Stop that.

Gotcha Again is Quality Of Life, not a gameplay mod. It is definitely great, too. I also like LEB's Make PsiOps Great Again mod, but I feel like Advanced Telekinesis is just awful. If it reduced an enemy's defense by 10 with a huge boost with will or something, that'd be fine. But 5 dodge? But grabb...

You can always do what I did and modify the healing table in XComGameData.ini. Line 161 on. For Legend, I have: +WoundSeverities=(MinHealthPercent=-10000, MaxHealthPercent=10, MinPointsToHeal=45000, MaxPointsToHeal=60000, Difficulty=3) ;Legend +WoundSeverities=(MinHealthPercent=10, MaxHealthPercent=...

Sadly, a lot of Musashi's stuff is kinda unbalanced. Well, the Samurai and Katanas are. I like a lot of the ideas and work that went into them, though, and I use the Gunslinger mod with its prerequisites because of how they're pretty fair, though. I have a hard time choosing between SPARKs, Gunners,...

I've had that happen plenty on Legendary. Never once on Veteran.

Ah, darn. I was really hoping there was something to go on for a release timetable, haha. Oh well. I understand the bug-hunting portion is significant and hard to gauge.

Sending an Engineer/Sci off to haven advise is exactly the same as using them in a facility slot: It removes that scientist from research-boosting duty and an engineer from whatever it is they do when idling. Also, where did you see that 1.3 is imminent? That wording makes me think within a day or t...

Agreed. I use Extract Corpses without the Fulton and CARRY_UNIT_MOBILITY_ADJUST to -6 to make carrying a corpse out actually a dangerous proposition. I could list my modlist, but it's probably identical to 90% of everyone else's.

I've never stopped modding since starting playing XCOM2 seriously in November, although I basically purged everything but the basics when LW2 came out. I've gone through a lot more than just the ones I have now, but I have about 50 mods, most of them actually doing stuff to the UI/gameplay. I think ...

Don't worry, I agree entirely with you there. I'm going to enjoy 1.3 a lot. I just wish waiting for it weren't so hard, haha.

Honestly, until we get notification from Johnnylump that the patch is literally right around the corner, don't hesitate on playing 1.2. It's not like the entire mod is changing with 1.3. Enough that I'm anxious for it, but not enough that I'm stopping playing 1.2 for fear that knowledge of the game ...
