Re: Yellow Alert Offensive Action

Both these cases are example of the really unfair side of this mechanic. But in most cases it is manageable. (Still would take mind control out of the yellow alert actions imo :D ) Sectoids don't have mind control. They got one ability that randomly choose between Mind control/disorient/panic. Your...

That actually might be an interesting solution, if a very brute-force one.
I suggest it is implemented into a new difficulty above Legendary called "Very Very Butthurt"

Re: Suggested fix to supply raid, troop column, HQ 0% infiltration abuse

We're looking at three things on this: 1) Reducing max allowed squad size to 8 2) Requiring a minimum infiltration % to start the mission in concealment 3) Requiring a minimum infiltration % or else the enemies start in yellow alert (able to shoot on activation) I hope you are also going to make th...

Re: Lost my Campaign - No idea why

The "Rescue Defector/Neutralize Dark VIP " missions which is step 3 has a lower infiltration window and is usually a risky proposition if you do not have 4-5 trained soldiers on hand. I have seen more than a few players stay away from it and just go and easier missions. For neutralize dar...

Eh, I guess I can plan the new Torment game while waiting for 1.3

Re: [Suggestion] Allow changing gear for haven advisers without removing them first

#3 As was mentioned above squad management is not good enough. You have to remove soldiers from one squad first to add them to another squad. This has caused me to not use squad system at all. When I start a new campaign, I first deleted all squads and never create new ones again. Missions are a co...

Re: [Suggestion] Allow changing gear for haven advisers without removing them first

Game has a bunch of UI issues. Changing gear for haven advisers without the hassle of removing them and then putting them back is just one of them. #1 Also once officer or AWC training is done view soldier should bring us to Armory screen so we can put new soldiers in without needing to use next/pre...

Re: Research Priority Order

Wait... Do autopsies get faster based on the amount of corpses you have? If you have 10 of a corpse, they research instantly. It's a hard number, not a matter of a sliding scale. This is the same as vanilla XCOM2 iirc. 10 corpses is not enough. I had 25 advent corpses and it wasn't instant. But at ...

Re: Lone Wolf does not work properly with Fleche

If it always worked like this it does not mean it is good. LW2 already fixed some problems from vanilla Xcom 2, why not fix this one as well.

Re: Trojan virus perk not working anymore

I had this bug happen exactly one time I left MEC live long enough for haywire to wear off. I hacked the MEC so it shuts down and sent a sninobi with bladestorm next to it. The plan was to have shinobi get that attack off if haywire does not do enough damage. Haywire says enemy loses one action and ...

Re: Suggested fix to supply raid, troop column, HQ 0% infiltration abuse

I would suggest removing infiltration from this, base strength of these missions based on Advent Strength of the region this attack is coming from and limit players to certain number of troops (less than 10). Then let players get more bodies and elerium/alloys in some other missions that at the mome...

Fleche not ignoring Hunker bonus

LW2 mod version: 1.1 Windows If I understand correctly Hunker should only work vs targets you have cover vs. Fleche as a melee attack ignores cover, but I found enemy still got the hunker bonus to defense. At least the mod Perfect Information showed it so but I got no other way to know if it is true...
