Re: SPARK Builds

On the subject of enemies oddly having cover against your SPARK, I don't even have smite and I have this weird issue sometimes. I'll move my spark literally adjacent to an enemy who has cover from another direction (not between him and the SPARK), and the SPARK's gun attack is subject to the enemy'...

Re: Advent Officers

Thanks for the info! Pretty sure I've done the trooper. What's the min of scientists? I have four. Sooooo, probably five+ then? hahahaha I think it's one, maybe two. Have you checked your inventory via the engineering tab and double checked that you actually have the corpse in storage? The voice li...

Re: Questionable Perks

I recently rolled a gunner with fleche in their AWC tree. I feel a small boost to combatives might make it a more interesting choice when the AWC gives some melee synergy. If the parry worked versus the premier melee enemy of Longwar, the Faceless, it would probably pick it for all of my haven gunne...

Re: Questions about GTS upgrades.

Vulture: How does it work? what exactly does it mean "more often". I never saw more than one item for loot without vulture. Or does it also increase the chance of getting a loot?... I'm pretty sure vulture is just a nerfed version of the vanilla upgrade. In LW2 it gives all loot drops a f...

Re: [Feedback] 1.2 Perk Tree: Tier balance (Wall of Text Warning)

Nice post! I agree with most of what you say, so I'll just write down my disagreements (L/I perspective) ... 2) Specialist. I think Combat Protocol is auto pick, it's very strong early game, mediocre the rest of the game. On the other hand, healing is very weak in this game, I think I've used a med...

Re: Feedback from no <50% infil campaign

+HP vests feel the least useful to me as unlike LW1 you suffer wounds even if all the damage you took was applied to armor HP so if i take a vest it's for the added effect and so far i couldn't justify taking a Hazemat over a Medkit since poison is the only annoying DoT aliens regularly apply (the ...

Re: Liberation and vigilance

Well unfortunately leaving areas alone itself doesn't make them reduce their strength there, I've noticed especially on legendary if you spike vigilance in an area, there's essentially nothing you can to do get them to leave the area. They have so many reinforcements coming in, that even if you spi...

Liberation and vigilance

Is there a mechanic under the hood that causes increased vigilance in regions adjacent to liberated regions? My understanding is that ADVENT requires a fairly high strength value in a region adjacent to a liberated region in order to attempt to launch an invasion. Here's the scenario: I've liberated...

Red fog issues

I have not had the chance install the mod removing mod and step through reloading the game without mods, but last night I had an issue where a badly wounded archon didn't report have red fog applied to it. I have the featured turned on for everyone, including robots. I have a few UI mods, a couple o...
