Kinda mad theres no second wave... the game would benefit from the one that makes the game longer

There is one, its called Legendary difficulty.

Build times are 2x, but also enemies appear slower. Same mission density, much longer game.

oh cool

The repeater is the absolute gayest thing in this game and the only way to improve on this change is to straight up remove it

Wow people on Steam reviews really hate the Alien Hunters DLC. They also comparatively love Shen's Last Gift.

Is the first really so terrible, and the second so good?

(Trying to hold out for some type of discount in a sale, just curious.)

Alien Rulers looks really really bad.

That's a great way to get no MELD, though. From what I remember: use grenades to soften up Sectoids and other starting enemies, but don't finish them off with them or else risk losing Weapon Frags, expect every shot that you need to hit will miss and have contingencies to lock down baddies.

Just skip the Newfoundland mission when it pops up. It's not worth losing your squad.

Are you people serious? It's not that hard lol...

LW2 will be perfect for me at patch 1.5 when they finally tone down some of the geoscape mechanics.

I don't really have any problems with the tactical layer. Couple of the perks suck or have extremely situational benefits. Why would I ever want the officer's 4 damage resistance against explosions? The rare chance you don't manage to murk a grenadier?

You're right that's a good use for it but it's not very often that you have 4 soldiers all takin cover behind a car. I'd take the other perk anyday.

I've met one but he got vaporized with shotgun fire. Do flashes stop them from rocketing you?

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but do squads have any tactical benefit?

Are silencer mods worth looking at? I keep seeing them in the workshop, are they a thing in LW2?

Never tried any Long War, and am looking at testing it out.

The silencer mod for LW2 looks incredibly bad.

Metal over flesh for SPARKS, and the uninstall mod for Alien Rulers.

LW2 is genuinely a few patches away from being really good.

LW2 makes you have to build weapons individually? What made them think that was a good idea? Building them as a single project for everyone is one of the changes that I've seen pretty much unanimously praised.

I think it works well as a new fatigue system.

I'm sure there's a mod or ini edit for it.

Yeah I just did the ini edit, I feel damage spread on nades is a nerf enough.

I wanna try a campaign with them. Probably get some use of their awc perks.

Couldn't you add extra action points to the Alien Rulers make them seem less fake?

e: maybe nerf their mobility too because they could move all over the map

Dongicus
Jun 12, 2015

Yeah but they're pretty rare.

Pavonis have started asking for their forum members to help with localisation. So hopefully they'll make some UI elements explaining obtuse poo poo.

Sending out a dispatch mission to sabotage, say, like drone or mec production.

Dongicus

1.3 is pretty cool so far. Lots of missions where I'm only just escaping.

Four man missions are so much more fun and intense than just one stealthing it.

the serial nerf was needed imo. Reaper tho has the inherent downside to it because 9 times out of 10 ur gonna pull another pod (esp now that pods are more dense)

flashbangs can now just straight up fail on some of the boss type enemies. for every good tweak there's two stupid ones to match it, mother-friggin' long war ftw.

It's definitely one of the map packs. I just consoled my dudes a tile over.

Man I gotta say, High Mobility sawn-off Rangers give me life. It's so satisfying being able to just straight up delete some snake rear end in a top hat off the map.

Would disabling the easier dark event mod for lw2 revert the DE's back to normal?
