Pistols are Useful.

I really want to like LW2 but there's just too many things that piss me off

>turn timers (not a big issue with True Conceal)
>infiltration time punishes you if you want to roll with a larger squad
>too much emphasis on stealth and not enough on blowing up ayys
>a solo shinobi trivializes 90% of missions
>having to stick a soldier in haven limbo to weed out faceless
>advent getting a free shot on activation
>class balance could be better, i seem to just have shinobis for missions with stupid low infil times and grenadiers/assaults/gunners for everything else

I miss LW1 and the freedom the game gives instead of being railroaded into playing xcom: mgs edition

Thanks lump.

>>172344571

Well, xcg/ kind of truly revived around B10-B12 with only sporadic activity before that. And back then we also talked a lot more about Xenonauts, Marbozir and Open X-COM to spice things up a bit.

Maybe, once there is more about Phoenix Point and Xenonauts 2 things will take up. If the LW devs do decide to do more with the mod that will also help.

>>172346482

>>172346578

>>172344571
I'm enjoying LW2 now after some tweaks but I'm unsure if I'll do another run. I just want to hear more about 1.3 that hopefully isn't just nerfs.

>>172336250
I love the stealth desu, but I agree that there's too much emphasis on it. There should be "takedown" missions without the infiltration mechanic that have a flat enemy strength based on reward given. The first mission lets you bring a full roster and you basically never do that again

The small toggle found on the back of the neck in carapace armor is to be used for medical emergencies only. Sabotaging the emergency quick release for pranks resulting in ‘wardrobe malfunctions’ is strongly discouraged. Strike Four suffered 84% casualties before they even got to the landing site

Confounding Light is up next on my LW1 Campaign, any tips for taking it on?

>>172370430
Bring smoke and high mobility soldiers. Lots of thin mints, mutons and floaters will be present. Snipers can make use of the long sighlines, I would bring one or two.

If I remember correctly to win the mission you don't have to eliminate all enemies, but it will be pretty hard to place the transponders and start the train with 20+ enemies on your tail.

>>172371630

Is camping viable? I basically did Zhang's escort mission that way.

>>172371696
Absolutely not, it is a timed mission.

Camping is a possible, and encouraged strategy for the next mission in the chain, Gangplank. Which will show up two days after confounding light is completed.

>>172371815
>two days after confounding light

oh jesus. I don't even have any officers available right now.

Is skipping confounding light not an option?

>>172371886
You can skip it at no costs other than the rewards conferred by the missions.

So you will miss out on the battleship raid and all the juiciness within. Gangplank is fuck you in the ass hard though.

2x fusion cores is nice though, you can sell one for 200 credits and keep the other for a blaster launcher.

>>172372310

Am I honestly better off skipping? As it is I've only just started producing phalanx armor. Plus with all my officers wounded I feel like it'd be a really rough time.

>>172358526
It dodged.

>>172372443
All the DLC missions were ramped up a lot for LW since they're kinda easy in the base game. Confounding light and Gangplank are very difficult, but doable if you're experienced and have good men.

In your case I would do it, but I'm kind of a masochist. I always do the DLC because I like the special hero units you get from them.

>>172372796

I've already gotten Zhang so I feel pretty ok with skipping the rest of it. I'm gonna try and go through all of Progeny just for Anette and the furies when it shows up though

>>172372629

thanks I wanted to waste my entire day on fighting bullshit odds. does everything have to be random? does the distance to the objective have to be random? does the reinforcements have to be random? did you have to make the grenade damage random? did you have to make attacks glance characters without dodge? did you have to make the character with shitty aim my sniper? did you have to make the character with shitty movement my shinobi? is this meant to be more fun

On one hand that's terrifying to fight against.
On the other, that's pretty hot.

It's March 31st you dumb game. You're not supposed to give me floaters until tomorrow. Why are they in my mission that I brought an all rookie team for?

They already killed one of my guys with their activation overwatch.

>>172383976
If you're playing Long War the aliens pool is determined by alien research, not the month.

>>172382914
The maps are random, reinforcements correlate with the region's force level, grenade maximum damage falls off from the center, graze band can be disabled and the last two are fixed by either not using nce, building the soldier in an unorthodox way in order to overcome their limitations or by installing commander's choice.

Never got why xcom body armor had pauldrons or shoulder pads. They're too thin to stop bullets and restrict movement. It makes more sense for powered armor or armor made of lighter materials like alien alloys, protecting your brachial artery and glenohumeral joint; but ballistic Kevlar is just more weight.

Is me or vg/ is kind of fast these dayys?

>>172441241
Aliens don't use bullets, they use plasma. When you're trying to not catch fire, every layer helps. That, and restricted movements are a great excuse for those 90% misses.

-Possess psychic-like abilities
-Control france with an iron but fair fist
-Own castles & banks globally
-Direct descendants of the ancient royal blood line
-Will bankroll the first cities on Mars (Guerillagrad will be be the first city)
-Own 99% of DNA editing research facilities on Earth
-First designer babies will in all likelihood be Guerilla Warfare babies
-both insurgents said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has only existed deep in Tibetan monasteries & Area 51
-Ancient Indian scriptures tell of two angels who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with them
-They own Nanobot R&D labs around the world
-You likely have warbots inside you right now
-The guerillas are in regular idle suppression with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Warfare bunker in Wilkes land?
-They learned fluent French in under a week
-Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the guerillas. There’s no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Idle suppression
-The Idle suppressions are about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society
-In reality, they are timeless maneuvers existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they’re benevolent beings.

Sjogren Inertial Shotgun. Swedish invention that relies on the recoil to pump itself for the next shot.
Made during WW1 but found little market and ended up being used by resistance groups into WW2. Actually a really neat design; I guess it was the auto shotgun of its day.

>>172546409
Probably a retarded meme gun that no military force ever used

DICE likes to do that for done reason

>>172546820
Since it's from WW1 it doesn't even have meme status. But that's DICE for you. I suppose it could work in the WW1 era since the information isn't as well known.

That's nice and all, but you should really have a few bars of armor so that only strong enemies using strong attacks/criticals manage to injure your guys in a single blow.

I loved how your guys felt like Team Curbstomp at the end of EW. It was pretty much a case of "You aliens might as well stop flying UFOs near our planet. You're not going to be able to do anything against the walking tanks of death and their space fighter." That's a good quality for endgame equipment on normal difficulty.
