How the fuck am i supposed to do this with 3 soldiers? There's no way i can kill all of this and extract the VIP in 12 turns with 3 soldiers. Was i supposed to deploy more soldiers and not complete the infiltration?

No, the better strat is to let the mission go as it wasn't reasonable with your current tools. Try to put more resistance members on intel so that you find missions sooner. The sooner you find them, the more people you will be able to send as you have more time to infiltrate.

Skipping missions isn't that detrimental to you in long war.

Just pick and choose which you should go after.

>>166033891
It should work if it doesn't modify the .exe,so does it?

Anyone else have blank icons for grenades and flashbangs in Long War 2? I'm thinking it must be some other mod i have installed.

>>166033767
Seems pretty balanced to me. They have always wanted a more realistic sense to the game. You found out about their operation too late, try again next time and learn how to use your resistance members better.

"Second" mission I had that popped up was completely do able.

This is why i hate long war though, how was i supposed to know to skip that mission? I wasn't, because it's not meant to be beatable on your first try, fair enough. But i know that this "oops you were not supposed to do that your campaing is now unbeatable because you didn't minmax perfectly" bullshit will happen again and again and i'll have to restart the campaing again and again. I'll just fucking play this once either someone makes a mod fixing the terribly not fun overworld balance that obviously plagues this just like it did LW1 and leaves only the fun gameplay parts of the mod or one year from now when some autist will have made a guide detailing precisely what you have to do not to fail. Why do they insist in these fucking stupid mechanics? This is why they are not professional devs and just modders.

What config do I need to override to stop my Uniform soldiers defaulting to "can appear as soldier?"

You don't have to minmax perfectly, you just need to know how the game works so that you can make informed decisions.

It just needs an instruction manual. If you really don't want to have to restart a bunch just wait a little while for someone to make a general guide you can look at so you know how to play.

y tho

>>166034414
While I completely understand and mostly agree with your dislike, I just want to say:

Long War is meant to play differently to the base game. With Xcom 2 being more moddable we're able to actually get different systems that we can see and understand, stuff like Haven management and Infiltration. LW1 hid everything because they couldn't display it because that's how the game worked. I absolutely hated it.

Basic Xcom 2 rarely has a case where you shouldn't take a mission. If you have half a squad of competent soldiers, you do the mission. If you can't even manage that your campaign is probably in the bin anyway. This just seems to be a harder way to play the game.

>don't bring back HE and AP grenades
>instead just make grenade environment damage absolutely inconsistent and useless
why

>>166035317
>instead just make grenade environment damage absolutely inconsistent and useless
But it was the same way in LW1?

>>166035426
In LW1 you could blow up a garbage bin with a HE grenade.

In this you can't even do that.

Does anybody else think the 'graze band' should scale inversely proportional to the chance to hit?

ie. 100% chance to hit has 0% to graze
50% chance to hit has +- 5% to graze
10% has +- 10% to graze

something like this, but scaled better

>>166035582
My question is can you go past 100% aim for the roll calculations. I know crit can.

Trying to decide if I should just beat this game for the first time (Not entirely sure how far I am but I just did the Facility mission where you get the stasus suit shadow project) Or restart with LW2.

I'm on Veteran, but it is starting to feel a little too easy despite Alien Pack fucking my shit occasionally.

I think I couldn't make myself clear.

There will be 2 saves. One with bunch of mods and other with only LW2. Let's say one day I get bored of LW2 and want to play that other moded save. Since I deselected those mods for my LW2 save, would I be able to continue the save with bunch of mods with selecting those mods and deselecting LW2.

Unfortunately i am a scrub, i saved the 3 captives, but got caught in the end. There was a surprise 4th pod at the end, and i could've saved 1 soldier but i figured i could save all 3 if i kept him in to help, unfortunately the 2 other pods caught up really fucking fast, 2 soldiers panicked and that was that.

On the plus side, if they had not been rookies they probably wouldn't have panicked, and i would've gotten away.

>>166044498
You level up by merely using them, no need to kill.
With passives you pretty much gain PSIXP just by existing in a mission.

>>166044732
all that and deleting your current saves and inis in the My Documents folder is probably recommended. There's a link in the thread to a mod compatibility table.

>>166044732
disable all your non-cosmetic mods for now

refresh your .ini files.

>>166044732

I had to unsubscribe from a lot of mods simply because the modlist keeps fucking up.
Beyond that everything seems fine thus far. But I only just finished the Gatecrasher mission equivalent.

>>166044498
Yeah. IIRC you level up psi by getting kills with psi skills. Either that or just by using them? I apologize, its been forever since I've played EU/EW

>>166047174
I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand.
But then again one of the first mods I even got for this game was the offsplits from Guerilla Warfare, specifically Reinforcement Missions and shit.

Is it just me or does longwar seem kind of fucked.
The AI is improved, sure, but it's cheating like a motherfucker and level design is placing objectives either out of turn limit even while dashing or in places that will take so long/activate every enemy on the map it's not worth doing.

Is this supposed to be
>you cant do every mission xd
or is it just bugs.

How does infiltrate work if the time runs out before infiltration is finished?

>>166047758
You either run the mission below 100% infiltration or don't do the mission.

I'm not going to pretend i'm good or anything but this is INSANE, i can't spend multiple turns on one firefight and race against the clock to hack something at the same time.

Like in this mission, at this point i just can't reach the objective anymore because somehow a civilian saw me through a wall and alerted one pod, and because grenades are so weak now(not to mention that i feel like i want to conserve them because they are guaranteed damage) and cover bonuses are so good, that even taking out 4 advent took me multiple turns.

I don't know what bullshit alien is in the fog of war, so i don't want to yellow move especially when i'm already fighting one pod, but you have to flank the ayys to kill them because cover is too good, but if you try and flank them you could get yourself flanked by another pod, but even if you flank them in the early missions with only rookies you can still just grace them, and then you have these fucking sentries right at the start of the game that just overwatch every time, i mean shit i'm on like my third mission and they already have covering fire, so to remove their overwatch i want to use a flashbang, but now they fire at you if you use a flashbang and hhashsodahdiajopdhaipwqhiksada

I don't want to pussy out by changing the timers or getting true concealment but either i'm just too shit to do it "legit" or this is insane.

sometimes when i load a mission textures turn purple, wonder what could be causing this.i don't have any cosmetic mods so what could be the problem?

>>166047917

Ah, yes. I forgot /vg/ is for erp, discussion of why something has no flaws and circlejerking.

It can't possibly be LW2 has balancing issues and aggroing a single pod lowers your chance of successfully completing a mission significantly; or that current map generation is leading to you arriving at objectives with few or no turns remaining even in a straight line.

I'm not sure how balanced some of the timers are on these maps - I just got a "Rescue Resistance Contacts" mission where I may have been able to rescue everybody and get to EVAC using 10 turns of only dashing & hacking on a 12 turn timer. Not to mention there was a sectoid pod INSIDE one of the prisoner cells who could magically phase in and out of the locked door.

Do the long war standalone mods work with pirated version or is it only the overhaul that cucks it?

>tfw you miss the fear of watching a thin mint take a shot
Stun lancers just don't have the same visceral terror.

You are going to need to start thinking outside the box. 2 man teams to bring the infiltration time for a 100% down so you can get even less enemies on missions if it isn't already extremely light. As well as using grenades as distractions. Unactivated pods react to noise. Grenades will move them away from objectives.

Don't let missions become firefights if you don't have the fire power to back it up. If you fail your stealth, then you should probably just leave.

If long war 2 is anything like long war for EU/EW was then they will have patched it to not work on cracked copies.

>tfw still hate the miniguns used by heavies in XCOM 2
why did they do it, it looks so dumb

For the meme potential that is the beam cannon. I liked lmgs better myself though.

>>166051223
Probably a reference to the auto cannons from the 94 game.

I agree they look stupid, the LMGs were way cooler imo.

Won't that also blow your concealment?

I wish they had bought back the Rocket Launcher or something rather than recycling vanilla classes.

Yes, but if you have a Shinobi and another person, then the Shinobi won't be revealed. They will be able to go in there if the pod moves away at least 6 tiles.

>>166051640
Not for the guy with Phantom. Also isn't concealment reworked?

>install LW2
>framerate significantly improved

That's one side effect I didn't expect.

Has anyone else noticed a preformnce boost with lw2? I'm getting 10fps average more on my toaster then normal
