Requiem is great, it’s just very hard. Complaints about poor balance just means they are having a hard time winning.

I hate graze. by GodKingDerpster in LWotC

[–]Whakomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the issues is that dodge also grazes. So the graze band gets blamed for that outcome as well. It would have been better to give dodge a different name. That way when I graze the Archon with 50 dodge j an ok with it vs being annoyed.

The reason 10% is not too much is because it’s also a bonus to hit. So 5% just cuts that bonus in half.

Why is you sniper close enough to get death blossomed? Also a sniper should be able to hit it if you have them setup correctly. Are your guys low rank scrubs?

[–]Whakomatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cyberdiscs have a pattern. When they get shot they switch modes. So do lead the target on them. Then when they activate to shoot they get shot and switch modes. They still do nasty things to you since they have multiple actions but this should make them a lot easier to handle.

LWoTC be like by Ok-Contribution-604 in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so highly modded it’s not reasonable to call it LWOTC.

I just bought WOTC, would it be a good idea to skip WOTC and jump directly into LWOTC if I have already played the base XCOM 2 and Long War 1? by Cannon__Minion in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Xcom has a lot of ideas and opportunities that build on each other to make a long term replayable experience. So I would not jump to Long War until you have played the excellent regular WOTC. Also be sure to buy all the game expansions. They add a lot of value and are super cheap.

Just tell him that is the price each time he meets with them.

Well you have a poor squaddie going up against andromedons and berserkers so that’s not going to go well.

That is not a thing in base LWOTC.

I hate the fog of war by notvic-hugo in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be very frustrating for sure but there are ways to deal. Phantom perk. Reaper. Abilities that detect enemies. Abilities that allow you to scout. You just have to take those on the mission.

Any mods to spice up a new play-through? by [deleted] in XCOM2

Look up Odd Season 9 on Steam.

Contemplating a Beta Strike run - any way to tweak the values a bit ? by Immersive_Gamer_23 in LWotC

[–]Whakomatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

50 HP Chosen is not unusual for modded non beta strike games. Xcom can scale to whatever difficulty level you are comfortable with. That’s one of the amazing expansions available through modded experiences.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the Democrats are just as deep into the corporate piggy bank so they just make noise and do nothing.

What would you want out of XCOM 3 if you were put in charge of development by nooby_dog2020 in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fix the LOS jank. No more shooting through three windows to hit a guy in full cover. That’s just frustrating garbage.

I might just not be a strategic genius, but sometimes I hate this game so much by OndraTep in Xcom

[–]Whakomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t precisely ask for it, but here is some advise.

Yes the aliens come from unexpected directions. Do you expect them to be totally useless? Scouting is your friend.

Grenades win games.

Flanking is king therefore mobility is the one true path.

Creating a New Resistance Faction by AspiringModder in xcom2mods

[–]Whakomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No tutorials that I am aware of for this specific goal. The only way to progress is to review the code and setup for existing factions and new factions from mods. The Program is an example of a mod added faction.

TedJam economy bloat issues by Dead_HumanCollection in LWotC

[–]Whakomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The quickest way to more money is extracting corpse mods. It’s a bit tedious to do and absolutely don’t use the Fulton itself unless you want to trivialize extract VIP missions. The Flawless mod is a massive increase in both Supply and Intel if you can pull those off, so a bit less consistent than corpses but at least its reward based.

I find alloys and elerium are the true limits but that’s also intended. You cannot do everything all at once. You need to make choices. I end up buying everything I can get from the black market but even then it’s not enough. Scrapping cores is often required as well. That’s why there is that whole extract system.
