thr333d333 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) all i gotta say is i love the kickstarter demo and definitely will be purchasing the game sometime around release day but one thing that irked me almost immediately and does effect my enjoyment of the battlescape enviroment is how aliens when faced complete opposite ways can turn and reaction fire soldiers that they cannot see at all (until after they turn) to me this kills a lot of the strategy of the battlescape (which should be manuevering and flanking) i can understand if they are within their 90 degree view radius cause that makes sense, but when an enemy can rotate on spot and fire any direction its just plain unfair... obviously i'd want the same restriction for my own units. now i can't remember exactly how it worked in TFTD or enemy unknown but i am almost positive they will not reaction fire unless they see you. perhaps this was already mentioned to the devs, i dunno, i didn't bother to search the forums but if it hasn't been brought up I am at a loss for words as it only took me 1 battlescape play to notice this oversight. EDIT: its as i feared, no one has posted anything about this issue before which is very vexing to me this is something that is a must have, otherwise it becomes less strategic to me and hopefully everyone else (so they fix it!) Edited September 10, 2012 by thr333d333 did search and was dumbfounded no one else mentioned this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 That issue where aliens could see 360? Fixed. Check the changelog thread gnarly maintains and look after v10 for all the changes and bugfixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It wasn't overlooked because the dev team can see and react to things in a 360 degree arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yup, it was just an issue with the AI being very basic at that time. It no longer is so reaction fire for the aliens follows the same rules as for humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
