Does she have a right to yell at me, or is the lecture baseless 1. When I returned to risking meld collection, I was only getting 11 per canister. My understanding is that meld-per-container reflects the current level of alien resources, so presumably this means the aliens have lost resources somehow.Īfter a successful mission, it dropped again to 10 per canister. ISSUE 1 - MELD In my first game, by June or July I was getting 9 Meld per canister. Can in-game events cause the aliens to lose resources, e.g. In my new (second) game, I am still getting 3 Meld per canister. when aliens create large UFOs or prepare for big missions like an XCOM base assault? It's almost September yet, the game is stuck on 3 Meld per canister. ago My 0.02 is that I get anywhere between 3-1 cannisters per mission. I just want to confirm that my game hasn't bugged out, because this is the first time I have seen meld-per-container go down rather than up. Harder Abductions spawn more but, given the Nature of Long War you'll activate every alien on the map getting them. I'm watching an impossible LW run before even starting to play it again and i see the guy playing extremely cautious at all times.Not really rushing into meld except with a scout.You're better off prepping to kill every pod on the map before they expire than trying to get to them before they expire. Yeah but for scouting and avoid procing multiple pods it's incredibly valuable.

It's also unlikely that you can modify a whole slew of your grunts with this, if you want to have enough meld for Mechs and other Gengineering projects.Įven in vanilla EW, I was usually short of meld. Your man needs to end up in ful cover, can't start his run visible to enemy sight, is revealed if he opens fire and can't hide from robotic opponents.

Mimetic skin is great for covert operatives, and having someone with this on a regular mission is nice, but it's not ALL that overpowered.

And yes, the best toys require potloads of meld. You can't see when the canisters are due to expire, and, as mentioned, running blindly toward them in the dark is a good way to lose troopers. Originally posted by frdnwsm:Scoring Meld in LW is rather harder than in vanilla EU/EW. Well, i also haven't played in a loooong time.but anyway i had no intentions to go beyond normal in the LW for now I am around 15 hours in but i never completed a campaign because i got bored before it.Vanilla feels a bit lacky on variety and the game kind of ends up feel being little more than a positioning simulator.that's another reason behind wanting to play LW. TBH Meld isn't that important, it just gives you a few new toys to play with but you could complete the game without ever using it. If you can manage to hunt down and kill every alien you will automatically be rewarded the Meld if it hasn't been lost already.

I would recommend not rushing to the Meld if you think aliens are nearby.Ī lot of soldiers have been lost dashing into darkness. I often get both Meld, but I also play very risky and aggressively.
