Hi all, it is sometime I do not write here, i hope everyone is fine and happy.
I am having a big problem lately with the game.
I ALWAYS miss the message that alert about an imminent attack to a Phoenix Base, ALWAYS.
With the constructions, researches, manufacturing, havens under attack, the Phoenix Base Attack ones just get lost and there isn’t nothing reminding of those, not a counter, an icon, a line.
I don’t know if it is just me but I would appreciate if in future patches this kind of critical events are going to be highlighted more on the Geoscape.
uhmmm was there even any alerts? i dont remember seeing anything, honestly. it literally was like … boom start mission, no way around it. i would be curious what that looks like, cause i always feel like i got caught with my shorts down on that and i would have like one lv1 guy there and get murdered
There should be a bar that appears in the upper right corner of the Geoscape. It has the estimated time in hours until the attack. I’m not sure if you do a ground mission if the bar still shows after returning to the Geoscape though. I also have noticed that if you save and reload you lose the notification.
there is a message that spawn in white text in the plain center of the screen, and the time stop when an attack is about to occure telling you when and where the ennemi will strike. usualy giving you 6-24hours to react and move your soldiers in(or out in case you have to abandon it) the said base.
But yep, consideing it’s slightly more important than a grenade finishing to craft, it will be good to have a bigger alert, like a windows with an okey button to press.
ive literally never noticed that after a lot of base defenses, thank you both! and yah i agree, wayyyyyyy more important than all the other things it pauses for, like finding a destroyed haven
I agree with this, While my attention is focused elsewhere, I think that when a base attack is eminent in “X amount of hours” I would suggest that the time pauses… And the screen displays a big “X RED ALERT.” the current minimized message of it is just so disheartening when the troops are in a different continent.
No - this is still a major problem. I get a verbal announcement and a countdown circle around a haven that is under attack, but nada zippo when a base is. That is absurd.
