Does any viable control option exist outside of Stings? It's becoming rather apparent that past the early game in LW2, everything must be killed or controlled every turn of combat. Area suppression is small and getting nerfed. OW defense and smokes does jack against sneks, rocketeers or MECs. Other...

Thoughts: Revival Protocol: Yeah, way too strong. Failsafe: I've never understood why people like this perk so much. The penalties for failing hacks are negligible, and generally you don't bother taking a hack action if you have a high chance of failing it anyway. Lockdown: I think this is competiti...

Failsafe does something quite unique and potentially powerful. Consider the situation where you're racing against the AVATAR timer and have to beat a few lategame missions with your best soldiers, but they're taking wounds in the process. Reducing wound time for them can greatly increase of the squa...

Thanks for all that feedback Jadiel! At the moment it feels to me that unlike LW1, core upgrades (weapons and armor) dominate all other choices (autopsies, etc). None of the autopsies provide items which feel necessary, and the damage and survivability upgrades make such a huge difference to your ef...

By the time you have Advanced Grenade Launcher and Volatile Mix these are hitting a fairly large area with massive effect.

@joinRBS When you're running a mission with one or two soldiers who are trying to achieve an objective and evac it's more likely that points in aim are going to feel wasted than points in will. There's so much flexibility in the infiltration system that a lot of conventional LW1-thinking starts to ...

1) So if Not Created Equally is in, and there is a 'stat pool' concept, and psi offence remains a separate stat, have you added more use for will? I mean obviously panic defence is a thing, but in general having a soldier who never panics but is terrible in every other respect is going to be pretty...

Wow, this is more extensive than I was expecting! Sounds like some really awesome changes! Excited to try it all out! There are a few things I'm wondering about: Will it ever be beneficial to send a 10-man squad on a mission, or is it one of those "you can do it, but it's not a good idea"...

The squad management sounds cool. Will a soldier be able to be a member of several squads? Maybe a Beta grunt to act as a "sub" to Alpha Squad, if (when) someone is injured... Will he be able to build loyalty with more than one officer? Yes to both. There's a lot of flexibility built into...

Why has the force composition information been removed from the Shadow Chamber? Reading about all the other changes to the strategy layer I kind of expected there to be more ways of gaining that information, rather than none, to be honest. It seems like never knowing what kinds of enemies you will ...
