1) Count number of enemies on a map when it starts. 2) Divide 1 by number of soldiers present when missions starts. So if someone dies that XP is essentially lost, the others don't get a bigger share. 3) Multiply that by the class weight in lw_overhaul.ini (they range from 5.7-5.9). 4) That's the e...

Note sure if it had been captured, but yes, Mission XP is in and is weighted more heavily than kill xp. So even if you go on a stealth mission and never kill a single unit, you'll still get the good chunk. IIRC it's somewhere around 75/25 or 80/20. You mean 75(or80) for mission completion, and 25(o...

Somebody confirmed that Miss does NOT get promoted.
We can only get demoted to Miss

No, not quite like that. First you take the roll before applying crit, let's say you rolled into normal damage. After that you roll both crit and dodge. If you roll a crit promote the damage one step, if you roll a dodge demote it one step. So if you roll both a crit and a dodge they cancel. If you...

Sorry, I still can't follow the to-hit mechanism yet. There's this excel visualization somebody posted on subreddit. Could you confirm the calculations are correct? https://redd.it/5ou1y0 ex1) displayed to-hit is 80 , crit is 0. shouldn't it be just 70% to hit, 20% to graze, 10% to miss since we hav...

What happens to the squad that was infiltrating a mission when the mission expires?

On Legend, where xwynns and I have been giving balance feedback,

Guess we know which Twitch channel to visit for a riot when Legend difficulty kicks people in the nuts Kappa

Quick question. Have you ever beat Legend difficulty? No spoilers intended/wanted obviously

And that Liberated =/= Permanently Liberated. ;) If the liberated region becomes not liberated, do we have to liberate it once again to beat the campaign? or as long as we have history of liberating 1 region, it will be fine? I will have to defer to JL, I'm not sure how much I can say. Fair enough ...

In vanilla you were encouraged to develop a worldwide network as it would keep spawning missions that progressed the story line in undiscovered(?) regions. Are you saying that we could win the game by just focusing on one region? is that viable and/or encouraged? Note that Liberated =/= Contacted. ...

Holy crap it is indeed coming.

Fasten your seatbelt and hang on tight, ladies and gentlemen.

TONS and TONS of rookies are going to die tomorrow via Twitch Chat a.k.a. "When is the ETA"

1) You got it. And, yes, it works better than fatigue because it also ties up your gear while you are infiltrating. We've calibrated unique gear costs because of it (and it's also why we dropped the schematics system). @JL, does that mean "Fatigue" factor is out of the game? Because fatig...

I knew the mysterious beta-testing archiver would be none other than Deaconivory! Do you know when we can expect the exhaustive list? (Not asking for specific dates/ETA on LW2 launch, but more on possibility of getting the list prior to the launch)

see you then!

Well - he'll see you, anyway.

Judging by lessons taught by XCOM, I wouldn't be too sure about, well.. practically anything. cz ITS XCOM BABY

joinrbs check, Beags check, xwynns check. Thanks guys!

A few of our internal testers stream and/or post to youtube, and are planning some playthroughs of LW2 once it releases. They've also been working on LW2 101-type guides to help people come to grips with the changes. Any chance you can slip some names of those people? So I can follow/sub or what no...

Sniper Rifle in particular looks sick. Can't wait to see others including armors and what not

I suppose they said no to preemptive reveals of other Coilgun weapons?

@johnnylump , is that for ALL weapons and armors? or coilgun-specific? or are we not there yet in terms of nda?
