I think that it is here:

I really think stealth is going to be almost impossible in 1.3, especially early game, and something you're not going to want to try unless you absolutely have to. The problem is the infiltration time. It takes just as long to infiltrate one or two guys as it does 4 guys. And for stealth missions y...

About the only way to get advent strength down is by doing supply raid and troop column missions in the region or by doing lots of missions in other areas and no missions in the region you want to shrink. Just a quick note to add that in 1.3 putting your Rebels on the Hiding job also reduces Vigila...

How to Migrate Your LW2 Version 1.2 Campaign to 1.3: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 392#p42392

Update : After speaking with a couple of testers who noticed some buggy behavior after running a 1.2 save with 1.3, I will go back to reminding users that starting a fresh campaign is the best possible option. No one has noticed any game-breaking bugs running a 1.2 save, however the caveat always r...

A conversation with Bilfdoffle, Xyptero, and me regarding how to retrain soldiers, and then level them up. It's a bit wonky, but it will work if you really, really, really need to retrain that soldier to a new class.

Yeah, it's a pretty significant decision to make early on, and I've built a couple of OW Specialists (center column) for testing, and they have been super fun. In general I have a hard time giving up Combat Protocol so most of my builds end up going "right column". But, no question that I'...

This is my current 1.3 mod list. I hate to be 'that guy', but Revival Protocol and Restoration Fix is redundant now, for the fixes from it are baked into LW2 itself. :P Ever notice how you'll do Revival Protocol and you'll see Panic Removed twice? That'd be the why behind that little cosmetic oddit...

This is my current 1.3 mod list. I can't really use gameplay changing mods per se, because we're still testing, but I've got a few on deck; including ABA additional LW2 enemies, Shadow Ops Class Pack, Elite Viper, Riftkeeper, Muton Demolisher, and most (if not all) of the map packs. Additional Icons...

TT may have fixed one of the vanilla game's most annoying bugs so your patience will be rewarded. You fixed how soldiers try breaking non-existent glass before firing through open/broken windows and doors? :D :D, sadly not that one. My immersion gland aches so bad when that happens, or the "ta...

Also, where did you see that 1.3 is imminent? That wording makes me think within a day or two, and I haven't yet seen anything to that effect being said by those with authority. "It is imminent" is kind of an inside joke, because prior to LW2 launch Amineri said it to someone on this foru...

Back on Topic: @Zloth, Sir, Davi I agree, this is a big concern for players who solely utilize / depend on Steam Workshop. The changes in 1.3 may not break their saves, rendering them corrupt / useless, but it will make some fundamental changes to classes / progression timing / etc. that could ruin...

This is one update that you hope would not autopush. Image people are a good ways into a 1.2 campaign with lots of stealth shinobi, and suddenly the mod updates. Now suddenly their squads are ineffective as they were built around a stealth heavy game that has now bee altered. For this update people...

Wow. Ummm, so anyway... Other mod sources don't push. The player has to go out and pull in the update and you can educate them on 0'ing out the respec timer right then. (Many will ignore it but that's on them.) Steam does push, though, and players will start the game up only to find their soldiers ...

I like to think of it as "Big Sky's Revenge". RIP o7

The first one you choose for the mission will be the leader. Just always choose the one you want to lead first.

Given the huges changes to Perks, does anyone know what would happen to a 1.2 save game if loaded in 1.3? Will it just break? I'm testing that now. First pass indicates that it doesn't break the game. Obviously soldier perk trees will need to be respec'd and you will need to destroy and cheat in a ...

I wish you guys would stop killing my rookies, I am having a hard enough time keeping them alive in 1.3 as it is.

I smell something cooking

Sadly, what you are smelling is Chryssilid Poison slaughtering my soldiers.

Is is wrong that I'm unreasonably excited for this project?
