What made you think that will was the stat used for success/fail of insanity?

If it wasn't clear from the above post, the success/fail of insanity it's determined by the psi offense of the soldier and the will of the enemy.

This is true for domination as well.

If you go to the commanders quarters on the avenger, there's a ton of information there.

As far as Faceless go, if the Alien Infiltrator Dark Event isn't running, you'll find them only in Capture VIP missions. I heard maybe regions with high strenght can have them, not sure. I believe you get faceless on capture VIP missions at strength 5 and above. Xwynns has mentioned it a couple tim...

I still don't really understand why you think the LW2 sectiods are more powerful than the Vanilla sectoids. They have the exact same abilities: Mindspin (random disorient, panic, or mind control if sucessful) and zombie raise. If a soldier gets mind controlled, that triggers will checks on other sol...

Battle scanners and/or scanning protocol will spot and reveal burrowed chrysilids.

1. From the 1.5 (unreleased) patch notes: "- Fix a bug causing the Full Override charge to be consumed on a failed hack attempt. It is now refunded if the hack fails." 2. I'd be surprised in PI didn't know about this one. If you watch Xwynns videos, he exploits this bug all the time, and h...

Reported many times, and already fixed in the next patch

Thank you!

Unless the target was dead center of the explosion, it was probably just due to the damage falloff.

The file you want is Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/844674609/config/XComLW_AWCpack.ini . Open in Notepadd++, and add a semicolon ( ; ) to the beginning of lines 124 and 155

The tower/override bug is a bug from vanilla. Any tower reward you get (not just deception) is re-granted when you use haywire or Full Override. This bug has been around forever, so I'm betting it's tough to fix. If I recall correctly, at one point it could even re-proc the mass stun effect of hacki...

I've seen the UFO randomly vanish from the geoscape before as well. Don't be fooled, it'll be back.

Thanks!! Can your solution for this be implemented by a simple .ini edit or was it something more involved? Is there an easy workaround that we can use in the meantime?

My experience with bugs like this is that it's usually an issue with the perfect information mod, and the skills themselves are working properly. The perfect info mod was created, i think, before lw2 even came out and has not been maintained by it's creator. It's not optimized for skills like cyclic...

I wonder about the answers to these questions as well regarding the mechanics of these skills. 2 things that i do know: 1. Trench gun explicitly says that it is blocked by all cover, doesn't it? 2. With skills that Target multiple enemies (saturation fire, trench gun, face off,etc) perfect informati...

I think you only get a resistance MEC if the unit you hack is a MEC. It sounds like you used full override on a sectopod.

How to fix: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 17&t=26221

This is a known bug that's been described before. It's fixed in 1.5 and there's a mod you can use in the meantime that fixes it here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=933334693 There's been a couple threads extensively discussing it as well, including how to fix PsiOps that have...

You can find them as soon as you learn about AVATAR (after liberating your first region) Some facts about Facility Leads missions : They are hard to detect (they are twice as hard to detect as regular "find a lead" missions and require an intel "pool" of 120 instead of 5!). What...

I really like xwynns videos, but I absolutely hate it when he starts kvetching about balance out of context. An 11-enemy supply raid (no timer) at strength 2 against 4 high level XCom soldiers is really not the place to be making sweeping claims about the balance of a core perk. Sometimes missions a...

Apologies for resurrecting the thread, Tracktwo, but was this thread ever noticed? Seems like a pretty good report, but I don't see anything about it in the patch notes. Is this something that is proving difficult to fix, or did it just slip through the cracks? Or is it actually fixed in 1.5 and not...

2. Same reason, because vigilance is increased from base value cuz of the facility. 3. The mission has so many enemies (+38) that taking out some by overinfiltration didn't change the designation. Pretty sure these two are wrong. You're saying that the activity level didn't tick down because vigila...

To answer your questions: 1. It sounds like you actually worked directly against your goal without realizing. There is a hidden variable in each region called "Vigilance", that represents how concerned Advent is about your threat to it in the region. There is a mod that will reveal it to t...

I have occasionally heard my soldiers pipe up with "right on the margins!" or one of the other graze responses when this happens. I don't know if anyone on the LW2 team has ever acknowledged that this is what is happening (though it's been brought up in the past), but it's almost certainly...

Once you come back from the Advent HQ mission, you will have the chance to immediately either run or abort each of the missions that you're currently infiltrating in the region. All infiltrating missions get a big boost to infiltration % (I forget the exact number). You *should* be able to do an int...
