They took away our free mechs! :(
Time for a retrospective now that the 'demo version' has been ripped out of our cold, democratic hands. People level 25+ can still Helldive with a mech or two in their arsenal, but the Exo-45 is well a truly 'gone' in its iteration as an additional asset each Helldiver could call down.
Let's talk about what we learned, and where we felt they shined, eh?
As an aside, I also found them to be really, really great for extraction, because longer missions get harder the longer they go on for. That really only exists in the vacuum of 'everyone gets one for free', though. They need to do work in the actual mission if we're wasting a stratagem slot on them.

Q+A:
Is this game expensive?
[Hell no! It's 40$ and brand new! With an industry standard for 60$ (rapidly becoming 70$) this game gets an A+ on the CB Value Scale.]
Why isn't the difficulty higher?
[It's on Hard. We were pretty fatigued from other games played earlier on higher difficulties. The post-nerf galaxy is a vicious one, and some of the rebalanced missions are SCARY.]
How often do you release these videos?
[Release schedule is a big unknown right now. Schedules haven't allowed for consistent video releases, so they'll come when they can. Sorry =(.]
What happened to Path of Exile?
[3.24 Waiting Room. See you in Late-March!]
I like your commentary/essay videos better.
[If you actually feel this way, say so in the comments. Motivation for these is pretty low, but if people actually wanted them, I would certainly find it!]
