Here's hoping we see some more DLC this week. I know that announcement had stuff beyond that first week but I don't remember if it had dates or not.

I'm itchin for more as well.

[AdawgDaFAB]

I haven't seen any more dates for stuff yet, but Koei's community manager said that all of the DLC Japan is getting will come out internationally. I don't expect us to get the Santa preorder outfits, the Da Ji Dengeki outfit or the Lu Xun Sandaime J Soul Brothers outfit, but everything else should come out eventually.

I certainly hope we start getting regular releases. Japan has a TON of stage packs and outfits already released.

[Seraphis Cain]

No DLC today, it seems.

[EYEL1NER]

Awwwww.....

I'll still be checking XBL tomorrow. I do every week in hopes of seeing Orochi content there.

[R_thanatos]

HUm hard dificulty can be really unforgiving at times Some characters don't last as long as they should ..and a garnison of archers can really wreck your life if you don't pay attention ..at this rate i fear for some parts of my chaos run ..

[dakkumauji]

I'm ok with no new DLC. I still haven't played the first set of DLC stages yet.

[Shadow780]

We're still getting DW7 DLCs, that's nice support for a change. If only they're compatible across all musou games.

[Kincaido]

Got my platinum yesterday =). A little sad that there's no DLC today. This is honestly the most fun I've had with a Warriors game in years. Will play it again whenever DLC is released.

[Boogalogist]

Me neither...I'm still working on max compatibility of big star weapons for all characters. I need to move faster....else when Diablo 3 comes out, WO3 will get neglected.

[Kincaido]

Seems like a port of the game is heading over to the PSP in Japan. Rachel from Ninja Gaiden is a new character. Wonder if they'll release her as DLC since I don't see the PSP version coming out here...

[AdawgDaFAB]

I will double dip for this if it has the DLC weapons from 7 in it.

[dakkumauji]

Yes please! That would be awesome. I do hope they allow movement via the d-pad again instead of the analog stub. It was annoying that was taken out in Sengoku Musou 3Z Special.

[Shadow780]

PSP?!!!

Where's my Vita port?!

[Boogalogist]

I want a PS Vita port WITH DW7 DLC weapons in it!!!

[dakkumauji]

I am pretty terrified that Susano's C5 move will break my game.

[AdawgDaFAB]

Rachel CG render + some screen shots from the PSP version and some info.


Translation from Black Kite, of KoeiWarriors's message board

魔神狩りをしていたところを時空の歪みに巻き込まれ、異世界へとたどり着いた。
Rachel got warped to the Orochiverse when she got trapped inside the dimension distortion while she's doing her usual job of hunting devils.

2名のキャラクターやゲームモードを追加して再臨！　今回は、新キャラクターのレイチェルや対戦プレイといった新要素をお届けしよう。ちなみに、残る新キャラク ターは完全オリジナル。詳細は続報を待て!!
There are 2 added characters here: Rachel and one more brand-new original character who will be revealed at a later date.

[dakkumauji]

Delicious lower-res screens.

As much fun as it would be on a handheld, I don't think I could deal with the lower graphics and whatever else gets reduced.

[Seraphis Cain]

I'm not even gonna worry about new portable exclusive characters. Last time I did ended up a disappointment (Benkei and Sanzang). Plus I've always hated Rachel's character design.

[dakkumauji]

We got bumped to community!

So more screenshots from the PSP version:
http://andriasang.com/con0yu/musou_orochi_2_special/

I won't lie, they aren't the most flattering, graphics wise.

And, we have more crossover costume DLC! This set gives out one to the rest of the SW people and we're getting more crossover to the people in Others, the WO exclusive and actual crossover characters.

Yukimura Sanada as Zhao Yun Oichi as Sun Shangxiang Shingen Takeda as Pang Tong Hanzo Hattori as Guan Suo Hideyoshi Toyotomi as Sun Wukong Ieyasu Tokugawa as Dong Zhuo Mitsunari Ishida as Zhong Hui Sakon Shima as Sima Zhao Kanetsugu Naoe as Jiang Wei Toshiie Maeda as Ma Chao Katsuie Shibata as Pang De Kanbei Kuroda as Guo Huai Muneshige Tachibana as Fu Xi Hanbei Takenaka as Zhuge Liang Masanori Fukushima as Gan Ning Goemon Ishikawa as Xu Zhu Musashi Miyamoto as Zhang Liao

The rest are found here: http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_...ostume_Pack_15

In addition, there are three previews for the Others crossover costumes.

Joan of Arc as Daqiao Da Ji as Lianshi Kaguya as Cai Wenji

There were also more stages released and I think music packs. Too bad, we're still waiting for DLC that came out ages ago to be released here.

[A Huge Battleship]

Glorious. With this and Aya's new costumes my main team is gonna be stylish as hell.

[dakkumauji]

In more news being only told through inspchin's twitter,

Warriors Orochi 3 Special (PSP) - It's for JP only. Don't think its extra content would come to DLC. But trust me, better things are coming!

https://twitter.com/#!/inspchin/stat...76614698020864

I'm ok with this.

[Boogalogist]

Oh noes!! It looks like I won't be able to get all max compatibility for all big star weapons before Diablo 3 starts! Already completed Wei and Wu, a bit more for Shu. That accounts for about 50%.

On another note, when a scenario says, "Demons are on high alert!!"...what difference does that make?

p/s Ding Feng is a fuckin' MONSTER. His moveset is incredible!

[dakkumauji]

I guess the lack of DLC being release here and the move of community was the kiss of death for this topic.

So, anymore, the rest of the crossover costumes for the Others have been release in Japan of course. Covers most of the Orochi only characters and some crossovers ones.

The rest can be found here: http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_...ostume_Pack_19

Da Ji > Lianshi Yoshitsune > Lu Xun Kaguya > Cai Wenji Himiko > Xiao Qiao Jeanne > Da Qiao Nemea > Zhou Tai Achilles > Taishi Ci Shuten Doji > Ding Feng? Benkei > Dian Wei Kiyomori > Deng Ai Taigong Wang > Cao Pi

It does look like there's even more DLC costumes coming out in June, with I guess the remaining six Orochi characters getting a crossover costume, what I'm guessing the new DW characters from DW7 getting a special outfit and the I'm guessing the original costumes from DW7 are being tossed into this game as well.

So the DLC is out?! Shittin' bricks here! I needems!

Uh, should have been more specific. Sorry, but the costume DLC is being released in Japan so far. We are still stuck on waiting for something more than the first stage pack.

They keep unveiling new DLC and now new characters for new versions of the game and then they go and release nothing here.
I've beaten it and am still enjoying playing it, but there is not much for me to talk about anymore.

[R_thanatos]

I'm currently doing all the mission in HARD and making everyone at S ....

Sigh the amount of thing to do ...

i haven't even started chaos yet ...

I this situation i don't even want to look at the dlc since i 'm not even remotely close to be donc with this game..

[Boogalogist]

I'm off to Diablo 3...I'll get back to this game....whenever bnet is down during my play time.

LOL. Hopefully by then, there will be tons of DLC already out.

[AdawgDaFAB]

Same here, I'm 250+ hours in, but there is nothing much to talk about since we haven't got any of the DLC Japan has outside of those first few releases. I've also been lazy about keeping up on the Japanese DLC releases since it only reminds me now of how much we don't have. D:

[The Grim Heaper]

I'm currently renting this from Gamefly and I seriously haven't put it down for a few days. If there's a such thing as too much fun, I'm having it with this!

[R_thanatos]

i have a question :

Does the rate profiency raise dependant on the difficulty level ?
i have domoki S rank , but can i play on easy or will it be faster to try to raise everyone else on normal or hard ?

[Kincaido]

I don't believe so. I think it depends on the star rating on the stage.

OK then ...so i can spam them in susano last stand Normal difficulty , kill everything on the map and be done ??

Alright ....

[dakkumauji]

OK then ...so i can spam them in susano last stand Normal difficulty , kill everything on the map and be done ?? Alright ....

The one where you rescue Ina is pretty good as well since for about half of the map, most of the enemies will pretty much be OHKO'd making it pretty easy to solo the map and get those kills.

Also, we finally get more DLC!

STAGE PACK 2 New stages will be available for selection under Select Battlefield. In-game music and additional weapons are also included. New stages: "Manhunt" (Weapon available: Dandyman) "The Art of War" (Weapon available: Flags) "Best of Both Worlds" (Weapon available: Hektor's Sword) "Duelling Heroes"" (Weapon available: Lepidoptera) "Memories of Vyashion"" (Weapon available: Cupid's Bow Additional music: 9 additional tracks will be available.

Source: http://www.tecmokoeiamerica.com/orochi3/dlc/
Just more stages but the additional music will be nice.

[AdawgDaFAB]

Yay finally!

It will be interesting to see the pricing on this. The 2-stage packs in Japan cost 100 yen, while the 3-stage packs cost 200 yen. Last time we got a combination of two 2-stage packs for $2.00.

I'm unsure of what two japanese packs they are combining for this, because pack 3 and pack 4 are both 2 stage packs. It looks like pack 3 is in it, but IDK what the other stages are from.

Anyways, pack 3s music had:

- SEASON IN CHINA -AZURE DRAGON- - Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires
- FAR ASIAN FANTASIA - Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires
- CHANGE THE WORLD - Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends
- Heart of the Rebirth - Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends

Edit: Judging from the stage names + weapons I think the other pack might be the one with these BGMs

- AVENGING BATTLE - Dynasty Warriors 4
- Twin Ax - Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends
- IGNITION - Dynasty Warriors 6
- Important Request - Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends
- Kawanakajima - Samurai Warriors 2

Based off what weapons the stages give and cross referencing with Koei Wiki,, I'm guessing it is combining pack 3 and pack 4 since pack 4 has 3 stages instead of 2.

So, the rest of the music we'll get is:

AVENGING BATTLE - Dynasty Warriors 4 Twin Ax - Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends IGNITION - Dynasty Warriors 6 Important Request - Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends Kawanakajima - Samurai Warriors 2

[AdawgDaFAB]

Technically that's Japan's pack 3 and 5. That wiki renamed them when the english Pack 1 came out (Pack 1 on that list is the combined Japanese pack 1 and 2).

If our guess about other pack is correct, then are we getting a new map?

I don't recall seeing this in WO3 at all, but I'm horrible at recognizing these things.

[R_thanatos]

Are you talking about Rescue at Yiling ?

[Kincaido]

Yeah, new DLC! Been waiting for this.

Are you talking about Rescue at Yiling ?

Yeah, I believe that's it. I think you can put it on easy if you want. Took me 2500-3000 kills to max out two characters with Dodomeki and that brace that raises proficiency.

[Seraphis Cain]

Shame that the new DLC is coming out on the same day as Dragon's Dogma. I probably won't get to it for a good while. But hey, at least I know that when I do decide to go back to WO3, I'll have new stages to play and new songs to listen to!

[R_thanatos]

Yeah, new DLC! Been waiting for this. Yeah, I believe that's it. I think you can put it on easy if you want. Took me 2500-3000 kills to max out two characters with Dodomeki and that brace that raises proficiency.

Last silly question : i'm forced to kill those ennemies with the characters that i want to raise proficiency or can i go gun blazing with a maxed dodomeki and never swap ?

[Kincaido]

Yes, you have to use the characters that you want to raise the ranks with. Dodomeki is just there for his skill. Don't need to switch to him at all if he's S ranked.

[Masamuna]

All I have left now is the Chaos trophy and I'll be done. Unfortunately I have no desire Weapon grind anymore plus I've gotten a taste of what Strikeforce is like so I'm ready to wrap this up.

I forget, is Wang Yi's alternate color yellow/orange? Need a third to round out my Sentai fanboy taskforce (Zhou Yu/Red, Motochika/Blue).

[Sunflower]

Yeah! New DLC! I'm excited, and I just can't hide it.

[R_thanatos]

i've started getting everyone into shape properly ( 5 rank ) and it's going at a nice rate thanks for the tips guys
With dodomeki , and a industry +2/5 bonus on the weapon i can do +1300+ kills on a 9 star level ( suzano last stand ) and raise them up to the rank i want ... ( with Lubu on the side to defeat some officers as they are low levels for some ) ..and everything should work better than expected...

[dakkumauji]

PSN store is already updated for some reason.

The stage pack is up for 2.99.

I'm guessing it does include a new map since it's quite bigger than the last one at 72 MB.

[AdawgDaFAB]

Seems like I was right about them skipping the 4th Japanese pack (fighting against / with Dong Zhuo) That one had two stages. I imagine we will get it next time will be another $3 pack and it will combine the skipped one with the next 3-stage pack.

I'm not 100% on this, because I'm horrible with recognizing stages just from looking at their maps, but I think all the 3 stage packs use maps not in the game already (and all 3 stages are that map).


Edit:
For anyone who gets today's DLC and is wondering what the weapons are:

- Duelling Heroes = Lepidoptera for Ayane.
- Memories of Vyashion = Cupid's Bow for bow characters
- Manhunt stage = Dandyman for sword and rapier characters
- The Art of War = Flags for twin sword characters
- Best of Both Worlds = Hektor's Sword for Achillies
