Thanks for the games guys! I better get some sleep!
Hopped in.
It's kinda sad how a week or two before the game came out SE store sent me an email basically saying "W-w-we still have 100 CEs of this if y-you want to buy it... No pressure or anything. Just the fate of any subsequent Dragon Quest games being localized rests on the balance is all." Just cements how unpopular Dragon Quest is in the West, unfortunately. If only their marketing got their heads on straight and marketed it as "Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame does the character and monster designs in this JRPG!" the casual market would buy it in droves.
It's surprisingly good, by comparison to Pirate Warriors 3 and other Musou games. Terry just recently joined my party and he's insanely strong. I also really like Alena's fighting style. Not surprising that I would prefer to play old Dragon Quest characters as opposed to the original characters from this game. Been doing a lot of side-quests. My only gripe so far is unfortunately a lot of the Story Missions have been "guard-this-target-from-the-waves-of-enemies". It's also an incredibly gorgeous game. If this is any indication of what DQ11 will look like or if it'll look even better then I'm quite pleased.

I remember when Afro used to think self-res was the best thing ever and gloat about his second life.

After Iron Banner is over you know where to find me.Still need my Arc Flayer Mantle.
Taking a break from Iron Banner today to play some Dragon Quest Heroes.
I must say that I think Bungie tweak the playlist, Dust Palace comes so much more often, sometimes I got in a bunch of times in a row.
Titans are like Mario Galaxy. Beautiful and fun.

How's Dragon Quest Heroes actually? I've played loads of Dynasty Warriors and what not, on a rank of 1-5 how cooler does it make the formula?

Yeah, I almost made a thread here about S-E being super desperate about trying to push the CE of this game. The emails went from "pre-order now!" to "running out soon!", then despite it being a S-E store exclusive it was suddenly available on Amazon and Gamestop, then their emails were like "oh god pls", then the "100 units left!" one etc. It was hilariously sad.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it, surprised at how well it's been received here. I've been playing the Musou games since their inception, I think Hyrule Warriors (and to a lesser extent the Gundam/One Piece/etc spinoffs) have really opened a lot more people in the west up to them. Personally I though the CE goodies were not at all worth the extra $40, but my wife is a DQ nut and wanted it sooo.

Voldemort? He's a pretty scary guy. I bet he plays a Warlock.

For sure. Honestly I'm okay with a raid exotic that's super useful in the raid but useless everywhere else. At least it has a really cool quest line (kinda tedious but not terrible), very unique and compelling weapon model and animation, interesting lore behind it, etc. Lots of stuff to appreciate about ToM, I can understand why it's Luke's favorite.
OG Vex Mythoclast is still the raid exotic king though. It had an amazing unique weapon model, sound effects and firing style. I'd recognize it immediately from across the Mothyards if someone was using it on Patrol. Most importantly it absolutely melted fools in VoG or any PvE activity. A perfect reward for clearing the hardest content (terrible RNG notwithstanding....).
Of course it absolutely melted fools in Crucible as well. So they nerfed it hard by practically halving the mag size and dropping the base damage ~33%. That hit the PvP sweet spot of strong-but-not-OP but sadly removed it from the high-end PvE discussion. It was still a blast to use and effective for solar burn NFalls but it was nobody's go-to raid exotic anymore.
Remember when they slightly buffed the Attack value because it was supposed to be great for Crota's End? But do you remember anyone actually using it in Crota's End? Fusion rifle nerfs were piled on top to make it buggy and unreliable, further driving it from weapon loadouts across the Galaxy.
Then Necrocasm came along with a boring, grindy quest line, not one but two RNG drops, and a shitty weapon model that was literally the Murmur with holes poked in it. Fired boring green auto rifle bullets with an exotic perk so useless I assumed it was bugged. So they buffed it literally a week before making it obsolete. The only two things it was good at were funny Crucible trains and stealing Nami's heart.
TL;DR: I like Touch of Malice.

Vex Mythoclast was love. PvP was never the same after it was nerfed.
as long as someone is counting so i don't have to.

Welp, guess I should buy one. Thanks.
So it's the Emblem, shader, and class item that give bonus rep right? Nothing else? Do old bought ones work too?

Self Rez in Trials is a legitimate strategy that opponents have to be prepared . Outside of that, a well timed Self Rez can be the difference between a wipe or a clear during Progression Raids.
It's definitely got uses if you stop to consider different applications. It's just about whether or not an individual player has these applications in mind during play.

don't think that's how break ups work.
I haven't played Hyrule Warriors, so I can't comment on the mission structure. But in Dragon Quest Heroes you have a small hub world where you can buy Weapons, Armor ("Orbs" in this game), take on side-quests, receive mail from various NPCs you help out or story important characters, an Alchemist you can create accessories with various stat boosts, the Medal King who you trade in Medals you collect through various means in the game for rare materials for alchemy or straight up powerful weapons and armor, and lastly you have a bar where you can switch out your active party. You have up to 4 characters you can switch control of on the fly in battle. There's also a World Map where you choose your destination whether it be the main Story missions, side-quests, or revisiting old areas where you can fight enemies endlessly for Gold, Ingredients, and EXP. As a pure Dynasty Warriors/Musou game I'm sure you can find some fun with this game, but I think you'll get the most enjoyment out of it if you're a Dragon Quest fan as well.
If you'd like to see the game firsthand here's a shameless plug to my stream where I'm currently playing it

Despite being a big Dragon Quest fan, nothing from the CE really struck me as amazing, so I just got the regular copy of the game.
you make it sound like TLW wasn't murdered and is coming back
I'll remember this when I use my alts
