Is the update live in the US yet?

Kind of. The dlc itself is... And the Wii U even downloaded it but for some reason the update itself isn't at least not for me lol

Edit: well it's supposed to be live. Can't even use network link for adventure mode anymore but so far it hasn't found the update

 

[georly]

I'm excited to main volga.... hnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

Yeah I kind of figured. Just wanted to get Lana's summoning gate unlocked first. Doesn't look like it's happening before class starts

 

[bobohoro]

Holy shit, Volga slays. Fireworks everywhere.

 

[Kouriozan]

Volga is awesome, indeed.
But I'm in love with Cia's Y -> 6x X, it's like her own Link's spin move.
Her special attack has an huge range too.

ITS HAPPENING!!!!

on a side note, I misread the legendary skill and when I unlocked it I was very underwhelmed...

What legendary skill?

Edit: Boo you can't toggle her hat on her guardian of time outfit. Good thing I think it's cute

 

[Kinsei]

Update faster game!

The 25k skill that can show up on any weapon other than the master sword. It raises that weapons power up to 450.

 

[Sadist]

So wait, let me get this straight; you get Cia, Volga and Wizzro for free after the update?

Well I'll be. But... their lvl 2 and lvl 3 weapons? Those are included in the DLC I suppose...

 

[Portalbox]

Yep, their lvl 2 and 3 weapons are DLC only.

Yeah characters are free. Dlc provides new Epona weapon, story, adventure map, and Cia/Lana's guardian of time outfit

Am I crazy or does the guardian of time costume add some breast jiggle to Lana and Cia?

Edit: fucking phone loool

THAT'S ALL IT DOES?!?

I have weapons that are 420 with that dumb skill on it! BAH!!!!

That's pretty big though it basically makes them 6 star

Thanks.

Ah no biggie, guess I'll manage just fine with my other warriors

 

[Sammy Samusu]

What the hell, the characters are free?

Tonight will be fun.

 

[Kouriozan]

Indeed but they'll miss their level 2/3 weapons and heart pieces without Master Quest pack.

 

[jimi_dini]

Yeah, it's how DLC should be.

I think this is the first time that I have ever bought a season pack (and it seems that I won't regret it *cough* Naughty Dog *cough*).

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Are they planning to add HUD options too? I want to turn everything off, the game is gorgeous.

Indeed but they'll miss their level 2/3 weapons and heart pieces without Master Quest pack.

Eh, it's fine, I just want to try them.

 

[Neo Dark]

Heh spamming Cia's normal attack is fun. Love how those discs spin around then form a tornado

Edit: she doesn't have a complete level animation?

No one reads my OP. I'll just commit sudoku in sadness.

What did I do? Btw as far as costumes go... only the Guardian of time costume is in the master quest dlc pack.

Ain't she just wonderful?

That's a really cute outfit and, again, makes me wonder what's up with Cia's default.

sexy evil sorceress trope

 

[NeonZ]

Well, the legendary skill could be used to make lvl 1 weapons have lvl 3 power, so they should be perfectly playable even with lvl 1 weapons, although it'd take a lot of grinding.

 

[Kouriozan]

Edit: she doesn't have a complete level animation?

It's the one with 5 blue sphere flying toward her and she summons 4 Dark Link to destroy them + stomp the last one, then orders 2 Link to attack the camera.

 

[QisTopTier]

I just want to say the character select screen annoys me now xD

 

[Mesoian]

sexy evil sorceress trope

But I know, but in a game that is filler with almost a dozen really great designs, hers just comes off like, "LOOK AT MY BOOBS!"

Though when you realize that the plot of the game is a woman unraveling the fabric of spacetime because of thirst, I guess it's fitting.

In my fanfiction, Cia is just tossing outfits out of her closet onto her bed 80's fashion montage style until she finds the thing that all the boys are supposed to like, an old halloween costume half eaten by moths.

 

[The Lamonster]

Are all the preorder bonus costumes available yet or are those included in the upcoming DLC?

 

[TheMoon]

neither

 

[Kouriozan]

That's how you get the 500 KOs while in Focus Spirit in the very first stage of the Master Quest map.

 

[The Lamonster]

neither

ok thanks. I'll keep waiting to buy this game then.

 

[TheMoon]

ok thanks. I'll keep waiting to buy this game then.

wait at least until the ganondorf code promotion is over

 

[NeonZ]

Those eventually will be avaliable in the store according to the initial press release, but nothing else has been said about them yet. I think we'll only see news in November, since Club Nintendo Ganondorf costumes promotion runs up to the end of October.

 

[Fandangox]

Got the update, played as Volga real quick to get a sense of how he plays, he is really fun.

Gonna have to head home in a bit, but I want to try to see if I can make a network Link appear before leaving.

 

[mgc093]

So I just bought HW, I wasn't sure but I decided to give it a try. So what can I expect? Is the any replay value? Is there any hard mode?

[zulux21]

you can expect to murder.... a lot.
you can expect to use special moves... a lot.
you can expect to use a combination of two buttons... a lot.
you can expect rock versions of a number of zelda songs
tons of nods to the series causing the game to not feel like something made with zelda in mind, but something lovingly crafted from hardcore zelda fans.
As for replay value it will depend if you want to do everything... if all you want to do is burn through the story you likely won't have much reason to go back to the story... now if you want to collect rewards and get more and more power then there is a ton of replay value, with people clocking in over 100s of hours already.

not only is there a hard mode, there is a really hard mode that you won't be able to complete until you gain way way WAY more power then you needed to beat the game on hard.

suggestion: read OP

there is also that, as the OP is amazing and keeps updating. My condition of reading the OP once and never reading it again unless I need certain info I know was there makes me forget it often

 

[Kouriozan]

Just got an extra heart for Lana in Master Quest, does that mean she can't reach her max hearts amount normally?

 

[zulux21]

not sure I don't have everyone's hearts, but it also wouldn't be surprising if they added some more hearts in the dlc maps just for more things to collect since in general after the first 10 hearts they are pretty much pointless and just there to collect anyways.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

So I just bought HW, I wasn't sure but I decided to give it a try. So what can I expect? Is the any replay value? Is there any hard mode?

Expect a good game. You have 100 hours of value at least. There are multiple hard difficulties, the hardest of which you won't be able to complete. Also, why not just play the game instead of asking these questions if you already have the game?

Awwww.

 

[georly]

Yeah, i'd love to acquire those. Super lame. At this point, I hope they're free DLC because of the retailer split :/

I need to check my time played when I get home. I've almost unlocked every weapon in adventure mode.

 

[Neo Dark]

Am I crazy or does the guardian of time costume add some breast jiggle to Lana and Cia?

Edit: fucking phone loool

Probably to Lana since her outfit was more tight before. But for Cia, not really. You're crazy there. Should be looking at that hip action instead lol

It's the one with 5 blue sphere flying toward her and she summons 4 Dark Link to destroy them + stomp the last one, then orders 2 Link to attack the camera.

Oh yeah I remember that sequence from last month's trailer for her now. Kind of weird how it got skipped when I skipped the scenario's cutscene

Well that covers pretty much everything. Thanks
I was worried about the enemies because the look quite dull

 

[NeonZ]

I've seen a video showing Link with a partial third row of hearts, so the Master Quest maps have extra hearts for the base characters, on top of the base game.

 

[zulux21]

There is no way they will be free, given the pricing of DW8 dlc I would expect them to be around $1 per costume or like $5 for a pack of all of them.

Faire enough haha

when you see dull enemies you are looking at the peons. They don't do much but are there in huge numbers and cause a threat to your base, but not much threat to you. The more intelligent and harder to deal with enemies are the special enemies and commanders... both of which put up a good fight and if you don't pay attention can wrack up some damage on you. Most of your time will be spent quickly dealing with the peons and then playing with the harder more intelligent enemies. Some of which feel pretty close to fighting the enemy in a zelda game, just with you having access to much faster attacks and dodging (the lizards in particular feel really close to their original versions to me)

 

[Kouriozan]

Loving Wizzro's explosive attacks.

I see, thanks.

so it's not just a senseless fight. I think I'm going to enjoy this game more than I expected

Hmm, there is a tree to burn here but using the candle gets you a failed animation, whut?
