Yeah...every decision that we make can change something completely...and every decision we make there might be a negative point to it...for example if Guan Suo does get the martial arts, because of tweet...the new chara(Like Lu kang or Lu fan)...that if koei decided to added them..would have a martial arts(hand to hand) too might get kicked out because the martial arts moveset is already in Guan Suo's hand...and they need to rework to make new concept of the chara..each thing we make will have a consequences...good or bad

Personally, I just want a Fantasy costume pack like they did for the new characters in DW7. It was much like the alternate costumes from previous games but more...alternate? I really love some of the Fantasy costumes over the actual costumes. *coughbaocaiwenjilianshicough*

My idea?

Avatar the last airbender movesets. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and a moveset with all of them combined.

ZZG
 
I also want twin fans as a dlc weapon....because it fits her more...well that's what you get for asking Daqiao's twin canes...
I can't with this. I also want the twin fans back, but not for Daqiao. Having her with the canes is a godsend, because it finally distinguishes her from her younger sister (and the fact that the canes are so freaking fun to use). I for one am glad Daikyo made that petition, so thank you Daikyo-chan ^_^ :wub: .

Also Koei might have already planned the canes as dlc from the get go, so to bash someone like that (I saw that post in the DW8 thread) is quite frankly idiotic.

I only want Xiao Qiao with the twin fans because the iron fan's stance is hella awkward for most of the females, including its EX user who's supposes to be the "owner" of sorts of it. Plus nostalgia.

If that last airbender set made it in... I would definitely hook pang tong and zuo ci UP! :woot: :2up: lol... The Iron Fan set definitely needs a tweak. I was thinking it would be a cool set if they fought with it closed in the s-string like a short sword or something. Opening during running animations, blocking, and charge attacks. And instead of holding it so weird... Have it closed with the user either tapping it in his other hand or straight up pointing at people with it. lol... Thats aaaaallll the way off topic though.

Back on topic? Hmmm... kinda hard actually. A lot of it has already been mentioned. How about new mount skins? Like for new horses and everything. A dragon for a guardian animal? :shifty: Maybe a lil extreme.. I could definitely see them doing something along those lines.

Since every character is becomming declone now, we only have 2 pairs left of characters to declone.

Do people think that DLC weapons will return?

I think they will, it brings more replay value in a sense when there is something new to try out and use. Then they can be used for new chracters down the line.

I have had another idea for what Koei could issue as downloadable content.

Possible co op missions for 2-4 players, would probably be from the storyline but again using the what-if stages depending on who you have to use. Hopefully they would make them harder depending on how many players take part, would need to have serious teamwork as well.
Co-Op missions. Sounds like a pleasant idea to include, especially with Online Co-Op being utilized.

@Averryy I'm thinking it will... Koei made good money off of those weapons. It would be wise if they did.

I think I'd definitely like new stages. They could bring back old battles and what not from the previous games. It'd also be cool, if they had those battlefields from the old games (along with some new ones) and re-used them for something new. I liked how in DW5 (and perhaps in the older games as well) they had a different map per battle (unless, of course, it was the same battle, just in anothers story mode).

Aside from new/older stages/maps, I'd like to see more costumes. It would be cool if, say, they made joke weapons and designs (like in Sengoku BASARA), and then they made a map or what not that you had to complete to get that outfit/weapon. Maybe it could change (like the officers and objectives of the battle and what not) depending on the character your using? I dunno, I think it would definitely be different, and different is usually good. Right?

On the subject of weapons, I'd like to see more of that, too. Be it joke weapons, or serious ones with some nice stats.

Also, it would be nice to see some new/more BGM. Older BGM's are "old but gold", but new ones would be nice, too. Like for instance, if they add in my "joke stage" that I stated earlier, they could have a more light hearted BGM to add to the game.

Why thankyou, they could do so many different kind of things;

A proper story to play co op with 2+ people, most probably just the storyline but with different objectives for each player would be nice I think.

I think maybe like an arena battle, 4 players defeat as many officers as possible. Like maybe in waves? As the waves continue the enemy gets harder, only sometimes do you get health and power-ups etc. i think that would be fun and challenging.

I've been wanting a horde type mode in dw forever so... Yes. Hell Yes! All they have to do is put you in castles with multiple levels and doors. Have you and your friends work together to unlock your way through. You start with one weapon and have to earn your weapon switch. They can have the lil spots on the floor like they did in dw6e where the health items spawn randomly and normally it would take a wave completion to get the items. But you can sacrifice points to generate health if its really needed. As you play through the difficulty cycles itself and the player has no choice of control over it. Beginning at very easy and ending at nightmare. On the last wave they can add a twist where you have to escape the castle as it burns down or because your forces become to heavily surrounded. You should also have access to "purchasing" siege weapons and the like as well. They can even incorporate the strategems they have in 7e a lil to help out when the waves get heavy. That would force it to being an empire mode... Though empires needs something else to set it apart. Good show...

:innocent: Xu Sheng. :wub: Sorry I just could not resist.

Sure there won`t be any dlc chars, caz Xl is the good place to put some new faces, but if there were dlc chars, they could be like Xu Sheng and Cao Hong, some guys who looks like more optional than "must".

Don't see it happening in 8... Maybe it could, depending on where they are with the idea of it. But Koei does seem interested in trying a massive dlc upload of XL and empires. So whereas dlc characters may be hard to squeeze for now... I wouldn't rule the possibility out completely.

One thing that I'm going to say is that adding characters as a dlc can be problem because
1. Can affect the cutscene and officers.
2. It's going to take some time to complete it along with the unqiue weapon.

I would like to see some of the forgotten DW weapons make a comeback in a dlc, Huang Gai's Iron Rod, Gan Ning's Twin Daggers, Dian Wei's Wrecking ball, Xing Cai's fork and shield, Xiao Qiao's double fans, and Meng Huo's Pillar

Only a problem if it is treated poorly. They don't have to be adds that affect story or cutscenes at all. This is why we have free mode. Or any other mode outside of campaign. Yes weapons and movesets take time... We are a week into January though, so thats time that it wouldn't take away from development of the game as it stands. We're at the victory lap, Koei is likely adding all polish and testing for bugs at this point. Anything else beyond jan and feb is just icing on the cake. Dlc, be it characters or story, are 2 types of dlc that has proven to be big sellers for other companies in gaming. Don't see why Koei should be limited or void of this particular type of dlc. Especially if we wanna see them succeed. More DLC= More money= more success... DLC boils down to a choice, one that I say.. If you don't like that particular style of dlc... Then simply don't buy it. Not saying that's what you're saying... Just see a lot of people against things that would help Koei more than it would hurt them.

Adding characters wouldn't be too much of a problem, they'd just have to release a patch, it would be similar as to what happened to Guo Jia in dw7 XL, his generic just gets replaced with the unique design.

In the case of cutscenes that wouldn't be too much of a problem either, since not too many generics are actually featured in cutscenes brand new ones could be created alongside the dlc character.

On the note of horde - I am liking the idea of that castle, starting with basically nothing but learning and getting stronger as you progress through the waves, sounds great to me! Wish they did that, heck it would make it more replay able don't you think?

Definitely would... Especially if strategems played a role. You could block a path with the rocks temporarily halting advance from the horde from a spot that is usually considered a blindside, forcing them to bottleneck around from another advantageous route for your squad to capitalize on. Keep the player honest though and let the AI use siege weapons to break barricades. Get to laxed in position and get flanked when you thought it wouldn't happen. Players would need to think about who has what strategem on their team and use them wisely. I'd imagine racking up points barricading one entry, and a friend hitting the Archer volley on the other entry as soon as they make it there. Could help Koei shine with strategy elements in an online mode.

That's a great idea, I didn't think about adding anything like that to be honest. Nice going, as dlc they could release different maps for the horde mode with new strategies, weapons, power ups etc. this is starting to sound like a mode I really wanna play!

If I could find someone up to pitching this stuff to Koei in japanese... Maybe we could make enough noise to get it to happen. I would also like to pitch the idea about the aeriel s-string, was told it's best to deal directly to the japanese branch though. That's a skill I'm not equipped with yet. I think it's definitely something that could possibly help with sales here in the west. Anyone speak Japanese, and are up for the task... Inbox me. For now, believe this autobot is about to roll out. Getting sleepy.

Yeah it would be best to go with the Japanese branch, since that's where the games are actually made. I think we would have to make a tremendous amount of noise to be heard for what we want here, I think it would be best to wait and see what this new mode is supposed to be, before we start asking for dlc modes. I have a feeling this new mode will involve co op anyways.

After seeing that everyone is probably going to be decloned I want then to really throw some cool weapons in, I for one would love to see a cane, sword and dagger, spear and shield and returning weapons all which were mentioned above.

I remember reading that they wanted to create a mode just for Co Op. One that had it's own story. They talked about how they wanted to improve the co op in the warriors series, to make it more of it's own experience. So your assumption may not be far off the mark there at least.

Really? Where did you read that to? Was this for DW8 or just warriors titles in general?

If it is so then I am more then happy, hopefully there is some kind of story to it, wouldnt want just online free roam. Would get tedious after a while, especially once youve done every stage together.

ZZG, I didn't ask for Da Qiao's twin canes. I just wanting the characters to declone. Xiao's the only problem that I'm dealing with, so thats fine. I guess that make sense for Fu Xi and Nu Wa.
You misunderstood me again.....well i meant to say this is what happens to some people who wants twin canes to come back(Do you like twin canes), i dont mean it was you who wre the cause of this sorry for my wrong grammar on that...

Xiaoqiao is the current problem since her having twin fans is more better...
Don't worry about the grammar. What I'm trying to say that I'm not among of people for wanting the twin canes back in the game. It's because that I never played strikeforce 1 and 2. I don't know if I like the twin cans or not, but I'm glad that Da Qiao got declone (even though twin fans suit her well, but it's all good).

Getting to DLC idea, I wouldn't mind seeing like own character's storyline, similar to DW4XL. I would be down to see that (if that's a new mode. If not, you can put on free mode).

Another thing will be... Crap, I forgot what I was going to say. I'll edit later.
