Dynasty Warriors Online: Battling with a Lieutenant

Dynasty Warriors Online players will have the opportunity to gain an ally in battle with the newly introduced lieutenant NPCs. Players will have to earn the respect of these lieutenants by defeating them in battle but will be able to fight alongside them afterward. Lieutenants take many forms from human to tiger, even Bambi-like deer are included. We've got several new screenshots in our Dynasty Warriors Online gallery.

The deer is plain silly. It's supposed to be historically themed around the Three Kingdoms Era, not around Hello Kitty...
"Traditionally, massively multiplier online games have been about three basic gameplay pillars combat, exploration and character progression. In Alganon, in addition to these we've added the fourth pillar to the equation: Copy & Paste."
So deer only exist in Hello Kitty?
Deer are a significant part of wildlife, and were even a subject of contention in the novels during one of Sun Ce's hunts.
Furthermore this is a game that takes historic events and greatly embelishes them on top of what the novels already did. Some of these characters never actually existed, and others, in real life, were actually killed long before they had any real effect on the events of said history (most of the female characters fall under this category).
Why then is it strange that a deer could be magical enough to possess power? Especially when there are various other animals in the game series far more diminutive that were a part of the scenarios...like the butterflies in Strike Force.

I'm kinda with scuubedoo on this one.
Deer in a game is expected, and fine, but shapeshifting *into one* is borderline retarded. Hell, I don't remember the option to do that in any of the console games under the same moniker.
Err, I misunderstood. I guess they are combat pets, which is a common theme, and therefore just nothing special.

Here's the thing I love about the Dynasty Warrior franchise. The developers look at each game and say, "Well this is good... but what if we had ten thousand more bad guys?" And then you know what they do? They add the thousand more bad guys!
Even though the games are not complex I just love turning off my brain and cleaving through wave after wave of bad guys, only expanding minimal effort in deciding who I'll ally with (spoiler alert, I ally with no one). I'm sure my friends and I are going to give this game a go, I just hope that characters with long reaching weapons aren't a broken and overpowered as they are in the console games.

"Borderline retarded" has always been the Dynasty Warriors motto if I remember correctly.

Yeah can't wait to play it fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! Go dynasty warriors!!!
fools be mentioning about animals having a glimpse of reference towards Hello Kitty as if they've been to the "historical three Kingdoms era". back up your mouth (or in this case: fingers) before mentioning the 'Out of reach'. your level of knowledge, and imagination cannot surpass a 5th grader, so please refrain from making yourself more of a moron than you already are. if neither of the conditions are met, please put your mouth back on my D*** (can't reveal other letters, because there are children in this post)
just waitin for taht beta invite now.......just waitin.......
Wow alot of comments about Deers who cares its a game if it was based on pure history i wouldnt play it would you? silly thing to say lol
Who cares about the dear I want a Ford F-150 baby because that would be epic.
Not to bash on the players that really play what is........."cookie cutter warriors" but I really don't see how a merc system is going to make this or any other cookie cutter game better.
Why don't they try putting something intresting in these games like Gigantic arm-flailing-tube-men in there that sing song when I ask them too, I mean that would atleast get 5 min of my attention.
Until then we have FFXVI thank god
What Ever You Do
Yeah...because FFXVI is sooo not cookie cutter......
Ok, playing DW was always some fun. But a deer?
Sort of crazy. But I'll take the tiger.
if only ffxvi was free to play i would totaly jump to that game in a heart beat>.
Err ok you guys have fun playing this blashemy of a game that show warlords like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan with panda pets... i 'll stick to their offline games thanks.

hey btw, how this game turning out?
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
where is my beta invite?
Btw guys gamespot has been giving away beta keys for a few days, but im not sure how many is left.
amen to that
its not no final fantasy is in every single one of them there is a brand new theme charactors and features if u think that cookie cutting u try and make a game series that is completly different from one another and try to keep it alive as long as sqaure enix has kept final fantasy alive cuz im srry the game has been out longer then ive been alive and im 20 yrs old and for a game to go on that long it needs to be original
Yup, cause having magical abilities makes WAAAY more sense.
btw it doesnt, it makes less
Apparently stating the truth in my sig is "trolling"
Sig typo fixed thanks to an observant stragen001.
for those people hating on the deer.
