is the MM adventure map going to be harder than the TP map?

I heard it was a bit easier but still pretty hard.

As an old time Dynasty Warriors fan, I have to say this game really owns. I didn't mind the repetitiveness in DW but it feels almost nonexistent in this.

edit: my one regret is buying the physical version

As long as the MM doesn't have any "Learn the Key to a Balanced Attack!" missions I'll love it.

I think the new map is amazing. You will probably love it.

It has much less of a focus on getting gold ranks, with many of the stages only requiring silver to progress (and do you really need to keep trying for that heart piece for Fi when the clock is ticking?). The fact that it resets has also, for me at least, made it easier to accept that some of the squares will be tried more than once. In the TP map (and a bit for the MQ) I got frustrated trying to get gold so I could leave the square and never come back to it. That's not going to happen for this map anyway.
Also it is much better themed than the TP map was, with adventure map items making sense in relation to the original Majora's Mask.

It has a new genre too: Competition maps, where you compete with the yellow Other Forces in taking either rupees, ko's or keeps. They are fun and very dynamic.

Fortunately there is apparently a +Materials potion mixture in the upcoming DLC.

Wait, for someone who has the DLC, does the potion just increase the chances that officers/giant bosses will drop materials instead of weapons, or does it just increase the chances of getting better materials?

Yo Marquise or anyone else with the MM pack: can you put more than one of the new 4k skills on the same weapon?

And a general question for anyone who happens to know: what does Strong Att+ actually do for buff C1s like Fi's, Zant's, Rapier Zelda's, etc? Does it increase the duration or make the buff stronger? In Zelda's case, does it do anything?
You can fuse two 4k skills onto one weapon.

On Zelda that skill makes the counter that Shadow Ninja 64 was talking about hit harder, I guess.

This thread has the other 4000 KO skills" http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/745183-hyrule-warriors/71129522

Heartstrong: Extra damage when health is full
Hasty Attacks: Increases attack speed
Finishing Move+: Increases the power of Weak Point Smashes
Special Attack+: Increases the power of Special Attacks
Focus Spirit+: Increases the damage you do in Focus Spirit
Normal Attacks+: Increases the damage of your basic attack string

If there are more than that, I don't think I've seen mention of them. Also, I've seen people describe Hasty Attacks as improving the attack speed of your character to Focus Spirit levels while outside of Focus Spirit, which seems really, really good to me.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So, switching on all enemy heath bars is kind of cool i guess, but surely that just masks the enemies you need to target that would usually overwhelm your regular guys. On top of that, don't most regular mooks just die to a couple of standard attacks?

You could consider dumping Legendary for it, assuming this is the level 3 mask we're talking about. 30 extra attack power might not add as much as having the Darkness effect hit multiple things.

When you already have 400 rocks, monster teeth, armor breastplates and bear asses, changing all of those to silvers and golds for a mission sounds a-ok to me.

Just saying it doesn't help you get imprisoned scales, and in fact makes them less likely to drop since they might get turned into pillars.

I'm probably going to use the Rupees+ potion every mission now since more rupees will let me level everyone up without having to play them.

Apparently people testing the new skills have found that the Regular Attacks+ skill only boosts the very first weak attack's damage and not that of the rest of the weak attack chain, which if true is just like why???

That first reward map, when fully completed (i.e. kill everything) with that rupees+ potion and the rupees+ skill netted me about 100k rupees and then the 40k rupee completion bonus :D

I imagine that other kill as many enemies as possible grind mission in the Master Quest map that's good for getting from 50-100 would be crazy good with that same combo. In addition, if you've got Fierce Deity link and his more or less infinite focus mode, you could probably get a few hundred thousand rupees on there every 10 minutes no?

The timing on that one is tight but it nothing like Darunia's. That one is tight AND you have to kill a poo poo load of Moblins with way, way too much HP who are all capable of knocking you out of A range in just a couple hits. Jesus Darunia's level 3 is a nightmare. :gonk:
