No Luck

@ItzPerka But if we were to have it again, how can we be cut off guard if we’ve already had it?

This would be amazing to have again. The boss fight not being the end as we would expect. They caught us off guard with most of the EE’s in BO7 so I expect the same for Totenreich.

@JCbackfire Mr backfire, I’ve really been trying to get this question answered, so please if you can, is out of the realm of possibility that Jason could look at anything that Treyarch has been doing recently and give artistic insight (not critical feedback) like on recent intro cinematics?

Wait... BLUNDELLATHON DAY 5... CONTINUED?!? A second Chop interview hitting the timeline?! ❤️😳 We love to see it. 🔥

@tdawgsmitty @TheCh0pper You never really were a big zombies guy right?

But wait, theres more.. BONUS EPISODE! Jason Blundell and I talk about zombies on my channel tonight at 7:00 PM EST this is the big one

@Freckleston63 @TheRealCobho Besides quick revive, what other perk adds more immortality when it becomes a perma perk?

@TheRealCobho There's so many ways in modern zombies to make yourself practically immortal from gums and perma perks and self revives and shrouds and augments. I don't think a wipe attack is a bad thing in these games

Wipe attacks in boss fights add intensity and jeopardy. The only reason people don't like them is cause of wipe attacks in older games where things like self rez's and perma perks didnt exist. Wipe attacks imo improve the experience without making it unfair, especially in bo7

@TheKorborium Absent from shadows*

@TheKorborium Is that not also the shadow man absent from the all the way to rev?

Despite the Warden being our main threat, I truly don't feel any stakes with him anymore. He dipped out as fast as he arrived, only to show up for 5 seconds and then dip out again. The stakes are now in our crew's inner conflicts. The antagonist is barely featured

@insanegamer52 Would you say the same thing about the gorod krovi intro cinematic?

Thinking about it more I am totally okay if part of the boss fight is fighting the Frost Giant (with or without Origins Robot). But I would want it to be similar to Astra Malorum where we got teased about the first phase of the boss fight before it transforms. Obviously mechanics matter a lot more in the long run, but for the sake of the "Wow" factor during the EE hunt I would love if the intro didn't spoil the entire boss fight and instead just teased part of it to garner hype.

@xpertfusion3 He’s probably the third shadow smith in a corrupted form like the others

I REALLY hope the Giant on Totenreich isn't *just* the Boss Fight of the map. I hope he plays a significant role in the core gameplay. Either as being something very similar to the Origins Robot where he walks through the map, or maybe something slightly different. And if he can step on you... I REALLY hope they give us a Golden Helmet Side Quest 🙏

@xpertfusion3 Touch*

@xpertfusion3 I honestly prefer astra’s intro to this one, still great, although the origins pose does nothing for me, I was hoping with all the vague posting that the reference was going to be something that impacts the game/story not just a aesthetic touc

@ZoneXbez That’s really not a hype thing. I thought an actual important returning thing was being teased with all the vague posting…..

THEY RECREATED THE ORIGINS INTRO🔥🔥

@MZC369 Honestly I prefer astra’s

Alright yeah that's gotta be one of the better cutscenes they've ever released

@parkerreturns @zackpr05 Sir, the world record of zombie rounds is waw shi no numa with over 10000 rounds in a single game

@NoLuck54595082 @zackpr05 Believe it or not, that was the idea. They didn’t envision the average game of zombies taking multiple hours to complete. You went as far as you could and then you died. Until bo2 ofc.

“Here you go sir, your fully Pack-a-Punch’d weapon” “That’s it? I don’t need to upgrade its rarity 5 times and spend an extra 45k points? “No sir you just pay the 5,000 upfront and the weapon is fully maxed out”

@JiaaAera @zackpr05 So did I until I realize how much more fun it is to shake things up

@NoLuck54595082 @zackpr05 We used to play zombies just to kill zombies

@punished_cobalt @zackpr05 Omni movement, wall jumping, augment combos, Mantling, modern is so much more in depth than old. I grew up with old, but I it can’t be modern in my eyes

@NoLuck54595082 @zackpr05 “Gameplay depth” and it’s just collecting 2 different resources at excessive amounts to do the same thing you used to be able to do with just one

@xpertfusion3 @zackpr05 Yea I don’t deny that, I just assert modern has it beat

@NoLuck54595082 @zackpr05 Between BO2-4, there’s giant robots, dragons, giant spiders, giant demons, an evil unicorn, Gods, a giant Elephant, werewolves, the Devil, aliens, Godzilla… I think pre-modern zombies has some crazy spectacle too

@xpertfusion3 @zackpr05 I agree, which is why the modern Easter eggs win flat out due to the spectacle of boss fights. I can never go back to a map like mob of the dead Easter egg where nothing really happens except black-and-white audio reels.

@NoLuck54595082 @zackpr05 That’s why you play a map with good Easter eggs and side quests so you always have something to do. Which gives way more gameplay depth than just getting points to upgrade a weapon more times.

@xpertfusion3 Not special enemies but in ashes they gave zombies specific outfits depending on what location you’re in, astronaut zombies at cosmodrome, waitress zombies at diner, cowboys in ashwood, etc

Something I REALLY want to see Zombies do more of, is area-specific special enemies. This would be the best way to have MANY special enemies on a single map, without it being overwhelming or turning into "boss spam" It hasn't been done that many times before, but one example is on Revelations, the Spiders will ONLY spawn inside the Apothican. Allowing them to exist on Revelations, but in a very limited quantity. I would honestly love to have maps again like IX, which has 8 special enemies, as long as they make some of them area-specific. This would also make different sections of a map standout more, making your experience within the map more varied.

@ZoneXbez @FirePhoenixIsMe Disagree

@FirePhoenixIsMe paradox was terrible

There's 1 mechanic on the map which has me worried, but I'm not completely in the know on how/when it's used. It could be implemented just fine, but it could also be absolutely horrible and oppressive. Make of this what you will, it's a nothing burger tweet meant to serve as a reminder for myself to see how it turned out when I actually get to play the map.
