Very disappointed with easter egg

[aegisknight]

The Shangri-La easter egg seems to have all of the problems of the Ascension egg, and so I will never be able to finish it.

There is no solo mode. This is the most annoying right now, because on top of not being able to finish, the eclipse just looks cool.

It cannot be done without the full cooperation of all 4 participants. This is the most annoying in the long run, because playing online has rendered me 100% impossibility of finding 4 competent players in the same room at the same time. Through the entire time I have been playing BO (since launch), I have played almost exclusively with randoms, and I have had a group of 4 players all consistently able to survive past round 15 exactly once on any map.

This far it has been all but impossible to get people to cooperate enough to open the pack-a-punch (thus far I have accomplished this exactly once online), let alone negotiate complicated steps to get any easter egg done.

Here's to hoping that it can be accomplished solo, but I'm already highly disappointed with the multiplayer. I probably will have to organize a group on these forums to get the achievement, then never accomplish it again (compared to the CotD egg that I would run around and finish in about half the games I played).

I think this egg is the best. If it was solo too, it would be too easy, and totally different. Just find some good people and ask them if they wanna do it, and they will. I got up to the dynamite part with randoms last night, and someone disconnected.

Im hoping that there is an alternative way to do it solo and we just don't know it yet. Call of the dead did it so there should be no reason why they can't do it for this level even if the steps need to be tweaked to make it harder.

well then you got extremely lucky. The only time I can play is during the day, with kids who can't play.

And either way, any time it requires 4 people, I'm turned off. Getting 4 to cooperate is just too much of a pain, it always has been. On top of people who just suck, there are people with no patience, and people with no mic.

The shrink ray has been a disappointment too, it shrinks just a little pool and they grow back too quickly. If you are trying to clear a path, its always going to miss at least one, meaning you're completely screwed. I've gone down more than once with 10 minis and 1 biggie just because you can't kick them away faster than they hit

Isn't that what this is for

I think the steps are amazing, but the finished product not so much

Your the savior.

Having 7 perks forever is bad? nah its better than the wunderwaffe! The wunderwaffe is good, but this would help out alot if you get downed

I meant in terms of the story. But personally if want WW over perks. But I mean that it wasn't good in terms of the story.

[aegisknight]

the teammate finder is good, but I generally like playing with randoms, its how I make friends. But in terms of EE, its still much more difficult than getting 1 or 2 more to cooperate compared to all 4

[Tom852]

Well, in multiplayer you get all 7 perks and, YOU DONT LOOSE THEM when you die.

This would give you infinite quick revives in solo... Would be a little bit crazy.

Then all treyarch has to do is make it so people on solo loose their quick revive.

If anyone on this thread wants to try the easter egg, add me now, gamertag is razbrazz

I'm not the best but I know my way around the map and can handle myself.

A few rules.

1) Have to have a mic

2) Have to be patient

3) Want to actually complete the easter egg

4) Be able to play zombies

5) Be good at working in a team of 4.

in all fairness, Treyarch are idiots, and its a very valid comment if you think about it.

Treyarch make this amazing sub game called Nazi zombies and is the best thing since free porn, they then add conspiracy thoeries and a story line that makes you want to figure it out yourself, and on top of all that they get the best possible voice cast for the job (excluding call of the dead) yet...

despite all that, Treyarch made 2 very big mistakes, one which is the direct result of the other, let me explain

we have lobbies in which to play online with random people, yet 90% of them dont know about the easter eggs or just cant simply do them for what ever reason, i myself have been in several matches where everyone (except) myself dies on round 5 or less, that or they leave when ever they do get downed. which brings me to the point where i begged and pleaded Treyarch across every board i could find and all Treyarch employee twitter accounts asking for easter eggs to be completed if you play solo aswell as co-op (after Ascension) which thankfully in COTD they did

however i like to play with random people, its what makes xbox live great, however the problem is as mentioned above, people either suck or just dont know enough about zombies to do the Easter eggs, which is why Solo should come into play, yet they dont include easter eggs to be completed solo on Shangri-la, which i think is a really bad move, as its not our fault most people are twats or under 12 on XBL

i dont personally care about the achievements, i got bored when i got all W@W zombie achievements. but i do love the zombie story and would love to be able to go through, analyse everything at my own pace

in closing of this rant, Treyarch sure as bloody hell better do one last map before MW3 otherwise that in my eyes has ruined what was a great run for Treyarch (Der Riese was perfect ending, despite the fact kino was supposed to be the last for W@W)

i like the egg on this new map, took us ages to work out memory stones, and i still havent done the next steps. cotd egg was way too simple, and i finished it by day 3, .

i was the first person on this forum to find the completed cotd egg, and i posted the spanish video (first proof of completed achievement anywhere) minutes after it was done, and also informed ngtzombies who i believe may have acted on my information. my only claim to any sort of fame.

this new egg requires a good team, communication, fast actions and a bit of luck too and for me all these things have breathed new life into the game again, giving us all something to do that is a actually challeging and rewarding. it's the first i'v heard of 7 perks as this time i have only looked at the steps that i have reached, so as not to spoil the fun too much along the way, bit gutted that i read that bit but ho-hum, it was my own fault coming in a thread with this title.

bye bye

We complain about EVERYthing in zombies...

Why can't we just be satisfied with what Treyarch gave us. I'm sure this was a pain in the ass for Treyarch to set up. We wanted more complicated easter eggs and we got one. Treyarch is just trying to stress the use of Teamwork.

I personally think this Easter Egg was amazing and was by far the most compicated and best EE yet. Same goes for the map

I think there is more to the shrine than people are taking out of it.

i think Treyarch did a great job, even tho i would like it for solo too, but who cares! they have put so much work into this, why not appreciate it?

they made the map so you could not run rape trains for 20 hours without dying like kino, ascension and CotD. they made this map pretty DAMN good!

that is great if you ask me, that makes the map challenging, more fun. running a rape train for several hours isn't all that fun, until you die and can brag about it to your friends :L

so shortly, Treyarch made this map very good, challenging, which means more fun.

you need good communication and good teamwork, and more difficult to do the easter egg.

everyone complains about the zombie maps, but still you never get tired of zombies!

so realize it, zombies, Shangri-La, the focusing stone easter egg, is very good.

so everyone just be happy, picture if you had made a zombie map like this with a easter egg like this, and already after one day, people are complaining... that wouldn't be so fun would it?

[nhcre8tv1]

I thought the egg was cool...

Besides that one Gary guy. I want to kill him.

"I'mma blow this thing like can 'o beans!"

"How about a nice cup of STFU?"

[ZombieTrain]

honestly u complain about playing with randoms yet your on a site filled with tons of people who are avid zombie players and are willing to complete the EE and get to high rounds. Ive already met like 6 people and added them to my friends list. I did the EE today with them so that is my suggestion.

[eb gamesftw]

i havnt got this map or played it yet but wheen i do id liek to do the easter egg :)

I agree.

This site is FULL of good zombie players, ask anyone here and they will gladly play with you.

[TheCrows]

I got up to the dynamite step with MrDalekJD yesterday. :D

[Sigint]

Some people simply cannot play online because of various reasons, including no gold LIVE membership, or very little bandwidth per month. For me its because of my dad and because the Black Ops servers are F*CKED as i cannot join games. I have NEVER played zombies with 4 people. Today was the first day that i played with 3 people.

I am also disappointed that I cannot do the egg myself

[teh shrew]

just be greatful that the even put in a damn easter egg insted of it just beening a anthor five or kino/rant over
