  1. For what its worth, I finally got round to growing my first imprint plant last night. Although everyone was suggesting use water, I stuck without any water & shot each round for 3 rounds with the KT4 (Not masamune). I grew 3 plants at once. Of the 3, 2 became imprint, go figure.

    It's a 1/3 chance or something.

    No need for water, but I suggest blue anyway, so you can get rewards in some form or another. 

     

    yes that's what I had read, however I take everything on reddit with an industrial bag of salt, the post had said there was a 33% chance if you didn't use water based on the possible outcomes & that the blue plant reduced your odds of getting one as there were more rewards on offer. As someone who has yet to even create a bloody revive plant I'm very keen to know!

  3. Im hearing reports that it is better to NOT water the seed at all but shoot it with the KT4 each round & that this apparently has a higher probability of generating the imprint plant because the alternative is a bad plant rather than a number of rewards? However hearing you guys above say you have had better results with purple is would likely render this untrue?

  4. Great work, very much looking forward to it, this site is become more and more the complete resource for all things zombies with each passing day. Keep up the good work.

  5. The first one immediately makes me think of the various memories of the different richtofens bleeding together and him referencing when Sam was in the mpd.

    the second one possibly when he had control of the mpd but that makes me question him having access to the 'power of the ancients' and their/it's part to play in the grand scheme of things. 

    Maybe the power of the ancients is related to the something far worse in here quote in relation to the mpd?

    This actually looks so awesome. If the basics look this good, I can't wait to see what stuff the modding community can bring us. Hopefully in the future, Activision will let us download and play these maps on the current generation of consoles. Being on console and not being able to get any other maps outside of the Season Pass really makes me wish I had a PC.

    Hit the nail on the head, I'm hoping that this will hopefully prolong the game life for the console users as I wont allow myself to get sucked back into PC gaming & the treyarch iteration of cod is pretty much the only one i get anymore, purely for zombies, here's hoping!

  7. When feeling up for the extra work i will just knife until i can get the HVK as the first gun but not going via the mule kick machine, standard route through sams room.

    usually setup is: 1st dragon, shield part, open to power, 2nd shield part, anti grav, 3rd shield part, 2nd/3rd Dragon, HVK, Jug then Double Tap. I have unfortunately become a product of the system and because of BO2 I never buy QR unless doing an EE! I should really pick it up more.

  8. it is 4, i believe you can do up to killing the shadow man part solo (someone correct me here) but the giant worm wont spawn?

    I think it may also be possible to do it with 3 on the basis that you had 4 at some point but 1 may have been disconnected, you cant however bring someone else in but if you can do the last part with 3 ive heard it would work.

    But yeah, 4 is the number for this one :)

  9. A good bunch of solid tips up above, if it makes you feel any better it took me close to 30 attempts to get this done.

    I highly encourage you to do it solo, not that i have tried coop myself but generally feedback is that more players makes it harder, the trade-off being that outside of QR you can get revived.

    Id go with Ragdos combo, I had exactly that minus the plunger but with a raygun & mule kick. I had started to take mule kick as my previous failed attempts with 2 guns was an ammo issue at one point, however it was my lack of understanding that saw me burn too much ammo, I think storm bow & drakon is fine.

    Danger closest was the singular difference on my successful attempt as the panzers were simply not a problem allowing me to constantly run circles, which I encourage & don't burn ammo on skeletons. Just focus on getting good loops keeping the skeletons together, once you feel a bit of breathing room you can just keep an eye out for the lightning and when you put the DGs down.

    One thing im not sure of is whether or not having fireworks kill some skeletons when i had to helped recharge my DG faster or not but it did seem to always be available when I needed to slam it down.

    When the keeper does his lightning attack, hide behind a pillar and a charged storm shot at your feet will keep you safe.

    Make sure to get a fresh shield before going in!

    Good luck & If im free, im happy to help you out on xbox :)

    I love spawning as many Margwas in co-op games with strangers.... haha.

    Your siggy... was that Timesplitters 2? Great game! 

    mine?

    While it was not from there, i do seem to remember that phrase being in there somewhere! Was also the name of an album for a group known as the prodigy, Im actually not sure where I got it from to be honest!! been gaming too many years now :) 

    I think Im going to get on SOE later now just so I can get the sword out!

  11. I really enjoy the upgraded sword, cant say I've used it for high rounds as I've only ever used it during the EE & haven't been back to SOE in a while but i always enjoyed the actually process of upgrading them with the multiple margwas!

    RIght now reddit can't shut up about it, as are youtubers. That's basically 90% of the Call of Duty Demographic right there. 

    I think 90% is overly optimistic, if you dropped the zero it might be closer. A HUGE portion of players have no interest in frequenting boards or doing anything outside of the game itself. The Codz community is truly something unique & I'm sure quite a few people here are the info source for their respective groups/friends & likely without them would not know how to do the more hidden elements of the game. (Margwa Hat what?!)

    The challenge you have is reaching the unheard masses who dont frequent said boards, the tiny % of players that is represented by reddit etc has to be so vociferous but in the end it may not be enough as only your wallet matters here unfortunately! 

    The youtubers carrying a lot more weight these days but still in the grand scheme of thinks far from reaching anywhere close to 90%. Have a little check of the below, while these aren't 100% accurate it gives you an idea of the numbers we are talking about & fully appreciate a lot of those people wont even play online.

    While I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment in regards to the COD points/RNG issue, if you want to effect change you should see what numbers you are working with. I'm sure ATVI work with the philosophy if the majority aren't complaining that means they are happy which we know is not the case, more often then not the majority are just too lazy or not effected enough to want to do anything about it (that's me) :)

     

  13. I wish you every success in your boycott, my fear is your audience of people who will act/speak will be too small, with that being said there is only one way to get their attention and that is with your wallet.

    I have found the best weapon to use is the PaPd Drakon aka Bahamut with the AAlternate Ammo Type, Dead Wire, along with Double Tap 2.0. 

    On solo with this setup you can take out the first phase as well as the second without reloading. They also take care of the Panzers fairly quickly.

    I agree as that was in my final load out for the successful attempt, i feel like it almost trivialized it compared to when i did not do enough damage to him previously, especially the third phase, I'm fairly certain i didn't use an entire clip but my memory escapes me there...

    On a side note on my successful attempt (again i could be imagining here) but it seemed my Ragnarok charged a lot faster & no idea how, as this time i stopped killing any skeletons and just kited them. I had fireworks on my drakon, does that help charge them faster?

  15. apologies for the ignorance but can you clarify why Killing time should be taken, i have yet to make it to phase 3 so am soaking up as many tips as possible. I have yet to go in with danger closest and that will be my attempt later today.

    The perfect time to release it would've been when PS4 got Awakening, that way Xbone users still have something to look forward to and play around with for a month, releasing it now makes little sense in my opinion as it could distract some users away from the new DLC which is now out for Xbone, and ATVI will want more focus on that surely.

    While you are probably right, you could argue that releasing blops1 BC would benefit them as their old DLC is still original price and therefore could be a nice little cash cow as I think a lot would want at least the rezzurection map pack.

    But now with horror as I type this, I now have that daunting feeling it wont be released until after PS4 get DLC 4 so that as you say they can keep the focus on the current blops while still being able to generate a surge in revenue with the release of BC & the associated map packs after the normal game cycle. Youd have to imagine ATVI would want it out prior to the next COD release however.

    I hope im wildly & completely wrong as I have been saving Shangri-La for the occasion. Played a bit of Nacht last night & keen to play it all again but on one console.

    The creatures we fight in Shadows of Evil are put there for a very specific goal in mind. To punish them for their misdeeds and to complete a task. As we see in the opening cutscene, our characters have killed. Because of this, the Shadow Man sends them to a twisted version of Morg City filled with the undead and the apothicon creatures. It's like the Mob of the Dead curse if you will. Four characters are sent to a twisted version of their own world to be punished. This time around however, The Shadow Man has sent us there to both be tortured and to complete his plan destroy the dimension our characters are stuck in.

    thx for the reply & I did presume this to be one pathway, effectively when we all die their reality dies with them & not a continuous world.

    I'm not sure it's quite the same as MotD in that rergard. 

    Hello, @Smok3y! Good to see you hangin around. As you probably guessed, I couldn't keep up with that 'waking at 5' plan. lol! Did you ever get a team to finish Origins with? If not, it's still on my list as well....so maybe someday! C'est la vie.

    But I'm under the impression that one of three things actually happens:

    A. The characters are eventually overrun

    B. The characters survive, and though it isn't shown (because it is a game) the enemies are defeated after 'Apocalypse Averted." What they do afterwards is unknown. 

    C. Apocalypse Averted, though it does not show in game, reverts the world to normal and places them back in the real world. 

    Haha one day we will get origins done! 

    The reason I ask is because in BO1 - 2 we can assume that once we die the zombies simply turn their attention elswhere on the search for more humans.

    In bo3 with our new entities it is giving quite the headspin. However now i think about it, even though i dont have the map, there are keepers in Der Eisendrache & this would be a continuous world unlike our SOE crew.

    Ill tell you where im coming from, after begrudgingly watching heroes reborn it only clicked weeks after as they had a similar emphasis on 'save the children'. Im now wondering if the children that need to be saved are sam and eddie on the basis that as far as i know they are the only 2 humans so far to have been inside the MPD and as a result may have some additional powers that even they are yet to discover.

    They have potentially been sent back in time as children, so that they, the last hope against the destruction of the universes can be hidden from those wanting the ultimate apocalypse. At least until the right time reveals itself. for the children to save the world.

     

  18. Hello codz!

    I tend to lurk more than anything on these boards while reading some of your phenomenal stories & dissections of lore & wanted to ask a question that may have no concrete answer ( the story of our lives!)

    What happens when our protagonists die in soe? specifically where do our enemies focus there attention?

    During the map we are met with an onslaught of zombies, margwas, meatballs, apothicans, those flying things... but what happens when we are not there for their attention, would they fight each other in our absence, would they join hands and sing kum ba yah around a smoldering, is there some unknown that can potentially control both?
