I wish Treyarch would give us Der Eisendrache related Calling Cards...

Discussion

SPOLERS FOR DER EISENDRACHE BELOW!!!!!

TL:DR: I would LOVE to see some new Calling Cards related to Der Eisendrache and future DLC maps which can be earned by completing certain tasks on the new map(s).

Full post: (Btw I used the search function, found topics which go in a similar direction, but nothing like this. Don't hate on me if it' has already been suggested though.)

So I just completed the DE easteregg/quest in solo for the first time. It's also the first quest I completed in BOIII (I really don't like SoE). I'm really happy, I go the trophy, got some additional XP, pretty cool. But I wish there was more...

See it's awesome to get little things for completing something and in a game that is filled with challenges and rewards it seems odd that all I'm getting in DE are all perks until I go down and 2500 XP for the "Frozen Freedom" challenge.

I wish Treyarch would invest a bit more work into adding new DLC related Calling Cards. Sure some could potentionally spoil certain things, especially those related to the main quest. But just like the trophy they could make the Calling Card rather cryptic or spoiler-free and maybe make them hidden challenges, like the Dark Ops challenges. I would have been REALLY happy if I got a Calling Card showing the DE loading screen for completing the quest. I would love to get a card themed around each bow for getting a certain amount of kills with it, or a card showing a Panzer for killing a certain amount of them, or a card for killing a Panzer with a Plunger (call it Mario 2.0 or whatever) or one for using the Wundersphere^it-should-be-Die-Wunderspähre-btw or one for killing zombies or saving teammates with the Ragnarok DG-4. Why not?

There are many more possibilites. I really hope that Treyarch will maybe patch them in someday and have them from the start for the next DLC. It really seems like a missed opportunity. People love that stuff, it motivates them, it gives them something to work towards and if it is linked to XP it will give people even more reason to try out every bow, to try out some new things on the map. And just because Activision can't make some extra money with it like with the stuff locked behind the Black Market doesn't make it any less interesting to us.

But I digress. If you have any cool ideas I'd love to hear them. It's really just something to make the DLC and Zombies a bit cooler. Personally I dislike the fact that many cool zombie Calling Cards are only available by playing MP; this would be something to keep zombie players motivated while playing zombies.

I agree 100% I was disappointed to find out there's no calling card. Just a trophy no one looks at:/

Weren't people pissed when they didn't get a trophy but got a calling card for soe?

I totally agree.

There is so many challenges on multiplayer that reward with calling cards - most involve using something out of the ordinary or take you out of your comfort zone - keeping things fresh all the time.

Zombies get stale at the best of times so calling cards for different challenges like you've explained would also keep things fresh. Even challenges like "Complete the Easter Egg quest flawless" or "Complete the Easter Egg quest 20 times" would keep seasoned and advanced players something to strive for. There's loads of calling card challenges they could have introduced - missed opportunity.

And whilst on this subject, I DETEST the fact that I cant complete 100% Zombie challenges due to the fact that I dont have the right gumballs - this really promotes pay-to-win (or pay-to-complete).

So there's no calling card after completing the EE? Yeah, that's a little messed up. You got one for Shadows.

I suppose that was to make up for there not being a Trophy for completing the Shadows EE.

After months of silence on this subject of more cosmetics for zombies, then seeing the PaP camo going to the black market - you should not get excited to see anything like this OP

People are literally praising treyarch for removing the sprint cancel from zombie hitting after the game has been out for 4 months, despite all the fucking up they've done with the game. Treyarch has absolutely no incentive to add anything to the zombies experience outside of the 3 maps we are expecting (but haven't actually been promised) from the 3 future map packs.

I feel like if they don't deliver more zombies maps the community backlash would be insane. Worse than the whole supply drop fiasco.

You'd be surprised. Bungie didn't launch a raid in their second dlc (part of a season pass) despite having listed each dlc coming with one

The community defended bungie on the point more than hating them for not delivering on their word

Treyarch could release the next three map packs with 2 mp maps and 3 free run maps and there would be enough fan boys to defend their name unfortunately. Activison knows they can get away with murder, and it is clear as of February treyarch has no back bone.

I played destiny. Didn't know I was supposed to have gotten a raid with dlc 2.

It's a shame. I wasn't on Reddit when it happened - maybe I should have been. There was a lot of drama on the site I was on at the time. But yea, they totally took your money and didn't give you what you paid for (granted they have you something else - prison of elders - but that wasn't their call to make)

Totally agree, make this happen.

Simple, make calling cards based off of each trophy.
