This year’s edition was a fiasco, both for the players and the development team. For next year, I propose that the event be run in this way.
The same zombies and hero abilities as last year are being reused:
-
The medic heals faster and more effectively
-
The sapper builds fortifications
-
The Japanese regain their resilience
-The Soviets are more versatile
The start of the game would be identical to the 2025 event, retaining the soul system and the gates.
The only exception: the map selection needs to be revised, as it offers very little gameplay variety. For example, the team cannot simply run around in circles or make figure eights, and with armed zombies, this technique becomes impossible.
There is only one truly enclosed area that guarantees players won’t be attacked from behind: the staircase located after opening the first gate, the one leading to the upper floor.
Adding a boss in wave 30, once defeated, forces players to leave the area and get back in the vehicle to complete the mission.
The idea of a silver chest isn’t bad in itself, but its execution leaves something to be desired; a gold chest would be preferable.
(I’ll discuss this in another article.)
