Speculation: World of Starcraft?

This would be similar to WoW, a.k.a WoW goes purple/in space. My speculation is that a player would walk around like in WoW, it'd be the same price as WoW/possibly cheaper/more expensive, but there would be whole planets to explore, ferries that would warp between them, multiple classes of terrans, protoss, and zerg, etc.

RACE ONE: Terrans
Class 1: Marine (class points go to using a big gun and a big suit)
Class 2: Medic (team healing, debilitating attacks on enemies, weak regular attacks)
Class 3: Reaper (double Marine's attack speed, but less than half in attack. Jumps higher, and class points go to move speed, attack speed, and jump height)
Class 4: Ghost (double attack power of the ghost, slower speed, debilitating attacks, and possibly even cloaking, but the ghost is weaker, health-wise)


RACE TWO: Protoss
Class 1: Warrior. (Two of their blades, fast attack, move speed, and attack speed, but weak health-wise)
Class 2: Dragoon/Stalker/Immortal (Obviously ranged, good attack range and power, but lower move speed and attack speed)
Class 3: High Templar (Weak base attack, but good skills and attack range. Bad move speed and attack speed, though)
Class 4: Dark Templar (VERY strong attack, bad attack speed, mediocre health, but a good move speed and energy-draining cloaking)


RACE THREE: Zerg

Class 1: Warrior (Great attack speed and move speed, semi-bad attack, and mediocre health)
Class 2: Impaler (Acts like a hydralisk. Has a great maximum range, but a bad minimal range, bad melee attack and move speed, but has some good attack speed)
Class 3: Corruptor (Attacks like a lurker. Slow attack speed, slow move speed, good attack range, bad health, and a powerful attack)
Class 4: Poisoner (Uses debilitating attacks that hit the enemy over time, like poison or a disease. Good move speed, bad base attack power and attack speed, mediocre range, and good health)

There would be places like the Hyperion, Bucephalus, Mar Sara, Chau Sara, Infested Aiur, Char, Shakuras, Tarsonis, Korhal, New Folsom, Umoja, Kel-Moria, Ulaan, Zhakus, and a few new planets that will come from HotS or LotV.

IMO it would be way more complicated than that, but yeah, World of Starcraft is a possibility.

Problem is, World of Warcraft utterly destroyed Warcraft lore. My bet is that World of Starcraft would utterly destroy Starcraft lore.

Really, it should be called Galaxy of Starcraft.
Starcraft isnt based on one planet :D

It won't happen. Why should Blizzard make another MMO, when they current own the biggest, thats just going to take players away from the current popular one and put them on another? They already have the players, so making a new MMO to attract the players they already have would be a waste of time and money on their part.

If WoW was dying, maybe. But it's still way too popular for them to do something like that.

Maybe they'll mash Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft together to create a futuristic fantasy 2 alliegence clicker game!

They're not rumors, Blizzard is working on a new MMO.

I personally think it will be an MMO version of Starcraft Ghost.

Uhh yeah there are working on TWO MMO's, one is a completely new universe and one is based on an existing one.

Also, they stated that WoW will become free once their MMO's come out (so it won't be monthly charge, but there will still be optional payments for pets and other services).

>"Also, they stated that WoW will become free once their MMO's come out"

Eh, not exactly. The words were more along the way of "maybe if we don't have enough players anymore (and another payment model would be more lucrative)"


>"and one is based on an existing one."

Really? Never heard of that second MMO.

Woohaa.. this what you saying sounds great. *.*

You have some site where is some more info or? There is lack of official info about this?

EDIT: Why would I ever ask such a question when there is our friend Google...

So I found some info, looks like no World of Starcraft nor Galaxy of Starcraft is it, it's something totally new.

Well yeah, there is something entirely new, but they said they are also working on another game which has a heavy online influence related to one of the existing universes (so my guess is MMO, unless it's some sort RPG like Diablo but online all the time? I don't know).

It's entirely possible that they are reviving Starcraft: Ghost as an MMO.

Ive heard about this, just one slight problem.

Activision.

Activision does not have a major influence on Blizzard. They are partners in business, sure, but they still make their own decisions. Activision could suggest or propose a certain move to Blizzard, but they still have the right to say no and do what THEY want.

The fact of the matter is that WoW is getting old, and it's becoming outdated. Once they release better MMO's of their own, WoW will die IF it still had the monthly fee. If anything, they would LOSE money if they kept the monthly fee, because people wouldn't stay and use their payed-services (like server switching, gender changing, pets, companions, etc). Making it free with payed-services keeps the game in business and allows them to get some money from it.

At the moment, inside-sources have stated that there's only going to be two more expansions after Cataclysm. First one will be Emerald Dream, however, no one knows the second and (potentially) last one. I know they aren't lying because they predicted that Cataclysm would be the next expansion (and included details about the game as well), months before it was even announced. These guys aren't lying.

Indeed, ive seen this. The next is the Emerald Dream, whilst the last is to do with the Burning Legion, most likely Sargeras.

If I know Blizzard then this kind of game revolving around Starcraft is a very likely possibility. They will find any way they can to milk the franchise for as much cash as they possibly can; they already split one game into three by separating the three race's campaigns, which is far out from any of their other games.

Besides, starcraft is one of a far more mature universe, and a game like that for such a universe seems a bit silly.

Not exactly, if they can do the whole MMO thing right with Starcraft, it could actually really improve and expand the lore. But yeah, that's if they do it right. They killed Illidan in WoW.

I don't know I think it's possible. But you need to think at a much grander scale than the current Koprulu sector. Think Several entire Quadrants worth of Terran,Protoss and Zerg forces duking it out ;)

I just think seeing massive Ultralisks slicing marines into bits and Vikings transforming in mid-battle, all from a marines perspective, would be AWESOME. That's why I want it.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
