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.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.

    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
