MMORPG

Wow, if World of Starcraft was announced I would have crapped myself. That just wouldn't have been fair. Blizzard is much smarter than that.

As for a completely new franchise, i'm sure it will happen at some point. Prob. after they finished Diablo 3.

 

Its an interesting idea, but i probably wouldn't like it unless Blizzard dose it themself. Example A. See Starwars galaxies by SoE

 

well if it were done by someone else other than SOE than it would be good

 

yeah thatd be interesting

 

Hell let Bioware make an RPG out of it and I'd have no doubt it'd be incredible.

 

Lol how about a zerg larva that mutates into more powerful units as it gains level?

 

A starcraft MMORPG would be cool but i wouldent play it if you had to pay for it like WOW.

 

now that i think of it how would a MMORPG work for starcraft. What would be the plot, how do you get differnt items, What would be the diffrent classes you could choose from. if you lvl up what skills could the races choose from? thats all i can think of right now.

 

that sounds good if your a terren but if your zerg? can you imagin a zerg hitting puberty?

 

lol

only if blizzard makes it will it be good and even if it was i wouldent buy it.

charges every month who can deal with that?

 

Here's some skill suggestions:

Terran:
Stim Pack: use stim packs in battle to increase attack speed and movement speed. Does not stack.
Scoped Weapons: increases accuracy of all Rifle class weapons.
Vehicular Training: increases maneuverability, movement speed, and attacking rate of vehicles being piloted by player.
Personnel Cloaking: cloaks the player until uncloaked or psi energy runs out.

Protoss:
Way of the Khala: permanently increases damage and attack speed while using Psionic Blade class weapons
Wrath of Tassadar: the player can sacrifice him/herself to create an enormous explosion. Kills the caster, and only to be used in extreme situations.
Psionic Storm: harness to psionic energy in a certain area to rip apart enemies. Does not stack.
Cloaking Field: cloaks all allies in a certain area around caster. Active until deactivated or out of psi.

Zerg:
Berserk: temporarily and dramatically increase damage, attack speed, movement speed, and health while lowering armor.
Burrow: a Zerg player can burrow in the ground for a dramatically increased healing and psi recovery rate, but cannot move. Invisible to enemies that don't have a detector item/ally.
Evolve: unlike the Terran or Protoss, Zerg cannot wield weapons, and therefore have adapted a new way of matching their needs. A Zerg may evolve at anytime into other Zerg creatures whose DNA has been acquired by the player. Evolving takes a certain amount of minerals (money) and takes sometime, during which the player has enourmously increased armor but cannot fight back or move. Evolution can be cancelled at anytime during the transformation.

This is all I could think of. Also, there should be a wide range of vehicles, such as Dragoons (not technically a vehicle but still), siege tanks, vultures, scouts, carriers, arbiters, wraiths, and battlecruisers. Vehicles are race-specific so a Terran cannot ride a Protoss vehicle and vice versa. All vehicles must be bought and price increases with the strength of the vehicle, air vehicles costing more than ground vehicles usually. Zerg could just evolve into different creatures.

 

i was thinking that with the zerg it'd be like you have a spirit, and you can control diferent zerg creatures at a certain level

Ex. lvl-1 you start as a spirit, you can then fly around, if you find a drone, you take control of it and lvl up to 5, then at lvl 5, release your spirit and find a zergling, then get to 10, release your spirit, find a hydralisk and keep on going until you get you get to lvl max, then you can control any zerg you want.

just my idea :]

 

I'm sure there will be one in the (probably not near) future. Anyway here is my 2 cents.

Terran Civilian, Protoss Acolyte (or whatever), and Zergling.

You play to a certain level (say 10) to learn the ropes, then you get to choose a "class" ex. Marine(archer/mage) Firebat (warrior/berserker) and Ghost (thief/rogue)

New items/gear/weapons are given to the player for completing missions (quests) or bought with bounty money for killing enemies (x number of x mob).

Most vehicles and aircraft will be just for special attacks (think mercenaries) but small vehicles (ie stinger or vulture) could be used as a mount.

Class skills could be like firebat fire wall, ghost lockdown, marine frag grenade.

Skill upgrades could be unlocked upgrade slots (shock damage,armor piercing,extended clip) or maybe enhanced variations (ex firebat fire wall: damage units for as long as in area > keeps damaging units after)

---------------------------

Whew! Just some ideas and in case anyone at blizz is reading this; feel free to use them

 

i hate to compare starcraft to warcraft but im gonna

one of the biggest complaints about warcraft was that the races were too alike, they pseudo-fixed this in warcraft 3 but it was still the same thing, not enough differences between races/factions etc.

thus WoW came and wadda you know? both factions are still largely the same.

now lets go to starcraft, starcraft's races are vastly different, and thus if there were to be an MMO the factions would be vastly different

im def. thinking no classes but a big distinction of types of characters,

random build/class ideas:

terran-ghost build- closest thing to a spellcaster the terran get, long range support with lock down and a bunch of passive spells
firebat build-tank sorta thing with fire ability's, at first just close range flame bursts, but maybe some longer range stuff later

toss-zealot build- tank tank tank

templar- heavy duty spellcaster (duh)

DT-ima thinking DT's may get a decent amount of spells??

Zerg- just NPCs

these are some random ideas iv had, obviously there would be much much more to each race but thats the just of what im thinkin

 

I wouldnt be surprised it Starcraft:Ghost was cancelled so they could make a World of Starcraft...More money to earn if they make a WoS....but if ghost was availble I dont think anyone would play a WoS lol

 

Uh uh, not WoS, GoS. Galaxy of Starcraft. Anyhoo. I think that the races themselves would almost be their own classes, but you have a lot of freedom within.

 

woudnt it be SoS, Sector of Starcraft? because they really dont leave the koprulu sector... ever.
with the exception of the UED.

 

Ah! We'll save the other sectors for the expansion!

 

exactly! or even, new planets!
lol imagine going to char on your lonesome. haha that would be great. death is instant lol.

 

personally...i dont think its a good idea

there is only 3 races to choose from...

not a good idea

unless its something like maplestory...but...
