MMORPG

It'd be great if Blizzard did it... also hopefully the time is set BEFORE the events of Starcraft so for Protoss you can walk or hover for Templars, in the streets of Aiur and stuff... I'd definately pay $15 for that.

It'd have to have space combat though, with Carriers and Battle Cruisers... And some sort of loophole for protoss and how they can get into Dragoon, otherwise people will die on purpose to be one. Im guessing just make it a vehicle.

And the Zerg would also have a lot of work.... the races are very diversed its not like you can just give them unique look, skills and ur done.

Also the fact that there'd have to be like 20 planets...

 

Ghost!!! Hopefully they're done right, not like Jedi in SWG... more like Jedi in SWG precu. That was much more decent.

Hopefully if they make one it will be more MMOFPS-ish for the Marines because they get huge machine guns and stuff.

 

I thought it was really good. And I think Galaxy of Starcraft is better, especcialy since the abbriviation for the other idea is SoS (save our ship for those who don't know) ^_^

 

If any of you guys are interested I'm currently typing up a (so far, gonna be pretty big) large concept of what a Starcraft game would be like if it played like PlanetSide, a MMOFPS.

I wouldn't like an RPG Starcraft, it'd lose the flavour of the past paced game we all know and love.

 

Sorry for the reference but....

Char = Outland!!

 

pretty much, but with a sh*t load of zerg rather than a sh*t load of demons lol

 

Would rather have Diablo III made first.

 

I really think starcraft would have to be a MMOFPS to really catch the feel. Though I'm sure others have their own views. My only idea is If you picked a Zergling, I think you should get 3-5 AI zerglings to travel with you, to catch the feel of a pack.
If you die, you just take control of one of the others.

Just a thought.

 

you mean like in Rainbow Six?

 

how about a MMOFPS w/ RPG elements?

like theres still leveling up and such but most everything relies on FPS type skills

 

If it relied on FPS, what would happen to the poor little lings/ultras?

 

If Blizzard will ever make an MMO in the Starcraft world I hope it will be an MMORTS.

Imagine, all players in 1 world, epic mayhem.

It's tough to make such a game, I didn't see any decent one yet besides browser based strategy games. One of the biggest problems is what do you do with peoples bases when they are not online, can they be attacked? And if not isn't that asking for exploits? People quickly logging out when they expect an attack...

But if one game developer could find solutions for problems like that and make such a game it would be blizzard, with their knowledge of wow, diablo and ofcourse starcraft

Wlck742 , I never played Rainbow six, so I'm not sure, but most likely what you think.

As for FPS with RPG elements, for Zerg you start out with a certain about of XP( name it what you wish) and you can 'purchase' DNA strands so you pick what you can start out with at first ( You can pick more little things, or one or two bigger creatures, but always has the zerglings) More you kill and maim, the more XP you get.

Kinda like how Planetside did it I guess. Just how I'd like to see it if they decided to make a MMO.

 

I would like to see Major Willy's thing for the MMO. But for the moment, I have no idea about the protoss.

 

Oh right. Maybe I should open up that Microsoft Word file and finish it.

I still don't think Starcraft story and characters were meant for the slower paced RPG style.
Again, this concept would play better on a PlanetSide-like system.

 

It seems that World of Warcraft has a weak story; because it's an MMORPG. All you can do really is cuss at your fellow members, or kill a noob that agrees to fight you for "experience". StarCraft is good for a single-player high quality storyline, without having to be online and taking up bandwidth, and if you have an urge to go online an challenge someone in StarCraft, you can, for free. World of Warcraft is very addictive, and time consuming; I almost wish that World of Warcraft had never come out; because then they could have focused on making StarCraft 2 earlier. MMORPG's are better for games not made by Blizzard; I think they should focus more on RTS's and good ole' fashion style RPG's.
