![]() Furthermore they would have to set it so far in the future or past to avoid angering fans of the mmo that 'important' plot developments are taking place outside their game that it may as well be a new IP anyway. WarCraft IV might be interesting, but not with who they currently have. I pretty much called what was going to happen in diablo 3 every step of the way as I was playing it, and even beyond predictable it was incredibly boring and uninspired. I loved the story of diablo 2 and starcraft, but both diablo 3 and starcraft 2 have been very disappointing. I agree with several others here, blizzard simply isn't what it used to be, especially in the storytelling department. I knew the guy that made DoTA way back when and he seemed like a good dude, but in reality he was the antichrist. That said I've started to get over it just enough to play some MOBAs recently, I know I'm a scumbag traitor but hey Dynasty Warriors a New Age v5 was really fun, as was AoTR, and Aeon of Strife. Warcraft 3 probably didn't have the time to develop the same way as Brood War just due to the nature of DoTA, but I'm sure with time we would have had our Napoleon's Ambitions, our well balanced Risk maps, our high level LoTR play, Starship Troopers SE by Panzer-Kavalier (which is Helldivers essentially), our WW2 Death In Europes, Campaign Virginia, Hearts of Iron, and so on to reside in the hall of legends. Hell people actually talked in chat, we had long ridiculously elaborate discussions over strategy it wasn't just copy pasta of whatever random strategy guide on website X, people actually figured out that shit on the fly. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't think it's nostalgia, the nostalgia is what fuels the hate for modern MOBAs or *cough* DoTA clones *cough* but the maps themselves, especially in Brood War were top notch basically you had 5000 games in one and almost all of them were excellent multiplayer experiences (also you didn't have to listen to people's shitty microphones constantly, just saying). Chris Metzen would be the lead writer, so that means any story it had would be complete trash, and I can guarantee it'll be "everyone teams up to fight big bad", because that's the ONLY story he's capable of Thank you sir. More Warcraft RTS games would be rad too I guess. Yeah, I probably have nostalgia goggles on and it probably wasn't that amazing, but I still love it anyway. wasn't the greatest in WC3, but it was great to log in and just join a random chat channel and talk to people and then go play Pyramid Escape or Prison Break or Real Life or one of the other awesome games they had available. I'd also put some of the blame on Blizzard however - their user interface for 2.0 was horrible on release, and it took them nearly a YEAR to make clan support and chat channels, which by then it was too late. I used to stay up all night long playing Kodo Tag and Dark Deeds, and it sucked to see games like those drowned out by the constant DOTA ALLSTARS spam. Back when Warcraft 3 first came out, there were so many different maps to choose from, but then once dota became huge, it was 90% dota, 10% other games. There are a lot of times when I disagree with your opinions, but this is one of those times when you hit the nail on the god damn head. Assist to Indie Games putting the nail in the coffin. I like Warcraft 3 but I hate that it spawned DoTA which killed the best community of mapmakers in history from Starcraft: Brood War and I'm basically guaranteed to never have a comparable multiplayer experience perpetually (I guess the closest is Helldivers, which is only one map ultimately).
