Project: Still Totally Not Worlds of Starcraft (3/19)

**Woody** · 03-19-2009

Here's strip two of Mitch's trifecta. I was going to wait until sometime next week. But hey, sometimes... you just gotta go with the guest strip flow. Like last time, here's what Mitch had to say about his submissions.

So I was reading through some literature on StarCraft II, and it got me thinking about the future of StarCraft. The question that has at some point popped into practically every gamer's mind is: "Is there going to be a World of StarCraft sometime in the future?"

So building on that idea, I imagined a conversation between a CEO and a "super secret project dev" at Blizzard. Their conversation would set the premise for several panes to follow, and end up back at their conversation.

-Mitch (AKA Mitcheypoo)

I'm not one for arena play. I'm just not that good at small-group, pvp combat. But the idea of calling down a nuke on the other guy has its appeal. I just wish I knew what "...OP" meant.

So there's only one more comic in Mitch's WoS saga. I have no idea when it'll be posted, but it's my favorite of the three. How's that for a teaser?

OP = Over Powered.

Yeah, just a tad OP. Like Death Knights and Ret Paladins. hehe

What's OP about a ton of HP and 4-5k dps?

**Woody** · 03-19-2009

Thanks! I'm a warrior so I would have never known that abbreviation otherwise.

I think some classes in WOW have the "Nuke" button already. A few classes have abilities that, when they crit, it is tough to live through. Mass PVP (WG) is fun but I visit the spirit healer regularly.

I must say, if a StarCraft MMO ever does come out. I hope I'm on the sending end of that Nuke.

Oh no....now I can picture every single Terran PvP'er being a Ghost and the PvP whining that would accompany it.

They'd probably nerf the nuke after a month, so i'll be like ... puff, some damage, moving on...

Or Druids, can't forget them... pick up a stick, beat just about anyone to death with it... slightly tough fight? Just switch to bear form... 40k hp.

I remember when everyone whined about warriors being OP. Nerfs every god damn patch. At least we more or less get left alone now.

Doesn't a ghost have to stay still for the nuke to hit the target? Move out of range, the ghost just lost half his PvP budget for the day. I don't imagine building a nuke would be cheap enough for an individual soldier to accomplish.
