Who Will Be Next Commander?

Overmind, Karass or Selendis. Please kindly.

Honestly? I kinda want some UED representation. either some random dude, or I dunno, Dugalle? Not like the devs are trying ot pass it off as canon, we have Tychus for crying out loud…

But the development needed to make it work well is too much for what most likely only has maybe two people who just are only working on SC2 for balancing and bug fixes if that. I’d specifically want UED to have maybe some form of Terran if the tech level was improved even more since I don’t doubt the UED would be working on some bonkers weapon and defensive systems after they saw their fleets just get annihilated, after all, they literally knew about the Overmind before getting there, so it’s safe to assume they saw the Swarm neg their expedition fleet. Could maybe combine a bit of protoss tech with Terran minus warping stuff with maybe some big stationary superguns, super powerful warships, and I have this idea that the UED could employ a really crappy but still powerful warpgate that could basically hoover SUPER experimental units from Earth, that could be really fun honestly with a ton of idea potential, but… that requires people who are still doing stuff with the game to have happen, and we all know that isn’t what we have anymore.

Selendis would be cool though, if a Zerg I want Niadra. Overmind would be cool, he’d pretty much have no Hatchery, Lair, or Hive, the Overmind would just BE the hq building, could be cool.

Although, what about some Kel-morian representation? Maybe Tosh? Defenders of Man?
Honestly? Maybe it would be too tough to find ideas for, but Valerian would be a good add for Terran commanders.

Part of me though would love something like Stettman that’s basically just the 3 races mashed together, or something along those lines.
Or maybe one final commander is basically one you can unlock normally by getting all commanders to level 15 where you can literally just take parts from other commanders and take any 15 upgrades to make the build you want, with maybe a point system to make it so you can’t just pick every unit in a given race. That could be cool, unsure who would be the fact of it though… Maybe Tassadar since he’s literally a void whale apparently now?

Tassadar is dead, that “void whale” was impersonating him to try and guide the Protoss to fight Amon.

That aside I am sad we will never get Ji’nara as a commander, her sass made me laugh during the Nova campaign and it would have been interesting to see what the Taldarim carrier would be like. Would of been nice if Taldarim Dark Templar were in co op too.

Huge bummer that the SC2 co-op team is gone. Would have liked to see more commanders and more maps.

Commander only? I want more maps. I want longer games. If I can get through a game with only tier 2 researched, that is just sad.

If I had to choose a commander, it would be
Protoss: Seledis or Ji’nara.
Zerg: Niadra or Izsha
Terran: Tosh
Hybrid: Amon or Narude.

That is funny. You think you are still going to be there in 2042. I know I will not be there.

Besides the sarcasm in that post, you really should check the dates of the posts you’re replying to, chances are they already aren’t here :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh come on now, you know we’ll all be here for “StarCraft 3, the Search for More Money.”

“We brake for nobody”

And you were wrong about that.

To be fair; they hadn’t gave any hints that development would be stopping. All we could assume is that since there were no announcements of ending Starcraft 2; there would be more Commanders on their way.

They made too many commanders out of left field, and not enough maps. It all happened after MOBA MONK was put in charge. Co op died then.

This is just getting repetitive lol.

Maybe with a kickstarter, we could be adding 3 commanders, one by one, one for each race.

Ariel Hanson - Terran - Leader of Haven: muster a colonial force that specializes in assisting their ally. Example units: Colonial Worker, Marine, Medivac, Predator, APC

Kagg - Zerg - Xel’Naga Lorekeeper: command an army of Brood War era zerg augmented by Xel’Naga energies and power. Example units: Progenitor Drone, Xel’Naga Overlord Phantasmal Zergling, Xel’Naga Defiler

Selendis - Protoss - Executor of Aiur: lead a versatile Protoss army with support calldowns Example units: Probe, Zealot, Stalker, Sentry, Avenger, Arbiter, Gantrithor IV (Selendis Flagship calldown)

I REALLY don’t think Activision/Blizzard needs a Kickstarter. Heck, hiring just 1 programmer for a year would cost about 80k, more if you include benefits. All this for commanders that sell for 5 bucks a piece. Even if they sold 1000 CO’s… That ain’t enough to cover any meaningful amount of development. The game is getting old, not everything can receive 100% support forever.

Wrong…Unless they are fixing bugs, they told us that nothing new would be added for Coop.

Easily could have done a good mission with the maps in her set too. Which were all good and fun to play.

The sentence you quote is in past tense. It was about the situation before the announcement.

Sigh, I guess Amon was right. By the look of this tread the only constant IS suffering.

Acute doomerism aside…

For Protoss, Selendis could be a skytoss focused commander. She would be on the field on a mothership with some powerful abilities and call-downs.

For Zerg, I like the idea of Zurvan with primal stuff, but we already have our big boi Dehaka for that. Overmind though…going back to units back from SC1, approaching a more siege-like warfare. I find unlikely to have Izsha as a commander, however if it was for her to be a CO, prolly would be more of a support one. She’d have units with auras (healing over time, faster energy regen, move speed, attack speed, and so on) for military units and call-downs to buff her (and allies’) structures (faster construction time, faster research speed, healing over time, faster unit/charges respawn, etc). However…if I’m to pick one to be the most likely, it would be Niadra with psychic Zerg units. They would have the biological version of abilities like Feedback and PsyStorm, maybe units like:

  • Broodlords with flying spawns that can attack air and ground (yes, a Zerg carrier. Zerrier if you will)
  • Bile Archons: An Archon’s golden armor put together with zerg biomass, empowered by harnessing the lingering energy that still remains on it after death. Shoots acidic bile, splashes around main target for reduced AoE dmg.
  • Dissolver: Immortal’s carcass reutilized and adapted. Sprays acid on ground units on a short range for low damage (like a weak shotgun), has an ability to shoot a ball of acidic bile on a single flying target for high burst damage, and another one to increase basic attack damage and attack speed for some time.

As for Terrans, I’d say Valerian or Tosh, but I don’t know what they could bring to the table that Raynor, Tych, Swann, Nova, Han/Horner and Mengsk already don’t D:

Haha haha classic.

Uther is that you?

If so I just wanted to say I enjoy watching you rip on Monk as well as oppressive terran twitch streamers.
