Heroes of the storm story mode

[Deleted]

I know heroes of the storm is going to be wows version of dota, but where does it say that blizzard wont add a story mode that could potentially replace warcraft 4.
i dont think blizzard are going to copy the same concept of a really successful game, im pretty sure they will add something new

[unholytestament]

replace warcraft 4

With a MOBA?!

God, I hope not!

Something about this makes me laugh...whatever could it be??

Somehow having Diablo and Sara Kerrigan in Warcraft 4 doesn't seem quite right....

MOBA/Dota-like, story... Does not compute

[Wrathonia]

MOBAs have enough story/lore to give reason for the characters to exist in the world and fight each other. That is it.

[unholytestament]

However, you are right when you mention that Blizzard hasn't specifically said it won't have a story mode. Just don't hold your breath on this one.

Well... Story mode doesn't mean it has to be canon...

/smirk. Just smile and nod. And to the OP, Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA. Those don't tend to have story modes.

Actually, isn't Dota2s tutorial somewhat a story?

[Rucati]

There won't be a story mode.

A: You can't have a story mode in a MOBA really, the style doesn't work.
B: They wouldn't have a story that consists of characters from all of their franchises, that wouldn't make any sense.

Yeah HotS is not going to be Warcraft 4. For two huge reasons....

What "if" said Story got it's own trademark.

Warworld of diablocast?

Warworld of diablocast?

He means Warlords of Draenor.

Because obviously Kerrigan was on Draenor....

[Kaleredar]

Warworld of diablocast?

Warstar of diablocraft: tides of the lord of the lich swarm.

[unholytestament]

Warstar of diablocraft: tides of the lord of the lich swarm.

& humans beyond the brood lord of dark reign of destruction chaos portal

Because it would be pretty hard to create a canon story for a world in which Thrall, Kerrigan and Diablo, etc. meet up. And most importantly, pretty damn stupid.

Well, if the name change trailer is to be believed, it doesn't seem like the game is going to take itself that seriously, so I could see them making up some kind of joke plot.

[Destinas]

It's not "WoW's version of DoTA", it's "Blizzard's version". Characters from the other Blizzard franchises are in the game, too.

eh, it wouldn't be the first one to do it...

isnt the story of heroes of the storm that a blue god and a red god took all these people from their universes and made them fight to see who was the coolest for their own amusement?

i could see a storymode for that, with little missions and levels.

it probably wont be a huge story that takes itself seriously or anything but there could definitely be a silly storyline to the game along with the multiplayer.

Two weeks ago, on the Co-Optional podcast, their guest, Boogie2988, had been speaking to a Blizzard dev about Heroes of the Storm, and the words of said dev were "it's going to be the Super Smash Bros of Blizzard, basically".

Guess what Super Smash Bros Brawl had? A contrived story mode that put EVERY SINGLE character into it, despite various differences in scope/powers/etc. I mean Fox McCloud of the Star Fox team saves Diddy Kong from a raging Rayquaza... Little unlikely?

A story mode would be possible, though I wouldn't rely on it happening. But if it is the "Super Smash Bros of Blizzard"... We got some OLD titles they can pull from too... Lost Vikings, Rock' n' Roll Racing, Blackthorne, and any other title made by Interplay during the NES/SNES/Genesis era. Bring on Olaf, Erik the Swift, and Baelog!
