🔹 Hearthstone just had a StarCraft mini-expansion

Which is something I’ve asked for years in World of Warcraft.
Whilst we obviously can’t have a whole StarCraft II expansion for obvious lore reasons, there is a way for us to enjoy a crossover event without harming the lore:

The Caverns of Time: Blizzard’s most underutilized tool.

New raid: “The Fall of Aiur”
:small_blue_diamond: The Caverns send you in an unknown time and place. For this special raid, all player characters are transformed into Draenei.
:small_blue_diamond: As you exist the portal, you arrive on Aiur, where the Protoss think of you as some long forgotten common ancestor of their species. Their curiosity for your kind is short lived however, as the Zerg’s assault on Aiur begins.
:small_blue_diamond: Several locations are under attack: you use Dragonriding to access them all, allowing you to fly across a breathtaking, futuristic Protoss city, to aid in its defense.
:small_blue_diamond: Eventually, you venture deeper into Zerg territory, storming a nearby hatchery and defeating its queen, before joining Tassadar and witnessing its final confrontation with the Overmind.
:small_blue_diamond: Despite this blow dealt to the Zerg, the Protoss are forced to abandon Aiur. You’re teleported on their ship, where your final spoils await, and you can finally exit the raid.

The potential is huge.

:purple_circle: Exploring the StarCraft universe from a third character point of view, with World of Warcraft’s graphics
:purple_circle: Raid mechanics inspired by StarCraft mechanics and each race’s unique identity
:purple_circle: Creating the most epic raiding experience ever seen in the MMORPG genre
:purple_circle: Being rewarded with a baneling mount, rolling around with your character swimming inside it, and a unique explosion animation when you dismount

This must happen. There is no other way.

If you want StarCraft so badly, go play StarCraft, I certainly don’t need another franchise in my WoW. Hearthstone is more like HotS, which allows for such cross-franchise nonsense, but don’t start muddling the main games; bad enough we get mounts/skins cross franchise ruining immersion.

It just means blizzard is cooking something for StarCraft for mobile .having a StarCraft themed event in world of Warcraft won’t make sense anyway .

That crossover In hearthstone happened because the expansion is about Draenei and their journey in space. The closest wow got to that point was in Legion, Argus and that was years ago. Knowing the next two expansions is not about outer planets, I don’t see a crossover will be a thing.

I think it makes just as much sense as the diablo crossover we had.

We’ve already had a StarCraft expansion where the powerful independent evil leader Kerrigan/Sylvanas is fueled by revenge and threatens the living.
But as it turns out we cannot kill her because she’s the key of an ancient prophecy and the only one who can deliver the universe from the almighty god Amon/The Jailer.
Artanis/Anduin gets mind controlled, fortunately Zeratul/Thrall and Talis/Jaina manage to rescue him.

The loop is looped

I never played sc, but I don’t hate this idea. CoT is underutilised so it might be interesting to explore alternate timelines and universes there.
