Is it true that the sparkle pony in World of Warcraft made more money than all of StarCraft 2?
i sold food stamps for mine
>>737982628Pony?
>>737982628a common misconceptionthe sparkle pony made more money than one blizzard employee was paid in the two years that he worked on starcraft 2
Who cares. Blizzard hasn't made a good game in over 20 years
>>737982628That "fact" came from Piratesoftware so I wouldn't trust it.
>>737983136i've only played a small amount of vanilla wow but I would have done the same thing instead of getting hit from 5 feet away then slowed to a crawl and dying
>>737983380This. Fuck 'em. The only reason why people shit on Thor for this is because certain people (including me) got tired of seeing his stupid smug face everywhere. But he did why 90% of other players would have done.

>>737983380>>737983883He was spending his entire hardcore wow career bragging about how he is living for this moment, how he is expecting it to happen, how prepared he always is and kept talking up everyone he talked with to fully commit into losing fights as he can turn them around. Only to immediately roach without warning while STILL encouraging others to fight. Absolutely sociopathic, jewish behavior. No one would have given a shit if some random just loses his nerve and runs out from a wipe, he had this history of bragging damning him. And of course, the endless fucking "NOT MY FAULT" excuses after it. No one would have given a shit a week later if he just admitted that he roached and apologized, instead of the constant barrage of new excuses every single time coming up for months.
>>737983883In a random dungeon with random teammates being a roach would have been sleazy but somewhat understandable.But Pirate was in a full guild group with people he is expected to play with all the time. Even if all 5 members made it out alive nobody in the guild ever would have wanted to play with him again.
>>737983380>>737983136the reason the melee died is because mage popped frost novaas a mage, you never pop frost nova, it melts your melee slow with rank 1 blizzard, obviously
>tfw gave a loan out to my friend for his starter mount>tfw he totally scammed me>mfw he comes out of fucking nowhere to flex this stupid fucking mount on me
>>737982628Thats a big pony
>>737985036uuuu
>>737982628i don't know but dalaran was filled with it on my server the day it was released. they must have realized it because they all returned to their regular mount a day after.
>>737987857>they must have realized they looked like niggercattle
>>737983883Did you not watch the video. He runs away pissing his pants after talking a big game about being the best mage.
I spend $2000 a month on asian prostitutes.
>>737984323That makes 0 sense.
>>737983883>Thor
>>737984323frost nova kills when people aren't expecting the enemies to suddenly be unable to follow them and thus turning around to smack the only one next to them (the mdps) when the tank moves slightly out of rangeif you're in voice comms and everyone is trying to gtfo then just saying "i'll nova" while everyone's already running is enough to prevent accidental deaths that way because everyone knows what's happening and knows to strafe away.
>>737982628I think it made more if you add the development and maintenance costThe horse probably costed nothing and sc2 was developed for (?) years
>>737983883the problem is he was playing in a guild of streamers who all made a living from the content WoW classic provided, himself included. being a nuisance and creating drama while refusing to acknowledge one's failure is obviously not constructive to that kind of environment. if this was a random group then sure it would make sense, but the guy was in a voice chat with 4 other streamers trying to make content and he basically chose to make his content "this other people are fucking stupid, i'm right"
>>737983136oh, it didn't happen then
>>737983380That's because you're a shitter. The good thing is you're a shitter who admits she's a shitter instead of attempting to claim you're a god who knows how to play Mage at a high level.
>>737982628No, they just did some dumb magic math where for every dollar spent to make it the sparkly pony made more dollars back, and because it costs them like three hours to make something like a mount skin vs the literal decade it cost them to make SC2 they make it out to be that making mount skins are more profitable despite the fact that economics doesn't work like that even remotely.
>>737983883Nah, the reason people shit on the clown is that even the shittiest mage knows that he could have easily saved everyone and he either panicked like a retard or intentionally griefed his team. He literally spent the preceding weeks clowning on others for doing exactly what he ended up doing so no shit people give him the very attitude he'd been giving others.
>>737983883>he did why 90% of other players would have done.Immediately disproved by the fact that 80% of the party attempted a controlled retreat instead of immediately making a break for the exit.
>>737982628no
>>737983883Roaching wasnt the problem. His behaviour after roaching was what made people fuck him off. He also has a tendency to flame everyone for the smallest mistakes, meanwhile he didnt even use a mana gem in that fight - while using low mana as one of his excuses to roach
>>737983136it's funny that his "fame" came from endlessly repeating this story, and now nobody believes it because they became aware of what a habitual liar and contemptible sneak he is
>>737988638>this doesnt make senseBecause you dont understand the game. >mobs running after tank>frost nova>now they cant run after the tank>drop aggro and hit the nearest target
>>737993789Blizzard slows more than enough to give everyone ample time to create distance. Follow that up with a jumpcast Frost Nova and you just single-handedly saved the entire group.
