  • RIFT OWNS THIS DUMB CRAP GRAPHIC MMO :)

  • @Zodiaaaac I'm so pro that i don't use all-caps rage and play games where i don't care about the graphics like WoW and Minecraft. Please go back and play Rift, i have nothing against you other than the fact that you are obviously a troll and are posting useless comments unrelated to the video and are insulting your own community's(Rift fan-base)intelligence. If you love the game's(Rift)graphics that much then just play it and don't watch the WoW videos.

  • @Zodiaaaac nobody cares people play the games they feel like their worth playing and im pretty sure the graphics of a game dont matter- the gameplay does...

  • Go Bashiok!

  • I like how TB says he´s disappointet with the forum ppl. On the EU forums he TROLLED a whole thread x)

  • @Cpt1992carrot I don't see why he did. I don't hear any bad language, etc.

  • ff11 has a level match system that works well

  • Heirloom solution: why not just let you get a full (or 50? 75%? ) refund for your item at the vendor?

    In the fear of "transfering points between characters" - well, just make a requirement of that you can only sell it back from the toon you bought it in the first place.

    (if that sounds stupid or flawed, well sorry than :-P its 3:30 AM)

  • Bashiok FTW!!!!

    

  • U lot are so queer

  • @SilverXGames Trust me they are, I played Burning Crusade and when I came back to play Cataclysm I had no riding skills and had to buy them again.

  • I puged once where the tank was a Druid who refused to transform and just casted spells.

  • @Berryboard 1 of each type of shoulder one of each type of chest, 2 1h swords and the 2h staff, i forgot about trinkets and bow. i had some badges from other days ofc, and got a pvp one from wingergrasp marks to, but i did buy them in one day and at most it was a few days farming to get them. plus, wrath farming was easy, instances only took 15 mins max, and tank = insta queue

  • Comment removed

  • Tanking specs are fast questing too. Pull like 10 mobs in and aoe them down no worries.

  • TB you need to hire a decent cameraman for the UC shots ^^

  • there is plans for a level rollback.system according to a tom chilton interview last year

  • Tanks, Especially correctly specced and heirloomed tanks, will do the most damage in dungeons up until about level 65. Hands down. I've leveled 2 warriors and a paladin tank recently and not once was i out dpsed.

    They can also do insane AoE pulls if done correctly to get through quests, people who roll fury then try to tank on the excuse it does more damage are quite frankly idiots.

  • @TheEclipsed1234 no I mean overall I just checked the views on all the other videos!

  • lol molton core 2? that raid looks nothing like molton core,

  • Leveling as Prot but with dps gear actually isn't bad, some people are stuck in BC where tank specs were very myopic.

  • Okay a quick comment to make I'm the guy that sent in the first e-mail for this episodes "The Mailbox" and I am a proud man to see so many people made great ideas on what Blizzard should do with the heirloom items and if I'm totally honest go post some of that on the forums over on World of Warcrafts' site maybe someones lucky idea could be choosen considering 4.2 is supposed to be right around the corner and I'd love to see something new with heirlooms to make my alt leveling funner.

    Baill

  • Note that the people raiding are Horde and most likely Blizzard. Thumbs up if you have figured it out.

  • Note that the people raiding are Horde and most likely Blizzard.

  • They should show The Court Of Lore in schools

  • Dear GOD why are people on forums so ridiculously dumb?

  • Hey TB, i don't know if you're going to see this, but are you going to cover Gnomeregan, the Echo Isles, Kezan, and Gilneas?

  • I've been away from WoW for far too long, I'm coming for you all.

  • hey TB

    what do you think about doing some Guild Wars 2 Beta Stuff (if there will be one? :D)

    Greetings from Germany :)

  • we should buy a GPS for WOW

  • nice

  • Children's Week starts in a few days. The timing for a reopened portal back from Shattrath and Dalaran is rather convenient! I don't mind the portals being closed but this is useful.

  • Amen for Bashiok! Trolls will be trolls and i'm sure he knows this more then most

  • such long comments...

  • Well, I still like the fact that they implemented the portals again. It cuts down on travel time by quite a bit. Of course, the reason Bashiok gave seems kinda dodgy. Surely they did this for convenience/cutting down on travel time?

    Regardless, I do hope they keep it in this time.

  • 18:00

    Intresting note: Prot spec makes alot more damage than fury or arms while leveling.

  • when I leveled my paladin up till 40 level best tanking spec was the retribution- cos this was the only one with heavy aoe with prot spec in thous days it was especialy hard to hold agro

    when leveling with warrior i did tank with arms up till 40 cos still it was much better than protection- i was doing insane DPS(no way of losing agro) also I could heal myself with wictory rush almoust nonstop while clearing trash

    So why should someone use tanking spec when it sucks at tanking

  • Before level 30 (that's when u get dual spec right?) they should only let you queue for what your spec is.

  • Really, who would actually buy more then 1 pair of Shoulder and 1 pair of Chest. The ONLY reason people buy Heirlooms is because of the Exp boost, not for the stats. And really, I played my Holy Pala, and I heal instances fine with only Holy Shock and Word of Glory. Instances pre-cata are crazy easy, no need to match gear.

  • The heriloom item idea is great but is flawed by the differing stats stacked by different classes. Especially with the new heirloom tank items. It seems that Blizz is approaching the idea from the standpoint of forcing you to earn points to earn leveling gear appropriate to not only your class but also your role. An exchange vendor should be implemented, but whether it costs gold or points is up for debate. I think all heirloom slot specific items should be exchangeable.

  • @pjconnor74 I like your idea of a heirloom gear 'garage sale' but then you will have the problem with the game mechanics in that heirloom gear is BoA. They should belong to another class of items where you can only trade or sell them in heirloom-specific auctioneers and players can choose whether they want gold or points, but they WILL NOT be able to change the price because then they might as well just make all heirloom gear have no bounds at all so prople can throw them on the auction house.

  • God I hate commercials on youtube.

  • About that Heirloom thing - I can agree that no tanks should wear cloth/leather heirlooms as that is just ridiculous, however, why would you not like the fury/retri-tanking up until around lvl40 dungeons? They still take around the same damage as respective tanking specs, however, they are helping the group with additional dps! I mean, come on, some time ago I was tanking lvl35 dungeons with my enha shammy and it was just as "hard" or "easy" as with normal group.

    QQ less people!

  • Blizz actually taled about implementing a sidekick system. I seem to remember they said it was tough to do but they might at some point.

  • PLEASE FIX THIS

  • Read Arthas by Christie Golden if you want the whole story of the forsaken and whatnot. It's actually very good

  • I hate this bullshit people always love doing, making up this conspiracy theories stupidness.

  • Heirloom Idea - You buy some sort of item which has a right click option, which then turns it into the item needed. it can then be turned back into a different item with a right click again, similar to the weapon in molten core which has two forms but for heirlooms :)

  • @chapmanoo maybe have it a maximum justice point price, and buy 2 parts to make a piece, totalling 8000 points. For the switching mechanism of course :D. We don't want people getting crap too easy..

  • @chapmanoo Yaay.. lets make the game even easier..

  • @Berryboard Are you being serious? i got enough badges "back in the day" for all of the heirloom pieces in one day! Wrath was just a mistake in general apart from the questing, everything was easy, including badge farming for heirlooms, Justice point's take significantly longer to get,

  • keep pressing 2:10 Charlie Sheen any one?

  • Comment removed

  • thumbs up if u hate commercials

  • When TB was reading the lore, did anyone else think that he would stop and say something like "alright, this is bloody rubbish. I think..."

  • do u have a facebook? if u dont u shood get one cuz i think it would please alot of ur fans(including me)

  • Great job as always, TB!

    Also, what's TB's email? I want to mail him a question.

  • I am a new subscriber so i dont know if u have shared this on the show aready but i c that u show interesting quest lines. There is one in ungoro crater given to u by an alli, he is a delutional knight that makes u help him kill "draggons" which r actualy dinos and "save" helpless damsels in distress but just goes around killiing there pets, and telling them that they r safe while they cry over there murdered bird. it is good for a laugh.

  • @bagensiss i think he did it before, look over all his old stuff, its good. :) informative and entertaining. and something to listen to :P

  • There is actually a glitch I have found with the dungeon finder that others might want to explore even TB. If a friend/guildie queues for a random and the usual thing happens where someone leaves the group cause they have done it many times before, you can get lead of the group and invite someone much higher level to the random group then using the dungeon finder icon on the minimap, they can then teleport to the same dungeon to help out and the group will still get thier satchel from the queue.

  • "I love you" -Patrick star

  • Oh, and Pally and Warrior were leveled in TBC :P

  • Tank leveling is the best way to level! I leveled my Pally, DK and Warrior all as Tanks!

  • i appriciate youve probably been asked this many times, but are you using a custom ui and what is it? :)

  • Dual spec is now avalible at level 30 and for 10 gold.

  • @IncKiao i think he know's but he's saying it would be better to have it as soon as the DF is available to stop people 'tanking' as dps.

  • love long dailies, keep that golden voice casting stuff out TB

  • Ow man all 250 active braincells I had after playing some portal 2 have just died after the daily blues

  • Oh jeez. Poor Bashiok. I think he needs a hug.

  • why is the aze daily for the day befrore X rated

  • the crusader quartermaster in icecrown sells those same heirlooms for quite cheap. doing dailies alone you can get around 20 marks a day. the only real drawback is you need exalted trial of the champion achievement to buy them. but if you played through wotlk you should have unlocked at least part of that achievement.

  • After watching Simon's 4.1 trailer, every noun any youtube video says I expect to be 'trolls' for some reason...

  • i think the sidekick thing would be rlly cool cause champions online uses it and it works for going up in levels in order to play ur friend and going down but the problem in WoW would be when randomly adjusting ur lvl ur gear would have to match up and that would be where its a problem i have no idea how they fixed it in champions online cause gear is in that game too but it seems to work

  • Totalbiscuit culls the forums.

    A much better subsitution for CoT culling of strat!

  • You btr be flattered now :)

  • dude, when u have a lvl 21 lock in shatt or w/e its kinda hard to get to the portal :D

  • Blizzard said they had the idea of lowering levels to make people (like 85) to make them level 50, they said it at Blizzcon... :| where is it blizz

  • The Daily Blues segment was hilarious. 

  • Thinking a little more...the "wrong heirloom gear" question really would only apply to Tanks....squishyness and all that. I can think of a number of times it wouldn't really affect the fight if DPS or healer was in BOA that was say for a healer or such...DPS might be a little low, but as long as tank survives and the healer doesn't go OOM in the middle of all the fights it just might take a little longer. Meh-farming JP's are so easy, plus you can get the Honor heirloom stuff -Just spec right.

  • The problem is lowbie instances are so easy they CAN be tanked in the wrong specs. They can even be healed in the wrong specs, too.

  • Satchels...well so far only getting gold :| but still got a few nice pieces for offspec :) At least it didn't bug to where everyone was getting the mounts on the first runs...that would have caused a major uprising.

  • poor bashiok!

  • @TotalHalibut You forgot to put up the lniks to the trailers.

  • leveling tanks and healers are easy you just grind dungeons all day long for a start healers and tanks will always have shorter queues to get into a dungeon, grinding dungeons allows the player to learn how to tank/heal properly and as your character levels and gains new spells you will learn how to work them into rotations also you gain experience in how to handle different situations because from dungeon to dungeon different bosses will often have simillar mechanics in how they fight

  • @empireofmatt Don't forget the better loot too :) Also if your new let the group know up front most of the time they'll offer a heads up if there is some particular thing in the dungeon that gave them trouble. CD management is a big learner during these :)

  • I make mistakes, sometimes when I'm not paying attention I fling my non-druid toons off cliffs because I'm just too used to doing that >.<

  • leveling as a tank is easy and fun now try leveling a god damn healer u have any idea how little damge resto shammies do? not very much

  • people are so anal. who the fk cares if the portals are back or not. it only benefits everyone... shiet people just feel so shitty in real life they try to make up for it in a great game designed to escape reality for a couple of hours a day

  • Navigation problems? Just hire a Mage, better than finding things out yourself and you help the economy by buying portals. ;)

  • TB just gonna point this out, but in Arenas and Rated BG's you fight people with rating very close to yours, so if you had say a 500 rating you wouldn't be fighting anyone above a 750 rating (if even that).

  • i dont get y ppl get ticked off at unsaid changes...shit its just a fkn game and all the complainies are dumb and suck at the game that cant get past 1200 rating or maloriak....

  • I just read some of that stuff from blizzards forums and I got to say I haven't seen more idiotic people, well, probably anywhere. "you failedz to metion this and that in ur patchnotez thatz a conspiracycyc!"- "No, it's just human error"- "mi don'tz beliiv u, uare jst hiding smthing or ur lazy!" What?...What? I can't read that anymore, my head's gonna explode.

  • blizzard should remove all portals because it sucks to have an awesome big world, where nobody is. people should run to all places at their own. isnt it enough that blizzard addet 310% flying speed ?

  • @WarcraftTitan Yes, i agree. Also, removing the function to automatically teleport to a dungeon would be neat. I miss having to run all the way from Stormwind to Feralas back in 2006 in order to go Dire Maul

  • @TheRoflSaurus nah i think dungeonfiner is a good idea. but it isnt done very well i think. they should make the use of the dungeonfinder possible only once a day. if you wanna go again to the ini you would have to run, or wait for the next day. that would fix all problems people have with the dungeonfinder.

  • Mages just mad because they can't charge for portals anymore. >> =D

  • @DawsenC why not?

  • What happent to the background music?

  • Tanklvling is good..

  • lol i like how most of these people on the daily blues BLAITENTLY make up stories just to get on the show because if you need TB's opinion on fukin obvious self explaintary questions your ill so very very ill

  • EVERY forum for any game ESPECIALLY multiplayer games always have a terrible community. TF2, WoW, any other MMO ever. The majority of player bases for all online games are all terrible no matter what.

  • Tobias? possible Mortal Kombat reference?

  • The reason I stopped playing wow...the player base...Still like to watch your updates though...so much lolz from the idiots in the forums.

  • Jizz In My Pants

  • I understand everything you are saying, but what is the downside to re-opening the portals ?

  • hahaha i remeber the old bruces guild they sucked so much but that is what happens when an other guilds sucks out any talent your able to get

  • Levelling as a prot warrior = levelling with any warrior spec without having to regain hp after a fight.

  • Will there still be an Azeroth Daily 2morrow? since its the royal wedding and all? :)

  • @JayJayJasy you think TB will watch that stupid thing ?, god i hope not

  • @applegeek18 Well, he is british....

  • @TheMonkeyOfRandomnes i know a lot of people who are British yet i spoke to them and they said, pfft waste of time, over hyped waste of money, now what do you think TB will be doing ?, watching the event on TV where he could be creating content people love and enjoy, sure it his choice but he doesn't like to disappoint his fan base that's for sure,

    btw are you interested in this wedding ?

  • @applegeek18 I acutally doubt TB will be watching but you never know. You're right he doesn't like to disappoint people and he doesn't seems like the kind of person to care about those kinds of things.

    I really don't care at all about that shit, I'm swedish so it doesn't even matter for me :D

  • Heirloom gear idea, instead of buying the heirloom you should be able to buy a token which could then be exchanged for an heirloom, then once the heirloom has run its use, it can be sold back for the token, which can then be used to purchase another heirloom piece. just my 2 cents.

  • @srsly101 This would be amazing, the ammount of time i've spent grinding Justice points for heirlooms

  • @srsly101 i think tht idea would work very well, but som1 would find a way to abuse it

    I still think tht is the best option thou

  • @TheOverShadowedFate how could people abuse it though i don't see how it could be bad?:P

  • @srsly10 some1 would find a way, i don't no how but we're human so they would find it

    But tht would take awhile so yea, ur idea is probably the best we're gonna get,

  • @srsly101 never happen. They want you to use your JP on them rather than only having to do the JP grind once... Just like a gold sink, only a JP sink instead.

  • @ldaulaire yea i get that it's a way of getting people to keep playing, i didn't say it would happen, but it would make the player base happier.

  • @srsly101 for people who play a few alts at the same time I imagine that'd be too much hassle to constantly trade in the token everyday if it were 1 token for head, 1 token for chest etc and then buy it all again for another character only to play it for an hour or something.

    It'd be better to simply put class restrictions on the gear like the tier sets have, so if you buy a plate chest, only DK warrior and pala could use it and then you don't get any warriors wearing cloth

  • @omfgSHORYUKEN True, but would they rather do that, or grind out 8400 honor points for all shoulders, or

    8700 for justtice shoulders, + 8700 for all justice chest pieces, then some amount around 10k min for the weapons( not sure how much they cost) plus we now have the added tanking gear to, the above amounts aren't even counting the caster and melee pieces of each of them. like i said its just my 2 cents, you don't have to agree.

  • @srsly101 I got another idea, instead of having characters, you should have tokens, you hand it in and get fully epic character once you get bored it could be exchanged for another character in full epics. I MEAN COME ON I PAY FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION!!!!! ... oh wait

  • @SoniStreet Erm, not the same concept, at all, the whole concept of "heirloom items" implies being handed from one character to the other. To help with the level grind, since most people believe the game begins at 85. I in no way agree with not getting thing's you didn't work for, though i should point out that at the minute honor and justice points aren't exactly hard to come by, just time consuming..

  • @srsly101 Never used heirlooms and never will :p

  • @Brazinger2 That's fair enough then none of the changes will affect you. ;) but for me on my now.. 7th time through azeroth and 4th since cata came out, the game becomes a bit tedious and end game is all i want to get to.

  • @srsly101 I have 33 characters :D

  • @Brazinger2 i have like 60 something, most dont get past level 20 though :P

  • @srsly101 You can't have more than 50 characters on one account.

  • @srsly101 60? o.O But 50 is max per account D:

  • @Brazinger2 my account as well on a few on a shared account, but like i said most dont count cause they arent past 20/get deleted, i prob have like 10 i actively play :P

  • @srsly101 Oky, I used them once for a short time, but didn't like them..

  • conquest points are more or less useless for high rated people because we have full victorius atms :) will be usefull next season

  • TB expecting people to spend 8 or 9 minutes of their first minutes back in the game flying to ports when the only portals they claim to have restored were to SW or Orgrimmar can suck a dick. You tell players that they should be embarrassed for wasting other peoples time yet you expect players to waste their own on a poorly thought out city placement that DEPENDED on portals. Not today, pal.

  • @brandonsd you complete idiot, the portals were removed for the sole purpose of making the zones feel more alive, portal travel is lazy, go and take a gryphon over to that port and have a look at the scenery, suck it pal you just can't stand people actually travelling around the world Blizz created ?, they are not poorly city placements, they did not depend on portals, they were Perks nothing more, they were not a necessity, come to think of it i never wen't out of Northrend for half the xpac !

  • @applegeek18 So players should "enjoy the scenery" over doing what the actually want for what reason again? Because you say it's nice? Dude the portals were there from day one. I didn't say they should bring all the portals back so people can zip here and there. My sentiment is that the single portals are a GOOD THING. And TB's attitude that players are lesser for wasting other peoples time yet blizzard can make you do it to yourself. You are the idiot for being on blizz's nuts bro.

  • @brandonsd I misred your first comment, i thought you were implying all the portals should come back, mistake on my part, ty for clearing it up

  • Everytime TB said my name I got excited xD

    P.S. My name is Tobias

  • If TotalBiscuit had a son, would he be called . . . . . TotalCookie ?

  • You can tank just fine in non-tank specs for about the firs 60 levels, but you need to be wearing the right gear- not cloth. Also, please get a sword/shield if you're playing a pally/warr

  • Using the wrong heirloom gear is totally stupid. However I have tanked as ret in an old dungeon. It is not easy at all but is possible. At the same time I had a group that was very understanding about it and we did accomplish what we set out to do in the dungeon. Expecting a tank spec however is not insane at all.

  • @MrAber28 True Ret can do it ok...Consecrate & righteous fury for the threat will work pretty easy until 50 or so then you really start taking a lot of damage that the healer will start having some trouble keeping you up, but a skilled player can handle it pretty well. Warrior's even more so as they don't loose a ton of abilities just switching to defensive stance and wielding sword and shield. But once you're in wrath and cata stuff you just can't do it effectively.

  • There's still a cap on conquest points...

  • PLEASE HELP

    im wondering, i have an account that only has up to wrath of the lich king, and i got a new computer so i do not have any wow downloaded onto my computer. If i buy cataclysm and put it onto my account, will all 4 expansions work ???

    also it says my account is status is frozen and my world of warcraft remote is unsubscribed. so if i buy a pre paid card, will my account start to work again??

  • @CookieMonsterCS Download off battlenet mate :) As the boxsets for each expantion are binded to your battlenet, so it should all work mate

    and yes if you buy a pre-paid card and add it on the battlenet site to your wow account you should be okay to play.

  • @DaDarrell do i have to buy it off of battle.net ???

  • no, login to your battlenet account, and you should be able to direct download the software

  • @CookieMonsterCS If like you said, you have previously had the other expantions then you can download them straight off battlenet without having to buy them again.

  • @DaDarrell how do i do this. im on battle.net right now and i cannpt find where i can download all the previus expansion packs

  • @CookieMonsterCS You need all previous expansions to run Cata, just install them.

  • @CookieMonsterCS It says frozen because you don't have a sub up, and it will work if you re-install WoW to your new computer ^^

  • @CookieMonsterCS On the download yes should work just fine. You may need to enter your CD key's unless you were a straight download the first time. and all expansions should work.

    Yes on the pre-paid card that will reactivate the account. If it's been inactive for a long time, I'd recommend changing the email once you reactivate just in case and the authenticators are a must have IMO

  • Ah but TB, conquest points take no time at all to cap anyway. so gear will always be easy to get if people aren't being lazy. :P

  • Final Fantasy allows you to drop your level down to play with friends I think too, though I think they also allow you to keep experience as a percentage so dropping down to lvl up a friend actually benefits you beyond having fun. Not sure how they deal with gear and talents as I don't play it, this is all second hand knowledge :p

  • There are ports to Org/Stormwind in Dal and Shatt now... FYI

  • At those levels the grind of an instance would be the best option for leveling, if you get a tanking-spec to match. And with the freebie that dual-speccing is today, you can just buy it as soon as it's available and continue with DPS for questing. I've leveled tanking alts from level 1 because I had no clue how to tank (Main healer from closed beta-Cata), and even at the end of wotlk you could get a grp within seconds as a tank.

    Morons be morons, fury/retri-tanks can suck it.

  • Bashiok is awesome and doesn't take crap from nobody.

  • haha, tb is great. oh forum goers.

  • Portal cahnge was fairly straight forward, player retention should you get back an older player. It was a company change not a game design one, dont read too much into it

  • TB, the map for northrend is mirrored in the intro. the white rectangular zone that's currently west should be east, since it's zul'drak.

  • @natekers oh god. how have i never seen that before? lolz :D

  • @natekers i think he knows by now after the few comments on evert video..

  • I always listen to you TH, i dont watch the video, just listening while being on Facebook or Playing games :)

  • You need some sleep. You're extremely grumpy in this video. 

  • @malorkayel customer server doesn't mean taking £%!% from people.

  • at 11:37 when he mouses over Tobias Mistmantle, he has that info near his pointer, i have that addon somewhere but i dont know what one it is and how to enable it to be on my pointer when i mouse over something. a littl hep would be nice. I downl
