All of your instance vids are awesome, sir. I thank you for taking the time to make these. It helps out quite a bit in getting people acquainted with the instances, heroics specifically. Good stuff!
@lrossi888 In our case, things went better than usual. I had one of our Cylon's executed and allowed our Admiral to be killed in an Assassination event, who turned out to the other Cylon. GG.
Yeah, I was suprised that beta ended so abruptly. I had an awesome time in the beta and I thank Blizz for inviting me, but man did that come out of left field. All of a sudden I read a blue post that basically said: "Beta is over, kthanksbye."
in the part where you spoke bout using soundclips instead of mods that tell you something (around 5:00) the reason you find it easier is because the mind can process a recognised sound a lot easier than a group of words quickly appearing then disappearing, this is because when reading your mind has to think what each letter means then think of what the word means but with a sound your brain instantly tells you this is going to happen so do this
Agreed TotalBiscuit what you said on the music. I cant play without music, too. I just imagined, if I wouldn't have played with music, I would never heard the awesome Ulduar music...would be a shame.
i got another example for a soft enrager. In the Putricide fight. If the player using putricides minion aint eating up the slime quick enough it will eventually cover the whole room.
Great vid as always TB nice to hear ya feeling better to! hope to see some more epicness in the future :D! OMFG CATAS ONLY A WEEK OR SO AWAY *shakey knees*
TB Thanks for upping all these vids, really much better then the text explenations :) a picture says a thousand words. a video running at 30+fps is a book.
How do you think the gear from 80 will do in these dungeons/raids? Also, compared to WoTLK dungeons/raids, do these seem easier? Harder? Or somewhere in between? They look really hard lol. Thanks for all of the videos!
Total, I think i speak for everyone when I say thank you so much for the videos and we look forward to your future content. Now go take a well deserved break till the 7th or you will 'total'
Hey TB, great video, I have a suggestion for you next instance video! I kno that some of the addons dont really work with cata beta, but for next time, can you put in a DPS meter? Im really curious to see how much dps i could do in Cata :D,
@FlyingFruit1221 When guilds reach lvl cap (lvl 25) anyone in the guild can use the ability Mass Resurrection which resses everyone in the raid. It's only usable once per raid though, I believe.
@TotalHalibut oh the BattleStar Galactica boardgame, is it worth getting? I heard its got a nice betrayer mechanic. Is it similar to Betrayal at House on the hill? Dunno if youve played that though.
even with 4.2 out, this dungeon still can bug out a bit. For example, the hallway at 5:00 would be cleared, then the boss freaks out and the corridor resets.
I totally get the playing with sound. I played with sound for years and in many cases when I turned it off I felt "blind" ^^ Seriously, it seems like half of my WoW perception is gone with no sound.
i noticed you use frostfire blot as your main spam along with teh occasional scorch, with the new builds in cata is that a viable rotation or just you hung over XD, if its viable i'd like a quick explanation cause i always liked frostfire bolt and thought it underused
@Alakomonus15 What's to explain? Let's look at tank health. In Vanilla, the most uber tanks who raided end game stuff had 9000 health, MAYBE. Usually less. In TBC these tanks reached around 20k health and more. In Wrath 75k health isn't unheard of. What do you think is going to happen in Cata? Non-tank health has increased just the same. What, did you think everyone was going to get an extra 1000 health and and it would be business as usual?
That Undead Hunter didn't do shit on the first boss. He attacked for a few seconds, then stopped and looked around doing nothing, got killed, and logged off.
I noticed in the chat window, for one of your group members, it said their realm was "Lost Isles(US)"..is the dungeon finder now linking EU and US servers? or is this just for the Beta?
I see you aren't using Mage Ward much TB, even in fights with a lot of elemental damage. Do you simply forget to use it, or is it too mana expensive for it's absorbation value? I'm not going to discriminate your play-style, I'm simply curious, it seems like a very nice way to get strain off the healer's mana.
I was just sitting there, head slouching down, watching the vid, listening to it, not really focusing all that much on it... suddenly 9:40 and i jump up like OMG yes?
i found a bad thing .... a gnome was riding on my mamoth when were we going up the jelly fish lift and i click of the mamoth and the gut fell to the bottom .......pour gnome ...would blizz fix that?
Curious Total, Been watching you fir a lil wile now, and i have Never seen you counterspell? How come? It might be the PvPr in me (2300 rogue) but i saw a lot of those mobs heal ALOT in front of you.
I loved these instances when they first came out so much... Shame they were fucked over
@Elzaros101 Dunno what the fuck happened there honestly. I use a template for each video and somehow the intro disappeared off that one.
All of your instance vids are awesome, sir. I thank you for taking the time to make these. It helps out quite a bit in getting people acquainted with the instances, heroics specifically. Good stuff!
Thanks for all the awesome beta content, TB. You've managed to keep me sane with glimpses of what was to come during these doldrums before launch.
@AtilaCXL I've put a bit on the end of Part 2 about that.
@absouteepic Well there's barely any addons running on that beta client. That's just Quartz pretty much.
@lrossi888 In our case, things went better than usual. I had one of our Cylon's executed and allowed our Admiral to be killed in an Assassination event, who turned out to the other Cylon. GG.
@punjabikid23 You don't seem to have paid attention to what was said.
Yeah, I was suprised that beta ended so abruptly. I had an awesome time in the beta and I thank Blizz for inviting me, but man did that come out of left field. All of a sudden I read a blue post that basically said: "Beta is over, kthanksbye."
Ground-poison graphic effects are amazing. I can't imagine anyone will have an excuse for not noticing that the're standing in that....
I hope your LAN weekend was fun TB. Glad to see you posting for us again. Hope you will keep it up on live vids for us.
"But hey there you go" I love that line!
this place reminds me of the cinimatics from Final Fantasy 10 all of the pretty water effects and awesome textures
Another deliverance from the godlike TB, thanks for everything you do man.
Yay! Videos are back! Made my day!! Take care TB!
in the part where you spoke bout using soundclips instead of mods that tell you something (around 5:00) the reason you find it easier is because the mind can process a recognised sound a lot easier than a group of words quickly appearing then disappearing, this is because when reading your mind has to think what each letter means then think of what the word means but with a sound your brain instantly tells you this is going to happen so do this
finally i have waited for this forever
Cata videos ending mehh I come to your channel for more then just the WoW vids, btw thanks for showing the cinematic with sound, it was pretty awesome
Tb sounds so young lol, his voice is not as deep as it is now!
@Cheese4Everyone Damn straight.
@WoWster0 Yeah.
Agreed TotalBiscuit what you said on the music. I cant play without music, too. I just imagined, if I wouldn't have played with music, I would never heard the awesome Ulduar music...would be a shame.
Haha sounds like you had fun over the weekend. Sorry to hear the beta has been ended so suddenly. :( Thanks for the vids TB!
i got another example for a soft enrager. In the Putricide fight. If the player using putricides minion aint eating up the slime quick enough it will eventually cover the whole room.
Great vid as always TB nice to hear ya feeling better to!
hope to see some more epicness in the future :D!
OMFG CATAS ONLY A WEEK OR SO AWAY *shakey knees*
@fordalul no, its his last cata beta vid though. The next wow vid that he does after part 2 will be from live servers or ptr.
TB Thanks for upping all these vids, really much better then the text explenations :)
a picture says a thousand words.
a video running at 30+fps is a book.
that helm that tb has is so bad ass looking can wait to get my hands on it
@matt414243 its a mage only spell and its called Mirror Image, as of patch 4.0.1 i think you can get it at either 50 or 52
@MourneOne It's a guild ability named Mass Ressurect, I think you need a guild at the level 25.
i am so happy to be able to make out such large squares of changing colors. but where is the WoW video?
Fuckin great tuning in this. I hope blizz never nerfs these.
How do you think the gear from 80 will do in these dungeons/raids? Also, compared to WoTLK dungeons/raids, do these seem easier? Harder? Or somewhere in between? They look really hard lol. Thanks for all of the videos!
Total, I think i speak for everyone when I say thank you so much for the videos and we look forward to your future content. Now go take a well deserved break till the 7th or you will 'total'
TotalHalibut could you make a video about the new castbar UI? I see that you now can see the cooldowns on the spell icons on the castbar.
I always blink out of ground pound. Easier to avoid taking unecassary damage that way and helps your healer conserve mana on those pulls.
Got a great idea for a drinking game.
Every time someone screws up in a PuG raid, you'll take a drink.
Try survive a whole raid.
the beta closed but the public test realm has some of the new zones and possibly one of the dungeons
hope your feeling better TB gonna watch this tomorrow Gn every1
Very nice video..Just got a question though,what are you gonna do now that the betas over?
Hey TB, great video, I have a suggestion for you next instance video!
I kno that some of the addons dont really work with cata beta, but for next time, can you put in a DPS meter? Im really curious to see how much dps i could do in Cata :D,
is the big letter cooldown timer ontop of your abilities an addon or a new feature?
and keep up the good work
TB, are you going to continue doing videos about cata when it goes live? Like, wipe-athon 3000 vids with your live guild? Playthroughs, etc.?
This is how pro TotalHalibut is, he gave me second thoughts on how WoW actually looks fun rather than bullshit
@FlyingFruit1221 When guilds reach lvl cap (lvl 25) anyone in the guild can use the ability Mass Resurrection which resses everyone in the raid. It's only usable once per raid though, I believe.
Total Biscuit is the best. There is no way I could hate a Brit with this personality he is awesome.
Was adding the extra little flap from the Tabard to people wearing Robes a new thing? I haven't seen it before.
been waiting for this for a while also cant wait till the 7/8th for the release cata
I did not notice the Tank for the first half of the video, but then I saw it was a Goblin.
@Lennarthasse W A D.
@TotalHalibut oh the BattleStar Galactica boardgame, is it worth getting? I heard its got a nice betrayer mechanic. Is it similar to Betrayal at House on the hill? Dunno if youve played that though.
wow dude that is so amazing the way it looks well done blizz about time we got something like this
@hi9122 Its in Vashj'ir in the whirlpool in abyssal depths, just swim in it and you'll find the entrance to the instance
considering the vast size of the void zones, it seems to me, that you're supposed to kite him along the corridor.
totalbiscuit you are truly great. i just want to know about the addon that shows you the uptime of your dots
Im really liking these new heroics the old ones were so easy and now they look like hard for once i am really looking forward to cata
even with 4.2 out, this dungeon still can bug out a bit. For example, the hallway at 5:00 would be cleared, then the boss freaks out and the corridor resets.
I totally get the playing with sound. I played with sound for years and in many cases when I turned it off I felt "blind" ^^ Seriously, it seems like half of my WoW perception is gone with no sound.

Nice video just watch it before going to school it makes my start of the day nice :)
Okay, beta is down, he`s pre-recorded this and editting it. Not a private server.
Throne of tides = One of the BEST looking Dungeon/ Instance
@Alakomonus15 What's to explain? Let's look at tank health. In Vanilla, the most uber tanks who raided end game stuff had 9000 health, MAYBE. Usually less. In TBC these tanks reached around 20k health and more. In Wrath 75k health isn't unheard of. What do you think is going to happen in Cata? Non-tank health has increased just the same.
What, did you think everyone was going to get an extra 1000 health and and it would be business as usual?
@makominami
The tooltip said you can receive only one mass res every 10 minutes and not in BGs or arena. Not sure about the spell CD if any ...
ToT really was a baptism by fire for anyone who didn't do any serious instances in LK. ToT fucked me over so hard on my Holy Pally first time through.
That Undead Hunter didn't do shit on the first boss. He attacked for a few seconds, then stopped and looked around doing nothing, got killed, and logged off.
This reminded me of Shade of Aran.
Good times were had in kara
14:40 or so...Mr.Blobby makes his return!
TB? I was wondering how you think all in all how fire has changed throughout the whole beta and if it is still top and most interavtive?
The throne of tides dungeon seems to be an homage to Bioshock.
@bigtunetrini no that is one of the damage dealers the tank is a prot goblin
@TotalHalibut Any approximate idea as to how much you were doing though? I have to admit i'm curious as well
that is probobly one of the best caster head pieces i have seen i awhile. hmm hope i can get it for my lock
I miss blue plz sigh
just building myself a block advertising button feel free to use it
1:20
Well no tequila or boardgames there goes my thanksgiving!
@natedreyno As opposed to Wrath, where you merely had a big dragon flying around?
That first boss looks more entertaining than the entire first wing of icc.
I did the same as tank on second boss but went through to the room where first boss was lol, i couldnt think of anything else to do.
Can't wait for cataclysm gonna be pretty cool
wow so that is the ancient guardian next to the... retribution tanking paladin?... if I am correct? i must say very interesting.
can't wait to play cata, gonna be so fun
the ground pound is totally easy to avoid on a hunter disengage ftw
I noticed in the chat window, for one of your group members, it said their realm was "Lost Isles(US)"..is the dungeon finder now linking EU and US servers? or is this just for the Beta?
@PwnNubtarzz Agreed,but I'm not PUG'ing the Heroics for a while.I'm going to mainly run them with friends/guildies.
I see you aren't using Mage Ward much TB, even in fights with a lot of elemental damage. Do you simply forget to use it, or is it too mana expensive for it's absorbation value? I'm not going to discriminate your play-style, I'm simply curious, it seems like a very nice way to get strain off the healer's mana.
I was just sitting there, head slouching down, watching the vid, listening to it, not really focusing all that much on it... suddenly 9:40 and i jump up like OMG yes?
please help me what kind of addon do you use with the castig bars?
I think that giant squid just jizzed himself..
Do we know if FFB is better than regular Fireball, or is it so close that we can effectively choose between them?
@Xavieric311 pardon? i dont recall mentioning foreplay. im just wondering what you're on about
Funny how you have full epic group as you say and you almost ran out of mana on 2nd boss. This will be pretty interesting in normal/crafted gear.
i found a bad thing .... a gnome was riding on my mamoth when were we going up the jelly fish lift and i click of the mamoth and the gut fell to the bottom .......pour gnome ...would blizz fix that?
omg I SO agree about having music in game turned on! No one does that except me and you xD
Anyone else think of the Undead Stygian Doll type mobs from Diablo II when they saw the Giblins?
@lobokindouomega Guardian of Ancient Kings, a new Paladin ability that can help with healing/keeping you alive/doing damage.
@1Saaquin1 I heard totalbiscuit say this, got excited, then realised he was wrong. Almost wanted to play my shaman again for a bit there.
Shamans cant remove Poison anymore. Cleanse Spirit: Removes one Curse effect from a friendly target. and can be talented to also remove magic.
Curious Total, Been watching you fir a lil wile now, and i have Never seen you counterspell? How come? It might be the PvPr in me (2300 rogue) but i saw a lot of those mobs heal ALOT in front of you.
@miniclu1 Couldn't have said it better myself! *salute*
