Tristram Live Diablo 3 Podcast Episode 2 - The Evolution of Diablo
In this episode of the Tristram Live Diablo 3 Podcast, we talk about the evolution of the game, including topics like Diablo 1's skill books, Diablo 3's Nephalem Valor system, and chain-chugging potions in Diablo 2 boss fights.
Friendly to the veteran and newcomer alike, this episode is a great chance for people who didn't play the Diablo 3 beta to get a better idea of how the game differs from Diablo 2.
We went to great pains to improve the sound quality for this podcast and we think it came out much better than last week!
What do you think about the differences between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3? Are you a fan? Sound off in the comments.
“They
command ancient magics rooted in the primal powers of life and death, and are
adept at summoning fearsome, shadowy creatures. A witch doctor is armed with
simple talismans, fetishes, rough carvings… and endless ravening throngs of
vengeful spirits set to bring destruction at their master’s command.”
Diablo 3's Witch Doctor class is one of the more novel classes ever made in video games,
fulfilling a necromancer-like role without the normal clichés. With spells like
Plague of Toads, Firebats and Wall of Zombies, the Witch Doctor’s spells range
from eccentric to the ridiculously powerful.
Tristram Live Diablo 3 Podcast Episode 2 - The Evolution of Diablo
Hello everyone and welcome to Tristram Live!
We've been slaving over getting the site set up for the past few weeks and we're finally ready for people to check it out. We've got tabs set up at the top so you can navigate to each of the different platforms that we produce content for, as well as an about page that also has our contact/social media information and some details about the site's contributors, Zulu and Mcgabe.
As for content, we are planning to bring you frequent posts addressing key happenings in the Diablo 3 community, including blue posts, patch notes and everything in between. However, we're not aiming to be a news source. All of our posts are going to be responses to news or discussions going on in the community, based on our own opinions and analysis.
Streaming is also going to be a big component of the site. We're already planning an all-day streaming event May 15, where we invite you to come watch and talk to us about Blizzard's latest action-RPG. Details on which nights we will regularly stream will be released later.
Last but not least, we have the podcast. The podcast is going to feature strategy discussion, including skills, spell sets, rune selection and everything else. If there's time between all the nerd rambling, we'll try to cover any big ideas people are talking about on the forums.
That being said, we've got to start somewhere, so in this episode we'll be talking about our pre-launch opinions of the game and impressions from the beta. We've included details about the streaming event on May 15 in addition to some great discussion, so we hope you'll stay a while...and listen.
