In this episode of the Tristram Live Diablo 3 Podcast, Zulu and Mcgabe discuss launch day, error 37, the auction house's troubles, and their first impressions of Diablo 3's four difficulty levels (Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Inferno).
Toward the end of the podcast, we also provide tips on how to get started in each of the four difficulty levels. Next week, we're going to be talking about the developer update in quite a bit of detail, so be sure to check back!
So May 15th is finally upon us and we're ready to bite the bullet. Starting tomorrow at 3:00 AM Eastern Time, we will be broadcasting live on Twitch TV for 24 hours straight! We'll be racing to Nightmare and Hell modes as fast as we can, and who knows, maybe we'll even get a U.S. first or two.
We'll be monitoring chat, taking questions, and interacting with the community in general throughout the day. If you're one of the few unlucky enough to be at work, or you're just interested in watching some moderately funny people go balls to the wall at Diablo 3, come check us out before 3 AM on Wednesday morning. You'll be able to watch either in the Stream section of our site or over on Twitch.
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.
