DiabloCast: The Diablo 3 Podcast

[:1]Hey guys!
Recently the guys over at DiabloFans.com and myself have teamed up, with the goal of collaborating to provide the community with the highest quality Diablo 3 News, Updates, and Entertainment. We will be working on many projects together from this point forward, the very first of which is our podcast - DiabloCast.
This will be a weekly podcast in which we discuss big news, recent events, and our opinions on various topics. We will also be having weekly polls and answering community questions.
This is as good a time as any to quote the sage words of Decard Cain.... stay a while and listen.

    Q&A
      Is this available on iTunes?
      Since we just started this podcast it is not yet available on iTunes. Based on my research it can take the guys at iTunes up to 3 weeks to accept a podcast for listing on iTunes. Once accepted podcasts will be up whenever we post them, but there will be an initial wait before they are available.

      When can I expect to see more podcasts?
      There will be a new podcast posted every Friday evening on my youtube channel, as well as a post on the DiabloFans front page.

      Who else will be on the podcast?
      Without naming names we expect to have many guests on the podcast in the future. From people involved in the Diablo 3 community to representatives of Blizzard.

|||This was actually really fun to do and like Force said, they'll be weekly, ;).|||I really enjoyed this. Glad to hear it'll be weekly.
But you know what's missing? It needs some Diablo music in the background.|||Yes, we all know about your cast. It's in your description thingie and you talked about this countless of times.

I'm really curious on what you can actually talk about when there's barely any news. Do you have access to developers, can bring forward new information? Any remotely official connection to Blizzard?|||

Yes on all accounts.

I'll be in the Beta day 1 and will be making 3-4 videos daily on top of my SC2 content.

This is how I make a living, so I suppose I'm just working overtime. =)

No doubt, :P.

And like Force mentioned in the OP, the clicking won't happen again, I apologize, :P.|||Shame, I much prefer incgamers over Sixen's site, so I probably won't listen anymore.|||

I am not quite sure how preferring one website over another means you are unable to listen to a podcast, but thats ok! Thanks anyway for the views, you'll be missing out on some great content!
Cheers,

I do wonder though, what could you be possibly talking about when we're in an info drought?

We've discussed some potential topics that could be brought up in that case.
Here's to hoping we won't have any droughts, ;).|||Nice work fellas. It was a good listen. Looking forward to the next one and I'm glad you guys can do it every week.|||Cool!
On the note of balancing PvE and PvP separately you guys talked about a little bit, it's something we want to largely avoid. I'm actually sort of confused where that info came from (I know you guys didn't just make it up I've seen it elsewhere). Somehow I feel like it's my fault, but maybe it was talked about at BlizzCon. We do have the ability to keep separate functionality, but we want to try to avoid big differences that make it feel like two different games when you play PvE and PvP. One area where things work differently, and we think it's ok, is in the case of CC, like stuns, snares, slows, etc. The duration of these skills is fairly significantly reduced when used against players, however, that same reduction in effectiveness is also see in the PvE game when it comes to unique/champion/boss monsters. So, it's not only a jarring difference, it's also actually experienced in PvE.
Bottom line is we'll have to wait and see but, as I said, it's something we have the ability to do if needed but would prefer to largely avoid. I just didn't want anyone to think that we're actively balancing them completely independently as that's not accurate.|||

From the question and answers at the PVP panel last year, this is precisely what Jay Wilson made it sound like. Granted, that isn't the best venue to go in-depth for game info, but still. That's where the impressions come from.
Also from the talk about how PVE comes first...some people just assume that this is the logical way to balance. Not necessarily that anyone explicitly said so.
Actually sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm sure that'd be a logistic nightmare for little payoff.|||

This. Jay said it.
