BlackSix Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Any chance of this showing up on iTunes? I find it easier to keep track of podcasts that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainsfords Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I like how they determine balance by "having a guy come in and saying this class has to much of this". Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogmir Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I thought it was an interesting talk about the inner game mechanics of balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireIndy Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I like how they determine balance by "having a guy come in and saying this class has to much of this". Sigh. Just no. Anyways, loved it.

Abisco Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I really enjoyed listening to it. Great insight on whats going on with 1.2 Can we get a link to the iTunes podcast? I can't seem to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBaine Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Some comments/suggestions: - The format is good, there's dynamic there, although you're doing reporting rather than having a roundtable discussion. Reporting about what's going on should happen in teaser trailers, which is a much better vehicle for that sort of thing, not a podcast. Having actual discussions between developers would be extremely interesting. - The idea of bringing in guests from different parts of the design team is very interesting, especially if the topic coincides with what they're working on. As long as there's a stable host (or hosts) throughout the life of the podcast. - Maybe include an e-mail address specifically for the podcast that people can give questions to. Mailbags are usually pretty dry most of the time, but with you guys being on the inside, the right kind of question could spark a good discussion if there's nothing big going on. - Responding to an earlier point, I wouldn't recommend adding videos. That's something people can look up in teasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRurik Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I like how they determine balance by "having a guy come in and saying this class has to much of this". Sigh. Where you really even paying attention to what they said. They said they respond and pay attention more to the people who say/make a thread about "(X) ability says it's supposed to work this way but I think it is working a different way than intended" and less to people who just say the would like their class to have more of something or a class to have less of something else. Anyway, enjoyed the podcast. Would prefer video podcasts, I've always preferred those more idk why I just like to see the people talking (miss the Roosterteeth video podcasts :/) Edited March 31, 2012 by IRurik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xodiss Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 iTunes has their podcast store which auto DL's new episodes as soon as they are available.

wallywaffles Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm a bit of a podcast fiend so this is great for me. Can't wait for the RSS to become available. In the meantime, guess I'll listen the "old fashioned" way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
