The team has been hard at work, but this week we’re going to talk about the community events starting tomorrow!

More than that though tomorrow is a giant youtuber event and the servers are going to be filled! We spent the week preparing for the new players and we’re super excited to see all our vets welcome in these newbies with open arms.

Instead of listing what everyone did this week, which can be summarized with made sure this patch got out on time and now working on the inevitable little oddities. After the jump you’ll find the video for last week’s Dev Fireside chat.
