Special Community Chat About Matchmaking and FAQ!

I spy matchmaking on the horizon.

Hello Everyone!

As matchmaking gets closer, we want to share everything we’ve learned working on it in the past six months, the monumental changes and shifts we’ve made due to the amazing ideas and feedback that’s been given to us, and what you guys should expect to see in your game very soon. You’ll find us live at 3 pm eastern at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus.

We’d love everyone to show up, supporters, detractors, and everyone in between, so you can hear what we want to put forth and we can get your feedback as we wrap up on some huge changes.

We’re more than happy to talk about everything from what led to this choice to some of the crazy steps we’ve taken along the way so bring your questions and an open mind.

Thank you again for everyone who came out to help us test at any point. Your efforts, critiques, and input made the system 100 times stronger than we could have ever imagined.

FAQ incoming after the jump soon
