Paul, I don't know how well you know reddit AMA's, but I just wanted to give you some advice. Make sure you leave a lot of the PR speak at home. This isn't going to be some gaming journalist throwing you softballs, nor is it going to be a bunch of people dazzled by buzz words. The key to a successful AMA is to treat the community like adults and with respect. If they feel like you're jerking them around giving non-answers from your marketing department, they're going to call you on it and the whole thing will backfire on you. Especially if you just answer a few easy softball questions and call it a night. Anyway, I'm not writing this to scare you. I'm doing it because I want you to knock it out of the park and get more people interested in this fantastic series. Just be yourself, have fun, and all will be well.

Let's stick to questions about Rampart, guys.

My question.. why do I have to go to reddit...

Simple answer: You don't. You could just wait and read the transcript.

More complex answer: Video game forums only represent an extremely tiny percentage of any game's actual playerbase, and quite possibly 0% of any potential playerbase the game *could* gain. Reddit (and really, practically ANY other media outlet) is much more accessible for people outside these forums, which is practically everyone else interested or curious about the game.

Two questions... I only see two questions being answered. They actually answering questions or is this in hopes that we'll think you actually want to hear us?

It takes time. And the other guys have answered questions as well.

It only took 14mins for reddit to make fun of Garth's name.

copied straight over from those links.

"Tutorial vids and more information will be coming up next week. We want to make sure everyone has the best experience when they get in. Stay tuned for more info!"

"When it comes to matchmaking, we have a multi-tier rollout plan that will address the requests from design and the community in the form of basic quick fixes to massive implementations (like Community Warfare). There will be times where it seems that we are crazy but you'll see how it rolls out very soon. Now it may sound like I'm dodging a timeline but I'm really not. We have a LOT on our plate and priorities are shifting on a daily basis.
In short to address the concerns of matchmaking: We are very aware that the current system is not ideal. It is in by no means where we want it to be but it will start gathering momentum sometime in the next few patches."


"This was one of the questions I anticipated so HA!...
We are looking into how we can ensure the Founder's can be happy with their purchase in terms of the Premium Account timeline and when does the time start ticking away. This is a business decision that is out of the realm of my design bubble, but I can assure you that both Garth and I made sure that Bryan and Russ knew about your concerns (Garth did a dance).
That being said, they ARE going to address the issue. Both the hotdogs will be back from their business trip to discuss the actual final plan. I've seen all suggested solutions and all of them are definitely in the best interest of the Founder's packages."

This isn't too complicated...
