For those of you who followed our Twitch sessions and previous announcements, you have an idea just how challenging that piece of the game was to make.
In the patch notes, Stefan explains how this is the barebones version of the feature. It works, you'll be able to play with your friends in a ranked game but it is not yet in its final form.
We weighted the urgency of your need versus the stability and usability of the feature and decided to release it in its current state. We will continue to improve it in the future.
Now go and make poor survival choices together!
