Dev Chat
Overview
Das Lab schedules developer chats during feature rollouts and other interesting updates. Check out the Developer Blog in your newsfeed for announcements!
Players can ask the game developers questions, report problems and suggest UI improvements at these chats.
If you want to get involved in the meantime, try the Eterna Forums. This is the best place to report issues, any time. Try searching first to see if there is already a thread!
For Eternacon committe chats, please see the appropriate subpage of Eternacon for the given year.
