As someone who works in QA, I would have loved to be at GDC to hear this.

I'm on twitter (@lancehit), and I'll definitely post any links to the talk there, once they're available.

One of the interesting key points was the sheer number of groups that need to ingest these test results.

There's the product management team as a whole that need certain subsets of data.

The engineering team needs to know when things break due to code issues (features not working as intended).

The design team needs to know when certain actions aren't able to be completed (say due to a portion of a map being broken).

However, the results of tests are largely informational, NOT part of the main release process (i.e. all tests must pass or they absolutely cannot release). They aid the build process, not block it.

Automation results are still a key part of the release process, just not in a way that blocks developer workflow. There are far too many people contributing to each branch to stop all development when a test breaks.

then shoot off an email for verification.

Hmm. I didn't receive a verification email; after submitting I saw only the "Thank you for signing up!" page.

I use a similar address format to the OP; [email protected]

The verification email is only sent if the address was not yet in our system.

If you saw the "Thank You" msg then you're all set.

What do you mean by 2 seconds? Do they test all skills and mechanics of the game in 2 seconds...? Also, THANK YOU for this information. I was very interested.

on average, every 2 seconds we are finalizing a test result. The tests take about 5 minutes to run each, but because we run them in parallel, the test completion rate is compressed significantly.

ArenaNet, please fix that email-field to follow standards.

From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696 (see also http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531)

Without quotes, local-parts may consist of any combination of alphabetic characters, digits, or any of the special characters

! # $ % & ' * + - / = ?  ^ _ ` . { | } ~

period (".") may also appear, but may not be used to start or end the local part, nor may two or more consecutive periods appear. Stated differently, any ASCII graphic (printing) character other than the at-sign ("@"), backslash, double quote, comma, or square brackets may appear without quoting. If any of that list of excluded characters are to appear, they must be quoted. Forms such as

Are you having trouble with an address failing validation preventing you from signing up? PM me if that's the case!

Right now our approach is to ensure the address is [email protected], then shoot off an email for verification.

I'd also rather the game show items you can't salvage with a red tint, versus 'highlighting' ones you can. The highlighting makes it difficult to see the salvageable items' rarity levels (the colored borders).

Hey guys. The issue in the original post is totally a bug, and I like this suggestion as well.

This is going on my to-do list for the next time I've got some down time for little fixes =D.

Aw. I liked multilingual golems.

The concept of English, French, German and Chinese languages actually don't exist in Tyria. As such, you should only be able to hear one language at a time, your primary audio language in settings. Sorry, no multilingual golems or anything else for that matter.

Even if it was a fun bug for some of you, having consistency in our game is important enough that we intend to straighten things like this out when we can. Please do think of people who are really unhappy with things like this before you criticize the bugfix, there's actually a lot more of them than you may think.

That Golem fellow which was greeting people in 3 languages (Good Morning. Guten Morgen. Bonjour.) now does that just in English.

I actually fixed that bug several releases ago. Thanks for noticing it anyway! It actually plays in the language that is your primary audio language.

Yes, thank you all very much! I read the comments that were printed out before snagging a cupcake. Can you imagine how nice it was to receive this gift?

All I can suggest is that those that believe they have been wrongfully banned contact our customer support team: https://help.guildwars2.com/home (to create a ticket).

Figured I might as well ask here. Can you please ask the people that design the armor. To make some medium chest armor that's not a coat or trench coat.

While we read Reddit and do pick up feedback from here, I believe something like this requires more community involvement - I will pass it along though.

Currently the best place to start discussions about this sort of thing are on our official forums: http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum
