Guild Wars 2 Game Tester

I am officially throwing my name in the hopper for consideration as a GW1 tester. I swear anet, I won't talk!!!

I'm not sure you would be saying that if you actually did QA. It is alot more tedious than you might think. having to test things over and over again, and then documenting it for people to fix, then you have to test the thing again and when something gets fixed, it may break something else and well...

you get it, it can be very tedious but if it sounds like you could handle all that, and all the hours it would entail, then good on you ^_^

it beats working at fast food joints or boring desk jobs. not to mention, this would look pretty damn impressive on resume.

throwing my name into the hat also.

1.get the job
2.leak gw2 info
3.????
4.profit

you forgot:

5: get sued for leaking gw2 info

and

6: get blacklisted and never work in the game industry again

7) but we need to know if there will be an npc that can change your hairstyles

well at least its another step in proving that GW 2 isnt just vaporware. Those who test will not be allowed to release information as they can be sued and even worse.

and

7. Spouse walks out because you're no longer bringing in those huge game tester bucks.

... that what sarcasm. People on this forum take things too seriously...(I like it!)

Just because there is a NDA doesn't mean some of it could get leaked... by people snooping around and wikileaks anybody?

Sadly, everything else looked good for me, except that...

We also have jobs in other areas of the country that involve QA Testing. For a full list of all jobs across the NCsoft org, check this page: http://us.ncsoft.com/en/jobs/index.html

Wishful thinking?

I don't think Wikileaks concerns themselves over a video game, lol.

Testing is terrible!

Well look at it this way, if they was going to do a beta this last year that means obviously something has to be somewhat playable. I am sure there is alot left to do but also I bet there is alot that works that they just won't show yet.

Every new build for GW1 needs to be play-tested before release, and that falls under QA.

I'm sure the position will cover both games.

Good news I guess, means that GW2 is at (or almost at) at stage where it can be tested thoroughly.

They are looking for testers, unfortunately not for armchair-designers.

I still hope at least one of the testers has the guts to tell them frankly if the game is not fun to him. Which is actually not his job, which is testing.
