Ugh, that's going to look so messy. I want to know how they're going to be able to even READ our tl;dr walls of text that lack any punctuation \o_O/

Submitted now, at any rate. Whee.

Might I say that us 3 Joiry, Inde and Simath should completely be accepted to Test Krewe for testing and making the application work. Hint, Hint, Hint ArenaNet.

Maybe this was all a test, "if they can figure out how to get the application to work and what bug it is then they can be accepted."

Finally got mine working after doing the same. Still kept it short and sweet at just over 100 words though.

I was having problems until I took out the hard return in my address. I kept commas, ()'s, and periods.

Aye. I got mine to submit by removing all the hard returns and apostrophes. I agree that it really makes the application look messy but what the heck. I guess style points don't count.

Yeah, it's just the hard returns that are screwing it up. Not sure if ' are doing it though, I know they can break mysql so didn't check those.

I still had periods and commas in mine when it went through. A lot of commas actually, for my list of games beta'd.

Good to hear stuff's gettin' done. Wish I could join, but I'm not 18. x.x

But it's probably for the best, I would be way too biased in favor of rangers. xD

I guess the next time we will get some Charr in to watch the Asurans...

We have to take it down again, there are (as some of you have noticed as well) still some smaller kinks in there...

Don't worry, if you already submitted your information, it is stored

Sorry for the inconvenience

Awww, but it was like a pre-screening! Test their determination and their bug testing abilities with this small application.

Here's to hoping we don't get looked poorly upon for removing punctuation in order to get it to work I don't generally have the grammar of a high school freshman.

Where'd you guys pick up on news about this?

I guess since the site's down, I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning (hopefully) to send in an application.

They've um, announced it and unannounced it twice now.

One of those Murphy's Law things. If you release something at 5PM, end of business day, no matter how simple or easy it is.... IT WILL BREAK.

Are you sure that's wise? I mean, they're small, have those big ears... they probably only avoid being called 'mice' by the Charr because they're used to using that term for human girls...

I suggest lightly seared with a bit of rosemary. Perhaps too sophisticated for the Charr, but maybe marinade for one to two hours before in balsamic vinegar.

I wonder why they care about a character's /age not account's age.

I am just gonna leave this opinion out in the open: This is not a good idea for the game, especially after seeing where they posted it (a common PvE sub-forum) and the fact they are trying to make it less serious by saying that non-realistic organisms are the cause of the problem (really shows what type of skill-balancing they are looking for...)

If the fate of PvP balance lies in the hands of those that actually get a chuckle from Anet's sense of humor, then everyone will just f'ing leave.

If Anet were smart at all, they would post this shit in QQ forums. At least they would look like they haven't ran out of options, or a sense of seriousness.

Maybe they think it's not possible to have opinions on other classes unless you've actually played them? Even still the /age is skewed by AFK events and general AFKing that everyone has done at one point or another.

The problem is that we have a pattern of behavior here.

Free Xunlai Storage tab? Check.
New XTH? Check.
Test Krewe Application? Check.

I'll forgive once. I might even forgive twice. But three times in four months? Doesn't somebody do QA on this stuff before it goes live?

All of this stuff is comparatively simple next to implementing a game. I realize that you don't deploy your crack squad of programmers on these secondary projects, but all this is doing is contributing to the image of ANet as understaffed, mismanaged or both.

If you want us to believe that GW2 is going to be a solid product, quit approving buggy apps!

What makes everyone think this is about PvP balance? It's clear how interested they are in that from the last update. The test krewe is their unpayed QA for continuing content updates that they're probably going to try and sell us. And they'll maybe check that the skills actually work as intended but balance? pfft.
