Regarding the FINAL FANTASY XI Test Server (08/26/2011)

[Gokulo]

He mentioned it later - the game screen only took the upper left part, rest of the window was black.

[Herzins]

Awesome, thanks!

[Ophannus]

How do I change billing method to Crysta? I was told I need to have enough Crysta in my account to pay for 1 month's subscription then the option will appear in Change/Update Billing Method? Is this so? I have 1500 Crysta($15) and it still doesn't appear. Not sure how to switch over to using crysta instead of click&buy. And is it possible to have it reoccuring or do I need to manually add Crysta every month?

[Gokulo]

No option to set reoccurring yet, will be added later, need to load Crysta manually at the moment.

[Ophannus]

Where do I change billing method to use Crysta? Right now only Click&Buy is showing up when I unregister and then click register billing method

[Kaisha]

The payment via Crysta itself can be reoccurring, but you have to pre-load the account with the Crysta itself. No idea on how to reset payment type though, I only went crysta from the get go.

[Outlaw]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Didn't read any update details over the weekend then this happens. I kinda want to try it but I'm not sure. I skimmed over the thread but have a couple questions.. if someone can help me out.

Do you have to have all the expansions and add ons installed AND have finished them all?

You need to be using Crysta as the payment method to be able to use test server right?

Does it cost extra?

[Gokulo]

Just need to have the expansions registered afaik, no need to have them completed ^^;

[SephYuyX]

Score. Got in with my name.
Also.. my moogles arent named TEST GM, etc, theyre 1, 2, 3.
Does nyone get a "expansions havent been installed" error?

I think probably because I did a file check before I installed SE downloads..
Redoing a file check.

[cosworthrs]

I saw recast and dmg from comet, real question is what element and if dark or elemental type dmg!!!

[Mairja]

You don't need to be using Crysta, no. I use Click&Buy and got accepted np.

[Gwynplaine]

Some of you fuckers need to take the initiative to read the info first-hand yourself first, instead of just asking questions blindly into the void.

Well the problem is, when you are recapped at 95, you are capped on skill too. So unless you get a skillup, its hard to know. It doesn't work with Manifestation but I'd be amazed if it ever did, even if it was dark skill. Someone needs to actually ding 95 or w/e the level is for it and have some room for skillups.

[SephYuyX]

Real basic comet testing

Affected by INT (+10 int went from 1582 to 1614)
Affected by MAB (+7 mab went from 1582 to 1661)
Affected by Pluto's Staff (1582 to 1827)

I tried Wizard and Sorc gloves for shits and giggles, but they didnt do anything.
My skill is capped, so cant really determine if it's dark or ele easily. Dont really feel like killing 100 mobs with two different skills sets and checkings resists atm.

[Khiinroye]

From the official forums, there's a bug with setting skills, which led to comet giving elemental skillups.

[Miroku_Asura]

Anyone else not have a Config option for adjusting graphics and the like? its looking like it never installed for me :/

[Gwynplaine]

This sounds like a lot of work. I don't think I want to do a lot of work.
On the other hand it might be the only chance I get to do Voidwalkers because my ls will never do all of them.
