Howdy I will be sure to pass on your feedback to make it easier for you all to test content. In the meantime I wanted to pass along some other related information. In addition to the current features we have setup in your Mog House for setting and equipment, we are working towards adding commands for the below items: Setting your level Setting your skill values Warping to areas Changing movement speed Becoming invincible However, the testing volume for these commands is quite large and since it will take more time than your average update, it will be a bit before we implement them. Apologies for any inconveniences the lack of these commands may be causing, but just hang in there a bit longer. We will also be adding Retrace scrolls and reraise items to the list of items you can obtain.

I don't understand what they mean by this.

Makes two of us.

Test server only stuff. Like making it so you can run faster to get around, changing you skills and levels to make testing stuff easier.

Pretty cut and dry, they are going to make these features available on the test server.

Gives you more flexibility on what you can test.

making the game come more to life....

Will the character get winded when running long distances and decrease their movement speed?

Test Server God-Mode Go!

finally people can test ochain's block rates

Solo testing high level VW content, yay

Become invincible, i can solo everything! in RL... not even a Ironclad..

didn't you could fight ironclads in RL

Considering that of late I have not seen more than 20 people on the test server when I logged into it, making the player invincible actually makes a lot of sense in testing things without enough people to aid...

I still wish they would put an more detailed description of what they wanted tested, instead of just spit it out there and leave it completely to us.

With these additions I don't mind so much that ProjectXI shut down. Of course, I do wish they were still around. They did a terrific job for what they had done.

Let me go over each of these and let me just state what i think each means:

•Setting your level
Basically a form of level sync, without needing a level syncee. You probably can unset it in the field but, youll have to run back to the mog house to set it again.

Personally I think this would be really cool, but im still discouraged that they changed many of my favorite level 50 camps, Gargalaige Citadel bottom floor used to be a great level 50 camp.
but they change it all and replaced it with lv90+ mobs.
What i think they should change is, they should moving some of the lv90+ revamped monsters to Wings of the Goddess areas and they should consider changing back most of the revamps they did to gargalaige citadel and crawler's nest.


•Setting your skill values

I think this is put into place to help you skill up defensive skills.
Such as if i wanted to skill up parrying on thief this would be just about impossible. but if i can set my evasion skill to 0, and still be lv95 then i could possibly see more skill ups in this fashion.
allthough I have no idea why they would ever apply it to combat skills.

Interesting, allthough I'd prefer better content over this. Theres always gear with negitive evasion if i really wanted to lower it. anyways

•Warping to areas
Im assuming there going to let us outpost warp from a moogle.
in any case that'd be cool.

•Changing movement speed
more the likely it will be an effect that'll last until you you get hit or cast a spell. Probably wont work in certain areas and abyssea either.

•Becoming Invincible
lost me on this one, i could say a new atma abyssite for Void watch, but really no idea

On another note since there making teleportation easier
why dont they give white mages Teleport-Olduum (to teleport to Bhalfu Thickets), look up the Olduum ring there is a teleport point to there in aht Urghan so dont you think white mages should be able to tele there?

Zart, you do realize this is all for making testing on the test server easier and is not going to be implemented on the actual servers.

Oh zart :(

HIT AND A MISS...


TEST

Oh yeah now that i'm done with that, do you have to be paying for xi to do test server ***?

Would be interesting if I could just go on test server to test things out without having to pay :x

Yea, you gotta be paying. They want you under the SE account system and everything.

i know it's offtopic but i seriously laughed so hard from this post.
thanks man.

to topic: so the test server is going to be "more" testy; sounds good.
