At the moment, I would NOT suggest you try to get into the test server, as there seem to be some big problems with the update servers that are giving people fits when they try to patch up their test server installation to the most recent patch. Once these are fixed, though, follow the instructions in this thread:

Actually, according to Avatea's Post, those problems should be resolved.
Well, except for the issues Mac Client users are having.

Correct. Those two powers are supposed to be using Melee_Damage instead of Ranged_Damage, but that change did not take place. Fixed today, get tossed into a build Soon(tm) and reaches you guys shortly thereafter.

So... if we have Ranged already slotted... when this goes live.. are we going to be forced to use melee instead?...
Nonono, you will still be able to use whatever enhancements you already have in those powers. Psi scream will still take targeted AoE sets (I think that's what it takes now), and psi shockwave will still take PBAoE sets. It's just the powers will calculate their damage off of the dominator's 1.05 melee damage modifier, rather than the 0.95 ranged damage modifier. The only effect you should observe is both powers jumping slightly in damage. You won't have to change your slotted enhancement types.

Not at all. All it means is that the powers on test are currently using a lower damage modifier than intended. Nothing else will change.

I know not how to enter the Test Server.
