I understand the game just hit 6 years old, but give me a break! There are much older games that don't disconnect me on a nightly basis. If you can come out with an expansion, make new powersets and make this "ultra mode", then you can make an attempt with a server(s) upgrade. Friggin ridiculous.

So over the past week I've created a fire/mm blaster that I thought would be awesome. Normally I play tanks or scrappers so the ranged killing is very different for me. The problem I'm having is trying to find the correct combo for the AoE killing portion. Currently I do concentration, aim, psychic shockwave, fireball, rince and repeat. The big issue I'm having is right before the mob is dead they lose the stun of psychic shockwave and scatter all over the map. Anyone have any tips? I'm still shy 20% recharge (and will be until I get 2 purp sets). Hints, tips, tricks are appreciated. Thanks!

I'll figure out how to actually do the mids export thing in a few hours...but this is the build I was referring to.

Is it actually a good build? I'm considering trying it out just to see if it's awesome in the game like it looks on paper. Obviously it's a little outdated based on some of the slotting...but is it still a playable build?

Hmmm...I dont know what I used to do then. Basically my taskbar would be hidden and I could tab around with none of the screen flickering stuff. Was easy for running 2 or 3 accounts at once that way. Any idea what I'm talking about?

Borderless window then?

Hello there. I've been absent for about 6 months and I've decided to come back for awhile and see how things are going. In the past I've played the game at 1600x900 desktop mode. Not windowed, but the desktop option under the screen/ui part. Since reloading the game back up I've been unable to attain any desktop mode. Only normal and windowed mode works. Any ideas as to why? I prefer desktop because the game covers my windows toolbar and I can swap back and forth easily.

Thanks!

Hi there. THis is my 3rd shield build. Currently, mid's says it should be at 66% ranged and 62% aoe defense. Now, in game this build doesnt break 62% ranged and 59% aoe.

It's really weird since my other shield has much less ranged and aoe sets yet gives me more def than the other build.

If anyone has any ideas as too why, please let me know
