Ultra Mode? or Ultra fail?

A few extra settings on the advance page. Another setting on the shader option.

Go play the game with all the pretty turned down right now. Does the game play any differently? No. Uglier or older looking? Yes. Ultra mode is all about upping the engine so if you have the horsepower, you can make the game better looking. That's it.

Now for the rest of Issue 17, we really don't know a lot. We know the GR powersets will be available to those who pre-order GR. The Epics unlock at 20 and we'll be getting other "stuff" (AE changes, emotes, QoL fixes, UI changes).

So yes, if you exclude Ultra Mode graphics update and the new powersets from GR, issue 17 does seem to be a bit light in content compared to other issues. But still it's FREE!! (argue among yourselves about "free" upgrades in a subscription based game, I know somebody is going to).
