Targeted AoE placement

Sorry for blowing up the boards... guess that's what I get for liking a TA toon.

Has anyone noticed a problem with location AoE's (specifically placing them down)? I notice that when I try to throw down oil slick, disruption arrow, Ice storm...etc. the targeting indicator shows that it's a good spot, but when I click... nothing. I have to move it around in order to find a "good location" for it to work. Now I'm not talking about having the circles standing up--I know you're out of range then. I'm talking about just having it on the floor and then click... click... click... keyboard press.... keyboard press... keyboard press... FINALLY!

Is anyone else having this issue or was my computer built on an ancient burial ground?

It's a lag issue. I used to get it all the time but my net has improved a lot lately and it is rare for me now (but still hits me during peak server load times).

I wish this were the case, I'm getting it all the time--even on off-peak hours. I will admit that it's REALLY bad on the Justice server more than the others, which is strange considering I experience it LESS on Freedom and Virtue.

I'm also having problems clicking on doors... I have to click on the floor near the door and not on the door itself. This is true with NPCs and other objects. WTF?

Any devs want to chime in here?

I have similar problems running a Lambda. When I'm on a /shield toon, and I try to use shield charge on groups near the containtment chambers, sometimes all I get is a red circle. I move and move and eventually have to use other powers because the damned thing won't cycle active. Sometimes it happens every time I try to use it, others its just occasionally, but it's bloody frustrating when you want to knock over everything in sight and you don't even move, and it's wasting build up. ¬_¬

This is why I stopped running my stone tank on lambdas. I would get stuck in a spawn and couldn't tp anywhere in order to reposition myself. Pretty sure the geometry in there is just unfriendly to tp.
