Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

Insect Wings and Body Parts

Its been a long time since my last visit. My last visit was in february, thats already 10 months back!

I created a thread about insect heroes and so i created a new one to hear if there are some new informations about it.

Simple question: Will the game feature insect wings right at the start of the Alpha/Beta ? Wath insect parts will follow?

Will the insect wings actually flap when flying? Will they be realistic, like not flapping while walking and still attached to the body, like not disappearing while not in fly mode (or however the fly system will work).

i am also currently in search of insect superheroes other then "The Wasp" or the other known super heroes. If someone has info about such heroes, post a link here! It can be a fan made hero too!

Greetings from Berlin, Germany!

How About this guy?

How About this guy?

His name is Sting
He appears in my book Knights of Saint George
http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse/pub/3185/Crusader-Game-Books

Clemente' Jimenez was turned into a Bee Man by Queen Bee, but for some reason it effected him differently than other people. He became much more powerful than other Bee Men, his powers are permanent and he's not under her control. In addition he has poison stingers growing from his hands.

The book also tells about Queen Bee, her Bee Men and another Super Villain named Swarm.

This is such a slowly moving

This is such a slowly moving forum (for the moment) that you don't need to bump things pretty much at all, Kaiser.

AS far as insect-like costume pieces go, I vary much doubt they'd leave those out. There's a lot of creative things you can do with them.

An infinite number of tries doesn't mean that any one of those tries will succeed. I could flip an infinite number of pennies an infinite number of times and, barring genuine randomness, they will never come up "Waffles".

Here's another one from "The Knights of Saint George", Lady Bug

Lily Prince is a legacy. She's the daughter of 2 famous heroes, Prince Gallant and Fairy Princess (both now retired from crime fighting and doing Charity work only) In keeping what she sees as her family tradition, she took on the mantle of the superhero as soon as her powers developed, and kept this a secret even from her parents. Lily thinks it's fun being a superhero, and often taunts her opponents.
My little girl made this character. She made up the background story and designed the costume. The long gloves and boots are supposed to look like bug legs, and the spots, on the front, are also on the back.
After Lily made Lady Bug she decided to use a different character. So Lady Bug has never been used in the game.

While i also hope they have

While i also hope they have insect derived costume parts, i do hope they are able to have something of a spectrum. What i mean is, in CoH, there was for example a reptile head that was quite detailed- but so detailed it was pretty much just a reptile head. Not much you can do other than have a reptile headed character. Whereas there was also the Chitin head option, which looked more like a humanoid face. Slap some antennae on there and you were convincingly a bug but had some leeway: it wasn't any specific bug's head, but buggy enough- though in other cases it could be an armored helmet, or an angry face, etc. I would not like to have to change my character concepts because the costumes sort of pidgeon hole me into looking like a housefly. (the chitin head, devs, that's where the money's at.) Wouldn't mind a torso that's modeled on a bulky carapace either, if you have the time.

Anyway, since this is a suggestion forum, i might as well offer up a niche idea of my own:
Beetle wings. Essentially insect wings, but with an elytra present (the stiff "shell" that protects the wings when they are not in use.) So essentially when the PC is not flying/jumping your back has a nice little hard shell to protect your wings, and then during flight they pop out and let the wings go. That way tough, tanky roach juggernauts can have wings they know they won't break in combat. Can't expect me to smash through McArchvillain's lair with a pair o' dinky tinkerbell wings strapped to me. I'm not trick or treating.

BONUS COOLNESS: one texture that looks like something you'd see on a beetle (tough chitinous look,) and another that's ladybug style. For those with finer tastes than I. Ladybug wings. People have to want that.

Also please keep the insect icons coh had, at least the cockroach one. You probably see a theme here.

Back in my day, taunt only affected one target. We had to take provoke, and we liked it
