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.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

Here, let me show you how a perception system works, how you can make a nice indicator for it in active use, responses, etc (stock, came with Unreal, but demonstrates the general idea):

That looks great for a single-player FPS, but I'm having a hard time seeing how this would work well in an MMO, especially when teamed.

Was showing it for an example only, being that it was handy.

I'm not sure yet whether this new take on it will be more or less fun, but I'll reserve judgment till I learn more. It may be one of those things where one can't really know till one gets to try it for oneself.

I agree. Personally, I think this could make the stealth gameplay in both PvE and PVP much MUCH more interesting than the system in CoH, but I look forward to more info and/or hands on experience.

The thing is, if it doesn't work out, we still can fall back to the older approach because the mechanics are compatible.

I kind of like the concept

I kind of like the concept that there are different types of stealth and different types of detection. It seems more realistic that someone might have sacrificed combat skill because they've specialized (or even over-specialized) in being sneaky or the ability to detect. Or maybe even the simple exchange, in game terms, of an attack for something else more utilitarian. For example, Iron Man may have used that space in his armor for a mini-missile launcher but instead he put in an infrasound module (detection). Or instead of a One-Off attack in his gauntlet, he put in a light-modulator to camouflage himself (stealth).
Conversely, it shouldn't go too far down the rabbit hole where it becomes burdensome in it's implementation and clunky in it's usability.

Yes, but it isn't binary in effect either.

Yep, I understood that it was just an example, but I couldn't see anything in there that didn't seem more applicable to an FPS than an MMO. Was did you intend the example to illustrate that was relevant for CoT?

Considering that Unreal Engine was originally made for FPS, I suppose that would be natural.

However, I see nothing in that video that would not be appropriate for an MMO. Or are you merely commenting that the video was not taken in 3rd person view?

In fact, check out this video from The Secret World. It is also an MMORPG.

[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.
