[size=30]Overall Design Intent and Development Schedule[/size]

From [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans]Kickstarter[/url]: “Missing Worlds Media presents City of Titans, the superhero MMORPG being developed by The Phoenix Project in the spirit of City of Heroes. Our goal is to deliver a unique massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, created from the community of a lost universe, to build a new community for a new world.“
[list][*][url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/616095]“Innovative, player-focused and community-involved.”[/url][/list]
[br]
“One of the fundamental understandings of designing this MMO is that there are [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/73850#comment-73850]multiple ‘games’ players play within the game[/url]. […] We want to make a game where all those types of play or games within the game are all availabile.”
[br]
The [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans]Kickstarter[/url] in 2013 raised $678,189 from 5003 backers compared to a $320,000 goal. The following [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/627448]stretch goals[/url] were reached:
[list][*]Add the Android port of the Avatar Builder.
[*]Add the iOS port of the Avatar Builder.
[*]MacOS version of the game at launch.
[*]Additional auras, travel powers (swinging, acrobatic leaping, sky surfing with several mount options), emotes (e.g. CueZach Boombox.)
[*]4 distinct wing sets and 2 additional cape styles with more cape textures.
[*]5 primary power sets per classification.
[*]Two new costume sets and an additional zone at launch (bringing the total to 13.)[/list]
[br]
[b][color=red]UPDATE[/color][/b] [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1983086]Second Chance Fundraiser[/url]. Initially planned for end of 2017, but there was an [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129345#comment-129345]unspecified delay[/url] on the Fundraiser, unrelated to the game proper. Now planned for [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/136431#comment-136431]after the character generator is integrated[/url].
[list][*]Will not include add-ons or last two tiers of rewards from original Kickstarter. [*]Limited tiers retain previous stated limits.
[*]Also [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/127166#comment-127166]will not include stretch goals[/url].
[*]Goal to raise funds to hire additional developers and/or hire volunteers as full-time staff.[/list]
[br]
[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1752711]Release[/url] is planned for fall 2018. “This is the point we are confident that there would be no more need for character database wipes, that balancing would be ready, and the game is in a playable, even if not yet bug-free, state.”
[br]
Game will have an [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1906718]up-front cost[/url] which provides access to all content, systems and features and also includes 3 months of VIP status. Afterwards the game will be free to play with a cash shop. An optional subscription provides credit in the cash shop at a higher value and earlier access to material than free-to-play players.
[list][*]Currency is nicknamed Stars.
[*]There will be loyalty tokens for those who stay subscribed.
[*]In-game store items can be unlocked for a single character through gameplay.
[*]Each time a character reaches maximum level, you unlock a character slot.
[*]There will be no lockboxes. Bundles of related unlocks can be bought and will include random extra pieces from somewhere else in the game.
[*]If you unlock an item through the cash shop, you will [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmsNThG5JAE&feature=youtu.be#t=32m18s]not receive the associated badge[/url].[/list]
[br]
City of Titans uses the [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/783054]Unreal 4[/url] Engine. It was one of the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57L8-52BBo8&list=PLPw9VrftmxbuAEawABgY6k2TLQlTJBW3n&index=16#t=1m33s]first adopters[/url] and uses a customized engine.
[list][*]The switch from Unreal 3 to Unreal 4 [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/81287#comment-81287]resulted in delays[/url].[/list]
[br]
On [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/82984#comment-82984]system requirements[/url]: “Unreal is very, very, very good about low-end performance.”
[br]
There is a [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/616095]plan in place[/url] to continue access to the game in some fashion if MWM has to shut it down.
[br]
[b][color=red]UPDATE[/color][/b] All characters will reside in the same [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/626654]server space[/url]. There will still be different [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/136554#comment-136554]shards[/url] that characters exist on at any given time, but players can move their characters between them.
[br]
The plan is to allow [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/155886860?t=42m53s]characters to be created offline[/url] in some fashion.
[br]
Systems of the game are being [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1598257]developed separately[/url] (e.g. quest system, animations, combat) and will be [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57L8-52BBo8&list=PLPw9VrftmxbuAEawABgY6k2TLQlTJBW3n&index=16#t=2m6s]integrated for Pre-alpha[/url].
[br]
The game has a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/100038#comment-100038]targeted rating[/url] of “T for Teen.”
[br]
There will be a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/116760#comment-116760]profanity filter[/url], which can be turned off.
[br]
The game has been [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1348559]designed to be accessible[/url] for those with [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/101499#comment-101499]potential gaming barriers[/url] e.g. colour-blindness. This also includes a “completely customizable control schema.”
[br]
“Everything we are introducing in game can be [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1140138]colored or textured[/url] as we choose, independent of their shape or design.”
[br]
[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1215736]“Cassandra”[/url]–a piece of technology developed by MWM, designed to draw a character with a single draw call. This minimizes the workload for the video card, allowing more characters to be onscreen.
[br]
“Part of the design is to create [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/116977#comment-116977]player activity hubs[/url] where selling, crafting, and other things occur to provide that common place people can meet up. Of course, even better is when players naturally congregate at a location of their own choosing. There is a bit that goes into the map design by the devs which can encourage such locales, but it is the players that really make it work out.”

[size=30]Character Creation and Advancement – Mechanics[/size]

The [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/95166#comment-95166]level cap[/url] will initially be 30 and will increase to 50 at some time after launch.
[br]
[url=https://cityoftitans.com/archetype]Archetypes[/url]. Characters [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/625583]choose an Archetype and Specification[/url], which determines the [url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/how-it-works-powerset-design]Basic Playstyle[/url] (also see Powers and Power Sets below) of the Primary and Secondary sets from which they select powers, respectively. The following Archetypes and Specifications are planned: (Those marked * are not expected for launch. You can see the most recent posting of the archetype chart [url=https://cityoftitans.com/forum/updated-classification-and-specification-chart]here[/url].)
[list][*]Stalwart (Protection). Specifications: Bulwark (/Melee Damage), Centurion* (/Manipulation), Bastion* (/Assault)
[*]Enforcer (Melee Damage). Specifications: Gladiator (/Protection), Striker* (/Manipulation), Bodyguard* (/Support).
[*]Guardian (Support). Specifications: Sentinel (/Ranged Damage), Warden* (/Manipulation), Vindicator* (/Assault).
[*]Ranger (Ranged Damage). Specifications: Partisan (/Support), Hunter* (/Manipulation), Gunner* (/Protection).
[*]Commander* (Pets). Specifications: Engineer* (/Support), Ringleader* (/Manipulation), Taskmaster* (/Assault).
[*]Operator (Control). Specifications: Brigadier* (/Assault), Director (/Support), Executor* (/Ranged Damage).
[*]Writer’s Note: These names have visibly changed over time, including the [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/121327#comment-121327]switching of Commander and Operator[/url] in direct response to player feedback, as well as the choice to [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129788#comment-129788]eliminate the term Classification[/url]. I have assigned names according to the best information I could find.[/list]
[br]
[url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/how-it-works-powerset-design]Powers and Power Sets[/url]. Primary and Secondary power sets have a Basic Playstyle (Melee, Ranged, Control, Support, Protection, Summons). At creation, characters select from a list appropriate to the Basic Playstyle as determined by their Archetype and Specification (see above). These power sets consist of 9 tiers. [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129866#comment-129866]Tiers 3 and 7 have two powers available[/url] (of which you can only ever select one), while the other tiers have one power. These tiers unlock at certain levels (with [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129944#comment-129944]Secondary set tiers being less effective than Primary set tiers and opening later[/url]) and become available to characters when choosing new powers. In addition to their free starter powers, characters will receive [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130113#comment-130113]23 additional power slots[/url] by level 50. This is enough to potentially have a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130094#comment-130094]power from every tier of your Primary, every tier of your Secondary, and a full Tertiary set[/url] (see below for Tertiaries).
[list][*]The launch list of power sets is as follows (note each link leads to a description of these sets, including two sample powers per set):
[list][*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/protection-sets]Protection[/url]: Atrophic Aura, Super Agility, Invulnerability, Solid Form,
Grit.
[*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/melee-sets]Melee[/url]: Super Strength, Tactical Combat, Massive Melee, Kinetic Melee, Fighting Prowess.
[*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/ranged-sets]Ranged[/url]: Force Blast, Atrophic Blast, Lethality, Psychic Blast, Vampiric Blast.
[*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/support-sets]Support[/url]: Preservation, Strategy, Devices, Barrier Generation, Vampiric Emanation.
[*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/control-sets]Control[/url]: Gravity, Psychic Control, Power Control, Illusions, Force Control.[/list]
[*]From a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/how-it-works-powerset-design]development standpoint[/url] (i.e. these choices are made in the [i]design[/i] of the set, not by the player), in addition to their Basic Playstyle, these sets are built with one of four Focused Playstyles per Basic Playstyle (e.g. single target focused, utility focused), a mechanical theme (e.g. damage over time or combining attacks for combo effects) and a speed (quick, medium, slow). (In an earlier update this was previously described as power sets being [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/645893]built according to progressions[/url].) “The end result is, [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/118197#comment-118197]no two sets under the same basic play style such as Melee, or Support, and so on, plays exactly the same way as any other set[/url].” The [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/134271#comment-134271]launch list of Focused Playstyles[/url] is:
[list][*]Melee/Ranged: Single Target Focused, AoE Focused, Standard, Utility Focused.
[*]Protection: Fortitude Protections, Style Protections, Recover Protections, Aura Protections.
[*]Support: Buff Focused, Debuff Focused, Standard, Location.
[*]Control: Single Target Damage Focused, PBAoE Focused, Location Focused, Utility Focused.[/list]
[*]Sets with other Basic Playstyles will be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/how-it-works-powerset-design]developed in the future[/url]: Assault (ranged and melee), Manipulation (control and support), Pets.
[*]Characters may also select powers from [url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/how-it-works-powerset-design]Tertiary[/url] sets ([url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130167#comment-130167]accessing up to 5 sets[/url]). These are more basic, truncated versions of Secondary sets, or something unique such as Super Senses (which is [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129980#comment-129980]not planned for launch[/url]). All Archetypes have access to all Tertiaries (though this may change.) There are [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129860#comment-129860]balance concerns[/url] with basing Tertiaries on Pet or Control sets, though it has been said control-heavy Tertiaries will be formed from Manipulation sets.
[*]Characters receive a [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1870792]free melee attack and a free ranged attack[/url]. The [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130830#comment-130830]damage type[/url] is matched to your attack set, though they do not inherit any other mechanics.
[*]All launch Control sets have a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129736#comment-129736]pet at tier 9[/url]. This [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129728#comment-129728] may not be true for all future Control sets[/url]. Note that due to the lower level cap, these powers will [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/129747#comment-129747]not be accessible at launch[/url].
[*]“There will be certain powers which [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/116147#comment-116147]grant new abilities[/url] to a group member.”[/list]
[br]
Travel Powers. Characters receive travel powers which do not depend on character level, the first being [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/93979#comment-93979]free[/url] at character creation. They will receive a total of [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130113#comment-130113]4 optional travel[/url] slots by level 50.
[list][*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/99430#comment-99430]Parkour, Swing, Grapnel, Spider Climb, Flight, Superjump, Superspeed and Teleport[/url] have all been said to be [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1377375]works in progress[/url].
[*][url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/150770928?t=1h11m37s]Travel powers will have their own growth path[/url]. For example, one of the options for Super Speed is to run up the side of buildings. This is really an example of “mixing and matching” travel powers, in this case [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/161029034?t=41m30s]Super Speed and Wall Crawling[/url]. Another example is [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/161029034?t=37m46s]Super Speed with Super Leap[/url].
[*]There will be no combat powers mixed in with travel powers. They are on a [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/150770928?t=1h12m34s]completely independent track[/url].
[*]Plan to eventually include [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/152406075?t=1h14m45s]rideable vehicles[/url], but not for launch.[/list]
[br]
[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/858157]Masteries[/url]. A means of further defining your character by selecting inherent abilities. There are 5 designed per Archetype, with 3 intended for launch. Characters get a total of [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130113#comment-130113]3 Mastery Slots[/url] by level 50. Each Mastery has 3 tiers; you can take all 3 from a Mastery or mix and match. [b][color=red]UPDATE[/color][/b] Masteries are penciled in for [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/136467#comment-136467]selection[/url] at levels 5, 15 and 25.
[list][*]Stalwart Masteries:
[list] [*]Living Target: You are best at drawing your enemy's attention away from allies.
[*]Bruiser: Your attacks help debilitate foes over time.
[*]Battle Leader: When your allies focus on you, their attention improves your ability to defend them.
[*]Ruggedness: You can shrug off more damage.
[*]Protector: Your team strengthens your resolve.[/list]
[*]Enforcer Masteries:
[list] [*]Rage: The more you fight, the stronger you get.
[*]Surprise Strike: You gain bonuses for attacks against unsuspecting targets.
[*]Inspiration: Your allies are rallied with each foe it defeats.
[*]Predation: You are the single-target master, gaining bonuses the longer you fight the same enemy.
[*]Reinforcement: You have a winning presence for your allies. [/list]
[*]Ranger Masteries:
[list] [*]Eliminator: You can quickly eliminate weakened opponents from the fight.
[*]Resolve: Each success in a fight gives you bonuses.
[*]Suppression: Your attacks hinders the enemy’s ability to fight back.
[*]Striker: Ranged attacks, particularly snipes, are your specialty.
[*]Bombardment: You can front-load attacks for damage. [/list]
[*]Guardian Masteries:
[list] [*]Saving Grace: The more your allies need your help, the stronger your help becomes.
[*]Aftermath: Your effects can quickly stack and spread.
[*]Balance: You grant bonuses to your team with your presence.
[*]Sentry: You gain bonuses as you or your team has the tide turn against you.
[*]Vindication: You and your team gain bonuses against more difficult enemies. [/list]

[list] [*]Magnitude: Improves the Operator’s ability to land critical controls.
[*]Oppression: Foes which are locked down take more damage.
[*]Focus: Attacks by allies on controlled targets gain bonuses.
[*]Restrainment: Your controls gain effectiveness as your target's health is lowered.

[br]
[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/959841]Augments and Refinements[/url]. Analogous to [url=https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Enhancements]enhancements[/url] in City of Heroes. Powers receive Augment Slots, potentially increasing up to 4 as you level. Augments improve the effect of the power (e.g. damage). When you slot an Augment, it also opens a varying number of Refinement slots, which affect how the power is delivered (e.g. accuracy).
[list][*]Each power includes [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130113#comment-130113]one Augment Slot by default[/url].
[*]A [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130192#comment-130192]regular Augment will not include any Refinement Slots, while crafted Augments have from 1 to 3 Refinement Slots[/url].
[*]Augments/Refinements [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/69760#comment-69760]reduce in power[/url] as you level. “The decline will be sharper at first, and then gradually level off, at least that’s the current thought.”
[*]Power Set Augments are a special kind of Augment Slot that can be applied to an entire power set. As an example, it can change a portion of its damage to another type. Power Set Augments in Tertiary power sets can give you “weird things” such as a static bonus to regen. Your Primary and Secondary power set each receive a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130113#comment-130113]Power Set Augment Socket[/url]. Tertiary sets instead carry [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130167#comment-130167]Global Augment Sockets[/url], the Augments for which apply a bonus to the entire character.
[*]On the [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/69821#comment-69821]temptation to only slot certain things[/url] for power set augments: “We have other steps in-place to reduce this. […] These steps also make something like the GDN and ED unneeded.” (Referring to [url=https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Global_Defense_Nerf]Global Defense Nerf[/url] and [url=https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Enhancement_Diversification]Enhancement Diversification[/url] from City of Heroes, major changes to the way defensive powers and stacking enhancements worked.)
[*]Eventually there will be Augment sets that can be crafted. However, there will only be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130071#comment-130071]basic crafting at launch[/url].[/list]
[br]
[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/629385]Alignments[/url] work on a 3-axis system: Law, Violence and Honor. They are not binary; characters exist on each of these 3 scales.
[list][*][url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1488828]12 alignments[/url] have been identified by name: Law-abiding, law-breaking, merciful, violent, honorable, dishonorable, heroic, villainous, scoundrel, rogue, weird, mundane.
[*]“Alignment is [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/104335#comment-104335]what people think you do[/url], in public. It is, in some ways, your reputation with the world as a whole - while factions are about people getting to know the inner you a little better. Alignments change based on what people see you do - that's because they affect how people react to your character. If a cop sees you kicking the head in of a surrendered crook, you're going to see changes to how people react - your Violent rating goes up.” There is some further explanation [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/157446809?t=50m21s]here[/url]. “It’s the truest to comics that we could make it.”
[*]“[url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/125535#comment-125535]Hero and Villain are labels players use[/url]. They are descriptive – not prescriptive and do not drive game play. The alignment system is based on a tri-axis of Law, Honor, and Violence. You can have a lawful, honorable, violent hero or a lawful, honorable, violent villain. Players do not read alignments of other players. It is up to you - the player to decide the reasoning for how and why your character behaves, and how and why other characters are behaving the way they do.” “As such, [the alignment system] isn't used to enforce a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/124322#comment-124322]player-faction segregation system[/url].”[/list]
[br]
Build slots and respecs.
[list][*]“At certain points in your character's progression, you will [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/118052#comment-118052]earn separate build slots[/url]. These build slots must be the same Primary, but can use a different Secondary Set, Mastery Powers, and Tertiary Powers. There will be a limit on how quickly you can swap builds.” Characters end up with [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/130113#comment-130113]2 optional alternate builds[/url].
[*] “Look at [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/118156#comment-118156]what you’re keeping[/url]. Your primary. Your job […] –and it looks like we’ll have a variant of each secondary power set for each Specialization—so you’re keeping that too.”
[*][url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/70321#comment-70321]Respecs[/url] appear to have the same options: you may not change your primary, but can change secondary, augment slots etc.[/list]
[br]
Characters will [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/889419]not need to go to a trainer[/url] to level up.
[br]
“We aren’t including an [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/118394#comment-118394]origins or strengths/weakness[/url] system for CoT.”

“Our motto has always been ‘[url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/118156#comment-118156]The endgame is alting.[/url]’” “City of Titans will be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/forum/questions-and-answers-march-and-april]alt-centric[/url].”

[size=30]Story Arcs and Mission Content[/size]

There are various kinds of [url=https://cityoftitans.com/content/making-content-episodes-tips-and-more]mission content[/url].
[list][*]Terminology: An Episode is a mission. A Series is a string of Episodes telling a connected story. A Saga is multiple, successive arcs with recurring plot elements.
[list][*]Tips: short, self-contained, one-off adventures. “While Tips aren’t designed to require any special knowledge of the game’s lore, lore-focused players will still find them interesting.” Tips will be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/134743#comment-134743]repeatable[/url].
[*]Paths: game-spanning Sagas with elaborate stories that let you explore and define your character while meeting and battling a variety of highly detailed NPCs. [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/630570]Paths are personal stories[/url] that you can go through, such as Street Hero, Ganglord or Adventurer. “We [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57L8-52BBo8&list=PLPw9VrftmxbuAEawABgY6k2TLQlTJBW3n&index=16#t=4m15s]don’t have one big mega-plot[/url]. Instead we have story arcs […] that go from 0 all the way to 50. And you can flip between them as you progress.” There will be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/95763#comment-95763]four paths available at launch[/url]: Hero North, Villain North, Hero South, Villain South.
[*]District Stories: Series that focus on the lore related to a particular part of the city and usually featuring prominent NPCs, special gameplay mechanics, or both.[/list]
[*]There are plans for a [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/134755#comment-134755]journal system[/url] which tracks what players have done. It is not yet determined if it will be included at launch. [/list]
[br]
Many missions will be in [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/618310]instances[/url]. Instances should each have a distinctive feel and may have multiple entrances. There is an explanation/example of multiple entrances [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/152406075?t=46m34s]here[/url].
[list][*][url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/634825]Maps[/url] may be procedurally generated to have an element of randomness. They should have a realistic, practical layout, and may include environmental effects and dynamic elements.
[*]Missions are [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1567795]run off a spreadsheet[/url]. Designed to make mission writing easier and as preparation for a future player-facing mission writer tool. There were [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/1302609]four goals[/url] for the mission creation system:
[list][*]Flexible. No separate systems for different kinds of missions.
[*]Able to import data from an external tool.
[*]Same core system for both developer-created and player-created missions.
[*]Can be used for both open world and instanced content.[/list]
[*]The [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/81311#comment-81311]map builder system[/url] is also being designed so that it can later be used by players to create content.
[*]There may be [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/642943]missions that branch[/url] depending on decisions made by the character(s) within the mission itself, or based on whether the character succeeds or fails at certain tasks. These choices can also influence your standing with various factions in the game, affecting later content. [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/106704#comment-106704]When teaming[/url], “if you’re in the same mission together […] then you’re on one course together.” “[url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/120767#comment-120767]There are lots [i]and lots[/i] of choice, both through dialogue and action[/url].”
[*]There are [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/636850]ideas for missions[/url] that do not match the City of Heroes groups-of-enemies-followed-by-boss style, such as a single enemy, having to save/destroy evidence, or being escorted by a powerful NPC.
[*]Some significant missions will end with [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/162768297?t=21m8s]newspaper headlines, radio broadcasts[/url] etc. to commemorate the event.
[*]Techniques are being used to allow you see the outside world from within instances. See examples from a [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/150770928?t=4m30s]rooftop[/url] and through a [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/150770928?t=55m45s]window[/url].

[url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/162768297?t=12m18s]The tutorial mission[/url]: Set in TitanFirst bank in the aftermath of a heist. Witnesses describe the event, giving players an opportunity to describe their character’s appearance, powers, role and choices in the heist (alignment). The tutorial will also teach you how to use reserves and enhancements. You finally select your travel power by determining how you exit the bank. At the end a newspaper headline will describe what happened.

[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/650323]The Leads System[/url]: A Lead will consist of one element of a Story, such as a Setting, Antagonist or Objective. Leads can be acquired through normal gameplay (or other activities such as emotes or logging off in certain locations) and then “assembled” to create a custom mission. This will be similar to [url=https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Rogue_Isle_Protector]newspaper[/url]/[url=https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Police_Radio]police radio[/url] missions in City of Heroes. However, mission crafting is [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/107840#comment-107840]not expected for launch[/url]. Leads can also be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/84601#comment-84601]connected to your story path or lead to something else[/url].
[br]
The intent is for player characters to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmsNThG5JAE&feature=youtu.be#t=9m10s]surpass the ability[/url] of important NPCs such as the Paragons.

“At launch, we intend to have [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/118274#comment-118274]endgame raids[/url]—we call them social raids, and they’re more like classic [url=https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Hamidon_Raid]Hamidon[/url] than anything else.” Raids are “set to mostly involve [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans/posts/630570]sunken space cities from the distant past[/url], but that could change.”

Curses! :) By inaccuracies, you mean there were some clever red herrings along the way, or I just fouled up (which was bound to happen in here, as I went through a lot of stuff)?

Minor correction to the Second Chance section:

Goal to raise funds to hire additional developers and/or hire volunteers as full-time staff.
There might be a better way to phrase that, but the point is that there are more options on the table beyond just converting current volunteer staff to paid positions.
Also, I know we haven't been careful, but we probably shouldn't refer to the Second Chance using the term "kickstarter" because we're not getting Kickstarter to run it.

Updated the goals as you suggested, and changed the entry to read 'fundraiser' instead of 'kickstarter.'

Edit: Also, it appears I've been anointed both the owner of Amerikatt and a minion of Amerikatt...and in my experience owning a cat and being its minion is the same thing, so that makes sense.

I suppose it's possible this could be a foundation to evolve into a wiki sometime, and that in the meantime the idea was to serve as an unofficial guide to player-facing information. Just see how it goes I guess.

In terms of immediate next steps, there are still some topics I want to search for information on, and some sources I haven't used yet such as most of the Twitch streams (I only used the odd source there so far because I could remember pretty well what I was looking for and where to find it.) I recall hearing that streams roll off after 3 months unless they are archived though; do we know if those will remain available indefinitely? I'd prefer not to cite things that will be gone soon. And then of course there is anything new coming out this week, like the new power set launch list or if there's a KS update or Twitch stream. So I think I will go through another round of stuff and post Version 2 when ready.

Version 2 of the document is now up. Quite a lot of new stuff went in.

Had some time the last couple of days and finished work on version 3, which has now been posted. One of the things I did was to take another look at the PvP thread for discussion on alignment, and I agree that the description of "hero" and "villain" as concepts that may exist in the player's mind but don't actually exist as a factor in segregating players is important, so I've included that in the appropriate place. My thanks to Planet10 for directing my attention there.

My pleasure. I'm glad you find it valuable, and hope you enjoy all the info about the game!

*poke* *poke* is it still alive?

So, as I'm sure has been noticed, the compilation hasn't been updated since January, and I haven't posted at all in a long time.

In part this was due to a busy work schedule for periods of time, but primarily it's because I've been dealing with a challenging medical problem throughout the year. While I anticipated staying involved with the PR team and keeping the compilation up to date, this unfortunately has not been possible for me due to the demands on my time and energy and the unpredictability of my condition on a day-to-day basis. I'm sorry I wasn't able to continue to contribute, but perhaps that will change in the future and there will be a place for me to volunteer within MWM again.

I'm still looking forward to the opportunity to play City of Titans as much as ever and hope to see everyone in the game before too long!
