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.

Remember tenebrous tentacles?

Remember tenebrous tentacles? I'd like some animations like that for any control set. Maybe even expand them for tentacles that strike.

If possible, maybe we could make them smart and actually wrap around feet and hands :)

Pegasus skin for flight! Leap

Pegasus skin for flight! Leap up as a flying horse swoops under you ready to carry you into the sky! Great for magic users, Valkyries, and lovers of horses and things that fly and that one specific thing that's between the two!

Would be a pain in the butt for people who rez though... much harder to find a body to target once that body's been digitized and then thrown into space.

Awesome images. I hope this becomes a thing. Even if it is a cash shop item.


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.

I like the glider idea. One thing I never liked about the sky sled that the old game had was that you couldn't buy new/different color paintjob skins for it. As far as I know it was always that red and white stripe paintjob and nothing else. That did not match my purple and green theme at all.

Yeah even having just the ability to change the main "primary/secondary" colors on things like the Rocket Board would be great assuming that full customization was not possible.

OMG, you just gave me the greatest idea. Its probably not original, since single-person shooters and NASCAR games and even other MMO have had this feature before, but in this game it would be PERFECT fit for the reason you just stated..

The idea:
Have a cash shop called the custom body shop, or something like that. You go to the shop and you get to customize your props, vehicles or other non-costume items with decals and paint jobs. It suppose it could just be a tab in the in-game costume shop, but I would personally like to see it as its own physical location in Titan City. (or several locations, each with its own options)
Other MMO that have this sort of customization are:

Shoot those are the only MMO I could find customizable vehicles, mounts and pets.

Will we even have non-costume props, vehicles or pets in CoT?

Shoot those are the only MMO I could find customizable vehicles, mounts and pets.

There's a whole Classification/specification that's going to come out after launch based around customizable pets called the commander, vehicles are going to be at launch, atleast I think, but it's going to be limited to things that you stand on rather than sit down on. Gliders and magic carpets over motorcycles and giant floaty chairs. "Mounts" will be an aesthetic skin for travel powers same as vehicles. Later on I think operators can get their own pets aswell, but in the shape of like a wall that blocks your path, though there may be more once we get more levels. If the devices power for support is anything like traps there would be pets their too but of the static variety, you won't be able to command them and they would be more like a patch of caltrops or a thing that floats over your shoulder or a specific place and gives you and allies in that zone or around you a buff or enemies a debuff. This game isn't really going to be like WoW. It doesn't really call for things like mounts as how someone like a guy who plays WoW or Wildstar would know them. If anything it would be more like skimming from DCUO, a power that is for all purposes is another power you can already get but looks differently.

Unless you're talking about

Unless you're talking about vanity pets, which I don't think really belongs here... I made this thread because people on the costume request thread kept telling me that it wasn't really the right place to suggest power animations, so I made one where it is. Myabe we can make a suggestion thread for emotes and vanity pets and the like, aesthetics that don't really fall under the umbrella of either a costume piece or a power animation.

Now that you mention this, there could also be a multitude of rez'ing animations as well. For example a pair of magical AED's appear out of nowhere and shock you back to life, or a certain Wight looks at you and your eyes turn blue and you get back up. Stuff like that :D

I really like this suggestion. If there is an issue with resurrecting characters, maybe target their portrait or maybe have a targetable invisible body (or whatever scrap is left behind).

I remember that when I made up my LIBRARY of Mastermind control /bindloadfile ...er ... files ... I set up an emote for each of the commands that I would issue to my (in this case, Ninja) Pets. It was just something added on into each action command so that it made it look like my Mastermind PC was "directing traffic" whenever I was commanding them to do things.

So there were basically 7 commands you could issue to them, which I arranged in the following order on my NUMPAD (roughly).

Attack - Passive - Defensive
Go To - Stay - Follow
Dismiss

I then set up my macros in the /bindloadfiles to pair up the following emotes on my PC to the above commands:

- -
- -

It was just one of those things that made playing my Mastermind feel a bit more meaningful, seeing my Mastermind emoting to "direct traffic" like that to command my minions. Totally unnecessary, of course, but made the game at least 3x cooler to play.

Was all sarcasm/a joke. MMs from CoH also had robot minions, so I dunno how one would psychically give those orders.

Honestly, I think it's better to NOT have "default" PC animations for giving commands, because you want to leave room for Players to get creative with the tools they've got available to them. The real trick is to make Players AWARE OF (and understand) the tools to be able to do things like that themselves.

I think it would make sense that we are provided with a default animation and are allowed to reskin the animation either with other default alternatives, alternatives from the cash shop, or with existing emotes somehow. (So sipping a cup of tea could be the perfect attack emote for a character who wants to be above the fray.)

And the animation should be something we approve during the power set customization segment of our avatar creation

Having a ranged attack animation that looks like your character runs towards an enemy and punches them would be neat as all get out.

PBAoE where it seems like your character runs around attacking around the point of origin. Yeah.

I like the ideas.
Quick questions about the ranged attack:
What happens if the target is flying?
Does the animation root you to give you a 'stable' returning point to finish the animation?
What happens if you die while the animation is going through its paces? Is there a interrupt death animation? Does the animation complete and you just flop tot he ground after it finishes?

They have used this as examples of possible aesthetics for ranged attacks, so at least they have thought of it already. More likely they already planned to include it at some point.

Mighty Lunge (Tier 7): One of the branched abilities of the tier 7 category, this ability can be used to select an enemy up to medial range and move you to its location. The force of your impact will knock down all enemies in immediate area. Recharge Very Fast.

So I've been looking through

So I've been looking through powers and noticed how different you made snipes. I Think it would be cool to have different charge up animations for those like, maybe my mad scientist type could start mixing chemicals before throwing a vial of acid at a guy for his charge up, or my gun fu guy could due some gun kata moves before sniping his enemy.

THIS is what I want for

THIS is what I want for Massive melee! Giant floating fists. AND I want to buy them as a pair of vanity pets, so I can run with them at all times.
these are colored ala steam punk, but toss a few options in and every one can be unique!
animation: hero makes standard melee punches, and the floating gauntlets make huge sweeps. easy peasy, right?!

I think the gauntlets could

I think the gauntlets could be something like familiars which are going to be something later on in the game, like pigeon man's laser shooting bird, except like a melee weapon. Though I can see some problems with those gauntlets being that size as it would make it way harder for people to go around you, especially when you're on a raid like the sewer run where there's a lot of tight corners. You might have to have them just as big the hulk's fists and nothing more. Unless we can make it so people can just walk through the gauntlets like they're not even there, but we would still have to deal with blocking everyone's vision.

You can just make people become transparent if they are blocking your line of sight, aswell as anything connected to said person.

A teleporting attack power like Lightning Rod, where you run very fast and kick, punch, or blast the target.

Here's something I'd very much hope is a thing; emanation points as part of martial arts animations.

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".

Also, how about some shorter hand signs for regular attacks

I remember that when I made up my LIBRARY of Mastermind control /bindloadfile ...er ... files ... I set up an emote for each of the commands that I would issue to my (in this case, Ninja) Pets. It was just something added on into each action command so that it made it look like my Mastermind PC was "directing traffic" whenever I was commanding them to do things.

So there were basically 7 commands you could issue to them, which I arranged in the following order on my NUMPAD (roughly).

Attack - Passive - Defensive
Go To - Stay - Follow
Dismiss

I then set up my macros in the /bindloadfiles to pair up the following emotes on my PC to the above commands:

It was just one of those things that made playing my Mastermind feel a bit more meaningful, seeing my Mastermind emoting to "direct traffic" like that to command my minions. Totally unnecessary, of course, but made the game at least 3x cooler to play.

The bindloadfiles were some of my favorite parts of playing a mastermind. I had sooo many variations for my team- from my minions doing the commands, to variants where they refused to take the command and just sat down, to them holding up various score placards after an epic win/fail... I think i spent more time creating those entire scenes than I had actually leveling up the characters.

For some powers, like

For some powers, like anything from the Vampiric lines, the animations ought to be 'reversed' from typical blasts and strikes, letting you 'siphon' or 'summon' from the target to yourself. Perhaps similar for a lasso-based repositioning/control power.

Be Well!

So, maybe dunning-kreugering here, but this seems easy. Add an idle stance for standing on the bubble.

Since we already have bubbles.

That looks like it would also make an awesome melee ability of "Don't get hurt-fu!"

Whether it be something akin to "Ultimate Defense and can't attack for however long" or "Ultimate Defense and can attack but obviously not as much defense"

Just encountered THIS today while watching episode 14 of Seraph of the End on Crunchyroll. Please ignore the audio in the youtube link (you can just mute audio) and pay attention purely to the visuals starting from 1:17.

Bear in mind, this is ARCHERY ... okay, it's CURSED archery, but who's counting?


So ... inspiring enough for a City of Titans Archery animation?

One thing I would really like

One thing I would really like would be a spiraling energy animation for both melee and ranged attacks. Something kind of like what I have imaged here:

That would be cool for melee, but for ranges I’m thinking a longer thinner beam of energy that is spinning (would be cool for lethality to give the sense of “piercing” foes):

Ranger: Gunner
Primary: Force Blast
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Kinetic Melee

Yes exactly! I know we already have “energy” melee and blasts but I hope the devs will give us different flavors of energy blast outside of the straight up jets of sparkly light.

Like how ice powers can be icicles/pillars of solids blocks of ice, versus “frosty” powers like snow and freezing wind. Or wind can be “tornado like gusts” versus “blades of cutting wind”. If that makes sense

The difference is that B&S has a much more limited range of avatar sizes than we're going to have to deal with in City of Titans.

Will it?

Will it?

CoT has 2 avatars and you can mess with their sliders.

BnS has 7 avatars and you can mess with their sliders.

Now, let's say CoT lets you go a bit more extreme. Will that still beat the fact that BnS has 7 different avatars to choose from before using their full body avatars?

From my understanding CoT's 2

From my understanding CoT's 2 avatars will have almost the same range (possibly more) in the differences in the types of bodies you can make as B&S's 7 avatars put together.

Since B&S has much more "specialized" avatars (less "range" on the sliders) it's easier to make more fluid animations since you have less "body variants" to account for. If they can re-use an animation from one body for another then perfectly fine, if not then they'll create (or adapt from existing) a new one for that body.

Also, the playable classes

Also, the playable classes for each race are different in B&S. So a lot of the animation interactions can be avoided by limiting the size of the characters to the animations available.

For example, the diminutive race, the Lyn, are only able to play the following classes: Summoner, Force Master, Blade Dancer, Warlock. Not one of those classes is a grappling or punching type class.


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.
