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.

Aesthetic Decoupling Questions

I have already been told I can shoot bullets from a pointed finger.
Can I shoot machine gun bursts from an old western revolver?

Further can I pick a different special effect for same revolver?
Lets say I mix a shot gun blast with knock back, machine gun bursts, a flame thrower, (using a tertiary power) encase an opponent in a block of ice, electric star wars blasts, and trick arrows all using the same revolver as a firing point.

can I do all of that with the same revolver? at launch?

Good questions. I would like to think that in the long run you could do all that but maybe for launch there might only be a handful of choices possible. For each power we should ideally be able to assign any visual aesthetic, emanation point, prop and sound effect desired.

I'm with Lothic on this. I think you can do it all from the same revolver, assuming all those options are even going to be available at launch.

But there's no accounting for poor taste, so whether or not you should have them all coming from a six shooter is another question entirely.


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 think they have pretty much

I think they have pretty much stated that they have given up on making "subsets" of aesthetic options for abilities that would be more "reasonable" for the chosen mechanics theme due to complexity and time of it all. By that I'm going to assume that they have also "given up" on "reasonable combos" between props and projectile effects (and hit effects) so that any projectile effect can be used with any prop.

This thread reminds me of the

This thread reminds me of the Anderson/Dickson short story, "In Hoka Signo Vinces"*, in which the clever but officially low-tech band of Hoka who decide to join the Space Patrol put gunpowder revolvers in shells made to look like the latest Holman raythrowers. ^_^

Last edit, hopefully: After failing to find my DTE, and requesting Kindle Versions left and right, I found The Sound and the Furry, one review of which let me know IHSV was the Space Patrol story, that "The Tiddlywink Warriors" involved La Légion Étrangère, and "Yo Ho Hoka!" was the one which involved the British Navy (and pirates). Now I want to read them again!

My understanding is that this and much more will be possible at launch. If you want your revolver to shoot an astral tiger (assuming an astral tiger fx exist) it can do that.

There are few restrictions on projected fx, as compared to melee fx. It should work as follows. Choose the animation (point with prop (gun) ) -> Choose the emanation point (prop gun) -> Choose the fx (machine gun, flame thrower, shotgun blast, astral tiger, rubber band, or bees). You'll probably need to choose a power to apply it too somewhere in there. Probably, step #1.

IIRC there is a limit on how many props you can use for each powerset. IE you can't use sword and a gun for your primary powerset but you could use a sword for your secondary. Not 100% on that aspect.

There is a limit to the number of props and FX themes a person can use. Necessity due to being online. Too many, and the data becomes too large to share quickly as more people are in an area. At this point, the limit is 2 of each, but if during playtesting we find we can raise that limit, we will.

So to get clarity by example, you could have a gun AND a bow, as well as have them shoot fire AND ice?

Right. Of course the colors are independent of this, so one fire FX could be green and another purple.

That's very exciting news, I was expecting it to be one weapon with 2 FX. Throw the colors on top of that, we are going to have so much customization, I don't think I'll ever be able to leave the AB :D

so to clarify, I can have one revolver and two FX to go with it.
a gun FX for the machine gun, shotgun, maybe mortars
and then a fire FX for the various effects that has.

so at Launch: Atrophic Blast with the revolver prop, guns and fire FX. Did I get it right?
can I still shoot a tertiary ice block and it will look like an ice block?

I remember either you or Tannim mentioning the "2 Prop Max" per hero, but this is the first time I've heard of a "2 Particle Effects Per Hero" max. Interesting.

Will this limitation bleed over into secondary sets/armors too? So I could I not have, for example, lighting coming from my left hand, fire from my right, but ice and/or water covering my body as an armor?

I know even City of Heroes could have at least 3 particle types with the Epic Power Pools. Is that not an option here?

No, two props, two FX themes,

No, two props, two FX themes, can mix and match actual powers between all of them. And we may be able to do 3, but will need playtesting to make sure. We can with confidence promise 2.

Hopefully not a mirror-verse version.

Although that'd be a good thing for a mind control power. You don't make them work on your side for a bit, you just temporarily swap them with a mirror-verse double.

Just makes the enemy vanish for a second and come back with a goatee.

Tyche,

Is it possible to choose a "third option" by having the power effects set to "No effects"?

So, like, in theory you could have a lot of Martial Arts/Street Combat abilities for your tertiaries, but also have your two "actual power effects" like fire and ice? Effectively having "3 powers."

My problem with superhero

My problem with superhero MMOs has pretty much been the opposite of what is being requested here, but I'm hoping CoT will give me the flexibility to do what I've always wanted to do but was unable to do.

So most superheroes have a theme that they base things around, a gimmick. Usually it's one power that they use to fight (or commit) crime that they hone and improve on and get creative with. But most MMOs require you to diversify. A perfect example would be DC Universe Online; you can't make The Flash as a character. The Flash has one power, super-speed, which he uses in creative ways. But in DCUO you have to pick a weapon, a powerset, and a travel power. So you'd have to make The Flash with, oh, ice powers, and something like a gun, or a sword, or fist blades, or super strength. But you can't actually recreate one of that comic universe's most iconic characters.

I actually want to narrow what my character does. For my first and probably main PC, I want a guy who fires missiles at people. He might have knockout gas missiles, and missiles that explode into fireballs that set people on fire, and plain old explodey ones, but all missiles. No MMO that I've ever seen would let me do that. In CoT, could I choose every power to be narrow in scope like that? Assuming they're all some kind of ranged attack of one kind or another.

If that kind of thing would be possible, I would be SO happy. I could make characters as broad or as narrow as I want to. I no longer have to come up with an idea then sigh and drastically compromise, I can make a character that matches what I imagine. I would love that dearly.

Actually Cyclops's OP on this thread is a suggestion to be able to have multiple powers all come the same gun. That sounds pretty close to what you're talking about doing.

I think the aesthetic decoupling and/or customization options provided by CoT will probably let you get as close as possible to what you want here. Basically CoT is still going to make you take a diverse range of powers (so that you won't be too under/overpowered game balance wise) but you're going to be able to make as many of those powers as possible LOOK like they are all coming from the missile launcher (as a prop-based emanation point) you want.

Obviously I can't promise you that MWM will deliver exactly what you want but I imagine CoT will come closer to what you want here than any of game has so far.

That is my main gripe with DCUO, Atama. Not so much narrowing my concept, but for a game that is allowed t o have Superman an d the Flash, it's silly that Superman has to have ice armor. And no, I'm serious. That's his power. At least Flash can use his superspeed in combat.as long as you ignore him zapping you as well.

But anywasy, small off topic aside, yeah, I'm pretty sure you';ll get most of you effects from the same point i.e the Rocket Launcher of Awesome.

Well, I think one could

Well, I think one could approximate the 'One Power' effect of Flash, by choosing a speedy-melee set, get a fast a gap-closer, maybe enhance a few attacks with electric, or 'power glow' FX. Perhaps use a ranged attack with an animation of a character-blur that rushes to hit the target and then rushes back, so it looks like a charge-hit-return. The trick will be in combining power-set, animation, and FX to portray the theme.

With this new limitation we just found out, this wouldn't be possible. You've listed 3 "effects": Electricity, Glowing, and Character Blur. If what Tyche was mentioning is the limit, that means you could only pick 2 of those 3 effects for your entire build. You could use those 2 effects interchangeably between attacks however is allowed, but it could still only be those 2.

Unless the blur effect was an aura or part of the super speed aesthetics. If travel aesthetics aren't linked to the two previously mentioned ones.

Well, I think one could approximate the 'One Power' effect of Flash, by choosing a speedy-melee set, get a fast a gap-closer, maybe enhance a few attacks with electric, or 'power glow' FX.

The trick will be in combining power-set, animation, and FX to portray the theme.

With this new limitation we just found out, this wouldn't be possible. You've listed 3 "effects": Electricity, Glowing, and Character Blur. If what Tyche was mentioning is the limit, that means you could only pick 2 of those 3 effects for your entire build. You could use those 2 effects interchangeably between attacks however is allowed, but it could still only be those 2.

Unless the blur effect was an aura or part of the super speed aesthetics. If travel aesthetics aren't linked to the two previously mentioned ones.

Very good point! We don't know if those two effects affect those two things. I would think since a travel power is a "Power" it might? But I would presume that the aura is a costume effect, so it would not?

Edit: I found this post from almost a year ago by Tannim,

"Travel powers aren't like normal sets. They don't come with combat powers and are separate from your combat power picks.

There may be a tertiary set with movement related combat mechanics customizable to look like many different types of movememt abilities."
https://cityoftitans.com/comment/116356#comment-116356

So that really makes me wonder if Travel Powers, then, don't count in that "2 effects" rule?

If I choose my "effect" to be

If I choose my "effect" to be earth or rocks, can I choose different kinds of earth or rocks per power? Like in City of Heroes if you picked Stone Melee you could have some attacks be molten rock, or crystals, or straight-up dirt.

In City of Titans would these different effects or "skins" on my powers count towards this power limitation? Or will selecting "earth effect" give me the option of changing each powers' earthy look?

That's an interesting question. What about something like lava which falls into both the "fire" category and the "Rock" category. Will the themes have some overlap?

There are several areas here,

There are several areas here, which can be confusing due to it being rather different from how other games are. Things like Crystals would be a costume bit. The effect would be, for rock, little, well, rock particles. You can then alter things like color and size to get sand, lava, etc. They can be emitted in a multitude of ways, depending on the power. Not all options are available for all powers.

So it sounds like it will make a lot more sense when we can actually get in and be able to mess around with it. But if all the elemental base aesthetics will be costume pieces, that will even make for more options, so that sounds awesome!

It sounds like power

It sounds like power aesthetics will be layered in a similar way that character aesthetics will be, not a single pre-built appearance that can only change color. If this is really so and the aesthetics themes we choose are only the "base shapes" we get then oh boy will it take time in the character creator to finish a new costume, and I mean that in a good way.

I can't wait to find out the full capabilities of the CC.

It's starting to get hard to follow specifics to how things work and limitations from developer's off hand remarks. I'm just going to remain excited and look forward to testing out the costume maker so we can make a definitive list of how things work.

I'm getting an overall sense of "no, not totally free, but freer than anything you've ever seen before." And I'm more than cool with that.

Like powers, totally free aesthetics--while sounding awesome--might not actually work that well in practice. I know I might catch a little flame for saying that out loud, but I think it's probably true.

You won't catch any flame from me on that idea. As it is I'm just slightly concerned about the eyesores the actual planned amount of freedom might allow. I'm hoping the awesomeness of most creations will outweigh those.

That was an argument against transmogrification in WoW (choosing armor appearances), thankfully in that, City of Heroes and pretty much anything else, after the opening rush the ridiculous entries fade away and become a rarity. At most a few run around the low levels, but how often did such unsightly fellows even make it to level 20 or 30?

I was thinking as much about the practical mechanical problems that total aesthetic freedom would create for the devs as the visual atrocities that would be committed. The latter will happen no matter what, and in CoH I learned to have a "their money, their fun" attitude about it.

A dev in another thread

A dev in another thread stated that the first version of the character generator we get (hopefully within a few weeks) is not going to have any power customization on it. Only costumes.

So, be tempered!

One of our earlier iterations

One of our earlier iterations of the character model had a 6-color limit. That is, could only pick 6 colors to go on the character. When we tested it, we found this to be too limiting. So, we figured out how to make each area independent. It comes at a cost, a fixed color look up table, but I think most players will be happy with the compromise.

I frankly find that argument hilarious considering the absolute clown suit of colors and superfluousness/excessiveness that is WoW's armor (baring raid tier armors that had a unified color scheme/style). They were worried about eyesores? In a game without a dye system (So no way to match your gear as you progressed, constantly getting new gear).

Personally, I always used transmog to convert my gear to look like the lower level gear, because I much preferred the basic armors to all the exaggerated, overly stylized junk that high level gear was.

Same here, I don't rp my goblin rogue as some master assassin or anything, I rp him as a low level agent/scout and dress as such. I know WoW largely became about being the hero, but I always enjoyed it best as just an adventurer. Even today I prefer the story in the questing zones for levels 1-30ish over anything new coming out. I'll have a similar stance in City of Titans, I may make a character to explore the North/high path, but most of my characters will be going through the South/low path. I just tend to enjoy less.... 'grand' settings, so when something big happens it carries some weight.

I am ok with this.

But for the love of everything make sure that all the shades look the same on everything. Frustrates me to no end that when I have the same color for multiple costume pieces it doesn't look the same.

Like black-black top and black-black bottoms and yet the bottoms look grey!

Makes a me so mad!

Same as when belts don't quite cover properly and I see a tiny one pixel line of it the wrong color and I have to go change the belt or the whole design because it doesn't fit right!

My costumes need to be perfect >:V

Back in CoX the materials were hardwired into the costume parts, hence the tinting differences.

Really glad we'll be having material control, I think that opens a lot more possibilities and really adds to the potential of every future costume piece made.

I agree, it's better to have a higher number of different colors on the character than having a wider range of colors to choose from.

Hopefully though we'll get a higher number of pre-set colors to choose from than what's in CoH and CO combined.

I don't know what you mean by web safe. But to encourage the T for Teen rating, they can now ensure there are no costume duplicates of skin colors in order to prevent nude characters.


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.

The 216 Web Safe colors are

The 216 Web Safe colors are the ones that could be used on the old 256 color displays back in the day and were chosen because they were shared with all (read: Most) computers or were at least very similar to default pallets which would reduce load times. Then you have the 22 "Super safe" colors which were for the 8 and 16-bit displays that were still heavily in use.

Revenge is motivation enough. At least it's honest...
