Announcements

Join the ongoing conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg/w6Tpkp2

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.

The devs have actually used speedster examples to point out the potential diversity of aesthetic choices, including "ranged" ones, so I think there is a pretty high chance that we'll get them at launch or slightly after that.

They definitely need to add a gun that shoots guns that shoot snakes.

I see people talk about super speed power sets and attacks quite a bit. For an example of a pretty solid implementation in a game, check out SMITE's version of the god Mercury.

The voice acting is pretty spot on too for a speedster.

Well as Schinopiraph alluded to a few months ago the pic Dark Cleric provided is technically a "warhammer" but that might just be a fancy term a knight might use so that he's not confused with the poor peasant using a "sledgehammer". ;)

In all seriousness warhammers were actually specifically designed to smash other people's shiny armor and they were often "double-sided" with some kind of pointy end to help piece through plate armor. They were in fact quite a bit different from an average sledgehammer - easily different enough to be included in your list separately.

Don't worry - I still get people who routinely suggest things over in the costume thread that aren't on the list that are like super basic... like "pants" lol.

Well maybe not that basic, but still stuff that you'd think somebody (anybody) would have thought of like 4 or 5 years ago and are only now being suggested. ;)

Yeah, but the only ranged attack that Spines had was a conical attack with a number of them. Surprisingly, there was no single-target ranged spine attack in the CoX spines powerset

"Impale" was single-target and serious damage. Spines had Several 'ranged' attacks, as well as melee. That's one of the things I liked about it.

I had thought I rememebred something like that, but when I checked it out on paragonwiki, the only other ranged attack was a taunt/placate. I even watched a few youtube videos to see if I could see it but it was not on any of them. That must be the one, then. For stalkers it was called Placate and on scrappers it was confront

Good catch. That is definitely the animation I remember. And at 1/4 speed, it looks like the confront ability was used.

You'd be surprised. In the last few years over on the Costume Request thread I've seen a good number of "very simple, very obvious" ideas appear on the thread relatively recently. These were things that were so basic and fundamental that you would have thought they would have been mentioned on Day One but somehow got missed by "everyone" for literally years.

The moral to the story: Always make an effort to suggest stuff like this regardless because there's always a chance it's never been mentioned before. :)

Speaking of something obvious

Speaking of something obvious that I checked on the list for.

A baton. For twirling. Not the police kind to hit people with, the gymnastics kind to twirl and toss.

It can be flavored as a magic wand or whatever you want it to be, but a balanced gymnastics baton for tossing and twirling would be great for many different character concepts, plus it just looks stylish if, say, you have someone cast a spell by excessively twirling a baton around.

The guns get that same futuristic-tech-energy treatment:

Without knowing what MWM has incorporated into the CC, I hope they have a wide variety of guns (projectile & energy).
A variety in size and shape would be nice to have too. Pistols, PDW (personal defense weapon) like a Kriss Vector or P90, battle rifles, over the top longarms (sniper rifles, anti-material rifles), and heavy weapons (Missile Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Lasers, Flamethrowers). And maybe vintage weapons along the lines of a blunderbuss or musket.

You can reference any number of sources for style or concept. Anime (GitS, Robotech, take your pick really), games (Warhammer 40k, shadowrun, steampunk) and real life.

Already got wrist cannon, which you should be able to put a blade on.

I think glove jewels would be an emanation point more than a prop.

That's actually a great idea. This is something that could work really well for guns and tech swords. I'm not sure how well it'll work for classical weapons.

works like this: start with 30 different blades and special effects. then add 30 different hilts. add accessories like gems, and glowy things implanted on the blade, toss in a blade specific choice of auras...wala, no two blades are alike.

same for hammers, maces, whips, halberds, spears, staves.

As a huge Juggernut (see what I did there?), I second this suggestion! In fact, that first graphic was from The Once And Future Juggernaut storyarc, which was quite good. They had Cain Marko as not some lunkhead as he had been portrayed for many, many storyarcs. But, not soon after, they made him a rambling moron again.
And, if memory serves, I believe that second graphic was from the World War Hulk storyarc, but I could be wrong. I know I have the issue somewhere, but I've read a lot of Juggernaut issues, even the stuff with Colossus.

Oh man, I would definitely suggest the Cain Marko and Colossus stuff during the Fear Itself event. It showed a different aspect of the avatar of Cyttorak.

They actually bought a module for UE that effectively does that though it divides the sword into grip-'n-pommel, cross guard, and blade. By default it only incorporated swords but was easily extensible for other types of weapons. Not sure how viable it would be to make gems and inlays/patterns be an actual additional part here rather then its own "whole" base-part.

Not sure how to add held

Not sure how to add held items to the list. We have "dangling item" like for hypnosis. I'll add it to category D I guess.

I'm a huge advocate for weapon customization, but the devs have said there's difficulty in giving a lot of complexity to weapons I think. Maybe later on they'll add a system for unique looking weapons.

However, is there a lot of superhero comic history of super unique looking weapons? Thor's Hammer is pretty generic, as are Wolverine's claws. Wonderwoman's sword is basically any Gladius. The only example of a very unique looking weapon I can think of is Scirocco (which is the sword's spirit, not the man ;) ).

ShatterStar's swords, Gamora

ShatterStar's swords, Gamora's sword (at least in MCU, I don't remember it in the comic) Magik's sword. I think they're only unique when it's an important part of who the character is. But I can't really think of any others anyway. You find more unique weapons in manga from my experience.

Yeah that's what I was

Yeah that's what I was thinking: more common in Eastern works to have a super unique weapon. Even western legendary blades are generally pretty generic.

Of those listed, only Magik's was very ornate. That being said, I hope there is a system to make our weapons more special than blue blades :p

I'd like to know if glass is one of the materials we can make things, as tinted glass with a light effect could be pretty nice. Energy blades of different styles is another hope of mine. As someone who's main is going to be one of those characters where their weapon is a big part of who they are, as much as their costume at least, I hope so too.

We need throwable flasks filled with mystery liquids for our mad scientists!

One specific thing I'd like to see with this is to have a commander throw one and a minion forms from the puddle.

No that's definitely a prop. Just like a throwing axe or a throwing knife would be.

All the animation would be is a the character model moving their arm/hand in a throwing motion.

We'll likely be able to use that same "Throwing Animation 1" for many, many props.

To be technical I would say it would be both a prop and a "thrown object" (or projectile) option. Nothing says an object can't be represented in several different parts/areas in the whole aesthetics "chain" when making a "full" power aesthetics.

To clarify, it's been said Props are objects you hold while casting powers, and presumably don't leave once the casting is done (e.g. a gun doesn't leave your hand once done shooting).

Throwing spears, axes, etc are tricky because you can use them as props to strike and such, but you can also throw them as an object. Do you just draw a new one out of your pocket dimension? :p Or do you have to go grab it? It boomerangs back to you? Does it just teleport back to you?

All of the above, or rather let the player decide. I mean I understand it would be weird for a common mook to be able to do that but, if Captain America can throw his shield with such precision that it always comes back to him I don't see why I can't bounce a sword off someone's skull and then bounce it back in my hand.

I think if you throw a prop

I think if you throw a prop it should return to you. Shields, axes, skulls, kittens, those kinds of things.
But at the same time there should be particle effects that can be thrown with an infinite supply, such as shuriken, daggers, marbles and paper airplanes. These would not be in your hand as a prop is except when the power attack animation is underway.


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.

If you're talking about the proper place to suggest it then yes anything that is a projectile should go into the animations thread.

However if you mean that anything implemented as a prop will never ever be shown as leaving your hand then that would remove a large portion of thrown objects, or at best put them into an either or situation. That I can't see MWM doing.
Now at launch it's a fairly low chance of getting included but with time I'm fairly certain it will.

I tend to think most thrown things (shuriken, fireballs, caltrops, grenades) appear in your hand, then leave your hand, then despawn. Props don't despawn.

Most yes, but I see no reason why it has to be only that way for thrown objects. Strictly speaking nothing prevents MWM from implementing an object as both a prop and a projectile, as long as they are different assets in their corresponding systems. We're not asking for everything throwable to be both just a few that are more appropriate.

Just have to comment on this though, I have never seen fireballs being carried around in a pouch/pocket or attached to belt/bandoleer but rather only manifested when needed.
