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.

Melee Types, then?

My favorite AT was the Brute. Strong like bull! Tough like...well, not as tough as a Tank, sure, but not as squishy as a Scrapper (relatively speaking). So, what's the name of the "Brute" in CoT? Also, are we going to have SS/Inv (or /WP) again? Please? :-)

There's a helpful table in

There's a helpful table in the "We know the names..." thread here that I'll repost here:

It's the current arrangement of AT's, for the moment, subject to change without reason, void where prohibited, if you experience an AT lasting more than four hours... etc etc.

The idea is that you'll be able to pick your primary/secondary pairing, then deciding which inherent power you get.

It will ALWAYS be scrapper-lock :)

I'm intrigued by the Bodyguard... melee\Support? I wonder if it's like the Shield set.. some powers buff your teammates def/res?

Well, if the Stalwart Bulwark does at least 10% more damage than the Tank in CoH, I'll be happy to be that. ;-)

From what I can tell,

From what I can tell, Bodyguard is like a straight melee defender (I guess corruptor would be slightly more accurate). A full buff/debuff set combined with melee powers.

The world is a mess and I just ... need to rule it.

I too am looking at the

I too am looking at the enforcer archetype for my main. As for the three subtypes (specs), I think they will all be similar in dmg to each other. seeing as how the dmg is mainly brought to the table by the primary set. I just hope that they will allow us to have multiple specs within each archetype and an easy method to respect incase we don't like our secondaries. Melee corruptors sound pretty good for pvp. I would personally like to have body guard for pvp / raiding and either a striker or gladiator for soloing/leveling.

These are my bases:

Is anyone else looking at the Striker...,

- ...and thinking OMG? If they stay true to this platform...we're talking about a Super Strength/Energy Manipulation build. We're talking about a character with Rage, Build Up and KO Blow. This character would tear through a Tank...and he wouldn't lack range - Boost Range and Hurl. Only one problem, like a Blaster (Hunter) - no defense. Still, just thinking of a Broadsword, Darkness Manipulation build sounds nasty! Would probably be one of the hardest AT's to play, but paired up with a Guardian would make Gladiators seem weak by comparison... ^_^

I brought up the potential

I brought up the potential doubling with Melee/Manipulation up on the old boards, and the devs suggested that the /Manipulation sets would be slightly different between primaries, most likely swapping some of the offense for defense in the case of Melee. The closest example of a Melee/Manipulation set they could give me was Stalker /Ninjitsu, which added some control/debuff powers to the normal defenses. I think /Devices could also port over to a Melee character basically unchanged.

The world is a mess and I just ... need to rule it.

Yeah...,

Yeah...,

- ...that would be rather excessive for melee attacks, drawing from two power sets would be rather one-sided. Perhaps swap a majority of the attack powers for more utility based concepts such as the likes from various defensive elemental powers ala tankers/brutes/scrappers/stalkers.

- ...was the fastest 50th I ever leveled...didn't worry about having too much defense, didn't need it. If things got 'too hairy'...Whirlwind followed up with Handclap = problem solved. Wasn't much of a 'team player', but Sappers were cute (...oh, you drained my end?...well, almost all my defense powers are passive - thanks for building my rage meter, though...). Wanted to really test the limits, but the sun set on CoX...along with my ambitions...

Melee attacks + a secondary

Melee attacks + a secondary that slightly under-performs in the DMG department, but it lets me slowly accumulate +RES/DEF numbers with each successful "hit" (think of this as a res/def version of fury). I can then choose (at any time) when to release, or better put, transform my res/def "fury" into +DMG for my melee attacks over some short/moderate period of time (so essentially, a build-up power). The penalty would be a reset of my res/def "fury" back to base + enhancement levels.

Could that be Enforcer-Striker?

Shields I can wait for.. but yeah.. a "street-level" scrapping set should be in at launch...

Super-Strength would be AWESOME though!!! :)

I find the idea of the Bastion and Centurion interesting. The Bastion, will have a mix of ranged and melee attacks. While the Centurion will have abilities similar the Blaster secondaries, if I'm not mistaken. I wounder how they will work in practice?

More akin to the Stalker secondary Ninjitsu. The Melee powers would be defense instead.

Wouldn't that give the Centurion extra defense?

I love the idea of some

I love the idea of some powers have no animations (but not no FX). I'd especially support the "stoic" animation set!! One devs can animate really quickly and cheaply and really FEELS super to me.

A major boon to separating the animations from the mechanics and something I'm glad the devs are embracing.

EDIT:
Look at it this way.. If you are psychic (<-damage type) melee you could have all of the following different types of character:

Stoic
Street Fighter
Boxer
Kick Boxer
Acrobat
Ninja
Single Blade (psi-blades)
Dual Blade (psi-blades)
Heavy Blade (psi-blades)

Sure the numbers diversification should exist but the above is the kind of customization I think people are really asking for. And frankly Devs can sell more Animation Sets without ever stooping to the guise of selling new power sets

"Or", not "and", I think. Choose these options, and you have a brute. The other way, a stalker. On the gripping hand, scrapperlock. Or something like that
