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.

Kind of what it states. You

Kind of what it states. You could manipulate something. Storm form the X-men would be considered a Controller character in City of Heroes. primary would be Wind Control secondary Storm Manipulation.

Her powers were manipulating weather. Manipulation for CoH and the coming CoT would be powers that manipulate what's around them. GAMEPLAY wise they are more Debuff and Buffing effects. A FOG storm power for example would make it harder for Foes to target you. An Ice would slow them down.

Time Manipulation the same way. So for gameplay think of Manipulation as Debuffing and Buffing in mechanics.

Control powers would be more Holds, Sleep, and other type of effects.

Short answer ... Buffs,

Short answer ... Buffs, Debuffs and/or Mez (ie. Status Effects) are what you'd expect to find in Manipulation.

And at higher levels you usually get a summonable pet.

Has anyone seen my mind? It was right here...

Slight correction: Manipulation isn't the Controller secondary (or primary), it's what Blasters had for a secondary in CoH. A grab bag of all kinds of attacks and a self buff or two, perhaps similar to Dominators' Assault but with a bit more emphasis on secondary/status effects. Although one set did have a pet at level 38+ in CoH.

It's more like that, though I'd add that quite a few of the powers primarily deal damage. Edit: In CoH, many of the powers primarily dealt damage but had a significant secondary effect. I don't know the details of CoT's equivalent.

How did I forget the Blasters Secondary was Manipulation... This makes me sad I'm starting to forget things. I thought of the Storm Manipulation and Time Manipulation powerset. I stand corrected.

Manipulation is Control

Manipulation is Control turned in to a secondary. The problem with Control is that it is very powerful, so much so that even once you've made a secondary, it still is as capable as the primary. So, you need to change it enough that it becomes something unique on to itself.

So, blaster secondary or the Stalker /Ninjutsu set would be classic CoH examples of manipulation sets.
