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.
Oops, maybe this should have been under questions about the game. If someone wants to move it there, that would be cool.
City of Heroes / City of Villains player until the end.
The game will more like the classic tab target system with a few tweaks. There will be 'hard' and 'soft' targeting. Soft targeting is what you're used to, it's where your attacks go. Hard targeting also locks the camera and affects your movement controls to be based on the enemy.
From the compilation thread:
[quote=Pyromantic]
Not an action combat system. “Still [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57L8-52BBo8&list=PLPw9VrftmxbuAEawABgY6k2TLQlTJBW3n&index=16#t=2m51s]tab targeting[/url] but a little more flexible.” There is a system of “hard” and “soft” locks as explained [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/152406075?t=9m26s]here[/url], with further examples [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/152406075?t=22m06s]here[/url] and [url=https://go.twitch.tv/videos/152406075?t=24m9s]here[/url].
This isn’t correct. Hard targeting is tab targeting. Hard targeting orntab targeting locks you onto your selected target for attacking (or buffing / healing).
Our soft-target system is an optional hybrid for action and tab target. Where you select a target but an move your cursor to “aim” at other targets, if you don’t select a new one, once you acitivate a power you lock into the pre-selected target. You can effectively use this to “aim” but under the hood it is still tab targeting with an extra step to allow more active aim.

I will say that having played CoX, GW2, Overwatch, and now Destiny 2, the "Action" targeting system is only useful/necessary for gun-based shooter games, as far as I can tell. I think CoT can easily skip that for the most part. If you want to do what GW2 does and have little in-game objects that you can interact with that put you into an action targeting system for a brief while, that's fine (GW2 is mostly tab targeting, but has sniper rifles set up in some ares you can shoot in an action type of setup that it switched into when you pick up the rifle).

Within the confines of such a game, tab-targetting is the way to go. If they were going a more action-RPG style...it'd take more

I'm just going to post this here (again) for anyone who is unclear on the concept(s) involved. Note that the UI you see presented here (best viewed in fullscreen) is for a game released in 2007 and (dishonestly) killed by NC$oft in 2008 (hmm, where have I heard that M.O. before?).

Note the ... versatility of being able to use the exact same UI setup for both melee and ranged combat with equal ease/utility. My point being, you can do both.

I had originally suggested we use foam covered PVC, but I kept getting dirty looks.

Wait until you see the... nope, that would ruin the surprise.
Stick with rattan, It keeps you honest. At least if you hit hard enough.
Only when I'm in full armor. In the SCA we learn not to break out friends...most of the time. :)
I still think that the ultimate, Dev-only powerset should be Nerf(tm) weapons. No other powerset can withstand it.

I'm going to make myself a Soon™ weapon. Slapping in someone's face to see them "soon" flying away :p
