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.

I really think doing the name@global will also ruin the effect of CoH. When I played Champions Online, that was the first thing I noticed and it already just gave a odd feel. I didn't feel special anymore. And flying around seeing names@global also ruined the feel.
@global = no privacy. We shouldn't have the option of hiding it. IT should be hidden always. Privacy should be the #1 reason. #2 is everything else.
Has this been voted on by the way?

This idea just plain sucks, because what if I am making one of my published characters? yes I published a comic, and a name that I had for a long time was taken just because the person wanted to be a douche and doesn't use it? What's your solution for that? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm happy you're proud to show off your characters from your comics. But not everyone wants to be known. Celebrity/Fame is very particular, I'm not one to want it. I'm not saying you're fame hungry but wanting to show off the connection to your comics is your own prerogative.

If it's always hidden, this is a griefers (and stalkers) charter, it needs to be possible to display it. My understanding is that name@global is happening, but these things do sometimes change. On the "having to type name@global in tells" issue, I very rarely typed a name in chat/email in CoH, I usually retrieved it from a chat channel or friends list, I don't imagine this being any different in CoT although I have no particular knowledge on this.

I've always typed every name i send a tell to. If you're a fast typer (most gamers are, I was a hardcore WoW raider) then It's faster than to search for the name in other resources.
Having @global always visible is an issue with privacy because I don't want everyone to know who I make. And if someone is harassing me or was very rude, I'd make a new character. But if my @global is attached to that new character, they can still follow and do other things. Not neccessarily messaging me but imagine if some moron was kill stealing or using "Repel" from Kinetics in CoH and bounced all enemies away while I'm a lowbie. Exactly my point.
You should have the option to enable it. It shouldn't be automatic/default. Or if someone is so proud to show off their @global, then tell your friends about your @global like you can in CoH so you're eternally connected. Don't connect everyone globally before we even know one another.
About WoW's realID, there are global chat channels, you probably did not join them. Many of them have over 600 players chatting. /LFG was one of them. Again, it had to be a voluntary join and not automatic.
What other successful games shows name@global by default? It's a huge privacy issue we're overlooking.
My #2 issue with name@global is someone liking my name or character so much, they steal the name or idea. I'd feel robbed. It's not that big of an issue until it happens to you. And Developers/GMs won't have issues because their names will be blocked from other players to use.

has nothing to do with being known. I am already known around the CoH community. They know my character and they have known about the comic for years, so nothing to do with fame and more to do wit the character being established and having to change the name because someone thought they could be a douche taking the name to either sit on it or be a douche with others in game using my my identity.

The global thing is best.

The global thing is best.

The "xxxSuperdudexxx" needs to be done away with. It is like the dumbest thing ever. I don't think people should have to rename their toons, or toons from past superhero titles because someone has their name. In the comic universe, names duplicate. & let me tell you something brother, Hulk is not the only Hulk brother.

As a child, I thought my name was handsome, cause that is what everyone called me.

Wow... I totally agree with what you posted here but did you have to necropost on a thread that's been dead for 4.5 years to tell us that? ;)

Did you really have to follow me in a 4.5 year old thread because of our disagreement in a previous thread?

Why are you obsessed with a previous argument we were having that has NOTHING to do with a completely different thread like this? I get that you might still be upset over that silly disagreement we were having (in an unrelated thread) because most of the other people involved there were agreeing with [b]me[/b] on the issue but seriously you ought to just let that one go and move on.

To answer your specific question I didn't "follow" you here, don't flatter yourself. I simply pressed the "What's New" button on the top of the webpage and your incredibly wild-ass necropost happened to be the latest post that popped up so I responded to it. Don't worry, I didn't pick on your post just because [b]you[/b] made it; I would have made fun of ANYONE who would have necro'd such an old thread.

It's considered (at the very least) bad form to necropost to any thread in most forums. There are many forums out there that will actually punish users for doing it. Consider this a friendly reminder from a concerned fellow-poster.

Not to specifically take Lothic's side, but this shows up with a new comment for everyone to see. And he did agree with you so I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with any disagreement from a different thread.

Compulsively clicking the refresh button until the next update.

Yeah, agreeing with Lothic.

Yeah, agreeing with Lothic. This was a pretty awful and useless necropost, almost at the trolling level.

Phararri, it’s considered general courtesy on message boards in general not to revive a long-dormant thread unless you have something of substance to add.

FFS, nothing like seeing a 5 year old thread pop up just because of a worthless post count inflating post.

If it's such a problem seeing a thread necro'd why keep posting in that thread, especially when all that needed to be said about necro'ing had already been said?

Did someone say necromancy? I

Did someone say necromancy? I do love me some necromancy.

I'll be honest and say that the unique feel and gameplay of masterminds is a big part of why I loved CoX so much. One of many things that CoX innovated on that no other MMO has done a decent job of since.
