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.

What is the "Assault" Specification

Hi guys,

sorry if this has been answered elsewhere or if i'm just being obtuse but I was looking at this chart: http://cityoftitans.com/forum/updated-classification-and-specification-chart and realised I didn't understand what was meant by an Assault power set.

Ranged, Melee, Support, Control, Defence and Pets all make sense to me but I can't work out how assault would differ from Melee and/or Ranged.

Additionally, if someone could clarify the difference between Manipulation and Control I'd appreciate that as well.

I believe Assault means they get a mix of both melee and ranged attacks, maybe with a buff/debuff or two? I could be wrong on that however.

Using City of Hero terms here

Using City of Hero terms here.

Assault is a mixed of Range and Melee. So you could have say Fire assault you could have 5 Range attacks and 4 close/melee attacks.

Control has more focus on Sleep, hold, fear and confusion. Controlling your Foes in some way.

Manipulation has more Buffs and Debuffs. Weakening and boosting powers of friends or Foes.

At least that what I take from the information released.

In that thread Zombie Man

In that thread Zombie Man likened assault to the Dominator secondary power sets.

So, as RottenLuck wrote, a mix of ranged and close/melee attacks.

Think I might be wrong with the Manipulation. Got confused with Support.. lets see...

From the City of Heroes Paragon Wiki Manipulation is designed for support via melee attacks, minor crowd control powers, or temporary self-buffs.
