A peak of Titan Weapons in action...

Yes, there's more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. I'm going to try a big stick this time around. Honestly been waiting for the two-handed weapon concept since Issue 0, it fit the original RP character's concept better.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to the set, but not for the Giant Sword aspect.

I'm really hoping things like that Railroad crossing sign - and other such objects - are in the set.

You see, while it is a great set to play, I've always felt that Super Strength didn't exactly convey 'Super Strength' so much as 'I Punch Things Really Good!'

Someone swinging around a Streetsign/Lamp Post/Small Tree/etc, might finally give me that feeling of Super Strength that I've been missing.

(...note to self... if the devs do include a Stop Sign as a Titan Weapon... resist the urge to make a green-skinned zombie clown with it...)

I am thrilled that they are adding new sets to the game, and it is obvious that Titan Weapons has a rather large following. But that set just looks... BLEH is the nicest thing I can say about it. I can not envision ever playing one for any reason. But that is why I like CoH, because I do not need to like it, lots and lots of other people will, and I will lose nothing by not playing it, and will gain a LOT by having more of my friends happy with the set. And there is much to be said about expanded choices.

Keep up the good work devs.

Now, about Staff Melee..... Bring it on

on second thought, can we have a motorcycle on a girder so i can make a tiny Titan/Stone Brute named Triassik?

I'm digging the sword, a little outrageous but I too would like to see what other skins will be available both through the customization menu at level 1 and from particular badges like Overseer and what not.

You know, as a super-big fan of Kinetic Melee.... I wouldn't be opposed to trading power siphon for momentum.. maybe.. possibly.

Honestly, I'm really excited about Titan Weapons based on the few previews we've had so far. My one concern is that the power descriptions from in-game that we have seem to indicate primarily smashing damage, not lethal as we might expect of a sword. Or, given a sword of this weight, maybe a combination of smashing and lethal would make the most sense. I realize that the railroad crossing sign should do smashing damage. Is it possible the damage type is switchable? Or set at creation?

Here's some of the titian weapon concept art from the PC gamer article.

If you had a full 8 man team with titan weapon, there would be no room for mobs.

And I thought a 8 man MM team would be bad.

While I shall endeavour to unsee these pics for the good of us all, they concern me. Let's see what we have so far that we know of:

1. Buster sword (sword)
2. Big wooden sword with smaller swords stuck through it (club)
3. Railroad crossing sign (club)
4. Rularuu mace (club)
5. Chaoseater sword (sword)
6. Weird blob on a stick (club)

Without counting the railroad crossing sign twice, that's six weapons, which is probably more than Dual Pistols had when it launched. At best, I expect to see about two or three more weapons, but my concern is this:

A) There are no tech-looking weapons. I'm not even talking about Vanguard or "energy" weapons. I'm talking about anything which at least looks like it IS technology, rather than that it was MADE by technology, but is just a heavy chunk. That's... A pretty big concern, because we have, by my count, at least three fantasy-looking weapons. I hope we see a tech/energy Titan Weapon by the time this goes Live. Something glowing would be nice.

B) There is not a single symmetrical weapon. Not a single one. I get that a weapon like Katana might get all asymmetrical options since a katana is traditionally curved back and single-edge, but "Titan Weapons" are subject to no such preconceptions, and I see no reason why we can't get a weapon that has a nice centre line and is symmetrical on both sides of it. I hope we see one of these before the set goes live. Having the symmetrical weapon also be the tech weapon is perfectly acceptable.

C) There are very few sword weapons, only two out of six that we've seen, and considering this set can also work with hammers, axes and club-like weapons, I suspect what we haven't seen are variants for these. I sincerely hope we see at least one more sword - preferably one that looks more like a sword, just very big - before the set goes live.

Now, if I could dream for a moment, I would LOVE for Titan Weapons to launch with, like, 20 weapon options, all colour tintable. I'm sure that among this many, I'll find at least one or two to fall in love with. However, having seen what happened - and is STILL happening - with Dual Pistols... Well, I'm reserving judgement, put it like this. However, to make it absolutely clear how important it is for me to find the right weapon model, let me say this - if the set launched with ONE weapon in it, and I had to pay an extra 400 Paragon Points for 20 more weapons, I would do this in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm FAR more interested in what weapons the set will have access to than what the set will actually do and how it will work. I'd buy Titan Weapons as a clone of Broadsword if it had enough cool weapons in it.

*looks at OP's picture posted*

Forget the weapon, I just want those candelabra available as base items.

In fact I would like a lot of that mansion decor available to base-builders. Including but not limited to jack-o-lanterns.

Oh well, one can dream

If the set doesn't have a scythe option I won't be making/buying TW (at least not right off the bat).
