Who's getting Titan Weapons?

Just curious on who's looking forward to Titan Weapons when they go live? I never got a chance to try them on Beta, so anyone out there that tried it out and just didn't like it? I've been watching it and one possible complaint I'd have is the attacks don't look like they connect. Saw one vid where someone was beating the snot out of some Council and they barely flinched. I don't want to buy a giant rocket hammer that doesn't feel like a giant rocket hammer when I hit stuff with it.

I'm not.

I think it's cool and all, I have no problems with it. I just want to get Staff Fighting more. Plus I'm not really up for spending points on stuff I'll never use.

I'll wait until it goes on sale. I have a couple good concepts for TW characters, but both require costume options that we don't have--a butcher's apron, and a horse (preferably zebra) head.

I'll probably get it the second it goes live.

Maybe when tanks get Energy Aura or something. There are so many attack types and not enough armor types I hate to double up on stuff if I don't have to.

Why did "Time Bandits" pop in my head when I read this?

The CoH community would almost certainly refer to a butcher's apron as a frontcape.

I'm getting it opening day, but I buy everything except really dumb stuff like the German Shepard pet.

I'll be getting it when it comes out. I'm planning on rolling a dark/titan weapons tank and a titan weapons/regen brute.

The Wedding pack was great! My only regret is the Party Pack... and the fact that I won't get the dog shows you how bad it is!

What video were you watching? The Titan Weapons animations are pretty dang massive, and do lots of KD that makes it look like you are making a big dent (and the damage numbers are good as well). It has a lot of AOE, so you should be able to increase the number of enemies you need pretty well and take care of them easily.

My only beef with the set is the windup (well, and I'm not partial to the tier 9 animation, but the rest are awesome). It makes sense and it's a unique mechanic, but it doesn't match up with my playstyle as much. Keep in mind that you don't have slow windups much of the time, since you can chain about three attacks with Momentum going, and the set's build up power lets you earn Momentum just by activating it.

If you like the idea of the set, you'll probably like it.

True enough. I do like having new armor sets, even if sets like that aren't quite as flashy as attack sets. I'm at least going to give SR a spin for Tanks when the Staff set goes live, but I'm kind of out of armor sets that I want to try... leveling my StJ/EA brute right now.

Willpower went pretty well with Titan Weapons, but I'm not sure I want to use the set again or not.

It was an early video, and I can't find the exact one I saw now, but I've seen some more recent ones now and wow, that set is looking fun now. I do believe I've sold on it totally now.

Woah... what's the source on the extra pack for more weapon options? Can't see it in the dev digest anywhere... at least not in the two pages worth of Noble Savage comments I can see. Yikes.

That's pretty poor, though, I have to say. I'm rather disappointed they didn't fit in at least a weapon or two with the Barbarian set, since these two were so close in release time. I'm okay with a weapon or two being in a set, but that many in one pack is too much of a money grub.

The word you are looking for is "spam"

Later on, and honestly I'm going to say because of the immediately bad backlash, Zwillwhatever says
"As an incentive for early adoption of the new Power Set our plan is to offer Titan Weapons -and- Weapon Packs: Titan Weapons #1 as a bundle for 800 Paragon Points for the first two weeks of sales. After two weeks, the Weapon Pack will be off the Market for awhile and then reintroduced at it's normal price. "

Too much for me IMO

Since it's melee, would the animations all involve head butting?

Ill pick it up but I am not in any hurry. I think this is a result of a couple things...

I tend to enjoy playing my blasters, corruptors, controllers ect more these days and now that I am doing the whole incarnate trial thing I like them even more. I am not that thrilled with the lambda trial and refer the BAF .. on the BAF anything with ranged attacks, pets, holds, etc has a much easier time on the dreaded escapee phase. Tanks, Brutes and Scrappers run like monkeys trying to help out as best they can while my blasters stands in one spot and out damages them.

Also I played with TW on beta and it is a good set but they need more weaon choices... In my mind titan weapons look like something either handed down to us by the gods or stolen from them while they werent looking. Okay I like the axe they had and the sword but then it went kind of down hill for me.. I just cant see the all powerful Zeus, for example, running around swinging a railroad crossing sign he yanked out of the ground or Odin attacking with a steel pole that has a lump of concrete on one end LOL

Also I tend to enjoy anything that looks like martial arts so I am very anxious to see staff weapons. The REALLY BIG sword is okay but I am not dying to own it.

Going to agree with you on this. I hope this is a reasonable solution.

I'll probably go ahead and buy it, but I should really be working on leveling existing characters instead of rolling new ones. My 50's are all t4'ed on incarnate stuff so I need to get another character up to 50 soon.
