Buy Titan Weapon Pack NOW... for FREE

I bought both and love this set to bits. I'm particularly glad the railroad crossing sign made it off the drawing board. Now if you could add a giant STOP sign (maybe unlockable after achieving a Municipal Authority badge perhaps), I'll be all set.

This thread was just a heads up to grab something while it's free.

Clearly a topic worthy of rage, doom, and personal attacks.

the Real ripoff is that TW is only available on 3 of the 4 Melee ATs. While I "bought" the weapon skins, I'm not buying the set until it's available for all 4 Melee ATs.

While the timing is certainly questionable I wouldn't be surprised if the base models were finished and then it was decided that some extra models will be sold separately. Is that a removal of options? not necessarily. Either way we can't call it a money grab until the actual price gets listed.

Personally.

Would have included the 'additional weapons pack' in with Titan Weapons at release and then introduced an additional 4 weapons later down the line for purchasing.

Now I am willing to agree with Bosstone, the models themselves (with exception the Steel bar in a boulder weapon) are quire a bit more detailed than most of the weapons we've gotten for free before, I think only the Romulus Augustus/Nictus Broadsword option is a rival in being very ornate.

Keep in mind that most of the 'ornate' designs were included in paid for packs. The weapons from the Martial Arts pack and the Valkyrie blade are more fancy than most of the unlockable ingame ones.

Still Titan weapons does come with a fairly puny amont of models at its base so rather than pulling models away and then releasing them as a paid for pack, just include the models in the first place, then in a month or so, crank out a weapons pack.

I am disappointed at the lack of a Vanguard and Rularuu option for Titan weapons though.

If you actually look at the weapons in the set vs. the weapons in the pack, you'll notice that the weapons in the pack are far more intricate and, I dare say, far more fiddly to develop. The energy mace has a lot of mesh detail and an unusual effect, the Meath Scythe has a very specific wet meat sheen to it, plus a very elaborate texture, the evil sword has an animated scrolling runes texture and the Advent Children Fusion Sword is slightly bugged and missing a piece of texture at the top of its hilt, but is otherwise fairly complex.

Also, Titan Weapons is probably the first new set we've ever gotten since Power Customization that didn't have any weapon models it could borrow from anywhere. While anyone could argue the same about Dual Blades and weapon customization in general, that was a whole issue and many sets shared the same weapons anyway. And the sets that didn't? Well, how many weapons do Axe, Mace and Archer have, anyway? How many weapons does Assault Rifle have? And a lot of THOSE are NPC item ports. In fact, when Thugs first came out, I'm not sure if it had a single original weapon in the whole set.

When Dual Weapons came out, BABs started a weapon suggestions thread and precisely NOTHING from that thread ever came to pass. The set rolled with the same set of weapons as Thugs, plus a few mods for the Automatic. A few months later, we got a couple of what look like Colt revolvers, plus mods for those guns that had laser sights to be available without laser sights, like the Match Compensators. Hell, Robotics Masterminds used to have all of TWO weapons for their entire set - the blocky low-res pulse rifle and a set of bagpipes.

If booster packs is what it takes for the art team to make more weapons, then I will gladly pay for them. Like I said - my weapon users' weapons are AT LEAST as important to their overall design as the whole rest of their costumes. If anything's worth paying money for, that is.
