    I'm finished!

    Awesome work and a brilliant idea!

    I have absolutely 0% of experience remodeling toys like this.
    But now that i´ve seen this, i´ll definitely give it a try.

    thank you

    Congratulations.

    btw. what´s it about these stars? I´ve never seen those before.
  4. Da der deutschsprachige Teil des Forums stillgelegt wird, verweise ich hier noch für alle Neueinsteiger darauf, dass sich nahezu die komplette deutsche Community eigentlich immer über ein anderes Forum ausgetauscht hat.

    Ihr findet uns auf cohmmunity.net

    Falls ihr Fragen zum Spiel habt oder Anschluss sucht und euch nicht gerne durch englischsprachige Foren sucht, seid ihr hier richtig.
    Selbst bei technischen Problemen kann euch fast immer geholfen werden.

    I´d like to buy it, but i don´t think i´m willing to spend 700PP for it.
    I hope i don´t miss it, when it´s on sale.
  6. I´ve got more fun on leveling or doing missions, trials, TF/SF.
    I haven´t done any pvp for years now, because on Zukunft it´s very unlikely to see anyone in a pvp zone, even for nukes, shivans or RV-Bot-Farming.

    I enjoyed mass arena pvp events(no teams) because even if you didn´t have the best pvp skills, you still were able to get some kills, because there other people on the same level or below.

    There is no fun loosing again and again vs experienced pvp players.
    I don´t want to use INF for an extra pvp-build and certainly not for pvp-IO´s.
    Ganging/ganking and trash talking doesn´t get more players to a pvp zone as well.

    What "might" get me to pvp would be a system that rewards you even if you loose.
    The Systems of SWTOR and DCUO are a good example for this. You do get exp and/or one or several currencies even if you loose. Winners get (don´t know for sure) about twice that much.
    Now you could argue that someone who looses should only get about 20% of what the winner would get.
    But if there is an IO or whatever i want to get out of pvp-ing and i don´t see to get it in a certain amount of time the system won´t get me to pvp.

    Psychic Melee

    Maybe Psy-Blades!?

    If i remember correct, that was a choice out of the poll, which Dual Blades and Shield Defense won.

    Was there any control before?
    Giving hero names as an example.
    I can´t count how many different names containing Superman, Kal-El, Hulk or Wolverine i have seen in the last years on Zukunft.
    I only got to know one player who got his name changed from Peter Petrelli to Generic....

    Guess thats because the GM´s are very rare on Zukunft.

    On the other hand if you need the help of a GM you have to wait a long time or you went already offline before something happened most times.
    So you considered if it´s even worth spending the time writing a ticket.

    Maybe those things will change in the future.

    Dear Devs, to best summarize my feelings for you right now...->click<-
    I can sign this.
    I nearly want to say there was nothing.

    I still know, that i found city of heroes in the web by accident, i think in late 2005.
    But what i found was only in English i was first interested but then i had seen that you had to pay a monthly fee for it.
    I thought about that
    *are you kidding me? paying for the game and then paying also per month?*
    So i left the game were it was.

    Maybe a year later (late 2006) i wanted to play a superhero game but not another one of these movie conversions like Spiderman or FF. I remembered that there was this one game, where you could create your own heroes, but i couldn´t remember the name. I thought maybe its possible to play it offline now (no idea of MMO´s before).
    So i began to search, but it was really hard to find at that time without knowing the name.
    Then i found it and saw that you can play a trial for free.
    I thought, well, let´s give it a try and i´m infected.

    I always thought about advertisements in the different Super Hero Comic Books which are also sold over here.
    There are only 2-3 pages of advertisement in them and i don´t think that many want to do it through this way, so it shouldn´t have been to expensive.
    That way the game might have found a lot more customers over here.
    It would also have found the way into my pc earlier.

    But changing it to a tottaly different name??? X(
    That feels like steeling me my home.

    I can understand that there might be a need to change the name into an English one, because otherwise people might avoid that server.

    My idea about it, if changing the name is really necessary would be that it should be changed to "Future" and that there should be an addition.
    Maybe name it "Future aka Zukunft".
    Or put there something in brackets like the sentence you already see (German Language)
    In those brackets could stand (former Zukunft)
    or even better in German (vormals Zukunft) so that new players with German language can suspect that this might be a good home for them.

    Then, what will i discuss? I have to take it like it is.
    That´s the case.
    We´ve had a great forum which helped to build an outstanding community till it closed the doors last year.
    But through the great work of some community members we had got a follow forum immediately.

    Those forums were and are the first place to be for most of us to get news or if you need any help with the game. Technically or whatever.
    And in most cases you got that help there.
    The big thing on it always had been that players who retired could stay in touch with others.

    So closing the German official Forum is no loss for us.
    btw this forum is often called the unofficial official or the official unofficial forum.
    Maybe it should get linked somewhere on the Paragon Website to help more people find the way.

    Not to forget...
    Nearly all players with German language who are active on the official forum are active in the English section.
    And Zwillinger mentioned in the German thread that he doesn´t understand German and that it would be better if we would respond in this thread and or in English.
    So don´t expect many people to post in the other thread.
  13. I can totally understand this step.
    The population of Zukunft got less and less over the last few years.
    When i started with the game, end of 2006 there were about 150 and more players blue side and nearly 100 players red side during main time. (don´t know about hidden ones)
    And now, most time of the year you do not see more than 50/blue and 10/red side.

    I did already play some of my chars on servers with English language because of the lack of incarnate trials on Zukunft, so this is not such a big Problem.

    But i can´t enjoy the new content with reading the dialogues in English as much as could with reading it in German.
    And more than half of the bubbles in the cut scenes vanish to fast for me to read them completely in English.

    In German i do already feel, that the dialogues are often to long-winded.
    Somehow i do not get warm with reading in this game, even after all this years, which doesn´t mean we don´t have good stories. We´ve got great stories.
    But i wish we had at least one comic book Page before every mission like with the tutorial, introducing us into the mission or giving a conclusion of the past mission.


    At the end...
    i guess you shouldn´t expect us and our French fellow sufferers to not speak German/French in chat channels.
  14. Very well done.
    Thats real good retro SciFi Stuff, but i´m not sure if i´ll buy the whole pack as i like to create retro or history like looking costumes, but tend to not really use them.
    Futuristical is more the kind of costume options which i do prefer.

    I might buy the bubble helmet and i will definitely buy a jetpack if there will be an option like the following with preferably not to many rivets on it.
    Guess i´ll have to play a bit around with the rest, to see if i can get some use out of it.
  15. Guck mal einer an, der Master hat bei Paragon Studios angefangen.

    That would be great.
    The original version is great for retro, but i can´t imagine, using it for modern tech style.
    Without the rings on top it would be really useful in my opinion.

    You can say at least 800PP with a clear conscience.
    Very unlikely to get it with 10 Packs or even less.

    It's possible that whoever was putting together the German version of Ms. Liberty's arc wasn't a German speaker, and was word searching for the correct text to use from a collection of translations that have already been made for future content, and took another one by mistake because it used the same few of words - like "spirit", "ritual" or "romantic", for example - and then a bug dropped it into the English version of the arc.
    I guess thats unlikely. The thing is that it appeared in 2 different introductions from Ms. Liberty and below were the totally correct and complete translations compared to the Story Arch played on a server with English language.

    But anyway. Very curious.
  19. I´ve bought a bunch of 24 Super Packs.
    I opened all of them already.
    I got the whole costume set within 11, 12, or 13 Packs.

    Additionally i got
    9 ATO´s
    5 catalysts
    nearly 50 IO Booster
    some Unslotter
    1175 Merits
    Those are nice to have, but in my opinion definitely not worth spending money on it.

    and lots of crap (Temps and Inpirations)

    I think there shouldn´t be any Windfall-, XP-Booster- and Experienced-Temps in the rare cards.


    I don´t think that i will buy any more of this Super Packs, because there is nothing in it that i would be willing to pay for.
    It was really fun to open the packs, but the only thing i wanted out of them were the costume parts for which i had no need to buy a bunch of 24.
    And afterwards i´m not really sure if it the costumes are worth the cost even if i would only have had to buy 12 packs.
    For the price of this i could have bought two other costume bundles.

    Selling costumes this way might be alright if there is a new pack once a year, but definitely not more often, since you can´t choose what to buy and what not and there is too much crap in it.
    But i really don´t think that i would pay 800PP and more for a single costume set +some goodies.
  20. When i played the Red Widow Arch and got back to talk to Jessica Megan Duncan for the last mission and the one before, both times there was a sentence on top of her text which didn´t make any sense in context with the story arch.

    btw. it only appeared in the german localisation, not in the english.

    in german:
    Quote:
    Wenn du nicht gerade dabei waerst, einen boesen Geist mit einem alten Ritual in einen Kristall einzusperren,
    waere dieser stimmungsvolle Ausblick auf den Weltraum fast schon romantisch.
    In english it would mean:
    If you weren´t busy, locking up an evil spirit with help of a ritual into a crystal ,
    these impressive views of the universe would be almost romantic.


    An unintended hint on the Moon Base/Space Station?
    Or do you remember something like this from another arch?

  22. Well, if there is any time and willing in the future....

    I´d be really thankful if the Plasma Sword from the Titan Weapons would get a port to Broad sword.


    And GZ to the people who wanted that stuff for so long.
    While i do create some female costumes from time to time i don´t use a single one on any of my chars.

    Around the time, the Beast Pack was released there were also some hints in a video and on an image.
    There was a reptile or dragon character, who was build with old reptile parts but with new reptile feet.
  24. Looking at option B and C and thinking about past costume sets, i guess that B and C will be pre-tinted!?

    A clarification for this in the starting post would be great as there is a number of people (me included) who don´t like that whole pre-tinting thing.
  25. My main is a Broadsword/Regeneration Scrapper with nearly 1200 badges.
    I still like Regeneration, but after more than 5 five years i´m a bit bored of the Broadsword.
    Since about two years i do only use him for badging and events.
    And a few months ago i decided to only collect additional badges if they don´t use to much time to get them.

    If there was an option to keep the badges, or to transfer them to another char i´d probably roll a Staff/XX char as my new main.
