Our arcs need views

Hello every body !
I'm french, so sorry if I make some faults in english.
I post here to ask you, english and american people, if, someone of you can understand french and read it, to make some french arcs who need visitors .
We have not dev's choice or HoF yet, and some arcs are very good and very fun !
Go to the french part of the forum, 'Aides Joueurs', 'Créateur de missions'

Personaly, I have 3 arcs, in french. In the AE, research 'Kupun' (in french arcs) and you'll see 3 :
-L'Ascension de DJ Pi (DJ Pi's Ascension). There are a lot of troubles in Pocket D, and a new DJ, DJ Pi, ask you some help. Quickly, you go in mysterie's deep and DJ Zer0 is not the sympathique guy that he said.
-Un braquage Or-normes (french joke wich means : Biggest steering of Gold), an arc with a scenario like Ritchie and Tarantino's movies. Someone ask you to steel the biggest place of money in Paragon City/Rogues Island....
-L'Empire d'Imperius (Imperius Empire) : My first and worst arc, I imagined what could happen after the Cimerora's TF.

And I have some ideas and suggestions, but I won't post them in an other post. It could be very great to make other versions of our arcs, in other languages. (for the same arc, so, 1 spot, to do a french version, and an english version, for example).
And to make other gifts from AE (with TicketZ) : One mission more for an arc (ex : arc with 6missions, or 10 if it's possible to 'accumulate' it). And more Ko of memory (ex : arc with 150Ko)... and the best, it's to get both of them ( arc with 12missions, and 250Ko ! ).
Maybe to have a temporary power (just for the arc, or not ^.^') for exemple, I did an arc (I deleted it) when it could possible to invocate a thuatta (with the Forester's instrument) but The player had to click somewhere, etc... :s
And other thing it's to have AE's contacts like normal's contact, not like TF's contact. But we could have just one contact AE. (some people doesn't and can't do to the end of arcs because of time).

Thanks for playing our arcs, I hope you'll enjoy them ! =D

IF you don't reply because you don't understand what I'm talking about or if I make too much faults, say it and I'll try to be better.
Thanks a lot !
(of course... Do my arcs, I'll do your ) )

Sounds like fun. I've forgotten most of my four years of high school French class, but I will definately play one of these and give my feedback here - I don't think the feedback /tells work across the pond, unless they've fixed that. And I hope you will forgive what I'm sure will be my awful butchering of the bits and pieces of French language I will try adding in my review.

Bon... uh... luck!

Mon Francais ce'st terrible, pardonez moi.

In fact, my French is so terrible that I think I will only understand about 5% of the text. I wish you bon chance with finding players to give you feedback, though!

Eco.

Although I play on the American servers and I live in North America, French is my motherlanguage. I will gladly do some of your Arcs. Actually, I think I might enjoy having the text and dialog in French.

À Bientôt!

Hi Kupun!

It's been a really long time since I spoke french. more than half my age. Just finding your arcs was a challenge - going into "More" search options, and changing the Locale drop-down menu to allow for non-English arcs.

I decided to try Un braquage Or-normes (#177513). L'Ascension is closer to HoF (just 938 votes to go!) but it has AVs, and I'm soloing. I will not much idea what is going on, but your summary lets me know I'm stealing stuff. That should work in any language.

The contact for this arc has no description in the Story Settings. You could add that, I'd see it when I try "Ask about this contact". Also, the level range varies a lot. You might like to use the feature (since I15) to set the level range. Since you have elite bosses, it'd be best on the high-side - you could have each mission limited to levels 46-54.
You could also select some Keywords for the arc, assuming Keywords exist for French arcs.
It looks like I'll be doing something diabolical and new. And after 20 years in the Zig! Oh, that must be my contact.
And on to the mission! Oh boy. I hope you don't mind if I don't spot your typos.

Jimmy's excited to be out of prison. He's got a new plan! It looks like he's put a lot of thought into it, or at least a lot of words, so I'll definitely sign up. C'est sur! Super
So there's merchandise, special... things, and esplosifs! Awesome. I can see the word "millions" too. And something about 20 years, I hope I don't end up in jail. Let language be no barrier to supervillainy!

I think trouver must mean "find/rescue". Or "steal". Same thing, I guess. Lots of stuff to steal. And I need to vaincre (vanquish?) the Chef de la Police! That sounds good to me. First up, it looks like I need to rescue Billy, the little brother of d'Ordell. Favorite son, I think. Has a katana and a sachet of superadine. (Ooh, ooh, typo! Superadine, not Superadyne). He calls Morse, another person I'm to rescue, oncle. I think I'm getting this! Three youngsters, their "uncle", and other... stuff.
As the police say nasty things to Billy, I feel I'm missing out on learning some really good street French. I free Billy. He looks... French. Oh. Billy's an Elite Boss, so he tends to annihilate anything we meet. Not great, but at least I don't have to care about him. He's a LOT tougher than his older brother, Ordell.
Woah. That was very... Tarantino. My allies took the place apart. Was actually fun to "watch", I really like the costume personalities you've created. I was beating on a baddie when all my allies ran off. Then the objectives rapidly disappeared one by one from my Nav, the mission ended, and the allies wandered back. I didn't actually see anything, but the sequence of events was surreal!

Mission 2! Diversion, surprise, and a bank - looks like fun! Ouais la ferme! The three kids will come along, I think. Ooh, it's a timed mission! Something about a lemon-flavored bomb (citron... explosif... I know I'm getting this wrong now). I teleport to the safe. My poor ally tries to follow on foot, and Pitre wipes him out. As I'm looting the safe, the mission exits! Oh, so I guess my ally was supposed to live. Heh. My return-fail message says "oO". I guess that's the same in any language. These crazy-eyes say, "oh well".

And then it was time for me to sleep. This is a VERY cool way to rediscover a language almost forgotten! Continued the next morning.

Mission 3, and I'm after a Russian called Sergei Borisky of the Red Family. He has a good stock of arms, I think. Well, time to go beat on the competition! Oh, the nav says parler, so perhaps speak to Borisky. I get to steal his arms along the way. And yes, "speak" was an approximation for what I did to the new chief of the red mafia organization. I'm not really sure where that got us, perhaps stealing the weapons, but now it's time to execution mon super-plan! See, it's not that hard to read, really.

Mission 4 looks like, uh, stuff, then more stuff, then ah! Billy is coming along. And something about 5 minutes! A timer?!
Oh phew, not a 5 minute timer. But Sergei is back. I guess that was the rushin' part. LorkWoft is back too, from the first mission! Bigger, but not better. It's like a reunion.
Sergei gets Confused, all done, just need to steal l'argent from the safe. Done! And out before the ambush arrives.

Mission 5. I have an escort already... Billy's here, and Jimmy. And I have to beat up Barry. First, I meet Piciotto Arnaqueur, but strangely he has nothing at all to say. I let him rest on the floor. Turns out to be several of him, perhaps his name got too fancy to be a key villain. Finally, I take down Barry. And there was twist with my contact! At the end, just for kicks, I get to escort Billy out. A strange last step, probably explained if I was better at languages.

Overall, really good fun. I liked the characters involved (visually, and sometimes I could understand them), and some of their behaviour was awesome. The big supervillains all having regular names was very cool. Right up to the biggest, baddest guy - Barry. Billy was funny in the first mission for being overpowered, but then his overpowered-ness overwhelmed later missions. Seemed to be mostly his shuriken of insta-kill. But I did like that he ran so fast! Good for an ally. I enjoyed this a lot. 5-starred in game.

Cheers, airhead

Arc: 379017: Outbroken See all your old friends in the Outbreak Tutorial sequel!
Arc: Coming Soon: The Incarnate Shadow Shard of Fire and Ice Mender Rednem needs you!

Thanks by playing it !
SPOILER FOR 'BRAQUAGE OR-NORMES'

LorkWoft are brothers ! The second borther, who know is bro' was killed, try to stop you !
When the contact say 'une balle dans l'citron' it's what Samuel L.Jackson say lot of time in movies in FrenchVoices (citron = lemon = head... ==> balle dans le citron = bullet in head).

The contact almost say, after mission2, that Morse killed Ordell and went to jail (but it was Billy who killed his borther and sent Morse to jail, to be the only owner of all their money).
The End is that every body want the money for himself, exept the Pitre (Pitre = Crazy + Clown).

I didn't know for the problem in mission two. I'll fix it !

EDIT : Maybe I'll try to translate all my stories ! But I don't know if it'll be possible to put a link when contact speak in french, to go to a website where it's whrote in english !
"L'Ascension is closer to HoF (just 938 votes to go!) but it has AVs, and I'm soloing" hu hu hu !
The french arc with most visitors is 450, and it's a farm arc... (no one french arc with story passed the 100views if I remenber correctly)

Thx a lot for playing it ! If you have arcs I could understand too, tell-me IG !

I played the same arc as well and enjoyed it quite a bit even though I didn't understand most of the language. I liked all of the custom models quite a bit, they were all unique and distinctive. The custom mob you added to <La Famille> seemed a little out of place, though you can rename standard characters now. I don't play on the french server obviously, so I don't know if the mob names are translated into French at all, but if they aren't, then you can do that yourself. I enjoyed recognizing little words and phrases here and there. The betrayal from Billy at the end was a bit of a surprise, especially because of the current bug where all allies follow you no matter what, so I took him to the entrance right away and continued on, not being surprised that he continued to follow me. I didn't realize he was hostile until we came to the next group of mobs and while I was tabbing through them, I ended up targeting Billy. I think Airhead covered most of what I might mention as well, so I'll just leave this short and say I really liked it. c'est tres bon!

Thanks a lot !
I hope you enjoyed ! =)
For the faction, it's because I always saw <La Famille> (in french it means 'the family', like in 'The Grandfather' movies) like the poorest faction in game... They are all with hat (or without hair ) and a suit...
Why there isn't one with moustache, without taste of costume, or a big boss ?
But because of Ko, I just added two guys (a Consigliere, and a Piccioto) It's like the french name. I don't know the english names...
=]

I can't edit, but, if some english in Union or Defiant want to do this with a traduction, I can make a hero there, so I'll can play with them ! =)
Tell me In Game, /t @Kupun,
And I'll answer soon !

PS : And I made my arc lvl 46-54 =)

Hi, I just came back from two month, just to say 'hello' and I saw that some arcs had some english comments, so I just come here to say thank you a lot !
The french version of AE and arcs have no evolution, no one play arcs in Vigilance I suppose... So I think I'll translate my arcs, or I'll delete one to make a new one in english ! =D
But I'm not bilingual yet ) so I think I have to wait...

UP !!!
If some of you want to play french arcs, there are two of them wich are Dev's Choices !
Come and HAVE FUN !

--Sorry for my english, I'm french--

Grats to both of you!

I'm surprised to see that Dr. Aeon can speak French though, unless he finished working on the Babel-o-tron.

I think he doesn't really speak french, because it's Avatea who test with us our arcs.
If he could speak french, I suppose he would test some french arcs before her.
PS : Thx to you !

Congratulations Kupun!

I enjoyed your villainous arc very much. Your heroic arc must be even better to get a DC. Well done!

Hi @Airhead ! Thank you !
I love my two arcs both of them. Avatea only tested DJ Pi's Ascension.
I hope I'll can show her the vilainous arc and I hope she will like it ! :]

[citation]Something about a lemon-flavored bomb (citron... explosif... I know I'm getting this wrong now). [/citation]
I wanted to make a joke with a famous expression of an actor I love : Samuel L.Jackson. In "Jackie Brown" he say sometimes "fouttre une balle dans le citron" (citron = lemon, but in this expression it's the head, so ==> Shoot the head)
