@cinder sable step 1: don't disrespect your customer when the said customer is having obvious issues
#fab
elfin plinth
but yeah, good response would be to explain that pack contains what was advertised and ask the person to contact the seller to solve the issue
now what I see is that seller is just bashing the customer
even if the customer got his issue resolved after writing the frustrated message, he/she'll sure not change the 1 star review after seller treats him/her like that
also, seller shouldn't take things this personal, if seller is too proud to reach out for the customer who's struggling with the asset he/she bought (with real money, mind you), things like these will remain unsolved in the future too
btw, the person who sent that frustrated review isn't just an account created to make fake reviews, same nickname has been posting on the forums too
cinder sable
I wasn't speaking about this specific issue, rather in general.
elfin plinth
that would apply in general case too, just drop a note to the customer so things get solved
even if the customer doesn't reply back, it shows on the review that seller cared enough to try to reach out for the person
cinder sable
I disagree... the seller reacted appropriately...
elfin plinth
There are some people recently dropping low ratings /fake reviews on my and other people's products. Please don't pay any attention to such fake reviews.
so, that's helping the customer in what way?
cinder sable
It might be fake because if the person had any skill they would know what was included... plus...
The dude was not seeking resolution...
elfin plinth
well, we have to remember that we have users here that might not know a thing about game engines
cinder sable
He was bashing
elfin plinth
doesn't matter, he was frustrated
I'm not saying the customer acted appropriately
I'm just saying responding with disrespect will not solve these kinds of issues now or in the future
cinder sable
Anyway, don't want to go around in circles....
I simply disagree with you... and, that's cool.

@ebon leaf Well it is nice to know you finally woke up!

Im with @silver moat on this.

https://www.cgstud.io/3d-model/duck-cartoon-character-30088 now, thats a duck
silver moat
To let buyers know that's a fake comment and I'm not ripping them off is not disrespect towards anyone.
That was actually disrespect towards the seller, in this case me, by saying I have not included what I'm advertising which means I'm trying to rip people off. And that's not the first time. Some time before that someone else was yelling in public my products aren't game ready and run at 10FPS, I tried so hard to help him but he constantly ignored my responses and continued spreading lies and insults. So I've had enough cases like this to know what's going on with people posting such comments. If there was 0.1% change he was frustrated he'd have entered the Support Thread instead of posting a comment and then never coming back to check if there's been any replies on his comment.
Sad fact is, if you disrespect anyone on the forums you either get banned, warned or something. But a seller is expected to tolerate such things forever.
If you have trouble playing Paragon and go on the forums insulting Epic not only they'd stop you but they'll have you leave that place and go to the proper place for support. Sadly, that's not the case when someone insults sellers at all.
Also, commenting section is for asking questions, leaving suggestions and generally anything but a place to try and scare others off. It's not.
Sadly, many do the mistake of thinking "Someone trying to ruin your public image and scare people off" is considered free flow of information. But it's not. We have support threads for a reason.

i get a re-captcha thing in the checkout phase of the launcher and it says i have to use a supported browser ๐ฆ
i dunno why there's a third party involved in these transactions to fuck things up
shouldnt paypal paysafecard etc have a more direct option
ebon leaf
@harsh coral weird... I wonder when that was implemented, because we still definitely get fraudulent purchases lol... What browser were you using?
harsh coral
i was trying to buy from the launcher
harsh coral
since it's not a launcher and the third party has a check now it's no go
ebon leaf
what payment method? Paypal?
harsh coral
a couple of months back there was another issue
i was trying to pay with paysafecard
still am
ebon leaf
@proven lily Might be worth noting the point above that @harsh coral has made and passing onto the UX team or whoever is responsible - using the launcher, it's possible to get a recaptcha during checkout that does not says the launcher is not a supported browser lol
@harsh coral I guess your alternative atm is to go via the marketplace in a supported browser. Somewhat ridiculous that you need to exit Epic's framework to purchase from epic's store though lol
harsh coral
i'm waiting for the processing of payment.. is this a joke?
"We are processing your payment. It may take up to 20 minutes for it to appear on your account. Thank you for your patience."
ebon leaf
Is that paysafecard giving you that message or the UE4 marketplace?
harsh coral
the third party that sits between ue4 and paysafecard
it's pretty wide spread at least here in europe and i didnt have any issues like that over the years that i used the service
i doubt Epic can do much except work with paysafecard directly if possible or change the middle man
ebon leaf
Yeah that's pretty annoying though.
proven lily
Hey @harsh coral, can you send a ticket in to marketplace-support@unrealengine.com detailing what you've experienced here so we can get a better idea of whats going on?

Can you PM me what email you used? I'll be happy to look this up so we can get eyes on it

Is the information here correct regarding the dimensions of the featured image? 894px by 488px? http://help.epicgames.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2592186-marketplace-submission-guidelines-preparing-your-assets#Submission Process
The currently featured images seem to be cut off at the top. Seems like the actual size is 640px by 288px, which is a different aspect ratio. https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace
ebon leaf
The inormation available is correct... but epic use the images in multiple situations, some of which those dimensions do not entirely match -.- Unfortunately, based on the responses myself and some other creators have got, there's no way around this other than to alter your featured image to make sure that the text and such fits into these multi-use scenarios. It's... kinda stupid
stark zinc
Ah, ok. That's good to know. Thanks.
I guess I'll just design my featured image to still look good when cut off.

vapid tundra
its a cycle. i offer a material export plugin ๐
ebon leaf
cant you just get the assest file from the folder?
I don't think there is a way to export that material so it could be approved by the marketplace team ๐
can't you just upload the .uasset file????
delicate dove
he's just a newb and didnt even check out the submission guidelines hehe
ebon leaf
yeah but why wouldnt they let you do that?????
delicate dove
because you need to send the entire project, and it doesnt hit any of the requirements
ebon leaf
so you'd have to have the materials as some kinda "bonus" I guess
delicate dove
no, you need a minimum amount of materials, and even then if its something as basic as this I doubt they'd allow it
ebon leaf
can you use a different site than the marketplace to sell it?
delicate dove
yea you could, but anybody who'd want to pay for this instance.. needs to see a doctor hehe
but yea, if it was an awesome high end material pack, it could sell

ebon leaf
Oh btw - unrelated to this above... something that seems to be popping up now that we have a little more control over our packs - people are changing their Public Seller Name a bit now (guessing people didn't realise it was possible until they checked changing product details)... Just a note - if you do that, ALL your packs will nolonger link to your seller page anymore, because the links do not update automatically so you ened to annoy @proven lily to get this fixed ๐ I've seen a couple of sellers who have changed their names and now you can't see what else they've made lol
ebon leaf
I changed mine a week or two ago... but I always check everything as soon as I change things so I knew straight away haha ๐
jovial thunder
You can add social media stuff now too?
ebon leaf
yeah
delicate dove
i do find it a bit odd you can change seller name so easy
delicate dove
complain about seller X, seller X changes name to Seller Y, crisis avoided. hehe
ebon leaf
@delicate dove lol yeah... should probably be a limit on that
It's not much good anyways... cause if you change your name it stays the same on the product pages ๐ that's the issue I'm talking about. Your seller page will changes from "Con Artist Chump" to "Dodgy Dev Guy" but on your product "Legit Scam Pack" it'll still say "Con Artist Chump" as the author, and link toa 404 lol
delicate dove
haha
scarlet wave
ponders how he's so good at coming up with "dodgy names"........... lots of practice?

if he wants he can do it, but I did suggest to get something he could use as a base instead of buying something he wouldnt use.
nova scaffold
nice reaction, I guess you've helped him with something
delicate dove
oh he asked me for the smoke used in my latest package, but its base is just the regular ue4 smoke. would feel wrong to tell him to buy the pack or sell the smoke if its identical
nova scaffold
depends whom you ask ๐
delicate dove
hehe
leaden root
I'll sell him the default UE4 smoke
pure kernel
Hey, I'm thinking about releasing a pack (more than the default ue4 smoke ๐ ) and I was wondering is just posting on the forums the best way to gauge wether it's worth it? And if it is, base the price on community recommendations?
delicate dove
currently generic smoke is so hot, id replace all materials with the smoke
and yea, thats a good idea, though dont undrsell yourself
wooden falcon
best way to gauge pricing is to look at similar items on the marketplace
and then undercut them!
j/k
pure kernel
I was thinking of making a cave set with smoke
real dust
As in
A mystical setting where everything is made of a thing veil of smoke
And if you walk into them the smoke puffs up
pure kernel
Sure, we can go with that ^^
real dust
And it's all just imagination?
Like, dark purple/blue/black smoke
With stars all around you
Wherever you look
pure kernel
I'm working on a complete landscape pack, but the prices seem to vary so much on the MP
real dust
It really depends on the quality tbh
pure kernel
Yeah, still working on the ocean one
So the idea of the pack is it's kind of everything needed to get a landscape set up fast. Auto material with the ability to paint. Ocean and lake shader, with rocks, trees, grass and foliage
All using photogrammetry
real dust
Can I see a shot without PP?
pure kernel
Sure, I'll just load it up
pure kernel
There is PP, I was just playing around with it mostly trying things out
real dust
xD
pure kernel
I'm still really new to adjusting things in post, and lighting and stuff
Just the PP disabled, lights left the same
real dust
Those rocks are done with photogrammetry?
pure kernel
The ocean has detail in the water, but right now the normal and tessellation are tied together, so they both fade to 0 over distance
No, rocks are temp
real dust
Phew
pure kernel
Only the landscape textures and foliage (- trees) are
pure kernel
No, i think that's the shadows being weird
pure kernel
Well, then I guess so ^^
pure kernel
Enhance
pure kernel
It is
pure kernel
Hadn't noticed because I had the PP on all the time
real dust
There's an issue with the grass
Being the fact that you're using tiny planes
You want your grass to probably cover more distance
So it looks more dense
Can you put a mannequin in there for scale?
Also, you're not allowed to resell speedtree stuff afaik
real dust
That's already better
pure kernel
Yeah I had it turned down to make sure it still worked
Because some grass looks bad if you turn the density down
I'll have to install the third person pack to get the mannequin
real dust
You can dwfinitwly scale the grass up a bit
real dust
That's way better
pure kernel
Cool, cheers
pure kernel
I'll take almost jealous, that's good enough for me ๐
real dust
Nevermind
I am jealous
Except now I notice the poor lighting on the fern
Actually
Just up your skylight a bit
@pure kernel
pure kernel
The bush on the left? or the little fern in the grass to the right?
pure kernel
Ocean has a bit more detail now in the distance also
real dust
That's good
And on the topic of that bush*
As I said, try to up the skylight
Because it's just that your shadows are really dark
pure kernel
That's actually something wrong with the bush itself, It's on the list to be rebuilt
It's just built with planes at the moment, would be nice to give it some real depth.
It's tiger striped for some reason, looks really wierd
pure kernel
So many things on the todo list ^^
So do you think it's a viable pack having basically everything in it, or is it too much? I've noticed that most packs try to focus on 1 part
real dust
Well
Odds are you won't do everything perfectly
But it's mainly just\
If the price is right and it looks decent people will likely go for it
pure kernel
Makes sense, now just to find that price ๐
shy phoenix
Guys, I currently have an approved pack waiting for a date to release, usually how much time does it take from approval to getting a launch date?
tiny stag
@shy phoenix Depends on queue i think.
wooden falcon
it can be pretty quick
ebon leaf
My last which released a couple of weeks ago - it was ~2 weeks from approval to getting a release date, and it released 3 days later XD
That said... I just had a pack approved for the marketplace in less than 48 hours so... looks like things are a little more well oiled atm ๐
jovial thunder
It is that fast now? My first pack took like 3 months from submission to release
ebon leaf
The last one wasn't (a few weeks ago). But... There's no blueprint packs on the marketplace in the recent content drop. Wondering if they are short in that category haha
jovial thunder
When was the marketplace search updated?
ebon leaf
It's been updated several times. THe most recent update seems to have been a stealth drop in the last week or so though not many of us are refreshing every few hours to check ๐
jovial thunder
๐ฎ
ebon leaf
most of the updates have been announced in the forums, though I dunno if the threads are still there now
ebon leaf
Hmm they've rejected a blueprint submission of mine that took me over 100 hours not that long ago. I doubt they're short in that category :S
delicate dove
just dont make any wires overlap :p

hmmm yeah... Care to share what that was at all? That's nuts =/
hmmm thinking about extending it at some point and trying to resubmitting it if that's even allowed so I don't want to share that atm
You're always allowed to resubmit. So good idea on keeping it quiet haha XD

It's a duck generator, and yes always allowed to resubmit

Hey everyone,
The marketplace team is hard at work on a number of upgrades and improvements to the Marketplace. Because of this, we really need to put our heads down and keep focused on the goals we have here at Epic. As such, we will no longer be available for marketplace business through Discord, or any unofficial channel. You can still reach us if you have specific needs by emailing marketplace-support@unrealengine.com or by posting in the Marketplace forums, but we will no longer be available here. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a private message on the forums or email marketplace-support@unrealengine.com.

just go to the lounge -- complaints all day -- same/same.
elfin plinth
so, upgrade and improvement is to reduce communication - sounds logical ๐
I'm guessing this is too public place to discuss the potential issues
oak thistle
I think it makes a lot more sense to be honest. It was ridiculous that for most of the last year, you had a much better chance of getting a response by going through an unofficial channel that probably most sellers didn't even know existed.
Remains to be seen whether communication via the official channels will improve of course.
wicked pebble
Having multiple sources to communicate through also removes efficiency, but this unofficial area is one of the most filled channels with people though.
real dust
It's easy to use and active
The official channels aren't
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
The ratio of issues people have helped me solve here to the amount of issues people have helped me solve on official channels is NaN
Because nobody ever helped me on any of the official channels
So I moved here ๐
And, ya know
Discord is open on my PC anyway
The UE4 forums and the like aren't
This is something I can look at quickly
oak thistle
I'm not comparing to Answer Hub or forums really. More just when you have a specific question to the marketplace team as a seller, it makes sense that it should go through marketplace email or Creator's Hub.
Although the latter has proved essentially pointless so far in truth.

I would like to know who actually review the marketplace content because there is people selling cars plugins etc with models not made by they that actually say in big SCANIA etc
Or at least they spot in the images models with that and the brand Name/Logo of an actually vehicles company

The marketplace would review the plugin, not the example project
Cause the example project is always linked externally
Thats what I would assume

As second part
the link the guy give in the marketplace
for the example project come with the actual sources of the marketplace content
so double win GG
There is no demo but the whole content folder etc excluded the source code for the plugin
Featuring files like VH_DodgeCharger, VH_M1_Abrams, VH_Scania164L pure gold

Epic is legally not responsible for the example project so they dont care

Mp?
oak thistle
Hmm, so there's a post by Adam on the MP forum about featured updates. It's marked as 10 days old, but I only just saw it and it has very few views, so I guess actually it only just appeared?
Or did I miss some previous discussion on this?
Restricting new featured to only 3 assets seems to be pretty much going in the opposite direction to the bulk of feedback I've seen, which is to share exposure as much as possible.
Oh, and apparently they used to feature stuff on seller request?!
ebon leaf
yeah wtf... that post seems bonkers.
no more community interest poll is a good move though at least
that said... new content doesn't really seem to get boosted on it's featured days so I don't think it matters much for the new stuff. And it sounds like older stuff is going to be highlighted more so... it might be good shrugs
oak thistle
Yeah agreed community interest was bad.
quartz acorn
Thank god community interest is gone
However I can't agree on their reasoning for changing featuring
Sort and Search updates were the basic ones and not that everyone requested. Dunno how current updates will actually help with discoverability. But still okay I guess, not something inherently bad
ebon leaf
Agreed. I don't think this is a good move... but I don't think it's necessarily much worse than it was before is all haha

were- implies human hybrid. Weretoad sounds like it works fine
wicked pebble
Aside from being a biped, what else does it share with a human?
Does it transform, as were creatures are shape shifters?
Werecreatures (also known as Therianthropes or Shape-Shifters) were the people of Lyssia that could change into various animal-like forms.
(plural werecreatures)
(rare) A shapeshifter that can change between human and some animal form, such as a werewolf or werebear.
Origin
were- +โ creature
While yes it means a hybrid, it also implies it can change forms.
Does it have the ability to change into a toad?
From what I've seen no, so that's false advertisement as far as I know. ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Lastly, if it was in fact some sort of creature that would turn you into one.. How did the toad infect a human? A bite? Poison coating? Some sort of measure unknown to us?
I'm reading a bit too much into it, but you know, it's a were creature.
And if you promise something you should deliver.

it's definitely OK. however, tessellation and displacement mapping is inordinately expensive on larger terrains, so a great deal of it had to be gutted
in the end the only thing i think we're still using is the skeletal structure of the material and the water caustics layer
i wish tessellation and displacement didn't cost 20 fps...but it kinda does. in fact i can't find a single asset of any sort that i can use that feature with, not even props
i tried it on a tree's bark. BOOM 20 fps gone
delicate dove
so.. .this just got rejected from the marketplace because its not PBR

its so bad 80.lv wouldnt even make a post about it

So is this channel just a bitch on items Channel now that epic has left?
Problem of the marketplace didn't just spring up it has always been that way

it was a bitch on items channel when they were here, too ๐

ooooorr...just don't read it? :/
it's pretty easy to ignore stuff you're not interested in
not trying to be a dick when I say that, btw

considering Epic ignores us when we point them out directly ๐

and sure, they say they don't listen anymore, but I bet a few of those Epic guys still check in on occasion
wicked pebble
So whoever wants to complain about complaining go ahead. ๐

Suggestions for good tree packs?

They should have trees
heady moth
Yeah, I think that's the most original tree pack ever
heady moth
I don't see a lot of asian settings, so that could be interesting
heady moth
Blossom trees are pretty
gloomy bramble
Would be hot
heady moth
Well I assume it's warmer in Asia than here atm
But yeah, I think asian settings would be nice
Or african
Just not our-terrain trees
ebon leaf
I think he might have been asking for recommendations on which one to buy not to make? I dunno ๐

I second the vote for more varied tree packs from different parts of the world though. Excellent idea.
heady moth
I forget there are sometimes other people than ranting marketplace sellers in here :p

you should buy my skull pack...I know they look like skulls, but they're trees, trust me :/

It does vary a bit depending on what Epic are doing/how busy they are I think
shy phoenix
gotcha, thank you!
ebon leaf
No worries ๐
real dust
The fact that Epic doesn't do anything with the feedback doesn't mean we should stop giving it
That's like saying people should've stopped asking for Volumetric Lighting two years ago when it was backlogged for the second time
That you don't get what you want doesn't mean you should let people do exactly what they want without opinionating
(In my opinion)
harsh coral
I don't understand why PBR materials have to be on a block-out level design tool.. seems like a waste of resource if anything
also I dont understand why everyone was promoting that produc so happily
wooden falcon
maybe they have some internal tool that autochecks materials to make sure they have all the PBR inputs
and since it's part of their check list, they just go "nope, no PBR!"
harsh coral
yeah that's actually what i've been thinking, it couldn't be a sane human
wooden falcon
but if it returns "Duck" it's good
harsh coral
searching for animals i see no duck
which is another thing that puzzles me
capable of making UE4 tech and not able to do a simple functional search / tag / keyword system...
wooden falcon

the UE MP feels to me like steam early days
where only the select few get in their special boys club
and now look at steam.. you can put literally anything on it

yeah well the duck
wooden falcon
I mean, you can't buy marketing like that ๐
harsh coral
i don't really see where the problem is, apart that it wont sell well because its a hard fit for any game
maybe if you're making a Five Nights At Freddy's kinda game it could be usefull ๐
wooden falcon
Maybe if it was a pack full of duck variants, it wouldn't be bad
harsh coral
i personally wouldn't put it on the marketplace
wooden falcon
but it seems to be pretty minimal effort
harsh coral
and my skills are below that
harsh coral
that's what a personal problem of mine with packs like these
just one or a few pieces
and most of the time you can't find the rest of the assets you need to fit the style
I was looking at your material pack a couple of times @wooden falcon
harsh coral
i like the first pack and the fact you updated them
harsh coral
ok np
wooden falcon
and thanks para ๐
tribal jackal
Ooh, a good pack would be a 'Small Insects & Animals pack', mostly used as background/small insects on the ground; like spiders, etc. It could come in handy when it comes to adding in details in environments
See if that duck was included in something like that, I'd definitely buy it
silent shoal
Little hint for everyone, who got rejected, because materials is not PBR: just connect scalar parameters with default values (like 0.5 to roughness or 0 to metallic) to all PBR inputs and it will solve an issue. When I was in process of publishing my first pack a year ago, I also got such comment from MP team and solved it like that. It useful, if you have a solid color material, for example.
oak thistle
I don't know much about materials at all, but that sounds like Epic requiring sellers to make their materials less performant in order to get accepted!
tiny stag
Did someone get any replies from Epic those days?
silent shoal
@fringe marlinrann#7656 I don't think that making a customizable scalar/vector parameter will affect a performance a lot. They want only PBR materials (which is fine) and it's a minor disadvantage to require this even for simple materials in order to execute a rule without any exceptions. Otherwise, I guess they will need more complex rules -> more time to check everything -> fewer assets to release.
harsh coral
+1 for insects & animals pack
butterflies, bees, grasshopers, ants, spiders, ... chickens, pigs, boars, cats, dogs, all kinds of common birds
strange lack of animals on the marketplace
delicate dove
a friend of mine wanted to do a small hand-drawn-ish critter pack. mostly really small things that dont require 3d. like ants, small spiders, etc.
harsh coral
yeah, can work well
I've seen cockroaches and ant's beeing made as an animated texture or with particles
delicate dove
livid crater
@harsh coral for animals would you go for stylized or you prefer realistic?
delicate dove
wouldnt be too hard to add simplistic animations to em. but actual movement would be overkill
harsh coral
I'd prefer realistic
I'd buy quality animals in an instant
since i can use them in so many situations
livid crater
isn't there one with foxes and bears
delicate dove
^ +1
harsh coral
there is, it's a bit expensive and it's only a few of the animals i'm after sadly
quality is good though
atm i'm sourcing them from turbosquid
results vary wildly
delicate dove
wildly is still an understatement hehe
harsh coral
hehe ye
can't really use them in a single game all together, but occasionaly I find use for them as bg elements for some renders (not game related)
@livid crater are you the guy who made the swan and hawk and others ?
livid crater
no
only animal i made was a dog and it was stylized and not for marketplace XD
oh and a sheep
harsh coral
a sheep would be nice also
fleet garnet
It seems like wait times for submissions got longer, my first plugin was processed in around 20 days but my new one is taking around a month and a half.
livid crater
oh noo, just made a submission 3 days ago ๐ญ
harsh coral
basically domestic/farm/wild animals is what i'm looking for, mostly the common ones you can find all over the world, since i can use them the most
delicate dove
with basic animations. I dont expect them to do all the moves a real animal would do. additionally, an animation pack that extends on the basic animations..
i could see that sell rather well
delicate dove
and again, an additional pack for stylized/toon versions of the animals
harsh coral
walk, run, idle, eat, attack if applicable
delicate dove
yea
harsh coral
it would make sense to split model + basic set and an additional set
some people might only need it for a bg element and dont require all the aditional animations
or any at all
.. oh and in the meantime if anyone considers buying stuff from turbosquid...
make use of their online help system, you can chat with someone and get them to open the file in 3dmax for you
and can answer questions provide additional screenshots
it's a must if you dont want to buy a cat in a bag

@tiny stag In my experience, they prioritize things based partly on whether or not it's something they can easily answer right away.
At least I hope that's their criteria.
But yeah personally speaking, if I get an answer in 3 days I'm pleasantly surprised.

they announced that the new content feature cycle was ending. Now they are featuring 3 new items, 3 epic picks and 3 others (could be random, might be themed, etc.)... looks like they removed that thread too though

@ebon leaf Stupid question but where do I put the license?
ebon leaf
Just in a text file with the download, or something on the product description, etc. Just so you are covered legally.

Ok, thanks. Never sold anything outside Ue4 MP...

ebon leaf
sorry for that
oak thistle
No apparently it's also for abusing people who are unsurprisingly fed up of continued incompetence and bizarre decisions, which seems to be the sum total of your contributions.
And unstickying such a significant announcement so soon is effectively the same as deleting it. It means it goes by largely unnoticed by most sellers, which was the only point I was making.
oak fiber
Well I'm glad you have my contribution summed up nicely for me thanks
heady moth
public entity i mean that they're public and not hidden somewhere, a lot of people use the marketplace and what they do affects a lot of people including sellers and buyers so they have a public face
oak fiber
Public facing businesses don't automatically become public. They offer you things in a public space there still a private companies so whatever they decide to do is their right to do. You all seem to be complaining about epic the company yet still Patron the company. That is indeed your right as a consumer. It is also your right as a consumer to complain about the company when they're doing practices you don't agree with.
The question is is it okay to only come here and b**** about the negative things? We don't all work in the marketplace we use this channel as a place to touch base with what's happening in the marketplace.
It has literally become such a b**** fast that it seems to have sparked epic to even just leave.
Everyone can play that out however they want but at the end of the day a company hearing nothing but negativity endlessly from a single outlet is probably going to stop listening to that outlet.
And while some of the concerns are legitimate a lot of it is mostly wrapped in noise and hyperbolic hate.
It also doesn't help that people don't understand how businesses work nor how they work differently between countries.
heady moth
I am not talking about a public company, and this has nothing to do with different countries, the way they handle communication is just plain wrong.
oak fiber
Then you should stick to that statement
heady moth
What's happening is exactly what's being written
oak thistle
Your description bears no resemblance whatsoever to how this channel has been for the past few months, and on Slack before it. It's far more likely that Epic left because they realized it just made far more sense to communicate through official channels.
Well anyway by far the most bitching and spouting has been coming from you, so I guess I'm gonna make you the first person I've ever bothered to block. Maybe if enough others do the same you'll take your desperate attention-grabbing moniker and flashing avatar and go attack people elsewhere.
oak fiber
Actually that's exactly the description is channel ever since it started. I've been here and Slackers ever since day one
So trying to tell me how it's been from your perspective is great and all but that's your perspective
Just like when I laid out is my perspective.
Not for nothing but there's only a seemingly a couple of you who seem to b**** about my bitching about you bitching
So yeah maybe they can all block me feel free do what you need to do bro but at the end of the day epic isn't here you all keep bitching and a lot of people are tired of listening to it
wooden falcon
that's such bullshit
while there were complaints, all I ever saw was "you guys are great"
no body was ever trashing on the Epic employees themselves
well, I doubt Epic the "entity" decided "screw you guys, I'm going home!"
you seem stressed out, have a duck: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/little-yellow-duck
oak fiber
Considering they said screw you guys we're going home.... lol?
And nobody said employees. Epic the entity.
wooden falcon
well, they basically said that it made no sense to sit in a channel and process random requests when they already have a forums and ticket system to handle that
and I kind of agree on that point, even though it was nice to get immediate response
but in the end, they were only serving a very small fraction of MP sellers who would come to this channel

That's pretty bad but I'd argue that there's way worse out there

something i got from the marketplace thinking i'd save on development time, and have a more proper system then if i'd make it myself.. cause someone who knows his stuff is doing this profesionally
.. i know there's worse out there which is why i'm scared of buying and more bp's
i can deal with a missing roughness map.. i can see it from the screenshots

My personal favorite has seperate classes for something which should just be changing an int.
But I can't really criticize it, because its not like BP never drops variable values

direct transfer to my account* (as in: without PayPal)
Or, in short: what are the pro's and con's for each of the 2 cases
lean venture
I was under the impression they all do
livid crater
Mine doesn't charge a fee either

Just walk into your bank and be like, yo, listen
Ah, if you're doing a currency exchange
then
iunno
lean venture
I intend to, on Thursday, but from what I've heard, they're going to ask me what bank is going to make the transfer, like who's going to pay me, because they have different fees
fleet garnet
it is usually a very small fee
lean venture
But I won't know anything more than that until Thursday so that's why I thought I might as well ask in here
I'm not particularly interested in a currency exchange I guess
- there's another thing I'm brainstorming, but I doubt I'll find more info about it around here: I've also heard here and there that if I leave my money untouched in my PayPal account, I don't have to pay income taxes for it
But as far as I know, that can be a very country-specific thing
lean venture
@viral zinc @leaden root @harsh coral I intend to add a second module to the UWorks plugin, an OnlineSubsystemUWorks module which would implement Steam as an OS the way I believe it should be implemented. I don't agree at all with their current implementation
leaden root
That sounds really nice
lean venture
I don't agree with how they split their ThirdParty binaries and headers in 2 places either, but that's not in my power to change. The least I can do is have my own plugin self-contained
Thanks! But I also intend to raise it to 110-120 after I add the OSU module and another utilities module or something
Probably 110

@wooden falcon Yes, I've updated my ticket early Friday and I still haven't gotten a reply. It's almost as if they didn't work at all during weekend or on Labor Day ๐ฆ
I actually wish I had any idea what their average response time was, for a code submission
ebon leaf
they don't work on weekends or holidays ๐

What a surprise lol

their response time has usually been pretty good...but not lately (at least in my experience)

there seems to be something going on with the Marketplace at the moment, but I couldn't say what it is

They said they have been working on making things more transparent with community.

@ebon leaf @obtuse wren it's not as black and white like that if it's a code plugin
and I don't think even sellers know the correct terms
EULA mentions that code plugins are or can be per seat
but it's really oddly put
