Yes, sorry. I saw “rate now!”… Then I clicked on the “E” of ‘rate’ word and as soon as I clicked the letter, BOOM there was a 2 star under my mouse. I tried to click on 5 but it won’t let me change rating!
Contact about threat, he will figure something out. Sorry 
No worries BrUnO, I’ll contact him and link him to your post. Thank you for letting me know, I was getting really worried because no one has contacted me about any problems regarding the pack. Hopefully can get it sorted out. =)
And that’s just why you should be allowed to re-rate an item…
Agreed, I mentioned that in my message to . Hopefully he gets it sorted out quickly.
Something similar happened to me. The ‘rate’ text looks like a button and as soon as you click everything is over. At least a two click system were you select your rating and then press a ‘confirm’ button would be nice.
I’ve been reading thread for a while now, I just don’t understand what your all arguing about.
it is simple, you have a talent, cratering models, textures, blueprints, or whatever, why not use it and earn money. it doesn’t matter if people do or do not know how to do the thing you are selling, all that matter is there value in it for someone.
I’m not connected to the game industry so I can only put into my line of work. I am a electrician, in my job I have very complex things to do and very simple thing to do, I have 10 electricians, yet our company hires cheaper labour to do the simpler tasks, why it’s cheaper and more cost affective, all the electrician I have are very capable of doing the simple tasks, but why pay someone $60 hour to do a simple task when I can pay some ells $30 a hour to do the same thing, then I free up my labour to do work that they are more suited to making a more efficient and cost affective
same as the marketplace. it shouldn’t matter if it take someone 5 minutes to crate something or it is a very simple task, all that should matter is it valuable to someone?, will it save someone time and or money?. if the answer is no to the 2 of them, than your wasting your time. there seems to be a lot of people complain about what is on the marketplace, rather being negative about it why not look at it as a new opportunity, why don’t you use your skills and crate products that each of you can uses and sell that. buy the look of it there seems to be a demand of it.
or look at my very stupid example
- you need trees for your game, you get payed $40 a hour
- there is a tree pack that is for sale for $60 on the market places
- can you crate the tree pack for less then $60
- if no and the quality is good, then buy the tree pack. if yes the then the pack is too expensive.
also I am what you call a hobbits, I cant do half the thing you guys can do, I always looking at the marketplace when new stuff comes out to see what is useful to me. every one has different motivation in buying things, I buy stuff to see how people do things. other person buys the same thing for anther reason, and the end of the day who care why people buy a product,
if had the skills i would be selling heaps is stuff on the market place.
Thanks for the shout out , I appreciate it! Post launch support is a policy I am looking to incorporate in all of my current and future packs whenever possible. A happy customer is a loyal customer, and free comprehensive update was just one of the many ways to make the customers happy and for me to show how much I appreciate them. =)
They should maybe run the items submitted to the market place through a tech department at Epic or something. Like have a handful of developers where the marketplace people can ask from time to time if the item is worth the money asked for in the submission. Tech people/Devs can better say if the 3D content is just beginner made and cheap stuff, or if it is difficult to create and worth the money. Right now it seems I can submit anything to the market place, tell the apparently non-tech people there how good it is, how unique and so on, and can hit it with a nuts price tag.
Right now it seems the market place people have really not technical background.
The ‘photorealistic landscapes’ for $150 and the background mountains for $30 are so cheap and easy to make, it is almost illegal to offer them for any money, that is if there was something like moral laws. I mean I would feel bad if I did it, honestly.
Stuff like that is really like selling glas beads for land back in the days when our proud country, the USA, was in its first steps.
that’s the point, some stuff for sale there requires you to merely be able to count to 3, and have price tags like it is the 8th world wonder.
A million youtube kids can do the background mountains for $35!
If there was only stuff there that requires talent and skills, no on would argue.
Well, do not get me wrong, I do not want to blame anybody, but there is the possiblilty, even if remote, that EPIC overlooked it, because they get 30% from each sale. The remote, even very remote possibility, I admit, is that EPIC was aiming at putting the market place up asap, and not when it is ready, to generate revenue.
And generating revenue is evil hé.
Price to high or any doubt -> just don’t buy. Its not like theres black magic or something involved that forces you to buy anything.

Oh wait maybe that african black wizard has spoken a curse 
Hello everyone,
I will disregard the ongoing argument and instead ask your opinions on something that I believe to be more related with the original purposes of thread.
It seems that the main concern here on the buyers’ side is not having enough information on what you are buying. can somewhat be remedied for visual assets with more screenshots, videos and so on. Being a Blueprint content developer however, I can understand that anyone who’s thinking on buying my system would naturally want to test it first since the usability of the system depends on your specific desires and the nature of your projects. I can relate to that, and just because I’m a developer it shouldn’t make me forget the perspective of a buyer. For that purpose, once it is released, I’ve thought of sort of like a trial system that is based a bit on trust :
If you mail me asking to test my system before buying it, and if you confirm here from your account on the forum that you’ve mailed me (of course I’d have to look how credible you are, so I wouldn’t be able to provide service for just anyone with a few posts-unfair as tho it is, still it would be better than nothing) I would give you a private link to download my system; you’d test it however you want and if you like it, you’d buy it on the marketplace. Providing service I would kindly ask that you leave a comment or review of the system somewhere once you’ve bought it (thankfully we do have a review system in place now for that : ) ), be it good or negative. It would help me the developer reach more people, increase the credibility of my system due to the reviews and comments it’ll get, and I’d be giving people without unlimited budgets to spend on their games a good service (myself being one, I’d be glad to do such a thing hehe). It would help the buyer in that not only would he/she get to test it, if he/she cannot test it due to credibility issues there’d be more reviews than many other systems around on it so it’d help make up their minds.
I realize I have absolutely no means of knowing whether you continue using it without actually buying it, still I will trust on my judgement on it since I can already name many people on the forums whom I’d trust with providing such a “manual trial” service. I value credibility more than the money I will make out of , so if I lose a potential buyer; say someone who’d normally have to buy the system to try it but he’d try it with trial and not buy it seeing as he will not be making use of it - then it’s all the better for both of us, I’m more glad that there isn’t someone who’s spent money on my product and is unhappy because of it.
I am an independent developer, is a small community with a promise for a great future for as long as we understand that it is building trust and credibility that we should focus on and not the amount of money that we will make from each other in short term. Someone gave the example of , how he does everything for free and how he ends up making a well deserved name for himself which in return opens up greater possibilities for him in industry. Personally for me the only gain I am hoping on making from venture that is the Marketplace is being able finish developing my game with what I’ll earn from it moneywise and hopefully building trust in people since is where I will turn to when I need to add people to my current development team, or if I need any help etc.
Anyway, what would your opinions be on me providing such a service ? Do you think it would be abused too much and I’m being too naive ? Do you think I should do it ? If it is successful it may open up the way of such trial systems for other BP systems as well which would increase the overall quality and usability of the Marketplace. - Oh and if you think isn’t the right place to ask just tell me, I can start a new thread for it. It seemed fitting for the original purposes of thread : )
If an individual content creator wants to go through the hoops for that then that is there prerogative. The problem is that such a thing should not be necessary to begin with. The new marketplace rating & comment system is a step in the right direction, but Epic still has a lot of work to give us the necessary information to make conscious purchases.
I agree with the rating per version, it simply has to be that way because products can improve with new releases. As to the web based market place, why does it not show all the images like the one from the launcher? Seems you get less info on the web based one… wrong way to go IMHO.
Here’s the problem dev100000:
You’re acting like you think you specifically have a right to dictate to everyone else in the community what is or isn’t good enough for the marketplace and how much they should be allowed to charge for it.
That makes you sound like either:
a) An arrogant and conceited person who gets off on bossing other people around, or
b) Someone with a severe anti social personality disorder, or
c) Someone who has a very real problem with substance abuse, or
d) All of the above.
It’s one thing to express an opinion and leave it at that. It’s another thing entirely to go on and on and on about it for four long pages. When you do that it’s not expressing an opinion anymore, it’s basically just harassing people and trying to bully them into submission.
But what do I know? Maybe you’re just a normal person who’s having a bad day and hasn’t seen before:
Speaking of which, it’s 2AM here… I guess I better get off the internet and go to bed eh? 
Hey all, thanks for the feedback on Marketplace features. Most of the great requests here are already in our plans to implement when we can, with the web marketplace being the latest step in that direction 
We launched Marketplace without a few of these richer items to be able to more quickly provide an avenue for content creators to get their goods to other developers and to allow developers to be able to pick up items for their games. We’ve come a long way since the initial release, and understand we have a ways to go Stay tuned for future developments!
You’re right in that actually, and considering will somehow end up torrented most probably, anyone who’d try to exploit it would turn to that if I don’t do such a thing anyway.
Thanks for the input, I’ll keep every opinion in mind : )
Son, at some point in your life, you will realize that no matter how good or logical your suggestions and worries are, or how good and honest your intentions, they won’t have any impact unless you prepare the ground for them with some noise
And also, Son, at some point in your life, you will realize that it almost always is a good idea to go to bed 15mins earlier 
In that spirit: I decided to publish a terrain pack, similar content as the other two in thread, for $10. A good and honest price!
Here is one that I did a few months ago. Not perfect, but I only play with UE4 in the spare time of my spare time. 50 of them for $10, incl. world machine files and full UE4 settings will be a fair price.
Then I think everyone should shut up for the next month. Then we can put all the terrain packs up against each other to see who was actually correct. Otherwise it will just be another 5 pages of arguments. 
Hey dev100000, we encourage you to not attempt to belittle other members of our community. We’re all here because we share the same passion for creating games 
let’s be cool to eachother
