After getting a PayPal account and learning that people have a bit of spare change to spend I decided to start earning some of that change. I'm thinking starting small at first and in Halo 5 increasing pricing for better options in Forge. A fair price I think would be... $5? Give me as much detail on a map or kind of map you want made and I'll make it for you, after payment. And as an added bonus I'll even stream the Forging process on Twitch. That way paying customers will be able to watch their map idea being made and be able to contact me if they want something changed. So $5 and it's going to be a list, so first in line gets their map made first. You can always cut out and get your money back though but only within 24 hours, so I don't Forge a whole map for no reason. You can comission me below or in a private conversation, or over Xbox Live
Well $5 isn't a lot of money and I still have to do my own stuff as well. This way people who don't Forge can help out and it's a fun thing people can do. In my opinion
You really think people at a FORGING FORUM would pay someone to build a map for them. Trying really hard here to not be snarky with my response, there's a lot of things I want to say but won't. Blaze put it best. We forge because we love it. I'd put this idea to rest if I were you.
Or post this on Reddit - you might get a more positive response there; but not on a Forging site P.S. I'm now charging everyone per download of my maps.
I can do without the sarcasm and such guys, it was mostly for opinions on pricing and to see what people thought of everything that came with it. :I
Well...I'd imagine there are probably people out there that would pay to have someone forge a map for them. Charging more than $5 seems excessive since the game itself only costs $60. You'll definitely need to go to sites that aren't focused on forge to have any hope of finding people that are interested in this. There have been people offering to build other peoples maps for free on here before, and they're usually ignored because the people visiting here would rather do their own forging.
With members that have moved on from projects that need reforged (like say, they have a map on Awash that should be moved to another canvas), there's a potential "market". If Orion were to be picked up for HCS, and me not having the time to reforge it, I would have gladly dished out some cash to have it reforged. Hell, SaLoT's paid Redemption to reforge on of his maps in the past. Also, MLG paid Nexn to reforge Onslaught back in H3 for the circuit. There is a precedence for it, so please guys, don't harass the guy for asking.
Thank you. That's kinda what I was getting at as well. I know a few people who made a map on a canvas that doesn't do it justice and wouldn't remake it on their own time. Some Forgers want to make it and start on their next project instead of taking the time to remake a map they've already made.
That most assuredly never happened. The only thing I ever received for forging (besides being able to play with the pros, and contest prizes, of course) was being offered VIP access at events, of which I never actually had the opportunity to go to.
Does this need to turn into a big argument in this thread? I'd very much appreciate it if there was no more negativity in here.
Oh, my bad, I got a little fact wrong! I'm sorry! Shame on me for repeating the same story that I've heard spat out countless times from the great H3 forgers. You did get compensation for forging Onslaught though, did you not? I mean, if you didn't, then why have there been so many stories passed on that you did?
I know.... Its just so difficult to bite my tongue when I know some one is being catty with me, regardless how well Nexn worded his response. Freaking HCS needs to post their Season 2 stuff. Keep checking back here periodically to see if it's hit and join the chatter, but seeing nothing I'm left with idle hands... :/
