lately i've been seeing preset requests brand new ones that no preset makers are replying too. i find it out don't people check i mean i just put out preset request for something and my friend put out one 3 days ago for warrior cat preset an no one ever ansered.
I literally don't get why people aren't really checking or looking or even offering to make presets for people presets.
it's come to my attention that literally no one ever seems to anser a majority of preset request threads in the request preset section i want to know if anyone has an idea as to why?
-
There may be multiple reasons as to why this is.
1. No one has the time aTM since school will be starting back up.
2. Everyone is full on requests
3. The request is to difficult for someone willing to do it for free
4. People have been looking at the threads but none has gotten their attention or they see none they are willing to do.
-
well that sucks oh well guess i'm not gonna be able to findsomeone to do my preset.

Perhaps is you offered something in return such as art or DA points theyd be willing. There are threads for free requests.
-
i don't have anything to offer sorry. it wouldn't be something i could do. besides i am not good artist why do you think i'm asking people to do it for free can't afford to do anything i have DA but i ahve no points not art on it and nothing i'm not talented so no one wants my at i'm just looking for some who literally make me an arc reactor on oe of my ocs well two but no ones really offered too.
i'm not really willing to pya for it either and free request threads well i wouldn't use them unless they could ironman's armor.

You've got to remember that you're asking busy people to make you something that takes time, for free. You can't get mad at preset makers if they don't jump at you with offers when you request a preset - it isn't their job and they don't have to make them just because someone wants it.
-
I usually check into that section. o: I think it's just many people want to learn to make their own presets now as well... Yet it's fun to see the work of others. ~ ;w;
-
To be completely honest, it may have something to do with the fact it is a warrior cat character.
In my general experience, they are a dime-a-dozen and very few actually have serious character development. I wouldn't want to take time out of my life to make a free preset for someones character that I don't even know they will keepor use.
It could also be the entitlement attitude I pick up from some of the posts there. You don't deserve these presets, they are handouts from the goodness of people. I find many just post a reference and say plze do this one kthx.
I wouldn't answer either.

I agree with that point very much. Often that's the reason why I don't do presets for anyone else anymore. I have made a few presets for people but they are usually never serious about it and in about a month, if you're lucky, they stop using the preset. Often these presets they ask for too are very complicated and take alot of time to work in certain fine details. It's a nightmare to think you could spend a few good hours of your life helping out some random person just to make them happy who will not appreciate your work and just let the preset rot. Another thing is that I notice most of the people who ask for presets are listed as "newbies" with little posts. I don't like to judge but the moment I see that it puts up a warning sign in my head that this person might not be the type to stick around the forum or to a preset you give them. I feel better making presets for long term users, people I can trust will appreciate my work. I could care less for rewards for doing it but I at least want to know that my preset is going to a appreciative and serious player. Lastly I have skimmed through a few of those preset requests and I notice some people over do it with the amount of detail they want on a character... then on top of it all they have the nerve to complain if you did something wrong on their preset or precious Fursona.

Nail on the head.
I personally have yet to make any presets for anyone else (and it doesn't look like it'll start anytime soon), but I have given away a few maps for some organized groups, a few of them being warrior cat roleplays, and I find them dispersed within a week and with a masterpiece of a map at disposal. I remember being harped at by one of the clan leaders over the placement of the river and how far away it needed to be from the dens or something of the like. I don't have to help you, nor be perfect.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
-
Really, think about it. ARE you going to kill people to get the preset? I mean, come ON! You're not going to keep the preset long, are you? And, if you're complaining about a TINY little mistake, DO IT YOURSELF.
Yeah, i'd agree with you. It's a waste of good time! I WAS going to make maps for people, although i'd trick e'm by doing the opposite if it were me.
-
I'm not trying to sound harsh or anything, but I seriously doubt anyone will offer to make you a free preset, unless you give them something in return. If anything, why don't you learn how to make a preset? I personally wouldn't be able to help you in that field, but check around the fourms of even Youtube. Plus, It's the school year now for most, and no one really has the time for things like this anymore. The bulk of the FH commununity does happen to have lives you know. (Even I do xD)
I even found a video of how to make one.

I can't help but echo the other's words! I do take an occasional gander there- and would happily try to help if it's a unique, but simple, request-... And if I'm aware that the preset/character would be used for many, many, many months. Sadly, it's rarely the case; it's often incredibly detailed (and realistic!) presets required for short-term use. They're certainly possible- but the most complex ones can take up to 10 (or much more!) hours of work.
The self-entitlement's a little off-putting too, apologies; I'd happily help with complicated requests if something substansial was offered in return! :D

Recently I've been taking preset request. But now I have them up the gazoo. 13 to do.
I mean, I love doing presets. I don't care if I'm paid or not. The thing that does bug me like LordSuragaha said is that, eventually they stop using them. Admittedly, I've done this quite some time. When you make over 100 presets, some get left behind. I may not use them in game seeing as you can only have 12 slots (Which man do I wish you could have so many more) But I do use quite a lot of them in my videos I make. It does upset me to find that the presets I've spent hours on go to waste. Even when I'm loaded with coding ones.
As i hate to admit it, I do have to start charging DA points for presets. The thing is I set up this weird system. Simple presets = free. Anything else is a point added. I really don't like having to charge people for them, but again, why should I have to take hours out of my day just for someone to have a preset they may use 1 month, till they grow tired of it and use another.
There are a lot of preset makers out there. I've noticed them. And to see how many people improve is great. After time, after so many presets, you improve. You can make the design yourself. The preset yourself. And then you can smile proudly when you say "I made it myself".
And uh... That's pretty much my input. As much as I know some of my presets won't be used anymore (Happened quite a lot with me) I can't stop making presets. It's an addiction -shot-. And I probably won't stop. Cuz at least I use my personal presets. Maybe not in game. But all of them, somehow, someway, are included in the videos I make. And I think that's enough for me.
-
I make alot of presets, and my requests are closed currently due to stealing, claiming etc. I wish people would just request presets they want, and not for the hell of it ;n;
Also, I get alot of people referencing from other's art and characters. It's really ticking me off.

Is it possible for you guys to keep the registration open for more than 5 seconds? I've been hearing about new people trying to make an account and not being able to due to the time limit being 5 seconds.

Please keep on topic.
Registrations open at random and stay open for about 2hrs when they open. If you just so happened to catch registration right as it was closing that's why it seemed like it was only open for 5 seconds or however long you claim.
