Uplay Recommended Track Drop #42 | Forums

[JoeRegular]

Funk..I saw about 3 versions of your post above last night and can only come to the conclusion you're delusional man. I think those likes on TC have truly messed you up and your admittance that you build largely for the Recommend Feed put's you at odds with the philosophy of most of the builders who come here.

That's my opinion anyway and you can chuck it in the bin if you like, it's not meant as a character assasination or an attack. I spose I thought maybe being blunt enough with you would make you realise that you're coming at this all wrong....give you a different perspective that'd ease your mind a bit.

I've seen you complain enough that you have trouble getting your thoughts out onto the screen clearly enough, I have the same problem. Somewhere in all the aggro that you've surrounded yourself in here there have been people trying hard to help you integrate better into this community just because they can see you love the game...nobody tried to help you for your sparkling personality and cool, dry wit.

I'm not gonna keep on, you're right that I don't have to read or respond to your posts. I just wanted you to know that no matter how snappy or hostile some of the posts to you have been, there have always been people here that are welcoming and accepting of new folks into the Trials community and they did try with you.

Great picks this week keep em coming!

[RetiredRonin]

Is it now gonna be a regular thing that half the tracks picked or to complex for 360? as we only got half the picks again

Due to complexity restraints on that console it is most likely that there will be less tracks that are able to run on Xbox 360 that will be cross-platformed.

good to see vagas and swamp up there nice one guys

Never talked to Swamp (that I recall) but Vegas can be pretty cool when he wants to be. He can also be like me (highly opinionated and stubborn). Hope that doesn't offend you, Mr. VEGAS!

Just a quick question ? is fg really you or maybe some friend or family ?

I guess it's possible that he (maybe she) is a long lost relative, but if so I am currently unaware of any genealogical parallels.

As for seeing again the same fav builder getting recommended with again a lesser rated track. I guess 1800 who liked my track were wrong then shifty , guess 1800 people didnt really enjoy the track and the same amount on other platforms wouldnt either. Its rediculous to keep recommending the same builder on ps4 when there is other tracks that constantly rate higher all the while , including my own. Having a fav builder auto get recommended before thier tracks even come out is awful to everyother builder in tc and before i continue because i cant be bothered with thi , one more thing tho .

I'm not saying that anyone who likes something is wrong. Well... there are certain things that I would say are wrong, but none of them have to do with a person's selection of tracks in Trials. What is wrong:

a) That you are on some kind of blacklist.
b) That I make all of the selections (I haven't had time in probably over a month).
c) That Uplay Recommended is about how a track is rated on Track Central.
d) That the amount of selected tracks by a user should disqualify them from having other quality content shared.

How can you justify recommending almost everyone of fgs tracks he puts in tc?. When there is other that by your own rating system in track central telling you on a constant bases that there is other tracks that other tcs would also enjoy. I dont understand your over endulgment to this creator one little bit and doing as you do is disrespectful to my self and other builders who continure to regulary build for your game with also decent quality tracks. You have stated to me many of time that the system is fair and works so that in its self shows you that your choice of selecting fg every track is unfair and other tracks with more likes or higher rated should be considered. Because after all by ur own admission track central works and tc rates other tracks better quality sometimes other than fgs. Its annoying to know that as soon as his track pops up in tc , your track has no chance of being recommended and that even before u play it. Im fed up with you just wiping any creation of mine under the carpet for the same builders , never mind how well they do or how much fun they are. Yes the recommended is a choice you do for the game but its a choice everyone should be equally open too but giving an auto slot to one creator is just wrong

You finding Uplay Recommended tracks that are not yours (how many have you had?) disrespectful towards you isn't an issue that I will entertain. I'm sorry to put it like that, but I think it needs to be clear. My opinion is that posts about how one of the selections should not be made because it is not one that you have built is something that I find disrespectful. There was a gentleman's agreement in the old RedLynx Picks threads that if you want to recommend a track, that it was a track a different builder has made. You seem to want all of your tracks to be made cross-platform based on the amount of "likes" they get on Track Central, and that's just not how Uplay Recommended works.

I don't recall saying that Uplay Recommended was "fair" any more than saying that a group of people making decisions based on subjectivity is fair. Uplay Recommended is HIGHLY subjective. People from RedLynx add tracks they like to a list. Occasionally a track is vetoed, but I think that has happened twice in the last year and it's not something any one person can do.

I would would like to clarify that there are some amazing builders who have had NO RECOMMENDED TRACKS who don't seem to be angry about it. You have had at least 3. If you think that every track you make is going to be in that feed, then you are unfortunately incorrect and setting yourself up for further disappointment.

One thousand eight hundred people told you that a track i created was fun and enjoyable how can u then even try to dissagree with one thousand eight hundred people over another fg track. whatever

Not disagreeing, that's their point of view. Uplay Recommended is our point of view on content that we want to share for all players. The track you are talking about with 1800 likes wasn't one of them for this week.

( nothing is aimed towards fg , i like his tracks and think they are of great quality , but dont think everyone hes creates shoudl be recommended over mine and others )

We all like different things, sir.

I do understand that some of my post may have come across harshly or even a little condescending, but this isn't the first time we've had this argument. It IS an argument, if it were a discussion then it would be different. If it didn't happen 80% of the time that you do not have a track cross platformed, then it would be different. But it isn't different, it's the same thing nearly every time and it is unfair to the creators who have been selected, and it is unfair to the other people who use the forums.

From my point of view it is belittling the other track builders.

The feed is not called "High Rated Tracks", there's already a feed for that. This feed is called Uplay Recommended. It is tracks that we recommend. I think that enough would be a sufficient answer, even if it isn't the one you like.

@Funk

I think it would be highly beneficial for you to maybe steer away from worrying about Uplay recommended.

If you enjoy making tracks, then that's great and you should keep doing it. But if you keep wanting Uplay recommended then as you've seen you'll only be disappointed (not saying you won't get one in the future)

If you just don't even think about Uplay recommended and do what you enjoy, I'm sure you'll get a Uplay recommended if your tracks are worthy.

Good luck!

Meson has horrible performance for me on PS4. The second half of the track pretty much plays in slow motion; an unfun, splashy mess.

Thanks for reporting. We've done some further optimizations to this track and reuploaded. Let us know if you still see performance issues.
