    Track sharing and global leaderboards discussion -Hot Topic!

    Greetings all!,

    Well alot of posts keep cropping up about this particular sticking point in alot of peoples minds, so here is your very own stickied topic on the subject you can discuss and vent your feelings about it!

    (get it out of your system please! )

    Couple of rules so that i dont have to come in:

    -Keep the ideas rolling in! Stuff like track sorting/rating tracks is a good idea? for example
    -Opinions are welcome but throw in a negative with something constructive please
    -Suggestions that can help existing sites like the communites very own TrialsHD.net run by Gamescrub
    -Track stealing is also a sore but valid subject thats worth discussing here also if you like but keep it nice, someone might really love a track you did and be inspired to do something similar so it becomes a homage to that track creator and not theft!


    enjoy!

    Love from your Trials Moderator

    YES! - okay here it goes

    - Don't have to be friends with someone to get tracks
    - Replays of top times with date and GT
    - Better Track organization - so we don't have to use initials to keep all the tracks in order
    - Rate tracks
    - total users who have downloaded each track
    - top rated tracks and top downloaded tracks sections
    - Featured Tracks - maybe TOTD?
    - scores/times/faults (custom or otherwise) posted to a website - ( i.e. - leaderboards from our computers too)
    - permissions - settings for tracks to be set by user to allow for more than one creator
    - a way to share tracks with a specific person(s) without uploading to a centralized area - good for having friends test an unfinished track
    - more items per track > sharing more tracks


    That's it for now - i'm sure i'll think of more though

    hmm...

    - Custom user content tournaments (at least 3 or 4 tracks total)
    - In game top downloaded/rated custom tracks (nice idea loch)
    - DLC of customs (if no leaderboards or public custom downloads - devs should choose tracks)

    - Level Editor: AN OBJECT COUNTER

    here's a few more ideas


    - Search Function - search by: track name, Gamertag, difficulty, date, platinum time, leaderboard size & rating
    - Updates - notify when new versions of tracks become available and disable old versions from posting to the leaderboards - each update requires a leaderboard swipe obviously
    - Tournaments - multi track and single track tournaments - multi track like in the game (multiple track creators optional) and single track like the weekend challenges at trialshd.net -

    i'll keep thinking - there's more good ideas to be had

    One more idea:

    - View a custom tracks leaderboards before downloading it to see who's playing the track (overall list and friends list) and what their times are. Also view replays from this screen.

    Before I forget....

    Try to increase track limit. If there must be a limit, let it be based on total upload size ie

    60kb allowed, that way if I have 10 tracks @ 6kb each I can share an extra 3 tracks.

    I've got a good one-

    - a point system similar to but separate from global points - to rank custom track players

    Seperate sections on the (still hypothetical) server for skill games/racing and for tracks that can be raced multiplayer. (still hypothetical)

    Because the two greatest things to improve Trials would be a user track server and realtime true multiplayer live racing on tracks.

    You have those you have an unbeatable game.
