A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE:

I figured this would go without saying, but it's been happening more and more frequently lately:

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT UNTESTED & POTENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE TRACKS!!!!

I have had several people submit impossible tracks to me via XBL messages asking me to test them and rate them for the Ninja Leaderboard lately... after wasting a bunch of time on them I finally send a message back saying something like:

"I can't pass X obstacle - have you verified that all the obstacles are possible in the editor?"

...only to get a response like:

"No I haven't passed that one, but I've come close. I figured you could pass it since you are so good at the game."

While the compliments are flattering, just because I'm a very good Trials player doesn't mean I can pass obstacles that are F*CKING IMPOSSIBLE.

I can't believe I actually have to explicitly make this request...

It would be greatly appreciated if you could TEST ALL THE OBSTACLES in the editor and make sure they are POSSIBLE TO PASS before submitting a track for the leaderboard.

It is truely sad that that you had to actually had to make that statement... You'd think it would just be common sense.

I would say make a requirement for a video to be made for the track, or each individual obstacle made into individual tracks and completed with videos.

Idk if thats too much to ask for. But its really up to you Malachyte. I would vote for it if you want some opinions

^^ I dont have a capture card, and i guess lots of people dont, so not many tracks would be making it through.

However, when i create a track i create one section at a time and make sure i can pass it, thus it is possible, this also means i wont be creating anything above a lvl 3 lol.

i find it hard to believe some people build beyond their own skill level.

When i build any track i always 100% make sure everything is passible, i probably test every checkpoint 100's of times. People are probably just trying to get their name in lights saying "hay, i've made the hardest track EVER!!!!", when they should just be trying to make a decent track with good lines.

If you can't finish your own track, don't upload it. Sorry if this seems abit strong, its mainly aimed at people that don't play test, and only add a few object to what's there and call it a track. I know many people work VERY hard on their tracks and really push their own skills.

Great job on the videos Malachyte. Kind of sux it is almost impossible to get some of these tracks to play though. Should be a requirement to get a track on the leaderboard that they share the track with others that would like to get involved.

I dont have a capture card

I dont either. I use a regular camera. I stack a bunch of stuff up in front of my TV, sit the camera on top and record that way.

If you dont have a camera, or smart phone, or something to record i dont see why not. If your on this leaderboard im sure you want to contribute to videos as well, not just making tracks.

Idk. This all depends on how Malachyte wants to go about things. Its all up to him.

You both have valid points, but I think there are lots of great creators out there who either don't have the means to record and upload replays or they just don't want to bother.

BlazingDude123 for example I don't think would have become known in this leaderboard if I didn't start uploading my replays on his tracks - same goes for Spargokuroth.

I don't think the 99% of creators who play by the rules should be "punished" because a handful of idiots try to submit impossible tracks. Hopefully if I keep reminding people that this is against the rules they will catch on...

Which tracks are you referring to?

It's going to happen sometimes that someone stops playing Trials altogether, so they also stop rotating tracks. It also happens (unfortunately) that flash drives go bad stop working, so tracks can be lost this way too. It would certainly be ideal if all the tracks were always available, but it just seems like that can't be possible 100% of the time.

If you can't finish your own track, don't upload it. Sorry if this seems abit strong, its mainly aimed at people that don't play test, and only add a few object to what's there and call it a track. I know many people work VERY hard on their tracks and really push their own skills.

I completely agree.

I feel like that post of you raging because of people not even beating there own tracks is because of BAHA WAHA because ive talked to him and he doesnt even beat his tracks, he says he just gets close and submits the track. One of his new tracks An afair of box, he had me play and i asked him if he even beat the second obstacle and he said "no" and then i started yelling at him because he shouldn't be making tracks and submitting them if there not possible. I did beat the obstacle after about 30 minutes though but then gave up because the tracks just had more obstacles that he didnt beat. So i wouldn't Post anything of his in the leader boards at this point, because he doesnt test his tracks, and make sure there possible.
