Track central, no quality left?????? | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

Hey guys, been playing trials evo over the weekend as I usually do love the creator, love the game, like everyone, however I have noticed a insane amount of tracks being released that are pretty much a absolute joke!!!!!! I don't mind people getting on there and might not be really good at it everything straight away but still give it a proper go. What is getting to me is these guys that get on there and put up a example track, put two original objects in and claim it as their own???? Wtf???? Then release it 5 times in 20 mins???? Or I saw a few people over the last couple weeks release over 10 tracks all lasting 5-10 secs and push the creators that have tried out and quality tracks are lost and never had a chance!!!! Im still learning myself and think I'm a average to good creator, but I give it a go and try to release something great for everyone to enjoy!!!! If u are using the editor, spend the time to do something decent please, DON'T overload track central with one track released 7 times, or a track where u drive 2 metres and it ends, oh and that's not a skill game!!!! Red lynx need to get on top of this, my suggestion would be maybe each player can release up to 1 track per week, that way track central will be clear and if players are spending a week on a track, it should be half decent!!!!!!!!! All u creators out there, that bring quality to the table, I applaud u, ur the ones that keep me coming back for more, I pretty much don't want to look in new trials or new skill games anymore as I know the quality I will get.......... Absolute trash!!! And that's a shame, I hope that red lynx can come up with something to clean this issue up, great game, love it, but this is a major issue, cheers to everyone that supports this, cheers

I think the example tracks should be made look but not touch. This way people have to create somewhat original tracks. But we will still probably get a plethora of just a random driving line with a jump every 500 feet.

Quality that gets pushed off the face of the earth

i agree with this. i recently posted my first complete track online, which i spent a lot of time with testing, tweaking building (the skate park alone took me hours and hours to build) for it to be pushed off the new trials list within about an hour. meanwhile all these other complete **** tracks get more downloads, and even good ratings for them. im now struggling to try and promote my track for more downloads/ratings which is annoying because i know its a legit track.

i had to sit through somebody elses pure torture of a track with no checkpoints and wonky obstacles and level design in the hopes he would rate my track as well. never again.

heres a video link i made today if you are interested.

i fully intend to be one of the better level designers once i learn how to do more complex stuff and this one ive done is a lot better than the average track i would say.

Here's a video showing why we have so much junk on track central. http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=7PnDtnr4NyY
Specifically #4, the other maps are all fine. Number 4 isn't even that bad, but still.

Agree. Thread name comes across a bit misunderstood unless you read the topic lol.

So many amazing tracks out there, but most have slipped into the aether of TC...
You might like to take a look at my database, been trying to make sure we never lose the great tracks, keeping a record since day one of Evo

It is not supposed to be exhaustive for everyone's tastes but is a good starting point for those who have been away from the 48hr feed for a period of time.

you cannot imagine the amount of tripe I have trawled through to find the gems of TC!!!
