Disheartened by TC .....Again | Forums

Is there a problem with TC again ???

I`d had a massive break from Evo, but decided to come back and re-vamp a track completely ( WGH REMIX )

I spent just over 2 days re-aligning about 300+ tiles that had been all over the place in the 1st release, removing parts from the original track that peeps had advised dislike too and then adding a alt fin to the track, the plat time is 1.35m .... i uploaded and came back last night to see its progress .... whereas my friends gave me the thumbs up ( some comfort ) TC only notched up "18" downloads???? and has now been pushed off the feed :/

To take the p*ss further i go into best of 48hr and find a track called " can u? " which basically is a bunch of pipes going up getting steeper and steeper ( looks like it was put together in 5 mins (and that's being nice)) which has notched up 2738 d/ls

Are you actually looking after the servers any more or is this game a has-been now? Further more i was looking to purchase Gold when some of the problems had been smoothed out .... but i cant help thinking the same will happen to that n this is really putting me off, if u cant look after the main release, do u really expect people to trust ure firm in the future ??

I cant for the life of me understand y people keep building for this game ..... and its put me right off even bothering with it anymore

Fisrtly, TC is working fine except some of the downloads appear lower then they probably are. 100 ratings out of 238 downloads for example, leads me to believe the downloads maybe arent updating correctly. Secondly, you are basically complaining that your track didnt do well enough. Join the queue of people complaining about that, its nothing to do with RL or TC or servers, its down to the way the "public" vote (thank you school holidays for the recent 48hr feed). And thirdly, never start a list of three things when you can only remember two of them.

I understand your issue. I really do. But what is in the feeds is what has been voted on by players. We don't go through and alter what people are rating tracks, so we don't control the feeds.

I too find it a bit... sad that people will vote floating obstacle tracks to 5 stars when tracks that obviously have more work put into them fade off, but that's how the masses are voting.

Welcome back! You arent the only one that feels this way. ghettoblaster made a thread about this but i cant add the link. We all feel your pain but sadly as Barry said its the players not the game!

The 48hr feed has been really poor lately, but I'm just assuming its down to school holidays or something. I hope thats the cause as it means it might pick up again soon.

Also, you must have missed out on the recent awesomeness of the 48hr feed when the comps were on. That was a great time to be a rider, loads of forum builders releasing some of their best work. ah, memories.

As I say, if you look at the dowloads to ratings ratio, you'll see its suddenly over 50% of people rating a track. Which imo clearly shows their is some kind of disparity between the number of downloads shown and the number of actual downloads. So I wouldnt worry about how many downloads you appear to get at the moment. Its only a number anyway, it always seems the majority of people download a track, watch a replay or quit and dont bother rating. So the number of downloads has never been something I pay attention to anyway.

I think RedLynx needs to make a downloadable XBL & YouTube video about what should be voted good and what was made in no time to not 5* them. But I don't know if that would help. These kids on Track Central are just unstoppable!
Why do these people even like a silly basketball game with two steel arms shooting the Bball?

Primary, there MUST be a track share limit for a Week/Month.

Secondly, I think there should be special feeds which has wrench builders/ known good builders that the other crap tracks doesn't affect them to be pushed down, and the tracks of the week should be only by these good builders. would suggest this at least for the Next trials)

AS FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE ON NEXT GEN TRIALS: NO BASKETBALLS & GOALS AT ALL COSTS!!!

As a TC user, I cant say it would bother me if that was implemented. But as a consumer, I would strongly object to a game developer demanding I rate tracks in any particular way. Imagine if RL decided that as Dont move tracks tend to be extremely popular, we should always rate them 5* in a future game? In much the same way, I would object to them telling me I cant build trials tracks and can only build basketball games in an editor designed to give us as much freedom as possible.

As for the seperate feed, frankly if those tracks are that good then they shouldnt be affected anyway (and they tend not to be). So I dont think that is necessary and may lead to further controversy/acrimony/dispute/bad feelings/etc.

And for the upload limit, please, please do this! A maximum of one track a day or 3 a week should be plenty for most people imo.

Please trust me I'm not complaining about not getting in to the 48hr feed(I only looked in there as I couldn't see my track on the new trials feed) + I do recognise that 80% of the tracks on it are better made than mine MO). I'm just little stressed, n fromprevious posts u know what I'm like at conveying thoughts across - I tried my best to not have another rant a thon

I'm just shocked that for 48 hrs plus work, that I got 18 d/l's n that's it? When TC was down b4 400 d/l's was what we were getting - if I had got that this time, I wouldn't have been posting this I would have just accepted it. I just want to know if TC was having probs again

I'm not worried about rating - that always gives me a helpful idea if peeps like the track or not - that's what I see that for.

Still trying not to get disheartened, but it's very hard

If there are typos, soz but I'm typing this on iPhone, great way to eliviate stress - not :/
