Very good job! I cannot imagine a better track central than that. +1 for this track central mock-up! Hopefully at least some of your suggestions make it into the game.Originally Posted by Jeruhnq Go to original postSaw the pictures of core2tom (first page) ...

Here is my Track Central 2.0 :

I think RL should reimplement the weekly highest rated as it was when fusion was 1st released but this time name correctly as either 'Current Trending' or 'What's Hot' as this was working really well, tracks got the exposure they deserved, they hung around in the feed for a few weeks and then drifted away with there head held high. but now we have this weekly feed nonsense like Evo had and quality tracks are now being pushed out by what most consider as trash, then people come here and whine that it's no longer worth building quality tracks because the feeds are jammed up with this 'trash', but if you're not willing to play these tracks and moderate them yourselves then you only have yourself to blame really.
so back to the 'What's Hot' listing as it was before, this could have been added to by way of a new feed called 'Legendary' and if a track hangs around the 'What's Hot' feed for say 8+ weeks it gets added to the legendary feed, which only holds say 10 tracks, when a new track is added the oldest one gets pushed out, but also has a new 'Legend' tag added to it, so when the search is fixed people can then search for all 'Legend' tracks, making the search act like a kind of history.
what i don't want to see in TC is 24hr, 48hr, weekly, highest rated, like in Evo because IT WAS FLAWED, when the game was less popular most of these feeds became stale, waste lands that no-one could ever get into, simply because at the start of Evos life tracks could easily get 100k+ DLs but by the end, and only a few months later really, tracks were only getting a few K.
So once again please RL redo the Weekly as it was but rename it so it reflects what it was intended to be 'Current Trending' / 'What's Hot' to save the confusion, as i feel if it was named like this on release, everybody would be praising you for this and not whining that the weekly is broken and tracks have been there for weeks!

Hi
i would really like to see a global TC leaderboard, you could, say, have one week to submit your time when the track is released, after this, get awarded TC XP points based on your position. I know we have TC XP points, but its a fixed amount and has no competition behind it.
im not sure how easy it would be to implement, but since you have added the tournaments, you do now have the means to postpone XP awarding based on position, just a thought

Hey everyone
Gt. LuckymeDK track name- Atticus. Gt. illobear track name- Devils beak 2. Gt Crazymofo85 2 track name- R54-41513E. But people there is building tracks, are disliking other tracks, so they can get there own track up in the system. So sad really

As far as I know, people who put time into a track to make a good one aren't going to just dislike a track because they want to get their track higher in the feeds. Why? Because they know how much time and effort it takes to create a proper track. Other people on the other hand, probably use this tactic alot.Originally Posted by dannimh Go to original postHey everyone

It's mostly the same people just because it's mostly those who make good tracks, Yes there are alot of creators, but there is only a small percentage who actually make good tracks. TC also get spammed alot so unknown creators who make a good track can slip trough easy without notice. That doesn't mean RL missed them on purpose. If you think there's a good track that is missed out on, just recommend it here, preferably with a vid.
And yes it's sad to see good tracks get lost in TC, but that's how it's always been. There are just too many spammers, people who like about every track they play, wich screws with the rating system.

It's just sad to see really, its always the same people over and over, no one is getting a chance. if it was me there was using time on building a track, and i didn't came in uplay recommended, why do it, but in the other hand, if my track was comming, in there, i will absolutely make more good track. Thats just my opinion.Originally Posted by bassline001 Go to original post

I have found that most often than not the track builders who are usually highlighted are ones that have come across from previous trials but that doesnt do well for the new creators. I have heard that this might be the last trials or one for a long while so to get to some of the standards that are around the top now , well its just not going to happen before track central goes like other previous games. Therefore i would suggest a new creators thread to give new builders such as my self a reason to carry on against all the troubles it is worth.Originally Posted by TeriXeri Go to original post
The more skilled you are at the game usually shows in your tracks , driving lines and so forth. I am fairly new to trials and im pants at the game so there forth my insight into donts and dos are limited and this is reflected within my tracks. It does seem the same people are always the rewarded ones which are awsome track builders but thats doesnt farewell for beginners and keep the enganged in the game. Most people attitude is that they wont get as good as that and being realistic which whats going around about trials that looks like the truth.
I would like to see a new creators thread where they get a chance to show thier tracks at the level we are at now not at the level we intend to get to because it wont be around then as i have heard along the grape vine so to speak.
Not enough is done to entice new creators forward , theres is that live stream editor which is amazing ( i can never find when its on ) but in track central it is just about a set group. I came along this game by accident after buying it for my son. He doesn't play it any more because he lost interest and as we know talked me into buying him a new certain game lol. Either way there must be more done to get people to want to make tracks , i also think that people are getting board with the flow of tracks. yes they are great but most seem all the same with the same flow which is great and i am finding myself doing the same when making a track but its boring. All that does is gives the track your building an easy medium and hard level.. the hard being based on times , difference should be pushed , this idea that if you have a camera angle that doesn't fit to top regulations rules is a no. Its daft as we want to encourage change and different tracks. Being creative is the best part about the editor this yet everyones ideals are based within a set pattern of rules regarding a driving line which i find boring lol
I agree that alot of the top track builders don't disslike your track and to build tracks the sole purpose is becuase you like doing it but at the end of the day we all want our tracks to be liked and feel somekind of accomplishment and this is only given by being rewarded in someway. I for one love it when people take the time to send me a quick simple message , tracks cool , or amazing track. Just a few simple words is my main reward. I my self have no doubt that given the time to gain more kill in actually playing the game before the game dies i my self will be an amazing track builder yet us noobs don't have that time. So i really do think a place for new creators to show thier skill based on the time frame we are in would enhance track central lots and bring more creators forward.
Cheers
