@vegastrash, the weekly feed is working fine, its not a top weekly like in EVO but a top trending this week and personally i like it, it gives exposure to the creators, sifts out iffy tracks and then lets them gracefully go to the way side when people are done with them, if they are being played and rated then why should they not stay. Ruby is a great track, it had a long stint on the weekly and has now passed out of it, leaving room for others. i believe it had some 60k d/l and plays (ok nowhere near the level on EVO, but this game got slammed fast and is probably still teetering on self destruction). I found the highest rated nonsense on EVO, purely because players numbers dropped like a bomb, leaving creators with no chance to get the d/l required to get in it, so it just went stale.

I've not played today, im reserving any comments on the patch/update. Im definitely going to see if the bug i reported is fixed first (i really hope so!)

Good post!

I agree with both of you. The new highest rated behavior is useful, but only if people can discover good tracks outside of that feed so that the selection of tracks can get shaken up. There should be tiers of track popularity. Every track winds up in the new feed, some tracks are voted into highest rated 48hrs, and some of those wind up being popular enough to make it into highest rated this week. It allows mobility without requiring as many people to sift through the unregulated new feed. Currently very few tracks in the new feed get enough attention to make it into the weekly feed so there's still quite a bit of stagnation.

Thanks for correcting me...I had mistaken that feed for a "top tracks of the week". This makes the feed even worse. Wtf were they thinking? You'll have half the slots taken up by tracks created a month ago, leaving almost no chance for most tracks to make the feed. With 12k tracks made...you see 50?...and not even current ones?
The 48 hour feed worked fine and the weekly. They needed to moderate it though, to eliminate yoyo don't move tracks and other goofy creations. Limit uploads to one per 72 hours, etc...to kill spam.
They in no way have made track central better...it's a disgrace....now x2.
I appreciate the information on the "top trending tracks of the week"....another new age term for tools..haha trending...oh brother.
Red Lynx, why are you ruining your game...Christ.
