January Featured Tracks: Uplay Recommended Best of '14 | Forums

[ozy]

Yea I hear ya Kid, I agree it is somewhat of a waste of the feed (for some who have already played and enjoyed those uplay tracks)
It is also (for me) a waste to put featured builders in there as I have played all those Builders tracks already,
But it is, as I said, useful to newer players,
I can tell you for a fact that a lot of people on my FL are still playing Evo and waiting for the Fusion MP before purchase,
Albeit not the MP they or any of us were hoping for, but its a start, and I personally am looking forward to XSX as I only ever built a track to have a laugh with friends in MP,
This time is almost here and they are starting to look towards Fusion now.

And thats also why I suggested the second part for tracks that have not been featured but perhaps should have been,

Thought i would say something as i have had a fair amount to say about the featured and this exact topic within the past.

I personely think that this was just a quick interval which it being the end of the year and maybe also one because it stretches out the how long they have to try and dig for good builders to feature on some platforms which as its been christmas and the end of a year made sense to me. It was also good to be reminded of the older crossplatformed tracks also , i am unsure why they have to use the feature and not use another unselected spot for this but thats way its gone and it was a surprise to see a different thing in tc once in awhile. I have said this many of times that featuring a builder doesnt actually gain that much interest in my opinion as this is already a feature when you play a track you like if you select the square button ( ps4 ) and like ozzy said he like most others have done this and already have access to all the featured builders tracks by friends or other forms.

having the featured is in many was to me pointless but none the less its a place that has been there now for some months and has featured a triple amount of builders which in my view would be totally uncalled for if the featured was to be abandoned now , this would not fare well on other builders who might have been hoping to get selected one day within the upcoming months. there is a couple i can think of that should most deffinetly have their time within there, not my self of course as i dont own enough quality tracks at the moment , but maybe one day i shall and would totally see my backside if this was not available for my self also. The featured however fitting it is or useful for all does not really give any right to have it removed now untill all builders have had thier own time in the spotlight now some already have. As much as i dont like to admit it but the thought of maybe my self being classed as good enough to be in there as kept me sometimes from throwing the towel in and putting the game in the bin lol , as for inspirational purposes the featured should continue along the path it chose and promised to gamers and especially builders when it was first realesed.

Mpc hi dude long time now speak

I can see what your saying bud and i do agree its is using the same featured but as its only a thing out of the blue and hopefully not to be repeated in the same manner repeatedly then i think it was actually good to be reminded of some of the classic tracks and good to find out which was the best played track and so forth. I took its as like the ending of a year and like a total tally representation so it was a different kind of thing then the usual installments which i thought was good and gave something newish in some way to tc.

hope you and ozzy a good crimbo and new year

Yeah fair enough Funk, I know what you're saying,
But here's how I see what the optimum use of the feeds would be,
Of course it is just how I would like it to be and it's RL's game, their feeds and none of my business how they go about it...

Featured Builder is a waste of a feed,
A much more useful feed would be Redlynx Picks as per platform,
If I play a great track that was nominated by the community, good enough to be picked by RL and from a builder I'm not familiar with,
The first thing I'm going to do after playing it is hit the "search for other tracks by this creator" button,
So a RLP feed gives me, not just one builder per month but potentially many more per week/month, and builders I may not have known about.

Uplay recommended feed is great for giving me tracks from other platforms that otherwise I would never see, but if it consists of, lets say two or three XB1 tracks,
I will only see a couple of tracks per week that I haven't already played and no function to search for other tracks by those builders.

Ideally I would like to see a RLP feed per platform and then a Uplay Recommended feed that doesn't give me the XB1 picks, but the best (if not all) of the RLPs from the other platforms,
That only adds up to two feeds (as is now) if the Featured Builder was scrapped but I know it would give RL more work in filling the feeds per platform,
And thats probably where that idea ends.

But I'm happy enough with the current set up and have no wish to complain about anything,
I know the year ending round up is exactly that and will probably return to Featured Builder maybe next month,
Just my opinion seeing as opinions are being thrown out there

oh yeah bud i never saw either yours or mpcs as anything else then a nomral opinion , as was my own , its funny actually for some reason i took you as a younger lad than to have kids , dont know why lol just first impressions. Although when i think about it you have always posted within a mature manner so should have realised , my son use to play trials also , its his fault i am hooked on this game as it is while he and he mates left the game to storm destiny or gta 5 again. He moaned and moaned till i bought him the game , he got bored as he couldnt use the editor and i think i showed him up alittle lol hahah about time i was better at something on the computer then he is. Im sure he think he is really in command of an army when he plays destiny with his mates. All i hear from the other oom his him shouting " no double jumping and ordering his mates around hahaha. Im afriad he is a rager though and gone trhough a few remotes to say the least lol.
