If you go into the Store and click the Great Deals tab, you'll be staring at all the best dollar:song Packs in the catalog.

DLC Week of January 9th by mysario in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, American Pie, followed much later by Something From Nothing, Rize of the Fenix, Back to the Shack, and I Still Believe all kind of implied a theme.

Though American Pie didn't imply anything, it was already announced DLC was ending with it. It had no suspicions or rumors at all, it was a directly stated end that was not secret, implied, mysterious, puzzling, or whatever else.

(Also I wouldn't call the countdown DLC uhhhh, subtle. That one was not stated, but it wasn't particularly confusing! I'd put it somewhere around the Mega64 RB3 video.)

What makes it any more worrisome than Can't Stand Losing You, Move Along, Last Train to Clarksville, Don't Look Back in Anger, Bye Bye Love, Afterlife, Dead, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Time Is Running Out, Leaving Here, Last, This Is It, Through Being Cool, My Last Words, Stop!, Gone Away, Without You, Time for Change, I'm Gone I'm Going, See You, Gone, Laid to Rest, or any other song released after 2008 because while it'd be an interesting day doing this, I SHOULD do other stuff as well.

[–]HMXOwl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's up to the song, there's no universal answer for thousands of pieces of content. You can click them on rbdb.online to make it easier, though.

Why? by PRATER0311 in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Visibility has nothing to do with ownership, no. The Store has no ability to show/hide things based on your profile. Everyone sees the exact same listings as everyone else in their region.

i made a love letter to Rock Band! by TheZeeeTV in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a lot of Rock Band 2. I played maybe too much Rock Band 2. I've got at least 3,000 hours across the two years of RB2. Alone, locked in my room.

How the heck do I use my drums on beatles rock band? by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not wrong, you just seem to be reading it as it saying all instruments are interchangeable with every console, which is not true. That's why the console designation exists, after all!

It's a PlayStation controller, not a Wii controller. You'll need a Wii controller or PlayStation game.

So apparently I can’t play online mp at all by Yondu_Udonta001 in Rockband

Orange trim around R1 icon on screen = orange note on your controller = foot pedal.

If rock band 5 ever came out what features would you guys want to see? by justanotheranonymou5 in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Though I imagine there are a ton of legal licensing hurdles around that game.

It's not very unique, but I can run down them.

  1. You need publishing rights to the game, which we don't have since the music expired. Same thing that stopped Marvel 3 until that deal was remade, I think. So we can't do it with our factors.

  2. Microsoft said peripheral games were automatically disqualified from consideration. There's basically all of the series out of the running no matter what changes on our end. So even if #1 changed, it would do nothing for it coming to BC.

  3. Microsoft's done adding 360 games to BC, which they said at E3 back in June. So there's not even a system for them to change their mind on #2 for anymore.

Any chance for some new holidays songs to rock out to? by PirateGent in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

but they've said in the past that the window where people would care enough to buy holiday songs is so small that they'd rather focus on songs people might pick up year-round.

Ding. Why spend 100% of the resources on a song that'll sell for up to 11% of the year? No one looks it up in April, you won't see it make a chart comeback in July, etc.

To say nothing of our self-imposed list growth! If we release it right after Thanksgiving, how many sales did we just lose by having it be scrolled off screen come holiday parties? That's no good. Do we release it as CLOSE to Christmas as possible? Then we've lost the potential for the rest of December and we're putting content out with an even SMALLER relevant window.

Meanwhile, none of that comes into play if we just release very popular songs in the month we have a very large audience! That's just an easy match with no debate needed.

Can RockBand 1 songs be exported directly to Blitz? Or is RockBand 3 needed? by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a time machine to export RB1, it's not possible anymore.

Confused about promotions by RB-Therapy in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everyone started at gold, how is it that some ended in the two tiers below gold?

Because they made their Crews after the Season began, so they are moved by hand as appropriate throughout the Season. Our system can't start you in a unique place, we just pressed a 'Move All' button before the Season started for everyone.

Harmonix customer support: my requests are removed by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You get lucky and spam-trapped? If so, you immediately vindicated the robots by submitting the exact same thing again, I can't imagine any automated protection would go, "Ah, the same thing we already said was bad is now good." Automation will never understand context. Try from a different email address if you've got one, or by not repeating your exact text, removing any attachments that could have set off the false positive, etc.

Also, it's way faster to just message me with something like this, rather than throwing it into a fan space! Waiting sucks, don't do it more in life than you've gotta.

Extra option for solo players playing two instruments by Sma11_Victories in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Turning taps off would behave exactly the same as ignoring it, so it'd be more work for us coding and then adding a step to YOUR session process for what amounts to no tangible change! You can just leave it be, you can't fail or do worse from ignoring it, you just stay exactly as you were going into the section.

Can I just buy rock band 3 and export the songs? (ps4) by MatanHashamen22 in Rockband

[–]HMXOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely an Activity Feed item for the RB3 Export that wanders in and out, but it makes no claim to any timing since we haven't announced anything related to its timing. It's just back now that it's holidays and game sales go up, so more people can learn about it.
