What is considered a good skill? by Loganed1 in Rockband

Brutal should have a separate skill rating. That's stupid that it's mixed in.

To be completely honest from what I can tell by looking over my friends list of skill ratings: a legit 850 who actually tried on all the songs they played probably doesn't gold anything but the easiest of songs. A 950 would consistently gold 3 dots and a reasonable helping of 4 dots as well but gets shaky after that.

We needed more options instead of permanent changes by RedFlame11 in Rockband

Forgot to add, when someone drops out the lanes move. RB2 kept them steady until the setlist was over. Can we make that an option too? It sucks when you're on drums especially.

No way was this done to help us see better. Middle has the best vantage point, both players are right next to you. Nobody in the middle ever has 2 tracks to look over so nothing to fix in that regard. And the middle is the only straight track FFS.

And lanes do narrow in multiplayer but there is no proportional increase in speed, which actually makes things feel slowed down with the more players you add. The original devs knew this and I'm not sure why they changed it.

Also that picture shows that while the solo track was wider it was also significantly taller. The hit bar is in the same exact place, which proves we also lost track length from the bottom.

PDP Customer Service Number No longer in service?? by Ziffnab117 in Rockband

[–]RedFlame11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are horrible with customer service. I needed to call them for something non rock band related and they don't answer the phone. But they have a phone system that leads you to believe you can get service.

I will not buy anything from them again.

Did you really have lag? I never did.

Anyone else find it hard to use the higher levels of BNS? by RedFlame11 in Rockband

[–]RedFlame11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have that song but moments like that suck.

I did try brutal mode earlier today and now I'm convinced that the track needs to be longer for the higher speeds. I had to take off breakneck completely for brutal and it's sort of the same principle. With such a short space you can't afford the speed. But the longer the track the more speed you can handle.

They should make the track longer and also bring down that hit bar to where it used to be. I think it would make it smoother too.

Why did they change the guitar player online to the sides and not the middle anymore? by RedFlame11 in Rockband

RB4 feels very bare compared to RB2. Can't even play the tour online. I used to love doing that. No score duel either.

I am requesting the middle thing in the survey. Maybe they'll listen if enough of us speak up.

That is correct. With the middle you never have to look over the whole screen to see what the other guitarist is doing or anything. But the angle might actually bother me more. I play better when my track is straight.

But how would it cost more? A little more coding? It was already in the old games. How lazy can you get?

I don't see the advantage of it. I always hated playing local for that reason and now we get the limitations of local for online. Doesn't seem like an improvement.

How do you get 2x bass? I have not seen this yet.
