Devs Please fix Ion Drum velocity sensitivity issue

[Nazzrath]

Ever since the patch the Ion Drum Rocker lost it's velocity sensitivity. Please issue another patch to fix it, so I don't feel like I threw away $400.

I have been having the same problem! I thought it was that my ION drum module was broken or something. It's been doing weird things INCLUDING being stuck on "100%" for all velocity sensitive actions.

If this is Harmonix's solution for too-quiet drum fills... I am NOT laughing.

It's not. They stated that the removal of velocity sensitivity for the Ions was unintentional and they're looking into it (no I don't have a link to the thread where they said that). I expect it to get fixed with the next patch, whenever that comes out.

I only had a chance to read a little bit before that. I've subsequently have learned what you state.

P.S. Is Music Store background downloading functioning now that the new Xbox experience is installed or still no?

Not that I've seen :(

OK I do apologize for reviving a old thread but I didn't see a reason to start a new one as this thread already discusses the ION velocity issue.

Recently Harmonix released info about the new Rock Band Network.

I will assume this will require a patch so users can uses the new features.

The one question I have (hopefully a HMX rep can answer) is will it include a fix for the velocity issue?

I just bought the ION's a week ago and am loving every thing about them. My gameplay has improved a considerable amount and although the velocity issue is NOT a game breaker I do feel a little "ripped off" as it is a feature described on the ION product and I do not get to take FULL advantage of my $300 drum kit.

I should not have to play the game with out my HDD (also removing my MANY MANY paid for downloaded songs) to get the game to run without the patch so I can get velocity back.

And PLEASE do not take this a a b**ch session or anything. I am more than happy with every aspect of the Rock Band game. Just hoping for a fix is all (it's only been over 6 months since it was broken :D ).

There's a massive patch coming out sometime this summer, with lots of oft-requested features in it. I'd be shocked if it didn't reinstate ION velocity sensitivity.

[Sepioth]

You say there is a patch this summer and it will ad requested features.

I realize that the patch will most likely be adding support for the new RBN feature but where can I get info on the other "features" being added?
