So, I've had RB2 for a month now and started playing on-line a few weeks ago. Have had some people sit in and help me out with career gigs and I've reciprocated by substituting in random bands.

Two things I've noticed that kinda piss me off:

1. Why do people feel they have to play at Hard/Expert when they can't? I don't know how many times I've joined some random band and someone else joining in goes on Expert and I end up saving their ass a couple of times during the song. I personally don't care what level people play when they help me out, as long as they can play it very well. So many people need to think they're cool playing above their heads!

2. Some n00b joins in and ends up playing the whole song with a full bar of overdrive, even when someone else is falling or fails!

Anyway, that's my rant for the day.

Who wants to play? :)

3. Quitters!

4. People who go into the Rock Shop when there's a whole band standing by waiting for said person to put all the freggin' finishing touches on his/her outfit before everyone can play.

There's a lot more but I'll stop for now (and maybe other people will chip in). I'll add you when I get online if that's okay. :)

1. It's a word that begins with "E" and ends with "peen".

2. If he's a singer there can be times when that happens. Since we can't control when to go into overdrive sometimes we'll try to max out our points by holding off until the last moment before activating overdrive. If we miss it we can wind up wasting a ton of energy. I know I've done it a few times after messing with my mic's sensitivity.

I'm not around now, but feel free to friend me. Hard/Expert vocals.

I agree completely, I can't believe how many times I've sat waiting for someone to finish their outfit. Do that before ya join, I just kick them now. My big peeve is people that play battle, they start to lose, they leave, then they come back and try to play me on an easier difficulty. REALLY? Cause I was kickin your butt on medium you think I won't do it on easy? My other one is people who disconnect in the middle of a set because they are having trouble. I'm not uptight, I won't get angry if I have to help you, because really, what can I do? Not like I'm gonna get mad and yell at them, I just yell at the tv lol. Oh and people that hold on to the overdrive and then use it when the song is over? Whats with that? Ok thanks for letting me rant lol. Btw I'm adding you rocknrollers

1: when someone is disconnected and the leader keeps on trying the song ( omfg its annoying )

2: when someone plays the exact same song over and over and over and over and over even though they unlocked a new venue/gig.
