This is a really minor thing that's going to drive me absolutely insane, but the band HIM is listed as H.I.M. in Rock Band 3, but listed as HIM in the DLC. Is there any way to patch it to correct this (one way or the other), so that the band will be grouped together properly rather than separated?

Thanks so much for all your guys' hard work.

Possible? Probably. Likely? not really, given it's been a known issue for 2 years and 4 patches.

OK, new request.
Please, PLEASE, beef up the Hard charts, even if it's just a bit.

Lately, playing on Hard's been feeling like MEDIUM. Some songs are so stupidly easy on Hard now (and I'm not talking about Warmup and Apprentice levels). If the game gave gold stars on Hard, I'd have it completely 5G'd by now.

Now I don't want you guys to make an overchart-fest like NeverEverEversoft used to do - just make charts that remind us why Hard is called that.

It's not like that.
I just think there's been some sort of expanding rift between difficulty levels. There used to be a logical progression:

* Easy: Three frets, about 50% of the notes.
* Medium: Four frets, about 70% of the notes.
* Hard: Five frets, about 90% of the notes.
* Expert: Five frets, 100% of the notes.

I'm not good at this thing with proportions, but at least that's how I always saw it.
You climbed the difficulty ladder as you honed your skills.
But now, Hard's so easy that any unexperienced player that tries to move up to Expert from it will wind up massacred.

Oh, and by the way, I play Expert.
I'm just pointing out something I noticed.

You already play on expert so of course hard is going to feel easy.

Although I've run into a few situations where the Expert chart was too hard for me but the Hard chart was too easy and boring, it's definitely a rare occurrence. Usually if the Expert chart is too hard for me the Hard one has enough difficulty to be fun to play, if not challenging. It may be a difference in what we're playing or just a difference in perception.

They changed the charting rules when RB3 launched to require that every level use all of the frets used in the Expert chart; any note played on the orange fret in the Expert chart has to be charted on the orange fret in the Easy chart. There were some complaints because of that change as some felt that it was unreasonable to ask people playing the Easy chart to move their fingers off the lower four frets.

The old progression used to be rough from medium to hard. Now, they have all 5 frets on all difficulties, just sparingly on Easy and Medium. Hard has some fast limits on what they can chart, though I think that changes slightly once you get to the 5 dots/devil's tier.

I stopped going to hard on guitar/bass, as there are only a few songs I struggle with that I can't pass, and no-fail helps me make it though with those, but playing on hard is actually harder for me now, and, at least for guitar (on Drums, I find it helps me get the basics of the beat down better, though I've hit a wall drums)

However, once they defined what you could and couldn't do on Hard, I worried that it could cause issues with folks moving up to expert, but the easier solution is to just play easier expert songs and practice.

It should be like this.
However, it's far from it.

For example, Freebird.
On hard bass, I've gotten 98% and 5 stars, if I paid attention and really went for it, I could get 100% on it easily.
Expert is a whole other story. Last I tried, I could barely get past 70%, and I regularly play expert as it is.

All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix) is another example. Haven't really went for the 100%, so I've gotten 99% on hard. And it's relatively easy. Even harder than many expert charts out there.
Then I try expert. No ****ing way, not only is it faster, but it's got a lot more notes in it as well.
How on earth is that logical progression?
