    RB Blitz Synchrony update
    Seems the powerup has had a HEFTY update
    I had always prefered Synchrony but it sucked in the points department in comparison to the Supers
    But it has seemingly improved dramatically!
    Before:
    100 points per shift + additional 100 points per note on the 2 tracks you switched between
    Now:
    500 points per shift + additional 500 points per note on the 2 tracks you switched between

    So it now went from a max score of 500 to a score of 2500! (switching between 2 tracks that each had 2 notes)
    :cool:

    You can see couple seconds before actual notes come and I use Synchrony that they are now worth 5x the points

    It's still not very useful, considering it can't be used with either Jackpot or Flame notes

    The thing that truly makes it useless is that the points rewarded are not affected by the multiplier. If it was at its current point value, it might actually become broken.

    Still looks completely useless for 99% of songs. I rather have the 1.5x guitar boost when I have a 25x+ multiplier than a lame 500+ points

    well at least that shows that HMX can not only change the coins earnings without a title update. but also the power ups.

    Which is kind of scary. Because if they ever chose to NERF something you are going to have the leaderboard with highscores that are unobtainable and truly makes it unfair for those who are trying to actually compete on them.

    What could be used to buff them is to create their own type of multiplier. By having you hit X amount of synchrony shifts or runaway notes you boost the score of all subsequent ones hit.
    But again, this is all touchy stuff. You tweak too far you are bound to break something.

    500+ points every few seconds, techincally. But for the way that most people play, yes, it's still not better than super instrument on the majority of songs.
