Coin Economy Tweaks

[T-Hybrid]

Okay, this answersr my question as to why coins and cred blow up if the connection to Rock Central is severed. Interesting approach to handle all of that on their side, and we've already seen how it allows them to adjust various things without requiring a patch.

Also like that a "full" loadout costs 50 coins more than a 5-star performance. It's possible to 5-star many songs with the right combo of two power-ups, so if you go full bear on a song you take a SLIGHT ding on your coin count if you don't Gold Star it.

And it makes "grinding" less of a chore, as you can play a song once for at LEAST 4 stars without any powers and get enough coins in return to be able to start testing different loadouts and going for 5 (or Gold). And I like that, as typically my first run through a song turns into me flailing around for powerups as I get to know the various note sections and which parts I should try to focus on during the song.

People seriously complained about coins? Not once have I had to grind for coins, NOT ONCE... and I started off really bad at this game. Now I'm sitting on top of 101,000 coins and I don't know what to do with them lol.

In regards to a fake FB account, if you use a fake account, it will be linked with your XBL gamertag, which in essence can identify you. Once it is determined that you are not the person you claim to be on your FB account, the fake FB account can, and will be deactivated. When I used to play those silly Zynga games, I had several fake FB accounts. They have been systematically deactivated over the last few months. FB is really cracking down on them.

Several fake facebook accounts was the problem there. If you dont already have a facebook account and you make a fake one it wont get shutdown. Just use a real sounding name and youll be fine

Did you do the Facebook thing? Cause after three days of playing, I was averaging 4 stars on most of my songs, and I was out of coins. There were multiple times I could only afford one powerup, if even that.

As someone sitting on a 25,000 coin surplus pre-patch, I found this to be kinda silly. After I completed 2 or 3 goals, I never had a shortage to begin with.

Kinda sad.

I think the developers had the Facebook Goals in mind when they were making the game and coins, so if someone doesn't use the app then that would explain why people are running out quickly and they shouldn't complain because the option is always there for them.

But yeah, I use the Facebook app and I've done all the goals (which has earned me approx 50,000 coins.. which means I would still have 50,000 to spare).

Thanks for the coin tweaks, they are certainly welcome! Now I can try repeatedly for gold stars on a song using all three powerups and only lose 50 coins when I get 5 regular stars instead. Plus, the tweaks to score war coin rewards are sure to encourage lots of score wars. GREAT JOB HMX!!!

I can understand not wanting to make a Facebook (I've been there) or even a fake one.
But I think it's a bit much when people start complaining about optional functionality of a game that wants to promote social interaction.

Okay. Since when was Facebook the epitome of social interaction? It's popular (for the while) but does anybody really go out of their way to use it rather than abuse it as a quick distraction?

The reality is I play games online with people who are on my XBL friends list, and I think that's true for most.

Only a few million people a day.
