Are you worried RBN will change charting?

[jakeellis01]

Are the charts final edited by HMX themselves before this gets released?

If not, am I the only one worried that maybe RBN will eventually change the charting we all got used to from HMX?

Discuss..

as long as the Playtesting/Peer Review process is good, this should not be a problem

i'm more excited than worried by that possibility after seeing bill bruford up in the hizzey.

Yeah some songs [ON DRUMS] had parts that didn't flow very well.

Either the charter was going for difficulty, or was trying to chart it as 'accurately' as possible and forgetting that most of us are playing on a rock band kit, or some other reason, but some parts on some songs are TOO AKWARD to play on A ROCK BAND KIT.

Also, I would like it if charters kept BREs consistent. Push Push (LL) really should have had a BRE.

I actually liked the fact that it didn't have a big rock ending, makes it feel much like it does on Guitar Hero II.

While it's cool for nostalgia value, it makes it feel nothing like Rock Band.

On drums, it was akward and not fun to play, at all.

Just as a note - I thought the song was amazing, I especially enjoyed the placement of the energy phrases (OD phrases?), which I would've expected a good chunk of charters/people to not think about as much. Just didn't like the inconsistency with the lack of a BRE.

I was a little iffy on the BRE (or lack there of) but the band themselves requested it be charted. I think it's awesome that they were that involved and cared about the charts. It's crazy and it's different, but I'm cool with it.

"Push Push (Lady Lightning)" would not have had a BRE even if HMX had charted it.

Yeah I'm not sure what you mean when you say keep BREs consistent. BREs have always sounded like a random flailing and wailing around at the end of a song. PP (LL) has a very deliberate ending.

It's notable that the BRE is suggested in the RBN docs, but isn't actually required. Steve Vai's "For the Love of God (Live)" also opts for a charted BRE, which I found interesting. It works in that case because, well, it's Steve Vai. It was kinda weird to play, but I enjoyed it for sure.

If a particularly un-fun charted BRE appears, though, you can bet it'll be voted down long before it reaches the RBN store. As for worrying about RBN changing how Harmonix charts, I'd have to imagine Harmonix only changes their charting if they think it makes it better, so I wouldn't worry.
