RB3 Request a Feature, Bug Report and Suggestion Thread (no song requests)

[Obi_Wan_Kenoli]

I'm really pretty surprised there isn't a cash shop for clothes and gear.

I would have liked if they turned the stars you earn from playing into currency. At the end of the song, just put it all in some pot that you can use to buy things. I wouldn't even just limit it to clothing customization. Have new attitudes, faces, hairstyles, videos, game modes etc unlockable by cashing in on your game time. Playing in a band earns you 4 times the stars so there'd be an incentive to play more online or local multiplayer.

And yeah, graphics.... there is an absurd amount of clipping and collision in some animations - example: my poor lead guitarist doesn't rock out with the guitar *behind* her head, she inserts the guitar directly into her brain. I'm not anticipating fixes but I am eternally surprised more attention was not given to object clipping and collision.

Well the models in RB3 aren't proportioned right, or at the very least aren't proportioned like a person with normal arms. An actual person's fingertips will fall around mid-thigh. So you take an animation that had data collected from actual people, that works in RB2 because the models are closer to the proportions you find in an actual person, and everything moves and behaves as it should. You said "she", so if you notice on RB3 the female models hands barely clear her hips; so now take that same animation and you get behind head shredding/neurosurgery since the arms are too short because of the wonky body proportions.

There's a few goals requiring 360-only RBN songs, but there's more than enough leeway to get the Completionist rank without them.

I got Completionist by completing the majority of the disc song progress goals all the way up to Expert, except for Pro Keys where I only made it to Hard, and then pretty much all of the import goals.

Didn't need the RBN goals at all, except the RBN Metal one, which is not song specific.

Venue random selection in particular drives me nuts... I never want to see another damned "MTV video background" again. The randomizer does a terrible job of selecting venues -- some venues are hardly ever seen and some venues are selected over and over and over (especially the 'mtv video screensaver' one, the randomizer LOVES that one and I hate it).

The randomization is doing its job just fine, it's just that they removed so many RB2 regular venues and added so many cheapo generic green screen backgrounds. None of the theaters from RB2 made it over.

Calling the RB3 video shoot a video shoot is an insult to real professionally-made music videos.

The Detractors call us role-players, right? Attitude should be more like an alignment system, then. Two axes, three settings on each (nine attitudes).

RB 4 requests. How about bonus insturments that help/hurt your career play. Getting all 5 starts on a challenge awards you with a guitar that makes the timing window more, but tops out at 3x multiplier. Flawless solos, give you a 3 miss cushon before you register a true missed note. HOPO levels that turn every note into HOPO's untill 1 is missed.
Overdrive issues - would love to see the vocals triggered manually by controller OR voice. Too many times, i've got all saved up and hit the OD on vocals for the song to be 99.9% finished, yet nowhere to trigger it, till it's too late.
Note count - WHY do Chords only count as 1 note? if you play a 3 note chord it's 3 notes, but for count purposes it's only 1 note...
Vocals - Stay true to SOLO/Harmony. Too many songs on RB3 have multiple vocalists and you'rte forced to sing each part. Example Good Vibes - they have 4 band menbers singing their respective pitch/phrases... On here, you have to sing them all yourself. Many songs have this "flaw"

Finally songs.... Would love to keep the INDIE/closet bands to a minimum. My biggest complaint about the BR series is getting 84 songs and saying "who the hell are these guys" to almost 1/2 of them.

Other than those things.. Great product.. Looking forward to getting my new Green day and Lego so i can get them linked up as well.

That's how it was in GH 1 and 2 (and 80s as well). If it makes you feel better, drums don't have chords.

Forgot how scary those super pecked up moobs were.

... ... I *reallly* hope that RB Blitz isn't the "RB 4" or that no further expansions are planned for RB3... I took a look at Blitz and was just utterly underwhelmed. I am probably "not the target audience" for it, heh.

[SirDavidTLynch]

They've made it clear from the start that Blitz is just a side game and not the future of Rock Band. Which is why all the songs work in Rock Band 3 but not the other way around.

All songs work in Blitz, except the RB3 disc songs, which they decided not to setup an export specifically for Blitz. If/when RB3 exports, then maybe Blitz will work with them.

BUG - None fo my scores for about the last few days are going toward my rankings. I've been at the same scores on band, guitar, vocals, and harmonies for about 3 days . Any ideas?

[Meat-Popsicle]

BUG - I have no Top 3 Rock Performances of the Week listed on my Facebook page. It has never failed to come up before, right on time (just before 10am during the summer, 9am during winter hours) if I've played any songs at all over the past week. And I did! Although, mostly I played one song (Death in the Garden), on 7 different instruments. Maybe that bombed out the algorithm?

EDIT: oh, there it is, it posted about 2 hours ago, several hours after it normally does. I had only one top performance of the week listed, so I am guessing it won't list the same song twice (on different instruments).
