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

[The_Mouthpiece]

Xbox 360 Version of RB3.

RB1 and RB2 Pedals will not activate overdrive on the Keyboard.

I do not know if this is an intended design, or a flaw in the game.

I would really like to suggest making a patch so that we can create more than 10 characters. Going from 24 to only 10 in RB3 was quite a bummer for me and my family, who love creating characters (it's one of our favorite parts of Rock Band). We filled all slots in RB2 and wished there were more. With Rock Band 3 coming out, we were speculating about how many more character slots we would get, only to find out we get less than half. It was quite a bummer. I know I would love it (and I'm sure others would too) if you awesome guys at Harmonix could find a way to increase the character limit.

Thank you so much for your time! I hope you take my suggestion into consideration.

This isn't exactly a bug with the game, but I figured this would be the best place. Forgive me if this has been pointed out already

On the box for the XBox 360 keyboard bundle, there is a blurb that says a key can be purchased to play the songs in Rock Band and Rock Band 2. Is that a typo, or can the RB3 songs really be exported into earlier games?

I was playing guitar and someone else online was playing bass. The bassist quits halfway though. The bassist's chart leaves the screen, mine becomes twice the size, and there's a big notice on the screen, obscuring my view, saying the bassist left. I'm left unable to see for 5-10 seconds.

Microphone volume is low, even when the setting is up all the way.

Fonts in design creator aren't able to be reduced in size as much as they could in Rock Band 2. Also, more shapes would be appreciated. It would also be nice to group layers, like you can in the editor in the Forza games.

Mic problems

People online hear me through my headset, not the official rock band mic, which means that every song I have to mute myself so that they don't hear my awful singing and the echoing effect that my singing produces. Is this a bug or a glitch or am I to believe that we can no longer talk through our rock band mics? Is this is the case why tell us to hold down the left trigger so that others can hear us?

Vocal overdrive does NOT activate, no matter what we tried.

I'm relieved to see some people with regular RB mics are also having this issue. I thought I might have just spent a fortune on a good mic only to have it not work in RB3.

Will a fix be forthcoming for this issue?

Training mode does not work, every time I go in to practice a song it always shows me a black screen and the game freezes.

Just about any song where the singer keeps his mic on the stand.

The animations with the microphone on the stand jumping around is jarring along with the spazzing bass every now and then. How the heck did they miss the Mic though? It happens just about any song that's mostly mic stand based and happens multiple times. It's really silly.

Agreed in full. It is very distracting to watch that constant spazzing mic. I don't mind some animation hiccups but that one just jumped out big time. It's the animated version of the 'shaky arrow' HA! Is there a way to smooth this out?

Can you lube the drummer? They're very, very mechanical and stiff compared to the RB2 Drummer. I don't know if your running off the same framerate, or previous build but they need a massage

Other:
Mic sensitivity is a MUST, you have to sing much louder (for late night apartment living this is not good), really hoot for overdrive, and be loud for the talkies or they don't hear you. I'm not using a stock mic, its a Samsung QU1. I don't understand why this was taken out.

Yes, fix the vocals issue. Either there is some new technique needed to break these activation windows to set off overdrive or the programming is terribly flawed. I mean these aren't even early windows. They are early windows from hell. Also, what's the point of having an overdrive activation window light up after the pitch indicator has already passed it.

(After browsing I can add to some of these)
I noticed this too, but didn't think all that much of it since I only sang a few songs. But yeah, that window activates pretty much when the next phrase is starting and thats not very helpful for going into OD.It registers the OD much later than the GDRB timing. The system sort of treats it as an afterthought.

Hey... I never thought of it that way. This isn't the Shaky Arrow Syndrome... This is a Tribuuute!!!

Anyway, yeah, this was annoying. Not in that game-wrecking kind of way, but one has to wonder what happened there in QA. I mean, this is a glitch that kind of, well, jumps out at you.
