RBN DLC for 09/22 + New RBNStuff features

[atalkingfish]

Yes, RBNStuff is back with a fully functioning, up-to-date website. We've added a feature that will need help from the community, though.

On the upcoming songs page on RBNStuff.com, we've added ratings to the side. These ratings take into consideration many aspects of a song. Not just how good it sounds. Also, it is not genre-dependent. While I know most people here are tired of metal, metal songs will be rated as they are: metal songs. (just an example)

Ratings on RBNStuff's upcoming songs page will be HEAVILY effected by community input (either on these threads or on the RBNStuff forums, probably mostly on these threads). So if you've downloaded and played any of these songs (or know any problems with them), let me know on here and I'll take it into consideration.

This will allow those browsing songs to see the list as more than just a list of songs, but a list that has a correlation between quality songs and noticeability. I'm hoping that this encourages authoring groups to put up preview videos, as songs w/o preview videos will most likely be not rated upon release.

Anyways, here is the up-to-date list of songs that should be available next Thursday: rbnstuff.com/music/upcoming

And just a note, RBNStuff will be having a contest this upcoming week for Rose of Jericho's "These City Lights". Ten codes will be available. Follow twitter.com/rbnstuff for updates and such.

Why can't people just look at DLCQuickplay's user-input star ratings? Seems like a much friendlier/less subjective way to rate a song.

Can't rate songs on there until they hit the store.

Ratings don't do anything for me, I never even look at charts anymore. If I like the song I buy, if not, I don't.

"End of My Rope" is awesome on drums. Nice to see more relatively unknown bands I'm actually familiar with.

Well, these aren't to show which songs are the most popular. For example, a really good metal song would have a hard time getting a higher rating than a standard Ziltoid song (just an example)

These ratings are just to separate songs that stand out from songs that are more or less the same as everything else. Uniqueness, good charts, whatever.

I'm also hearing that those 3 Black Veil Bride songs are scheduled for the 9/22 update if you want to put those in this weeks itinerary.

Which ones? Do they have purchase links yet?

[SideshowN]

There is a purchase link for "Heavens Calling" on RBN Releases but for some odd reason "Children Surrender" and "Perfect Weapon" links dont exist anymore on RBN Releases. At least I dont see them. Anyhow, I got the info from The Authority Inc authoring groups youtube page regarding them finally being released this Thursday after the links being available for several weeks.

We got a fantastic track by Halcyon Way called "Mouth Without a Head". Whether or not you are interested in buying it on RB3, it's a good listen in and of itself.

That does sound good.

BTW, I do warn against rating charts based off of the video. There's a few songs I've found are more fun than the video suggests (or less fun in some cases).
