Request a Feature, Bug Report and Suggestion Thread, Blitz Edition!

[zegsigma]

Blitz needs a coin transfer system. i have a few blitz friends that are having trouble getting coins because they grind songs for the GS or better rank, it breaks their progress quite alot when they need to stop playing songs to grind out short songs for coins.

i do all the goals when they come out (if i have the skill to do so) and i have almost 500k coins that i will never use, i have only played 530 songs out of the 1,700+ that i have and i GS 4/5 songs on the sightread so i wont need to grind too many songs and i will never use the 1mil coins i will eventually get to.

i would like to be able to transfer coins to mates of mine so they can play without having to grind out short songs to be able to get more GS.

Does this get read by HMX? I posted a bug with the Boston challenge a while back and never heard anything about it, and now the challenge expired and I have to start it over again. It's not very encouraging to take the time to post a bug if it just gets ignored Overall though I guess I'm lucky it was only a 6ish song challenge and not something huge.

So.... I didn't see this anywhere in the massive thread.. but I will say I bounced around..

I think a huge HUUUUGE addition to Rock Band would be some kind of Rock Band Jukebox. Something either part of Blitz, or even on the side as a separate download. (I would pay for this!)

If the RockBand Jukebox, or RBJ as I now dub, would be a place to listen to your library of tracks. I know we have thought of it before, and some of you who play DJ Hero know about the party play to listen to the track library, but this is a great way for Harmonix to add to the franchise.

RBJ as a part of Blitz would be like another tab in your menu. You could spend your coins that you've earned (maybe 1 or 2 per song) and create new or use old setlists, or pay for a song at a time. I know I have more coins than I know what to do with, and I only have 450 some songs. I can only imagine those with 1000+ songs.

If RBJ was not in Blitz, but as a separate Marketplace download, yes I would pay for it. Understand this would make the application force a way to listen to all your music without having to pay for any additional fee or charge since the idea of paying for the application to play the songs that you've paid for... is semi-crazy.

I just have to ask... Who's coming with me? Who's coming with me man?

It was originally going to be part of RB2, but was pulled. It's a very widely-requested feature (or at least it was), which suggests there may be library-wide licensing issues with having such a feature. I'm not sure how a song could be licensed for gameplay and NOT for simple playback, but I'm not an entertainment attorney. /le shrug

Same way songs can be PARTIALLY licensed, like how movies can afford major hits by only asking for twenty, thirty seconds of them.

Fix the Music Store, please. Choosing the 'recommended' option gives the error page saying that you have lost connection to Rock Central and boots you out to the main menu

I'd like to say this was a brief issue with my connection or the game, but it's had a zero percent success rate of accessing the recommended section for the better part of two weeks. Before that, it would only show me the first five songs alphabetically in my recommended section, when it's supposed to show me 20 or 25 songs (I don't remember the exact number)

I had a problem this morning on the PS3 where I was connected to rock central, but my score war didn't show up. I played the song anyway, and the game crashed going to the score breakdown (hard crash, had to power off the PS3 manually). I checked, and the score war was there and I got credit for my play, so I'm really not quite sure what happened.

Then again, when I went here to report it at the time (around 5:20 AM Central time), Rockband.com was down, so it might have been related.

I've had this exact problem. I also thought it was my connection, until I restarted my console twice. I wonder what the problem is.

i have several features that i would like to see in rock band blitz. i will post 1 at a time so i dont clog up the feed with a massive post.

If it was possible to i would love to see individual instrument play's in blitz, I know it might be pointless for a lot of songs but i would like it. Possibly with 4 notes being

For example:
L1L2R1R2 (Shoulders Layout)

Or some other layout in which ever way possible, even with 2 notes as it is not would be good. I would like to see the goals that you find in rock band 3 being introduced into blitz, I love having hundreds of goals to do so.

I have enough songs for it to be worth it for me but for everyone with less than say 500 songs it will give them a lot more to do. Maybe having different power-ups or single track or something or just having the X2 as it is in other rock band games.

I understand people not liking this idea but for people who don't have many songs it will be great for giving them more to do with the game and more score war challenges.

I have a feeling this may be impossible due to the game may having to be re-coded but pro charts were added to old rock band songs when rock band 3 came out so i have a feeling it could be possible.

Either updating for free or having a £0.10 charge per song to get extra lanes on the songs.

Easily make a lot of money from it cos ppl wont thing that £0.10 is a lot so a lot more people will upgrade songs to be able to do so but i think this could be a fantastic addition to blitz in the future.

So have Guitar, Bass, Keys, Vocals, Drums and Band.

Band being what blitz is now.

I think it is a good idea but i'd like to know what everyone else thinks and seeing what changes could be made to this idea.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmno. Only having one track to focus on for the whole song would be far too easy. Easy =/= fun.
