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

Grr......the more we're linked together, the more isolated we really are. That's why I disdain social networks. And I know it firsthand. I was sucked into that vortex myself for a few years.

psssst Forums are social networks too!

I get what you mean, really I do, but I think this is something the majority of people will be fine with. We get to reach a bigger audience, the community has more people to Score War with or team up with on Goals, Facebook has built in tools to help and everyone gets a richer experience. Blitz is, of course, still more than playable without RB World and we had playtesters, PAX East and E3 attendees, press and early code folks going bonkers over the game months before we even announced RB World.

RB World is meant to be a companion piece, an additional layer if you want it. If you don't want it then you can still play all the songs, post high scores, get all the coins, get all the cred and unlock all the achievements without it. It's very much like the forums in a lot of ways, providing that additional layer to the RB experience for the people interested in getting more out of it.

And I've tried to walk away from here a few times too. It's never worked for more than a few weeks :|

If privacy is a concern, just create an account, make up all the required information (I think you only need a name and an actual email), and hope that nobody named Dick Hertz will fall victim to identity theft.

It seems that the term social networking site means "site that has a decent idea of who I am in real life". You don't have my name, photograph and where I currently work (many employers in my area want this to be displayed before you get a job). Harmonix also doesn't have any information other than email addresses, gamertags and rock band stats that could be sold. So there's no major breach of privacy.

"Uh, is there a Hugh Jass here? Hugh Jass!"

"I'm Hugh Jass."

"Telephone for you."

So, uh, others playing the PS3 version... are the Coin/Cred screens and Powerup Unlocked screens looking right to you?

I see from youtube videos from early Xboxers that after a song the screens show as:
Score -> Coin/Cred -> (Powerup Unlocked if earned) -> Cred-by-instrument-and-genre -> Leaderboards

Well, for me, the second and third of those screens is graphically screwed. Just unreadable squished and slanted graphics in between the properly-displayed Score screen and the properly-displayed cred-by-instrument screen.

Am I the only one?

Is it just me? Or can you not submit a score war on Rock Band World yet? It lets me select everything, but there's no way to submit it.

You'll get all of the powerups in like 20 minutes and then wonder why they had to be locked in the first place.

2 hours later, I still haven't gotten the second track powerup unlocked. I can't get 5 stars on anything either (got really close on 1 song, a few hundred short). I was earning 60 cred per song on a few songs, then it dropped down to 40.

Here's a bug. You can't download the soundtrack unless you load up Rock Band Blitz on the account you purchased it on.

Why is that a bug? That's called "Copy Protect"

Everything was fine for me.
