PS3 RB3 Rock Central Server issues.

[Alternity]

The problem with the stores booting has affected me since rock band 1 but i only sometimes have rbc server issues most of the time a reboot does the trick but sometimes(mostly tuesdays) it can take several reboots.I haven't tried manual network settings and the only thing i can think of with the store boots is that i have my songs spread out over 2 accounts, 1 uk and 1 australian account.

I have DLC spreaded over more than 2 accounts, so that's defenetly not it. I started to have RCS issues since a bit before Blitz was out.

Where do you live? What speed is your connection? Is your connection usually stable (aka when you download something on your computer, does it stays at max speed for all the download time)?

I frankly don't know if this is related, but we never know.

I got on my PS3 @ 6:30pm est, I couldn't connect to RBC!!
(And YES, I tried everything )
Finally connect at 11:30pm est and at 1:15am ..
( Guess what?! Harmonix new/old game mode kicks in... XMB mode )!

reconnect at 2am est.. play afew songs with friends that could connect finally too.
Called it a night @ 4am.

Saturday night...
5:30pm est couldn't connect till 9pm est
( friends having similar problem.. Really? )
played a few sets then... XMB mode kicked in... at 11pm est.
Didn't connect to RBC till 2am. by this time I played a few sets again till 3:15am and ( guess what, again?...XMB mode )

So, funny story. I entered the dlcquickplay.com solo vocals tournament, which just got split into a championship division and a consolation division. Participation requires screen shots of your solo vocals scores with leaderboard information visible. Each contestant in your group (of three or four) selects one song, the totals are added up, and the higher-scoring people got moved up to the championship division, while everyone else competes for the pat-on-the-back prize.

I bet you know where this is going.

I have very little free time during the work week, so my intention was to grind the hell out of those four songs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with the deadline being 11:59 EST on Sunday night. Should've been plenty of time to get the best scores of which I was capable. But since I could not connect to the Rock Central servers nine times out of ten, and we still have those lovely XMB kicks and freezing issues for the one time out of ten, I ended up submitting less-than-my-best scores because I simply ran out of A) time and B) willingness to keep my PS3 where it was instead of tossing it out the window.

So I wake up a little while ago (night owl that I am), go to dlcquickplay.com, and am not terribly surprised to see myself in the consolation division, having achieved a total 598,340 points for my group's setlist, coming in third. The second-place, championship-division-worthy score? 598,980, from an Xbox360 user. Not to take anything away from her, but could I have beaten that with functional servers and, consequently, more time to improve my scores? Perhaps. I'll never know, now. Out of 41 total participants, only one person got beaten by a smaller margin than I did...but they still came in second in their group, so it didn't actually cost them anything.

So! All that work for practically nothing, thanks, in all likelihood, to the server issues. I said it was a funny story. I didn't say I was laughing.

You can add me to the long list of PS3 users who frequently experience XMB crashes, usually at the beginning of a song. I also have to wait for long periods, sometimes hours but sometimes only seconds to connect to RCS. This has been going on FOREVER, but seems to have gotten worse as of late. I got XMB'd from the music store three times today (before I gave up) and received many error messages when trying to download songs.

This is probably the last you'll hear from me on this subject. To those at Harmonix who have it within their power to fix this... please don't interpret my silence as an indication that my problem is no longer occurring or that I no longer care. The truth is, I firmly believe that nothing anyone posts here is being seriously reviewed or considered in any way.

Is there a Facebook page for "PS3 RB3 Sucks"? There should be. I'd much rather complain on Facebook... complaining here and submitting tickects sure as hell isn't doing any good. Bad publicity is a hell of a motivator.

That would be no one.

There's Headache's page, but it's mostly about fonts.

If posting here isn't doing anything, making a Facebook group isn't going to help. If anything, it would just make your complaints easier for Harmonix to ignore.
