Pro Guitar Upgrades

[Elementician]

well, in the case, a Pro Guitar/Bass is a useless instrument in RockBand 3, and Rocksmith then currently is better then rockband 3 for pro guitar, since people aren't gonna go buy upgrades just to play with Pro G/B's, so then the Pro Guitar/Bass is an Epic Fail.

The Op is talking about not being able to play pro charts with people who don't own the pro charts. Which is working as intended, and not changing.

I was exactly talking about this. Oh god dude, from now on I'm just gonna ingore you.

That's kinda sad. I know it's working on PS3 but not on X360 and on wii, has HMX ever stated something about this?

It is not. But suprisingly enough your reading comprehension has failed you yet again.

Anyone can play pro with anyone that has the charts.

You can't play pro charts if everyone doesn't own the upgrades. This is not a bug. and is working as intended.

You even said:

It's a bug on xbox360 I believe. On PS3 it doesn't happen. I didn't know it happened on wii.

You can't play pro charts with someone who doesn't own them on ps3 either, or any system.


READ HIS POST AGAIN... He says that he can't play pro upgrades with those who don't own them.

Of course you can't that is working as intended. No system can.

All right, you are right. I sincerly though he was talking about the ability to play the songs themselves that are upgraded with people that didn't upgraded them, no matter which instruments.

I just woke up. And english isn't my strongest language.

Originally, you could play with non-pro owning people, they would just see a blank lane, not get unison bonuses, and the scoring would be screwed up. They patched it so you no longer can do this, likely due to a combination of technical issues (the aforementioned scoring problems) as wess as legal issues (folks not owning the pro chart getting the pro chart shown to them).

Pro guitar works just fine solo, and works just fine with folks who own protar DLC. It's a bit limited in online functionality, but it's still better than other games (no online or no pro style mode) anyway. Honestly, Pro-guitar is something I would expect is better experienced in solo just due to the difficulty.

Pro guitar would be useless if most people played online 100% of the time, or if every pro guitarist plays nothing else.

Personally I prefer to play with people no matter which instrument I'm playing. You can find people with upgrades on DLCQP, or here.

For learning, I'd expect solo would be better. You can pause and resart as you need to without annoying anyone, and focus on songs you want. But different strokes for different folks.

it's only useless for people who want to play pro guitar online, and it's debatable whether there's even a significant percentage who do.

i almost never play online, and being on PS3, if i did want to play online, there are plenty of other things on the PS3 that make online playing much more problematic.

like you said, originally the people without the upgrades only saw blank lanes, not the pro charts. other people could not see the pro chart unless they had the pro upgrade installed. i don't think it was a legal issue, just a technical one. some people complained about the scoring, and when HMX "fixed" it other people complained because the cure was worse than the disease.
