Well, guess you're stuck where you are then. Bummer.

There are no venues to unlock. Every stage is random. The Road Challenges are mainly just for achievements.

A little disappointed, but between the RB3 set list and RBN, I'll be okay.

Meh, we've know this for almost 4 hours now. Hard to be disappointed with... 98(?) new songs this week, including the Gamestop 3.

Still no linking. :sad:

I was still assuming there was some sort of a mistake, or that they'd at least toss in 2 tracks from some HMX band.

And it's not like I'm saying I'm quitting the game or putting my keyboard through my TV, but it still seems like a weird post-launch move, especially with all the "in the pipeline" stuff we already know about.

What's disappointing to me about the announcement is that they don't discuss how the process will work for upgrading the tracks. Guess we'll find out by Tuesday.

GoVegan 10-29-10 01:13 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
They're still ironing out those details.

You should try to get a job writing the announcements. TWO WEEKS IN A ROW AVERAGING 50 NEW SONGS TO THE ROCK BAND PLATFORM!!!

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Clearly the leaderboards mean nothing at this point. They say only 18 people have played keys on Break On Through by the Doors, all on Expert.

I'm sure we'll find out by Wednesday night. They'll probably start talking about it late Tuesday, you know, while they are still working out the details.

Probably a dumn question, but do we still get the Pro Keys & Pro Drums charts when just buying the regular version of the new DLC? I'm not sure if I'll ever have the desire to play the Mustang or Squier, but I'd spend the extra $ for keys & drums.

chuckd21 10-29-10 01:26 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
Pro keys and drums should be standard in all DLC from here on, as long as the song has keys, etc.

Yes, even the Llama Harmonies leaderboard looks exactly the same as it did yesterday. Their servers probably don't even know I exist :(

Pro Keys and Drums are standard for the base price in all official DLC now :up:

And yet in the main leaderboard, Shagrath still drops like a rock.

Yeah. I'm in the top 10% of all pro keys people, I've only played half the songs on easy, and I'm not that good. :)

I was happy to see that a friend of mine who came over and played "No Control" on pro drums was ranked #2. :)

Shagrath 10-29-10 02:26 PM

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution
 
I'm playing Pro Guitar on easy and getting Top 10s on the leaderboards too. I think it's just that the leaderboards are really fucked up right now.

Wow, what a clusterfuck of a release. I expected more from Harmonix lol

I see that I can play guitar or bass with the keyboard controller. Isn't the reverse supposed to be true too?

You probably have to unlock "Keyboard Immortal" for that option. That's how you had to do it for guitar.

To be fair, there is a lot of pieces involved here. For the most part the game is working right?

Ah, ok. Odds are, that isn't happening ;)

All you have to do is beat 50 songs on keyboard. Any difficulty works, doesn't even have to be pro mode.

That is, if that option even exists. I haven't really checked the keyboard goals that closely.
