Rock Band II
Travis Barker said Expert was. My second rock Band 1 pedal broke last night, I thought about usng my old real bass pedal, I've seen mods of it, does anyone know how it's done? Don't bother with the bass pedal mod unless you're serious about getting competitive scores, it costs about $50-100 USD to get a custom bass pedal with a reed switch mod. Information about the mod can be found here: http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/vie ... php?t=2226 I broke my RBI bass pedal and before I moved onto the destroyer pedal I was using two butter knives under the broken pedal secured by duct tape. Works even better than when it broke (I broke my pedal 20 minutes into playing it for the first time). Here's a video link:

question about yew logs n yew longs...
People buy Yew Longbows (u) because you just add bowstring to it and voila! You have a finished product ready to sell on the GE market. No hassling to cut the log and THEN add bowstrings, just add the strings and you have quick experience. Dragon platelegs and plateskirts have the SAME exact stats although skirt actually weighs less. Dragon platelegs are more expensive because there is more of a demand on them because of the way they look, and more people want the legs as opposed to the skirt.

FC means Full Combo, meaning you hit 100% of the notes while maintaining your combo throughout the whole song. This means that you don't over hit or under hit any notes, and that you keep your note streak constantly going throughout the whole song until completion.

I actually can't believe it. After only of practices and numerous chokes, I actually FC'd TTFAF! I'm the 4th to do it, first being iamchris4life then GHPhenom and then baseballkid007. Wow. Speechless right now. [hide=Big picture] Hehe, only kidding. But I actually managed to get my first FC, Slow Ride (don't make fun of me :oops:) Looking to practice much more (I shortly FC'd that Jonas song by Weezer after) Thanks for the support guys! I'm now both a Rock Band AND Guitar Hero newbie :mrgreen:[/hide]

Certain types of autoing legal?
Using a ghost mouse is illegal because you're not going through the actual action of doing the task. Although you may be at your computer and not away from it, you're not exerting any force and using a macro to repeatedly accomplish a task for you. So yes, it is illegal.

Fighter Torso Discussion/Argument Thread
The problem is that they right. Most of the time I do use the proselyte/verac skirt combo. This is really the way to go. Fighter torso is only good for disposable PKing armour..the slash defence on the torso is superior to that on the Rune Plate. However, if you really can't get a torso in under 2 hours, don't bother with it. I concede defeat, compfreak and Inuasha :mrgreen:

Fighter Torso Discussion/Argument Thread
That's their personal experience. For me, it took around 2 hours. I have no mathematical backing to my theories - I speak from a logical standpoint, however you use randomly produced numbers such as (120/4)*2)/100 = .6% faster XP and expect us to consider it as it's absolute fact. This point will be addressed later on. Again, more random statistics which we don't know where it's being obtained from. I'm just explaining the versatility of if and when a Guthan's set is purchased. Perhaps the point I raised is a bit irrelevant. The point that I specifically wanted to send was that since you're using Guthans, you must be at a place where food is abundant and that you need to heal frequently (as to need to aid of Guthans to help maintain your hitpoints). Your suggestion to use barrows armour (which I do) is used as in my suggestion of Guthans, yet you dub Guthans as a time waster "when you could be whipping". The base armour that could be used is this scenario would be fighter torso + barrow leg armour, and logically speaking you should be fine as long as you keep your Guthans handy in your inventory. I'm confused here. Who are you talking to? :wall: Taken from dictionary.com: Efficiency is not only defined in how fast it takes to accomplish a certain task or job, but rather also the amount of effort which is put in. In this case, it is the cash spent in obtaining the charms by bursting. This is the combination of cost efficiency and work efficiency, it isn't nonsense, it's a simple balance of economics and work exerted. In the middle of this rebuttal and I realize I've been quoting Inuashakent instead of compfreak. I must admit this has put me off from writing a rebuttal for the rest of Inuasha's arguments. I apologize to compfreak, I'll continue and finish this in a few day's time (I have a paper due tomorrow :P)

which godsword?
By this logic the most useful item is a Christmas cracker. Sgs is the best.Healing is amazing. He means that because the price of them is higher than the rest, the uses of it must be that appealing as to entice the godsword shoppers to lean more towards the AGS.

Fighter Torso Discussion/Argument Thread
It's not that hard to learn BA, considering you are required to listen to a quite lengthy tutorial before being allowed into a real game. Those who complain that complain that it takes a considerable amount of time either: *Are playing with inexperienced people *Skipped the tutorial That's too much of an over confident and unsupported answer to be held of any value. I'm not sure of the exact value, but I'm most definite that it takes more than 1-3 prayer potions each task. Your prayer level is 85, far higher than any average scaper. The prospect of losing 30k (at a bare minimum as you've outlined) a task is too much for some players, especially those who look to slayer as a profit earner - especially at lower levels. I do have barrow armour, but I assume that you've read my whole argument and you'd know that barrow armour uses are not needed in some places. Guthans is basically a reusable source at a very cheap price, and its uses are endless. Players could buy guthans for a (well it used to be much more) hefty price of 5M, and then they can use it at places such as GWD, DKing and other boss hunting places. It's a good investment to have a Guthan's set, as it will benefit you greatly. Bunyip is not over-rated. It's use during combat is limited, but it's ability to heal you as its base effect is invaluable. It's what I like to call mindless healing, just summon it and it's there in the background, healing you gradually on minor and even some major tasks that you don't take too much damage from. And you won't get faster xp at places with a combat summon at places of single attack zones, as most slayer tasks are. Cost efficiency =/= XP efficiency. Allow me to use an analogy. Some prefer to burst rock lobsters albeit being highly expensive, but only because their main goal is to gain the highest efficient exp despite the cost. Cost efficient players however on the other hand will take the time to gain their charms slowly at a slower, yet cheaper source such as waterfiends. As I said before, it depends on the type of player and the efficiency suit they follow. Use barrows at places where the defence isn't needed? Why use something where it isn't required, where it is replaced by something that equalizes the damage taken? (Through the use of bunyips, Guthans, prayer flicking) It is then in these scenarios where offence is more needed than defence to finish the task quicker. It's not prayer switching, it's prayer flicking. Here's a video: It doesn't take alot of concentration, you just let your mouse hover over the desired prayer and flick it on and off depending on the movement of the monster. It also aids you slightly for those who want to fight Jad :mrgreen: With prayer flicking, I can finish a task of 150+ Black Demons without even taking a single dose of prayer potion or leaving the area. The demons come to me, and I just flick in that spot and let my character auto retaliate. Well then, that's your choice because not everyone blocks basilisks. They are actually a good source of fast slayer exp and charms. You won't get hit more because a fighter torso has higher slash bonus than a rune platebody, especially in a fighting zone where mostly ALL slash weapons are used (Slash Godsword, Abyssal Whip, Dragon Claws). The fact that you lose a fighter torso is simply a glitch. It just needs be adjusted. There's some topics floating around Help & Advice about this specific bug which you can find. Math may be a fact, but the validity of the source is questionable. Unless it's been gratified as an ultimate truth and been cross trained with hundreds and even thousands of samples ranging from all combat levels of unbiased sources, then it won't be fully reliable as this game is based on a system of "random".

Fighter Torso Discussion/Argument Thread
Well, if you get a ton of fun out of maxing your hardest hit, then you should get it. The strength bonus from the torso is impractical, but if it's fun, then whatever. The game is still about having fun. If you just want to hit as hard as possible, knock yourself out. If you're trying to be time-efficient and go for best strategic planning, maybe there are some better choices available. You'll probably find that you can get a bandos chesplate with GWD faster then you could get a torso from BA... I know you're just joking here but if you're going to pull out every stop to cut down fighter torso to the bottom of the gutter then I'll have to make my argument. To get the stats to come close to being competent enough to get a Bandos Chestplate from GWD and to actually get the drop I could of gotten 10-15 torsos by then. The following argument is from the view point of someone who owns a fighter torso. I'd like to address the fact that most of you have been saying that fighter torsos take around 6 hours to obtain. Not true. If you are any serious BA player or enthusiast, or even someone seeking the two useful items there (Fighter Torso/Penance Gloves) then you won't blindly run into the BA worlds to find a team of blundering idiots. Instead, you'd find competent players like yourself and easily and swiftly obtain the fighter torso even before setting foot into the BA arena. It doesn't take long to obtain as long as you know what you're doing and you have some capable teammates. Lately I've been hearing where every training method and setup is basically outshadowed by this "Proselyte Top/Verac Skirt" combo where you piety/chivalry your whole task. This can only apply to a select few players. The fact of the matter is that most players do not have the funds to constantly guzzle prayer potions each task, and to speed it up isn't worth the money. I myself could afford several Bandos Chestplates yet I stick to my fighter torso. Why? Because the poor defence of the torso is made up by my barrow platelegs, the use of food, guthans and bunyips. Why spend more money on prayer potions and a bandos chestplate when I have everything I need here that works just as effectively and more cost efficient? The fighter torso is considerably better for those who don't want to spend money on an 11m chestplate on minor tasks such as basilisks, black demons, greater demons and lesser demons. I pray flick, so the use of proselyte and prayer is not needed. It gets the tasks done slower, but it doesn't cost me a fortune and I get to use that saved cash for things I love, such as CWing and PKing. I doubt many of you here would piety a basilisk task. I could go on about its versatile uses in PKing, but I'm getting kind of tired and writing from the scratch of your head is not practical. I'm looking forward to some rebuttals, but not where hypothetical math is used - it's far too far fetched and an unreliable way to back up your argument.

The Jonas Brothers & Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana
Why does music bashing threads come up ever so often? As someone previously said before me, music elitism is highly annoying. Everyone has their own tastes, so why can't everyone just leave it at that? And as for my own personal preference, I'm into some rock and light rock songs, but I'd rather listen to Miley Cyrus and/or Jonas Brothers who have at least a sense of melody and vocals as opposed to some "sub-genres" I've heard, which are mainly composed of a medley of illegible flailing drum noises, screeching guitars and pig squealing vocalists. I enjoy all genres, each has its pros and cons - which is why I listen to everything! Can't lose there :D (By the way, When you look me in the eyes by the Jonas Brothers and See you again by Miley Cyrus...that stuff is addicting :mrgreen:)

No, technically you're still "at your keyboard". So to answer it's question, it's legal so long as you don't wander away from the actual computer you're playing on. And you can post all your questions here in the future: viewforum.php?f=12

Shouldn't users be allowed to remove posts on their threads
Two points I'm going to lightly raise about this statement. First of all it's not a rumour that a fat gene can be inherited from either recessive or dominant traits, it's true. Just like you can inherit the trait of genes that determine whether or not your body will not be able to produce insulin and in turn will cause diabetes, some people do not have the same abilities to break down fat at a quicker rate than others, thus causing obesity. In fact, obesity is linked to with diabetes, so people with inefficient insulin production (otherwise known as diabetes), can be suffering from the also called 'fat gene' or obesity. The second point is that if you're going to go out for every single grammar and spelling mistake out there, you're better off doing something better with your time. Highlighted in your post is a spelling mistake that I've found skimming through your post, and I wasn't going to raise something about it until I saw how irrational you were acting towards sloppy grammar. Rather, I don't want to be pedantic about it yet I'm just showing how we're all human and all of us can make mistakes :mrgreen: You have to keep in mind that not everyone's native language isn't English which may be the cause of the imperfect grammar and language. Also, like others have said - it's the internet. Not a book, not a place where literary geniuses converse, nor a place of essay-like perfection. It's a discussion forum for a fansite of an online game. Although sometimes reading something totally illegible may cause you a headache, it is ultimately your choice that you have chosen to read their post and you can simply leave it and back off. If you give them more time, their typing skills will improve. I'm sure that neither you or me was a perfect typist and grammar guru when you first entered the internet. Your irrelevancy to this topic has lead to much debate, and I hope this post can end the quarrel and get back on track. For this topic, I really don't think that the reasons the OP has given warrants the ability for themselves to remove their own posts. There's an edit button as others have said and by deleting other user's post it only raises the level of ignorancy to other's opinions if he/she doesn't like what's being said. It should stay the way as it is - and by the way the report button is beside the quote button :P

Thanks for the speedy responses :mrgreen: It's just that I'm so used to just "stretching" along the fretboard (as said before, I have a immensely larger than average hand dexterity) that between the Stratocaster and the Les Paul, I'm bound to be confused. Ah well, I'm a GH newbie anyways :mrgreen: Thank you A Local Guy, N0M_AN0R, Darkdude and Saidin. (By the way, I just -2 the whole Afterlife song on Rock Band with the STRATOCASTER :lol:)

Guitar Hero/Rock Band Discussion thread
That's the thing, the Stratocaster is not compatible with the GH3 game. However, the GH3 game is compatible with Rock Band #-o I think it has something to do with the spacing on the fret buttons, the buttons on the Stratocaster is much closer than the ones in GH3, and so sometimes I hardly can't reach the orange button yet my hand dexterity is quite large (I can reach 1 and a half octaves on a piano). I probably got adjusted to the Strat from the get-go, so now I'm having trouble even getting 5*s on songs in GH while I can usually breeze through harder songs on Rock Band :wall:

Guitar Hero/Rock Band Discussion thread
RB is not as charted as much as GH looks like you'll have to get used to it. :| That's not it, it's not about the note chart (I've FC'd the solo in Afterlife). It's something about the controller of GH that makes my wrist and fingers hurt trying to press each button - and it doesn't happen in RB. Still looking for more input about this problem though :mrgreen:
