Pro Drums Score Tracking needs to have individual sections depending on how many Symbols you have

Personally, I think it could be good if we have all the combinations for solo and two player, and then for bands bigger than that, just have it be "pro" and "non pro" on one leaderboard with a drop down menu for each player that could show up in comments or something.

idk

I think we should do it one of two ways:
1. When you submit a band score, on the form it will give you queries the will ask you if you did it on Pro Mode or normal mode. It won't pop up on vox info or or on guitar or bass on songs without support for that.
2. It will be like GH5 band scoretracking, only it will be harder since it will have to remove each instrument that is already chosen. It will be like below.

I'd like to throw my two cents in with regard to score tracking for 2-part combinations.

I think it's safe to say that Joe and I are the most active in this category having +3,700 scores and over 1 billion points entered across the combinations. I would truly hate to see these combinations take an axe for the "possibility" there will be "a lot" of scores in different scenarios, mostly containing pro-mode.

As the term implies, score tracking on this site isn't only used as a leaderboard function. Some of us like to enter our scores for multitudes of reasons (tracking FC's, total points, improvement, etc). I don't think it is fair to say "just nix that, it's not competitive" when there are people such as us and some others who spend a good deal of time playing multi-player outside of full band.

Anyway, just wanted to speak up for this combination since no one else posting in here with regard to this subject really plays in this mode so it's no loss to them whereas it would be to us.

So I've been having way too much fun on keys today and apologize for the lack of updates. I'll try to pry myself away tomorrow and take of some of the missing stuff.

Also I haven't made any decisions yet, but just to throw this out here - it's going to take some fairly significant restructuring in order to "merge" leaderboards across multiple instrument combinations. So if we decide to go that route, it may take a little while to add. If the consensus is to leave the 2-part combinations alone, I could probably get those added much sooner while we figure out the rest.

But I agree that something needs to be done, since even 4-part combinations are now complex. Both MasterNobody and RJUCPU have good points - feel free to keep discussing, and I'll keep thinking.

Can we expect a DLC portion under RB3 w/ Rb2 exports, RB1, etc.

i dont think a seperate DLC section can be used b/c of those band moments in single player that give you 2 overdrives.

Yes, the full library will be added within RB3, so please don't use the RB2 sections for those songs as the RB3 scores aren't compatible.

If all goes well I'll try to have all the missing DLC and imports added for score-tracking tomorrow.

As far as band scores here are my thoughts:

1. Leave 2 player bands as is, there is good competition/reason

2. Make 3-part bands a single leaderboard. Very rarely are scores submitted and even then the wide range of combinations means almost no one is directly competing against someone else. This consolidates everything.

2a. Allow a user to submit scores with different instrument combos without deleting low scores. I don't know how possible this is with current setup but if a user wants to submit 3-part scores for different instrument combos I don't think the lowest should be deleted solely because its a lower possible scoring combo. I'm not sure how it would work though this is just one thought I had

3. Have leaderboards for: Standard (GBDV), Instrumental (GBDK), All 5 (GBDVK), and one for any other 4 part combo (see point 2a again)

My idea behind combined leaderboards is that you are still free to submit scores for an instrument combination, but there can be legitimate competition for an otherwise widely unused portion of the site. If my 2a subpoint is technically possible (I have no idea if it is...) then people can still post FC's and keep track of that stuff even if they aren't trying to be competitive on the overall leaderboard, but also go for the top scores if they wish.

*end long rambling of thoughts*

Edit - If something like this is ever implemented for RB3 would it be possible to do it retroactively for the GH side or past RB games? Or maybe wait for rewrite?
