Funny I had myself available for the entire month and I was REMOVED from the sessions for no reason and without warning...


So for those of you complaining that you had a no show or two....I would have been there to do these with you guys but alas I carry a stigma that apparently means everything I do is a cheat...


Even though I have 1 cheated achievement that was unlocked BEFORE I joined TA...


Bunch of bs how no one will hear me out at all on it...let alone consider my system for cheaters...

Why isn't GH: Aerosmith in this event?

I realise there's no band achievements in the game, but then again there's achievements listed in the event registration that can be done alone (for example the earn gold star achievements in The Beatles: Rock Band). Would be nice to get the few ranked match achievements in GH: Aerosmith and make the MM stats even more awesome.

Each other session I've been 100% reliable laugh

I've been 100% reliable - if a little crap (I hate you drums). I think all of my sessions have had dropouts or someone not turn up, and I've even joined a session at the alloted time only to be told to 'GTFO' via IM. which was nice.

Apart from that I've made some new friends and had some fun. I've just updated my cheeve list to stay available for any of the 4 player band ones, even though I've got them already.

Seriously though. If you know that you're not going to bother, then change your availability. Especially when people in different timezones are sometimes staying up very late TO HELP OUT..

i've seen a bunch of people not show up to sessions. and sessions just not working out with getting the achievements. It would be nice if we could still give feedback for people with these sessions. so we can mark the people that don't show up.

No shows happen since most sessions are set up several hours before the start of the session.

I had one session where we were informed 15 hours beforehand. With all the timezones It'll tend to happen that some players won't notice they're in a session because of nighttime/sleep and work/school.

Still this community idea is great, most sessions which go perfectly result in knowing more players who can Drum on Expert(+) or sing very good so which always comes in handy... keep it up TA :)

forced2change said:I bet marketing teams for all of these video game companies are looking at the stats from XBL and saying, "Holy shit! Look at all those people playing music games! Time to do more spinoffs! Let's turn Glee, Wicked, Cats, and all other singing TV shows and Broadway spectacles into games! The market needs more music games!"Karaoke Revolution: Glee Volume 3

I had to drop out of a couple of RB2 sessions as my copy of the game has dissapeared, this causes some problems as even though I had left the session and was no longer showing in the list of participants, my reason for leaving wasn't showing as a comment on the thread as it should of done. As others have noted I've also missed sessions due to the sites downtime and the inability to check session details.

I'm more than happy to help out with achievements I already have. I just want to play some Rock Band, don't really mind whether I'm achieving or not. I've listed myself as Hard on most instruments. I can usually handle Expert but not as consistently, but I wasn't sure whether to list that in case I hold others up. I can bump myself up a bit if anyone wants me to have a go anyway.

I would love to play with someone other than my self. I didn't sign up for this since I have all the chievos i want from the particular games in question. Since I'm down to just rb3 and gh Metallica now I didn't bother. But after reading all this if anyone needs help getting anything from either of those games I'm glad to help just msg my gamertag on live... oh and I have no guitar and can't sing so all I can help with is pro drums on expert...double bass pedal songs included.

Dropping out the day before with a valid reason and an apology is one thing, no showing with no reason is completely different. Thankfully I have lots of great TA friends who are usually around to help out, but the whole point of these sessions is to meet new TAers! Thanks Jessie!

Wow. Big Ell said thanks. AMAZING. Sorry, Big E. Someone made me do it :P.

Back on on topic: It seems this has been a success overall. I understand some people may have had a bad experience but it is important to remember how many people this has aided. I hope TA can organize other events like this for dead multiplayer communities.
Please, no more online co-op achievements.

I would say 80% of the sessions i've been in have had at least one no show, however I've had a blast with the sessions that have been successful and everyone has been really nice and helpful. I hardly ever played anything on live before the this event because so many of the players I ran into were such a-holes. I myself ended up being a no show to three sessions because my internet was down for half a day and it really bummed me out because I know how frustrating no shows can be.

On the "dwindling expert singers" I currently have myself rated as "hard" on vocals. I can do expert on songs that I know, but these games have many songs I do not know, so I wasn't sure if it would be detrimental to the sessions to list myself as an expert. I can bump it up if it will help more sessions happen. So far most of the sessions i've been in haven't required any particular skill on vocals tho :>

This has been the most fun I've had since joining TA. I have made sessions, I have missed sessions, I have had sessions fall thru but all in all its been great and I met tons of cool people to keep playing this and other games with. In the end, for me at least, thats what its all about!

I want those ratios to stay high laugh. Took me a several different sessions to finally get the platinum rockers acheevo but this was before the brilliant Music Mayhem idea.

As for people not showing up: I was put into a session less than 12 hours before it stared. I love TA but I am not on all the time - I was able to catch it and remove myself from the session but I know someone else missed it because of the same reason.
