@JJWeatherman: If you're browsing through the clothing items and you run across a locked one it will give you the name of the goal you need to complete to unlock it. Then you have to go over to the goals screen and flip through those for a while until you find the one with the matching name so that you can read what you need to do to complete it. Not the most intuitive process but it works :P
Thanks to the previous suggestion, I went back through the customization menu and found a ton of items available. I was afraid I was going to be limited to the crappy first outfits until I locked things one at a time! All I had to unlock was the eye patch (activate overdrive 4 times in one song using pro keys)
You might check this thread, you're not the first to report shortages up there - http://www.giantbomb.com/rock-band-3/61-27919/rock-bank-keyboards-and-canada/35-462432/#11
Do you know if the unlocks are profile specific or once one person unlocks it does it become available for anyone? In your example, could your singer equip the boots and cape that your other band members unlocked?
@melcene: Do you know if you get points/credits/whatever for players that aren't signed in to a profile? In my limited testing last night I noticed that after a song I would frequently get a bar that popped up and filled in with more points/credits/whatever towards different goals but my wife, who was not signed in and was just the generic "Player 2", did not get any kind of popup bars. I wasn't sure if that was because she wasn't signed into a profile or if she just wasn't earning anything.
You said you unlocked a bunch of stuff with 4 people so I'm just curious as to how you did it.
@skinnyman: Hmm, so now I just have to hope that none of the pieces I want are tied to a challenge that I can't beat. Seems like an odd design decision to me, I thought the money system worked fine.
I also found a spot to look through different shirts, and to add gloves, glasses, hats, etc.
Did that let you look through just the stuff that you've unlocked or was it a listing of all items in the game and how to unlock them? I'm hoping the game shows you all the items and tells you what you need to do to get them, because it would be really silly if you just had to randomly beat challenges and hope you got something you wanted until someone figured everything out and put a list online somewhere.
@JJWeatherman: First off, nice work with the rock star. I like the crazy hair/glasses/facial hair mixed with the fancy suit.
How does the character customization work now? I only had a few hours to play around with RB3 last night and most of that was spent on music rather than characters, but what I did see left me kind of confused. When I made my rocker I could choose from 5-6 preset outfits. Did they take away the ability to customize shirt/pants/feet/gloves separately? Or is it only for the initial stuff where all of those are combined into one "outfit"?
And then how do you get more options for clothing? In 1 & 2 you earned money for gigs and then browsed through what was available and bought the pieces you wanted. It seems like they changed that in 3 but I can't figure out how it works now . I created the same rocker for the first two games and I'd like to recreate him here but I need to figure out how to unlock the pieces I need to rebuild him.
