Put some time into GHTV and most of it I was just wondering why these songs weren't in the game compared to most others. So many better songs lol Even got to play some serious metal songs for once which was nice, which helped to show just how lenient the timing window is in this, but it was good. I'm still on advanced and I'd much rather be struggling on a metal song I like than doing well on some crap indie rock song lol
Earning plays seems kinda slow though. Think today I played for a good hour, hour and a half, and barely earned 3k in coins. 6k gets me something like 15 plays? So 2 to 3 hours of playing to then get a chance to play 15 songs. Now, using plays I assume doesn't earn me coins? Only playing on the streaming channels? If it does earn coins during plays, I might be fine with the coin pacing.
Still think the game is fairly crap, excluding the gameplay. So hard learning how to maneuver between the two rows, especially with lots of soloing. Three note chords are incredibly challenging too. It's a fun challenge, but it's gonna take me forever to get used to these mechanics compared to how fast I went to expert with Guitar Hero back in the day. |

Simple. It entices those who don't want to grind for coins/plays to spend money. Microtransactions, my friend.

Eh, I'm not totally against microtransactions as I wanted there to be an option to buy songs in the game. The game is just made worse by all the good songs being in GHTV and the main game lacking so much.
What they probably should've done with the game was just release it as a free game, digital only, none of the live action elements, everything done with either music videos or some easy to make visual background, and then bundle it with the guitar for 30 bucks. Probably would've been a better release like that. |

How are coin amounts worked out in GHTV? I've done 5 stars to get 182, 4 stars for 192, 4 stars for 42?! I'm guessing ranking matters a little, but it seems almost random at times. |

Finish the whole song 100
Hot Start 20
3 Stars 10
4 Stars 15
5 Stars 20
10 Note streak 15
50 Note streak 25
100 Note streak 15
Song Intensity 1x Multiplier
Song Intensity 1.1x Multiplier
Song Intensity 1.2x Multiplier
I remember seeing this breakdown on Activision's site somewhere, but unfortunately the only place I can find it now is Reddit. You might just have to take my word for it
Most important thing is that ranking is irrelevant to coin income _________________

I thought I'd mind the micro transactions, but honestly I don't. It gave me an opportunity to play songs I wouldn't buy otherwise. Haven't spent a dime on the game other than what is included, and I've kept up with the new songs that interest me each week. I've got about 48k coins stored, so I could buy the 100 plays fairly soon (only gave 3 remaining now). Either way, something about this game is less fun to grind than the old games so it works for me, I get new songs to play with no extra investment _________________

Thanks for the layout on how coins work. It felt so random before, but now I see what makes for the big chunk of it. I must've gotten into the one song I did late no from the beginning right away, hence why I got below 100 coins on it lol
I also don't mind the streaming stuff too much right now. The gameplay and generally GHTV is the saving grace of this game. |

also don't forget to empty your play token bank everyday as they give you 3 plays every day as long as you bank is 0. wish I knew that sooner. would have saved me a bunch of coins. _________________

I've done a bit of testing. I'm making a spreadsheet that, hopefully, we can then use to calculate exactly how many coins a run will get. However, what you posted seems to be in the right area. |

My other question: what are the song intensities to the multipliers? Is it 1 for 1.0, 2/3 1.1, 4/5 1.2 or is it 1/2 1.0, 3/4 1.1, 5 1.2? _________________

1.0 = Regular
1.1 = Advanced
1.2 = Expert
EDIT:
I made a bit of a boo-boo. It's actually:
1.0 = Intensity 3
1.1 = Intensity 4
1.3 = Intensity 5
