this is a great game right ^_^
People can see it. I can see it, you can see it.
Tbh don’t even know what’s what on an avatar at this point because I barely know anything to do with avatars
Anarchy mode
Grr
Literally the easiest thing.
Like if an avatar has hair coloured in which it looks like it has stars moving in it, is that now gone or?
It's not
Can you explain to me why no one can see your avatar, Bromius? I'm confused. I seem to have missed the "turns all custom avatars off" part of the update.
But people can block it if they choose to disable a shader
^
The "only gray man allowed" portion of the new patch
Oh, so I can choose whether or not I want to see your shaders and that amounts to suffering?
lol
It goes with trusted level
The ability to choose isn't a negative thing.
Now, if it was just "Yeah, sorry but we just got rid of fucking shaders bro" then I'd be with you
"new users can't use shaders GG scrubs" would be awful
I want to see your shader because you're trusted and less likely to be eyerape
I’m user so I’m assuming people will have that turned off
Yea user shaders are off my default
I like vrchat the way it was
This allows people to choose whether or not they want to see your avatar. Anyone that stops making avatars due to users having a choice in how they experience probably was making them for attention to begin with.
Feelsbadman
I like seeing everyones shaders and models and shit because that's how they express themselves
Mic_sounders the fanboy lol
i just turned my safety levels off
Okay so note to self, don’t pick an avatar that might have moving clothes, hair, etc
With being a user
If we had new users blocked a few months ago, we wouldn't have the whole knuckes shit and the popularity explosion
Fanboy? Because I like being able to choose what I see?
knuckles didnt use standard shaders?
Explain that one to me m8
Whatever, this gives VR an opportunity for aonther social platform to rise
fanboy because you are here 24/7
It's not just shaders tho
Or still pick it for my own enjoyment, but people using default settings for users won’t see the specialties of my avatar
you live and breathe this discord channel
Fanboy
An extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.
Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.
@indigo fern no
most of them went to the ugandan world
So I guess put it this way
Pretty sure they use flat lit toon
ahh, i see
At the core it was suppost to be a social platform right?
At least they look like they do
Not seeing avatars shouldn't be a cause of uproar
If the content creators had new user Avis blocked... They wouldn't have seen anything
yea they would, it by default it blocks their shaders not the whole avatar
Now, translate that when vrchat had that huge population explosion a few months back
What did I say that wasn't objective?
I appear as User most of the time, meaning I'm affected by anything that blocks User stuff
I think this just hurts people who are really passionate about avatar creation
yup
Or at least want people to see their hard work
I think you can make full renders and like
avatars are on for visitors by default too, its the shaders that wouldve been a problem
Because Jesus is it hard to make an avatar
pose some nice pictures on deviant art and get better feed back
no point of creating if half the people can't see it lol
Which means ,by default, my Shaders are blocked. It's not ahuge deal.
instead of risking it being stolen
Shaders are a big part of good avatars imo
I don’t even make many avatars lol
Tru
I’m just wondering if I go to a world, pick an avatar that has some particle effects on it, will people even be able to see it now
basically every anime avatar has the toon-lit shader
yeah i get ya Mic. i like some of the crazy shaders out there but im not gonna be pissed if people cant see it
Pretty much
Make stuff for yourself
If you really wanna show off your work go to a site that is about showing off your work
^this
so if you have an anime avatar and you're not trusted, most people can't see you ^_^
Like I want to see vrchat the way it was meant to be and not cherry picked
Wait hold up
I wanna see everything including the ugly bits
^
....they can see you though
That's what made VR chat ... Vrchat
I waved at someone who said they had shaders blocked for Users. They waved back,.
If you’re user or lower and use an anime avatar, most likely you can’t be seen?
This was an awful move lol
he's exaggerating, you can be seen.
You can be seen
Just the shaders won’t
It's reallly easy, just go to a world. find an avatar you like
pick it, use it
done.
Tbh like I said earlier because I’m new to the whole making your own avatar thing, don’t even know what a shaded does or changes lol
It's you're really that worried about what people think about how you look, then it's not hard to get into avatar making especially anime shit
Flat lit toon shaders should be whitelisted
it is
That’s okay, I probably wouldn’t understand by explanation anyways
I mean for the trust system
I would need photos to even comprehend the difference
Don’t think anything is white listed
there is no whitelist lol
There's dozens of videos and written guides
I know
theres not a whitelist, but a fallback system
But they should allow at least cubedshaders through the filter
they have some other toon/lit on there
unless that is cubeds
oh looks like they added some third party shaders to their engine
you'd think the one in the hour and half video teaching people to make avatars would be lol
That video took me two full nights to follow along to
I have sounders blocked. I'm sure hes still going on about how VR chat can't make any mistakes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I felt so slow
eh i just play dangerously, i lower the sheilds when im in the box
Lmfao

Wait so toon/lit is on there..
yup
Either they dont know, dont show or dont care about whats goin on in da box
I'm so confused
I'm seeing lots of animes using standard shaders on normal shield settings
not sure how it checks which shader to fallback on, since yea, ive seen toon shaders just go white with the shields on
https://steamcharts.com/app/438100 I'll be keeping an eye on this, see if the new system has an actual effect on playerbase
They must be useingb other shaders then
Ohhh so shaders was the thing I was talking about earlier, like clothes that have a moving galaxy effect
could be
Sans
Why do people feel the need to announce who they block, why not just do it and be silent about it lol, he's acting like he's not hitting expand on all my posts anyway
meet new people
@viral yacht yes same here
Probably that'd make sense
@viral yacht bingo
New people monkaS
I doubt it would bring people back to publics
I wonder how many Bowsette avatars are out there now
Well shit, that’s like all the avatars I use
@indigo fern Terroir had a picture of that glitch in the pictures sect.
Yeah that's what shaders are, "texture enhancers" are the simplest way to say it
All of them have like stars moving through the hair or whatever
gg
yeah i've seen some of those
Oh
There’s a lot already
Is it your PFP
As long as they still look normal I don’t really mind, but if it like completely messes it up then yikes
the thing is, you won't even know if it's messed up to be honest
Without shaders it’s just a giant grey box
RIP if your shader is blocked there
stencils yea
And it’s horrible
It’s basically a testing method for me
or the people who cover their nameplate, a huge box too
Also the scary avatar ones
I just need to test all the avatars I like and use
I usually leave shaders on and turn off animations and particles instead
yeah jump scares are insta blocks, those are super annoying
any avatar made with the intent to disrupt are annoying to be honest
My main avatar has particles around her
It kinda funny to see someone shit their pants
Oops
Lmfao
to be honest, you're looking into it a bit too much. find an avatar you like and use it, or make one you like and use it. plenty of people will see it, though some won't
ok coming from a horror fan, i find horror avatars both cool and hella anoying
I like your name @indigo fern

but there was always an option to block avatars, there were probably plenty of people who never saw it to begin with
It’s a real mood
True
Did anyone else's trackers get messed up from the last steamVR update? My controllers are being overridden by my leg trackers.
i would say the most annoying one is "Dont blink"
Time to get on and mess around
Wait till u see the veteran version @hoary ridge
I've heard of people having that issue, there might be some answers in the full body channel though\
oh my, the ability to turn individuals into the ghost instead of using the panic button to change everyone is godlike
@cinder pier veteran version?
Big confusion
"why am I not veteran user anymore?"
all my veteran memes are irrelevant now ;-;
I don't mind appearing as user actually that should be the default setting
I think you can toggle being a user or not
That's what I was saying
Ah
But make user default
honestly, the green from user is way better than the orangish/brown that known has
Yesss
i want them to switch the colors of new and known
Even seeing friends with yellow took some time to get used to
the others are just different, but known user is different in a bad way
very unappealing to a lot of people
I could get used to it though. Everyone having different coloured name tags
Must have been
didn't they make it so youre a user by default til you swap it?
the Known rank is weird, it's affected the most by world effects
it looks plain red in the ghibli world while, to me, it looks orange-red in the pug
No, by default it shows your rank
please help, I deleted my cash and my cookies and vrchat still will never load a world, it's stuck on a 0% loading screen forever
'"By default, if you are a Known or Trusted User your Trust Rank will be hidden, and you will show as a User. You will still be able to toggle your higher Trust Rank on as before."' they didn't go with this?
*cache
Have you tried reinstalling? I haven't really seen anyone with that issue yet, maybe bug reports or something/
Well I sent an email I'll wait for a response to that but I'll try reinstalling it thanks :-)
I'm not 100% sure since i've messed with it a bunch for the memes, but I feel like I defaulted to user
@rigid crescent yeah don't overdo it with the memes
I don't think they did cause the first time I checked when it was live I was appearing as trusted
oh i've run into some sensitive people lol
Yeah wait till you get photosensitive epilepsy or ptsd
oh you mean those, i don't do those
Or you have a traumatic brain injury and you can't socialize any other way but vrchat
i just mean swapping my rank to Trusted and making rank jokes
@rigid crescent it all depends on if you are doing something that makes noise and flashing lights too often, cuz that can be harassing. You can only really try it around new people once and you can't do it more than once unless people really respond to it well
Especially if it fills the whole room
yeah, I only have avatars with facial expressions and hand gestures, anything annoying like that is the worst
there's material swap on my eyes for each gesture, but that's about it
well who knows. I wonder if my ranked went down cuz when I deleted my cookies it treated me like a new user making me do the tutorial again so that might be some error
But I'm glad you don't take it too far buddy :-) Thanks For That
nah, that stuff is stored server side
Cool
Yeah I'm not really sure why "if you have those problems, don't use VR" even though there's no "real" game that would have effects as intense as some of these screen shaknig and distortion shaders that people do
Tbh
There's people who have been fine their whole life and they're in VR totally fine until someone warps their screen.
Well, it's more like if you know you're at risk you shouldn't play VRChat, like I said a real game won't have that kind of thing, not to the level people take it.
That's like. Implied and I'm sure it comes on the health warnings of the headset
But it's not something you can easily regulate in VRC
TBH, if you wear the headset, it's not the devs responsibility to to warn you
You were warned when you bought the headset and it's your responsibility as a consumer to read any documentation
Yeah, if you know it's bad that it's a real problem you really shouldn't have it, but I've got friends where it doesn't really cause a problem unelss someone is actively doing something with the intent to cause some kind of discomfort
like walking up to them and blasting their face with distortion and flashes. that can affect anyone, not just people with pre-existing conditions
it's done with the intent to harm, maybe not with a seizure, but in one way or another
Even then. Other games do worse shit than vrchat
Like it would hurt my eyes and disorient me, that's about it, but it's still done with the intent to harm me. It's just a shitty thing to do regardless
well i mean this game's SDK uses Unity. you could do much worst with it if you knew what you were doing
and I honestly don't think most people doing it do it hoping to cause a seizure, they're just being dicks for fun
this is also try
*true
I've chatted with some crashers, and they mostly have that sense of humor.
Like honestly what are the chances of finding an epileptic using a vr headset tempting fate
pls fix desktop mode
is anyone else having the issue of their menu not completely reaching the right side of their avatar list?
the fact they could seriously hurt someone unaware of a condition probably doesn't cross their mind
vroom vroom
Don't use desktop mode?
Wasn’t there a video of someone having a seizure in vrchat?
@tranquil vortex [EuroBeat Intensifies]
From what I heard, it was faked
should ask the person directly if it was fake
There's people who say it's real and others who say it's staged. It's pretty hard to find the truth
I don't think the guy ever came out about it
yeah, no way to 100% tell if it was real or not so i just kind of assume it's not
and because of that one time, it's hard to find any info on anyone else that might've had one
Either way
it's dumb, but i'm more inclined to believe a random "dude i have a seizure...." post than a viral video about a possible one
Still possible, thats why I had shaders off
That still seems very unlikely
personally anyway
like if I read a non-preachy reddit post or something about their experience having one, I'd probably find it more credible than a viral video made during height of vrchat
I don't understand what you would be afraid of, the only thing I can see myself getting from shaders like that, is just a bit of an eyesore but that's about it
You would think someone would have created a simple script to detect quick flashing colors and in response turn the screen black or something
Then again, I was playing VR for a little while already so I'm already strained
I mean for all pc related stuff, not just VRchat
@fallow yoke not a bad idea TBH
@trail rapids sure you could, but, you got to remember that everything does it
to each their on my dude.
to me, it's just annoying and disruptive. it's not really the same as some dude running up and screaming profanity
That's really all it is, it's only Annoying and disruptive
With the power of technology I can make people instantly disappear
I don't intend to sound rude or anything, but if you know you have epilepsy, and flashing lights as one of your triggers, maybe you shouldn't be using a computer
yeah its not awsome when im in public rooms tyring to have a convo with a friend and then having somene randomly blasting music via a guesture, prop or script
You get what I'm saying
Just know your limits
that's a bit extreme, i think you should just be more careful is all. like not using VR if it's really serious
exactly
If you know what your triggers are, why the heck are you going to tempt fate
some people just experience mild discomfort
@tranquil vortex seriously? so if you had epilepsy that would be your soultion?
or a lot of discomfort
besides more pcs now adays are implementing acessability features
Just know your limits and actually confine to them
If I had epilepsy I would be looking for or making a program to prevent it
changing a lifestyle isn't as easy as you think
would not be hard to code at all
its kinnda not that simple. but i guess i get what your saying?
I'm not going to go and force everyone to accommodate my handicap
yeah so basically cut off from the world if you have epilepsy...hmm
its not really logical in todays age
sure there is a better solution than that
Well the thing is, using VRchat as the example again, those people being asshats serve no purpose to begin with.
Yeah, don't play VR games
@rigid crescent Exactly!
If I know VR games are a trigger, I'm going to stop playing VR games just like that
Make a modified exe
In the end, it's still their fault for doing it, they have no real reason to do it.
If going outside in the sun gives me a seizure, then I'm going to go outside in the night
@hoary ridge cant. Against tos to mod the SDk
you realize people with epilepsy are trigged by things flashing? Does not have to be VR related
It's usually not VR games, I haven't seen any VR games with as extreme of visual effects as some of these distortion and shaking shaders
I know that
You as an individual need to work around the problem, not forcing everyone to accommodate for you
But like sometimes you gotta do it to protect yourself
But that’s what the new safety thing is fire
For
Yeah, get rid of the handicap ramps and bathroom stalls
why should we have to help those people?...
it's not my fault you're crippled /s
That's your logic Valley if going out in the sun gave me a seizure i'd wear glasses that gave the effect of night time...lul
Yeah, see it's pretty simple
people with light sensitivity do jsut that
Or go at night
⭐ Vive Users! ⭐
If you are now getting error 306 and 400 and you've exhausted all other online solutions for trying to fix it and get SteamVR running again, opt into the 6/21/2018 hotfix beta and make sure all your game ready/AMD equivalent drivers are up to date. Restart Steam, relog in and it should relaunch
Like Miller from Mgs, that's what he wore those sunglasses all the time
Shades lmao
Jesus Valleybars you were not born with many IQ's
da points hav falllinns
sleep well Asian
My dude, I'm not going to sacrifice my experience because other people can't
Sucks to be them yeah I feel bad
But like, they have their own things that they can do too
No one is arguing that
Watch out for the police
No one said to sacrifice anything...
They gonna tell you to go to random chat
But by your logic, we shouldn't have wheelchair ramps.
Especially Ruud
Lel
or handicap rails
the argument is if you have epilepsy the solution is not to stop using everything that has a screen
Okay, those are basically human rights
The solution is to look for an alternative
I'm talking about video games, VR shit or whatever
Bruh why this person always fighting people
or something that acan make it easier or at least acesseable to them
Yeet
man if there is no program for this Im seriously thinking of working on one o_O
go for it dude!
Good luck not having it picked up by anti-cheat programs
"GeneralGinge
It seems that to get your Vive Trackers to work again you have to manually go into the Controller Settings and remove the "Held from Hand" role and set them to disabled. What a pain in the ass.
by the way.
@analog rune
i mean he could show case it to the devs and pitch it.
Okay, but that's not how they work
Research epilepsy safe games, it took me 5 seconds. a mother said her son is epileptic so he plays minecraft. So instead of sacrificing all games, find out what's ok for you
you're thinking from the perspective of someone who probably don't have any sort of disabiltiy
there we go
waiting
That's exactly when I've been trying to say this whole time
for how they work
Yeah, stop playing the games that fuck you up
Im saying there is a different soultion
random chat please 
ok im bouncing for the night. Sleep well everyone, one love ect
by tracking your monitor display
Hello there
My days off better come faster
I just wanna be able to play VRChat without interruption
Kind of hard to do when you're having a seizure
just close your eyes 4Head
Help!! I keep getting "Your connection to VRChat timed oui" msg
Just reset your network shit
I'm surprised VRChat doesn't have those discord-style system messages
"oWo Y-You disconnected, baka!"
id dig it
"Server-chan will be a good boy :3"
stop lol
hey man, discord does it
Would be neat
Uploading data, Server-chan. Nyaa!
https://puu.sh/BFqgc/cca75b8abb.png this shit gets me every time
weebs, the lot of you XD
discord is the best boy headpats server
at least we know discord has a sense of humor
shudders dont start man.

Skype-chan. Ready to service you!
hey man, i like a good meme every now and then.
Have I already said that this game is a great excuse to learn unity?
i just wish animating in 3d was easier.
oh wait.
key frame animations 😄
its just tedious to rig per animation
Heya fellas and fellettes
morning snuggly bunnys
a guy is making a wee woo wee woo sound thats looping as a person came up and said Nice avatar
ey emy
hows it going this morning

pretty laggy but im aight, you sleep good?

yesh i did feels like i was past out for 15 hours
^_^ at least me turned the day back again
oooh i can come on if u want
up to you, no pressure!
Bloodslaw 480e is useing something to getpassed new avtar safty thing
there online and ready hehe
blinding light that is not blockable coming from him
uh oh
i have a pic
so where is the cute jdawgpie
but cant post it here
blinding light? could just be something they dont know about
Hmm, i was checking out new worlds, then somebody joined the same world, asking me "Yo, filthy green, tell me what about this world". Then i remembered i turned on that mask to hide my rank, should i feel offended in this situation?
to the lucina in the pub who liked my avatar, im sorry i dc'd ;-;
unless they're directing it
i got the same name in game as here, Emy
just flop out your real rank and show superiority @craggy hull
As if a rank makes you superior?
i seems not able to copy to add u in game
yea its finicky
who
No, i wouldn't do that. I'm just saying it's just few days after the update, and there is already somebody like that wondering around.
It's much worse than that
found u jdawg
Visitors and new users are being completely muted, kicked, and made fun of
This ranking system is destroying the core of vrchat
Why?
Yeah
I have just 70 hours and a lot of people just keep saying that I'm new to this game and I don't know a thing
i been on fer bout on and off for a month and same thing here its like they think im not even worth being on
They're just showing their immaturity, but it's spreading like wildfire
but i seems to keep getting added fer my cute choice of a bunny thing
It's bad enough, and been dealing with/hearing about enough experience just these last couple days that I made a canny on it.
https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/can-we-address-the-discrimination-against-visitors-and-new-users
I'm tired of seeing people get harrassed for just a stupid colour on their name
Thank you for that 

Kicking them manually 🤢
We need an auto kick function for ranks
No non veterans in my instance 
Oh 😂
Yeah I agree with your post jamie, amongst other issues
My cover nyoooo
I have a feeling, or at least hope Devs will have a more refined approach next patch
Mhmm
If not I think they will have a hard time getting new users to stay and build upon the playerbase
Moving the ranks internally wont be a solution, hope they wont do that
and hardcore creators don't seem to happy so it could be a loss there too
Ultimately it seems like the trolls have won lol
I've heard of long time players who just switched to a new account. They should be comfortable with the game, but now that they have new user rank, they can't even join their friends, because other people instantly vote kick them
It's insane
Also..trolls with old accounts
and now trolls that can't crash are ddossing.. honestly the whole thing seems to have failed
having an old acocunt is not a only factor for the rank though
Also I would like some more help for steam users. I see lots of visitor users all the way through User rank but because they are steam accounts, they never get access to all the features that other users will have
true but a lot of trolls have multiple accounts that they are active on and some were not banned
Like even though they have User rank, Steam accounts aren't allowed to select avatars in non-public worlds
even if thats the case they will still get low rank
all streamers getting ddosed wtf
I'm using steam account
I had to abandon mine to upload avatars, was pretty stupid ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ddos me harder daddy
And now I need to open a VRChat account for the opportunity to get better rank
I'd assume you can still get a good rank on a steam acct? Just can't get personal avatars
it shouldn't take someone playing for >100 hours for someone who understands what the 1d3f digits mean to walk up to them and say Hey by the way you're on a steam account, you should go and start over
also the whole "hackers are ddosing now because of the trust system" thing that you are trying to push sounds like fake
me?
it's weird. I have seen steam users with User rank but not higher. But even with User rank they don't get access to features that User rank should have access to, like uploading or using private worlds
yes
it's been all over chat tonight lol
they are going to do whatever to crash servers. its really not because of the trust system
can i go to vrc traders and sell ddos protection :^)
Lol
soo trust system comes out and a bunch of ddossing reports and you think there is no coloration?
what are the differences if the results are the same (crashed servers) though?
of course there's coloration
some people are blue and white and orange and purple now!
and yellow!
don't forget green 😉
green was always there
whether they use ddos or crash avatars. the results are the same. why would you blame the trust system for that lol
you are getting the whole thing wrong
i know how to count colors
also trust system improves the experience of socializing (which is the whole point of the vrc) waaay much more because you dont have to block 100 people for their stupid shaders and particles. you can just disable them instead blocking them by whole
yeee
That's only if you label people as such
The idea of the trust system I agree with... people using it to mute, block new users, and acting superior because of their rank. I strongly disagree with
worst thing you can have for a social game is people with elitist mentalities shitting on new players and making them leave
I use it as a wariness for avatar effects. Nothing more.
Actually saw a nuisance rank
nuisance rank should be the only one displayed
The rest I just go on progressive trust for effects. Of course friends always get priority
Well... All I know is I will try to use this opportunity to approach visitors/new users, and try to make them feel welcome despite what they get from other players
My rank is "user" I wonder if it has anything to do with purging all the people that don't play anymore on my friends list
I don't think so
my acct is over a year old
I think only the initial friend request and acceptance is counted
What about any content? Avatars or world's?
I have like 12 avatars, no worlds
kind of ridiculous if the game forces us to do certain things to make rank anyways
it does not force you to do anything other then keep playing without beeing anoying / break rules
I've never broken a rule ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i wonder if speaking my opinion is a rule breaker
😮
i can count at least a dozen blocked me because i spoke my opinion out
If it is... I'm hooped
I mean if they count being vote kicked against you
people can easily exploit that and fuck over new people even harder
they count it in a specific way tho
I usually support the development team... But this I just can't get behind... Seen too much wrong with it
in what specific way?
well, the exact algorithm is unknown but one or two users blocking / muting you wont do anything
different if a whole room blocks you
That would be EXTREMELY impressive coding to tell the difference between a good kick and a bad kick
where are you pulling this from?
are you just making this up? lol
...
Thats as much as i know from the persons who should know how it works 
Nice 
a group of trolls going around instances playing nice then blocking a single person and doing that again and again with different accounts with the same person?
not many people are going to be like "i'm superior than you because i have higher rank" or "im not going to be your friend because you are just a new user"
The problem with making systems that remove assholes is they never work and the main user base are the only ones that really feel anything
i doubt anyone puts in close to that efford unless it's really a big motivation
ive seen a couple of the people mentioned there
People were going around trying to figure out how many hours members had and what rank they were
the whole room literally just blocked the person and i was just there laughing at the back
Of course this isn’t exactly
yeah
But people with 250+ hours were mostly orange
Visitor tried to join a room. Instantly kicked and got laughed at
^^^
That is not how we want to introduce people to the game
day one i knew this goin happen
As far as trolls not going the extra mile. When you put a rule system in place... THEY GO THE MILE lol
i mostly stayed at 1 map for the whole day, and visitors are never kicked on my end tho
I have like 43 avatars and I’m still user so ya know
Same, but user is ok... wont get kicked or anything
im not sure if that would even be a reporting reason 
If you’re user or above, you should be good
I was watching stream earlier though to see what ranks were the most people and most people were already orange and purple
problem people will think with ranks even try protect it lol
Ikr
"safest" and elitist mentality are two different things lol
first thing steal not rank problem it client problem there
that is true Bromius
Humans love groups.. clans.. when you put a system like this in place there WILL be discrimination
i have never been kicked over few months of playing though
played vrchat for the whole day, never saw anyone getting kicked for their rank, its rather that people who look down on low rank users would get mocked
I played for an hour and saw at least 3-4 people kicked on different servers and then I quit out
because thats obviously an act of an asshole
The point keeps going over your head lol
i think most people want avoid rank system because basic that was school life is now. it in vrchat
really not sure if that can be counted as discrimination and thus be a reportable behaviour 
I'm getting a sense of fanboyism from Fpaul lol
It’s almost like a self-disappointment thing. Being green might not matter to other people, but I almost feel like people may look down on me? Like if they’re in a group of orange/purple people, I feel like I’m almost not welcomed
yes
But then again people may just put green as default
hmm?
@trail rapids
i get that feeling too
I don’t know it’s probably me just over thinking it
I get that feeling as well
but i am quite sure i was overthinking
best to be green
An extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.
Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.
Like I was already shy to just walk into a public world and talk to strangers, now I gotta talk to people who I know are higher ranks than I am
On that note I'm out, peace people 😛
Nani
lol
it is like i know most of the people won't give a shit about me being green, but my insecurity still kicks in
I was also reading comments on forums and such of people saying, “if they’re green or lower, I shut everything off except voice and avatar”
That’s how I feel ^^
You mean because fpaul has to keep a professional attitude as a mod.... Wouldn't exactly call that fanboyism. Lol
he shared his experience so other person told him my experience just the same, get called fanboy @trail rapids
I am orange guy and personally dont care if plr gray/blue/etc.
Probably +-50% players feel like they got power/priority from orange/purple nametag, thus acting like that
epic logic

well rank will make people think that way
Tbh I didn’t wanna go into a public lobby tonight after watching streams
it nature for human mind to think that
I’ll try again tomorrow
@viral yacht if youre still on you could join my public i guess
reason rank should be avoid
the place where i am all the time are all logical people
welp lol
if people paid attention to vrc pictures most of the time they know im always at nier automata lol
24/7 nier map is like
hasnt run into peeps being against "low ranks" but did run into someone talking down on non-VR users lol
mostly the trolls got trolled lol
vr master race
I’m sure after seeing feedback and comments about the system they’ll tweak it more
https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/vrchat-bring-back-veteran-2018
Isn't Trusted User Veteran now?
Where is the reason to bring it back when it's replaced by another rank?
imagine how going down the hill the playerbase are if theres only vr users
i think we have enough ranks lol
@kindred sand sorry for leaving you behind earlier, i just got blasted with a whole lotta knowledge and need to recover
I mean if it causes such problems to new users and visitors, almost bullying, they’ll have to change something
the big question that always remains is.
is that really the kind of peopel you want to spend time with? (Even tho that it definitely is not a good impression especially for new players)
im pretty sure somewhere in everyones friends list theres a couple of desktop users there
Question to all. I've yet to spend much time since update outside of private worlds with close mates. How often are any of you experiencing rank reminders (outside of joking around of course), and how many seem to let this go to their head?
I'm quite cynical myself, but my assumption has been this would affect people in how they rank themselves in their head, (in a social hierarchy that isn't really spoken about) and come out less obviously and more in confidence and first-impressions.
I will block people who act like they are superior to me because of their rank
Worst people i know of ''I'm better than you because ive played the game more'' mentality
so far, never
I guarantee all my worries are just in my head
@near sky none, and im in public from i wake up till i go to bed
Thinking I’ll be looked down on
I haven't experienced it yet though
I’m sure there’s a few that’ll think they’re the best, but that ain’t the point
@twin jacinth like the 1k hours people who have over half of them from idle / sleep 
Good you haven't had any issues
Aye FPa¨ul xD
Which I have to disagree with that question of "do you want to spend time with people like that" because people want to fit in. And if someone is making a show or is a bit more forceful, others will side with them and act like jerks even if that is not their nature.
@thick flare mine :V
any compfy map with a bed you like @thick flare
nier?
yiss lol
sounds like a good idea
Dont sleep in vr :(((
perfect lullaby
That mentally spreads like cancer
We are creatures with social hierarchy already built into us.
i do also recommend against sleeping in vr tho.
maybe as a experiement but on a regular basis it is harmfull in many ways
to your hardware, and to you
@thick flare if you found the easter egg in the map im very sure youll sleep in wonders lol
i am sleeping in desktop :\
cant control all people think with rank system here going be people worry about talk other people as well
even purple might be scare to talk to you to
what easter egg?
@raven silo What do you mean? Was hard to follow
i used to visit that map a lot
Can't control that they think with the rank system?
theres 4 clickable flowers in the map, if you click them in order, it will change the song, and the flying things in the sky @thick flare
I fell asleep in vr for 1 hour
worst experience ive had in a while, i was just so tired after being up to long and fell asleep listening to Kyle's covers on youtube >.<
Head hurt, feet, hands oof
oh, have no idea about that
i mean there people who like avoid be rank all togther
it is bad for your neck
Neck hurts
negative thought come from rank system dont have value
Haven't yet bumped into any discrimination over rank but a few in my usual group have noticed it
Or you just wake up with a steaming hot headset
@thick flare clues are on the big light and the boxes near the little drawing(this one only shows if you click all the flowers randomly tho)
better off with no rank system just keep the setting only
A colorblind mode might be nice, without going and disabling nameplates completely. but it might be fun to try turning off nameplates more often
pretty sure youll find it soothing once you figure it out
it's also a bit more immersive without names floating above people's heads
oh the neck, i thought it was more about electric waves or something
Or you just get woken by a loli jumping on your face
isn't that a good thing?
OK
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
That's a rather nice thing?
Haha

I wish there was a way to see your friends rank on the website or in the social tab
I’m curious but to lazy to actually get on
when yer using vr, does the game screen still show on the computer monitor and on the headset at the same time
:V
Yes it does but it's super blurry on desktoo
oooh
il be honest, im still a green rank because i have only been using a vr account for like 200ish hours
But if you turn on the stream camera it shows the cam view
if my steam account was counted im pretty sure i wouldve been trusted
cause i have 800 hours on that
It's something to do with playtime
Friends
Avatar
Worlds
Are the hours it shows on steam my steam hours or VR hours?
Tbh can’t remember if I even played on steam
i played with my steam account for half a year
I just figured my steam and my vrchat account is both user
got 400 on steam and 200 on vrc
for nothing
i have heard rumors that actively talking counts as well
I'm a mute
Is there a way to check the different hour amounts between the two?
tfw you get blasted with the hot avatar model protips rapidly and youre frothing in new potential
No there's not but i got a vauge idea of when i switched over to vrc account
my head hurts
I think the best way to use trusted rank Is to just walk around as default avatar
😂 👌
I honestly don’t remember
i have 1100 hours now and i have been using my steam account for the last 800
I think I made a VR account almost instantly
So imma just say that all the hours that shows on my steam is VR account hours
that could do
@raven silo lmao
Me
Tbh I don’t think I would have been so bummed about green if I wasn’t demoted
only has like 30-40 something hours and i'm counted as new user lol
If I had always been green, in beta and normal game I probably would have felt better
Technically it's kinda new
yeah it is, just i prolly woulda had more if i didn't crash a lot lol
people forgot about you thats why 😦
actuallly there should be another way to earn a rank
Oof, right in the feelings
i love sleeping in vr
successfully reporting a player earns you rank point
you can fall asleep in any environment
people sleep in VR?
just all to yourself and your bae
Really? I heard the opposite
Don't do it
it's bad for ya
gonna clog up your pores lol
i don't care
already accidentally falls asleep in chair so
@safe prism How does it feel to sleep in an entirely different environment?
it's amazing
why worry about your real face when you want your vr face lol
Sleeping in a busy map and waking up to be the only person left
Rumour had it that if you get blocked or kicked, you lose points. But also, apparently if you continuously block and kick other players you also lose points
i also get choked multiple times a day, it's probably not good for me either
I usually throw on Vitrual Desktop in bed and watch something and right when I feel myself zoning out / passing out I take the headset off
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Then again, it’s a rumour so probably not true
@viral yacht i mean they should make it so that successfully reporting a player gives you rank point
Ohhhh, okay
it's not it only brings pain
I fell alseep once by accident and i regret it after lol
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/012/057/71d.gif
Idk how but I fell asleep a few limes in desktop
My vive makes my face red after 3-4 hours of playing. I can't imagine 8-10 hours of sleeping with it and the gravity is straight to yo face o_o
Not if you sleep sideways
I can't sleep sideways with VR my wireless headphones are 2 big >_<
I have also been woken to people singing me a lullaby
Fuck Teito
That's so true might ''accidentally'' fall asleep again o.O
I leave vr on 24/7, no issues
Should be fine
(not vrchat) steamVR and virtual desktop
If your gpu dont overheat after 30 mins it should be fine to run it for 8-10 hours
i usually play vr for 8-10 hours in the weekends without problems
what gpu do you guys use?
1080
1080 here too
1060
1060
1060..
1060
tbh gpu doesnt mean much shit here
1070 😮
If some guy comments rtx
I'm gonna low key cry
this game is like 60% cpu 40% gpu
ah okay i'm lookin at a future computer thats 1060 lol
I think RTX is a bit to expensive for the performance boost it gives
940MX
even someone with a 720 could run this thing
2080 is not worth it tbh
waste of money xD
RTX wont fix vrchat problem lol
I'm waiting for 1080s to start selling for $300 on ebay 😛
currently using desktop mode on a radeon hd 3200 lol
Oof
my headset doesn't really mark on my face unless i put a LOT of pressure on it
but i don't
i sleep on my side usually
also fbt and stuff
im white as fuck and got girly sensitive skin 😦
me too but
If vrc uses multiple cpu I'm getting a threadripper
it doesn't to enough affect to matter
it only focus one core
it does but extra threads are quick jobs
processing
When they get multi-threading working, I'm buying a VR headset
not a 1c cpu noo
@queen mango whats your gfx card? it's more dependent on that unless you have i really bad CPU
mines a quad core, but the cpu is too old lol
even an I5 will do
@trail rapids GeForce 940MX
GPU only good for send video to vr headset
Core i5-8250U
hmm
don't think the 940mx would cut it
not sure though
keep in mind VR HAS to run at 90FPS constantly
or you get physically ill
940 is not a vrcard
970 is the minumum i think
My RAM is at 4GB, pretty awful
Man, you're kinda iffy when it comes to frames.
no it has to do with your brain not computer elitism lol
What?
1060
16GB
i-5
That's what you should get to run vr tbh
constant 90+frame in vrchat with models on is impossible in high populated worlds
i have strong stomach lol
the 90fps, its required for your brain to be onboard
dunno how else to describe it :X
every ride on a boat
Oof
yeah you're better off buying a whole new rig 😦
Also, this is on my laptop
Yeah, I don't think I've had genuine 90fps in any public world with more than a handful of avatars. ASW helps a lot for worlds other than the lag free box.
STEAMVR has a mode that saves reprojection
best to stay in low number people in vrchat get good frames
so if you're getting a bit under 90 it will correct for it
i dont even get 90+fps in a world with 20 people with models off
1080
6600k
16GB
Should explain itself
I never experience issues with my 1070 tho
ayy 6600k friend. What are you clocked at?
the people in your world make fps to drop jufo
Gotcha, that's a reasonable stance to take. I'd suggest looking into it because it's pretty easy to do with that cpu. I'm at 4.2GHz right now iirc.
Damn that's pretty good considering its 3.5 stock
Is it still dangerous if you don't know what you're doing or does the CPU/GPU know to shut off now?
and don't you need a motherboard that allows you to overclock your CPU in the bios?
it usually shuts down as far as ive heard
I havn't overclocked in like 4-5 years lol
Still a little dangerous afaik. You'll definitely want to run stability tests. I tried up to 4.4 but mine couldn't handle it with my existing cooling solution.
I struggle with frames so badly
I always found if you're struggling with frames and you OC you're really push your card and it doesn't work out so well without additional cooling
I’ve read so many forums, watched video, etc. I have a 16 gb, i7-7700, gtx 1060 and it’s still bad in populated worlds
wtf, you should be fine
Populated
The high pop ones
I know, everyone and everything had told me I should be fine yet nothing has helped
i have the exact same spec
