Oh... Lol😅

#

Gonna check these headset out thanks

twin jacinth
#

👍
@glossy wharf
Why do you advice against Hyperx?

glossy wharf
#

cause its garbage

#

i have one

#

mic quality is so bad

vocal shard
#

Taking that one of the list then

twin jacinth
#

my friend has the Cloud and has no problems with it, mic quality is good and clear with battery life of 30 hours which is double of most other headsets right now

vocal shard
#

Weird. Sound like a great headset

vocal shard
#

This is why I hate buying a new headset.. So many problems with these thing

warm crane
#

Hyperx cloud lasts hella long, esp if you turn off the led

umbral reef
#

Best for headphones is to not aim for an gaming headset

#

They are often overpriced for what you get

#

Getting an audiophile headset is better sound for your money

glossy wharf
#

i have the hyperx cloud 2

#

the headphones are amazing with 7.1 sound

#

but the mic

merry gale
#

who do I send mail to when I report hackers

glossy wharf
#

the mic sounds like you ripped it out of a fucking helicopter

merry gale
#

ty

vocal shard
#

Oof well that sucks. Definitely don't want that. My English ain't that great so I want people to understand me

outer marsh
#

is your gain turned to max in windows on the hyperx? one of the headsets i plugged in before had it set to that and it was very bad, otherwise you probably just got a bad mic on ur product

twin jacinth
vocal shard
#

@umbral reef any recommendations?

#

Asus off the list

twin jacinth
#

Yupp that's the best, it only brings problems.

umbral reef
#

What is your budget

safe prism
#

the arctis 7 is pretty nice but DO NOT SLEEP IN THEM

#

you will break them 100% of the time

vocal shard
#

As cheap as possible of course. But I want to stay under 150 euro

#

I won't sleep with my headset on :p no problem

twin jacinth
#

I hate how the Artic feels on your head
it has this low quality feel with the pads sounding like plastics bags when you adjust them

only my personal opinion

safe prism
#

also what HMD do you have

vocal shard
#

I'm such a noon.. Hmd?

#

Noob

safe prism
#

VR set

#

oculus, vive, wmr?

vocal shard
#

Medion ereazer x1000 a wmr

safe prism
#

oh

umbral reef
#

Well to be fair, best i can suggest is atleast go for an leather cap (feels so much better then the foam crap...) and if you want to use it with VR get an surround sound one

#

But lemme google

vocal shard
#

Gonna hook it up tonight hope its working fine

glossy wharf
#

@outer marsh Negative, returned it, got it back, used it on two different devices

#

same sound

#

its just a garbage mic

#

at least on the cloud 2

vocal shard
#

Steel series artic 3 is only 120🤔

twin jacinth
#

Astro a50 is pretty good
mic is shit but confy af with good sound
costs like 300 bucks though xD

vocal shard
#

i have an hyper x cloud 2 too

#

headset is amazing

#

Yeah I want a good mic. And 300 is way to much my headset was 200 lol

#

mic is meh

outer marsh
#

nah its a decent mic, you mustve just gotten unlucky

vocal shard
#

but still usable

outer marsh
#

definitely doesnt sound like it came off of a helicopter at least lmao

glossy wharf
#

i literally

#

returned it

#

and got a new one

vocal shard
#

Mixed story's but I'm gonna pass. Don't want any risk

glossy wharf
#

it sounds shit compared to what you can get

#

for that price

outer marsh
#

ive done that before too. and sometimes you dont get a better one

glossy wharf
#

Yea when the whole production line has a bad mic

#

it wont sound better

twin jacinth
#

That's cloud 2
Not Hyperx Cloud Flight
2 different headsets :P

gotten really good reviews

glossy wharf
#

thats what i was saying jufo

#

i just personally dont buy from the same brand again when i get a bad product eh?

twin jacinth
#

True

outer marsh
#

i generally ignore the brand as long as they have customer support, and just look at reviews from a couple places, no reason to hold a grudge on one brand if they make a bad model of something

twin jacinth
#

Makes them unactractive to buy from again as you've had bad experience with them in the past
when you keep getting something that's not up to the standards you'd not want to buy from them again, i know that feeling.

safe prism
#

like

outer marsh
#

well of course, but thats only because its basic human nature to avoid things that give bad experiences, not because its actually a good idea

safe prism
#

i love the arctis 7 up until i broke them from sleeping with them

#

mic sounded as good as any other mic

#

sound just find

glossy wharf
#

Well a company that produced a bad product has a good chance of producing another bad product as they just seem to lack quality testing then

vocal shard
#

Ooh nice and I see I can gtbone for 135 euro

umbral reef
#

With that logic i would be sing apple products even tough i dislke all there products 👀
Basic reviews often dont explain it all and companies can claim all they want so not trusting an cmpany after a stupid AF action is not odd

glossy wharf
#

so why would i try my luck again

outer marsh
#

thats why i said read reviews, not randomly buy them

safe prism
#

also diff teams work on diff products

outer marsh
#

from multiple sites

glossy wharf
#

reviews can be bought now

#

and its common business practice to do so

safe prism
#

buy it, try it, return it if it's shit

vocal shard
#

Spreading your chances

glossy wharf
#

Yea but i would rather not have to go through that

outer marsh
#

yes, if you dont look at the accounts that posted them. they typically have 1 post and the account was made within 3-4 months

glossy wharf
#

instead id just order someone elses product

twin jacinth
#

Apple is trash 😂
Change my mind

Yeah true but really if they produce a bad product there's a chance to do it again
there goes the chance they had to make a name for themself

outer marsh
#

apple IS trash, no readon to change ur mind there

glossy wharf
#

Apple is good for media production.

#

thats why its widely used there.

#

i still prefer my own desktop with windows

#

though

umbral reef
#

Its OS is good for media and editing programs

#

There products are not

safe prism
#

idk dude

vocal shard
#

It good just overpriced imo

twin jacinth
#

Still trash considering all the down sides 🤷

outer marsh
#

"you're holding your phone wrong" - apple

safe prism
#

give me a portable laptop with 12 hour battery life and a 4c8t CPU in it

quartz basin
#

Some new iPhones don't even charge.

vocal shard
#

Dongles all the way

safe prism
#

protip, you can't outside of apple.

meager solstice
#

they actually just fixed that with the latest update from my understanding @quartz basin

umbral reef
#

You can- Just throthly the CPU

#

just like apple does 👏

safe prism
#

i don't need it to be fast af, i have a desktop for it

outer marsh
#

LUL

safe prism
#

i need the cores

umbral reef
#

Thermal throttle bby

vocal shard
#

Any bad story's about the artic 7?if not I think I will go with that one

outer marsh
#

apples laptops abuse those poor cpus ):

quartz basin
#

It fries your CPU

safe prism
#

literally just don't sleep in it, and don't expect it to be quick on wireless mode for games like beat saber

quartz basin
#

Anyway, Apple are really third-world tier when it comes to support.

twin jacinth
#

@vocal shard
Just search ''>headsetname< review''

#

Look at a few different sites with different opinions and youtube is a good source too

vocal shard
#

Yes I see only good thing so far just making sure. No one has a bad story lol

outer marsh
#

their support is literally "lie to you about fixing product, tell you its cheaper to juyst buy a new one" xd unless its replace the battery. they can do that, about it

twin jacinth
#

Only thing i dont like is how it sits on the head along with the feel of the material but thats just me

quartz basin
#

If something in my Thinkpad breaks, I can just replace it.

#

Apple laptops? Lol

safe prism
#

rarely breaks unless you're doing dumb shit

#

._.

#

or apple's done dumb shit more recently

vocal shard
#

Yeah one way to find out if it fits my head. More nervous about the mic quality

safe prism
#

for vrchat, it sounds exactly like the oculus mic

vocal shard
#

That's a good thing?

twin jacinth
#

I think its good
my brother has it and no complains from friends on bad quality

vocal shard
#

Nice

glossy wharf
#

Sounding like oculus mic isnt necessarily a good thing

vocal shard
#

Oof

glossy wharf
#

flashbacks to the 1/3 chance of getting scuffed mic

#

nah it should be fine

#

purrito

#

oculus usually has a good mic

#

there were some with scuff mics tho

#

but okano is referencing the good ones

vocal shard
#

Okay I hope so

safe prism
#

i mean

#

vrchat crunches mic quality so much

outer marsh
#

oh so is that why everyone sounds like the russians from CSGO?

safe prism
#

ye

glossy wharf
#

BLYAT

#

yo okano

#

do you have any experience with sutdio microphones

outer marsh
#

i have an AT2020 set up, what u need

safe prism
#

ye same

#

i have a non-enthusiast level of experience

glossy wharf
#

i want a studio mic

#

and a mixer

#

currently i have a usb studio mic

sullen pumice
#

anyone knows where I can find microphone avatar or avatar with microphone ?

outer marsh
#

as in a literal microphone as an avatar? no clue but if u find one let me know sounds funny

sullen pumice
#

😄

#

sure will

ancient kayak
#

Uhh I don't know how to ask properly but basically wht I'm trying to do is a second copy of avatar that can follow all my move like when I run it just do as I do. So uh how to do it?

glossy wharf
amber spindle
#

Does anyone know why the UI disappeared for both me and my friends?

#

It just happened suddenly

glossy wharf
#

maybe someone with a ui cancellation shader

#

shouldnt happen though

#

🤔

amber spindle
#

Nope

#

I reloaded

#

Restarted VRChat

#

Still gone

#

And my avatar is a jumbled mess

glossy wharf
#

Idk

vocal shard

#

wa

#

@vocal shard

You're in the wrong place.

glossy wharf
tacit plank

Believe me you guys are better than me in that area

#

I'm adding stuff to my world but all the characters that I can think of are too obscure

ivory zealot
#

Rias Gremory is always a good one

rigid crescent

Basically the ones you already see all the time

rocky otter
#

hello i'm sorta new to vr chat I haven't played in a while

vocal trellis
#

Populair atm? Hmmmm

#

Hero academia

#

Only one I can think of

#

And I see it all the time

@mystic grail dm it

mystic grail
#

Its basically a vrchat party community, tons of dj's, full body dancers and all that

#

Celebrating 1000 members

rocky otter
#

well if my computerdoesn't lag too much i can probably join

mystic grail
#

you should, there's gonna be lots of drinking and dancing all that good stuff

rocky otter
#

cool

mystic grail
#

Would be a shame to miss out on such a thing

#

Admins should totally put it in the events tab

rocky otter
#

well I would love tobut I have a very bad laptop so it's gonna lag a lot for me

mystic grail
#

That sucks

rocky otter
#

I mean i'll still join

mystic grail
#

Rent a powerfull pc for like a day

rocky otter

Does anyone know if the Just dance maps are actually broke none are working???

olive mulch
#

👏 im bored

#

To whoever suggeted hero academia earlier, thank you

rocky otter
tacit plank
#

I'm adding a Toga

ashen elbow
#

Can someone help me?? It says "Could not log in - "Unanuthorized"" what does it mean?

floral aspen
#

it means your password is wrong

gusty saddle
#

so, I was using a bomberman avatar with the ISIS song on it and some arabic guy came to me and said "you're making fun of my region, you think that's funny?"

#

how is that making fun of his region?

#

and then he proceeded to tell me that he put me in a kill list

#

lmao

olive mulch
#

@gusty saddle dude i wanna see that for myself

quartz flax
#

When I'm trying to set the animation to humanoid its says that I have some issues with rig or something

gusty saddle
#

you can even get the avatar on a world

vocal shard
#

I can only imagine what 'the avatar' is

quartz flax
#

I'm talking about unity

gusty saddle
#

it's just the bomberman with explosions in his back and ISIS song going on

ashen elbow
#

@floral aspen No it cant becuase i have same pass to the website and vrchat right?

quartz flax
#

can someone answe rto me?!?!?

olive mulch
#

i need someone to play with cus im boooooreeeed

vocal shard
#

Would answer you Electro if I knew the answer

ivory folio
#

Can you show us the errors? @quartz flax

quartz flax
#

Yes one sec

vocal shard
#

thanks

quartz flax
#

Now it shows me other error

#

look

ivory folio
#

Move over to the avatars/avatar rigging channels first

languid beacon
#

@gusty saddle he meant religion

ivory folio
#

Or you'll upset the pseudo mods

vocal shard
#

@gusty saddle did you write down his name ?

quartz flax
#

How?

#

"Move over to the avatars/avatar rigging channels first" how to?

vocal shard
#

by clicking on the name of the channel

olive mulch
#

guess i'll die

ivory folio
#

Just continue this conversation in those channels

languid beacon
#

And if you have isis anything in public worlds and do not expect kicks/muted/blocks/warns/reports, you’re a little dim but I suspect you are not.

quartz flax
#

I'm there

gusty saddle
#

@vocal shard I did not but I can easily get it

vocal shard
#

do it please

#

i wanna check if he was serious about the kill list

gusty saddle
#

he also tried to crash me but since I have a slow internet he triggered it before it was loaded for me

#

so he crashed my friend (he is also arabic)

vocal shard
#

your friend should report him

#

but it's probably too late

languid beacon
#

Which trust category do you disable to block crashing

ivory folio
#

Avatars :^)

languid beacon
#

Thanks

#

RIP grey and blue tag avatars

vocal shard
#

@languid beacon animations.

#

particles activated through a hand gesture will still show

#

meaning that they can crash with that if you don't have a particle limiter

languid beacon
#

See I thought it would have been animations

vocal shard
#

also wtf moons

languid beacon
#

I have particles, lights, and sounds disabled for all but trusted and friends anyway. All other stuff is ok for all ranks. Guess I’ll just take away a few low rank animations

vocal shard
#

feelsbadman

#

i get blocked by adeon by default vrcfrown

gusty saddle
#

okay @vocal shard it was "azooz3"

languid beacon
#

I’m not even trusted myself

#

Hey I can hear your voice, see your avatar, and see your shaders even if you are visitor. That’s good enough for most people lol

vocal shard
#

i love how he got the typical crash avatar

#

absolutely perfect

languid beacon
#

I feel like the priority should be fixing the loophole that crashes the client in the first place

vocal shard
#

what do you mean ?

languid beacon
#

Crashing is clearly doing something that could have been handled by the client better

sterile drift
#

Memory leak crashes

median basalt
#

@languid beacon if you don't wanna get crashed then the only way to do that is not playing the game

sterile drift
#

Though thought they fixed that loophole

vocal shard
#

they can crash some drivers

median basalt
#

Since people are using network-related crashers now that don't even need an avatar loaded at all

vocal shard
#

like audio drivers

median basalt
#

The most reliable anti-crash is having a particle limiter on.

vocal shard
#

and your PC will just bluescreen

median basalt
#

Even with incredibly generous settings

languid beacon
#

@median basalt well yes as I am not a developer that is true. But that is not the case for a developer

vocal shard
#

and yeah

median basalt
#

As long as network exploits exist people will be vulnerable to crashes

sterile drift
#

Aren't we all developers in our own rights?

vocal shard
#

you can crash people without even getting in the game

median basalt
#

Yep

languid beacon
#

If a VRChat developer does not want to crash, they patch the client 😉

#

That’s what I’m saying pls fix exploit

#

Trust tools are nice but don’t fix the root problem crashing shouldn’t be possible in the first place

vocal shard
#

but you can't patch crashes.

sterile drift
#

I mean crashing in general shouldn't be allowed

#

I mean

#

Possible

#

Whups

languid beacon
#

To me it sounds like it could be a few sanity checks that aren’t happening

sterile drift
#

I mean I'm kinda insane myself so

sullen totem
#

got that right

languid beacon
#

If animations are crashes than there is most likely a way to determine if an animation is a crashed by the data be it file size or any other measurable metric

vocal shard
#

what if is spawn a simple sphere with a crash shader ?

languid beacon
#

You said it was animations

vocal shard
#

yeah

#

so you block all animations

#

so nobody can make any expressions

#

or spawn any object made for their avatars

languid beacon
#

That’s the opposite of what I said

#

I said blocking things is not the solution

olive mulch
#

agreed

#

i hate blocking

umbral reef
#

Then what is?

vocal shard
#

then how do you reliably check if something is meant to crash ?

olive mulch
#

playing minecraft

languid beacon
#

Not anything a user can do. The exploits themselves need to be patched by a dev

cerulean dust
#

I'm no programmer, but would it be possible to allow blendshapes while disabling the other animations?

umbral reef
#

Thats not an solution also

vocal shard
#

but you can crash with sounds, shader, particles

languid beacon
#

Or failing that better sanity checks to decline specific animations from triggering regardless of trust rank

vocal shard
#

you have the option to limit or block those

median basalt
#

Well, with how much freedom you have @sterile drift

#

There's always gonna be some form of crashing

umbral reef
#

Sanity checks? Do we need to write an essay before we can upload then 🤔

median basalt
#

I'm sure dynamic bone can crash people too.

languid beacon
#

Hypothetical example: let’s say huge file size animations cause a crash. You limit the max file size of an animation that will actually play

median basalt
#

That's already kinda what they're doing

#

If some form of exploit pops up they try to fix it

#

But new stuff pops up all the time

vocal shard
#

some people like floppiii make big animation that are 3-4 minutes long

#

pretty heavy animation files

umbral reef
#

Hypothetical stuff has to be left out of an real thing...
If we want to fix the communication people thinking of hypotheticals wont help

vocal shard
#

so they will get fucked

umbral reef
#

We know what can cause crashes

languid beacon
#

But they don’t crash

#

So it isn’t file size

#

It’s a hypothetical example

median basalt
#

@cerulean dust theoretically yes that would be possible

umbral reef
#

Its like the material story-
We can be short and raw and just flat out say more shader cause lagg

#

Meanwhile there are a lot more factors and plenty of special cases where something on an shader causes extra lagg or fixing something on a shader makes it less bad

languid beacon
#

If the client is crashing due to excessive memory usage than limit the max amount of memory and dropping. Missing avatars or textures is better than crashing

median basalt
#

Yeah but then they need a pretty extensive system to just drop out the less important stuff

#

Not sure how much control they have over the engine like that.

umbral reef
#

Pretty sure if liming the max amount of memory the game can use and if it passes an threshold it swaps out lagg causing problems they would have made it ages ago

median basalt
#

Not to mention

#

What if the game is using 3 GB of RAM

umbral reef
#

An system like that would cause lots of work and fairly sure would even cause lagg itself

median basalt
#

And someone loads a large avatar

#

It should go to like 5 GB

#

Hypothetically

umbral reef
#

And it has to read pc specs GWnanamiLaceShrug

median basalt
#

How would it know to increase the RAM or just crash?

#

Most crashers aren't RAM-related either

sterile drift
#

5GB avatars

median basalt
#

There is just one network exploit that fills up the game's RAM and would crash you either way.

languid beacon
#

Well the client can already drop out shaders. Avatars, animations, etc whenever they want .

sterile drift
#

I remember someone saying they had an avatar that downloads Fortnite to your PC lol

umbral reef
#

Uuu no?

#

It can be toggled

#

Not dropped out

median basalt
#

@sterile drift webpanels and VR IK were a sight to behold honestly. Someone who knew both of those exploits had infinite power.

sterile drift
#

Lol

median basalt
#

You could execute any code on any machine.

umbral reef
#

Its like saying an car can slow down and stop within a mili second...

#

Big diffrence

median basalt
#

That's why webpanels were emergency patched

sterile drift
#

Yea

median basalt
#

Because the webpanel exploit was only usable in worlds, but VR IK suddenly put that on an unmoderated avatar system(!)

rough pulsar
#

My knowledge of OS Memory management is somewhat limited, but in general my experience with applications hitting memory limits (both hard, no more RAM to use) and soft usually end up in it being terminated rather than just stopping using more.

languid beacon
#

I mean if it comes down to it why not automatically invoke safe mode if memory gets too high

median basalt
#

I'm amazed the game didn't collapse right there

#

Devs acted quickly enough for sure

#

@languid beacon what is "too high" memory exactly?

cerulean dust
#

Ideally , all uploaded avatars ought to be tested in a server side automated sandbox by triggering all emotes and gestures just before uploading. If it takes too many resources or starts a crash, deny upload.

Dunno how feasible this will be thou.

umbral reef
#

Because it aint an one day or even one week job?

median basalt
#

Also, malicious crashes don't really care about RAM at all

sterile drift
#

"Too high" as in 20 of your 24 gigs of RAM gets used up.

median basalt
#

Even if you have 64 GB

sterile drift
#

Remember that Rokk?

median basalt
#

Yeah, but suppose

umbral reef
#

@cerulean dust Simple said, as much as having an staff team try them out manually

median basalt
#

Suppose someone does that network exploit to fill up your RAM and the game drops avatars

#

The exploit keeps going and still ends up filling up everything and the game cannot continue

languid beacon
#

95%? I’m not a dev @median basalt

median basalt
#

95% of what exactly?

#

PC's have swap space so uh

umbral reef
#

Then what if im running an background program? Should that be part of that %?

languid beacon
#

I don’t know I’m not a dev

umbral reef
#

Im all for different systems as well- Change has to be an thing at one point
But an idea like this isnt being worked on because its not worth the work it would take

#

By the time an system like this works the trust system is perfect

sterile drift
#

Again, in our own rights, we're kinda our own devs in a way.

#

We create content for this game, yes

languid beacon
#

I’m just saying it seems like there are better solutions than a trust system and putting it all on honor system

vocal shard
#

@cerulean dust that wouldnt work, they dont even have enough people to moderate the game, so testing every single avatar that get uploaded is not possible

sterile drift
#

But we aren't the main developers of the platform.

median basalt
#

Well there are better solutions than the current trust system for sure

#

IMO

#

Or rather a lot of tuning I would personally do

#

But you can't ever truly be rid of crashing without getting rid of freedom. Someone will find some sort of exploit

#

Unity is not made to prevent intentional crashing

umbral reef
#

It would be dope if you can still upload an big whitelist of shaders and an reward within the trust system is uploading non whitelisted stuff

languid beacon
#

Don’t get me wrong I think the trust system is great as a user feature

umbral reef
#

That way most peeps can still learn how to make avatars, use fairly complex shaders that get vetted and at an later point make the dope dope stuff

#

But im far from knowledgeable on shaders so...

median basalt
#

Well, IMO that's one thing I suggested when the upload gate was first implemented

cerulean dust
#

@vocal shard ,I meant automated testing. a beefy computer or a group of computers just loads up avatars as they are uploaded and triggers all emotes/gestures. And just monitors performance before saying pass or fail.

median basalt
#

Allow new users to upload right away but limit them to a select few components. Basically just an avatar descriptor, Animator, and (skinned) mesh renderer

vocal shard
#

uhh

languid beacon
#

I stick with the default 2x shield and have not crashed since the trust update

median basalt
#

That would take a vast amount of infrastructure for something that they could figure out how to bypass

#

For example, by putting the crashy object on an animator that only starts working after a minute, or only if you do the right sequence of emotes/gestures.

vocal shard
#

i stick with the non safety with a particle limiter and i'm still waiting to get crashed

median basalt
#

I want to turn the particle limiter on but I don't wanna miss the playerlocal effects

languid beacon
#

Burr it only takes one oldbie to ruin that record and I know a lot of immature trusted users who I don’t think should have been placed into their rank :p

umbral reef
#

Having an hard cap on whitelisted avatars with an max amount
An hard cap on poly's
And get that thing that makes the particle limiter effective (forgot the thing)

#

And boom- The system is a lot more safe for new users while they can upload

it's dumb that the limiter also remove the localcollision

#

really dumb

#

and doesnt make any sense

umbral reef
#

The longer ya go the more stuff gets fully lifted

median basalt
#

@vocal shard it should be an option in the limiter itself

vocal shard
#

yep

median basalt
#

But still, this removal of collision is exactly what makes it so effective even with the settings set very generously.

vocal shard
#

also a json file shouldnt be made manually

#

just put some sliders in-game

median basalt
#

Yeah, it feels like they kinda abandoned the limiter maybe.

#

Could fit into the new system pretty smoothly I think

vocal shard
#

and yet, that's all i use

safe prism
#

i think it's just a preliminary system that doesn't have UI yet

vocal shard
#

going 5-6 months without crashing now

Is there a reason the particle limiter is not more easily accessible

#

Yeah, it's in beta

#

hello

languid beacon
#

Hi.

vocal shard
#

hi

livid gull
#

how is everyone on this wonderful day? looks out window okay... on this gloomy day...

languid beacon
#

You upload custom avatars by —- oh ok yes nice day

vocal shard
#

doing fine, a bit bored, you ?

livid gull
#

bored =_=

#

what programs do people use to make custom avatars? I assume blender is number one of course..

languid beacon
#

W o r k i n g. With discord on phone under desk. The usual .

livid gull
#

lol, very nice

vocal shard
#

unity is mandatory if you wanna use them for vrchat

#

blender is free

#

and there is the CATS plugin made for it

#

so it's the default choice for people

#

some people use pmx editor or maya

median basalt
#

Unity is number one, Blender is a close second. You technically don't need Blender, any 3D Modeling program will do

#

But Blender is free and has the most support for this game

grave dagger
#

Discord at work crew represent 👌

vocal shard
#

you basically have a toll that makes everything automated and fast

languid beacon
#

Avatar creation (from scratch) can be done in anything that can export rigged 3D wireframe models. Typically blender. If the avatar model has already been made you only need unity.

median basalt
#

You technically don't need Blender, but you'll have a hard time optimizing your models

#

Without some form of 3d modeling program

sterile drift
#

Yep

#

True that

grave dagger
#

Its a good way to learn blender too 😃

sterile drift
#

And having them work in general honestly.

dapper sentinel
#

Discord at workPoiBlush

median basalt
#

I heard from some people that modeling from scratch is easier in something like zbrush

grave dagger
#

i knew nothing about it at first and now im decent

livid gull
#

interesting, i'm not great with blender because i'm too used to 3dsmax and Maya, but i'm thinking of learning it =_= as long as it doesn't force my brain to forget zbrush lol

median basalt
#

You start with a very high poly model and retopo it with shrinkwrap or something

sterile drift
#

I wouldn't be able to get anywhere without Blender with my Pokemon models

#

They'd be broke.

median basalt
#

Same with my ace attorney models

#

bone1 yeah sure buddy

#

Good luck assigning that

sterile drift
#

Yep

#

Bone1 bone2 bone3 yeeep

languid beacon
#

I’ve been trying to learn blender for years but it never clicked. Unity on the other hand I only got into unity via VRChat and found it easy to pick up, not only that, after learning unity, blender makes more sense and has since finally clicked

sterile drift
#

Name those bones proper then you'll be able to know what you're doing

median basalt
#

3D modeling in general will never click for me. Absolutely no artistic* stuff will

sterile drift
#

Though I didn't do that with the Hyrule Warriors models

#

Yea same here

#

Nowhere near an artist.

livid gull
#

sculpting is super fun, but i'm pretty much dead inside when the animation aspect comes into play

umbral reef
#

Anything 3D in any field is legit unknown shit for me

#

I cant handle those things

languid beacon
#

I am not artistic in the least . 3D modeling, or rather, the knowledge of how to use a 3D modeler, is not artistic skill. It is technical skill. It does not take practice, like art does. It takes mere learning.

#

Now making nice things in a 3D modeler is art.

livid gull
#

it really does... some programs have a really high bar when it comes to the starting point so it feels impossible

languid beacon
#

But that has nothing to do with learning how to use it

median basalt
#

I think I have aphantasia or something, I legit cannot discern whether something looks "good" if I'm the one creating it. For example whether the proportions on something are off

rough pulsar
#

3D is difficult because you need a balance of technical skill and artistic ability.
Both can be learned.

median basalt
#

Can take me up to 10 minutes to align a prop in such a way that it'll face the right way when I hold it in my hand in VR

#

Since I legit can't visualize what it should look like

vocal shard
#

sounds annoying

median basalt
#

Yes

languid beacon
#

We are talking about how to use a pencil vs how to sketch drawing

median basalt
#

For guns it's a little bit easier since I just work off memory for those

#

Still have to peek at my older models a lot

languid beacon
#

Learning blender requires no artistic skill . It’s all technical. Artistic skill is only relevant in content creation, not learning the tool itself

median basalt
#

Yeah, thankfully

#

Fixing up existing models is something I'm becoming better at, as well as putting parts together (to some degree)

#

Just creating stuff from scratch is very difficult

livid gull
#

getting directions right always frustrated me lol

languid beacon
#

You have no idea how good your handwriting is if you don’t learn how to click a pen open

livid gull
#

if that gizmo in 3dsmax didn

#

oops... hit enter... lol

median basalt
#

Lol, my handwriting is actually pretty shit as well

#

Motor skill deficiencies or something

livid gull
#

anyway.... if that gizmo didn't exist i would definitely be lost

languid beacon
#

People who assemble custom mmd avatars just mix and match avatar parts they need no artistic or even modeling skill of their own once you know how to manipulate, copy, split, join, and resize meshes it’s all just legos

#

Being able to make stuff from scratch is the ideal but there are so many baby steps along the way that some are perfectly happy with stopping at

median basalt
#

Well, you still gotta pick the right parts

#

To make it look good and consistent

languid beacon
#

It doesn’t take much. If you can fuse avatars together and make a decent custom avatar that way, you’re already a wizard to a lot of people in VR chat.

static hemlock
#

@languid beacon gotta start somewhere also that wizardry helps motivate many to get into it don’t see it as a bad thing if not no one would want the content we create 🤷‍♂️

languid beacon
#

I didn’t mean it in a negative way in the slightest I’m saying, not even starting because you don’t feel like your artistic enough to make something from scratch isn’t the right way of thinking

livid gull
#

fusing avatars is kind of like the core of art in terms of juxtaposition, but just one aspect of it

#

best to just try, when i sculpt i don't think much... i just say "hey.. is this bad... sure lets go with that"

#

even when people start creating something they often block it out to help with solidifying their actual idea, but switching left to right brain thought is never easy and we all favor one thought over another

tight bloom
#

I can’t even make avatars but I’m an artist so...

dusty crescent

Can I invite a moderator without reporting someone?
There is an invisible hacker

#

make sure you bring gloves

vocal shard
#

Just start watching videos

#

Or pay someone to teach you

slim temple
#

If you're an artist you might want to look at oculus medium or kanova or masterpiecevr

#

Or sculptvr tiltbush and Google poly

#

Or blocks.

#

Then you just need to learn to rig and make shape keys which isnt so bad. If you find blender annoying try metaseqoia

#

I've got the opposite problem of not being super artistic but I can sculpt

#

And building models from a character sheet I can do.

#

3d will get easier over time as better tools come out, but vr makes it pretty easy for anyone to build 3d. I just hope someone releases an armature first tool like rigmesh but in vr

#

Because weight painting is still a mess.

ruby burrow
#

I was talking to a friend last night, how I'm looking forward to future VR based creative tools. Working directly in 3D, and pulling meshes around Iron Man style ( Y'know, how he does with the holograms whenever he's in his garage ).

#

Tiltbrush was the thing to get me into wanting vr

#

I still dont have it GWtloLaugh

#

But when I do I'm getting Tiltbrush, it's like a childhood dream come true

ruby burrow
#

Being able to just use two hands to shrink or expand and rapidly re-orient around a model will make fine detail work really easy to visualise and get in close.

safe prism
#

try UE4 or 3DS Max's VR modes

#

maya might have it too

ruby burrow
#

Hmm. Is it possible for orthographic view to still work from a VR display though?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

mystic sierra

I am in need of help~ I seem to be unable to connect to the game~ ;3;

safe prism
#

i'll try 3DS's real fast

ruby burrow
#

Is curious trying to figure out the pros and cons, and which tools and methods would work better, worse, or even become obsolete.

#

Especially as time goes on I mean, and the potential new methods are better discovered.

mystic sierra
#

I have been trying to connect to VRC for an hour and half, I have tried a lot of things. VR, Desktop, Restarting my computer, Deleting Cache, Re-Installing the game, and it still gives me the same message that my connection has timed out before I even see the "Loading...". I don't know what to do anymore~

floral bluff
#

Have you tried contacting support to see if its a known issue?

mystic sierra
#

I haven't contacted them yet because I dunno if I'm the only one. Everyone else I've talked to said they were fine. ;3;

floral bluff
#

They might still be able to give you advice

#

Also have you tried other online games?

#

Do you get connection errors on them

mystic sierra
#

Yes. :3 Beat Saber, Pavlov, Payday, Killing Floor Incursion. All VR Games and they seem to be fine. My internet is working properly as far as I can see.

floral bluff
#

Yeah then i would go with the support email

frank pawn
#

I just joined a world that caps my framerate to 4 FPS everytime I join it.

mystic sierra
#

Maybe I'll just stay out for today and see if it continues tomorrow. Because then I know it's something bad.

frank pawn
#

By world I meant a specific lobby

floral bluff
#

That could be your pc or the models in the world cyber

frank pawn
#

I thought so too

#

Shame I wasn't able to find who was causing it

floral bluff
#

Cause worlds arent published if they have really bad optimisation

#

Safety settings can help but it could be models with a ridiculous amount of dynamic bones and meshs

frank pawn
#

Isn't there a limit to how many bones and meshes a avatar could have?

floral bluff
#

Im not informed enough to know tbh

#

I have seen a model with 500 dynamic bones once

ruby burrow
#

At present, no. There is a poly limit, but there's many easy ways around that. And there's no limit on bones, or many other performance heavy items.

frank pawn
#

That's unfortunate

ruby burrow
#

If you're able to do anything in an instance like that, you can always try blocking the avatars of individuals one at a time to see if that fixes it.

#

I was once hanging out in a world with multiple people just fine, when along came a alien model with two long highly detailed talis that moving suspiciously smoothly.

#

So I blocked that person to test if it was them, and then let them know they were tanking everyone's FPS.

#

They apologised and switched avatars.

#

Said they had around 100+ dynamic bones in each tail.

#

Looked awesome, but hard to appreciate it at 10fps.

floral bluff
#

Yeah i think there's a canny post about adding a dynamic bone toggle to safety settings

frank pawn
#

I'll try doing that next time it happens then, thanks.

ruby burrow
#

It'd make more sense to go in a performance setting than safety. Although the current system would be able to implement it quickly and easily.

smoky hatch
#

hello

languid beacon
#

I wish they’d be stricter on material and bone count and more lax on max polys

rigid crescent
#

how can they be more lax on max polys than they already are

languid beacon
#

20000 is pretty limiting almost everyone uses the second mesh animation trick

rigid crescent
#

i can't say I've seen a 20k or less avatar that wasn't a block or something intentionally silly in a long, long time

languid beacon
#

That’s my point

rigid crescent
#

it's just modifying the sdk, not some animation trick

#

i mean ,that's an option, but everyone just edits the sdk

languid beacon
#

Modding the sdk is very clearly against the rules

rigid crescent
#

yes, which is my point

#

they're so lax on in that literally nothing happens when you violate the limit

#

despite it being against the TOS

#

they even approve worlds with avatars they know are well over that limit

languid beacon
#

we are perfectly agreeing but I can’t help but feel you are disagreeing

#

They don’t check avatar pedistals

rigid crescent
#

You're saying they should be more lax when they're already as lax as they could possibly be except for just changing the SDK themselves to be a higher count

languid beacon
#

I’d like to not feel like I’m breaking the rules and could be banned if they have a change of opinion

worldly comet
#

what they should be heavily checking isn't the polys but the amount of materials and so on

rigid crescent
#

It's fine, because if you do get banned, odds are nearly you know got banned too, so what's the point in playing at that point eh?

idle elm
#

Boneless VRChat

rigid crescent
#

and most people playing the game, I'd hazard a guess over 50%

#

well, over 50% of people creating content that is

languid beacon
#

So yes my 50K avatar is more laggy being split into 3 meshes and would be better optimized by breaking the rules

rigid crescent
#

basically

languid beacon
#

But I’m doing it the way they instruct

rigid crescent
#

I never said not to, like I said

#

they're as lax as they possibly can be other than modifying the number of the poly limit themselves officially

#

what isn't lax about it, exactly? They know everyone does it, im willing to guess a few of them do it, mods are probably doing it too

#

I get you're afraid to break the rules, but t hat doesn't mean they're not lax on the poly limit is what I'm trying to get at

languid beacon
#

20k limit isn’t lax. I am not taking breaking the rules into consideration

rigid crescent
#

So they're lax on the poly limit enforcement

#

which is nearly the same thing...

languid beacon
#

Sure with the added exception of being entirely justified in banning you later due to the repeated teleport screen warnings

#

What part of “in any way for any reason” feels like it has exceptions to you lol

cerulean dust
#

Up until 2015 , most AAA titles had models under 20,000 polys. it is an acceptable limit if you are a professional. For a noob or a hobbyist, it is pretty limiting.

ruby needle
#

That might be true, but is that a excuse?
Makind custom 3D content has never been a everyones task

cerulean dust
#

I still don't know why the 20k limit though, even if bypassing it seems pretty harmless.

rigid crescent
#

If they end up banning everyone doing it, I think I'd be fine

languid beacon
#

Most games don’t have you up close and personal with avatars either or when they do, they use much more detailed cutscene models

rigid crescent
#

my entire friends list would be out of the game, so I don't really see the point after that

ruby needle
#

I can agree that a limit of maybe 32k or in that range would be a lot better to optimize for

languid beacon
#

Social things like vrchat demand detail for avatars that most games don’t have or need

cerulean dust
#

^

rigid crescent
#

that's just how I "justify" it to myself, not that it matters

#

no point in playing a game where all the people who made content are gone lol

#

so might as well get yeeted along side them

languid beacon
#

I’m not being coy I know dev will not ban anyone for it it’s just not my point

#

Being practical should not involve breaking the rule

#

Playing by the rules shouldn’t be being stupid

rigid crescent
#

it shouldn't, be enforcement is as lax as it possibly can be

#

which is what matters as of now

cerulean dust
#

I wish whatever they use to check material count on avatars while testing public worlds make it into the api.

languid beacon
#

Got a question. Does Turning off custom animations for a rank stop secondary meshes from activating or as there other means to get around it that people will see?

Because otherwise it effectively caps everyone’s avatars at 65K tris

rigid crescent
#

it jsut sets them to the defaults so yes

languid beacon
#

Nice

ruby burrow
#

Not disagreeing with any of the above discussion itself or anything, but this one sentence...
"i can't say I've seen a 20k or less avatar that wasn't a block or something intentionally silly in a long, long time"
Seems incredibly unlikely. Well beyond that even.

#

Plenty of the most popular avatar worlds still keep things within 20k.

#

Half of my own avatars were already sub 20k without needing to work further on them.

tacit plank
#

I think that more than a half of avatars are above the limit. still many good ones below 20k, but in general it's just a huge pain to decimate most models below that

ruby burrow
#

Yeah. It's impossible to really know the actual ratio, but I'd far sooner assume it's somewhere around 50/50 of avatars being above or below 20k.

#

Whilst a huge portion of avatars are obviously above 20k, I wouldn't actually be surprised if I learned it was less than 50% of them.

opaque hawk
#

100% of my avatars are below 20k polys

#

Some of them you can tell, Some not at all.

ruby burrow
#

People tend to mis-judge the importance of polys in models, and how good even incredibly low poly models can look.

#

Not that I wouldn't still like to see the limit raised to a more logical figure.

#

It's current position is just rather arbitrary when measured against other performance factors.

opaque hawk
#

I feel the limit does more harm than good because it is low.

#

It taught me to decimate as I go

thick flare
#

mine goes from ps4 to ps2 when i decimate them

ruby burrow
#

The way I see it, is that right now the community openly tolerates bypassing the limit, and it's hard to form an argument with any significant weight against doing so. By extension the devs have thus had to tolerate it also.
If the limit was changed to that 65k point at which mesh splitting happens and a noticeable impact actually occurs, then the community would firstly have no need for modifying the SDK, and secondly would quite likely look down upon it as greedy and unnecessary.

#

The player culture would shift against breaking the cap, modding the SDK wouldn't be quite so openly taught and distributed, and you'd thus also get less rookies uploading 300k poly models without realising why that's bad.

thick flare
#

i don't get the point of the last part, mind if you elaborate it?

ruby burrow
#

Well right now, a new player inevitably gets directed to that well known site I think we're not supposed to mention. He downloads a pre-built 30k poly model, discovers it can't upload, and then learns about the modding the SDK. He can now upload anything, and is nudged towards the assumption that this is entirely fine. He doesn't know the difference between 60k and 70k.

thick flare
#

ah

twin vessel
#

It doesn't affect lag much, especially if you have a computer worth a damn

ruby burrow
#

If the cap was high enough that this stuff wasn't a core part of the playerbase's culture, he'd have just uploaded his model at 30k and never needed to investigate messing with the game.

twin vessel
#

Which you should have if you're using vr

thick flare
#

meanwhile, not everyone is using vr

twin vessel
#

Meanwhile it's a VR app

ruby burrow
#

And when he later tries to upload that 70k avatar, he'd be (at least a little) more likely to find players telling him "Don't do that" rather than effortlessly finding how to bypass.

thick flare
#

but yeah, i kind of agree that if you have a potato pc below minimum spec, you shouldn't complain about it

twin vessel
#

Potat

#

o

ruby burrow
#

@twin vessel
Below 65K the performance difference that comes from polygons is incredibly minimal, since it's nearly all just GPU load which is almost never bottlenecked in this game.
Above 65K Unity splits your meshes, which results in textures and materials being loaded twice, and lighting having to be processed twice, etc. This puts extra load on your CPU, which even the best computers frequently max out in this game.

twin vessel
#

I think I've seen like one model with over 65k polys

safe prism
#

unity doesn't have to split them btw!

thick flare
#

it is unity's fault

safe prism
#

just the old FBX importer is scuffed

twin vessel
#

Get naenaed

ruby burrow
#

You've probably seen a bunch. A million poly model can look identical to a 5k model. Unless you have that wireframe shader to check, you have no way to tell.

twin vessel
#

I meant on model sharing websites

#

Not ingame

#

Ah. I've seen at least a few. There's not loads, but that's beside the point anyway.

#

Witchcraft. D:

languid beacon
#

The 20K limit is annoying but you can work around it with higher resolution textures, normalmaps, more materials, and in general various other means that make it more laggy than if the poly restriction weren't there. In short, the limit is dumb.

#

Not that I think anything should change just... I feel like material count is a far bigger problem that deserves being limited

#

I have seen MMD models uploaded as-is because they were under 20K polys but they have like 40 materials

thick flare
#

if it is dumb, it should be changed

languid beacon
#

I don't think the limit should be extended without putting other limits in place to counterbalance

#

after all the poly limit is just... fake anyway

thick flare
#

you mean like raise the limit, but limit the material count at the same time?

languid beacon
#

yeah

#

Everyone ignores the limits anyway

#

might as well make them make sense

thick flare
#

yeah, i bypassed it without modifying the sdk

languid beacon
#

well bypassing it with animations is broken now unless you're high enough rank people won't see the secondary meshes 😛

thick flare
#

i am ok with being invisible

languid beacon
#

alot of people aren't

thick flare
#

if you are seeing me as a plastic model, you might as well not see it at all

#

i mean it's fine for personal avatars but putting public stuff out that does that I'd consider broken and ill-advised

thick flare

not sure if we can call this a good news

rather bad news

opaque hawk

“Actively warns” that is a very intentional wording

vocal shard
#

Aaaa

"Actively warn" as in "BANNED". 👌

raven silo
#

best not mod sdk

#

just lead into more hacking the sdk

opaque hawk
#

Not if it warns you instead of stops you

thick flare
#

i think you got the message wrong

#

what tupper said is they are changing the sdk to warn users about what actually affect the performance (material count, mesh count etc)

#

it is not about the sdk giving you a warning if you modify it ,which is ridiculous as it basically means that you are allowed to modify the sdk.

rough flax

Technically modifying the sdk is ban able but they don't really give a shit about anything In the SDK.

It's actually always around this time that people complain about connection issues.

vocal shard
#

Lol if people get banned for avatars over 20k polys it will be selective banning or 99% of the playerbase will be mass banned

#

A lot of public world avatars are over 20k poly

quartz basin
#

Polys are not even hitting performance too much. It's dynamic bones.

vocal shard
#

Toga, sarma, shonzo etc

#

A lot of avatar world people would be banned for 20k+ poly avatars

#

If they actually banned for 20k+ poly

#

They wont mass ban... They will just use it as a reason to ban someone if they were to ban someone for any reason

median basalt
#

Dynamic bones and material counts

#

Dynamic bones matter far more than people think

#

Materials are easy to losslessly optimize

#

Dynamic bones are harder but very much worth it

#

Most important bit is reducing dynamic bone counts. Using fewer scripts is preferred but won't necessarily have a high impact

#

An avatar with 5 misc accessories with dynamic bone on them will be fine if each one has only 3 bones

vocal shard
#

Or remake the game on a newer engine 😂

median basalt
#

But a single skirt with 30 bones is eh

#

Sure, just remake the entire game

vocal shard
#

But putting bandaids on an old system is better right

#

There should be a dynamic bone restriction

median basalt
#

Sometimes it is yes

vocal shard
#

I think the game would run better if they just change it to the latest version

median basalt
#

Not by itself

#

I mean, it might run a bit better due to inherent optimizations

#

But dynamic bone would still be single threaded

vocal shard
#

Rebuild the game on the newest engine

#

Well

median basalt
#

Same with the IK

vocal shard
#

The performance increase would be better

Than what it is right now

umbral reef
#

Throwing an material cap and dynamic bones cap also would work GWnanamiLaceShrug
Or making the nameplates run a bit better or the Voip system even or again the IK system

thick flare
#

they allow the worlds with overpoly avatar to be published?

vocal shard
#

@thick flare

#

Yes

#

How have you not noticed that, Teito?

blissful current
#

🤔

thick flare
#

i am fairly sure they have a way to check the poly

vocal shard
#

Lmao

#

They dont

thick flare
#

🤔

umbral reef
#

Pretty sure they do but just flat out dont care

vocal shard
#

Do you actually think they even test any of toga's maps seriously?

#

They arent going to ban avatar world makers

#

Lol

#

Im 100% sure all those avatars go over 50k each

#

And the particle spam too

#

You should go save a high poly public avatar then switch to it if you see a dev in game tell them your avatar is over 20k

#

They wont do anything

#

Lmao

thick flare
#

taunt them with nikei

vocal shard
#

Nikei is like 58k yeah?

#

Lol

thick flare
#

21k

vocal shard
#

From the actual game? Didnt think it would be that low

#

I know the y and x bots are way over

#

They are straight from adobe's site

median basalt
#

Nikei is 21k

#

Not sure if X bot and Y bot are over at all, they seem fairly low poly.

#

Devs can see polycounts of models

#

They can simply look at the mesh's data

thick flare
#

thats where i don't get it

median basalt
#

They don't seem to care about polycount too much, which is fair enough.

thick flare
#

why are the world with over 20k poly gets approved?

#

if it is against the rule

median basalt
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vocal shard
#

they want to see if the map itself is optimized, they probably dont even look at the avatars if they are present

thick flare
#

they do

rigid crescent
#

you didnt know this? its not new

median basalt
#

@vocal shard they do look at the avatars now

#

They remark on high material and mesh counts

rigid crescent
#

they do at least glance at avatars

#

yep

median basalt
#

It's pretty horrifying how many public worlds have unoptimized crap in them

#

Public avatar worlds have an extra responsibility to optimize their avatars

glossy wharf
#

@median basalt x and y bot are at 55k

#

And 2 meshes

vocal shard
#

nikkei is a bit more than 20k and have like 5-6 meshes too

median basalt
#

Oof

#

While X and Y bot are two meshes, they don't share any materials across meshes so it's not quite as bad

#

Also easy as heck to decimate imo

vocal shard
#

Some avatars in avatar worlds also have screen space shaders

median basalt
#

The way their joints are set up, there's basically no "smooth" weights

#

So unlike with regular humans, you don't have to worry about decimated legs

#

2 materials is pretty good, I wouldn't even bother atlasing it personally

inner cape
#

Tfw people started putting crasher looking avatars in publics

vocal shard
#

They already did

median basalt
#

Apparently wolf boys are associated with crashers so people are wary around me now

vocal shard
#

🤦

#

Theres a blue ybot going around with like rim light glowing yellow vest with two yellow orbs following him, super sketch with shit tier emotes and gestures

median basalt
#

Oh yeah

#

The stereotype against Y bots isn't inherently unfounded though

vocal shard
#

Thats a public avatar that gives me the aids

thick flare
#

one thing though

inner cape
#

Its more of sniper on the back, mask, cap, shit ton of bright shaders, aids particle spam, loud rap song

#

The usual

#

And now its in publics

vocal shard
#

They tryna be cool, in the hood.

thick flare
#

is an overpoly avatar,atlased, with a hidden avatar for animation (with multiple materials) consider as highly unoptimized ?

vocal shard
#

Yes

inner cape
#

No

sterile drift
#

Once I see a Y-Bot with giant hands, I'm running. Those are big clappers 👏

inner cape
vocal shard
#

Rofl

#

I want to see an avatar swat flies

sterile drift
#

Lol

median basalt
#

@sterile drift oh yeah, I remember one like that in Duck Roulette

#

It grew extra arms and would clap very loudly

sterile drift
#

Lol

median basalt
#

NNOOOOOOO

#

Lmao

inner cape
vocal shard
sterile drift
#

👉 N O

inner cape
#

points vrcwow

#

Youre crashed

vocal shard
#

"You've lost your privs kid. Lol"

sterile drift
#

Lol

#

Imagine that's what the actual message would be when you're notified of Nuisance status

vocal shard
#

"Better luck next time :/"

sterile drift
#

Don't worry I'm making my way to Nuisance soon enough lol

#

Gonna get the rank clap

inner cape
#

put vrpill dancing orange justice in the menu saying "Get gud"

vocal shard
#

Im pretty sure people who would be marked as a nuisance are already banned for toxic behavior, 4 years

sterile drift
#

But then they would just be yoted in general right?

#

Wouldn't be able to come back

#

Nuisance users are an anomaly, you don't see them too often

inner cape
#

I saw 1

vocal shard
#

Im 100% sure if you are a nuisance, you might as well be banned

sterile drift
#

P much

cold talon
#

I've seen non, cuz they are ivizibol 4me LUL

vocal shard
#

Maybe not when they are orange, but when the color is red, yeah get banned

sterile drift
#

But at least if you're nuisance, you have a chance of getting back up if some users give them a second chance

vocal shard
#

I think they fucked it up. They kinda made it sound like once you get the "Pending to be nuisance" tag you basically are going to be marked as one anyways

sterile drift
#

Lol

vocal shard
#

When they showcased the key to the symbols and their meanings, both pending nuisance and nuisance have near identical descriptions. Inescapable rabbit hole

thick flare
#

it is useless though

#

what is stopping me from creating a new account?

#

way easier than getting rid of nuisance

inner cape
#

Your current one

sterile drift
#

The fear of starting over

vocal shard
#

^ thats a big one that gets people the most when they let their guard down

#

It would suck either way

sterile drift
#

People get the wrong idea about Nuisance users, I've heard one tell me that he was getting blocked by a bunch of people purely because he was marked as Nuisance, even though he was already muted by default and such

#

I feel like the kind of stupid stuff I do can get me Nuisance at some point

vocal shard
#

Block the people before they block you. Block4Block

sterile drift
#

I just wanna know what can throw me of the edge

#

Rather than get me banned

#

Not saying I'm trying to do this stuff on purpose btw

#

But like

thick flare
#

be an ass without breaking the rule

sterile drift
#

It's gonna happen

vocal shard
#

I feel like you dont have too much faith in yourself. Maybe just over thinking it

sterile drift
#

Pretty accurate actually Teito

#

Also you cheering me on to get Nuisance? emoji

thick flare
#

i am curious about it

vocal shard
#

You probably dont get told how your behavior affects other people and you just naturally think everything you do is bad

thick flare
#

i might make an alt just to get a nuisance rank

umbral reef
#

Lmao if we have too act like the modern norm of users we cant even breath without being banned

sterile drift
#

Ehh I don't really do like a ton of idiotic stuff in public worlds, I just keep that (mostly) between friends

#

But I do it from time to time

#

Not to be a huge jerk

#

But trying to have some fun with people

thick flare
#

i have a way to get myself kicked without doing anything

vocal shard
#

I do idiotic stuff in public worlds with friends, but its usually between us and anyone who tries to join have a high possibility to getting ignored

thick flare
#

1: join deathrun

#

2: afk until someone else kicks you

sterile drift
#

Lol

#

Ez kik

vocal shard
#

Pug is great to do idiotic stuff in. Simply because of the setting

sterile drift
#

A bar?

vocal shard
#

Yeah lol

sterile drift
#

Just act as drunk as possible

#

Ig

vocal shard
#

Whats also great is that, me and a good friend of mine will find those very lonely people sitting alone or just spectating and have them join in on us, we do them a favor while we have more fun

#

Except more people nowandays take it as an insult rather than an actual favor

sterile drift
#

Oof

vocal shard
#

We magically piss people off just by having them join in on us, its like they get off to being alone

#

We swear we dont ever harass people, we really dont. We just may walk over. Ask them a silly question and carry on with our shtick, but these past 3 days its the same damn response, "go away please", "youre both really annoying" or just silence and insta blocked

ornate lake
#

If it makes you feel better @vocal shard I'm one of those spectator people and enjoy being pulled into things xD

vocal shard
#

Then we need to find you

ornate lake
#

My VR base station died two days ago ;-;, should have the new one today!

sterile drift
#

I remember I was talking with my friend in an Open Mic Night about ripping models from games and such, I was Young Shulk from Xenoblade and my friend was Handsome Jack. During the talk, this one Visitor ranked Steam user just comes in and says to us "Alright y'all are blocked" and he's gone.

thick flare
#

for me it depends on my mood

sterile drift
#

@vocal shard

thick flare
#

sometimes i will just run away

#

won't block though

vocal shard
#

That happens to us too

#

We randomly just talk about people crashing us, but people will just hear "crash" and "crasher", see my avatar and im insta blocked

thick flare
#

they are probably non english speaker

vocal shard
#

My avatar being in my profile picture

sterile drift
#

In this case me and my friend were talking about how ripping models from games is technically stealing and how we basically stole from a company in ripping the models we wanted

#

Dude my avatar is my Discord icon

vocal shard
#

Insta 4 years

#

Toxic behavior, how dare you talk about stealing

sterile drift
#

Oof

#

Gotta run

umbral reef
#

Ez perma ban

vocal shard
#

That vrccore bypass wont save you now boy

sterile drift
#

🏃💨

vocal shard
#

🔨

sterile drift
#

But really I gotta go to bed

#

G'night everybody

thick flare
#

night

vocal shard

Night

vocal shard
#

we always looking for people to hang with at pug, void club, real public places, so if you wish to join in on us, my name here is same as vrchat, my totally not gay partner in crime is BichNuggets Poopoop @ornate lake

#

Just a fair warning, he is sponsored by Coke

ornate lake
#

I'm also jexy on vrchat
No telling when I'll be on considering my sleep schedule is always changing.
I'm still brand new so I don't know where I'll be xD ( not even a week since I got the Vive)
@vocal shard

vocal shard
#

i never saw any of you in the pug

#

and i'm always there

ornate lake
#

Zzz back to work, y'all have fun.

vocal shard
#

Ill be on in 2 hours

#

I always go to pug, but i do hop around a lot if i notice too many streamers. Thats a bad sign imo

thick flare
#

i never saw any of you , pug or not

vocal shard
#

Are the instances still broken?

#

Also I rarely hop in publics anymore, they can get horrifying

thick flare
#

oh wait i am rarely in pug

vocal shard
#

I love pug

#

Its great, always random, always fun

#

Pug could've been great if they just optimized it

#

Bake the lights that's all we ask

#

Realtime, this kills the man

#

I agree

median basalt
#

The lights in the Pug are baked

#

However, there's like 4 mixed lights and one realtime

#

In unnecessary places too

#

Each bathroom has a mixed light, storage has one, the roost has one, and there's a realtime spotlight on stage

#

Apparently

#

It's dumb as hell

vocal shard
#

Get rid of all realtime, the atmosphere isnt worth it

median basalt
#

That's what I think too, it's supposedly a hangout

#

Or give us a toggle

vocal shard
#

I always neverstood the reason for the roost

#

Mixed can be ok if you know where to place ir

#

Or how to work with it

#

Its kinda pointless

#

The roost?

#

you are now all officially blocked by Owlboy

#

The roost yeah, i dont understand the point. Least visited area, and its mostly a "lets talk about stuff for real and not in private world k thx".

#

Or yet another """"musician""" playing all star and the crowd of 2 goes crazy

#

I want to hear unique instruments, please, harmonica, accordian, flutes, violens ffs why is it always a guitar, electric guitar

#

Piano too

#

Maybe because an electric guitar is the easiest to generate with a computer without making it sound fake

#

I want to hear an accordian version of all star

umbral reef
#

And its hard to get something like an Saxophone going- Cant just pick it up and play
Often you have to get it out of the case or replace the reed

vocal shard

Pls not this stupid g string bullshit
