This is a public discord, we're free to voice our opinion as long as it's sensible.
@fleet ice Then go to the email and stop wasting our time also ๐
If you dont want to use the email- Feel free to block 99% of this chat
As people will keeping 'helping' you
i makes no sense to feel adressed if you are not able to give an answer.... do you guys need attention or what?
Yes, lots of attention.
๐คฆ
But we did provide an answer ๐
The exact same one the admins gave a few msgs later even-
I should quit using the clap emote ๐ค
guy keeps asking the same question over and over after getting an answer
people repeat the answer for him
"do you guys need attention" 
People here are actually really helpful and can provide the same answer an admin can in some cases, and in most cases as well the users will answer instead of an admin ๐คท
If you can't deal with people helping you in a public discord you should, as mentioned above not post it here and take it via mail
taking a shit in a public place
ask why people look at him in disgust
still doesn't get it why people look at him in disgust
"people are racist ebcause they block me"
yeah, i'm sure that0s the only reason they block you.
i dont need answers i can get from standard forms, this is not the sense of giving questions on a support email
I don't even know what he means.
If its pure about the support email, then we also gave you the answer
As they do not handle anything that happened within the emails in here
If you want details about that send a new email
but nvm. end of topic
No! Don't go!
Either you learn it the easy way or the hard way.
You definitely don't wanna learn the hard way, not in here.
it's too late
^
you are sure that he won't get any help for a lot of active users around here
@vocal shard ok my friend, did you ever play with a knuckle avatar and were blocked instantly without an obviously reason?? THIS IS FUCKING FRUSTRATING, there are player they life in bad habbits, and this is a serious problem!
What? Using a knuckles avatar is a solid reason to block you.
There's an obvious reason for getting blocked with knuckles avatars and that is they've been used to harass users and generally annoying ๐คท
@quartz basin are you kidding me?
i block knuckles avatars
don't use a trash avatar that 90% of people hate
or if you do, don't complain when people block you
You get triggered getting blocked while using the most cancerous avatar out there?
This is your fucking deal?
Omega LuL
That was 9-10 months ago. Yet it's left a sour taste
this is an mainstream opinion about people they used this avatar in the wrong way.. use your own brain you victim
#metoo
Still does not change the fact that's it's a dead meme and 90% dislike anyone who uses a knuckles avatar
You are welcome to use another avatar which is more appealing.
People can block you for whichever reason they want to and you cant do anything about it, get over it
useless.. no more time for this racists shit here
Plus, it's really generic
Yes, disliking knuckles is now considered being racist.
Knowing that I can finally sleep again
Pretty sure being a knuckle isnt a race 
everything needs to be a race thing apparently
Love waking up early in the morning and start reading this chat, its such a great way to start of the day tbh. Very entertaining
hating a dead meme is being racist now people
Is sex a race? :^)
imma report you to the meme police if you hate on dead memes
Like is sexist racist? :^)
I'm just gonna clap twice and that shit is dead.
Ima drop this fast before i get clapped and #general-media 'd
oh yeah of course.
Alright, move it to random chat, people
Can y'all move on ?
let the community deal with a angry kid but then yeet them out of a channel when the shit storm stopped
Oh dear
Someone get on the Voxel Tower world I wanna play Hide and Go Seek
Hoi
hi
Is there discount on amazon on black friday?
Yes
I always miss the fun ones. That Suiheisen guy LOL
He's still in here so I still have a chance
Yeah, I like to imagine how they can even function irl, assuming they do. Being dumb on the internet is one thing, but imagine saying shit like that to an actual human face to face.
In real life. How can you even live after saying something like that unironically to another human being lol
they don't talk to "normal" people IRL i guess
normal people would just laugh at his face
a Knuckle getting angry because people are blocking him 
"Block avatar" would be better, unless he's also doing the knuckles voice and you don't wanna listen to it
i only block knuckle if they do the old routine
"do you know de wey" and what not
otherwise i can just ignore them
I don't think blocking just the avatar gives a penalty... At least it shouldn't. It's used a lot in the murder game map to make avatars show as they turn invisible randomly
Blocking most likely doesn't either.
discount on everything?=
i hope they will make the 1070 cheaper
would be fun if maps were allowed to force avatars but it'd require a lot of thought
I think blocking has an inpact
a noodle
Otherwise, how is the troll rank achieved?
blocking an avatar shouldnt do anything
since alot of people are blocking them for getting more FPS
Well, you msut need to be blocked by more than 250 people for it ot have any impact
what i mean is, about people who like to be at a certain height or have full body @rigid crescent
That's also a bad system though, because you will get that sooner or later if you play long enough
Oh, they just won't have a choice while in those worlds
forced avatars should be full body compatible just in case
Say, 2000 hours, slowly getting more blocks
Caff- You ok?
Could be x blocks in X time
there's definitely more than one way to make sure that doesn't happen
You honest to god think all blocks just add up and even if you are the highest rnak BOOM ezpz untrusted?
how long do you have to even play to get the gold rank, i havent played for months until like 2 weeks ago
you can't , there isn't one
@gleaming patio No set ammount-
1500 hours
I don't think so, but it's a possibility
2500 for platinum rank
Tl;dr No one knows shit about this system beside rumors and guesses
4000 for diamond
i think as an introvert i might be disadvantaged ๐
also I'm 2k hours and only have about 20 or so people blocked, and about 5 or 6 are old room-crashes where they'd blcok the whole room to make sure they onyl crash one person
thought its also based on friends etc
the rank beneath purple?
"it's a possibility" so is everything
It cna also be its just pure RNG
i am currently, uh, "user"

i have 300 hours and i'm known
i kinda just want my custom shaders to take effect

I just wanted to mentioned it in case they had designed it like that
i mean i set up my avatar to work without them just fine so
i dont look freakish apparently
Well, I know a user with 2k hours and about 200-ish blocks, so i doubt it lol
Because knowing VRChat, some things are just poorly designed
and as far as I've heard peopel talking here, everyone with the nuisance deserved it and it was immediately apparent why they had it once they unmuted them
But not retarded things
but that's obviously only counting the "WHOA I SAW A NUISANCE!" posts I've seen here
i wonder really if things like getting friend requests from trusted users could also have an effect, like the more seasoned user friends you, the more you ascend or something
that it basically acts like a magnet
Friends have too much weight on the system to be honest.
Again- No one knows
All we can do is guess and theory craft
So its imo pointless to do
If your arms are too short, it's difficult to hear other people
I think it's a bit of a combined of the initial request... And how long you spend with those people. Regarding friends
we all know as soon as it owuld be known people would be aiming for that
Friends are one of the things you can absolutely tell has a lot of weight.
That's how VRChat works. So at times I go "you didn't design it in this way, right?" to remind the staff in case they actually did
i hope the system ascends me soon enough
Friends isn't everything though, iris doesn't have the last API rank and she got enough friends to break the menu 
It's enough that people purging have immediately lost rank
wait, so deleting friends descends?
Multiple people have said they've lost rank while doing it, or while deleting avatars.
again
:Kappa:
I mean it's not really speculation when it's happened...
well this seems to be proof that it affects it somehow
Because we totally know if nothnig else they did effected anything at all
It is, but if you delete friends and lose a rank, that's a pretty good indicator that it's a factor
i think they should have done it that if you unfriend and refriend someone, it doesn't do anything at all
yeah and i heard some people gaining rank by removing friends so ๐คท
This system totally has one varuable that can effect anything at all ๐
Oclac, if they're losing it immediately as they're doing it, it's probably it
removing toxic friends maybe?
Interesting, did they delete low ranked ones?
So when that one thing changes for some users it and a result happens its 105% because of that and not other things
oh it's all social credit haha
no
Two people have come in wondering why they lost rank while purging their friends list or avatar list.
other known or trusted
Also they redid the system a few times
Immediately after doing so.
some users too
Not a few hours later, not a few days later, immediately.
User is low rank though
And plenty have done it without any results ๐
user is average
I know dudes who removed everyone for the shits and giggles to see if its true
the fuck you talking about
But lmao nah
i guess it's black magic and it was not enough to break the rank even then
Most of my friends are known or trusted, I ahve very few who're below
same
I've played with them for a while though
It's just 'natural' that trusted users gravitate towards one another. Even in public worlds I've kinda found myself mainly socializing with known/trusted even while their ranks are off.
got demoted in the middle of the week when i wasnt even playing like 1-2 months ago
It sound silly but you can almost tell just by talking to certain people.
@vocal shard Nah you got me
Like even joining a friends of guest, it'll be full of people with rank off that you definitely know are trusted and will even turn rank on if you ask
yeah i think the system is aimed at gravitating people into social caste
of some sort
It's definitely not
what rank are you oclac?
When you mentioned it Svel i mostly only have friends that's users and up
It naturally happened before we even knew what ranks were.
right but what if it still is
It's not.
i cant know of course
maybe there's some way of recommending rooms to you with people of similar participation score
Pretty sure im the basic user rank 
There's not
Or well the rank you need to upload shit
That's blue
youll stay blue
i don't like the known user color lul
I'd prefer red but that's reserved for admins :(((
jamie hanging out with the trash 
Basically, a lot of the more established (as far as time played together) groups of friends found they were mostly all veteran/trusted when the beta hit
It had nothing to do with the system moving people around or this or that
i guess people on the same level just flock together as always
Almost all my friends list was trusted/veteran along with a lot of other friend's lists, it's just how they set the weighting at the time
and my list is basically still all trusted save for a few here and there that don't play as often
most of my friends who i like talking with are trusted heh
Might explain why i gravitate to playing with trash :^)
Is messed up tho... Like I have 300 hours, and am trusted, while my friend who started the same time, (Oct 2017) with close to 1000k hours and tonnes of avatars is known...
which points towards there being a weighing mechanic
It's just a rank does not really matter if you're grey, purple or green tbh
^ true
nobody should care about ranks, this is true
dont want to annoy anyone
You should be able to rank up to blue pretty quickly which is the rank required to upload stuff and make it public
Yeah it doesn't matter, just an observation
@sterile drift do you wanna more stuff to laugh about?
^
No one should care about them as a social standing
Obviously they mean something.
i think they're to ward off people who create accounts to be toxic
they already can't upload
and nothing else
But in the end a lot of people do because it's a way to show off that you've invested time in the game
Visitor=Grey
New User=Blue
User=Green
Known User = Ugly af color
Trusted User = Purple
a long time ago at this point yeah, before ranks were a thing
i dont know how "being able to upload" and the rank system are related tbh
if there was a lock before the rank system
now people have to gain the trust of the system and of people before they can upload, and then before they can use more potentially annoying features
The system has always been here just not visible to us in ranks
you've had the trust system since 2017 i think? not sure when they implemented it
i dont know either
nah not 2017
The ranking system has been in place for a long time. It was just hidden in the API. They just made it public knowledge in this update
far from
the trust system was from like may-ish?
But it was a few months before here- just hiden and shit
well i had like a 4 month hiatus a few weeks ago
Not 2017.. yeah
Only new shit from the update is being able to block shaders and animations from peeps
i'm just not up to speed when it exactly appeared
As the rest of the settings dont matter
for me it's still new
It was May or June when they implemented it I think, just not visible.
may i believe
Blocking shaders, animations, blocking single avatars, particles, sound...
still think it's funny how the in game ranks are named one rank lower than the actual API rank that shows in the system
I have still to find someone use shit sound or particles when they dont have a toxic material/shader
I block all avatar sounds except friends
And if i want to no crash just disable all animations ๐
i like that you can at least block certain things an avatar can include
Yea because everyone runs around with that shit 
shoulder mesh?
Totally a realistic thing
I just don't want to hear their music or gun or avatar audio at all
it's less to do with cancerous sounds for me
i dont even have audio on my avatar
never really went into it, people suggested me to add something for some override i have but i didnt do it
i'm really afraid of annoying peolpe tbh
being a nuisance is really the opposite of what i want to do
it can be an interesting gimmick for a time
"hey i can make this little version of my avatar dance on my hand while this song plays" but that's really the extent most of the time
there's the purring and other various animal sounds, but most of the time it's just gimmicks, interesting ones sometimes, but usually nothing I feel left out by not hearing
since i am a full body dumbass i tend to try to dance along if someone starts a song that has a beat to it lol
i have some animations that relies on sound to "feel" better
if people are clamoring around something that could be interesting I'll turn them on, usually not though. I don't think most people are like me in that regard though, more people probably have them on.
Basically, I got user from my like 30 ish hours in the game (I got it before I hit 30, a little before that) and my time and my friends I've made
I also spend little to no time idling, try to be not annoying
Basically, just being normal
I got New User on an alt after a few hours and just stopped using, it's so weird how people spend 40+hours not getting upload priveleges
Wait I got a ping from the fool LOL
@sterile drift (1)

@rigid crescent I played for roughly 5 days straight on an alt account before getting upload privileges
This was before the trust system though
I also friended like 20 people in that time
I just friend people I find cool
My alt got new user in 4 hours
ANd i find a lot of peeps cool
But yea @fleet ice you pinged me an hour later about something I said, which proves you're trying to find people who are talking about you to provoke an argument. Sorry, not having it. 
To me, it seemed like there was a minimum account age. I got nothing after 5 days. Logged in on that account a week later, had a message with upload privileges
I've mentioned it before, but I've got 5 hours tops on the alt, 1 friend (my main), and never spoke
i got it on the 2nd or 3rd day.
To find a message of someone who didn't even participate in the initial conversation
Some people use selfbots to alert when their name is being said
Eh probably but
And some people just scroll up for something to argue about lmao
Yeah...
Yea but again he like
Gotta waste ya time on something
@sterile drift that's an interesting analysis, i did other stuff and didnt feel to take a look on this chat the whole time and now u give up
stop trying to start drama again for no reason
ruuubick said to move on from this
yikes

until one of your favorite avatars will be abused by idiots and everyone starts to block everyone with this avatar, i'm pretty sure then the time of your crying will come
if your favorite avatars is a knuckle, you should really start to have better priorities in life
instead of hating knuckles, give me arguments against it

"one of your favorite avatars" huh? You mean the ones I make
typically no one is using those lol
I'll bite though, i love the bait.
Most all of the people I see using it are annoying people who are trying to do the old Knuckles bit. It's annoying, so I block. E Z
but that is not my fail, so where is the reason to block me?
Because most people using it are doing the bit.
Saves me the trouble of having to hear it.
i dont care what most user do, you have to differentiate
I don't block knuckles on sight, but I do block them if they start doing the same routine
Knuckles are a very mixed bag. I've seen some really bad ones, and some really good ones. There's rarely an in-between.
If you hate being blocked why not just be something else?
your only arguments are the bad behaviors months ago.. thats everything....
"months ago"
so we can't hate any nazi anymore since it was years ago i guess ๐คท
they're still around. I blocked two yesterday doing the bit and couldn't block 2 others i saw later because i was testing something involving my headset while my headset was off
i block if i see them trying the routine, it's old
possible before they even talk to me if i heard them do it across the room
if i ask you again, what is the reason to block me... your answer is the bad behavior of other ones.. but this has nothing to do with me
it's not even bad behavior to be honest, just annoying
Suik- If i dress like an spefic group that is known for doing X or Y
Im dumb for thinking the average user wont put me under the same group and expect me to do X or Y
People do that because they personally decided they dont want it, just like you decide that you do want to use a Ugandan Knuckles avatar.
Knuckles have a generally negative reputation due to how they where used and how spread it was. And that is how it is and i belive wont change.
again, it is not my fault if some russian kiddys abues this still with do you know the way shit.. be smart and differentiate
Its how all humans work ๐
You asumed we knew jack shit about moderation just because we dont have a fancy color
You are prejudge people so...
Man way to generalize, russians aren't the only ones doing it.
And again- If you hate it this much, why not swap avatars...
you're using it knowing the consequences, and continue to do so despite people here voicing their opinions oni t.
Why do you care if people block you?
They're strangers.
i dont care, you guys generalize the whole time
if you don't want to get blocked that much, don't use that avatar
it's pretty simple.
with how you act here, i'm fairly certain that people would have other reasons to block you
best answer.. feeling forces to dont use an avatar because of mistakes i never made... you are soooooo damn smart...
OK so, why do you care if you get blocked
why have this argument
No one is forcing you to do anything.
use whatever avatar you like as long as it's within the TOS, which Knuckles is.
Why are you even upset if you don't care? why talk about it? what does the conversation solve if you don't care to begin with?
So you want to prove a point by using the avatar?
the fact is, besides bad behaviors of some random player, you dont have any good argument against knuckles... the player behind a knuckle could be your best friend but because of an habbit you just block him

Well, knuckles are a forced meme that resulted in plenty of bad light for the game and the community
The original creator of the avatar even wanted it to die down at its peek because of that
Its just prejudge- Its the same what you have against us or the russians 
but i dont block russians instantly, that is a difference
wait so let me get this strait. Suiheisen was blocked by mic for useing a knuckles avatar and did not have any bad behavior pertaining to it. he then later complained on here about being blocked on VR chat by a random stranger?
I mean I have my clay potato looking knuckle abomination and get blocked by random shubs all the time but I dont really kick up a fuss about it. I just shrug and move on
Consider what the overabundance of knuckles felt like to the existing VRChat community at the time.
From my personal experience, it felt like a hostile invasion.
From that you can further understand why people react to it the way they do.
". the player behind a knuckle could be your best friend but because of an habbit you just block him" that would literally never happen
ever
So, one more time for you Suiheisen. Why do you care?
yes, because of your prejudices
why would I block my friend? I know their voice and username
thats how a reputation works @fleet ice
This model has build up a negative reputation with a lot of players and currently still is often abused for meming and the like.
And thats just how it works.
Also- I love how you blame us for doing the actions
Meanwhile everyone here said they dont insta blcok anyone for just using an avatar
if someone is so repuled by a dumb jeelybean looking knuckle avatar that they will block there friend over even clicking on a knuckle, then theres an even bigger issue at hand
@bold parcel nah
@fleet ice In your own words, what do you think of knuckles avatars, and the meme?
random people blocked him
i didnt say you block your friend, i said you would never make a person that is using a knuckle to your friend, because prejudices
cuz he was using a knuckle avatar
@bold parcel I guess you never played before the knuckle or even during the boom?
and he is not happy that people do whatever they want
Oh I did, but I didnt think much of it honestly
Before I started blocking them and even had a "prejudice", I did not befriend a single Knuckles user whatsoever.
I found them annoying for the msot part, but didn't like blocking people back just just because, now I genuinely don't care.
it was the driveing reason for me to make my own. mostly to look like a nightmarish imitation of them and then mock them to there faces with a monument to there "dead memeness"
Then you got lucky or are fairly denying of other users...
Because being unable to talk for a few minutes every hour you play in public rooms because a raid of knuckle happens is boring AF and gets hate made quickly
And then being spit on
fun times fun times
instead the squeeker knuckles hated me and the older ones loved it
also the only people dumber than knuckle users are the "DEAD MEME DEAD MEME DEAD MEME HAHAHAHA" people too.
^
So you bullied the knuckles Well- blocking them is just as bad then...
Or atleast tauned them ๐คท How ya wanna call it
@rough pulsar my opinion about knuckles is the same like in my world i created "fluffles paradise" it is still an avatar you can be very creative with, and the most of our knuckle community dont care it is a dead meme or not, and we are not a part of annoying assholes
So you all just happen to use the knuckles avatar and don't do the routine whatosver
why is that so hard to believe ๐ค
I have not seen a raid of any sort in a long time oddly
@rigid crescent prejudices
And i dont mind people using the avatar for knuckles
Prejudice? quite literally all but two knuckles I've ever met have done the routine
@compact river Because the users often get hate for doing raids like that 
Call it what you'd like, but if 100 people with a Red and Green Striped Had spit on me, I'm not gonna trust the 101st to not do it as well.
oh by the way
Iven seen lots of knuckles that are chill singing in the pug
prejยทuยทdice
/หprejษdษs/
noun
noun: prejudice; plural noun: prejudices
1.
preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
Not many toxic ones
It's based on reason and actual experience
how often i have to repeat myself until you understand that it is not my damn mistake when randoms player abuse this? i saw enough player with a modified version of the admin avatars and they crash or annoy you very often... and know i have to block every of these or what?
I would say taunt or messed with. still do. and in my case. I dont do the click, or the spits. I have had a giggle from time to time by buding into a conversation when I hear the W word. and go with a retarded voice rather than the mock african accent while also holding perfectly normal conversations
and my other monster that looks like if donkeykong was wearing a set of ugandan knuckle skin spandex gets a voice akin to a dieing hippo and spouts the meme as I try to sound as pained and in agony as possible
you don't, it's your CHOICE to block them
^
.......
Just like it's my CHOICE to block Knuckles.
You're free to not block them or to block them, it's a choice that you're given in VRChat.
you missunderstood the topic, the topic was not to have a choice, the topic was to get blocked instantly and losing a trust rank because of this
you won't lose trust rank
I DID
How do you know that's why?
what are the ways that you lose trust rank then?
they've said "you might see a fluctuation in ranks while we mess with the numbers"
it's in the patch blog thing
Getting block a lot does move you twards nuisance im sure that was the whole point of that rank
after random block, the next day i was back to known user, and i'm trusted user... and now trusted user again
Then it was just an unhappy coincidence
It was most likely a coincidence.
you are trusted user
@compact river They stated in this chat before that just being blocked does not harm you- The system is made so it cant be abused
why do you complain 
People have witnessed ranks changing, if that one block is what did it, you would've immediately changed rank.
Then how do people get nuisance manually assigned
so, now that your one reasoning is blown out of the water, what now?
because you say it's coincindence without knowing it 100% you think it is blown? lel
but it is blown and we know it
and you say it's related without knownig 100%
are you saying that Ruuubick is wrong?
then neither nor, but still nothing is blown
Sui, chill. this was all a misunderstanding, just check through the update logs
Knuckles meme will always be special to me - wouldnโt have found VRChat without it
Its the reason i stopped playing really lul
but in general it doesnt matter, it is still a damn behavior of people to block someone instantly
OH it does matter, trust me. you're wrong and don't want to admit it
Wat?
Yeah, why do you care this much if an absolute stranger blocks you?
show me the Quote please where ruuubick was saying that
Good afternoon
lmao he blocked me
"RuuubickToday at 8:29 AM
The system prevents that kind of abuse, so it was something else"
https://i.imgur.com/IhlJT4Q.png ๐ @fleet ice
now what?
He is going to deny the photo
nah he's gonna say it's not a real answer
yep, he's that kind of individual
The announcement flat out said that we should expect to see changes in the ranks basically randomly.
I'm here and I made actual popcorn this is great
Y'all have ptsd
hm why ruuubick was not able to say something like this in my emails? why i have to start is again here until he said different words? weird
Not really.
In english please
You got an answer, correct? Yes or no question.
Because they do t want people to know the systems so they will say all sorts of things
and that answer tells you that the blocks have nothing to do with your rank change, correct? another yes or no question.
Than are generic af
yes, but this don't explain to me why i was 4 days back to known user after blocks
Because the ranking fluctuate
anyone have probleme with Standing animation looping with the new sdk ๐ค
The announcement says that much
@fleet ice Why didnt you accept his answer when he gave it
Same question
@vocal shard nope
I have not used a newer sdk in a long time its 2 much work replacing them
You don't need an explanation of why you gained your rank, it doesn't change the fact that the block had nothing to do with it.
deleting a folder and reimporting an asset is too much work ?
^^
I legitimately know someone with a minimum of 180-ish blocks that had Veteran status. Blocks do not matter, for the most part.
or at all possibly
i know a dude with 2500 blocks
personnaly i jusut downlaod the new sdk and my animation dont work anymore on vrchat
still trusted
exactly
Mine is working and im not testing fate
@vocal shard Legacy animations?
yeah
IF so- That aint because of the SDK
by the way, befor you start laughing because of the word racists, just look for the definition and compare it with the behaviors of instant blockers
But you not reading announcements ๐ As its explained somewhere in there
"a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another."
legacy animation stopped working since september i believe
i never seen that annoncement
You're not another race.
Its gone gone ye
"prejudice against people" is everything what you need to know
LOL NO
it's a good thing that they removed it
the exploit was pretty bad.
i use it to just make move myu tail and some object on my character
If someone is racist towards me for the color of my skin, it has massive societal impacts. My whole life can be changed due to people being racist towards my specific ethnic group. I can never EVER change the color of my skin, I can never be another race. There's nothing I can do, and I'm basically stuck with way and have to deal with people that are racist towards me as long as I live.
you are supposed to use animators for that
You guys gonna get Ruubick'd again
that doesnt require legacy
sorry, to bud in... But didn't Ruubick say to move away from the knuckles topic?
on VRChat, if someone blocks me because of my avatar, I am free to change it. there's no societal or real world impact
wow rude jamie
Equating knuckles "prejudice" to real racism is actually really rude
personnaly i can just see my animation with (lagacy)
nvm. this is a fight of different opinions what can never solved
No, you're literally just wrong.
if he have a other way show me it lol XD
but whatever
If you wanna be an ass hat changing avatars will not stop people from blocking you tho

@vocal shard check the #animation channel and look at the pins to switch your legacy animation to normal animation
Absolutely, but at that point it's not based on your looks, it's based solely on personality.
Teenosaurus rex
@vocal shard if you want to make your tail move for example, you will need to put an animaTOR component on the root of the tail and animate it like you would do with a legacy animation
there is nothing wrong, you stopp being social because of prejudices.. this is can be the beginning of racism, and the mainstream is your leading and tell you every day "knuckles are the enemy, just block them" and you follow instead of thinking first

...
I didn't care to read what was going on
So I'm just gonna assume the same nonsense as before
Drop it already, such a pointless discussion at this point.
Different subject, look at the Admins of the discord. They're a traffic light.
@sterile drift yes and even worse
their statuses
Again, equating not liking knuckles to racism is actually really rude, it's like equating trust rank to castes.
since all "arguments" are basically non-existent from him
Just people being toxic just turn around ๐
lol
@sterile drift give one argument besides calling something nonesense
Oh nicely spotted Lone :P that's pretty cool
I 100% think before I block a knuckles, I'm in full control.
Everything's nonsense for me lmao
@fleet ice so, if you know that people hate knuckles and are gonna block you straight away, why are you trying to force it? You obviously can't handle being blocked, so why not use something that the majority of the VRChat community do not hate?
I don't block them because other people do it, I block them because of my experiences wtih them.
Also Sui, you don't have to at me for everything.
It's not the same as disliking an entire, real life human race
@sterile drift give an example and give me the argument, come one
it has no real impact
vrchat = real life, mic
What if I don't wanna?
get it together cmon
because you can't
you'd think so based on the hours
or maybe he doesnt care ?
oooh classic 10 year old response
Nah I just don't think you're worth my time ๐
easy to say little boy
lOL
Can we all just ignore eachother as this went from funny to sad to pathetic
Someone purge this
You have a really poor personality, maybe that's part of why people block you.
If i want to block Knuckles, I will. If i want to block those horrid full body emission mapped tattoo cat girls, I will.
Agreed
oh the cops are here :# im done then
Svel lmao
Yall need to move on just being toxic does nothing
fucking hell
Gotta convince Sui to move on though lol
nah just ban him
Or that^

Dude chill
@vocal shard Oi get online
I just got home, lemme rest.
haha still can't give one example.. he just follows what other say
move on
see? he's still going
I got work early tomorrow so i cant play to long
lmao
Can we get someone to warn this person so he stops please?
He HAS been warned, that's the funny part 
Oki
๐
This is in no way one sided thats the sad part
Luckily his IGN is the same as his Discord one, easy block :3
just throwing that one out there
๐

Someone say purge?
monkaS
Ya
Also Sui, I don't really know what you're on about with an "example" and I don't really care either.
Crap I'm out of popcorn
If it's about the conversation that was going on, I really don't wanna waste my time scrolling up to read 238 messages
mimimi he is unpleasant and dont follow wrong mainstream opinions, block block block...

Its the ptsd man
oof
Aww shit chat is lagging behind on phone
Vietnam flashbacks

FPaul save us
FPaul finish typing
i wasn't even in 'nam
Plez
interesting how many people feel adressed
lol
"Addressed"
Intresting you manage to get this many peeps pissed without doing anything really
he is being dumb
Without doing anything... Hmm
dumb people are easily annoying
this might get a fat yeet, but i like when non-native english speakers try to argue with fluent ones
Almost makes ya think he did do something
Toxic af
like obviously it's not their fault they can't speak english well
but it's just funny
guys... Remember that WE were warned not to drag a situation out and meme it.... Time to stop
Nah guys, that cant be it. We are the baddies
I think
As Advert allready said, please move on from this topic.
This is for both parties.

I'm out of popcorn therefore the argument is over

dm's
Alright
everyone begone
Dragon LOL
ok so why does everything i read say i have to unwrap to texture paint, but i'm able to do it just fine
without unwrapping
Begone t...


@rigid crescent Think it depends on the model

Windows shutdown
So how is everyone doing on this fine Monday?
Worst day of the week

True xD
Moanday
i'm just learning how to do it now since i've heard applying tattoos using it can be easier, so i guess pre-mapped mmds are fine
alright, if someone is interesting in a smart discussion without being offending and with arguments, write me a pm ;*
Oi advert- Its NNN
nnn?
Slide into those dms
Not doing a speficic action november yea
Rip
Oclac's never nice to me anyways
oof
Wa!
instant delete 
Oclac getting the ๐
Ok that might also be a lie
Oof
But im mostly nice 
@umbral reef jump
oh my god, texturing painting is amazing...
just loading
@rigid crescent it is
i started to texture paint like a month ago
so easy
if only everything wasn't mirrored
i mostly use texture paint when i combine multiple model so the skin color can match
Lads
Heyo
Hey kindbot ^^
Coming back to 397 new messages 
On the topic of mirrored, is it bad if i just use negative tiling?
Dont read them 
I donโt
why would you use negative tiling ?
Why would you think that I care about stuff like that?

Exactly
Whatt map is good to explore?
Lag free box 
LuL
Ez block
Wait I can answer this one give me a minute to find the name
Iโm counting
White skyscrapers and voxel tower are HUGE maps
Good
kinda barren, but it would be fun for hide and seek like I was suggesting
But for real please someone play hide and seek with me
@ivory folio but it's "The Box" not 
:(
just write "eerf gal" and you are good to go
I was only there for a little while, definitely need to go back and explored it more thoroughly. The amount of detail is astounding.
was up
'Sketchu Spring' has a nice little exploration element to it, with an unlockable secret avatar as recognition of said exploration.
Yep
Also can anyone else imagine VRPill in a "You know I had to do it to 'em" pose?
Like
I just want a picture of that
im having some issues with vrchat atm, login takes around 10 mintues and none of my hotkeys works when im loaded even my mic toggle is not working
if anybody feels down and wants a laugh, here is my first attampt at rigging my cow av gen 1 way back XD warning, it is well and truly fucked https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/502553936998301727/509106839502192670/ogkaqupi86i11.png
Stormy cave too, but you have to use your head a bit
I've been thinking of getting a headset should I get the htc vive or oculus rift?
It's mainly to preference. Each has something nice than the other.
If you're wanting the most immersive controllers, go with the rift.
The vive is good for the upgrade path, and the ability to add trackers for full body, or switch to other headsets like pimax down the line
most expensive game ever
as long as they don't fix the glaring issues of every 3rd person running around with a crash, the only thing you will do is sit infront of mirrors
valve is bringing the knuckles controllers at some point in the future (tm)
or have fun at a danceparty before someone jumps in and crashes the whole lobby
didnt crash for days
Aren't they going to be expensive though?
for days, is that an achievemnt?
dunno
Knuckle controllers are still relatively new
it should be "I never get crashed because they fixed it"
Ok, we get it, you get crashed. I haven't been crashed in months, so not everyone has the same experience
not "I didnt get crashed for a few days, seems good"
no it definitely shouldnt be like that
but it isn't as bad as you re portraying it
which is not to say that we can let it slide either
They are too afraid to ban all of the people having crashes which is like 30% of VRC population
๐
@queen mango i still kinda believe that valve will not make them as expensive as htc did their controllers
some kind of faith left
i think
maybe it's foolish
Hmm... Aren't they concerned with improving the game?
It's not that crashers are of any value to them...
There's more going on behind the scenes... They aren't "being lazy, and just not dealing with the situation"...
i't also a free game
@gleaming patio you pull out a gun to show it to your friend
yu accidentally shoot your friend
you still need to be held accountable for your action
Thats why there is private instances
if you wanna fiddle around with animations and particles
and can test it
and lets be honest, most crashes are deliberatly caused
it would be good if the game had a way to detect whose avatar caused it
so the player can be knocked for it
would be good if you didn't even have the ability to do it in the first place
evne better, yeah
give people a way to abuse something and it will be abused
still, i won't like to lose the kind of freedom this thing offers in exchange for it
Deliberately crashing someone is obviously against the rules and is bannable
what kind of freedom lol
in avatar creation
what kind of freedom?
the type of freedom to make crash particle systems
or mesh crashers
because there's, to my knowledge, zero application of those things outside crashing.
the only freeodom that would be lost is the "freedom" to crash people
but can you filter them out among the valid meshes and valid particle systems?
the difference is worlds apart
often times the difference between exploit and legal input is only a few bytes
why
in the nicest way possible, it sounds like you don't know what you're talking about
It is obscenely obvious when a particle system/shader has been written for the explicit case of causing perf issues/crashing users
It's like saying we'd be losing a freedom to have 50000000 dynamic bones on an avatar if they proposed a limit.
well i've only practiced IT for 10 years professionaly, so maybe you can tell me
@covert chasm THANK YOU
oof, that's unfortunate
10 years and you aren't able to tell there's a difference
If you had the freedom to send whatever packet you'd like, sure, a few bytes swapped around might cause weird stuff, but you don't, so...
The results should be predictable
There's a very clear line between "some particles that do the thing" to "9999999 particles compressed into a tiny ball"
if it's really only about excessive numbers of things, then it should be easy?
Not really...
easy to abuse yes
Just like the poly limit and the size limit ecks dee
10 years of IT should have taught you that any kind of engineering problem addressable as "easy" is, in fact, never easy ๐
The problem is there is ways to just offset the limites
Still waiting on the removal of the Cloth Physics script :3
the limits should be hard coded no matter what
i mean imagine there's such a thing as 10 bones parented in a circle and vrchat crashes from it
and if you need more numbers let the devs give you those
and dont fiddle with it yourself
because the IK goes into an endless loop. there's no excessive number of anything
exactly, but you would need to have another detection rule for that
i think with as complex things as unity scene graphs there are unlimited possibilities of creating invalid data without having excessively much of it
while you could probably fend off easy resource exhaustion things like "millions of bones" i'm sure going all the way is fighting windmills
talking about possible exploits in public discords is also not the best idea in the world
please
oh please
These are very well know
its not like everything has already been done
everyone who knows how to make an avatar crahser knows anything discussed in here
it's stupid
its not though
I 100% agree
*not stupid to talk about it
for 1 avatar crashers arent even really a problem at this point
if noone ever talks about it, it never gets adressed
the safety system mostly dixed it
It's against the rules and it'd be good to stop discussing it in detail.
^
we're not discussing it in detail
But when will those things be fixed tho
๐ค
๐คท
i was just lamenting on it on a very meta level to be honest
if you know the unity version, just look for the unity optimizations and do the opposite in the script
I have been avatar crashed twice in my vrchat lifetime
Just the basic fundamental problem of it existing is my problem
As always, exploits can be reported to moderation@vrchat.com or hello@vrchat.com
no one reports is probably one of the big issues
it's kind of a pain in the ass after all
because there is no report feedback
They were just discussing invalid data in general, I guess. Staff already knows about these things
even Dota / league and other toxic games have report feedback
it at least tells you "something has been done against ONE person you reported"
without a name
how is your policy on finding out possible exploits on the official server (in a controlled environment, friends for example) to report them?
even with it, it's a pain in the ass to do. if you got a reply saying "we got em boys" , it's still a pain to report at all
that's why no one does it. they don't know how or they can't be troubled, they want to get back into the game
@gleaming patio Anonymously at moderation@vrchat.com
if i'm getting cursed out or see a hacker in Overwatch, click a whole three or four buttons
its also problematic that reporting always comes with "DO YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT PROOF" well how, should I run shadowplay 24/7 while playing?
they can't ban without proof
I feel like I have to monitor every second of VRc play
i'm not into security research to be honest, but if i ever stumble upon anything dangerous i would report it in detail
@lusty folio they can just look into it
not really
in VRC, I have to hop out of VR, get on my desktop, grab my output log, find he website, type up the report, then send it
so if a whole instance crashes, nobody can say how it happened, it just happened?
Can't even try to look into it.
like i said, I got back to shadowplay and use that all the time
Output log emailed to the mod team
because its the only way
Here is something malicious people could do, add a cloth component with default values.
It's not an exploit, but it's still an issue. Doesn't warrant a report though, since it's common knowledge
we both know that there are ways to fiddle with the output log
and that it is not reliable
is there a good way to trigger shadowplay records from vr?
@tacit plank It absolutely warrants a report. If everyone assumes that it is "common knowledge", then it never gets reported.
there is a report button in any world (choose any user andnchoose report to let a mod come into the world your reported from to check what is going on))
I'm like 99% sure that button doesn't work TAnshi
like they've said it doesn't do anything lol
ive seen people use it and suddenly a mod jumped in the level
@gleaming patio I never tried shadowplay with VR
aight
well that would be a nice change of pace
i've actually seen in happening in person to be honest
Too many of any component is an issue, too big textures are an issue, avatars with huge filesizes are an issue, avatars with too many dyanamic bones are an issue, etc, etc, etc.
If the staff has uploaded any avatars themselves, they will know most issues
Sure, but how much is too many components? How big is "too big"? How huge is "too huge"? What issues? What happens? How many dynamic bones?
You've done the research, you know the numbers. No harm in reporting.
It helps us out ๐
Less obvious ones were reported though, like people putting scrips on avatars a while back, and using cameras, and using animations to bypass SDK limitations
even if its redundant, which it often is-- it helps
Some semi-official numbers would be nice. We already know that 40 is the "suggested" max on dynamics just from the public worlds declined due to it
erm... avatar crashes ARE in fact still a very real issue, some have found way to crash others even with the new system,, and I have seen shader effects eye rape my screen several times in the pug from people I have even blocked for being disruptive
but for real, one question, why don't you hard force the limitations the SDK has atm ?
And that's a good point too. To begin with, you could add limits to these things, but keep the limits relatively high. For example, if an avatar is above 100MB there's obviously something wrong
Or at least in my experience
No to the shader thing, but yes, even with the trust system crashing is possible
100%
yeah shader effects that go throughough the whole level are still used pretty frequently
you have been lucky then
that was most likely an issue with your settings or with the trust system applying those settings
i hate the ones that make you go sick (in vr at least)
@rigid crescent its possible for people to just turn off your Trust settings
Im also wondering why the limits in the sdk are not inforced server side?
I don't know the cloth values, but I've heard that the default update rate is set super high
@compact river exactly what I mean
there are bypasses to the safety system?
Lock audio assets etc to the rank level i would say (server sided check)
pretty much
They fixed it
but a while ago
I can't explain it much
since you wouldn't understand much
lol
try me
@gleaming patio I wont go into detail, but yes, its possible to offseit it completely
thats all i have to say to this issue
you can already turn off audio assets by rank
^
i have them all off by default on everyone but friends most of the time, never heard a single peep unless i chose to
That's a thing which should be reported, I think
i mean even from being able to upload them through the sdk...
But I don't feel that reporting helps much, Tupper. I reported an avatar stealer back in January. He also teleported people and copied usernames. It took over half a year before it was fixed still
lo
lol*
the main problem right now is people getting logged out
Which is being fixed right now
That issue is also months old
mhm
but people find more and more ways though
that's why it's sort of hard to patch
It's just invalid RPC calls isn't it?
um pretty much
Modified clients in itself are a problem
^
why are they local
anyone having issues on login and getting timed out atm?
Clients trust other clients too much right now I guess
