The devs seem to have created an environment where they can never get useful feedback, because they only surround themselves with yes-men
yeah, he was like that when he joined to see the number spoofing i showed you. quick in, record, and out
I really doubt anything new came of the open beta though. the few issues that were feedback related were ignored to begin with and didn't need an open beta to begin with

And I doubt that there are a set number in the hundred users who participated in the beta
I mean also, what happens if they do make something friends only and one of your friends still decides to use the avatar to be a dick?
Yeah ur reliant on everyone who has access to it not to spread em
Well let's say he sets his avatar to "Friends Only" and no one that isn't on his friends list can use it, even if the Friend has SHaring on
they can still use it to be an ass
They just need an option such as βonly from pedestalβ for public avatars so non public world owners can control who gets them
Wow Jawbones got yeeted for something he didn't do.
When I saw the name I knew it was gonna be you lol
That's what I mean Rokk. All the issues that popped up are issues they didn't even need an open beta for.
Seriously though this is why they should have a Pedestal Only avatar mode
EeeeeEeeee is typing
lmao
except the network ones
ye
Shit man- The joke present i got was less of a dumpster fire then this update :')
Change the rules without saying anything about it and then just start clapping peeps -- Neat
heyo
Awesome to know that if you where gone while the change happened you can get banned before being able to even react to it π
oh what rule changed
The fact that "public world avatar" now became "any avatar not set to private"
Any avatar that you have on your account that is set to public (aka can be shared) can get you temp banned
If not worse
I made a "disruptive" avatar before the public/private system was implemented (this was back in March).
I haven't looked at it since
I'm gonna get myself banned because of my Miku avatar. Bet.
If I were to switch into it now, I could be banned. Cool beans π π π π π

I S T H A T C R U N C H I M U S I C E X T E N S I O N S?
I doubt it would be considered disruptive lol
I can make it disruptive
or just yknow hit the button in unity
hitting the button 

I just made all of mine private except my public world ones
RIP "those neat experiments I shared with friends", too risky to keep around.
Thanks devs.
I always have set mine to private, have something changed?
you can share avatars to other people if you set it as public
Any avatar set to public can be copied, even if not on a pedestal and not in a public world. People got banned for it @sweet agate
thats what the cloning thing work
People as in the bone of jaws
Why is the creator of the avatar banned if the avatar was abused by someone else. The one actually abusing it should be banned
would be cool to have an option to change if an avatar is cloneable ingame 
Oh, I thought it was only from public avatar Worlds LUL
@cold talon ye there is, its literally at the bottom middle of the settings menu\
There's no room for nuance in this game's moderation (or the game to begin with)
@ocean bramble If its an crasher other bad stuff- I kinda get it
IF they made a proper warning about it and changed there rules...
If its just an annoying avatar right now? Unless its a raid and shit just block and keep going
@sterile drift I just thought of something
But hey- Im not a staff member for a big reason so
I mean there's no room for moderation in this game's moderation LOL
Hm?
This is the fifth time I've witnessed an emoji getting someone banned.
Yes.
Oof
And of course, GV and G1 for the shaking emoji
Yes
most of them just kicked tho
Literally just got shaken out of existance
i mean it's just a public world ban at least
just hang out with friends somewhere else for a few days
It's the incredibly condescending "you've been naughty" world ban lol
you dont mess with the spanner
@median basalt I got a warning for mentioning staff and then only replying to accusations made to me π
Meanwhile the person making the clame got just as bad of a warning
At least Jawbones has plenty of friends to dick around with
What does Jawbones' ban reason say actually?
Gotta love the 'new' 'active' chat mods
Imagine a game where moderation only punished you if you're not famous lol
jawbones avatar being "annoying" @sterile drift
@umbral reef Actually Mimi's been pretty active as of late.
pretty sure subcom and that black n white avatar world got taken down for bad performance avatars but we got shonzo out here with 2k collisions
Subcom was resubmitted
Shonzo's is just being held in stasis by him but I hope it gets taken down
yeah they've fixed stuff afaik
@sterile drift A week being online aint active lmao
"Fixed" not really
shonzo avatars are barely even make lag tho imo
i mean they put it within upload limits or it wouldnt have passed
Plenty of peeps behaved like that- You barely know who is who by that time
Subcom has three avatars now. The laggier ones are put on display in the corner, with a link on where to get downloads for them.
I mean in time we'll see if she's going to be active a lot or not
They yeeted the laggy avatars out of the world and are now trying to get people to download the unoptimized ones for private use lol
@median basalt they have like 11 atm
But yea you're right
Tbh- Give it a month and then we can see
9 of them are just recolours of the loli cats
shonzo's avatars are no better/worse than all these other worlds. as you should know since we keep saying it non stop, a few bad avatars here and there won't matter. what matters is when everyone is crap
Also I have a new hate for the song Common World Domination, Rokk.
Vacations are over then and people go back to school properly then
So being active is something you commit to then instead of being bored and doing it
Why?
Lol
Lemme show you the video of the hard mode of the song
It's been two weeks btw and still no reply on "hey am i allowed to put advertisements in my world i see lots of worlds with them" lol
#supportplshelp
@rigid crescent I got a answer from tupper
"Its not my department"
π
And Owl Boy said he had no idea
So awesome support from chat mods and admins π
yeah i sent an actual email which is what tupper said to do
Owl Boy had no idea? 
Yes- Owlboy is apperently a chat mod ??
He is
"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"
And ofcours he didnt say shit
He is a special treathment to the staff because his world is set to admin aproved
He had been allowed to play with way more shit then most users because he is buddies with admins and been here for long
We all know its because of that admin aproved tag
Those fella's dont have to wait ages to upload and get more leeway with rules

i don't want a smelly nose so i'll never be big 'inner circle' boi, sadface
Even if i wanted by now id never get there :^)
owlboy has script access and doesn't even use it 
lol
imagine having this much nepotism lol
Rutte politiek
Favoring friends and family, like a company where the incompetent son gets promoted to manager quickly while the smart bois get a tiny raise

Or in this case, allowing worlds to break the rules because you like the author
I wish I was in a position to be extremely unfair to my userbase and get away with it because of my station. must be nice
@rigid crescent become a streamer and ezpz
uhh ohh
Wait
Owl boy got promoted to Chatmod without asking for it?
don't you have to be contacted by them and asked if you want to be it? o.o
Dunno.. I haven't seen him get promoted in my 5 months here
it's even funnier because even the people that are in a position of advantage but agree with us can't do anything about it because they'll just risk their own wellbeing so they have to go along with it and read shitstorms like this every week knowing you can never express your opinion openly :3
Of course but then when he himself says he get's this promotions without getting asked for it shows how privileged he is in this community compared to other content creators
@rigid crescent ooh, I know a guy like that
Gonna cause for loads of really fair and active moderating from him
@twin jacinth implying he never bragged about stuff that was not true
I'm actually getting pretty far in the song but my fingers are in pain. Send help please.
yeah same
@sterile drift Have some wine
that was honestly just a fun jab aimed at anyone like that who would happen to be reading LOL
@rigid crescent Pretty funny indeed
my favorite part about the whole pug ad thing is that we got his attention and he's aware it's against TOS, but it's still in there ;3 so he's knowingly breaking the rule that gets worlds declined and getting away with it. what a world~
I wonder, if big streamers would make worlds, would they get special treatment too?
One of the dudes that got special treathment for his world removed it after he learned about it
Probably so, Bahka
so even giving him the benefit of the doubt of him not knownig (due to him being immune to all rules to begin with), he's now knowingly doing so
@cold talon they already stream so they already get it

lets not forget about woops but i dont think he makes stuff
Imagine if a famous video game critic played this game instead of a streamer
RIP John Bain
most likely they would only scratch the surface
and that only shows the good part of vrc, but we all know the deeper you go the darker it gets
also who removed it Oclac? marriage world dude?
Wait what
Jesus.. the more you know, the more you pose a risk.
Unsure as its been a while
a few weeks ago he actually asked him so i remember him mentioning taking it down, but it's still here. i guess it's not a world that needs to be upped very often though so its understandable
the devs want us to be happy with the top level stuff and not poke our noses into the game 
i mean it's not like anyone can do anything to change things so there's really no threat to ignoring us
that's just politics tho, nothing new there. best you can do is hope for integrity and if you don't get it owell
and thats exactly what they are doing 
Well- I been noting the peeps who arent getting help anymore because i and some others are not helping anymore in here
and boy its fairly high
did all the helpin peps stop?
Maybe.. 
Well, Our V boy is rip
Sai is drinkin and fam time, im just here chatting
Most others are imo also less inactive because of christmas so
i mean that won't change anything tbh, someone else will just help lol
svel too 
hardly a burden, most help is "check announcements", "yeah here's a youtube video", or something else someone else will just answer anyway
Not really
Plenty of problems dont get solved at all
Didn't omega get banned?
He left
omega who datt?
Just jump into #user-support-old and look at the past 50 msgs and count the users who never got a reply or help
@tacit plank He left
Omega.. the guy who's pretty much the brains in this community
Creator of the rollercoaster worlds
well the basic problems do get solved like that 
OH HIM
Why did he leave?
Dunno... 
Creator of the rollercoaster worlds?
you mean GOD?
Lmao

oh good point i just realized a lot of them are me answering LOL
I don't see his name in VRChat anymore either
omega left? wow
@rigid crescent Its legit 99% you in that chat, maybe me throwing a link left or right when im bored and else its people providing half assed help and just telling to email instead of fixing it fast or nothing happening
Not just this Discord.. also the game
lemme just uhhhhh https://puu.sh/Cnm93/6b3d00e1ad.png LOL
Seems like what a lot of people did
uh oh, did he left right after that conversation?

i mean lots of shit happen, but leaving the game and discord just like that after pouring so much into it
Damn.. I dunno 
Hold on point me over to his last conversation
π
ghost mentions 

Elire can't leave as long as i'm here
i can make elire leave
Qutting on this game.. Feels like a hard decision
hows it a hard decision?
guess you could just do "from: Omega#2955"
It's the only game where you can be a loli in first person and pet people I think
5 months later.. almost none of them were playing the game anymore
Only Cascadian, Red, and Bahamut
And I dunno if Red's aware of this
can you not anymore?
wdym world shaders?
Probably nit cause thdn 1/2 the community would be banned
leaving this game is super easy to me xD
like screenspace? of shaders in worlds? 
its how im able to leave for months on end
Like you can pretty easily write world shaders to erase the entire ui. I feel like you can still get banned for that
Hmm.. you've been used to it.
That reminds me, I need to reverse engineer a shader so that I can make another shader which makes it invisible
Basically any shader impacting a large area or impairing vision excessively
Leaving this won't happen for me
got way to many good friends here
i think you can still get banned for that if you get reported
@ember raptor Was a thing in the past but right now the UI loads over everything else so far i know
jufo?
Yes?
you have friends?
Wow ;_;
the UI has zTest now so no more overwriting it
-pats-
There are pit shaders that can hide shader. But it only hides shaders that are set up to be hiden with stencils
I dunno I bet I can still erase it 
Hides in corner and cries
Is it normal that Avatars don't change instantly anymore?
Aw effing hell
Peeps above changed avatar stuff..
oh no its a little ponyer
Been a thing for a while now
Why though?
what i really want is one of those volume shaders that replace material on objects inside but still use the object uv so its not a screen space
And I tried to debug wtf was going on with my world for the last hour or so...
really fancy stuff
There are ways I can't speak about to blacklist selected shaders from being seen
lol
oh hi xins
yes
when you senind me those pics
what pics
the naughty ones you promised
excuse me wtf
LOL
π
you promised feet pic of mic
U can do it. Santa will forget before next Christmas
i can get you a feet pic of my avatar hold up
i shouldnβt have come back tbh

xins you know you love me
thereβs more stuff to you thats little
hmm?
So there's no way to enable instant avatar changing anymore... That will make avatar debugging stupidly complicated.
too lazy to find the .blend so nvm
instant avatar changing? was that ever a thing??
Of course it was
i just hit the button and change into my avatar
Yep, but that's not the case anymore
??
It used to be done in like a second, now it takes a while
takes me literally one second
I have to exit VRChat and open it again for my avatar to change
2 mississippi
I think it used to be clientsided, and got changed to a serversided switch
oh, that's probably something on your end. i just changed into an avatar in 2 seconds.
might wanna get a new pc chief
In general, it easily takes towards a minute to switch now
Yep, 2 seconds. Counted it out.
effing hell
It took me like 2 seconds in my own world now that I think about it
I'm also testing a local world right now, haven't tried it on an online world yet.
Maybe it doesn't show before every player in the world is synced properly, to avoid people seeing the wrong avatars?
No.. The staff team turned it on
oof
Serversided switching is a good idea, but having to wait 30 seconds to load an avatar from cache is strange
https://puu.sh/Cnmti/4bd40960d4.mp4 this one took like 5 seconds, but yeah it might be the local thing
Thing is that Discord enables it automatically for big servers
Yea but all other chats dont have it so
Maybe they just need faster servers. I can't think of a process which would take a computer more than 2 seconds to do
And all that wait time is client-server communication across the planet a few times
how do I toggle props on avatar w/ vive controller buttons?
Well, something happened on November 2 that caused them to activate slowmode permanently
But VRChat servers are still pretty heavily loaded
lemme try changing my avatar in an online world, not a locally testing one
Well, it's a 5 second timer. If you chat faster, you're likely just pressing enter constantly by habit. (maybe from playing online games that require fast information?) It's annoying to look at anyways.
Actually Slowmode saved one of the big servers I administrate from a raid once
So that's good
Oh yeah, when I'm not testing my world locally it'll instantly switch my Avatar too... Bug found!
Try changing to one that you haven't used for a bit
Maybe the issue is that avatars are not being cached when they should
Nope, also works within 5 seconds
probably a "yeah local test worlds aren't as important as the live game network" thing
which is totally true, might as well test the avatar on the live build
Sucks for testing
true
@umbral reef Can def still erase the ui https://imgur.com/a/FVNc5UC
lmao
Is it possible to create transparent objects with a render queue below 2000?
You can make things 9999999 in the code if u want maybe the same can be used to lower transparent? Why would u need to lower it tho?
I got it to 2001 without disappearing.
And I got it now, I had to disable Zwrite
You know how some shaders make shader clothes invisible? I want it to work with all of them. I just need to draw my thingy before everybody else does
I can ober render stuff with shaders. But can you over render with a transparency?
Damn, zwrite is needed to overwrite stuff
I have a super stencil shader i can send you to test values
Most people don't use stencils, thanks though
If you have something transparent with ZWrite on, it will draw below other things if your render queue is lower
Yeah i know but it has zwrite options and stuff as well
Draw below? Arent you trying to draw over?
Sure then, it could be helpful for testing and such! I don't know entirely what I'm doing, but I've managed to make some avatar clothes invisible lol
Hard to explain, I need mine to draw instead, overwriting the other one
Interesting
Never looked through a water shader in VRChat to find that some avatars rendered strangely through it?
Yeah i guess that is a thing
Not sure if you can make something compatible with most shaders tho
Not without some more complex codes probably
Tags {"Queue" = "AlphaTest-449" "RenderType"="Opaque"} This makes most clothes invisible, but also hair and eyes. On Transparent-999, it makes all transparent objects on avatars invisible, unless their render queue is somehow lower
Okay i think i might use that for a project cool
Wait, it seems they're the same, and that the difference was ZWrite On/Off. But with zwrite off it, while it deleted hair and such, it wouldn't draw below the mosaik shader from the asset store
transparency doesn't stack for most setups in vrchat. so looking at one transparent thing through another just erases it
I've made two now, with "draw before transparent" and "draw before alphatest"
With ZWrite on, it removes the semi-transparent shaders, while still drawing the opaque avatar body
I have a setup that erases everything higher than 2000
Is that what u want?
Wait, delete the "renderType opaque" thing
And that shader has some interesting stuff I could play with!
Ye
But it also seems sort of heavy compared to my oneliner
There are many render types
If you don't delete the "render type opaque" from what I send earlier, it will stop updating your screen in that space
Which causes effects like seeing 100 nameplates besides eachother if somebody walks through it
Oof i accidentally made that effect on a stencil pen once
do you know why it does that caffeine?
it still updates the screen
but the grabpass hasn't been done yet so it's using the grabpass from the last frame
Oh, cool!
My new shader seems to be doing that in Unity, but it should work in game. It's the same one as I used before, just with 2001 and 2451 render queue rather than 3071
I will hop on VR, laters
I wonder if i use that effect in front of a canvas if i can draw on the canvas
it'll be super glitchy but sorta
I remember it being weird before
Ill have to see what happens if i stick try to stick the tip of a pen into it
Wonder if the image stays on if i move
Welp I was right about yesterday.
One of my friends was bragging how his girl gave him VRBooty for christmas, and I laughed hysterically.
@zinc solar the retardation of some people in this game is intense.
"I can't spend time with my family for Christmas because I got to bang Hatsune Miku on a social game in my VR headset" 
"Lol gotta please my most likely overweight hideous in game gf in a video game instead of spending time with family"
vrchat taking long distance dating to the virtual bedroom
@quiet river That's pretty much any social, or MMORPG game. people will find a way to ERP. Hell they even do it on Roblox, and Minecraft. With VRChat though, people can make themselves sexy anime characters from deviantart and grab some nude bases so they can bust a VRNut with them with movement work they have to do. I'm in a Discord that has a section for ERP, and you should see the videos and images they post xD
IMO if its consensual and it hurts the sex trafficking industry it is π with me.
... paying for erp? hell.. just get some anime girl with big milkbags and someone just starts to go down on you. no need to pay.
erp
wholesome RP
If it exists there is porn of it. If there is porn of it someone pays for it.
adeon do u have porn


A lot of my avatars are busty. I see you guys in those private instances π
I choose to believe tupper is ever present and sees all
Okay, I just got vr chat yesterday, and I freaking love it
wut?
i always forgot there were boob bones to get jiggle and barely added them on my few recent avatars
Tons of people got vr headsets for Christmas
So there were lots of new faces yesterday
yeah i met a few of them in a pug on christmas eve night/christmas day morning
Just think. Next year will bring an even highr volume.
all the VR
I just got my VR yesterday too LUL
I wonder who got more excited to have a VRNut rather than playing other VRGames when they got a headset.
I've had VR but rarely use it for VRChat, prefer to play Beat Saber in my spare time now that I upgraded PC
But I already have a Buizel avatar Pog
If tupper is not a Cirno in VRChat I will be mad
He is
Better
I actually never had a main avatar? I hate anime guys, or goth/punk looking characters, and most of my avatars are fun jokes to give people a laugh.
I need a main avatar...
Iβve tend to have a base of the month
Mine is probably Kermit
I make a base body or head and use that for awhile
The one avatar I use the most, is a small bunny, or steampunk plague doctor
Desktop support is important. Headpatting desktop users is how you then them into vr users
But I don't consider them my main
Most recent two are a gender swap of Link and a head base of Lucina thatβs put on a variety of bodies
Have yβall ever made your own avatar?
Itβs pretty easy
yes c: in my profile pic
Yeah, not 100% from scratch though I have made props and clothing from scratch
How difficult would it be to make Totodile
I do free commisions actually
free commissions? you either take commisions or do it for free 
I do free commisions, the most I'll charge is $1 if someone wants particle effects, or special animations.
But commisions are full atm, so not taking any. Do something
So you do commissions , don't say free lmao
makes zero sense
Like saying you sell something for free
Someone already has a totodile on their disk and Iβm pretty sure theyβre gonna get it for me PogChamp
Free commissions for any avatar, but if people requests something outside of the avatar that's advanced such as animations, or effects then yes I will charge. Avatars are free, effects are not. Derp
I mean you can give a free cup but got to charge for the soda unless you just want plain water.
Mod team is banning avatar creators for no reason since their cloning feature, have fun making avatars these days :')
Instead of wishing commit yourself to learning if you really want to learn something you can learn it c:
I only make avatars for myself so c:
that's just their personality lol
Anyone can make an avatar if they got the time, and basic understanding. I only started doing free commisions because people are sometimes too moronic to understand the basics.
Iβve only ever looked at the software for like 10 seconds, then I had to leave the house, so Iβll probably set aside a day where thatβs like, all I learn
imagine being so petty in response to someone simply trying to motivate someone else
1 &1/2 years ago I thought Iβve never be able to do this too.
I lack any motivation, or emotional concerns towards others. Hence why I am the way I am.
@safe marsh it's not even an avatar ban, random 2 months or even 4y bans :')
ikr Mic lol
onyl thing i've heard of is a 3 day public world ban
Need a deeper understanding of what you're talking about?
and to be honest the avatar, now that I know what it is, had no business being spread anyway since it's a massive particle spam
Is that the avatar steal thing you're talking about?

Herbalist is talking about being banned for having your annoying particle spam avatar cloned
No clue what you guys are talking about. All I know is it's something about people getting banned for making avatars
just don't make particle/audio spam avatars, e z
I do recall the snappy response to the worry "What happens if people spread annoying avatars?" being "well, just report and it'll be dealt with" soooo
i think i never used a single avatar with crazy effects...it's just so annoying...the worst ive done was poping a sword out π sometimes i think im too lowkey
Why would you even support a mod team like that tbh
public is all about annoying avatars these days with their clone feature
https://puu.sh/CnpKb/abc9cb6282.png I mean even someone complaining about the person who was banned also complained about annoying avatars being spread
Yesterday I was a spider and switch because someone had arachnophobia, but then I saw 4 more people with the same avatar, and more spawning chasing that person
Most of them weren't even meant to be spread either way.
Now that I know that static meshes are very optimized Iβm going to go to town with props
If it's not meant to be spread put in on Private or turn off Sharing.
Oof. the spiders avatars....ive blocked so many..
Why would I not support a mod team that at least made an attempt to keep annoying avatars from being spread? lol
just don't do things with the intent to annoy others? Kind of easy
I disapprove of about a million other things they do, sure, but this specific case not really
I only change avatars if someone is too scared, or too bothering.
Game design 101 βdo no annoyingβ
Like if 5+ ppl are gona clone the spider avatar and put themselves on my face when i freaking hate spiders to death, yeah , have fun being blocked.
and ppl think thats funny since they laugh and stuff..i simply don't get it...
https://puu.sh/CnpNX/6fbf3c578c.png like what did you expect?
EVERYONE agreed and suddenly someone's friend is in trouble and now they don't? lul no
Yeah, I rarely use my spider avatar since some people are scared or have arachnophobia
everyone
was wondering and thinking about maybe getting a vr headset afterall... how much space on average do you need/have for vr... also, whats the difference in oculus or vive for vrchat - pro/cons
I'm sorry, the majority of users with a brain agreed that you can just report users with annoying avatars.
Everyone is a poor generalization, you're right.
@obsidian oxide I recommend a decent sized play area. Wmr can handle the smallest play space where oculus and vice need slightly bigger play spaces.
"Wait a second, we're being held accountable for our actions? Ugh fuck this moderation team!"
Oh I thought you meant the update in general.
4x5 feet should do it
Nah the cloning thing is fun but needs a pedestal only option, but even then if your friends are being a dick with your avatar that you spread you're probably still gonna get in trouble
"Majority of users with a brain" What's the other folks? Jellyfish?
Wmr is windows vr headsets
That's exactly the issue with this update
I mean don't spread annoying avatars and you won't get in trouble.
One guy gets banned for having an avatar laying around, while others abuse it. Then suddenly avatar worlds disappear because the author is banned
Atm the best headset for VRChat is oculus because it now runs nativity on itβs storefront
just yeeting content from the game
"laying around" it was public. he had it set to public and he had sharing on
let's put sharing on default on
they told everyone here and in the patch notes
oculus because its easy to set up? ok iirc vive was praised back when vrchat first came out because... uhhh can't remember but iirc everyone was shitting on oculus
You don't default something like that on.
I actually really like my Rift
Things have changed
@obsidian oxide wmr if u have no playspace, oculus/vive for best experience and reasonable sized playspace, vive for full body shenanigans
You're right, it should've been off by default.
You can easily already see the impact of it.
both parties are in the wrong, it's just that one can't be punished for it
well thats a big difference that was missing from his suggestion... vive for full body...
also he can just re-public his world when he's unbanned, it's literally a 3 day public world ban
is occulus not capable of that then i guess
he can still play too
it is i think, you can mix, but im a vive user, cant rly talk for the oculus part
Yeah. Price is also better
I wish the mod team would deal with the logout crashers
He got a 2 week ban and after a try for an appeal he got a 4y ban
That's why I don't approve of this at all.
are cables ever getting in the way? i'd think you'd always notice them or at least sometimes you'd feel them slightly dragging you because of the weight hanging down from you... iirc vive had a wireless version, what about occulus
I for example have a vive coz i wanted to have full body c: ease of life
Well you can mix, it's just super expensive to mix rift with HTC fbt
i already sometimes have the urge to reposition everything on my desk because its not in "the right spot" when i'm playing.. like that one gif of a starcraft pro who adjusts his keyboard and mouse with a ruler before the match lol... i just thought it could really be immersion breaking sometimes
You get used to the cables and you basically turn and whatnot in ways that the cables won't annoy, like muscle memory...i can dance with the cables , do 360 turns and whatever, but ofc you can allways pay the extra buck and get the wireless.
which avatar are we talking about that got someone banned? i figured it as the emoji thing since that's what i kept hearing about here
also i genuinely doubt the appeal is what got them a 4 year ban, odds are they tried to circumvent it
After you play for a while, you subconsciously move so that the cords donβt get in your way
I'm sympathetic to people that are victims of bad moderation but that's just too suspicious to not question
Just donβt make bad Avatars 4head
What if I just make very poor that don't have any particle spam? 
making an avatar that's abusable public π€
I mean, there's a time and a place for memey avatars
typically they're in the box where there's plenty of space
falloff, etc. im sure they're not all made with the intent to abuse, but you've gotta take into account that it's something heavily abusable, which to me seems extremely obvious in most cases
sorry you had to go through such abue 
Fight back. Destroy them for complaining. Rise above
Bruh the person making my totodile avatar is putting a hat on it PogChamp
can 5 people please dm me?
Pff.. mods never look at chat you crazy
mods are sleep go ham 
i never managed to send a pepe that stood alive for more then 10secs 
lol and dont ping one or you'll get in twuble
@ Admin 
hm
imagine forgetting the space
Do it 
no
Fun fact, nothing would happen coz they don't care
LOL
theyre used to it by now
i mean if youre intentionally doing it to be annoying vs just being stupid and not knowing better, then they probably will
To be in the VRChat team you have to survive being pinged in the discord 
i love how in big discords pinging the higher 'Authorities' feels like such a taboo lmao

im 99% sure its muted anyway
Usually because there's a normal way to get their attention at a lower level
nah what kind of mod would do that? A smart one?
The mod team mods. They canβt fix bugs. @earnest harbor . The dev team is on holiday
Yeah the chat mods are only for discord
who is looking for a fight?
@earnest harbor me

1v1 me final destination no items


How do you join Public Events
busted
I get spammed and yelled at, cool.
spammed lol
yelled lol
imagine having that heavy of a victim complex
Weβre reaching levels of victimization that shouldnβt be possible
Chats lovely today
π
As it always has been
Today? Only today wow
Apparently, good to see it's as toxic as usual.
Define toxic
Earlier was memes, but your input wasn't..
Chat has been quite neat the past few days 
At least most of the time
Itβs that holiday spirit
Followed up with sounders

i was gone the last few days.... Coincidence?
π€
Nope
No @vocal shard :^)
Oof
And weβre back to bad chat hours, rip
Yeah sometimes this chat is 2000 mph and sometimes it's like 3
And we still have slow mode. Lol
There are 6476 users in VRChat currently
wow look at it go
Didn't there used to be like 50k players at one point?
More like 5k
Max was around 20-25k
Oh ok
F
Then the servers would die
Really died off I guess
Dead game abandon ship
Was during the time of knuckles
Fallout 76?
Ye
It's also right after Christmas soo..
Donβt complain, 3 years ago youβd struggle to find a single person online outside of the times events happened
I'm actually suprised at the bump in player count
There's not much of a bump, the DDOS and current network issues really turned off a lot of casual players
It was in the low-mid 5k for that past little while
3 years ago thereβd be between 10-30 online
We were hitting like 8k and 9k every weekend a few months ago
lol rite
Is that sarcasm I detect in your text ?
no
October/November were probably the busiest months since the boom and then the DDOS was in november and we're RIP now.
I totally disagree
I don't mean the game is dead, it's just lost a significant amount of casual users
If theyβre casual, then, not worth worrying about imho
we just need new world editing mechanics
lol casual users are what turn into regulars
Im over here learning how to make these Rogurs start shooting eachother in PlayMaker
@lapis nebula yeah what f2p game needs casual players amirite?
and they were frequent enough players to let us hit 8k-9k most weekends in october/early november
If you love a social environment like VRChat as much as I do, you keep using it and donβt let technical difficulties or attacks put you off
So basically only the obsessed? That's a terrible mindset for future growth.
The "real fan" argument. A really bad one.
Nah put in a monthly subscription so only the h a r d c o r e players hang around
If it keeps the Knuckles at bay, Iβm happy
"Real fans" are more likely than anyone else to get annoyed at technical difficulties or issues with the dev team
Id rather have knuckles than the crashers we have now
i miss those critters
Because "real fans" play the game a lot and can get their frustrations built up when they're being ignored or shot down instantly
After the trust control, Iβve had no issues with crashers
I have had the same issues before and after the trust system: almost none
In terms of crashers
The problem is that there were so many undealt with that we even needed the system lol
Still see modified clients but not as much as a few months ago
even if it wasn't a "trust" system and just a "do yo uwant this on or off" kind of thing
There's plenty of logout crashers in the game, and they'll not hesitate to hit you if you say something they don't like
what do you guys feel about a world mechanic that forces an avatar on you
Safety settings don't protect you from them either
Anyone constantly getting kicked back to the "logging-in" screen?
i havent got on vrchat yet
I managed to get to home, after almost 10-20 tries, after which, this started happening again rip
also gotta remember that they released the oculus client so the numbers may not be 100% accurate assuming the bot just takes it from steam
Anyone else experiencing an issue where VRChat runs at 11fps for the first few minutes of it being launched in VR?
Only issue im having is the favorite avatar option is being dumb i unfavorited an avatar and it refuses to take it off even if i favorite another it also refuses to show any new avatar i favorite
How's everyone doing today? :>
tired and full belly π π·
Same here
Curious if anyone has found a way to increase upload speeds between Unity and Amazon S3 when uploading avatars and worlds. It appears to cap out around 890kb/s for me. Anywhere else I can get about 12mb/s. Or is this just rate limiting on S3?
could be your ISP, could be Amazon S3
ISP ruled out unless they have peer limiting with S3. I can upload anywhere else @ 12mb/s
What is your ISP?
yeah that's what I meant
Itβs a nice quiet work day today
Comcast has fairly shitty routing towards S3 so
I will do some throughput tests to other S3 buckets and see if I can rule that out. Thx.
You could try a VPN but unity likely won't like it
I know the vpn service I use doesn't let unity open any projects
Or unity not liking the VPN service
I could do that. I have a tinc vpn mesh between my home and linode/vultr.
consider talking to amazon noc if nothing else
i've had to poke their traffic eng a few times over this shit .-.
sometimes i just reset my NIC and it fixes itself, really stupid shit :D
thank you tupper for bringing us all together it has been an amazing year
Anyone know if the new years times square world is getting reuploaded for unity 2017?
I enjoyed that world, but the last time I went in there it was pretty broken.
Yea they have an updated version ready to be uploaded
I know for sure the photo's and stuff changed unsure about bugs π€·
did it have any bugs, the last version?
seemed to work pretty nice last year
it took forever to load last year, thats for sure
but, thats expected on the scale of how many high quality textures are in it for the billboards
I kinda missed the convo about playercount but if you really want accurate info about player counts youβd have to look at a longer time frame than just certain months. A year or more would be a better comparison since player counts strongly change during the year and on holidays
@vocal shard Wait- Are you by any odds mirroreggs from Plug.dj/Dubtrack?
Shit boy- Im finding all them NC boys stalking me to here π
I used to be admin for nightcore reality^^
Well- Im just a random guy :^)
You are actually the first one i see here from all the nc people
Most of 331 knows about this thanks to me-
I quit the community and then got active with this game and stuff
And i seen some Ba's/Admins in here also
Maybe should hint again at who i was/am π
That random guy/Neko depending when i was active and on what website
Wait, did someone say NC?
Gotta run π
We both hosted different communities- Thats where i know him from
Lol Iβm actually from a couple communityβs that detest nightcore.
Tbh- I hated most of the peeps who made* it
Got info beef with plenty of boys who made it
bois
Eeee-- Rereead it first. To tired to write
anyone interested in rigging my model? (willing to pay)
Iβm not here to start any fights. Just putting that fact out there
For that stuff its best to ask within VRCtraders ( #community-servers-old )
Make sure to not pay anything like 20 euro here and stuff as thats way too much for a simple rig.
Also get someone to refer you to someone else for an avatar as that works out best.
Thanks
@round bone don't be a victim and rigg it by your self, it can be so easy after the first time you did it and you understood it...
20 is a shit laod for a simple rig as there are websites out there that can do it for ya :x
Unless you manually weight paint shit
Yea but if you want quality you dont use websites ;D
Yea which is why im saying. With some models you can get away with it but if you want it done proper do it yourself
True-
But then its a bit more then 20 bucks for anyone who does this often
Or pay someone who does it
Tbh- no one does weight painting perfect
I just steal public avatars xD
Having something 'perfect' yourself for this game will just look out
And perfect meant no clipping at all
Can you do a Kermit imitation?
I actually made a deku for someone some time ago π
But yea
Omfg Iβm really jealous of who got it
Do you have a picture of it/can I see it
I can say βKermit the frog hereβ in a good Kermit accent, but nothing else OOF @vocal shard
Btw mirror you still with NcR?
RIP
If someone here should ever wander somewhere to get domething done for themselves on their avatar make sure you get along with the person well and that they take their time. Nothing against vrc traders, but iβve heard a lot of bad things about the people offering service there so make sure to be careful
Its why i suggest you get someone trusted there and have them recommend someone
@umbral reef no, i quit ncr like 4 years ago after pouring 5 years into it
Wait you left that long ego?
Yes
Get someone trusted to be the middleman?
Middleman?
Just talk to who you think you can trust
Wait that was after the user boom on the website right? Or right when the website went down?
Ayyy- That explains it. Was confused as i recall seeing you after it got back up
But prob had the times wrong
Im still on their discord
But thats about it, they renamed to their own community as they didnt want to deal with having to wait for danikas approval all the time
lmao
Well 331 did the same kinda
We just did everything without waiting for sarah and i was pretty much the proxy host until she stepped down after some pushback for actions
Yea and after i decided to do a gaming community which didnt happen and now in creating my own content together with a friend since march π
Mirror Sim
Simulator
Im not sure i understand what you are trying to say
Vrchat has loads of mirror potato's
VRChat is Mirror sim
Oh
XD ok so i actually understood
True though. And if you want people to stare at you all the time, make your own avatar a mirror :^)
XD
Cant anymore after the camera stuff got yeet'd 
The world shaders use a camera so 
Maybe you could but i doubt it tbh
Uuuu over a year by now
π
I proxy took over Nc331 9 months before the website died
Then pushed us onto another website where we kept most users
Stayed on plug for a while before i got bored and school/work took over.
So then i went to here and well- Still here
Does anyone have an Ahegao face of anything from VRChat? DM me a pic!! I need one for an avatar
@umbral reef a good, nice rigging job can be way more then $20. thats not easy work to do well at all
@vocal shard I fix my own stuff- Cant be assed to model things so all i do is swap stuff, repair and weight paint
That is perfectly fine. I see a lot of people just download prefab avatars and they never learn the basics.
I know how to do everything by hand π
Because when i started our qtie hotox and givemeallyourcats or what it was again there program was from finished π
All i used it for was translating materials after i learned it could do that
As i got annoyed by having to use another for it
Yeah learning that is handy but rigging from nothing is ughh...
Any news on the login loop fix yet?
Nope- they will yeet something within #announcements or #server-status else
Kinda sucks i cant hang with my friends
I didnt even know there was a login loop issue
is this only for certain people?
or is it random?
What city is the server located
For me I have it almost every time so I have to enter my login data any time I want to play
I get it after i login and then goto a world from home
Lots of people with satellite internet apparently
Its the .3 fix they pushed
Went from fully locked out of the game to being into only able to join the spawn world mimi
And ping effects stability of the network and can get you yeet'd
Gearbell couldn't log in for liek 11 days and that's the longest i heard of, and despite there being a workaround, it's an extremely tedious one that doesn't work for everyone
Whats the work around?
Are there ports you have to open? Cause for some reason it takes ages to start downloading avatars, or worlds but once it starts it goes quite fast
Can we add chairs to avatars?
Yes...
Just add the chair prefab and that's it?
@zinc solar you need the new sdk
@zinc solar don't add the prefab ... add the station component, as explained in the release notes
Do avatar stations not support enter and exit positions? I canβt upload if they are not empty
My computer was working fine with VRChat yesterday on my Mixed Reality headset but now it's being slow
Check your task manager.
check if your memory and cpu
Itβs generally gonna be slow if thereβs a crazy amount of CPU use
sooo why are people getting banned for having a donald trump or pepe avatar?
Impersonation and that frog is the devil
maybe cause Trump is a nazi
i dont know why its wrong but ok
Itβs in the rules. But donβt ask me
ig
Politics are a no-no either, even figures of politics
Yea. The impersonation rule goes for Communtiy figures
i dont get the pepe though
it's a stupid meme
like fortnite isnt?
Fortnite isnβt a meme itβs a game
It was used for racism and as a hate symbol, so to speak
ah
It was pulled out of the obscure can by memers.
True
So are many things they use tbh.
I donβt know the devs reason but it does wonders for keeping out a certain type of attitude.
hi
Lemme guess.. 
Stubborness?
anyone up for avatar hunting?
Im asking someone to find it with me shush
β€
At work atm, so.....nah




are any avatar creators online? i would like to put an avatar request π
same
Dude.. you just used the same pepe emote.. that ain't allowed around here
i will pay in vbucks
@knotty stag Depeding what you need its best to ask within VRCtraders discord and you can find the link within #community-servers-old
"hyper"
Alright you doubt it. I know the truth π
yeah u do 
thank you @umbral reef ^-^
@umbral reef you're still not banned despite this failed attempt at "snark" on his part
Lmao
π oi
Was searching old stuff and found this
I like how Little Mouse is suddenly acting like the limits are the best thing evar
Thats my last insult i made in here c:
They were grumbling about it almost everywhere
damn imagine your dates being formatted wrong
That's GREAT Americanism :3
It's OK, LM is fixing all their avatars β€ they posted some progress in opt
well, maybe upping new ones
Yeah I saw, but their sudden change of heart is setting off all my bullshit meters
They're acting like it's the greatest thing ever in here, even though they have complained about the limits a ton
In their own Discord too, they called it "a natural consequence of high quality models"
naw gonna give everyone a chance, i've had friends that kind of seem to "get it" after all this info being thrown around
i mean i dont care about the commission thing, it's whatever to me
And every time they came up in this Discord they have been DM'ing people to try and save face
also that's not wrong, it is a natural consequence of a high quality model. the problem is we shouldn't be making those lol
Well, to a degree. No excuse for mats and stuff like that but DB can really make something look awesome
I got a DM from one of them basically saying that they used Filn's models for their avatars, and later on (a few months later) they denied it
They just seem like scummy people tbh
I have not heard a single good thing about them
Low poly is my aesthetic
Lot of those everywhere
Gimmie dem Sega Saturn looking models pls
Lol, I should take some of my older models and completely wreck the normals
Lot of drama and jerks in the avatar creation community. Meanwhile the rest are just tryna make good stuff
So you can see every poly
I honestly just want public world avatars moderated properly, I'm not here to fix people's personalities lol
Makes no difference to me if the person is my friend or some jerk random, just fix your world's stuff.
I respect that
I hate the worlds that give me double or triple vision. Ewgh
Even more so with screenshaker avatars.
I know approximately one person who took advantage of old worlds not being rescanned in order to fix his stuff and now it's newly published with all good+ avatars. not really a common thing. most people get their world taken down for accidentally re-uploading, otherwise they'd just keep overwriting IDs with bad ones
@vocal shard that might just be someone who doesn't have VR and couldn't test their shaders to be fair
Ah okay, there's only been 3 worlds that have done that to me. It hurts sometimes lol
If it's the world itself that should be caught on review
But I've heard rumors that in the past, some reviewers would test on desktop
I've jumped into a new world only to instantly get double vision before, so I could believe that
I'm still not a fan of the good reqs and I still aint fix mine.
I strive to be within public world limits
And the world thing, there was a spooky map that got broken vision with the update
I'll deal with my realtime light making me Very Poor even though it only casts light on players, has an incredibly small radius and has no shadows
YOU
I just want them to fix the particle stuff so my system doesn't mistakenly get counted as having 3 million mesh particle polys
I could just make the limits so high that it wraps around and becomes negative 2 billion
People like you with lit models that break mine.... grr
How so?
It's a tiny light on the head that doesn't even reach far enough to affect anyone else
I might as well bake in the emission
Depends on the light honestly, but there's a light that people use that break the shader horribly
But my very poor are because of dyn bones and colliders..
Oh yeah, dynamic bones kill my avatars too. I gotta redo the weight paint on my skirts at some point.
Then there's guns and swords being separate meshes that knock down rating
If you can, make them regular mesh renderers
For sheathed swords, you can probably make them a separate mesh attached to your hips
Or at least the sword
Or make it part of the same mesh and replace the material with an "empty" one when you need to draw it
Shader with no ZWrite and ColorMask 0
point lights are still somewhat expensive even if they donβt use shadows
Nahh like I said, I'll keep them as is since they aren't a part of the problem
Yeah, I know they're expensive but it's the only way to achieve the effect I need
:>
someones tank was huge and drops me to like 5 frames
then 10 people cloned it and oof game broke
Need Godot's mask to glow lol
Can't achieve it any other way, baked emission wouldn't look right
@stone current if only block avatar worked based on the avatar... https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/personal-avatar-blacklist
Avatar issue still there
If only there was like a minimum spec for vrc that people would listen to...
Consider one for the desktop users
Or you know... a test to see if your system was qualified for VR and that could be the baseline
I just uploaded and made alt avatars for when i can login again
How do I connect to EU servers?
there are no separate servers for different regions
I get sooooo annoyed in open mic night! Everytime I say something, a guy wants to start showing me his guitar skills or singing. They all sound the same!
Plot twist: it's the same guy on different accounts wanting to pick you up


not using animations to pick up girls π€
Them normies
Full body tracking + animations is how you do it 
Did you just greentext? π€
The right way to pick up girls is a nepstack with all chairs turned on
lol my avtar marked good but in game is p00r
angery
no its a chopstick with a station at its base
Every avatar that people consider attractive is inferior to anything else. I play VRChat to be Santa shrek with a sprite cransberry and 99 Prayer cape, not to hide my appearance behind some character from deviantarts wet dream and look for a VRGF to bust that VRNut
@umbral oracle 
:nepslap:

I play VRC probably to enjoy the freedom that VR allows, and also because inside of VRC, socialising is somehow just completely different for me than outside.
Maybe it's the fact that inside the game, I can assume that everyone is just there to relax and enjoy themselves, and also going to share interests and world experience far more similar to my own.
If anyone wants to friend me my steam name is Cadeocracy912
is anyone getting this weird issue where their steam client just suddenly exit by itself which cause VRChat to go not responding?
Huh.. that's new
You sure something In your network or software isn't working right?
Im going to give VRC a few more days before i give up on it
are you having network troubles?
7+ days now and cant goto any worlds other than the home one










THIS IS THE CHARACTER IM LOOKIN FOR LMAO
