put your hoodie on a scanner
So....you have clothes in real life sitting in your laundry and you're asking if you can put it on your avatar?
Photogrammetry or ToF scanning
put it on your avatar
You should edit messages
ok im gonna go get a snack and get in VR, this is silly
idw?
edit mode bugs out sometimes
What's the point of correcting an OK into ok anyways
Because they don't wanna scream
yeah theyre being polite
Sasha being inpolite
ok
The new valve index 2
I question it because I wanna know the thought process that goes into stupid decisions lol
Virtual boy with joycons
3 people hid my avatar and 1 muted me, sick
joyconboyz
I have a mod for the valve index 2 and I can use n64 co trollers
Joyconboyz.... rip Etika :(
F
I never watched his streams but I always binged watched his highlights
It sucks I can’t.... do that
I was hyped for the 2b2t streams
He never got to see sans in smash
I have so many ppl on vrchat that i dontr remember who they are
I'm kinda debating if I wanna delete people i dont remember
do it
Depends
not like you ever talk anyway
Have you ever hung around these a lot in the past?
I've removed tons of people and havent ranked down yet, you'll probably be fine
I don't remember them
Then ya'r probs good
I haven't gotten trusted yet that's the thing
I remove people I never interact with and who don't ever interact with me in any form (twitter, discord, or ingame)
There's people who I don't have added that I interact with every day, way more often than the people I remove on my friend's list
Depends on your PC specs
I had to prune my friends list a few times too especially because at the start of VRChat I wasn't very picky with who I friended if it meant having someone and ranking up
I don't add just anyone
Things have changed a lot since I've started back in August though
but I just don't remember them
I dont either anymore
I started somewhere in July
got my index 2 months ago
hard to play a lot with vive trackers lol
then dont?
Get battery packs you can strap to yourself so you can charge while playing
battery packs?
lmao
Get the new Trackstraps with the built in battery packs
When I was just randomly exploring avatar worlds
sounds like a good plan
they're supposed to add like 8 hours
prob wont get them until like a month from now
most likely will be sent from the US so will have to pay for that
and they're straps with batteries that will be 120 usd with shipping
ehh
I may as well just get a big ass powerbank
your not in the US
no
weird
rather have that over 100 usd for rechargable batteries
🤔 i mean if you oversimplify it like that lol
Mostly just because I have better stuff I could upgrade
FBT is more important than water ok
water is free
Depends if you have good PC specs, you should tell us what they are before you waste your money on VR you can't use
water is not free tf
water is free if only lol
Tap isn't free and water shortages make it costly in some places. Never as much as bottled ofc
yeah your fine lmao
yaeh you'll be fine. just get a rift s
its probs prebuilt if they are asking about which vr set
It's included in like every rent contract here at the very least
Yea
so for that, fbt > water
i wanna play vrchat but i just dont have the boost i normally feel
Weird, I'm kinda a noob but I just saw a huge avatar, like enormous - like a hundred feet tall. Had no idea that was a thing
Yeah since you can upload your own custom avatar, you can make them big, but the game isn't built very well for them, so menu's become hard to navigate
if it supported eye tracking you probably would've heard it long ago
Yes it does
why isn’t eye tracking a thing already?
for vr headsets?
get vive eye pro
I would rather get the index
I’ve heard only good things about it
I see
And I’ve heard the controllers are pretty good
Well, yeah the controllers aren't bad
what people should be focusing on is the quality of the headset tho
index is like the thing you need to get if you love vr more than anything
The index headset quality is always mentioned above other headsets in reviews
Can't get index here
Valve decided to not sell it in my country 😔
canada?
CA has the Index now
But there's still European countries where the Index is not available atm
let's not even talk about central america
No it's Switzerland
So it really is strictly EU only
Stuck with the original rift for now 😔
i think loads of WMR users hate u now svel

i hear so many wmr users "Oh i WisH I haD tHe OcUlUs RiFT
To be fair when it comes to tracking yes, II hear that alot too.

I'm that one who bought a rift and sold it, because I preferred wmr. 
Until I eventually bought a Rift S
Not my fault they are poor
When I had the Lenovo Explorer, if I raised my hands, spread them to the sides or lower them to standard side of hips position, the tracking is lost.
I got my rift like 3-4 years ago, I just want to switch to the new gen
I was getting a little tired of having to put my hands forward just to keep it in tracking.
I developed subconscious habbits, some of which I only notice now that my tracking range is larger
Yeah now I can stand normally and not look like I'm trying to do the robot dance but forgot the next step.
Lol. When I stood I would swing my arms. Some thought I had an idle animation

But yeah. I noticed when playing Boneworks how I subconsciously would always try to make sure my hands were in line of sight when doing climbing stuff. Or taking a very quick glance at them before moving them around, before I caught myself and realized I don't have to anymore
^
You know how satisfying it is to dual smg and helicopter while pulling the trigger? xD
Lol
Wasn't modular eye tracking a thing? 🤔
Nahw
It was supposed to be, but i haven't heard much from it
Pretty sure I remember it back when.
Like, they already had eye tracking for Vive and were working on Oculus.
one of my friend sways a lot like an idle animation
u know whats annoying, those newsyoutubers about vr
my vr "tick" is putting my hands behind my back when standing, either one or both
it's not how i stand irl ever but for some reason i do it in vr
Pimax was supposed to have one (another one of their promises.....)
And I remember a prototype that could work on vive, but I don't remember anything past that
everyone is like Ahhh oculus quest full body huge in the thumbnail , turns out to be impossible for conusmer xd
I kind of hold one arm sometimes to keep arm off of hip tracker.
Lol. And it's equal or more expensive than Vive trackers anyway
yeah , there's like a yt channel of 2 girls running it , casey and something else
really annoying girls
What people really should not make too big of a fuss about is the hand tracking with the quest.
The range is the size of a microwave xD
You point forward and irl you'll look like you're blaming someone. xD
And in VRC you'll look menacing xD
Wow seems like the quest was the wrong dedcision huh
When it comes to wireless VR I'm not going to lie, it's the best thing to ever happen to VR.
But in terms or visual downgrade & battery life? It's sadly the forgotten puppy of VR.
I see
People will give the Quest Link excuse but the latency in terms of video compression to the quest is noticeable.
Like on my feet
I was also waiting for the link
So @snow wadi which one is the best in your opinion?
If you've got the PC and the budget for VR, Valve Index. If you're got the PC but not the budget for VR, Oculus Rift S. If you do not have the PC or a big enough budget, Oculus Quest. If you do not have the PC or any money, play despacito.
Hahahahah
Technically you can use PSVR but the app to get it to work isn't free for one, and for the controllers you would need to get your hands on 3 PS3 eyes (cameras) and 2 PS3 move controllers.
And the setup is HELL.
The good news though is it's cheap.

Yeah you could get like a ps3 eye toy for 12 quid.
still
i remember someone that made a playspace possible DK2 with the eye toy camera's
wanted like 600 for it
meanwhile u could buy a original one for 250
PSVR is still $300 for the headset
still looking for DK1
Hey People This is weird but
is there a possible way to make a skype call and have the camera view be you in the game
idk if there are software that will make a fake windows camera that wlll screen capture
i dont have a cam and would rather sit n game and see the person am talking to and he sees my avatar while in game then being a normal call
Well. Skype does allow desktop capture
You could also use obs studio
There is a Webcam output plug in for it
And within obs you just normally capture vrchat
@ruby needle ooo its easy then glad to hear that Thx Fpaul
and lastly wonder how to see them without opening Steam overlay which stops tracking
i Believe OVR Tools allows that but am not sure
Yeah you can make your desktop show up in vr with OVR Toolkit
@broken plover Then May buy it now
how much CPU does it eat %
i heard it uses alot
not sure about that. I think its more gpu depending but its not as big of an impact from my expierence and I have a pretty bad pc
ahhh then they most have fixed it reviews are Pretty positive it was mixed a while ago
not sure if i'm in the right chat to ask this, but
does anyone know where i could find an iron man or thor avatar?
i am roy
Search for a marvel avatar world? @echo galleon
Hey guys
So I am new here on vrchat and I wanna request if anyone will be able to teach me what vrchat is and how to play please dm me :)
@drowsy timber i tried, nothing really came up
@vocal shard Have you not tried just... going into the game?
@vocal shard There is no need for DMs when there is a whole server dedicated to the platform!
@faint skiff I have but I couldn't understand anything that's why I am asking for help
Then just ask here.
Okay

You'll need to be a little more specific than that.
How to play the game

When you launch the game, you will be taken into a tutorial world, from there you will taught the basics.
xd
I did that
And what was not clear from that tutorial?
Now you bring up your system menu, choose the worlds tab and start exploring.
That's it?
That's it.
Oof okay
theres not really a story line in the game to follow up
So what I was trying is
i lost track at the chapter where traps got eaten by uganda knuckles
If you wish to meet people, you do that by exploring populated worlds and start socializing with them.
Okay and i am not begging
VRChat socializing is just like real life, you hang around with people and when see a conversation going, you can join in and share your thoughts on the matter.
Just like real life!
Got it
Well you can't be a pokemon or a car in real life but you get the idea.
Just like real life if you were an anime girl 🙏
Thanks alot tho
Np.
i hate ordering stuff online... waiting 3 days for me new tv
congrats u got the trap rank
What's that?
lol
https://medal.tv/clips/14969761/d1337OF68HXh king of VRchat himself making a cameo in da gmod server
?
Bring back open mic night world 😦 was my best hangout spot at this time atm Great Pug seems quiet
hi
can you make your own vrchat avatar?
i can
bruh
@uncut trail It's still there? https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_94ef6736-f998-4099-b456-b3a444734013
whats ur fav food @faint skiff
Yeah but no one hangs
@vale wave worlds die
big sad, i kinda feel sad about gaia night being ded
I mean, Gaia night died because of a different reason than open mic night
why did gaia died then
Simple, they started to add a bunch of stuff to the world that was pretty pointless, and no one really liked it after they added the extra areas
A lot of people also started to lag after they added those areas
Yes but, “classic” wasn’t a thing until after the world was dead
or pretty much dead
so sad , because it was so peacefull and lovely atmosphere
hello folks so quick question since yesterday vrchat takes a insane amount of min to load to smallest thing anyone got similair issues? im on rift s btw
brb
yup do that every week
i re instaled the game aswell
and its white listed on my scanner
how do you make your own vrchat avatar
use unity best to look at a video tutorial
ok
dm me if you wanna play vr chat with meh im bored ass hell
Btw possible VRChat can do chairty to help out the Australian Bushfire thingy i know most aussie's plays/streams this are effected by it but would love to see community to help out
@vale wave Hard to say, but I'm a big fan of a custom seafood sauce, cottage cheese, lemon, Worcester sauce and prawn mix over salad or baked potato.
Serious chat, How do i stop myself getting neck ache from constantly looking at all the 1 foot tall Ava's T_T
Use a bigger avatar
I think their problem is constantly having to look down
My avatar is like 130 cm tall
Bingo Galium
use a smaller avatar then
The solution is to imagine they're normal sized and just talk over their heads 😆
I'm european idk how big 1foot is
Ooooo, i actually like that Gallium, it's like getting back at all the people irl xD
You have feet don't you?
1 foot is about 25 cm
oh wait, ummm rubs brain more like 30cm, 1 inch is 2.5cm give or take and 1 foot is 12 inches. Soooo yeah 30 cm
A in-game slider to adjust scale on the fly would be perfect but eh.
Either way, the animes have been in a race to the bottom when it comes to size for a while now.
People would keep going smaller and smaller 
They can shrink into a singularity for all I care
plankton in vrchat
That explains when i join a full room and see no one o.o they are all to small 😮
Plus shit falls apart when you get small enough your hands are closer than the near clip
Uhm... Scaling a model is Standart procedure. Having a offset like + - 1.0 would be a nice thing.
Or within reasonable range.
Neos and HiFi had a scaling feature and honestly it was more annoying than anything else outside of a very few specific use contexts.
Sooo back to my neck. Consensus is, be rood and just look over peoples heads >:)
It's their fault for being tiny anyway.
Still would be great cus now people upload like 5 versions or their avatars for different sizes
So it would at least be a good relief in that regard
<--- literally has 5 different sized versions
It is sooo odd though, irl i'm a short thing, so being the tallest in a room is so alien
So does paci lol
paci is dangerous
Even though I only use like 2 of 'em frequently
I have 3 versions of my most used outfits
That one being my normal version and the slightly taller one to pat taller people
Paci is adorable
And this is why it would be a good feature.
Saves storage and traffic.
I need to look into getting someone with more talent than me to put together a unique avatar at somepoint.
Any recommendations of creators, or is this not the place to ask ?
Check the partnered servers for "VRCTraders"
There is a whole discord actully
Oooo thank you kindly 🙂 I'll give that a look
I legit just said where to find it atlas
Oh
Shhhhh
I couldn't remember the name of it and vaneko did set it as a perm invite
I'm there xD having a look, many many many many many many many anime inspired, potential reskins on there rubs chin wonder if anyone does semi real from the ground up work.
lunch calls, laters. THank you for your help 🙂
lunch calls at 9am apparently
Gmt friendo :3 it's 2pm
Why for you think i was from the US of A ?
Then you would assume everyone is from England not the US 🙂
Semantics aside
Anyways, I played that huggi dungeon yesterday, is it supposed to be scary or?
my god 90 mins togo..
I can play horror games on pc without a problem at all but when I jump into a vr horror map I can't walk 2 steps without squealing
what should i do about someone ddosing my friend cause someone called knoche is running a client that she says can iplog and she is using a "botnet" and she wont stop someone help
in game name is knoche
Block that person, and tell your friend to reboot their router to get a new IP.
Done.
ok thank you
epic victory royale
ye i never knew that rebooting your ip it would change
Almost no-one has a static IP and rebooting forces your router to request a new IP from your ISP in 99% of cases.
oh shit man
are there any cafes on vr chat? i tried joining one but it just took me back to the hub
he got the IP address, you are so done
You have to go out of your way to get a static IP. Also, it should be the modem that gets the new IP (and passes a new one to the router). Unless of course your modem is also your router (which is very possible)
Also yeah, botnets are pretty easy nowadays because of the Internet of (Unsecure) Things
The modem is the router in almost all cases these days.
The S stands for Security in IOT
You may be right. I've had my own router and modem for years and I'm out of touch 😛
@finite peak there should be quite a few cafe worlds available
@gray citrus okay!!
hey its ree kid
Hi all 🙌🏻
hi
Heyo
You run automatically
Yep
i've just opened it for the first time and i'm honestly astounded that my graphics card (330) can run this, despite the minimum on steam being 970 lmao
That's for VR I think
can you move your hands if you play with keyboard and mouse
Nerd
Sorry
uh
Is there a way to get or buy custom avatars I want to be ainz ooal gown from Overlord lol
you can commission them
🤔 that's when you pay someone to make one for you rigt?
mhm
How do I see my friend requests in the vrchat website? People have been creating bots to friend me and track everything I do - including where I am ingame and freak me out. And my friends said that I can decline them in the website, so I won't be tracked.
I mean
😮 Thanks
Np
@modern sand 
what are you guys doinn
where to find the best kylo avatar uwu
Yo have $41 on steam and I don’t know what games to get. I’m tempted to wait for another sale, but I’m not patient enough
get rimworld
^ this is the correct answer
oeh
@abstract nymph I suggest SteamWorld Dig 2, A Hat in Time or Hollow Knight!
Hat in time is good
Oooh hollow knight is on my wishlist
Gris was also worth the 8 euuros (NO spoilers didnt finish it yet)
Yeah i finished hat in time :3
Added on 12/19/2019
Just like Friendo
hat in time such a good game and i don't even have it
I am dangerous 😮
Its chinese and full with micro transactions
oh ooof
so , not worth it
lmao I have some games on my wishlist from 2018

i have some games on my wishlist from 2016 lol
I have games on my llist froom 2020
Anyone else want to be able to have more than 16 avatars favorited, because they don't have enough room for their favorite avatars?
no i have unlimited space :>
yeah but actually no
is it possible to get a personal web browser
How do I make unlimited space, then?
ingame? no
:I
and no, 16 is more than enough
For me, nah; it's not.
it already slows traffic to avatar worlds
unlimited would only make it worse
Hell ,3 was enough back when it was only 3
:I Oh.
@vocal shard just make some models
I tried, and I have Unity, but I have no idea how to make just a hecking square!!
I have meme models favorited, but the ones I’m always in r my own
modded clients will allow you infinite space
🙂
how would you know
@vocal shard YouTube tutorials will be ur best friend
hes a hacker
why wouldn't i know ?
he got me 500 Vbucks
Hmmm.... YouTube it is, then!
if you cant use unity/blender you didnt follow one of the many simple guides to uploading your own model
I will do that later.
@rigid crescent making models are a lot easier than they were 2 years ago
https://youtu.be/VBZu_wNzERw use this and just replace whatever unity version he says with the correct one listed on the website
definitely
Like if u can’t figure it out now, than u haven’t tried
I'd say as of 2018, all the knowledge anyone would need to easily upload something is available en masse
🗡️
Just buy nikkytae's for 20 lol
nikkytae's?
Since day 1 I have used the same base model for all my models (basically). It’s kinda my “character” now
yeah that's what i've seen a lot of people do. they just built on what they started with until the design was more their own
vr tiiiime :3
I did the same but eventually ditched it for my Mimino

Depends on your priorities.
Quest 💤
so what if it ships by feb 2-
feb 24th :p
but i dont got the money rn
lets see.... i got liiike... $117 in my account... add - $138 that ill be paid on monday
just save up for a PC that can run the Rift S💤
ye, I agree with mic
but...- Gaming laptop?
what specs u guys have?
I can convince my brother so he can have the rift s and i can have the quest
He has a gaming CPU, i dont
let me check my specs.
okey
I just installed blender. Gonna find out how this all works.
i am a Turkey smelling vagina butt
xD
Nice
Oh my gosh, I made it less square! This is so much easier than Unity
u know whats easy?
Wut
winning with supersmash
Idk what that is, but cool.
wanna fight
Nah
I've gotta figure out how to delete and add things in Blender lol
How to rotate my camera thing? Or else the otherside of this is gonna be flat.
idk
@winged prism smelling what
Goku would body Naruto
hey weebs
Let’s argue
why not just watch a guide 🤔
Because, I don't feel like it.
And, I just made it bigger somehow and I feel proud of my idiotic self
let me tell you it's stupid to not search for a blender guide you're gonna be stuck for a while
cryyyy 🙂
yes
I'll make things when I actually don't feel depressed and get out of this day alive
Why depressed
aren't we all
am not either
beer bad
i'm normal
beer ghood
how much does the quest cost again? is $600 the correct price or am i looking at it wrong?
i think it was $450 or something
$400 US for the 64gb
But prices elsewhere vary
hm....
Cheap
There's a 64 gb, and a 128gb
They're exactly the same except the internal storage
well alright i guess
whats ur budget and do u have a pc
ahh i'm just asking how much a quest cost cuz i'm thinking of buying one Just to make contents for quest users sake
since i don't have a quest vr guineapig to help me test
why not
if i don't do that how can i make sure my contents for vrchat works for quest users?
don't make sure and life becomes easier
but seriously you don't have a friend who has quest or something
by simply looking at the requirement for Quest and making sure that your avatar respects all of it ?
that too the requirements are very specific right
nah not really
but the thing is to go in-game and test things out
just gotta like the look of nintendo 64 models
specific enough then
you can test in-game with an actual proper headset
No
or ask someone in game if they see it
a quest costed about 100 euros less than a Rift S, if I'm correct.. so around 300-350 euros?
but then again, you're probably american or whatever
Quest and Rift S are the same price in North America

Roy, do you want a flower
yes.
then yes
lol
Roy's a nerd
are you judgging
nice thats pretty cute
No u
No, I am v handsome

nice embed
I feel like in no time vrchat will be my most played game
Again
Huh
hello nice too meet u
Vrchat is most played vrgame
is it ?
it is, by like a country mile
Aw
beatsaber will surge sometimes and beat vrchat I think, but vrchat is really consistent with its player count. Literally >10k people playing the game right this moment.
hey can someone help me find a stitch avatar
that doesn't glitch out like the one from zero's avatars
more players rn cus of holidays right
its also holidays
are there any 3rd party programs i should have for VRChat?
N o
isnt there something that makes hair move and stuff?
so i can properly headpat people?
3rd party programs are against TOS
oop-
if you are talking about tools used for content creation, there are a few.
but what you described is against tos
am i missing how to move hair with my hands then? is there an option? or just bad avatars?
on others, no.
On your own model, i really wanna say no but yes... with colliders and dynamic bones.
Tho, awfull for performance.
gotcha
Explain.
Nope. Other than ones people've made.
Wait for Udon, maybe more will appear.
I gotta learn udon
Is there an expected release date in the update for unity 2018 for vrchat?
Officially end of last decade.
Since the current Beta build seems to be going okay, i guess not too long once the holidays are over 
not sure where this goes, but I saw a video of Yugioh in vr chat. Is that still a thing or was it taken down? a friend and I both got rifts recently and that was one of the things we were wanting to do
still a thing as far as i know, but it's a bit clunky
Hello
how can i check someones bio in vrchat ?
someones bio?
yes ?
no
you mean the stuff you put on your profile
my friend told me that he has his discord in his bio so i can write couse i dont talk
@devout island yes i guess
that's in the vrchat website
i guess he means his status
which you can find when you have the users info open, it's below the name and has a little dot in the beginning.
im quoting that
FPaul [1/3/2020, 10:10:50 PM]
What bio.
VRChat isn't a dating platform :cirThink:
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm assuming Ronokopl's friend is talking about the profile text on the website. You can write up to 512 characters about yourself there.
You can check it by logging into the website and selecting your friends.
There's not yet any way to check it in game, but I've heard it directly from a dev that there's intentions to do so at some point. Probably alongside or after the UI update.
I got demoted from Trusted to Known rank. Please explain why
1
does anyone know where i can find a Geralt of Rivea avatar?? been running around the last 2 hours looking
@meager solstice people are randomly blocking you just for talking to them
toxic community
i mean..... yes that is a possibility
I'm pretty sure it would take more than just some blocks to demote
Also I had trusted at 400...
So yeah.. 
you can lose ranks?
Apparently
u can be demoted yes
my friend has 2.8k gameplay still orange?
thats so sad
its different for everyone @gilded bronze
from my experience and what my friends have done (this was back when they first added the trust system) most of my friends didnt get trusted till 800+ hours
and uploading worlds/avatars does nothing to trust rank
dont know where u got that idea
no one knows what effects the trust system..... it has never been confirmed but i perosnally think uploads directly effect it
I have like 70 avatars my own
i mean i have 18 models zero worlds
2 world
No one knows for sure. It's always been strongly theorized that uploading worlds or public avatars that attract active users is a big boost to rank, but there's no solid data to go on. Just lots of speculation.
^ pretty much
i have a friend who gains and loses trusted every 2-3 weeks just about
Being a pleasant person and not getting blocked/muted/hidden, is also generally understood as the most core part of it.
Weird. Never seen that myself. '-'
yep, but also on the point of just blocking..... its not just like 1-2 blocks to derank someone from what ive seen
Huh? Who does? '-'
i think just random people they have met?
cuz no one knows, everything is a theory
without explaining anything
they dont want people to know because than it can be exploited
That's deliberate to prevent it being abused or farmed by bots.
No one explains it.....except the website
but not addicted
LOL no it wasnt, youre romanticizing the past
nah
i mean, there is a huge shift in the community from start to finish and how far back r u talking like pre-steam?
lol "launch"
so around the knuckles? @gilded bronze
i mean
Wait wait there's a meme about it
Game is about six years old now. Steam launch was 01/02/2017.
? wtf r u on about, first u say end of 2017, now ur saying mid-2017, than u say before mid 2017?
@modern sand sorry for the ping but you may know about this, I'm trying to find a world that claims to have ray tracing on vr chat, it similar to the Box world,but it has a couple of assets a car some spheres, do you happen to know the name?
or did u mean before the knuckles?
july 2017
"I've been playing this game since December 2018 bro" lol
idk much
From Steam launch I've heard from friends that the game was pretty magical, simply because literally everyone you met was still high on the wonder of it and their entry into VR, as well as the fact that it took a year before all the worst people figured out how to deliberately crash and sabotage the game.
It definitely wasn't better, people just like to romanticize the past when there were less than a hundred fucking people on in the time you claim to have been playing
@rigid crescent i thought u were brining up the Fliptrip "i miss old vrchat" video
that one came to mind too
average online players were in the 20s, the game wasn't better and I'm willing to bet youre lying tbh
old vrchat, wasnt bad but if u compare how complex models, worlds are now...... u would say wow this is much better
the only thing was better back than was it was a "closer" community
All the extra tools aside, there's also more knowledge on what we can actually do with the engine
The userbase was the size of a discord
"VRChat was better when there were only like 25 people on at most" I'm gonna have to call BS on that lol
kinda true
ok
before memes game was not crowded as it should be
The game shouldn't be crowded? why? It's a social game
I mean, which part of the game itself specifically would you want to revert to anyway?
If you wanna talk to like....4 people join a world with 4 people in it. There you go, your "early 2017 vrchat experience"
images allowed?
The only people with that mindset are the "secret club" crowd that hate their obscure and ~special~ community became popular
only links
The worse performance? The lack of ability to save or favourite anything? Lack of any self moderation tools? Lack of FBT? Older more limited Unity version?
No no, the limited knowledge and tools at our disposal to make cool things. THat was way better
I liked it more before there were more people with VR and Full Body
@rigid crescent https://i.imgur.com/RrYZXYm.png when I connected to steam
VR-Chat pre-CATS plugin. Yay. 😓
So....how was it better
Because all you seem to have said was "it wasn't crowded" when the entire point of a social game is for people to be in it
¿
Wrong
the trust system honestly effects my gameplay in no shape or form
Even July would still be roughly six months after the steam launch, but I'm not sure it really matters. The "What part was better" question is the relevant thing.
The system doesn't do anything at all. No one cares about ranks, there was no massive split in the community due to it like the idiot conspiracy theorists freaked out about
No one cares about ranks at all
Atleast veteran was removed ^^
now higher ranks are discriminating people
No they're not 🤔
just for their low rank
Trust system isn't perfect, but still gave us a relatively functional way to help control what we see without being force to just block people outright or otherwise hide the entire room.
Tbh, I see more pointless hate towards high rank rather than low ranks
I've literally gone out of my way to talk to 100 random users in Pug maps with User rank or lower and asked if they ever had any bad rank-based experiences
I've seen others claim that, but have never seen a single case of it myself.
It was somewhere between 10-15% that said yes and from what a few described, the person who did it seeemd like an asshole regardless
When it first came out I saw it a couple times, but even then was more memeing
the only time i have seen it was a meme, it was when the trust system was first added. This guy separated the pug floors by "ranks"
If anything I had more Trusted users nearby chiming in about how people will just assume they're doing annoying shit and hide them
^ that is true
There's more complaints from trusted users worrying about the system than there are people actually getting any trouble from it
the only complaint i have about current vrc is modded clients
lots of people fly/noclip/steal avatars
"steal avatars" is almost a non-issue, most avatars are made of stolen assets anyway
Fly/Noclip being an issue doesn't mean old VRChat was better either
lol
Stealing avatars is far harder than it was in the past though.
I'm just arguing the trust rank, all the other improvements are good
I'd take modded clients with the community we have now over having just a few dozen players on and only on weekends
The trust rank isn't an issue though
In the past anyone could look at you and grab it straight from your ID. Security isn't one of VRC's strong points, but it was abysmal in the older version.
If we reverted to those days with any of the stuff unsavoury people have learned these days, you'd probably have your account itself taken straight from you.
I mean it’s not even hard to make avatars anymore
What's your avatar 
@rigid crescent wdym?
What is it.
so i cant get on vr chat when i had windows 10 and downloaded some other needed applications and still couldnt get on vrchat what happened?
Also I hate to point it out, but the last time this exact conversation came up and the time before that, it was from a trusted user who had recently been demoted to known rank. Proceeding to argue with everyone else in the room, and complaining about a toxic community.
@rigid crescent I like ur pfp, cute avatar
thanks it the one i use regularly
(Oh, but hey, lets not try and target or shame avatar creation though. Where parts came from and how much work was done is beside the point here. Is also assumptive. : / )
@stuck oracle can u judge my model? is it cute if i post a pic?
@meager solstice I create via blender
I’m not really good at Avatars yet but sure I guess @meager solstice (plus I have a specific taste when it comes to avatars I like)
I just don't have much pity for ripped MMDs, that's all
So what if you put work in? What about the original creator? And is it suddenly OK if I put a lot of work into the model I ripped off someone?
that’s a really hot avatar 🥵 @meager solstice
I rip your cyclops girl. I put hours of work into it but it's still obviously ripped. Is that suddenly alright?
@stuck oracle oh that was the old one, this is my new one for full body that im working on still https://imgur.com/a/FaMamay
@meager solstice that's creepy for me
@rigid crescent did you make ur avatar from scratch? 🤔
Nah, I bought it from the creator on Booth
Ohhh
i dont make mine from scratch just saying... so dont get that idea
Customized it a bit along with a few variants
Is it bad if I don’t make a avatar from scratch 😅
No it's fine if you don't
like I take a base model and add hair and whatnot
Good evening, I have a small problem and I wanted to know if you could help me.
not at all, if u like the model, u like the model
Does anyone know how to find girl avatars from "Google"
i mean vrchat account not search engine lol
I could not find the world for that
Almost no one does avatars from scratch. Incredibly low % overall.
the few people with them more often than not bought them
;)
The face/hair of mine had no usage rules attached to it. The sweater probably did. I've seen both parts used by others in various combinations and it doesn't bother me at all. Obviously have no right to.
The part about avatar theft that makes my skin crawl, is the aspect of identity theft it carries.
Like my avatar is all made from publicly available parts. Anyone could remake it if they really wanted to, and there's no way to prevent that. And I even respect the effort.
But at the same time, if someone did do all that. Remake my textures and put it together to look like my avatar specifically, it would feel like a form of identity theft since I basically associate that avatar as my body.
Although there's nothing that actually makes it mine
A user that's fairly well known within multiple large communities had their model stolen recently. as far as I know, there was no "identity theft" aspect other than a comment I saw that said "Oh, I thought it was you then saw the name so i thought i'd let you know"
Well I don't mean actually pretending to be someone.
avatar theft also isnt restricted to private personal models. i'd be willing to bet with how assets "get around" despite heavy customization, more public models are ripped than private ones
You asked about arcades already
What makes more sense, not answering you or everyone online saying "idk" at once so you're acknowledged
I mean the aspect of your personal visual identity no longer being unique and recognisable as you.
have you tried looking for an arcade world?
Think you can login the site and search it up 
can someone answer my question up?
people may have unfriended you, reported you, or kicked you. just negative factors
you'll probably retain it quickly though
nah I mean I see a girl avatar on somebody and show its author it says Google but no worlds and when I search Google in search it shows nothing about her
i'm not sure. sorry
No profile for Google
the user, right
when searching
It just means the models can only be cloned and that the user doesn't have a public world for the models.
@rigid crescent can you read again?
I keep reading it
You saw a girl's avatar. You hit "Show Author". The author said "Google" but their profile had no worlds, correct?
and the user didn't show up when searching. It means they have special characters in your name and that's why you can't find them
that's what i mentioned
Except when you hit "show author" it would've shown their worlds if they have any
So again, it means they have no worlds
and the model is clone-only
can you stop spamming? you'll just get kicked
They'll take care of them
anyway, as I said the user doesn't have a public world or you would've seen it when you hit "Show Author"
ghost ping mods 👀
when you click show author it should have the author's profile and worlds below it
and since no worlds were shown, they have none public
but i'm confused. he mentioned how there weren't any special characters, but when the name was searched there was no one with said name
some characters don't show up because the game font doesnt know what tf they are
yeah, but it was mentioned that there were only characters in default font
yeah like i said, they don't show up
I could name myself Mic_Sounders[weird character] and it'd never show up ingame
oh yeah. like a white space?

If someone is using a crasher avatar, should I report them or the creator of the avatar?
Though it's kinda ridiculous seeing millions of particles in the avatar stats
how about both of them
Alrighty
Like 18 million mesh particle polygons wtf
I have the single most optimized avatar I the world
Good thing I turned off all particles aside for friends
what if you wanna see some cool particle from that guy with a cool avatar
yeah i learned to do that the hard way
have everything turned off except audio and avatar and voice for everyone
i dont get how people find avatars that have a lot of effects cool
i just find it annoying
I like seeing shaders, cause many of them are cool. Sadly, people like to abuse them :/
exactly which is why i have them disabled on everyone but friends
^
I probably should do that too, but the worlds I hang out in don't have many shader abusers.
or you can show someone's avatar
Only true galaxybrains realize that turning off only animations for non-friends is the way to go
lol
i got annoyed by it because a lot of people had visuals that messed with my vision and distorted it
you'll see all shaders and the usualy soft "default' particles and almost never see any annoying shaders at all
all the bad stuff is usually triggered by animations
I wonder why they can't just do a number check on avatars, and just automatically block avatars with millions of particles.
ive also realized the color around someones name means nothing
I've felt like the higher rank a user is, the more hostile they usually are
Yep, exactly. Higher trust rank users just stick in their own little groups
i have met some nice higher ranks tho
Same, but they're more of an exception than the norm
On a side note, the avatar testing world is pure cancer with people abusing literally everything imaginable. wtf
yeah if i mess with an avatar which ive only done once to learn everything, i just do it in my home world
