They need to take my $10 i just spend and fix the server 😠

[pallid vapor]

Yea. I mean nobody cared about trolling/crashing VRChat when it had maybe 30 people online worldwide during primetime

[fiery sentinel]

i used to have 2 hairless cats

[dim galleon]

Egyptian.

[tame wasp]

ugh

[fiery sentinel]

now just one though

[untold chasm]

Guys are the vrc servers actually dead from the update?

[grand zenith]

Personally I don't deal with crashers, don't hang around with the kind of toxic people who'd be interested into that stuff. + safety settings just do the job for me. Trolls comeone just mute or block nothing that the trust system solves or requires to be there for.

[tame wasp]

great
All because everyone and their grandma bought that damn plus and broke vrc

[vocal shard]

make a small announcement for it, always help to calm people down

[vernal forum]

Yes, I killed them with my bird hands.

[untold chasm]

Definitely

[vocal shard]

Pssst, devs, I'm off work in 5 hrs, you got time to fix the servers 😘

[ruby needle]

Since the update has been relaced a little ago it's not directly related, so.

[tulip bridge]

i cant log in to the game

[glossy wharf]

. just gonna keep quoting this now

[vocal shard]

poor spark gonna keep getting pinged

GaMe Go BuRrRrR!

[glossy wharf]

[cold talon]

[waxen wing]

[north willow]

VRChat down

[dim galleon]

Can we just @ tupper at the same time and just say boo him?

[vocal shard]

It takes them time to leak our credit card info guys

[amber juniper]

that's the reason why nobody should push updates on a Friday ;)
I hope it's just a small thing

[glossy wharf]

they did after i wrote that

[sharp parrot]

omg pog i love your music

[marsh stump]

Devs are aware the servers are down

[cold talon]

[fresh garnet]

[vernal forum]

[tame wasp]

duh, Svel. they are saying why the update was today instead

[clear wind]

[sharp parrot]

[modern fossil]

I though my internet went down because it told me that it did

[languid beacon]

But it’s Thursday

[vocal shard]

[craggy trellis]

[vernal forum]

As the kids say, this is a very pog moment in time

[vocal shard]

Paint tool sai?

[jovial pulsar]

Sorry guys but u have to buy vrc+ to play the game with us from now on, come on, open your wallets!

[elfin matrix]

doesn't matter when you do it if somebody is ddosing you due to being salty over an update

[terse rampart]

[amber juniper]

I know... but it happend a lot in the past that they pushed updates on a friday ;)

[gritty arch]

[glossy wharf]

yeah but its thursday so it makes no sense

[amber juniper]

kinda hard to DDoS AWS

[vocal shard]

Maybe yall should buy + and see if it helps

[terse rampart]

i will buy +

[jovial pulsar]

Ye, get vrc+ to login rn

[cold talon]

updates are for Mondays

[modern fossil]

This is great...

[vocal shard]

Spark doing gods work but being buried beneath the tons of "servers dead" spam in a second again

[vocal shard]

this is the subscription you guys paid for remember lmao

[elfin matrix]

haven't had any issues besides the current server ones which is probably unrelated to the update itself

[vocal shard]

Now pin it lol

[glossy wharf]

Take a shot everytime a wannabe dev says vrchat + broke the servers

[golden scaffold]

We posted an Announcement. 🙂

[vocal shard]

basically discord nitro yeh

[vocal shard]

You the best

[north willow]

Was this caused by the riots in the black cat public instances

[meager plaza]

i hate the new nameplates sooo much

[vocal shard]

nvrm lol well i can load the menu now but cant click add funds

[tame wasp]

even though it was posted, some people will choose not to read and continue to complain rip\

[glossy wharf]

first time here?

[robust cobalt]

Welcome ;)

[languid beacon]

You can make them transparent like the old ones or change the size, check settings

[tame wasp]

im not. and no need to ping me. i can read the chat thank you

[meager plaza]

really? i checked settings

[vocal shard]

we did it guys we made it we managed to kill vrchat....

[glossy wharf]

sorry what

[golden scaffold]

thanks for your patience and understanding! We've got the team tackling the server issues.

[tame wasp]

stop pinging me please

[vocal shard]

I for one, welcome our new name plate gods

[languid beacon]

You can’t bring back the old outlines but you can increase transparency

[robust cobalt]

Sorry :(

[glossy wharf]

i cant read what did you say

[tame wasp]

yeah i'll just block

[languid beacon]

Personally I love the new design, old ones were bulky

[meager plaza]

they had their charm

[glossy wharf]

discord trust rank down

[pallid vapor]

The nameplate settings are in the action menu's config, or select settings from the ui elements menu

[north willow]

Can you allocate some of the team to stay here and argue with me over VRChat patreon

[vocal shard]

Your messages aren't coming in, what was that?

[vocal shard]

my bad

[tame wasp]

anyway, all we can do is wait

[glossy wharf]

I love you guys

[limber jungle]

does anybody wants to play vrchat whit me

[languid beacon]

Yes

[vocal shard]

we can try to find the dragon balls to make them fix it faster

who wants nitro i mean vrc+

[limber jungle]

(._.)

[vocal shard]

I just played, it crashed and now I can't log in anymore

@vocal shard is gonna be our vrc+ daddy

[tame wasp]

i see the word blocked message, but the pinging doesnt work on my end anymore, so they just look like jackasses right now 😂

[clever sandal]

I often see tutorials "How to make Custom avatar" that start with i need to download an avatar or make one in an app that make anime figures, then use a scripts for blender, after that use an Adobe service to rig, than use Unity to clean up the avatar. But how much of that can be done in blender without need of other apps and 3rd party Blender scripts if I already have a mesh in a T-pose? Any good tutorial that can be recommended.

[languid beacon]

I hope you aren’t pinging spark every time you quote him lol

[vocal shard]

[tame wasp]

they are

[glossy wharf]

Yeah no im making sure to ping him every time

[golden scaffold]

You're fine, no sweat. Thanks!

[glossy wharf]

I know, im turning the ping off dw

[elfin matrix]

why would he even have ping on?

[jaunty needle]

i assume other people are having trouble loading custom avatars in vrc ?

[glossy wharf]

.

[terse eagle]

Where is this early supporter badge displayed? I don't even see it anywhere

[vocal shard]

no, most people are having trouble logging in

[vocal shard]

You can make the avi mesh and bones in blender but use CATS plug-in to save you SOOOO much work and then you finish up in unity

we built these servers ' we built these servers of shit and stuff

Then please stay the fuck away from my dms lmao

[jovial kestrel]

[vocal shard]

pedo~

[jovial kestrel]

Keep it appropriate.

[vocal shard]

My b, won't happen again

why don't you block DMs from random people if it bothers you so much ?

[clever sandal]

@vocal shard The thing is that I want to do it without scripts and so to get an understanding how it work, and scripts and sites to do things are just the lazy way that and you do not actually learn. This is to learn, later on I will cheat .-D

[vocal shard]

I have no idea how to do that... I'm a discord boomer

[terse eagle]

its a toggle in privacy

[vocal shard]

@clever sandal tools for jobs don't make you lazy

[vocal shard]

settings > user settings > privacy & safety

[white latch]

I feel like whenever I open this channel its like that one gif of the dude bringing pizza into the room thats on fire

[vocal shard]

Thank!

[clever sandal]

What is a "boomer", it looks like folk use that differently all the time, I am old and think I am a super boomer, but other use it like I am a bummer.

[tribal gust]

How long will VRChat+ take effect after you bought it?

[white latch]

tools to improve your work efficiency isn't "cheating" tbh

[vocal shard]

Asap to my understanding

[vocal shard]

or you can also right click on the server icon on the left and uncheck the box in privacy setting

[golden scaffold]

Should be quite immediate but you might experience some delays with current server issues. It'll populate onto your account as soon as possible though.

[vocal shard]

instant for me.. gues i got lucky

You can literally make everything about your avi down to a single vertex and you can hand make each viseme but cats is a compiler that will make sure your avi is polished pretty and prim

[waxen harness]

VRC+ is insant

[clever sandal]

I used cheating in a funny way, all know that use scripts and tools are to help.... unless you play games and use aim bots.

[crude halo]

How long until the servers are back up?

[vocal shard]

same instant for me when i bought it Owo

Helps combining texture atlas', configuration of bones, setting up visemes, its great!

[languid beacon]

It was instant for me as soon as I got an email from Valve saying payment processed, however I did need to exit out of the game and re-launch it before the menus updated to include VRC+ stuff

[golden scaffold]

They should be starting to come back up. Feel free to try signing in but expect some hiccups here and there. We're keeping a close eye.

[waxen harness]

Did any new user buy VRC+ and get known user after buying it?

[marsh stump]

Just tested it, I am able to join and avavars are loading/saving as they should

[languid beacon]

There are reports of going blue to orange, yes

[waxen harness]

okay just making sure my friend wasn't the only one

[vocal shard]

Dad said its my turn on the server

[waxen harness]

ez two ranks for $10 i like it

[marsh stump]

I was user before and went to known user after buying it, however jumping right from new user to known user is a little much

[vast tulip]

If you went to learn how to do all of this "the usual non vrc way" search how to make a 3D model instead, such as "3D character modeling guide"

[vocal shard]

yeah that's definitely getting "fixed"

[vocal shard]

a friend of mine got from known user to trusted user after buying it

[jovial kestrel]

From completely, unironically legit and proven sources

[waxen harness]

my friend went from new user to known

[vocal shard]

I went from grey to purple i swear

grey to yellow

🥺🥺🥺

[languid beacon]

That’s why I said report! I don’t believe it either lol

[vocal shard]

i went from purp to purp caus i was always purp

Dank

[jovial kestrel]

This is that thing about using sarcasm in text. I meant to just add-on to your statement, not doubt what you said.

[waxen harness]

u went from grey rank to known???

[vocal shard]

i went from purple to legendary user Owo

Okay I know everyone is saying get rid of ranks, but what if 30 new ranks...

from grey to friend

and from yellow back to grey

[waxen harness]

oh u wanna be my friend okay

[vocal shard]

clicking the link to buy the subscription in vrchat does nothing for me

Click harder

you are forced to be my friend so I'm not alone anymore
you don't have a choice.

[waxen harness]

im down

[vocal shard]

nvm, i know what it is

🚑

[languid beacon]

Try a different world. Some worlds mess up the menu buttons

[vocal shard]

nah I deleted a file and that's why

[glacial hornet]

i lost about 15 fps and mirrors are a no no now, am i the only one ?

[vocal shard]

yes

[white bobcat]

I haven't noticed any performance difference with mirrors.

[glacial hornet]

hmmm

maybe it's cuz of a world update :/

[vast tulip]

Might be cliche but restart your computer. You might be having a vram issue with steam vr. That's the best way to tell if restarting fixes it

Or try a different world yeah

[glacial hornet]

alright

[cyan jackal]

I can’t get in still

[jovial kestrel]

Just give it some time. It's recovering, may not be at full speed yet.

[uncut totem]

i just simped for vrchat

this is epic

[craggy trellis]

[cold flicker]

vrchat knows about the issuie

[stark forge]

lol nice

[uncut totem]

now i jsut gotta wait for the lag to stop

[vocal shard]

anyone gone from known to trust yet?

[stark forge]

oof yea

[mortal glacier]

Welp I was in a world with my friends....until I went into my own portal...and froze while I was half way in it...

[left peak]

am i the only one who cant press the button to get vrc+

[zinc shell]

I dunno if it was from the update but I got known user today

[tribal gust]

i cant login again

[left peak]

nothing happens when i press it

[vocal shard]

read the server status... it tells you theres problems atm

[slate rune]

https://prnt.sc/vvbwwr

did u get vrc+?

[zinc shell]

no

[vocal shard]

i do hope the mods are watcing the steam discussion rn.. it all goes brrrrrr

[ruby tiger]

probably worse than here

[vocal shard]

havent played in 5 months what did i miss

always is. There are so many threads about vrc+ atm

[vocal shard]

New + button going brrr

We have chips in our brains, we no longer feel pain... 🎵

[vocal shard]

Nah they didn't miss that @foggy beacon its always been there, in our hearts

[tacit plank]

Nameplates are a little cartoony but otherwise nice

[jovial kestrel]

I was replying to a message that got deleted...

[languid beacon]

I’m stuck at work. I’m curious how many in an average room appear to have plus?

[vocal shard]

At least 1 if you have it

[languid beacon]

... Thanks

[vocal shard]

Can old users see the + nameplates? I can't imagine they wouldn't

[vocal shard]

when i was on before server went down id only see another person having it so not much right now~

[ruby needle]

I think you probably wanna wait a day or two till you collect statistical data

[jovial kestrel]

The icon nameplates are visible to everyone.

[vocal shard]

Rad

[idle elm]

I'd wait until the weekend to do that sort of (unscientific) analysis

[ruby needle]

^

[idle elm]

oh jinx @ruby needle

lol

[vocal shard]

i mean i alrdy heard one tell me.. Oh its one of those paid users.... so this is gonna be a blast :p

How dare you support a game you love 🙄

[scenic cosmos]

Is there any way to hide the grayed out icon button?

[dry marsh]

we going crazy over vrc+ again?

[languid beacon]

Ez to get muted by weird snob people who get bothered by something like an icon? That’s a vrc+ perk

[idle elm]

nah, we being chill.

[viral perch]

Dumb question possibly. If someone buys VRC+, are they forced to have an icon if they dont want to shove a giant circle on people's screens? Cuz like...i dislike forcing that in people's faces. Stealth-mode plzthx lol

[fast ridge]

Hey, newbie question, is there a way to actually walk and not teleport?

[dry marsh]

maybe an option to turn it off like the safety settings have for avatars?

[languid beacon]

Yes! In settings turn off holoport

[fast ridge]

Alrighty

[vocal shard]

wellp ima go do some elite dangerous traderuns while i wait for everyone to calm down again

[jovial kestrel]

Turn off something in your settings called "Holoport"

[viral perch]

Having just been in a world of 30 people, a see of icons was a visual block enough to just disable names as a whole. The small text is great, But, not when + people are still a giant "bubble" and idk. Makes me pass for now. Will wait to see if they add a hider for it

[uncut totem]

oof i didnt get it

[tacit plank]

Aren't they smaller at a distance like most HUD things?

[dry marsh]

the biggest problem i can see is this; unlike the old nameplates, these ones are mostly solid (old ones only solid bit was the box/text).

[golden scaffold]

You can adjust opacity. 🙂

[dry marsh]

thank god

[viral perch]

Opacitiy 0% is text only

[short flower]

Hello, I was able to login, but when I logged in I cant see any of my friends in VR chat, neither Online or Offline. Do you have the same issue? (I can see them when I login to VR Chat webbiste).

[uncut totem]

alright so what should i do if i didnt get vrc+ even though i got the confirmation

[viral perch]

( but icon still visible, unfortunately, and blends in with everything I guess? so partial yay. lol

[vast tulip]

you can change the size of the plates as well

[arctic elm]

steam only rn

[viral perch]

I run "small" and id rather see a bunch of 3-letter names across the room than a bunch of giant icons...I mean, I get it, they want to advertise the F out of VRC+ and its a way to force it in your face but. Im sure an option to just hide/disable them will come. New system

[jovial kestrel]

Currently it's only through steam. Support for other stores is later.

You’ll need to upgrade your oculus account to a vrc and then you can log in on it with steam, get plus, then you can log back on oculus home and you’ll still have it

Yup yup

[slate rune]

@golden scaffold Hello !
Why you release the beta ???

[humble moth]

im surprised to come in here and not see lemons

[slate rune]

I detect the exact same problem in beta and live version !!! X.X

[ruby tiger]

surprisingly these kind of spammers are not autokicked by the bot

[ruby needle]

unless a bug is game breaking it's not essentially a hold back for the patch @slate rune

smaller bug's can stil be solved later and when a broader base of users get's hit there also is more data to find the issue

[arctic elm]

have you reported it on the canny?

[deft girder]

What problem are we talking about here?

[golden scaffold]

What issue are you experiencing?

[slate rune]

problem with favourites world and favourites friendlist : https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-feedback/p/open-betabug-social-favourites

[idle elm]

So you had some worlds and friends disappear from Favorite lists?

[slate rune]

yes (sorry), world list and friend list, if you add some favourites world in old release, there's bug in the new release (not only the "number of the world")

[idle elm]

Does the world still exist in VRChat?

If it was deleted or made private, that may remove it.

[slate rune]

and maybe "friend", sorry I write that but I don't remember, so if I writed that, it was also true

[iron rapids]

Its been 7 months since I last played vr chat

Ok

[ruby tiger]

Listen to that random guy, don't make your opinion

[arctic elm]

all they've done is add avatars 3, which I like a lot. vrc is only getting better tbh

[iron rapids]

Might play it just to spite him

Who knows

[arctic elm]

then dont pay for it lol

[jovial kestrel]

Which part of the VRC+ content isn't optional?

[languid beacon]

I’m not a fan of the default opacity, but idk how anyone can take issue with them at 0 opacity. It’s just text

I love it, clutter removed

[brave compass]

The hell did they do you the name plates??

[vocal shard]

i bought it but nothing happened 😔

[foggy beacon]

👀

[vocal shard]

keep the money vrc, you've already hurt me enough

[brave compass]

Why the heck didnt they carry over the colors for the ranks??

I thought it was cool!

[jovial kestrel]

The rank colours were hidden intentionally. You can still check ranks in the details menu.

[brave compass]

Yea but I mean its not the same

[opaque yacht]

Why i cant see which avatar make sounds?

[jovial kestrel]

It's kind of like when we got coloured nameplates to begin with, that was extremely odd.

[brave compass]

I liked when they added it

[versed oak]

@jovial kestrel But it was better with... Now it looks boring when i'm looking at peaple name

[brave compass]

Thats my exact thought. Its all grey now.

[vapid river]

The quest 2 I'm using is broken

[arctic elm]

if the nametags arent colored, there's not much point to trust ranks lol

[brave compass]

Exactly

[vapid river]

Can't play vr chat ;w;
Also has the server been more busy

Is that why the cool down is 15 second now

[pallid wharf]

jfc these nameplates are horrible lmfao

[ruby tiger]

set Opacity to 0

[brave compass]

Legit tho. im so confused to why the colors are gone.

[pallid wharf]

big yikes

[normal snow]

guys

[arctic elm]

even the text isn't colored?

[brave compass]

Yep.

[normal snow]

forget the update murder 4 is here

[brave compass]

Lol legit?

[normal snow]

lol

[vocal shard]

was there a murder 3?

[brave compass]

Yea but no one played it"

[normal snow]

yes but wass there a first one

[vocal shard]

lol

[jovial kestrel]

This is basically the first step in a much larger UI overhaul.

[tacit plank]

I got veteran (sys trust legend) like 2 years ago, what do i use the boost for?

[vocal shard]

havent played murder ina year... has anything changed or is it still the same boring crap?

[brave compass]

Oh wait really? So this is only the start?

[jovial kestrel]

Yes.

[granite crater]

People already calling me retarded for buying vrc +

[brave compass]

Lol are the colors coming back?

[normal snow]

vr simp

[vocal shard]

i mean if u buy it then u just show u have money

[idle elm]

Probably not

[brave compass]

Crap.

[tacit plank]

I liek colors, i want pink

[granite crater]

Compelling argument

[brave compass]

Well I mean if you guys are still going, im excited to see whats next

[wise patrol]

I got vrc+ so I can upset people by doing nothing at all except showing up.

[white bobcat]

Based.

[idle elm]

Those people sound very depressed.

[wise patrol]

I wouldn't even call it nitro

[versed oak]

VRC+ is good idea but we should keep the rank colour

[grand zenith]

Not to be rude or anything since I don't give a fuck about the update nor VRC+, but I do think the Dev's should probably be a little bit more clearer with their plans and ideas. People being salty and giving feedback (bad or good) really doesn't help when later down the line you here something like this.

Maybe it would be better to add that to the entire Idea when it originally came out (New Nametag design, which isn't final?) We know about the UI overhaul but i dunno some more info regarding to why its been done and whats next would be nice.

[wise patrol]

Funny that, I'm very depressed, too.

[idle elm]

That's a bummer, sorry to hear that 😦

[brave compass]

Yea Meliodas I agree

[dire thicket]

I'm trying to think right now how releasing vrc+ is meant to be appeal to anyone, in terms of marketing for new users perhaps suggesting their will be "more" content for their subscription? (excluding the old-users cough shilling it without considering negatives)

[vocal shard]

i mean it has turned into a paid game from free game so ye whats next

[ruby tiger]

it's pay to win now :)

[golden scaffold]

Nope. VRChat is still free to play as always.

[brave compass]

Bruh if VRC+ brought back name tag colors, I would buy it

[dire thicket]

I don't how i even feel now, however expected this to come out when the new ui comes about

[idle elm]

I bet they will do another engine upgrade, and add more website features for everyone to use, and improve Udon sync, and all sorts of other things!

[jovial kestrel]

I don't disagree. I'm just trying to provide what information I am able to.

[brave compass]

Sweet! Do you guys know when its suppose to release?

[wise patrol]

I do want to see where this goes though while I don't disagree with a very large amount of the problems people have with this. I've just wanted to give back for awhile because at this rate I could buy $99 several times and it'd still be my best $/hr played on my Steam account.

[grand zenith]

Yeah I don't meant it as to like like you doing something wrong. Just my opinion as to maybe it would help the situation be less a week ago if the team is slightly more transparent with some stuff.

[jovial kestrel]

Bring back the developer video updates.

[devout dock]

older vrwater shader renders through new name tags btw

[golden scaffold]

Yeah, we're aware of some stuff with some funky shader behavior.

[devout dock]

i like the new tags but the yellow text for friends is kinda painful to look at

[arctic elm]

im sad i worked so hard for my orange nametag, i was looking forward to being purple

[devout dock]

i and l letters look like barcodes cause the yellow blur

[brave compass]

It woulda been kinda cool and woulda made a bit more sense if the nametag lettering was colored with our rank color

[exotic rain]

TRUE

[brave compass]

Yea Vivi same here.

[idle elm]

[devout dock]

darker yellow with slightly more spaces between letters and the dots on i would make new tags better but besides those things the grey is ezer to took at

[ruby tiger]

Use opacity at 0%

[brave compass]

Maybe easier but now its super bland

[devout dock]

we use to only have green tags so this is basicly going bk to those times just the yellow and letter spaces is kinda bad

[vocal shard]

just upload a model..and put a giant purple nametag above your head.. there problem solved

[white bobcat]

Lol felkuro

[brave compass]

Felkuro It shouldn't have to be that way.

[vocal shard]

i might actually do that for the memes XD

[golden scaffold]

Imo, simplicity is much better for something like nameplates. Worlds are a lot prettier to look at than clunky and obstructive UI elements.

[arctic elm]

yeah but we want fancy colors. make an option to disable it then

[brave compass]

Well yea, I actually do like the new UI animations. They are very nice!

[grand zenith]

I mean. I won't take long for the Ego deprived trust users addicted to just slap a big billboard on their avatars saying that they're a trusted user 👀

[brave compass]

Yea actually, a disable option would be awesome

[golden scaffold]

Many reason why colors aren't a thing on the nameplates anymore, but that doesn't mean we can't do cool stuff with them in the future. Lots of possibilities!

[devout dock]

could you guys instead of yellow text do yellow borders for friends? like a rim of yellow instead?

[brave compass]

ahhhh. But will be be able to do these cool things without VRC+?

[white bobcat]

I like that nihil

[arctic elm]

Like what? There's not a whole lot of a reason for trust rank, and I like to be able to see about how long someone has been playing vrc without clicking details on them

[golden scaffold]

Being able to adjust the nameplates' opacity and size isn't something we're putting behind VRC+, you can do so without paying.

[brave compass]

Sweet

[jovial kestrel]

An opacity slider sounds amazing.

[golden scaffold]

agreed!

[devout dock]

adjusting the size and opacity doesnt help with the yellow text tho its still painful

[languid beacon]

It is. It’s on wheel menu. I have it at 10%

[brave compass]

Will there be more options than only options for changing the size of it?

[sly solar]

is the added trust level permanent?

[languid beacon]

Yes

[sly solar]

oh ok

[golden scaffold]

Can't really answer why we made the decision to remove trust rank from nameplates in a single message, but just know that it was a deliberate decision with a lot of thinking behind it.

[umbral reef]

Because those same mods have gotten users there account stolen?

[devout dock]

does the added trust go up to legend in the api or is it locked for trusted ?

[jovial kestrel]

Gonna be honest, I forgot to check the wheel menu for functions.

[arctic elm]

I think I can speak for a lot of the community when I say this, we would like more transparency when it comes to updates. Yeah ik there's the open beta and feedback, but we haven't heard anything as to why this decision was made, or what's changing soon™. The only reason I've heard from vrc team at this point is from you, and that was "imo, it more pretty", while the rest of chat is saying they would prefer to have trust rank displayed on the tags

[vocal shard]

new people get singled out to much based on the color... so making it harder to spot is better for everyone

[devout dock]

the new wheel resolution also breaks and turns smudged at times

[golden scaffold]

My bad! Should've mentioned this as well but I assumed you meant more of a radial menu / dial that you can adjust for opacity.

[fathom furnace]

i bought vrchat+ and nothing happened

[brave compass]

The only time ive seen anyone get singled out was due to them being rude or extremely loud

[umbral reef]

Make sure you reboot the game (might need more then one reboot) after you get the conformation mail from steam that the payment happened

[fathom furnace]

oak

[jovial kestrel]

Yeah like a radial puppet in the action menu's configuration section.

[vocal shard]

so I bought VRC+ like an hour ago and it's uhh not working. any suggestions?

contact support

[golden scaffold]

Asking for more transparency with updates is totally understandable. Please keep in mind that we get feedback about different things from our Canny, e-mails and many other mediums as well.

[idle elm]

@golden scaffold When is VRChat adding Stories?

[arctic elm]

Where should I shove my feedback for this btw? it's not really VRC+ related, and there's no new section in the canny for this release

[shy jasper]

are the current server issues also causing game crashes as well?

[golden scaffold]

[dark harness]

@idle elm VRChat has had stories ALL ALONG. everything you say in VRChat, we immediately don't store on our servers

[idle elm]

[dark harness]

WE SHIPPED NOT SAVING STUFF ON DAY ONE

[idle elm]

lol

[grim raft]

sorry what’s stories?

[brave compass]

Its a Social Media joke thing

[dark harness]

it's kind of a joke, Twitter shipped stories, which are like tweets but temporarier

[grim raft]

oh gotcha

[dark harness]

everyone's doing it

I'm pretty sure Spotify has got stories now somehow

[brave compass]

For some really YouTube has stories

[golden scaffold]

If you've got feedback regarding Trust Rank visibility, feel free to post that in Feature Requests.

[brave compass]

No one uses them tho lol

[grim raft]

unus anus was like one big story in a sense haha

[dark harness]

"finally, a way to make moderation harder!"

[brave compass]

Exactly lol

[dark harness]

when we originally shipped, our moderation tools were literally Pill running around in VR being a virtual reality cop and reporting people to me to IP block from the database/network switch level

sometimes we didn't catch people because they escaped

[ruby needle]

I wanna cry right now

[grand zenith]

Yo that job sounds fun 👀

[vocal shard]

Feels sad man

[deft girder]

That description of it sounds hilarious

[grim raft]

poor pill haha

[arctic elm]

thats where the vr pill memes came from lol

[warm mountain]

lmaooo law and order - vrc edition

[golden scaffold]

You have been found guilty.

[dark harness]

All of the people who snarked at cyberpunk stories because any competent virtual reality operator would have better tools than, like, "a VR gun that shoots bans", never thought "but what if the virtual reality operators weren't terribly competent"

[grim raft]

“i sentence you to having to be the tooth brush avatar permanently!”

[wise patrol]

VR Vice

[umbral reef]

OH! System, how much ram sticks do i have to send you for my great idea.
When its april first again, we send everyone into the old public hubs again 👀

[dark harness]

Snow Crash probably couldn't happen in a clean, well-groomed VR experience, just sayin'

[brave compass]

crap. N O O O O O

[dark harness]

😄 i already have ALL OF THE RAM STICKS I can be enticed no further

[umbral reef]

Uuuu SSD's?

[brave compass]

128gbs of ram?

[idle elm]

All the VMs you need? Surly you can make more…

[dark harness]

april fools ideas generally get shot down because with our product being the way that it is, they're essentially not distinguishable from bugs

[umbral reef]

How about you add a 'bug' like that then 👀

[dark harness]

if everybody booted into "Super Hell 2: It's Super Hell But Worse" on April 1, half of our users would just be like "huh, weird"

"guess the servers are acting up"

[arctic elm]

so what im hearing is vrchat is too buggy to add a joke bug :P

[faint skiff]

"Oh, they upgraded the default home!"

[dark harness]

exactly! 😄

[ruby needle]

How about an april fools tradiion of rolling back to the patch that was life last years january for a day.

[dark harness]

April Fools: all video players are now playing smooth jazz all day long

[brave compass]

lol I loaded into a world and thought everyone was a Visitor at first cuza the grey name tags

[north grove]

april fools sets everyones home to hub

[dark harness]

this jazz

so smooth

can't handle

[arctic elm]

id be down with it tbh

[deft girder]

Next april fools is gonna be unity upgrade to 2019 to repeat the last time

[brave compass]

chirst no

[ruby needle]

Next April fool's just randomly add a 1 octave up or down pitch to everyones voicestream.

[uncut totem]

well i made a ticket

my game crashed when i got vrc+ so i didnt receive it lol

[arctic elm]

even better april fools, fix all the bugs, then delete the patch the next day ;)

[dark harness]

I know that it's possible to add a shadow voice that follows you around and whispers "i am a pancake ghost make me some pancaaaaaakes" just near the border of audible

[noble depot]

april fools, VRchat only supports the oculus DK1

[dark harness]

ah, yes, I could just hit the "fix all of the bugs" button that I've been so jealously hoarding

[brave compass]

HAH I wanna see that happen

[umbral reef]

Il only aprove of it if its actually you doing that

[vocal shard]

cries in cv1

[dry yew]

Anyone's Avatar got some problems as well?

[ruby tiger]

"fix all of the bugs" button
aka shutdown button

[dark harness]

pull plug on servers. all bugs are fix: now, only is new bug

[crimson bridge]

Just a suggestion: Have it so that custom effects for name plates only exist in vrc+, but have a colour wheel exist for base game. That way anyone can choose a favourite colour name, but only vrc+ can do extra unique things.

[noble depot]

CV1's prob pretty decent! I'm running on an OG vive so pfft
DK1-era VR is a far cry from today's though lol

[signal sigil]

so if i hop off steam and log on my vrc acc on my occulus will the subcription still show lol

[odd blaze]

Replaced my vrchat icon with a drunk bunny holding a vodka bottle

[vocal shard]

so... what happened to space drag?

[light wedge]

i not sure that going auto pay at one ?

[hollow patio]

anyone else only seeing people stacked in the center

[languid beacon]

Snowcrash needs a movie so people can see why it’s better than ReadyPlayerOne

[dry yew]

My avatar is really broken rn, can't even do gestures

[tacit plank]

pulling the plug to fix the bugs? sounds like a buddistic approach

[odd blaze]

Did you hit the 'no gesture button'

[brave compass]

sounds solid

[gaunt cedar]

hey, does anyone cant play VRChat since the new update too? Everytime I log in with my Quest 2 (linked with PC) to VRChat it instantly freezes after ike 2-3 seconds

and the only thing I can do is to reconnect my quest 2 from PC

this issue I only have with VRChat

[dry yew]

No gestures button?

[vapid river]

I'm bouta give up on getting the quest 2 I used working cuz I need to use a shitty laptop if I wanna manually update shit on it

[odd blaze]

You can disable emotes in the wheel/setting

[dry yew]

Nope, its activated

Okay so I selected my avatar, its loaded in. But, there is a blue bar above me that says "0%". I think its not even loading

[signal sigil]

so if i hop off steam and log on my vrc acc on my occulus will the subcription still show lol

[gaunt cedar]

I thought you cant subscribe right now?

[signal sigil]

i did it already

[gaunt cedar]

how and where?

[signal sigil]

logg in vrc off of steam

[gaunt cedar]

ingame?

[signal sigil]

yes

[gaunt cedar]

ah ok

[warm osprey]

im bored and vrchat destroys my pc

[uncut totem]

bro same lol

i cant wait to replace my gpu lol

[gaunt cedar]

<-- 3080 here :>

[swift cloud]

I bought a year of vrc+, so happy!

[uncut totem]

i may get stuck with a 2070 because of scalpers. 2070 isnt bad though

[gaunt cedar]

I had before a 2060 SUPER and I was able to run VRChat and other VR Games smoothly. So a 2070 is enough, yes

[stiff plover]

what does the trust boost even do with vrc+?

[uncut totem]

6gb of graphics memory is probably the minimum when it comes to vr

[swift cloud]

its like a small boost, something like when you upload an avatar or world i think

[stiff plover]

oh, okay

[gaunt cedar]

my 2060 super had 8 gb

Not sure if you could play that good VR Games with just 6 gb

[swift cloud]

I had a 1060 6gb before and it was fine

[north grove]

will pay for vrc+ if there is an option to hide icons

[languid beacon]

You can hide your own icon

Not others unless they turn it off themselves

[gaunt cedar]

oh ok I see

[north grove]

Its why im working on something that can hide them without a modified client.
will pay for + when an official way to hide icons globally is released

[gaunt cedar]

the problem I have is not even a VR thing. VRChat freezes even if I start it in desktop mode... wtf

[golden scaffold]

Thank you so much for your support!

[signal sigil]

hey spark!

i have a question

[warm osprey]

i got windows ten im getting a alienware pc for xmas tho

[hazy gyro]

i still dont have the icon button showing for me on the website

[dark crypt]

VRC+ question. When I pay through steam, is it reoccurring, as in each month it will charge me? Or do I have to manually buy it each month?

[golden scaffold]

Heya!

[signal sigil]

If i buy the subcription and hop on my rift and launch vrc from the oculus store the subcription wont work right?

[golden scaffold]

Are you seeing other perks in-app, like the Early Supporter Badge?

[hazy gyro]

i didnt subscribe to it but i thought everyone gets the nameplate thing

[golden scaffold]

Yup, you can purchase a recurring subscription as mentioned in our FAQ (https://hello.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-faq).

[hazy gyro]

my friend can see it and he didnt buy it but i cant see it on the website

[languid beacon]

Once you have the badge you have it forever even if you unsub

[golden scaffold]

As stated in our FAQ, once you have the Early Supporter badge, it's yours to keep!

[odd blaze]

Its like a sticker you got as a kid in school (if you were one of those places)

[signal sigil]

[arctic elm]

somewhere it said "for a limited time you get a badge", which made me think it was temporary for a sec lol

[languid beacon]

Cardboard Cat avatar when?

[golden scaffold]

The improved look is available for everyone, but only VRC+ users can personalize it with an icon.

[ruby needle]

Pretty sure steam is only needed for when the payment is added and then it will be marked on the account so also usable on oculus home and quest.

At least i'd be surprised if you would actively need to play though steam all the time, doesnt make much sense.

[signal sigil]

If it is then great cause im mainly on off of the oculus store tbh

[arctic elm]

i made a canny post about the nametag trust rank colors if anyone wants it lol

[golden scaffold]

Your VRChat Plus subscription will provide benefits even if you play VRChat using another platform, such as Oculus PC or Oculus Quest. All you'll need to do is make sure that you merge your VRChat account with your Oculus and subbed Steam account.

[golden scaffold]

see: https://hello.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-faq (If I am using VRChat on a platform other than Steam, how do I get VRChat Plus?)

[languid beacon]

Typos instructing people to do the opposite of what they should, I think it’s time for me to stop

[swift cloud]

I'm honestly so excited that we finally get a way to support (: I've played wayyyy too many hours to not buy it every year, haha

[golden scaffold]

That means a lot to us, thank you!

[snow rapids]

Will there eventually be any way to return nameplates to the old look for anyone who isn’t a fan? I get the subscription thing and letting people personalize, but I very much preferred the old look.

[arctic elm]

im still gonna get it even though im angy at you for getting rid of the rank colors >:c

[ruby needle]

I dont think @snow rapids that would be a extra efford while the whole UI is getting reworked anyway

[golden scaffold]

No such plans. The new nameplates are transitionary steps towards our new UI. We're very much open to feedback though, so feel free to let us know how you think we can improve it.

[vocal shard]

Will there be a default vr+ cat avatar?

[languid beacon]

I would probably have defaulted the transparency a tad lower but at like 20 or 40% it’s way better than the old tags imho

[brave compass]

Hey Spark, Will the new UI update change everything including the current Menu?

[north grove]

are you though? there were multiple suggestions to make the nameplates and icons not look like a glued together sxhool project

[odd blaze]

Cant wait to see a world with 50+ people tomorrow, see if i can actually see names now ,since im bit taller then most avatar all used to see is nameplates, with them off i dont remember who people are

[signal sigil]

Thank you guys!

[golden scaffold]

It's totally fine if you think so, but the nameplates required a lot of work and aren't easy to implement. Still, even if you don't like it, please share your feedback and let us know.

[vocal shard]

[snow rapids]

Right, I just feel like the old style had a unique aesthetic to it that contributed to the feel of the game. Now it’s just solid grey for most everyone, with a really odd choice of font. A lot of my friends agree but if it’s the direction the devs want to take it then it’s fine

[golden scaffold]

Not sure how it'll be rolled out as we'll find out closer to it's release, but yeah, we'll update the entire UI eventually with it.

[languid beacon]

There is some slight transparency overlap between icon and nameplate other than that

[brave compass]

Sweet!

[north grove]

i wont deny a big ui change required a lot of work

[arctic elm]

Is there an ETA on the UI overhaul? or just

[golden scaffold]

[ruby needle]

Well, the first part jsut arrived.

[arctic elm]

hecc

[odd blaze]

Before dwarf fortress goes into beta

[north grove]

ui update will release after its open beta, but they decide to make a bunxh of changes when ob closes which causes a ton of additional bugs

[golden scaffold]

Didn't miss your earlier message, thank you for the support! I totally get that change can be a bit difficult but as long as you've posted in the Canny, I assure you that we'll definitely check out your thoughts.

[vocal shard]

yooo i been waiting for that for ages now

[odd blaze]

Still playing it now and them, i really want the steam tileset version tho, can actually read the world map

[brittle gust]

What day does early support bonus end?

[odd blaze]

Tried to make a world homage to it in vrchat, but im lazy 🐇

[vocal shard]

ahaha would be nice to see

[odd blaze]

Was a tileset thing you could make your own village / shrink players avatars and have someone be a giant avatar and smash you with a club

[arctic elm]

Don't get me wrong I love the new look of the nametags, they'd just look even more hot with a smol border :)

[gleaming kraken]

ughh why did they have to put the buttons there... completely destroys my memory of where the buttons are

[brave compass]

OH OH OH! And that smol border could be the color of our ranks!

[arctic elm]

lol

[brittle gust]

Anyone know?

[arctic elm]

28 days

[brave compass]

Sweeeeeet that coupled with the text being the rank color would actually look kinda sick!

[brittle gust]

Thx

[odd blaze]

🤔 rainbow text all over my face errr

[arctic elm]

honestly, I'd prefer the text just be white, and have a thin color border. colored text is kinda hard to read

[odd blaze]

Its like going back to irc days and all sort of colors in chat , sounds messy

[brave compass]

Ok yea I agree with that. too much color is overboard

[arctic elm]

But if you wanna upvote my feedback on canny about the nametag colors, go here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/bring-back-trust-rank-on-nametag

[brave compass]

yes yes

Ima do that rn

[gleaming kraken]

wait.. why did they move the creations and favorite around aswell....

[brave compass]

Yep. It sorta confused me at first

[remote rover]

Colour coding the visual speech parts of the nametag to a user's trust could be cool

[brave compass]

Oh yea! That would be pretty cool!

[arctic elm]

Yeah i like the border when people talk, if there was a small border that got fatter when they talk, that'd be perfect

[brave compass]

Rn the name tags look like they are from a game that came out 10 years go. With that weird modern/2000s mix look.

[ocean tinsel]

yeah I'm not enjoying these nameplates

[gleaming kraken]

me neither

[arctic elm]

Go upvote the canny post ^^

[brave compass]

Yes! Do that!

[ocean tinsel]

😔 where's that? may I have link

[arctic elm]

its a few messages up

[ocean tinsel]

ty!

[arctic elm]

The more people that upvote the canny, the more likely they'll see and actually change it

[brave compass]

Yea. And that would be awesome

[spiral mason]

What happens if you get VRC+ and then unsubscribe? Do the extra saved avatars go into limbo or get deleted?

[languid beacon]

Limbo

[ruby needle]

Afaik it's 4 separate rows and you loose access to the other rows

when you resub you can access them again

[languid beacon]

You keep your top set of 25

[ruby needle]

but dont quote me on it

[ocean tinsel]

I upvoted it

[vocal shard]

👁️

[arctic elm]

Thanks! Feel free to share it with friends as well

[spiral mason]

Okay cool, I just don't want useful or cool stuff deleted forever, stuff here gets hard to find

[inner cape]

👁️

[remote rover]

Colour coding names to trust rank could also work as a toggleable thing in the nameplate settings.

[arctic elm]

Yeah, I could see an option to disable color borders as an accessibility thing too, for color blind people. I've seen some posts asking for color blind options on nametag.

[ocean tinsel]

its not even the trust rank color thing for me, the nameplates before were very nice visually and it was easier to read names. at least that's what I think.

[gaunt cedar]

Guys... I need help 😭 . My Vrchat keeps freezing and crashing. My Windows and Graphic cards are up to date, I even reinstalled the Game but it still keeps freezing after I start the game

[pine coyote]

how do i email vrchat

[ruby needle]

https://help.vrchat.com/new

[brave compass]

Yea Magic I was thinking the same thing. Before they looked really modern and super cool! Now some how they look dated.

[arctic elm]

Yeah I agree. They look nice now, but something seems off about them. They look more appealing when someone is speaking and have the new "speaking border" on them

[granite crater]

Any idea when the invites with pictures will release with vRc+

[remote rover]

They do look better when the opacity is set to 0, I think.

[granite crater]

that sounds like a really fun addition

[ocean tinsel]

they should just implement the speaking border on the og nameplates

[brave compass]

Yea

[golden scaffold]

We don't currently have an announced date or ETA yet but soon!

[gaunt cedar]

Okay I'm good now. resetet my avatar to default

now it works all fine. magic

[arctic elm]

[golden scaffold]

, indeed.

[vestal thorn]

well. i pay to show my support. your welcome VRchat

[full light]

who do i go to about a glitch, i dont have vrcplus, but it shows the icon i did in vrcbeta and it says im a supporter

help me pls, im being bullied like crazy

[vestal thorn]

i think VRC+ may not be fully out

[tulip forge]

VRC+ was released today

[vestal thorn]

oh, i see 🙂

[north grove]

yeah but doesnt justify its price at all

[vestal thorn]

well, it still very new. it maybe a bug if you dont see it

[tulip forge]

@full light you can find the right channel for a given question in #faq

[full light]

thanks

[vestal thorn]

it is clear to me after pay 9.99 and dont show VRC+

[dark harness]

It's day one, things are moderately on fire

like 33% on fire

just a little bit of gentle fire

[vestal thorn]

XD i sure it be all fix.

[dark harness]

anyone who successful give us money dollar will end up with VRChat+ eventually, I GARUMTEE IT

[north grove]

On the outside it looks like everything that wasnt tested in open beta is on fire

[vestal thorn]

for now i going pay 9.99. i will pay 1yr soon or later

[swift cloud]

I think mine worked first try o:

but maybe thats cause i did 1 year? xD

[vestal thorn]

oh? LOL

[magic delta]

Hi! New to VrChat! Any tips for me?

[deft girder]

So I can mail in dollars stuffed into an envelope?

[jovial pine]

@patent rampart really sorry for the ping again but I have a question have you ever thought about adding more power ranger avatars on vrchat besides mighty morphin like wild force megaforce beast morphers lightspeed rescue mystic force and other power ranger seasons or any zord combos?

[gleaming kraken]

wish they would finally let us favorite our own private avatars already... its been sitting in the canny for two years

[winter sierra]

bought vrc+ :)

[north grove]

don't worry. in 2 more years it will be closed by tupperware

[gleaming kraken]

only solution is to just make my main avatar public and just make sure to turn cloning off everytime i take it out.. which is dumb

if i set it back to private while its favorited it just breaks..

[golden scaffold]

Thanks for your support!

[true timber]

Yeah I don't understand why we are still not allowed to favorite our own private avatars

Especially now with 100 slots

I have 300+ avatars and there is still no kind of sorting or folder system so if I want to use an older one I'm scrolling for days

[signal sigil]

Hey Spark, how do I know if the trust thing worked?

[gleaming kraken]

i have over 600 and its impossible to scroll back

[true timber]

and the scrolling breaks too so you have to keep expanding and collapsing the menu like every 50 avatars

[gleaming kraken]

mhmm

[dark harness]

The trust bonus is a small variable bonus to one of our most wildly opaque systems, so most users won't see much movement - you should get your first trust rank faster, but aside from that you'll just have to, uh, trust that it got the boost

[signal sigil]

lmao oh alright :o

i wish there was a way to see a trust progress or something

[dark harness]

Enh, we didn't want trust to be a real social "leveling" system with big bugles when you gain a level

[signal sigil]

Makes sense :o

[craggy trellis]

I want a vrpill badge instead

[dark harness]

The point of trust was almost entirely to prevent crashers from getting banned and coming back with new crashers on a new account 2 minutes later, everything else on top of that is just gravy

[craggy trellis]

[timid trench]

That makes sense

[signal sigil]

So how do i see the badges etc and like my icon on my own?

[golden scaffold]

It's on the top-right of your profile details in VRChat.

[paper kite]

I'm a little confused about something and I can't find a clear answer. VRC+ is currently only on Steam, but Avatar and World uploads are only possible with a VRC Website account... So are the two incompatible for now? I'd like to support the devs, but I also want to be able to upload my own content.

[golden scaffold]

You should see little VRCat there if you've subbed.

[ocean tinsel]

@brave compass feel free to upvote this post I made 🍃
https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-feedback/p/return-to-the-original-nameplates

[dark harness]

@paper kite - you can log in from Steam to a VRC Website account

[ocean tinsel]

since it seems you feel the same way about it

[brave compass]

heck yteah

[dark harness]

alternatively, you can merge your Steam acct into a Website acct

[paper kite]

Oh! That's how I already do it.

[deft girder]

Wait, the original original nameplates? I'm not so sure if anyone would want that 😛

[ocean tinsel]

oh no, previous nameplates

[violet orchid]

i just bought the vrchat plus and i was wondering if that would rank me up?

[dark harness]

It can but it won't always

I would actually like to have an option for the previous previous nameplates no joke

[ocean tinsel]

I have now clarified on the post that it is previous nameplates, not og og 😅

[bitter bone]

"Unusual Client Behavior" what a great idea guys

[ruby needle]

that can happen if you have a connection dropout.

Nothing to worry about if it was just that.

[bitter bone]

.> badly labeled, but that makes more sense

[quiet orchid]

Bro vrchat kinda sus bro, these name plats are gross

[dark harness]

old nameplates were heckin' chonkers

new sleekboi

[full linden]

I have mixed feelings on the old nameplates tbh

[quiet orchid]

they looked better than this to me atleast

[arctic elm]

skinny is out, t h i c c is in

[quiet orchid]

ya and i dont like seeing someones avatar stats every time i do it

[vocal shard]

how about no colored nameplates

Hello is this the place where I can report stuff

[arctic elm]

upvote to get colors back on nametag: https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/bring-back-trust-rank-on-nametag

[vocal shard]

is there anyone who has avatars of Felix Argyle from Re: Zero? If so then dm me

I'm new here

removes people juding based on your playtime and trust level, so removing colored nameplates is a good thing

[ocean tinsel]

or if you dislike the new nameplates overall, upvote this 👍 https://feedback.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-feedback/p/return-to-the-previous-nameplates

[arctic elm]

blocks visitors on safety settings anyway

[full linden]

give me customizable nameplate colors

[vocal shard]

Hello?

I dont block peoples avatars lol

[arctic elm]

you're a brave soul

[vocal shard]

Anybody want to do a high school RP if so DM me

i have everything else blocked like shaders and stuff

[ruby needle]

While everyone is free to upvote and voice their request, this is the first step to the new UI and the old plates will not match with that and not come back.
However, that does not mean paltes wont eventually be changed in the future.

[quiet orchid]

Ya we alrady block visitors and some new users

[atomic yarrow]

I don't care much for colors past grey. Don't really care for creating a class system of pride in that, but enough to say "Hey, this person has a very new account and might be a ban dodger/troll"

[vocal shard]

you say that but your subconcious is already telling you orange/purple=good and blue/white=bad

[quiet orchid]

just make it so we can toggle it back, and dont destroy the game when you "fix" it

[vocal shard]

seen it happen to myself, so that stuff needs to go

[atomic yarrow]

I don't look at any blues as bad unless they do something bad

[white latch]

Gray cool

[atomic yarrow]

In fact, the idea that you admit to that is exactly why it should be removed

[true plover]

Just a quick question. Where can I upload my custom icon on the VRchat website?

[dark harness]

GOOD GUY VRCHAT: SMASH THE CLASS HEIRARCHY / BAD GUY VRCHAT: INTRODUCE A NEW CLASS HEIRARCHY IMMEDIATELY

[vocal shard]

and in turn also tune out the 5% of the visitors who do want to make freidns and could potentially in the future pay for vrc+

introducing classism was already bad no matter how you look at it

[arctic elm]

delete the safety system then lmao

[white latch]

Honestly though, the original nameplates were a complete eyesore, at least for me. They always felt so big and clunky, easy to get confused in large crowds. This plus the option to change the size and opacity is perfect.

[quiet orchid]

I dont think that really its just that visitors and new users are usually toxic, ive met alot of chill ones but they are mostly toxic kids

[dark harness]

vrchat.com/home/icons

[golden scaffold]

The icons page on the sidebar.

[dark harness]

if you're not seeing it you might need to give the page a good hard ctrl-f5

[vocal shard]

when are we going to have a companion app on our phones and tablets so we cna like join worlds and invite friends and stuff without having to open the ingame menu

[dark harness]

the VRChat Website is a perfectly good companion app, if you ignore the fact that it doesn't all fit on the phone at once and is currently broken

[arctic elm]

but, why

[white latch]

I'd kill for a companion app, the mobile website makes me suffer

[ocean tinsel]

i am all for improvement but i am also for aesthetics, and the new nameplates so far cannot compete with the previous ones. they just simply don't look good in comparison. especially with the fact that i have to pay to have an icon next to it.

[arctic elm]

how would you use a companion app while in vr tho

[vocal shard]

you can use ur phone while in vr too you know

[white latch]

lift up your headset

[atomic yarrow]

You don't need constant reminders of how much time you put into the game on a tiered system to do this.

[dark harness]

I've taped my phone up inside my VR headset

[arctic elm]

trust rank boost is a paid feature now. then they remove the most prominent part of it

[idle elm]

my iPhone SE (2017) cries when I try to load /home/ on it

[white latch]

wha

[lucid vessel]

Classism has been around since VRC allowed PC compatibility

[arctic elm]

and now they're going ewww you dont have vrc+

[dark harness]

@idle elm even if we were to release a companion app, I bet dollars to donuts that it'd be PhoneGap and it would be exactly as trashy to your poor phone's CPU and RAM

[lucid vessel]

basically, the only thing that has changed is there is now 4 class divides

[dark harness]

we really don't have the resources for native app development, even react native

maybe react native

[atomic yarrow]

But that's just gross people. Gross people exist, what we don't need is gross systems that encourage gross people to be worse needlessly

[idle elm]

Just slather it in Electron!

[vocal shard]

what if you just like copy the html and paste it so i dont have to see the ugly address bar and stuff and have something that feels like im in the vrchat system

[arctic elm]

welcome to vrchat

[white latch]

The real question is, why would you ever want to hang out with people who are gonna act classist in a game.

[dark harness]

Does electron work in mobile? I figured that it was Electron for full windows apps and PhoneGap/Cordova for phones

[vocal shard]

mobile apps are really just a ui package you know

[lucid vessel]

who knows?

[white latch]

[atomic yarrow]

Also I've only been on VRChat for 4 months now and I've yet to notice anyone seriously descriminating what you use. Not to say it doesn't exist, but it's much rarer than people going "Ew, blue names" to people who have been on the game 30+ hours.

[lucid vessel]

That isn't how it works chief

[arctic elm]

i dont, i stopped talking to people that did that. i just want my pretty nametag because they look gross now and having a rank is nice

[dark harness]

I got the website packaged into an Electron app, we were going to release it as a standalone wrapper for the VRChat main application so that we could do better crash detection and do away with that heinous window that prompts you to install weird stuff when you quit VRChat

[idle elm]

Oh I guess you do need more than just Electron for iOS etc. People always sum it up as just Electron in the press.

[dark harness]

but then I handed that project to a junior dev and got dragged on to something else, and it withered and died 2 years ago

[white latch]

Tbh same. I've only seen like one person in my 900 hours of playtime go like "ewe you don't have vr haha"
All the other times it's been a joke

[idle elm]

aww.

[dark harness]

I think if we tried to resurrect it we'd be essentially starting from scratch 😛

I think if we just pooped the instance browser / friends list into a companion app it'd be pretty compelling

[idle elm]

It seems like it would be nifty. Stuff akin to the icon uploads would be nice there.

[bitter bone]

Time to try my avatar in VR 😬

[arctic elm]

ill build an app for vrc but its just gonna be the logo because idk how to make an app

[dark harness]

Oh, yeah, we've also talked about just publishing API docs and getting a partner stack in place

Figure our users would figure it out in a few weeks

[idle elm]

Everything is UGC™

[dark harness]

We'd need revocable API Keys like other companies with partner stacks (twitter, before they stopped) do, and until we have that it's essentially impossible to discern people scraping our APIs from villains

Twitter gave up on the open API model, as have a lot of modern companies, because it runs counter to their advertising model

[white latch]

I love hearing all this because it's like all alien talk to me, I understand bits and pieces but just spooked

[dark harness]

but we don't have an advertising driven model, we have a user driven model, so we could get away with it wooooot

[idle elm]

3rd party Twitter clients for life! (or until the API is shut down)

I can't stand the official apps

[dark harness]

Yeah, I've been using Flamingo for twitter forever but I know its days are numbers

and my heart goes out to its poor dev

[idle elm]

Twitter set such a great example early on. Then soured.

[arctic elm]

how 2 monetize vrc: put in real life ads like R6 vegas 2 or whatever game it was that tried that ;)

[white latch]

Partially offline loading screen except now it has tons of advertisements along with videos that auto play with sound

[vocal shard]

How would I report a player/report a lot of players, with proof of course.

[swift cloud]

360 degree advertisement videos

[sly veldt]

[e-mail]

[vocal shard]

thanks

[ruby needle]

https://help.vrchat.com/new actually

@vocal shard it's also not complete in goodies yet, so some more things will be added.

[dark harness]

(So are we)

[sly veldt]

@vocal shard Lot of pieces of the UFO had to be sold off to pay for things. How you think they came up with the iPhone?

[dark harness]

oh, I know the answer to this one! "anime catgirls uWu"!

[white latch]

cleARLY the ancient Egyptians came up with the iPhone

[silver helm]

whats quickmenu info option do?

[sly veldt]

Being all virtual remote company is also good. No big office to pay for.

[arctic elm]

shout out to star citizen

[white latch]

Y'all had it figured out before the pandemic

[sly veldt]

@silver helm when you open and close the QM you can choose to have it show more info or leave things as you have set

[dark harness]

It's true. Once we clear "pay for the servers" and "pay to feed System's cat" (only the finest raw diet) we're golden

[white latch]

I demand pictures of cat

[dark harness]

We'd be astonishingly low overhead if bandwidth weren't a thing

[tulip forge]

you can see it if you subscribe to VRC+ - it's in the top-right

[white latch]

👀

[sly veldt]

Don't we have the VRCat emojii yet?

[dark harness]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EnPH0F_VkAYO1wo?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
^
the real life VRCat, smuggin' it up

[vestal thorn]

Well, even if user don't pay for it. I think they getting a better deal. 👍

[tulip forge]

aww cuter than the animated one

[white latch]

Oh my god I love cat

[vestal thorn]

Omg, I love Tiger 🐯 and cat 😺 LoL

[sly veldt]

lol

[arctic elm]

a bunch of my friends already got vrc+. i just wish it was $5/m or tiered I'd be much more likely to keep it. gotta love being a student

[white latch]

What sucks is that it's going through steam which means steam is taking 30%

[arctic elm]

I really wanna support vrc, but $10 is a bit much for me rn unfortunately

[uncut totem]

still no plus

bro why did vrchat crash when i bought it

[vestal thorn]

System maybe little slow. Give it time

[uncut totem]

i bought it like 5 hours ago

[dark harness]

HEY!

[arctic elm]

lmao

[dark harness]

I'm not slow, I'm special

[uncut totem]

it crashed so thats why it didnt work

[vestal thorn]

It maybe backend probably. It will fix it self

[white latch]

how's the grill next to your bed system

[vestal thorn]

Lol. Special it is.

[dark harness]

I stepped in it and lightly roasted my foot!

It was a whole episode

[drifting prism]

[white latch]

I call dibs on roasted system sauté

[vestal thorn]

Lol

[dark harness]

my number two came to drive me to work and then crashed his car, he had a concussion and needed to go to the hospital

I had some pudding with tylenol in it

[white latch]

Sounds yummy

[vestal thorn]

I hope you didn't think I talking about user system. I was talking about vrchat system...😂

[white latch]

System is everything

[vestal thorn]

Yes he is...

[dark harness]

(I know, but I'm responsible for that toooooo :P)
Anyways, there's a bug right now where some automatic security code I wrote (yaaaay) is looking at VRC+ accounts where the payment skipped a step and saying "that's not right" and 500-ing and those users are getting NO BENEFITS

[uncut totem]

are you supposed to make a ticket if something went wrong?

[dark harness]

... and so I have a patch that's in the process of getting rolled out that tells that security system to COOL IT

[jaunty flax]

Hey guys, I would like to pay someone in order to do an avatar for me, with faces expression and maybe one item

I have no idea how many $ it will cost, do you have an estimation?
( I have no idea if this is legal btw, sorry if its not 0o)

[dark harness]

because, as it turns out, sometimes we ask steam the status of your transaction at the wrong time and it moves on without us seeing every step, but the transaction is no less valid, certainly nothing to have a security system to throw a fit over

[jaunty flax]

I can go to 80$, idk?

[swift cloud]

@jaunty flax people in the VRCTraders discord tend to charge 50$-150$ for a frankenstein

[uncut totem]

people ask alot for custom avatars

[jaunty flax]

LFMAO 0O

[dark harness]

(It's perfectly legal to commission avatars but they will run you hundreds and hundreds of dollars for custom jobs, although for $80 you could probably get something slapped together out of prefabs)

[vestal thorn]

I love see how vrchat + play out within 1month. I sure it will go well soon it is working..

[arctic elm]

yeah commissioning an avatar is rightfully expensive

[jaunty flax]

(Ok so I need to go for like 200$)

[uncut totem]

might as well just learn how to 3d model with how expensive they are

[vestal thorn]

$200???

[jaunty flax]

Thanks for your answers !
(but is it hard to make it by myself?)

[white latch]

Damn really?

[jaunty flax]

lfmao wat

[swift cloud]

@jaunty flax I recommend going to booth.pm if you want something premade for like 20-40$ usually high af quality

[white latch]

I'm really underselling myself on that case.

[arctic elm]

its not really hard to make an avatar, just a learning curve

[verbal meteor]

Vroid is a pretty good starting point if you want a unique for you avatar. Otherwise things like booth ain't bad.

[idle elm]

It's real work to put together a reasonable looking avatar that also functions nice.

[uncut totem]

booth is really good

[white latch]

Can vouch

[torpid mason]

how the fuck do i get vrchat plus

[jaunty flax]

Even for a quest user ? O:

[torpid mason]

steamvr overlay doesnt load paypal

[swift cloud]

@jaunty flax yeah! there are specialty quest avatars there

[white latch]

^

[jaunty flax]

(Btw, System, the question has been probably ask 10000 times to you but, have you any plan to optimise quest 2 users?o:)

[swift cloud]

usually even cheaper

[vestal thorn]

Give them time system is special 😂

[dark harness]

Fully custom stuff like that takes days of professional artist time - I watched one of my favorite artist post about his avatar every day after work for like 2 weeks, which makes me think it would've cleared at 30 hours - if users aren't short-selling themselves you're looking at like 30*$50 = $1500 for a high-end custom boi,

[jaunty flax]

Teach me, its in japanse :c

[jaunty flax]

What 0o, my heart

[uncut totem]

if there isnt already, put a /en at the end of booth.pm

[verbal meteor]

use google's auto translate, it helps navigate booth a lot. :p assuming you're on chrome*

[dark harness]

Here I'm talking a gorgeous custom job - optimized to the nines, loads of interactivity

[swift cloud]

@jaunty flax yep theres an english version

[dark harness]

it was a stunning avatar, but, like, woogh

[white latch]

holy shit, i'm definitely underselling compared to other people lol

[dark harness]

The effort

[uncut totem]

i think making an account also can make it english

[arctic elm]

i will make you an avatar for $1. but its just gonna be a sphere with a fur shader on it

[pliant harness]

just buy a booth avatar 😛

[sly veldt]

I've been wearing the same $1.75 alien avatar since 2017

[white latch]

i will make an avatar for 0.50$ thats a single vert that glows red

[uncut totem]

epic

[silver helm]

i can make an empty game object as an avatar for 0.00$

[uncut totem]

rtx on default cube for 300 dollars

[ruby needle]

0.25$ and you make it RGB.

Take it or leave it

[white latch]

deal, wait

[ruby needle]

Aw damn, i lost my pen, can't sign the contract.

Sorry.

😦

[white latch]

im actually gonna do that now, an avatar thats just a single floating vert lmao

[ruby needle]

[dark harness]

(also: yeah, a lot of our users aren't charging enough for their work, IMO)

[gleaming kraken]

you cant even see a vert in game xD

[ruby needle]

I think you need at least one tri

[dark harness]

(any time you have a queue of work it means you aren't charging enough)

[white latch]

i mixed up tris with verts fuck

[gleaming kraken]

lol

[arctic elm]

i did the math on this furry artist, he works 12 hours a month and makes $120k/y

[vestal thorn]

LoL 😂. I give you my pen but it been missing for some time. I think a tiger ate that pen

[swift cloud]

$60 for reversed normals

[gleaming kraken]

god i hate that so much... just flip your damn normals. i have shaders off for a reason and im tired of looking at demon spawns.

[swift cloud]

amen

[silver helm]

thats small numbers compared to others furry artists. there even some ones that charge 8k+ per work... that is less that 15 hours in total. so make the math's

[swift cloud]

I buy all my assets (': no I do not have any money left

[arctic elm]

most ive seen was like $3-5k for one comm

[vestal thorn]

This is why I don't try protect my Avatar.

[north grove]

I dont think tda can be resold so thats a large part of commissions

[dark harness]

I was so happy when furries showed up in the VRChat community. You can build a community with anime girls, but you can keep a community ALIVE with furries. Furry commissions can keep an artist afloat.

[swift cloud]

also... if you use a furry avatar you can get rid of the rude people immediately

[vestal thorn]

Plus, it more fun to share and let chaos happened. Lol

[dark harness]

Furries make my wallet-sona happy

[silver helm]

even non furrys artists make furry art to make a bank xd

[white latch]

furries are honest to god amazing when it comes to creation

[arctic elm]

the furries are here rubs hands together hehe monie

[vestal thorn]

Purrrr

[arctic elm]

whos that one guy thats spent like hundreds of thousands on hyper macro fox x falco art, hes a heart surgeon or something

[silver helm]

also have infinite wallets. nobody know how they can buy so many unnecessary expensive stuffs.
