[robust thunder]

[vocal shard]

I haven't played in forever

[robust thunder]

Did you wanna play with me?

[vocal shard]

Can't

I need a new psu for my pc+quests are being snagged left and right just like when the quest 1 came out

[robust thunder]

I didn't specify you had to play with me in vr😏

[vocal shard]

[cosmic shale]

It’s not a matter of liking it
I can like ride to hell retribution, and it still wouldn’t make it not hot garbage, objectively so

[vocal shard]

nahhh this new fnaf game release is getting tons of hype

[cosmic shale]

Just like many underdeveloped children like fnaf, that doesn’t bring it up from its constant state of being a mistake

And nothing really will, or ever could, because everything that makes it what it is, also is all part of what makes it bad

[gray burrow]

fnaf has good lore

[cosmic shale]

Man kills children, and now is in hell where he is tormented
Does that sound like good lore to you?

[gray burrow]

ye

[vocal shard]

he isn't in hell lul

[cosmic shale]

That sounds like a you problem

[gray burrow]

probs

[vocal shard]

Also that wasn't all the lore

[cosmic shale]

That is the lore at its baseline

[gray burrow]

gametheory goes in depth about it, its fun to watch

[vocal shard]

There's alot more then that

[cosmic shale]

Even if the lore was in any way interesting, it would be accompanying a still bad game, nothing really changes as a result of that

You could change as many of the bad parts as you like, but you’d only have a good game once every single aspect of what it used to be is gone

It would just be a different game

[rancid jewel]

omg i remember game theory

[cosmic shale]

One of the 5 humans on planet earth who still do

[rancid jewel]

lol

[robust thunder]

bad = dislike

Thats how my lil brain works

[rancid jewel]

fnaf had a pretty simple story until funny scott man made it overly complicated over multiple games

[cosmic shale]

I mean, technically it should go hand in hand, right?
A bad thing is naturally disliked as a result of it being that

[rancid jewel]

like holy hell how did it get this complicated

[cosmic shale]

But I mention it’s bad wether liked or not because somehow people who aren’t underdeveloped manage to like it, which really is an impossibility come true

[robust thunder]

But you said it was bad so doesn't that mean you dislike it then?

[cosmic shale]

Because of it being bad, yeah, I never said I didn’t dislike it

[vocal shard]

The new fnaf game is probably gonna be a flop like cyberpunk cause it's always the overly hyped games tend to flop

I guess that's true

[cosmic shale]

It will but not for the reason you’re thinking

[robust thunder]

Ummm, you just said you liked it and disliked it in the same sentence

[cosmic shale]

“I never said I didn’t dislike it”
Because I do dislike it
You may’ve misread that

[robust thunder]

I'm so confused

Double negatives hurt my brain

[cosmic shale]

Also god, hell no, I’d never even begin to imply I’m okay with something so terrible existing

[vocal shard]

Anybody wanna join my server Im lonely

😢

No self promotion. Even if it's not considered self promo through your eyes, It is to the rules.

Ugh

[rancid jewel]

pog

[vocal shard]

I can in a few hours. Sadly at work at the moment 😩

Oh cool

Ill dm the link for later

You can possibly get kicked for this. beware

[craggy dune]

So my friend opened vrchat got and put into a world that says "Public World Ban" he's not able to join any public world's,, despite not doing anything

Anyone else get this?

[waxen meadow]

that world probably explains itself

[craggy dune]

Ye, but he didn't even do anything is the problem

[waxen meadow]

ehmm..

[craggy dune]

He posted an avatar world for his avatars, and then boom got pushed into that world

[waxen meadow]

#vrchat-support

[craggy dune]

I'll ask

It's very weird tbh, like just seems out of the blue

[waxen meadow]

huh

on another topic, is there any way to avoid quest people (asking because most of that platform is made up of children)

[vocal shard]

Go to pc only worlds

[craggy dune]

That too

[vocal shard]

Ones that don't have a quest compatible icon. @waxen meadow

[waxen meadow]

i guess

[craggy dune]

Im a quest user tho unfortunately, ain't got money for a new pc or a link

One day I'll upgrade from quest child to beeg boi pc

[waxen meadow]

will they ever do something about children on vrchat? i’ve had a lot of them go up to me and legitimately state that they’re 11

[craggy dune]

Unfortunately there's nothing that they could technically do besides report them, but otherwise it's hard to filter kids out

[vocal shard]

They can't ban people without evidence. Only the community can solve this problem -_-

[waxen meadow]

i have .. evidence

a lot of it.

[half scarab]

Hello there! I'm new, and on quest. Been wandering around several areas and have similar questions. Trying to find great servers to make friends at (still on visitor status....just figured out how to unmute my microphone.....had the quest muted, not the app).

[vocal shard]

#vrchat-support

nvm wrong one

[robust thunder]

Then ban them

[vocal shard]

Try reporting them along with as much evidence as you can in #moderation-reports

A video will do the trick

[waxen meadow]

got it

[spice walrus]

@vocal shard i will

Im on quest is that ok

[rain hedge]

Um hello, do you know which channel is best for avatar help?

[noble depot]

@rain hedge Try #avatars-2-general for SDK2, or #avatar-help for SDK3 c:
If you need help making the model for an avatar, check out #3d-modeling

[rain hedge]

Thank you

[noble depot]

yw! c:

[plain grotto]

Why’s this infinite loading thing still a thing

[noble depot]

You could try manually clearing your cache? o:

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions#manual-method
and no, that's very against TOS

[plain grotto]

Too bad it’s helping the game

Saves you from restarting

[robust thunder]

Clearing your cache doesn't restart anything

[plain grotto]

Also developers of the most used client are literally in this discord

[cold talon]

[vocal shard]

you don't need to restart your game to clear the cache, there is a button directly in game

proof once again that modded client users are just smooth brained and got no clue what they are talking about

[robust thunder]

Aren't you one of the smooth brains?

[cold talon]

oof got em

[robust thunder]

K O

[vocal shard]

dunno what I did to you to get those comments from you but ok

[cold talon]

but wait does that mean..

[robust thunder]

I was only kidding don't hate me Svel

[cold talon]

too late

[vocal shard]

^

[robust thunder]

[umbral reef]

Onto the 'no getting svel foods' list ya go

[vocal shard]

Anyone have fun worlds to go to in quest ?

[eternal breach]

Ayyy! Im getting the oculus link cord sometime soon :)

[robust thunder]

Woop Woop🎉 🎉

[rancid jewel]

nice

[ruby burrow]

Not defending clients here, but you mean the clear cache button that then shows a prompt informing that you must restart the game before it will take effect?

[robust thunder]

I think by "restart" Svel meant wipe your profile so you lose favorites, VRChat+ and whatever else

[languid beacon]

Profile clearing does not clear VRC+ unless I’m misunderstanding

Does not remove favorited avatars either, those are stored on your account.

[ruby burrow]

The need to restart was added to the game when the ability to relocate your cache was added. Is obvious enough that it was done for a reason related to ensuring that works correctly. Also perhaps to help curb the odd player mentality that clearing cache every time anything remotely unexpected happened was some kind of solution to things.

Was just a superstitious waste of bandwidth in most cases I saw people recommend it.

"This MMD world isn't working with my avatar." > "Have you tried clearing cache?"

[robust thunder]

Ok, what I meant is like Svel didn't mean deleting your profile and starting a new one

[languid beacon]

Clear cache and relog is the internet version if unplugging it and plugging it back in

[robust thunder]

True true

[ruby burrow]

Chances are that the clients that bypass the need to restart are actually breaking things in subtle ways for people who have moved their cache directory. Which just leads to further complaints against the devs.

[indigo fern]

do you even need to restart your game, rejoining world wouldnt be enough?

[ruby burrow]

The prompt tells you to restart.

It's been a thing ever since cache location became an option.

[modern glade]

[robust thunder]

[vocal shard]

What are you guys talking about?

[modern glade]

[robust thunder]

Deleting the cache

[modern glade]

[robust thunder]

[modern glade]

yup

[robust thunder]

[modern glade]

anyways hru all

[vocal shard]

Good, you?

[modern glade]

I'm ok just waiting for my quest 2 to arrive sometime this week

[vocal shard]

👌

[robust thunder]

Are you writing an essay mate?

[modern glade]

lol

[robust thunder]

I'm just sitting here waiting for it

the anticipation

[modern glade]

no they are writing a books worth

[robust thunder]

Must be quite the book

[ruby burrow]

Think it's one of those big ascii arts that just gets deleted in 0.4 seconds by the bot?

[robust thunder]

Lmao, only if there's too many caps usually

[modern glade]

watch the message get deleted

[robust thunder]

Or maybe they just forgot they were typing and walked away

[modern glade]

lol

[ruby burrow]

Nah, it stops if you do that.

Only lasts a few seconds from the previous key press.

[elfin cloak]

ok i have some dilemma about avatars
i found out that almost 80% of public avatars are not just small but wary small as well
i dont understand mentality of today avatar fascion
i mean i dont have anything against small people and things
but for me that is too much

is it because those avatars are ment for younger population,
it it because to make those youn population bigger step by step...
is it because many people on this planet is small in real life
is it because if someone use wary small avatars are able to see you know what i mean
is it because they can be easy invisible and they can cheat some game with that size
or is it because they like to be like that even if thy not small in rl

trust me i found wary nice adult male and female avatars but they are wary small
but not so nice are not small for me that is kind of offensive and discriminative

[modern glade]

I knew it lmao

[languid beacon]

Size in VR is relative

[robust thunder]

I like having a small Avatar so people expect less out of me

And they pamper me more

[languid beacon]

Shrink everything down and nothing is different you just walk faster and the mirror is bigger

[ruby burrow]

Avatars end up being small in this game for a variety of reasons, and people enjoy using them for a variety of reasons.

[modern glade]

most avatars are small/most use small avatars so if most of vrchat uses small avatars theres going to be alot of small avatars

[languid beacon]

Well there is a balance. If everyone is small, no one is small

[modern glade]

[umbral reef]

Unless there full size is changed you can literally just scale up the avatar

[cold talon]

i have a theory

[elfin cloak]

@ruby burrow
yeah i have small uganda knuckles and other small avatars too
but i dont want to use small avatars all the time

[robust thunder]

That's big brain

[cold talon]

tops use normal size avatars, bottoms use small avatars

[robust thunder]

Ummm

Are you talking about the social ladder?

[modern glade]

I'm 5"8 almost 5'9 so I use all sorts

[ruby burrow]

One of the most common reasons is just the "cuteness arms race". People enjoy the ability VR gives them to have a non threatening more vulnerable looking avatar, and the different reactions people give to that. Which means avatars are often trying to be shorter than those around them, until the point that it becomes slightly silly.

[long hedge]

The pretty avatars I like are just usually tiny

[umbral reef]

Arent most of your avatars like fairly smol?

Also what about ghosto then, they are for sure a bottom

[robust thunder]

so tall

[cold talon]

ok buddy no need to call me short like that

[languid beacon]

Hurts my neck looking down all the time, so under a certain height and I just don’t see y’all

[modern glade]

so I dont really care about avatar height

[ruby burrow]

I'm 6'1 IRL. My avatar is 4'11.

[modern glade]

most of my avatars are medium

[cold talon]

and nah, most of my avas are about my irl size, maybe a tad bit smaller or even taller

[long hedge]

I am 5'7" and my favorite avatar I think is 5'3", so, almost works.

[vocal shard]

dumb question but I havent been on in a month.. what is the local avatar cache data and what happens and does anything happen to my avatars if i clear it?

[ruby burrow]

I didn't know how to measure it when I started making avatars. Just uploaded the model, and the height seemed reasonable based on others around me. So I stuck with it.

[modern glade]

I have a few small avatars but again most are medium height

[vocal shard]

how do you even know the exact height of your avatar

[rancid jewel]

my avatar is like
the same height of me irl

[vocal shard]

use a unity cube

[vocal shard]

smart

[languid beacon]

I just scaled myself to be in eye-line of most other avatars. Think interpersonal body language works best without huge size differences

[vocal shard]

it's exactly one meter

[ruby burrow]

In reality my avatar would class as a "notably short Asian girl", but it's within the bounds of realistic sizes, so I'm fine with it.

[umbral reef]

wait how tiny are you IRL then?

[vocal shard]

so you can just scale it to what you want

[cold talon]

🤫

[modern glade]

also having a small avatars does have some advantages

[umbral reef]

Dont shh me or il get out a measuring stick next time i see ya

[modern glade]

[cold talon]

[vocal shard]

bahka is like 1m52 irl, something like that

[cold talon]

ok sir, understood sir

[modern glade]

good hiding spots and getting into small places/under beds to look for stuff

[umbral reef]

Bahka really is smol

[ruby burrow]

A friend of mine recently switched his main avatar from being one the same height as mine, to one that's nearly 7 foot tall. The contrast has been really interesting.

[cold talon]

ok, i get it im smol

[umbral reef]

Imagine not being close to 1m80

[elfin cloak]

not to mention if your's small you can't reach many option commands
many users use tall or wary tall avatars
plus sometimes you fill unprotected when you are small and others are not

[vocal shard]

I has a question about some one of the updates. ive been away for a month

excuse my bad grammar today

we don't ask questions here

[ruby burrow]

There's this lady at work who is really tiny, and I've been dying to know how tall she is. Because I imagine she might be close to the height of my avatar.
But it doesn't seem right to just go ask her that randomly. >_>;

[vocal shard]

then how do answers create the chaos?

[robust thunder]

Ummm

[umbral reef]

Wait svel you where not tiny righto?

[vocal shard]

irl or ivl ?

[umbral reef]

Irl

[vocal shard]

irl i'm 172 cm

[umbral reef]

Tiny but not really tiny

[vocal shard]

Measured 10 years ago

[ruby burrow]

I actually quite like being able to feel "more vulnerable" in VR-Chat. Makes people more easy going around you when you seem harmless.

[modern glade]

I just chill out with friends

[vocal shard]

i've rarely met people smaller than me IRL

same height quite a few but smaller ? I think I only know 2

[modern glade]

i rarely go on public worlds unless I'm bored af or just wanting to find new fun worlds

[ruby burrow]

Clearing the cache won't effect your avatars or favourites at all. No need to worry. Those are stored on your account. It only wipes the locally downloaded data.

[umbral reef]

I cant judge size for shit but im fairly sure i daily meet a fair few people smaller then you

[vocal shard]

people are tall in switzerland for some reason

[vocal shard]

thank you. this would explain some problems when i cam back yesterday. much abliged

[ruby burrow]

Ah, yesterday there was a momentary issue with the servers. It only lasted an hour or so, but you might have logged on during it.

[umbral reef]

1m80 is like super average in the netherlands
If i didnt get long time sick in my early teens i would have prob gotten to 1m84 even

[vocal shard]

oh i was on then off way before that

[ruby burrow]

Normally clearing the cache has no issues at all, and can be done casually if needed.

[vocal shard]

i was off way before the connection issues.

[vocal shard]

pretty sure ur country is like one of the tallest average

thanks again

[umbral reef]

I think we fell down to second tallest on average in the world recently

[vocal shard]

average height in switzerland for male is 175 and female is 164

i'm somewhere between those 2

[ruby burrow]

I actually made a simple height chart world in the past, due to conversations like this. Is interesting to help visualise real heights against avatars directly.
https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_d2c4c30a-f328-441c-9457-95212fb0cf2b&instanceId=0

[umbral reef]

Also wasnt our local ghost like tall irl too?

[cold talon]

so , that means svel is both female and male

[vocal shard]

i think he is my size or like 1-2 cm taller ? something like that

[umbral reef]

All smol then for me

[vocal shard]

you are just too tall

[ruby burrow]

I always intended to add a little more, like some generic avatar pedestals set to certain heights, but never got round to it.

[umbral reef]

nah nah, your all smol

[vocal shard]

we got average height

yo uare taller than your average

so you are the one that's too tall

[umbral reef]

Hey im also perfectly average for a cheese lowlander

Your countries just have shitty genes

[cold talon]

wow, if svel is smoll than im tiny

[vocal shard]

my country got genes from all over world

checkmate

[modern glade]

[umbral reef]

Fairly sure that if i got a running start i could jump over ya bahka 👀
So yes, super smol indeed

[vocal shard]

just have to lift your leg a little to cross over him

[cold talon]

[modern glade]

I can jump over 3 people

[ruby burrow]

186cm here. Not super tall by any means, but enough that it messed with people when I went to a VR-Chat IRL meetup thing once.

[umbral reef]

Pogs im not the tallest

[ruby burrow]

Because suddenly peoples heights were reversed.

[vocal shard]

"not super tall"
you are like taller than most people in my country

[modern glade]

dude your 6ft

that is tall

[ruby burrow]

People ask me to get things from shelves, but I suck at basketball. :v

[modern glade]

your taller than me

[rancid jewel]

im like short short

[ruby burrow]

Yeah, tall. I just meant not suuuper tall. ^ ^;

[rancid jewel]

i cant reach most things that people that the average heighht can reach

[modern glade]

so around 5'5

[rancid jewel]

shorter then that

[ruby burrow]

I'm more or less the top of what you'll commonly see in the UK. But without being unusual.

[modern glade]

5'

[rancid jewel]

thats about my height

[umbral reef]

Squish is perfect big spoon size

Chin on head size, not face eating hair size

[modern glade]

I use my shorter friends irl as head rest lol

[ruby burrow]

Blame the Scandinavians. They came over here and spread around some of those tall genes. ._.
Named a load of our bridges too. The nerve.

[modern glade]

[rancid jewel]

short gang

[modern glade]

you made it sound like it was a virus lol

[rancid jewel]

pfft

[plain grotto]

It’s not a cache problem femboy, so many people have had this problem and you don’t think the client devs would of took into consideration that it’s just a cache fill up and wouldn’t need a mod

[robust thunder]

[vocal shard]

?

[rancid jewel]

i've never heard someone call someone else a femboy like that before

[modern glade]

same

[ruby burrow]

Seriously. The vikings could not accept the concept of "it's just a bridge mate, it doesn't have a name."
And so during their conquests they went around naming all the bridges in northern England. So all the bridges up there and danish/Scandinavian sounding names.

[inner cape]

you do need to restart, svel

[vocal shard]

u dont

[plain grotto]

Jesus

[vocal shard]

also femboy as an insult is weird ngl

[plain grotto]

Ok femboy

[vocal shard]

🤔

[rancid jewel]

you just called svel hot

[plain grotto]

Is soyboy better

[cold talon]

insult

[vocal shard]

not mean enough

[robust thunder]

I'd agree with that

[vocal shard]

yoou can do better

[rancid jewel]

how about "damp carrot"

[modern glade]

I mean calling someone a femboy is not really an insult

[plain grotto]

Did I say it was an insult

[rancid jewel]

"you DAMP CARROT what do you MEAN"

[modern glade]

but the fact your being a jerk is another thing

[inner cape]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/450369041576755251/805941151617384458/IuMRxEoR1f.gif?width=766&height=537
@vocal shard

[modern glade]

[vocal shard]

@inner cape

[modern glade]

also seems like they are short tempered

[plain grotto]

So sorry, maybe if you read what I was originally talking about you would’ve understood

[vocal shard]

do you actually have a name for every bridge ? or just the bigger ones ?

[ruby burrow]

They named everything. All the small little village bridges too.

[modern glade]

bla bla bla something about cleaning cache

[cold talon]

the second you put a plank over water you gotta give it a name

[vocal shard]

so weird

[ruby burrow]

Apparently a nameless bridge just wasn't acceptable in Viking culture.

[rancid jewel]

did they name an oddly specific patch of dirt

[plain grotto]

Exactly, you don’t know what you’re talking about so stay out of the conversation

[modern glade]

dunno maybe

[vocal shard]

named every single big rock just in case

[robust thunder]

I'd name my bridge

[modern glade]

no I just dont care enough to repeat everything

[robust thunder]

I'm sensing some salt

[plain grotto]

Then why don’t you understand why I “insulted” him

[ruby burrow]

There was something else they gave names too, but I can't remember what. Was an old documentary I watched on it some time.

[modern glade]

because you dont need to in the first place

[ruby burrow]

About what influence the vikings and other raiders had on our culture.

[modern glade]

[plain grotto]

Nothing I said was an insult

[robust thunder]

Why not name everything ay

[plain grotto]

As clearly stated “Femboy” isn’t an insult

[modern glade]

the way you said it made it seem like it was an insult

[carmine egret]

When will the votekick Be fixed....

[vocal shard]

what the hell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bridges_in_the_United_Kingdom

[robust thunder]

Never

[plain grotto]

Am i meant to point it out

[vocal shard]

that's one big list

[robust thunder]

[modern glade]

yeah kinda so people dont think it's an insult

[plain grotto]

Ok femboy

[robust thunder]

So you just have a list of bridges?

[plain grotto]

Not insulting btw

[vocal shard]

not me

[modern glade]

I'm a girl but ok I'll take the compliment

[rancid jewel]

that sure is a lot ofbridges

[ruby burrow]

Lol. Didn't know that was a thing.

[modern glade]

[ruby burrow]

Any examples in there supporting what this documentary taught me?

[plain grotto]

Why is that a compliment

You want to be man?

[robust thunder]

Imagine being a bridge

[modern glade]

because some femboys are cute

[rancid jewel]

^ yeah

[plain grotto]

And you think you’d be cute

[cold talon]

being stepped on all day

[vocal shard]

not sure
can't find any viking named bridge

[modern glade]

idc about being cute or not

[plain grotto]

Why not

[rancid jewel]

driven on too

[vocal shard]

then again i'm not even sure how a viking name for a bridge should look like

[modern glade]

I wear shirts and sweats 24/7

[robust thunder]

Now think of if you taxed people for walking across your bridge 🤤

[ruby burrow]

Hmm. Most of these are younger than the time I'm talking about. And are all larger bridges too, with their own wiki pages even.

[plain grotto]

Do you stink?

[vocal shard]

the hell

[cold talon]

infinite money

[robust thunder]

[modern glade]

the fact your trying to come up with something is cute

[plain grotto]

It was a question

Sorry I should’ve stated that

[cold talon]

[vocal shard]

uh oh stinky

[modern glade]

if you had a brain you would obviously think huh does she takes showers

[ruby burrow]

The final Viking invasion of England supposedly came in 1066, so yeah, this list is nearly all too modern. Would need to look around for whichever really historic ones are still left standing.

[plain grotto]

idk that’s why am asking you

[robust thunder]

Everything is virtual anyway so why not stink

[inner cape]

This argument is not fun to read, cmon guys.

[plain grotto]

I’m making it fun

[modern glade]

yeah no I rather not stink I take showers

[plain grotto]

Are you American

[robust thunder]

C'mon now

Just a lil?

[modern glade]

nope

[plain grotto]

Bri’ish

[robust thunder]

please?

[modern glade]

if I want to smell something stinky I have a dog

[heady salmon]

bruh what lol

[vocal shard]

smell like heaven all the time then

[plain grotto]

Do you not clean your dog

[modern glade]

I give her a bath every 2 weeks

[vocal shard]

dogy

[robust thunder]

That's more than I give my dog

[plain grotto]

Just like yourself then

[modern glade]

tf

I really dont understand your thinking process

[modern glade]

how many times do you give your dog a bath?

[plain grotto]

Lol

[robust thunder]

Just whenever he stinks or is filthy

[modern glade]

[rancid jewel]

yeah same here

[robust thunder]

He hates the bath cuz he grew up with cats so he kinda acts like one

[modern glade]

oh

well lol

[robust thunder]

It's funny though

[rancid jewel]

i have a cat

i used to have another cat that meowed really loudly but that cat passed away

and as a result of that other cat the cat i have now meows really loudly

[robust thunder]

Sad times mate

[vocal shard]

dude got a weird obsession with smells

[modern glade]

mhm

[robust thunder]

Lmao, get botted

[vocal shard]

@shy spoke nO sPamMiNg

[rancid jewel]

fr my cat doesnt go "mew" they go "WAAAAW"

[cold talon]

@vocal shard No spamming

[modern glade]

probably smells dumpsters after work

[rancid jewel]

i can hear them from across the apartment

[vocal shard]

@cold talon

[robust thunder]

Haha, I wish I could hear them

Sounds cute

[modern glade]

apartments arnt that big depending on what kind it is

[rancid jewel]

really isnt when they're screaming at you in 4 in the morning

[modern glade]

rip

I mean its better that sharing a room with a 7year old bitch

[robust thunder]

😵 gotta keep that door shut

[robust thunder]

Are you the 7 year old?

[modern glade]

[robust thunder]

hehe

[modern glade]

no I'm talking about my younger brother

[vocal shard]

ara

[robust thunder]

I see

[modern glade]

also I'm 9 years older

[robust thunder]

Which is?

[vocal shard]

at least 13

[robust thunder]

Math is confusing

[modern glade]

[robust thunder]

That's gotta be like 27 right?

[modern glade]

[vocal shard]

B-b-b-but there's reduced restrictions for me now

[vocal shard]

[wanton turtle]

Hello yandere

[humble ember]

Does anyone know why this issue happens to me, I sit in a seat, but my character and camera is hundreds of meters in the air above the seat sitting, if I exit the seat and sit again it's normal again, and it happens with random models for me?

Also before I never had it on any models but now some of my models do it and some dont and other random ones do it too, it happens to my friends when they use them too

[sharp wren]

anybody wanna vc

i sound like corpse

vc in dms

[robust thunder]

That's a little quick. You should take me out to dinner first

[sharp wren]

lol fr listen to my voice rq 🙂

[vocal shard]

Damn I’m really sad. Today fir the first time in like almost a year or 2 my friend convinced me to get on vrchat after they left I met a really cool person who had a nice mine set and was comedic like a clown but generally interesting

But my game lagged then crashed and when I got back on all the servers had been change from the coffee shop so now I’ll never see the person again cause I didn’t remember the tag 🥺

And I tried to join this discord to find em but it’s not working like I thought

[robust thunder]

My condolences mate

[vocal shard]

Tank

[robust thunder]

I haven't had that happen to me yet but I feel your pain mate

[vocal shard]

Was genuinely an interesting person I wanted to know more about but my files got overloaded and I had forced shut down.

[robust thunder]

I've met some great people but I just don't think of friending them

[vocal shard]

I wish the system of better for friending and last met players and stuff

Like steam is setup you know

[junior jay]

got a quick question; whats the max amount of characters shown for the in-game bio?

[robust thunder]

Yea, it would be nice to be able to join specific instances and not just the select few

[robust thunder]

Ummm, I dunno. Just spam a letter till you cant

[vocal shard]

In any case if you see a thicc clown women with the username Mourno or moruno something like that, tell em Krunch said hi 😔

[robust thunder]

A thicc clown women?

[vocal shard]

Yea it was part of the act/ their thing you know.

Clown nose that boops

[noble depot]

@vocal shard You can get their username through your output log, by the way o:

[vocal shard]

HOW

[noble depot]

Put your most recent output log into https://nyanpa.su/vrchatlog/

!outputlog

[floral flax]

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt

[robust thunder]

You can search for people in the social menu too

[noble depot]

^

[vocal shard]

That’s the thing the name is what I can’t remember

But where do I go to get the log if the game already shutdown?

Would it even work?

[noble depot]

^

[robust thunder]

It's stored

[noble depot]

yes, the output logs are saved after the game exits

[robust thunder]

Like maps and things so when you play with them again their avatar can be loaded quickly

[robust thunder]

Was I close to being right?

[noble depot]

Caching and output logs are def different but yus o:

[robust thunder]

Thank you master!

[noble depot]

ʷᵒᵗ

[vocal shard]

i love you guys I got it

[noble depot]

cool! c:

[vocal shard]

Thank you so much my guys and gals

[robust thunder]

I hope it works out ay

[vocal shard]

Same

Also fun fact I wasn’t even close XD

To the correct way u say the name

[robust thunder]

Lmao, you have great memory mate

[vocal shard]

Yup 👍

I was gonna make a friend but i crashed : /

Sad.

[summer zinc]

FINALY

ive been waiting

now i can talk

[robust thunder]

Just scroll up a bit. This just happened

[cobalt apex]

Hi guys

[vocal shard]

Are the servers having issues? I cant load anything

[golden olive]

General question... How does one become a vrc moderator? I'm sick and tired of the harassment, crashers and avatar theives. You guys obviously need some help in this area.

[small hare]

i'm trying to play with a friend and we can't load anything either

[vocal shard]

As far as I know, vrchat moderators are ones who are already employees working for vrchat. But I really have no insight on this. Just a guess

[waxen shuttle]

@ me for funny

I send le funny in DM’s

please

[inner cape]

They don't really moderate in game, they just review reports and issue penalties depending on that. So, best you could do is report more people. 🤷‍♂️

[waxen shuttle]

famu wanna see an nsfw meme

[meager badge]

Spaghetti

[inner cape]

I'm still only guessing though, so don't quote me on the first part.

[golden olive]

Reason I ask is that at least 6 people have been hit by this same user, and so far nothing is being done about it.

[noble depot]

Record them and send that, along with your most recent output log to #moderation-reports o:

[inner cape]

Did you do anything about it?

[rancid jewel]

vr

[sour flume]

hi

[rancid jewel]

hi

[waxen shuttle]

hi

[sour flume]

does anyone wanna play

[next hamlet]

I just made a Hank Hill model with a working mouth and eye tracking

well modified the original to have a mouth and eye tracking to be more specific

[vocal shard]

anyone know unity well enough to help me work on my avatar

maybe the guy above you

maybe

[noble depot]

#avatars-2-general for SDK2, #avatar-help for SDK3 c:

[inner cape]

If you have specific questions, shoot them in channels as Zuvali said, but if you're entirely new, yt tutorials are your best friends.

[vocal shard]

only if you saw my youtube history

[inner cape]

oh boi

[vocal shard]

ive been working on my avatar for like 4 days now

just watching youtube videos and trying to get to the point of rigging

im going to move this into #avatar-help

[inner cape]

Oh, you working on one from scratch right from beginning? Gotta commend your bravery.

[vocal shard]

yeah its also my first unity project

my question i know they have simple awnsers and shit i am trying to find someone to get a call and kinda guide me

like i understand this stuff mostly

ive been climbing a big hill since like 7 yesterday

trying to figure diffrent things out

[open crescent]

youtube tutorials are your best friends

[vocal shard]

...

[vocal shard]

@open crescent

[noble depot]

If you need modelling help specifically, I'd recommend #3d-modeling c:

[pliant spoke]

gay rat

[vocal shard]

oh my model is made

[jovial kestrel]

It's really fun when you get that motivational spark that kicks off the creative cycle, days pass in what seems like hours and at the end you come out with a model.

[vocal shard]

i am trying to make it a single mesh

[vocal shard]

thats where im at except i have been hit by a bus

[open crescent]

you're gonna have a hard time getting someone (i.e. a stranger) to call you and step-by-step guide you for free (might get super lucky but usually not).
But if you get stuck at specific things people here will usually help if you ask

[noble depot]

select the meshes in Object mode and ctrl+J o:

[vocal shard]

yeah thats why i came here, to get what help i can. id like someone to guide me but i know thats near unreasonable

[vocal shard]

ill try that thanks ^.^

[jovial kestrel]

The most productive place to look would be #3d-modeling as stated above. It's gonna take time to get responses though, but with patience you can grab some great tips.

[cosmic shale]

Test’s full of optimism as usual

[vocal shard]

fair enough

[cosmic shale]

Huh?

Edited to minimise confusion-

[vocal shard]

i usealy quit projects after 5 minutes and now im on day 4

[vocal shard]

all good lol

[open crescent]

I'm just saying most people are busy don't want to call and personally teach strangers, but can help answering questions

[vocal shard]

il let yall enjoy your chat im moving into the proper channel thanks for the help everyone

[open crescent]

good luck, don't give up

[vocal shard]

yeah i understand that.

[vocal shard]

NEVER :D

alrioght have fun

[dull badge]

Who can make avatars here? i might wanna buy some but idk yet, i just want to see if anyone can make any here or if its possible, im on pc, i dont have a vr, so lmk. Thanks!

[rancid jewel]

#avatar-search-old

[open crescent]

Check #community-servers-old the vrctraders server is for commissioning avatars for example

[rancid jewel]

that too

[radiant lily]

is there a channel here or vr chat discord that post times of in game events like open mic and such?

[inner cape]

There's a separate event discord server.

Google it.

[vocal shard]

Hello everyone

[robust thunder]

Heyo mate

[torpid cradle]

Just bought a valve index should I turn off my basestations or leave them on

[robust thunder]

The valve index

[torpid cradle]

What’s wrong

[robust thunder]

No, I mean it as like "I wish I had that"

[vapid citrus]

Hello everyone. Just joined VRChat and feel rather lost

[robust thunder]

Welcome mate

[vapid citrus]

Is there text chatting in VRChat?

[robust thunder]

Not in VRChat no

[vapid citrus]

really?

[robust thunder]

Some world's might have a text system built into the map but most don't

[vapid citrus]

I see

[drowsy terrace]

you can write with your fingers in the air on some avatars

[vapid citrus]

I'm on a desktop computer and my monitor isn't touchscreen

[drowsy terrace]

oh yeah you couldn't do it without VR

[open crescent]

I think you can still grab stuff and use it with the mouse

and keyboard

[flint surge]

Anyone here make avatars? And can you make me a avatar?

[open crescent]

like the pens in worlds

but maybe not the avatars finger writing

[flint surge]

I legit just want a avatar of my head with spider legs under it.

I wanna walk around vrc and creep people out with my face

[open crescent]

check the #community-servers-old the vrctraders discord is for commisioning avatars

[subtle drum]

Man, what happened to Station 13?

[vapid citrus]

OK Thanks.

[noble depot]

Did the world have a pool table in it? o:

[rancid jewel]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 26460 users in VRChat currently

[rancid jewel]

hey, is docs.vrchat.com down for anyone else?

[jovial kestrel]

Not on my end.

[rancid jewel]

#general-media message
i dont think its supposed to look like this

wait everythings fine now
ok then

maybe just a small hiccup

[vocal shard]

low download speeds for worlds and avatars anyone

[pine dew]

Had very slow avatar download speeds on and off while taking my wife around to pick one a couple hours ago

[rancid jewel]

i wonder if theyre aware of the slow download speeds

[tawdry knot]

Hey, I’m new to VRchat. I would be very great full if someone helped or showed me around.
Thanks

[rancid jewel]

whats your vrc username? i can add you as a friend.

[tawdry knot]

6estiny

[fast flint]

Hey I’m new also and people so far have been really mean to me on vr lol could use a friend on here:(

[rancid jewel]

6estiny i sent you a friend request

queenem whats your username

[tawdry knot]

Thanks

[fast flint]

ItsQueenEm

[rancid jewel]

ok i sent you a friend request as well

[tawdry knot]

Accepted.

[rancid jewel]

nice

[unreal verge]

Oof got a world crasher

[west night]

Oop

OctoOnFire can I send u something

[unreal verge]

What?

[west night]

Oof won’t let me send

[unreal verge]

Yes because i disabled DMs

[west night]

Oop

I was going to send a strange thing I made nothing bad

[unreal verge]

You can now

[west night]

Ree

[finite nacelle]

anyone here able to help me figure out how to add these assets to a custom avatar in Unity due to them coming in a sepret download due to size?

[west night]

I has never done that sorry

[sharp saddle]

Question: how optimized is Club Echo on Quest if anyone's familiar?

[vocal shard]

is there a way to tell them

[rancid jewel]

probably not tbh considering its not really an emergency

[vocal shard]

ooof, waiting 5 minutes for a 50mb world

[rancid jewel]

😬

[slender storm]

what rank i need to upload avatar

[jovial kestrel]

New User.

[slender storm]

thank you

[quaint anchor]

Hello guys i got a email to upload avatars and world what does that mean

[unreal verge]

That you are able to do that now

[golden olive]

Well I put in a report ticket for the first time tonight, I'm getting sick of this. People using modded clients to rip people's avatars and then spread them everywhere. They aren't doing enough to clamp down on this.

[ionic oriole]

vr chat on steam is buggy

[unreal verge]

Sad thing is that you don't even need a modded client for this, but won't go into details with that

In fact you don't even need the game at all

[jovial kestrel]

There's no "stop ripping" button, unfortunately.

[unreal verge]

Yeah

[unreal verge]

Also, are you sure they ripped the avatar? It may be that the creator sells them or gives them for free.

[noble depot]

I'd recommend keeping shadowplay's instant replay/AMD's equivalant on in the background so you can send in a video clip along with the report, assuming you see the malicious users often o:

[unreal verge]

Mmh i don't care enough and only block them if i notice they begin to harm others

[jovial kestrel]

This. If you submit reports with substantial evidence like Videos, pictures and logs, it is very valuable to Moderation.

[golden olive]

I know of at least 6 people personally who have had their private avatars (that they made themselves) ripped by this group of people attacking us. I see people all over the place using them now, and that was NOT by choice. The entire security system on VRC is useless.\

[unreal verge]

Yeah ok then it's fair to report them

[unreal verge]

The only one is to not upload :/

[charred moon]

I see some people have rgb colored avatars how

[jovial kestrel]

Shaders.

[bitter bone]

So is it a known bug that sometimes VRChat just completely drops to like 2fps, even with all avatars completely disabled https://i.imgur.com/xCkyzEY.png

[charred moon]

i want one

[bitter bone]

Because this is starting to anger me omfg

Like my rig handles VR fine and it runs VRC like 90% of the time fine, then just suddenly flips inside out at random times lol

[jovial kestrel]

You may find it lucrative to post in #quest-general or #user-support-old for something like that. Others who have solved the issue may be able to help you.

[unreal verge]

Rejoining world may help. If you just disable avatars after they already loaded in they can still draw performance just by being in the RAM/VRAM

[golden olive]

The developers should look at fixing the system security and stability first before they start messing around with silly features like icons and menus. I know they are all working hard but a lot of us put many hours into making this stuff, and it's not cool to have it stolen because they can't keep trolls and malicious users off of the system. This is the fault of the developers, not the users.

[bitter bone]

I'm not playing on quest, I'm on Reverb G2

But I'll plop it in there and see what people say

[unreal verge]

At least it's the way for me. People loading avatars will slowly decrease my performance and i will only get a part of it back if i disable them. Rejoining clears everything out.

[bitter bone]

I'll see if I can...do you just select your own world in "worlds" and hit the join button again?

[unreal verge]

Yeah

[jovial kestrel]

I'm not sure if it's the store's fault that someone robs it.

[charred moon]

i want a rgb rainbow shader

[noble depot]

#avatar-search-old

[charred moon]

thank you

[noble depot]

yw! c:

[noble depot]

That will likely send you to a different instance of that world, by the way o:

[unreal verge]

Though if you've really bad performance clicking on join can suddenly get you a server disconnect in which case it won't be guaranteed anymore that you get into the same instance

[unreal verge]

Nah it should be the same since you join with the same instance ID

[bitter bone]

Yeah I clicked join on my own ID

[unreal verge]

Make sure there is the text "you are here" in the thumbnail

[bitter bone]

I'm still lagging like hell lol

Changed nothing, sadly

[unreal verge]

SteamVR?

[bitter bone]

Yep

[unreal verge]

Did you open the Dashboard?

[bitter bone]

Uhh no I never touch the dashboard cuz it's crashed me before

[unreal verge]

Mmh

[bitter bone]

Ima just friend this dude then relog and come back

[unreal verge]

I'm not entirely sure. Could still be some SteamVR Bug or VRC problem

[bitter bone]

I try not to do that but bleh

[open crescent]

does Nvidia ShadowPlay or however the video recording thing is called work in vr?

[bitter bone]

Yeah, because whatever you're playing in VR shows up on your PC screen

[bitter bone]

Just make sure you have the VR game you're playing selected as the windows that displays on your PC

[open crescent]

makes sense, thanks

[uneven escarp]

vrc dying?

[hard blaze]

avatars aren't loading for me

[timid peak]

Same

[uneven escarp]

i am stuck switching

[vocal shard]

yup

avis wont load

[gloomy cosmos]

[vocal shard]

yee avis wont loa

[ashen harbor]

hai

[old scroll]

hey i betcha tuppers gonna say "Hi everyone! We're aware of and currently investigating server issues with VRChat. Thanks for your patience!"

[wraith pumice]

Oh ok so I wasn’t the only one

[ebon hazel]

yup servers dying on my side too

[mental torrent]

hi how do I play gta5 in vr chat

[wraith pumice]

Riiiip well hopefully they work soon

[open crescent]

whatcha talkin bout willis

those are 2 unrelated games

[wraith pumice]

XDDD

You can roleplay I don’t think there’s a los santos map in vrc that would be a pain to create probably extremely huge too in terms of download file size.

[mental torrent]

hi

ok

can you let me add you

[wraith pumice]

y?

[mental torrent]

becuase

you have an anime pfp

[wraith pumice]

There’s tons of ppl who have anime pfps -_-

[meager snow]

Vrchad

[mental torrent]

yes but please let me add you im filling up my friend list with anime pfps. just be in my frirend list i wont dm you or anything

[wraith pumice]

I think I’ll pass you can add somebody else.

[fickle umbra]

E

[mental torrent]

hmmmmmmm are you korean

@wraith pumice

[late void]

Why servers borked

[wraith pumice]

No why do you ask? @mental torrent

[mental torrent]

because undertale.

[wraith pumice]

No idea it did this yesterday also or 2 days ago

[distant moth]

Bro this dude is down bad

[wraith pumice]

😑

[distant moth]

He's down horrendously bad.

[cold talon]

tupper, once again, dropped his coffee on the servers

[modern mantle]

fiks

[late void]

I gave up on leaving because vrchat is my main social life tbh and my creative outlet :// it's like I wanna leave but... I guess I can't. Theres no alternative yet

I haven't taken down the signs though because tbh I'm still salty about everything that made me wanna leave

And I'm lazy

[tame wasp]

thank god i havent given this game any money because this happens too much 😂

[late void]

There was like a massive population boost after Christmas

[tame wasp]

i knos

[covert chasm]

its like 12:45am why would i have coffee

[gleaming kraken]

sigh..

[cold talon]

pff, idunno, i dont judge

[broken plover]

Or the vrc+ cat chewed on the cables

[vague turtle]

why I dont buy vrc+

[arctic elm]

Any news if they're gonna adjust vrc+ pricing, or have price tiers any time soon? gotta cancel my sub because broke :c

[tacit rapids]

@tranquil obsidian servers doing ok ?

[arctic elm]

id like to support vrc but $10 is too much for what you get rn, imo

[vague turtle]

you'd be supporting bugs n glitches like the ongoing one rn

amazon prime is better

[carmine cape]

I got a year of vrc+. Thought I might as well considering how many hours I have in vrc

[gleaming kraken]

i bought it purely for the early supporter badge and with this stuff i have no plans of renewing it once it runs out

[arctic elm]

cant make it better if they got no money. ive made a lot of friends on vrc so id like to help but I can do like $5/m

[vague turtle]

vive gave them 10 million

[gleaming kraken]

ever since vrc+ came out i havent seen any noticable improvement, infact only more problems..

[vague turtle]

where'd it go

[arctic elm]

My point is, 2 of the top 3 feedback threads are about it being too much money and they've just been silent about it

[carmine cape]

There was quite a performance update not to long ago

[vague turtle]

theyre more interested in adding more things to the game than fixing the issues it causes.

[gleaming kraken]

performance updates mean little when there are so many server issues now

[wraith pumice]

Gotta be patient with the devs all we can really do is wait.

[vague turtle]

we need the old devs

[wraith pumice]

There were old ones?

[jovial kestrel]

This sort of stuff also just happens to happen at the worst times availability wise.

[wraith pumice]

I never knew I just started playing the game a lot recently

[wraith pumice]

oh yeh that’s true I keep forgetting ppl have lives

[cold talon]

huh, crazy what a 1% loss on the api can do

[jovial kestrel]

It can be sort of easy to forget, given that most people have been forcibly living inside for the recent year.

[wraith pumice]

At least it’s not like how it was on New Year’s I was able to connect back to the lobby when I crashed

[carmine cape]

I enjoy vrc enough to put up with any problems. Not being able to play for a hour or two every now and then is not the end of the world

[wraith pumice]

That’s exactly my case I haven’t really been outside other than to get groceries

[wraith pumice]

That’s how I feel plus by buddy fell asleep so I’m afk waiting for them to wake up anyways.

[worthy flax]

4 year anniversary on steam

[wraith pumice]

Poggers

[late adder]

Hey, has the game's world/avatar downloading been slow for anybody else besides me as of recent? I can get good/decent connection anywhere else, but it went bad when I joined some friends in game.

[jovial kestrel]

The server is currently experiencing issues.

[late adder]

Ah okay, so it's not just me then. Thanks.

[wraith pumice]

Yeye

[carmine cape]

Is the cause of the server problems known by chance?

[worthy flax]

singular?

plural?

[wraith pumice]

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

[tepid aurora]

Is VRChat servers being DDoSed AGAIN?!

[carmine cape]

Yeah my guess would be ddos

[wraith pumice]

Deadass?

[karmic harbor]

Guys how can I upload unsupported shader to quest ?

[wraith pumice]

You can’t

Only the vrchat mobile shaders are allowed

[tepid aurora]

Whoever keeps DDoSing VRChat needs to grow up.

[errant lagoon]

rn the avatars are having issues loading agen just like yesterday

[karmic harbor]

So how come there're crasher skins

[carmine cape]

All the Angy script kids need to stop

[tepid aurora]

if they don't like the game then they need to just leave it alone and go elsewhere with it

[wraith pumice]

I’m not too sure honestly all I know is that if you try and use an unsupported shader for quest it won’t even let you upload the avatar.

[arctic elm]

doubt its a ddos tbh theres just a huge amount of demand and new features

[karmic harbor]

Ik that's why I'm asking is there any way

[wraith pumice]

Not that I know of.

[carmine cape]

Na custom shaders on a quest would kill performance to much

[tepid aurora]

what new features, VRChat Plus? It hasn't gotten anything new so I cancelled my sub

[arctic elm]

beta

[wraith pumice]

It sucks that custom shaders aren’t allowed, but like ewrt says it would kill performance.

[karmic harbor]

:(

[wraith pumice]

There’s one thing I never really figured out and that’s why there can’t be audio that comes outta the avatar on quest. How exactly does that make the performance bad?

[karmic harbor]

Anyway do u guys know any gud models ?

[carmine cape]

Just imagine a furr shader on a quest. You would actually get negative frames

[arctic elm]

quest is stimky

[carmine cape]

Quest is stinky cause of facebook

[arctic elm]

i am not a fan of fb

[karmic harbor]

I don't even have facebook i jailbreaked mine

[wraith pumice]

O was there a banned word I used?

[jovial kestrel]

There are certain "distribution" websites you can't name.

[wraith pumice]

Ahhh gotcha

[karmic harbor]

Nuts.com

[wraith pumice]

Is deviantart allowed?

[arctic elm]

vrstinky.com

[jovial kestrel]

Yeah, it's the other one that isn't.

[wraith pumice]

Ye ok go on there and look for MMD models

[tall stone]

i have a question what time i need to play vrchatmto publish avatar?

[wraith pumice]

You can convert them using Cats in blender

[gleaming kraken]

[karmic harbor]

Depends

[wraith pumice]

You just need to get new user so not that long

[karmic harbor]

I got new user rank after first time playing on pc

[jovial kestrel]

It can range in hours, it really just depends on what you do with your time. I would say between 10-20 is the average.

[gray burrow]

you need to add friends too

[karmic harbor]

I got mine in 4 days

[wraith pumice]

Make sure you actually made a vrchat account cuz if you login through steam or Occulus you cannot

[tall stone]

i got 24 hours

[karmic harbor]

Don't be afk mate

[arctic elm]

or buy vrc+

[carmine cape]

I have seen 5 hours to new user

[wraith pumice]

Bruh

[karmic harbor]

Money is power

[jovial kestrel]

I mean the formula for ranking up is all magic to me, I just know what people tell me.

[gray burrow]

^^

[karmic harbor]

Imagine having trusted user

[gray burrow]

can't relate

[arctic elm]

vrc team is mr krabs

[karmic harbor]

Well I mean game is free so

[carmine cape]

Adding trusted friends seems to be the fastest way other than vrc+ but don't quote me on ot

[wraith pumice]

As long as you have a vrc account, friend some people and not afk to accumulate hours you’ll get new user fast

[gray burrow]

quoted

[karmic harbor]

They need some money for improvements and n new kfc console

[arctic elm]

p sure time plays a huge factor of it, and not getting blocked

[carmine cape]

:c

[wraith pumice]

Oh yeh don’t get blocked

XD

[tepid aurora]

people worry about facebook selling data but so does google

discord does too

[wise basin]

every company sells data cries

[karmic harbor]

I'm trusting discord n google more than mark

[arctic elm]

apparently you can drop a rank for pruning your friends list

[gray burrow]

selling our data is kinda good tho cause they show us offers of stuff we need

[carmine cape]

Yep happened to a friend of mine

[karmic harbor]

Or stuff u mention once and already bought it

[karmic harbor]

I'm bought google home cuz fbi in house is convenient

[arctic elm]

i have like 4 forms of adblock lol

[tepid aurora]

Snap and Insta are boring to me. I don't take pictures.

[gray burrow]

lmao

[wraith pumice]

Let’s just face big tech has access to more data than you can even imagine. If you use Instagram which is owned by Facebook they know how long you stayed on a post, if you liked it, etc. They can feed you more post like that to create a picture of your interest, then they can shove ads down your throat so you buy stuff.

[tepid aurora]

I left facebook because people were posting too much drama

[gray burrow]

i only have insta for meme accs and i use snap for streaks only cause they're fun

[tepid aurora]

I don't know a lot of people sadly

[gray burrow]

lmao rip

[opal bone]

i dont even have an insta

[carmine cape]

Google and Facebook will know that I'm having a heart attack before I do

[karmic harbor]

[tepid aurora]

I still own a facebook account, I just use it for logging in shit I am too lazy to use my email for

[arctic elm]

[wraith pumice]

Doesn’t really matter cuz Google has your data too and I know for a fact you use Google.

[tall stone]

[arctic elm]

[tall stone]

and i am visitor

[tall stone]

[arctic elm]

[karmic harbor]

Yup

Gl mate new user and above rank gang

[tepid aurora]

People practically are always insert lewd remark about google and sheeple here

[wise basin]

YESSSS

[tepid aurora]

Idc that people think it's bad, I use Bing

[wraith pumice]

Just play the game tbh last year when I played for the first time I got to user in a week and that’s because I friended a lot of people, explored a bunch of worlds, and accumulated some hours of playing.

[tepid aurora]

I've had no trouble with bing

[wraith pumice]

I recommend just turning on community labs and exploring a crap ton of worlds and meeting new people.

[arctic elm]

if you have 24 hours you should get new user pretty soon, just vibe

[gray burrow]

i opened the link and it says "canny wants to connect to your vrc acc"

who tf is canny tho

[arctic elm]

canny is the feedback platform

[jovial kestrel]

^

[gray burrow]

oh lmao

[tall stone]

my friend played the game 1 hour and he is the user;(

[arctic elm]

but yeah yall, upvote that post we need a $5 tier im broke rn

[wraith pumice]

Also if you’re trying to publish worlds and avatars make sure you actually have a vrchat account and not login through steam or oculus @tall stone

[arctic elm]

are you getting blocked by a bunch of people, or just not making friends or what

[tall stone]

i got vr chat account

[wraith pumice]

Ok good

[tepid aurora]

Even though I've had the game since steam release, steam says I only have 2.6K hours (I have more on my steam account but meh)

[tall stone]

ya im not making friends

[gray burrow]

lol rip

[arctic elm]

make some friends lol

[wraith pumice]

Just keep playing bruh, you gain nothing significant past New User.

[tall stone]

ok

[tepid aurora]

I played before they added ranks

[wraith pumice]

Nothing to worry about

[tall stone]

yes

[arctic elm]

you USED to get a purple nametag with trusted, im still salty about it

[tepid aurora]

gonna be honest I swear a good amount of people just afk on the game to get the hours

[arctic elm]

a lot of people sleep in vr

[wraith pumice]

Technically if you open the menu the color is still there hehe

[tepid aurora]

exactly what I am saying

[cold talon]

veteran and legends tho

[arctic elm]

yeah but its not the same :/ i want the pretty colors

[wraith pumice]

You gain nothing when you do that

[gray burrow]

lmao i have 63 hours play time on steam vrchat

[tepid aurora]

veteran and legend are unofficial though

[wraith pumice]

As soon as that update came out I hit known user, I really like the orange :((

[tepid aurora]

they honestly "bring nothing to the table" since they aren't even in the safety settings

[cold talon]

🤔 they are official tho, just not exposed, you can still view them in the api

[arctic elm]

i got trusted the day the update went live lmao, and my friend the day before

[spiral gull]

I like vr chat it cool

[wraith pumice]

Ooof

[tepid aurora]

They are in the code but they are considered unofficial

[arctic elm]

im hoping they take my suggestion and let us get custom border colors

[wraith pumice]

Same I love all the avatars some people have such creative minds it shocks me everyday I play the game.

[arctic elm]

i just liked the colors they pretty, idc about rank

[tepid aurora]

ranks only matter for safety settings

[spiral gull]

yes i met new friends in the among us game :D

[cold talon]

they probably will include custom nameplates and borders with vrc+

[tepid aurora]

well ranks above user

Idc for ranks honestly, I just make friends regardless of the rank

[wraith pumice]

Bruh I remember one time I saw like 6k ppl playing among us 😮

[wraith pumice]

Yeah most likely :((

[arctic elm]

yeah i suggested something of the sort: https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/add-a-custom-color-border-to-nametags

[tepid aurora]

Among US has become irritating and annoying to me. Like the Knuckles meme

[wraith pumice]

Yeah I agree

[tepid aurora]

It's fine for a bit but after so long... new things must avail

[wraith pumice]

I always tell people this, you gain nothing past New User besides a color.

[tepid aurora]

Thought it was User that you stopped "gaining" anything

[cold talon]

well that's how it should be, but in reality a lot of people sadly block all users below trusted

[wraith pumice]

Nah when you hit New User you gain the ability to publish Avatars and Worlds. User, Known User, and Trusted nothing.

[tepid aurora]

I only block if they are being a nuisance

[wraith pumice]

Not always it really depends back when I first got on the game when I was a visitor the trusted people wouldn’t block me they were just very distant from me if that makes sense. I did a little experiment when I hit known user I never really got ignored, but I’m not saying this is always the case I see lots of trusted users talking with people under their rank.

I also was very shy back then I was very scared of talking, I even went mute occasionally, so it was very hard to make friends I see a lot of visitors that way as well. There’s also a lot of quest users that are visitors as well and there seems to be a stigma around quest users being extremely young(which is lowkey true) and this is why some ppl block em.

[gray burrow]

"i even went mute occasionally." me who is always muted but still makes friends using a combination of emotes and hand gestures:

[regal furnace]

user allows you to make worlds public btw

[wraith pumice]

That’s truu I almost forgot about that xD

[wraith pumice]

Oh ok I didn’t know about that, I hit user very quickly back then my friends initially told me that anything beyond new user had no new features either way ranking up to user is very simple and straightforward.

[regal furnace]

its a common misconception as most people want to upload custom avatars instead of worlds at that point. I wouldnt know that either if i hadnt an alt account that hit new user recently (for testing stuff in my worlds)

[tall stone]

i cant get user;(

but i played the 24 hours and i am visitor

[wraith pumice]

Yes you can it’s ez trust me make friends, explore, have fun. That’s the formula you’ll get it no matter what.

[tall stone]

i have 40 friends;(

[wraith pumice]

40 friends and no user, that’s weird are you getting blocked by a lot of people?

[tall stone]

no

i say its insane

[wraith pumice]

The only logical way I could think of is you not upgrading your account.

https://help.vrchat.com/kb/article/24-i-want-to-turn-my-steam-oculus-account-into-a-vrchat-account/

If you haven’t already did this then you need to do it to rank up, take note of what the article says in the beginning Don’t make another account and try to merge it you will lose all your favorited worlds and avatars.

[regal furnace]

i got new user with 20h of playtime, so give it some time

[tall stone]

i do that

and now i need to play when i end the lessons

[wraith pumice]

He’s still visitor with 24 hours played, and 40 friends. That’s quite unusual that he hasn’t hit at least New User.

Are you sure tho like launch the game and go to your settings if it says at the bottom “Upgrade Account” then you didn’t actually do it.

[regal furnace]

40 friends in 24 hours is quite unusual as well

[wraith pumice]

🤷‍♀️

[tall stone]

i did it but i am visitor still

[regal furnace]

there also is a difference between having trusted users as friends or visitors. Mass friendling others doesnt help either

[wraith pumice]

I guess that’s true

[regal furnace]

and if others friended you or you friended others, when others friend you its better than when you friend others

[tall stone]

ok

[wraith pumice]

Oh yeh are you the one sending the friend requests or are other people sending them to you?

Cuz now that I think about it you’ve only played about a day In game time if you play maybe a week in game time then you’ll probably hit new user or maybe user(kinda stretching it)

[regal furnace]

you most likely wont skip an entire rank

also, asking support is completely useless, as they will only respond with the same answer every time
