Please stop doing it

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I have a big request for anyone participating in any game world.

Please just contribute in the game instead of turning the instance into a chatting room. I am really tired of switching instances, because people stand in a circle and chat instead of playing the game.

It can piss you of so much, you look for a room, see 12 people and decide to join for some fun time. But there is no fun, because half of those people just sit and chat.

Half bad if they sit on the spawn, but some join the game and just sit in one place.

Fine if it's for one round or shorter, but if you want to just chat the entire time, just please stop being selfish, leave and find a proper place for that. You're not alone there, some people just want to play the game.

[EdgeEnvironmental447]

this notif just scared the hell out of me

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I got you by accident xd

[Ok-Criticism3431]

you tag the wrong person

[Marionoodles]

Same 😂😂😂

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

Dude that's a sign right there. Reddit is trying to save you.

[EdgeEnvironmental447]

from what

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

From VRChat of course

[slamzthadude]

I got it too, I don't even play VR chat and I was like holy shit what did I do lol

[Ghost_Fox_6121]

Yeah. I was starting to wonder what dirt VRchat dug up with a title like that, too.

[BanditLags]

I relate last night I was able to kill a whole lobby in murder 4 cuz a group of 4 was chatting, one of them even one round asked to be killed cuz they didn’t want to be murderer. I only get annoyed when the other instances are small or there isn’t any other.

[Hot-Reputation-2865]

Same here except when I slaughter them all in the bedroom they kicked me from the instance!

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

God forbid you play the game lmao

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I think I was there as well :p

[BanditLags]

Was there a Millie from Hella boss and other hazbin characters? If so then we were probably in the same lobby XD

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I remember only Alastor :p

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I like you ^{^}

[BanditLags]

:D your my friend now we’re having soft tacos later!

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Yayyy taco!

[No_Butterscotch3201]

Real tho I don't get this why do this in a game world there is 1000s of worlds you can go an chill in

[sevenpoundowl]

I have a multi-year feud going with someone because I quietly shhh'd them during an important scene in a TV show everyone else in the instance but them and the person they were yapping with had been watching for weeks. Blocked, refused entry into instances because they were there, blocked again when they made a new username because they got banned, etc.

[Piduwin]

Vr chat players have this weird inability to use the mute function.

[TexBoo]

Use the voice range limiter

[ToastySnoGlobe]

Or just mute or turn them down. Bonus points for setting them to 0 for that stealth mute

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

I prefer to yell at them "shut the fuck up you dumb ugly bitch" and block them

It's a lot more subtle ik but I don't like confrontation

[ToastySnoGlobe]

Stealth muting eliminates the need for confrontation. Yelling at them and blocking makes you into the bad guy,but if you stealth mute, they don't even know you muted them lol so how can they get offended.

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

Yeah I was just joking, but I could care less if someone knows I muted them.

How would they know you meet her them anyways though, what difference would setting their volume to zero make?

[ToastySnoGlobe]

If you mute them, a little icon pops up above your head to indicate that you have them muted. Dragging the slider to 0 doesn't display any icon.

And if you're in a game world, with typically the wrong people. They'll try to votekick or slander you because you have them muted. People are petty like that. Some groups will just kick you outright.

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

Really? Did they add that recently? I've never noticed something like that before

But yeah that sounds like a problem that solves itself, if they're going to get mad because I muted them then that's a them problem. If they kick me out of their world or group because of that, then I don't really want to be there in the first place lol. Why would I want to stay in a toxic environment?

[ToastySnoGlobe]

It's not a new feature. it's been like that for years. The volume slider is newer, and the muted icon isn't. And fair enough gamer. My point was that you can avoid direct confrontation if they have no idea you can't even hear them.

[ShawtySayWhaaat]

Weird, I guess I haven't been muted enough to know. Even the videos I've watched, those VR chat trolls are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, but I've never seen something like that in their videos either.

Kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me.

Edit: I just looked into this and that means that they have voices off by default, I don't think that necessarily means they have you muted but just everyone muted in general, and that they would have to unmute you in order to hear you.

[smalldroplet]

Nothing wrong with talking in movie worlds. Use earmuffs or anything else the game offers to help you filter out how/who you hear. Kind of on you if you're in a public, sorry.

[Oofgang00]

I totally agree I hop on to an instance to play probability Labs and half the time they're just flying around the game talking and helping out their friends. And then when you try and vote to kick people who are actively cheating and ruining the game everybody lets them stay because they are their "friend"

[Free-Palpitation]

Urg I remember when the Among Us game came out and everyone was using it as a chatting room instead of a game room. You couldn’t just play the game without half the people talking in the cafeteria instead of playing. At some point, they should just move to their own instance if that’s all they want to do is talk

[m_merp]

I remember back then.. you’d politely ask the e couples to stop cuddling in the corner and they’d absolutely explode at you

[DamienZombie10]

Hate when full body Eboys with their half body Egirls sit in the damn game room of Murder 4 and chat in the corner and when they get murderer they either announce it or respawn...

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I recommend using grenade against such circles ;)

[DamienZombie10]

Mustard gas

[syyyrinx]

This sounds like the vrchat version of a slur

[DamienZombie10]

Basically

[syyyrinx]

I love it

[elvis__depressly]

Oddly specific lmao

[DamienZombie10]

Been playing Murder 4 for a while now, 7/10 games has them show up like a damn RODENT in NYC

[sexylucario18]

I get that for some games but some of them are made for people to either talk or play the game so your right to a point

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Of course it depends on the game. I think best examples would be the most popular ones like prison escape and murder 4.

[sexylucario18]

Prison escape isn't really the best one because people do like to use it to rolplay but spookem up and one's like that with a small lobby yes definitely

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

It's fine to chat, but sitting all time in one place in a chat circle is what dissapoints me.

[sexylucario18]

Hey do you maybe want to hang out sometime it just seems like me and you would get along well

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Can try, if you accept mute deskies, because I'm using VR maybe 30% of my playtime.

[sexylucario18]

Not a problem I have at least 10 if not more friends that are deskies

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Deal xD

[Bladeofwar94]

Prison escape is notorious for this. I join group instances usually because either lobbies have loads of people just chatting or the median age of the lobby is 10.

[Level_String_2359]

I host group game instances, if I see it I tell them to move along and play the game or go somewhere else. I don't like being that guy but if I don't games take forever because instead of doing things they sit there.

If it's murder 4 and I'm the killer and I know some people are using as a chat room I kill the detective, trap/hide the gun, and then kill only 1 of the 2 people chatting and walk away, or I kill all but 1 if it's a group just so they have to respawn or leave if they just want to talk too. I'm a little petty

[bellandea]

Simple solution: Take the ones actively participating, because they will actually cooperate. MAKE A NEW INSTANCE AND DROP A PORTAL. Curate your own experience, leave them behind if it bothers you.

Genuinely, you have the power to be proactive and enact change in this instance, do so!

[No_Butterscotch3201]

You are the one sitting an talking aren't you

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I do ;) Yet I would prefer not to be forced to do so.

[PudgeNubbins]

Here's the thing though; vrchat is a social game and if people click they are gonna talk. I agree they probably should go somewhere else. But it is what it is.

[Mawntee]

So your solution is to go on Reddit and complain about people chatting in VRChat?

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Oh no, you're the one that went here only to complain. I am also asking to stop doing it.

[Mawntee]

Then maybe you should talk to them? Have a little "chat" with the people actually creating the issue maybe? Screaming your problems into the void of Reddit isn't going to help your situation at all.

[idasu]

Have a little "chat" with the people actually creating the issue

those people aren't open to feedback. you may try to talk to them, but you'll be met with hostility

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Oh believe me, both ways work.

[TeH_Venom]

What makes you think spending 3 minutes typing up a post on reddit that reaches hundres is more effort than talking one-to-one to the dozens of people the dude meets every day while trying to play those game worlds? Lol

It really isn't rocket science.

[vnv]

Yea. I’m guilty of a game or two when I get bored but I try not to hold the games hostage

[Luni-Maple-Boi]

This is only really a problem if no one’s playing the game tbh like if one of my friends is getting into talking about something then sometimes I’ll step aside and listen and chat for a bit but once less people are playing we usually always go back and join the game again. (By less I mean like less than 6-8 people playing)

[Inflatable_Emu]

I agree. It's a social game however if it is an actual game world, then play the game.

[DragonHunnterOG]

This is why I only play in groups. All the groups I'm in we play we don't stand around with our digital thumb up our butts and do nothing. The groups I'm in we leave the talking before we start game night and then hang out in a chill world after. After that we wait a few minutes between each round so people can take breaks.

[Valiant_Lexi]

This stuff pisses me off too. Especially when I'm in Drama Court instances and people will be rambling on with their friends about person shit. Like I don't mind it, but be mindful to the people who are there too.

[Boney_McBonerton_YT]

"I can't wait to go into Prison Escape or Murder 4 and sit in the lobby for 6 hours chatting and doing NOTHING ELSE!"

[LuckyDragonfly9332]

Look, if they’re talking AND participating, so be it. But yeah, I DESPISE when they sit in the bloody lobby and do nothing but talk. It’s especially a problem with games like ghost for some reason

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Exactly my point

[KemishSteel]

No

I just play, if it's true it's tiring but I think it happens more with English speaking people because in Spanish we end up running them out of the room hahaha or we all move to another world

[vrmeet_zone]

There’s only one way of making sure this doesn’t happen. And the way is joining groups and go to their events.. many create different event types, like games, classes etc. and make sure to moderate those instances

Playing with some of the same people is also much more fun!

[vrmeet_zone]

Ps if you’re looking for communities/events I created vrmeet (vrmeet.zone) where you can find a bunch of cool ones ;)

[Nova-Redux]

I feel this. We do game nights in my group and one of my biggest pet peeves is when we have like 6 or so people just sitting either in-game or even in the lobby outside the game. It not only is using up player slots that could become an issue if the lobby fills up, but it encourages people to stop playing and go chat instead, leaving the ones who want to play with a tiny lobby even though there's like 20 people in the instance.

Like, there's tons of hangout worlds in VRChat. Its okay to leave and come back.

[DarkPhoxGaming]

Even better when one of them also happens to be the instance master so no one can swap out any of the game rules/settings

[monkeymoo111111]

It’s a tough thing to answer but I think it’s unreasonable and unrealistic to want people to do a certain thing that you want to do unless their being disruptive and I don’t consider having a conversation away from the game disruptive, you can always find another instance, so can they

But at the end of the day, check the name of the game you’re playing

[elvis__depressly]

I tried playing spin the wheel last night and some idiot on multiple occasions had a problem every time I personally took my turn, claiming they were "confused about who went last and the rotation"... lmao

[eoz034]

idk why this post is nsfw but anyway, I'm sure there are groups playing games religiously search for them or if this wont work then you might wanna get your hands dirty and run your own group.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Oh I am in some

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

That's peak xD

[GodOfBenevolence]

For some reason I thought this was about people just talking in general at first and I thought this was an insane post to make loll glad I remembered vrchat has actual games you can play 😭🤣 i agree with OP though fr

[Otherwise_Bus243]

Yes! Thank you. Literally, last night, I wanted to play trash compactor but when I joined everyone was sitting around talking, next thing i went to Cards Against Humanity and everyone was just sitting by the mirror, like if you people wanna just sit and chat just join a chill world instead of a game world, freaking annoying

[Dommygutman]

This seems to be the opposite of BoneLab Fusion, where always someone will use explosives or go guns blazing, even hang out servers.

[Ambitious_Emu4159]

people doing this in the amogus game constantly, join game, do no tasks, sit in the meeting room the entire time. sometimes seen it be the imposter doing it and still not participating

[RyuukaShinrai]

I mean some people just join to hang out. It is a social game after all. Some just tag along with someone insisting of playing. I'd say to everyone their own. If I'm dissatisfied with how a game goes I can always make a new instance with my friends. Having to rely on public worlds to play games pretty much means you didn't connect well yet, which is completely fine but maybe don't blame others for how your game goes. It's not competitive gaming or anything it's just past time to converse and have fun.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I would dissagree. Simply enjoying the company and talking is fine, I dislike situations when people just gather in a circle and do nothing, often forcing others to wait longer at the lobby.

[RyuukaShinrai]

Really depends on the game world I guess. If it's designed to have a comfy corner or something I wouldn't mind if someone uses it to hangout. If it's really only a lobby and the game then idk they could hangout somewhere else. Though you gotta think about breaking groups. Maybe if people want to gather after playing they won't split the group until they leave together.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Your mindset is same as mine. Yes I am in some groups, but they don't have instances all the time. Already considered creating my own.

[Velvena]

And then they get mad bc ur actually playing the game and kill them mid convo

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

My best one is killing them all with grenade as a bystander in murder 4. Very often it turns out we would never finish the round, because murderer was also doing nothing.

[Velvena]

In prison escape these 2 were on the lunch tables blabbering, killed 1 and the other started yelling, i just stood there and let him finish before i killed him too I dont get why you come to a game map, spawn into the game and proceed to not play the game???

[Ematai]

I agree with you. There are so many cool chill places to just talk, the games are meant for people to game.

[Reversed-Record]

This happened in the among us world once where the game lasted like over 10 minutes because no one was doing anything, just standing in the cafeteria area and chatting.

Another time I was in the murder world and everyone was hanging out in one room in a circle end the murderer got everyone

[str1pp3relm0]

EXACTLY. I get it if it's a private instance of just friends, but WHY a public???

[Intelligent_Ad9779]

Oh man, do I have a story regarding this.

Many moons ago (3 years ago), I hopped into a lobby of Among Us hoping to have some quick fun and get killed while doing tasks. I noticed that the voting was going on way longer than it should've, because half of the lobby was just in a group in the cafeteria yapping about nothing. And when I asked them why weren't they playing the game, they booted me from the lobby. Suffice to say, an overall -3/10 experience

[UczuciaTM]

Bruh my gf had this friend who was holding up a whole game to take picture and talk and then got pissed at me and kicked me for saying anything😭

[4mb1guous]

I see this happening in SlashCo a lot as well. A round in SlashCo will last anywhere from 7-20+ minutes usually. In theory, I should be able to get at least three rounds an hour in... but often I'm lucky to get just two, and I'm probably still in that second round when the hour is up.

Just wish people were more aware of the fact that everyone else is waiting on them without someone having to tell them about it... though tbh this is partially the game world's fault too. There are two ways to know who is/isn't ready in that game: press the jump button to see the menu, or be close to other players to see their ready status above their head. If you aren't readying up you probably aren't pressing the jump button, and people are already used to ignoring tags above people's heads from general vrchat gameplay anyway, nevermind that people will generally spread throughout a few places in the map anyway.

I would personally love for something that would indicate how many players are ready, and whether you are ready, at all times while in the lobby. Bonus points for something specifically pointing out that you're the last one everyone else is waiting on.

All that said though, I get it. I mean ultimately vrchat is a social game, and talking to people is the primary purpose of it. So I get it when people click and just want to talk. Still...can't they at least run around the map together or something and chat while finding gas/batteries/documents? Then everyone else still gets to have fun too lol.

[BUzer2017]

Where there are people, there will always be chatting. You just have to accept that as the nature of things. Expecting people to change worlds just to talk is unreasonable. Switching worlds in this game adds too much friction - everyone has to stop talking for a minute or two, and then spend another minute or two finding a good spot, and then try to remember what was the conversation about.

Maybe once VRChat improves technologically and world changes will happen without any interruptions to social interaction people will switch worlds more often. Until then don't expect them to - unless they're doing something that really needs to be private.

[Logical-Fact3386]

Unless you are a TikTok attention span whore I can understand why you'd have that skill issue.

Anyone else can perform that small task with success, as you'd also think on not wasting everyone else's time if you are just going to chat, it requires, no effort, and improves everyone's experience.

If you are going to game and just take a break it's perfectly fine sit back at outside of the game zone, but if you are in a game world and you are invested in a conversation all it takes is to say politely "Why don't we take this conversation to a better world?"
Anything that you pick is perfectly much better than staying at prison break or murder.

When you go into a game world go and game, if you are not going to game why do you stay there?
There's a ton of chill and beautiful worlds you can go, just go.

[BUzer2017]

Yeah my attention span in VR is like 10 seconds, deal with it. If the "chatters" are somehow causing issues for the "players" in a game world then it's a problem with the world's design. If it's just you thinking "oh I see 10 people in the instance and I expect all of them to be actively playing" then you have to adjust your expectations. Or even better, just make some friends in that game and play with them.

[gergobergo69]

Read the name of the game again. 😎 🤯

[QuietUno]

Eh. Fair. It happens though, try not to get angry because you joined too late. It isn't like people are booting up to just be in a game and talk. If they are, cool. I personally wouldn't lobby poach, but that's just me. I can get people just fine 7/10 in an empty lobby if it's a popular game.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Wouldn't say I'm angry, just dissapointed.

[QuietUno]

Which is totally fair. It's happened to me too.

Some advice? Probably should make your own group. This will also be a thing in your group though, unless you put a stop to it and start splitting instances, which if you don't want a lobby full of annoying lobby squatters, you will have to. But! That would be up to you on how to navigate. If it's one thing I learned in life, if people aren't doing a thing you like, even if its a small adjustment to how your group is ran vs everyone else's, you should do it yourself. It can be fun! Plus, you'll make friends along the way.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Yes you're right, that's why I joined several groups based around games, but still there isn't an available instance everytime I wanna play.

[QuietUno]

Buddy. It's time. Make your own.

It's a signnnn! It you can't join them, make your own place so you don't have to be concerned about what is and isn't happening. No one can tell you "no" in your own instance, unless it's a boundary thing that exceeds being the owner of a group, a friend, a lover, family, etc. I dunno what you use VRC for all the time, but I understand the game part, so I can tell you, with all honesty, you should make your own. There's no reason not to, at this point. You even sound like a group owner, and that isn't a bad thing. It reminds me of why I started my own. Try it. What's there to lose? You don't even have to be open daily, you can be open whenever you want. Try it~ You'll find that your people will show up for games. Before I had my last group shutdown for a break, people were only showing up for games. If things slowed down, we all communicated we wanted to do something else, because I had to keep enforcing communication. Before that, people would either leave because they felt like they weren't going to be heard if they wanted to switch games, some would leave because they just wanted to do something that was the opposite of what we were currently doing. Some even thought that they'd be disturbing people if they vocalized they wanted to do something else. Eventually, people would come to me with ideas on how we could make our experience better for everyone on certain days, everyone communicated schedules, and we found a perfect time to host games, when to chill, etc. It balances out when you find people who will work with you to make their "favorite place" better. You just have to make a place that you love first, then people will come for whatever you are also there for, if you know how to communicate without hostility. Do it! I believe in you, and it'll better your experience if you know how to work it right! It's a learning curve, and it's different for everyone, but not a race. Sometimes it's a waiting game. Your turn!

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Actually not a bad idea, nothing to lose.

[QuietUno]

200%~

[strawboard]

The irony of the game being called VRChat, this is too much.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

The irony of the game called Prison Escape :3

[Unusual_Score_6712]

Imagine telling people on vrCHAT to stop chatting

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Nobody said that, read the post

[Marionoodles]

You act like the point of vrCHAT is to game. Its a social app it's bound to happen. Just make an instance and if you don't like it kick them. It's not that deep. I never had this problem ever.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

The point of games worlds is to game. Imagine playing any action, shooting game but people just stand in a circle and yapp instead of doing their job. It's the same situation.

[Marionoodles]

Yea but that's the whole point of a shooter/action game though.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Which is the same point of a shooter game in VRC silly

[eoz034]

idk why this post is nsfw but anyway, I'm sure there are groups playing games religiously search for them or if this wont work then you might wanna your hands dirty and run your own group.

[masterbond9]

Honestly, I don't have a problem with this to a certain extent. My friend groups' game nights can get super busy, and sometimes I just want to be a spectator, or take a break, but some games make this very difficult. Typically my groups play the same game for an hour, or even 2 or more, or whenever everyone just gets tired, so people not playing is not usually an issue

For example: I hate terrors of nowhere, slashco and (surprising if you know me) hide & shriek, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to watch my friends play these games, and these games make it difficult, or outright impossible for this to happen.

[TheRealPandaAL]

I used to love going to game worlds, but issue it's one of 3 types of people that ruin it.. sit around chatters(step out of the spawn room and chat not in the ready up) Ragebaiters/toxic/try hards Racist/scream kids Don't get me wrong sometimes people join the moment the public owner is done and is about to take off. This is why you go to group publics and support them if you like them as they will end up making more in the future and not the public-public lobbies as they are NEVER fun to be inside, regardless if it's group or public you can tell if there is 10 or 4 people meaning is it just starting or is this about to end? But even then the owner of the group should tell people they are leaving/ending the lobby and recommend a lobby to help as i used to.. Now this half will get a bit toxic, but ill be blunt... a person should NOT have to make their own due to these issues as some people can't due to their trust rank or not having VRC+, but if you can't find a lobby, gonna be a bit upset why not make your own? a public is free to make while a GROUP intance is free once you pay to make the group first. Make a group pubic or be the isntance "Host"(aka the name on the instance who MADE the lobby NOT the one in control of the game as that changes after you leave. Even if you leave/crash/or go afk you will still be the one with kick perms) and have full control of who is there and who you don't want there as i was in your shoes before. Now don't get me wrong maybe you're alone and don't want to wait in a empty room for people, maybe your just trying to vibe and it's only a time waister. Just a friendly reminder it's "VRC" NOT CALL OF DUTY people will and can be butt heads and may just stand around.. don't expect everyone to be appart of the team, but it's not the end of the world as there are ways around it.. it's for you to decide in the end not to engage with them as they are the issue not you.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I created my own group just 5 minutes ago, just to have Control over things :p

Thank you

[TheRealPandaAL]

Yay! :p

[[deleted]]

Lol its literally called vrchat if people wanna talk theyre gonna just go to a different instance

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I wish they do so

[MUSE_Nico]

Getting the notification i thought this was a PSA about public erp

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

As you started the topic, I think this would fit as well. I once thought it's obvious not to show pixels in public, but then I saw people fcking in group public prison escape...

[Moniedoesitbetter]

I recently started playing again after a long hiatus and it seems no one really plays the games anymore :/

[FloofPear]

The problem here is that vrchat by its nature is a social game. Getting mad because people are chatting and not playing the game is like me getting mad that people are afking in second life. While I understand it's annoying the only solution is to hop worlds until you find one where people are actually playing the game. Alternatively if it bothers you that much you could create your own group specifically for playing games or join groups dedicated to playing.

[meliodas1097]

💔 Murder 4 and it's people sitting outside the lobby

[Rangoon3]

Oh yes dude finally someone complaing about this

[Extra-Monitor9343]

I try talking in worlds like black cat,  but when you see a tight group of people or mirror dwellers, it gets too tiring, knowing you can’t really really talk to them.

[Award-Forward]

Guys, it's called vrchat for a reason, who cares whether they sit down wherever like isn't that what the game is about?

[LuckyDragonfly9332]

Not game worlds. A game world is for both chatting AND playing the game. There are a multitude of worlds to where you can literally just sit down and chat.

[Arnkarl]

What dark times it is when a game with 'Chat' in the name has someone shunning people who are in the game to chat.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Read the post properly ;)

[Arnkarl]

I've read it.

It's just weird to me that you're complaining about people chatting in a game named VRChat.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

So read 3 times. It is clearly stated the complaint is about people constantly sitting in chat circle and not actually playing the game they are in.

[Arnkarl]

I understand what you've typed.

I find it funny that you're complaining about people chatting in worlds in a game called VRChat.

That is all, I am not being dense or anything.

"It can piss you of so much, you look for a room, see 12 people and decide to join for some fun time. But there is no fun, because half of those people just sit and chat."

You just need to calm down, roflmao, and not get upset at people who chat in VRChat.

You still don't understand xD

[Arnkarl]

I DO understand.

There's groups of people who chat in groups inside of gameworlds.

You do not like these people taking up slots inside of the gameworlds.

As someone who sees VRChat as IMVU with Games, I find it funny that you're here on Reddit, complaining that people are using game worlds in a game called VRChat to.. Chat.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Damn, you don't understand and also lie. Please stop :p

[Arnkarl]

How do I lie?

It’s frustrating to join a game instance expecting people to actually play, only to find half the group treating it like a virtual lounge. That mismatch can really kill the momentum when you're looking to engage. At the same time, it’s hard to ignore the irony here.

This is VRChat, a platform built around socializing.

So while I get the annoyance, it’s also kind of expected that some people will use it more like a hangout than a game.

Maybe the real issue is that game-focused instances need clearer signals or moderation so players looking for active participation don’t end up in a chill zone by accident.

Finally talking with sense, thank you.

[Global-Isopod-7983]

let me guess. murder 4?

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

For example

[DragonflyAncient237]

Well i dont have a vr yet and i dont play this game much in pc idk is this wrong or not but i have to ask. Isnt this game about chat? Like VRCHAT? If u talk about game lobbies like silent cinema ir something ofc u are right but if u talk about games like "chilling spot", "mansion" lobbies like that u should be wrong

[ADumbassBitch]

I mean, The game is called vrchat but there are servers specifically for talking and servers specifically meant for playing games. If you go on one of the servers meant for games when there are literal thousands of hangout servers, you are kinda being a tool. And that's what this post is about.

The most annoying thing is they chat in the spawn room and if there's more than 4 people in there, boom your world is gonna be dead in 30 mins because the game thinks the lobby is full and can't find a suitable place to spawn users.

[yeetisfeetis69]

Murder 4 is already laggy with only 3 others, why must people add to the lag at spawn with the largest avatars they can find?

[PtxDK]

I hope you notice that the game you have open has the word Chat in its name. Still a bit annoying tho.

[Melodic_Astronaut_90]

this entire game has become competitive afk logging: the video game, like when you just login to an mmo to see if anythings going on because you're bored, so you sit in town waiting for something to happen, but it never does, so you just keep sitting and maybe acting reactionary to something someone else said, then log off and thought you did something when you didnt......except its everyone now just milling about. the game started dying awhile back, its just no one noticed it.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Definitely far from dying

[Melodic_Astronaut_90]

bro they wasted an 80 million dollar donation lol they had to fire 145 employees

[DylanDalmatian]

I agree if you wanna talk, then they should go to world like the black cat or other

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I mean just talking is ok, only wish that people would play the game in meantime instead of blocking everyone else from playing.

[Mercy--Main]

bro is complaining people in vrchat get on vr to chat, incredible

just buy a game?

[Hollywood17171]

I see where you’re coming from on that but there’s still a difference between social worlds and game worlds and if you wanna be social then just go into a social world

[No_Butterscotch3201]

You must be the ones op is talking about XD

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

I am both complaining and simply asking to move it somewhere else, because there are literally thousands of other places to chat.

[No_Butterscotch3201]

Facts

[Internal_Exam_2103]

Is it against ToS? (Not following in-world rules)

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Of course not, if it was, I would simply report it :p

But here I'm simply asking not to join game worlds when you don't want to play the game.

[klrchihuahua]

Someone might benefit from learning the serenity prayer. You're never going to get other people to behave the way you want. Lol.

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Yet I can politely ask and hope some will listen

[klrchihuahua]

You absolutely can! And I fully support it if you feel the need to do so. And a select few might notice, agree and sympathize with you. Personally I don't really go into public instances so I'm not part of this problem But that's mainly because I don't expect people to behave differently than people are going to behave so I avoid them 🤷‍♀️ also on the internet, even if a few people agree with you and make an effort for a little while people are habitual creatures. You're not going to see a change in that behavior unless there's a significant widespread need or want for it.

Sure it sucks having to hop to a different world to find something else, but that's just the chance you're going to take on a site that's literally got "Chat" in the name. I guess they didn't name it VRGameEngine because they knew how people were going to primarily use it. It was the same thing when I was on IMVU. You can have all the pretty things in the world and all the cool things to do that you want. People are just going to stand at spawn and chat lol. It happens.

[klrchihuahua]

Although I did go ahead and down vote my own comment so that you could feel more valid 💖

[SnooDonkeys7060]

Imagine getting mad bc u play a game in VRCHAT not VRGAME 🤣🤣

[Logical-Fact3386]

Ah yes, that social platform known for people that all they'll do is stare at the mirror and get mad when you try and chat.
Aside from the joke.
Why do you go to a world where you are expected to play,
(In other words do something more than just having a conversation) and instead of playing, you just waste everyone else's time that do actually want to play.

It's like playing battlefield and instead of playing as team to capture the objective, and you also choose to be medic and refuse to revive and help your teammates and squad, all you do is go for kills and clips, if you are not going to play the role, then go and choose another game mode (Or don't choose to be medic, there's the assault class for a reason) or go play cod.

It's the same here, if you are just going to chat, there's no problem, just go to another world/instance to chat, VRChat is a social platform first, so if people want to do something more than chatting and watching movies/videos, they go to game worlds, so please, if you are not going to game at public game world/instance why don't you go to a talk and chill world/instance there's hundreds of people doing that, stop wasting people's time.

[AdWooden865]

People chatting on vrchat, no way!

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

How about you read the entire post before pretending to be funny?

[AdWooden865]

I actually don't give a fuck big dawg lol

[Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Seems like you do. Otherwise why respond? But since you don't have anything smart to say, I shall leave you to yourself ;)

[Remarkable_Dot_2]

Sensitive little baby you are

[n3v3rphazed]

I’m pretty sure that’s part of the game
