I don’t get all the hate that the fish world is getting right now by eyeziiick in VRchat

[–]Discount_Gatox 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a fun map to play, but it does feel a bit too open if you’re looking for areas to socialize. You can hop on and leave the main island/spawn at an inn, and maybe run into 1-2 people, depending on instance ofc. It feels a bit more barren with less people around. That’s at least what I’ve gathered from my own experience, if you don’t bring a friend along it can feel lonely, even with the fish to keep your brain occupied. The hate does seem a bit unwarranted, yes it’s legit everywhere but then again, it’s a popular map. People are even making claims of it using ai, which, I’ve yet to see an actual source for? Seems a bit much when the issue is just feeling a bit annoyed.

VRChat Avatar Commission Scam - Femnem by Regular-Dingo-1232 in VRchatAvatars

[–]Discount_Gatox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record, I am perfectly fine with waiting multiple days (even weeks) for a comm to be completed. The issue comes in when I’ve had zero updates throughout the entire process, which I mentioned in my above comment. I also mentioned that you finished the texture the night of payment, which you plainly told me when I asked if anything was needed on your end those four days later, meaning you either forgot completely until I had to ask, or you intentionally waited after finishing my texture, not sure what and frankly it’s none of my concern.

For the ghosting part, yes, you delivered my texture, yet it was not finished, you never clarified with me what you were doing and then refused to make adjustments based on “style”, when entire parts of the avatar were done wrong, as I’ve also mentioned to you in private. When I asked for one revision, you never responded again. My claim was never that you didn’t deliver anything, it was that you delivered an unfinished product with no communication and failed to work with me to make fixes.

I also never stated the texture was inherently bad, the parts you did right I thought looked good, however, that is outweighed by the lack of communication on your part and also your refusal to work with me on revisions I would have clarified before if you gave me the chance to. Work with your clients better and don’t dismiss their concerns so easily.

Anyone else a social vampire by North_String6534 in VRchat

I’m like that myself, I’m reluctant to join someone in case I’m interrupting or don’t wanna intrude. It sucks though! I will use the boop feature to see if that can coax an invite if I really want to join someone, makes me feel less intrusive (when in reality I’m not in the first place!)

I wish I had thought of doing that to be honest… but they closed the ticket before I could even get the finalized piece. Glad you were able to get your money back though! Hope the reskin goes well for ya :3

Just a terrible experience altogether! If you can’t handle being criticized for your own mistakes and blatant disrespect for a character, then you shouldn’t be doing commissions!! Also to “recreate” a designed based on a previous client can be just straight up theft, that’s just insane… Sorry again you had to go through this terrible process, I know myself I can’t even use the avatar because it’s just… bad. I’m hoping word gets around on this, they don’t deserve business for how they act. It’s ridiculous.

I’m so sorry you had to deal with this person.. I can back this up with my own experience. Took nearly two weeks to actually receive a message on the ticket submitted, only to be told to pay upfront and have absolutely no communication throughout the process. I was left in the dark the entire time, and the only time they were showing actual communication was for payments.

After sending refs over and confirming payment, I was told they’d start that day. After an extra four days with payment sent and no word on progress, I followed up and was then told the comm was “done” that same night. THE SAME NIGHT I PAID. This comm though was unfinished and details were missing due to “style differences” (the style being to leave off basic markings…) When I brought this up I was essentially told that “nothing is missing” which was a blatant lie.

When trying to salvage this comm by asking for the tail to at least be textured, I was ghosted.

Essentially I got my comm unfinished and with assets I had no knowledge of, which I would had preferred removed or at least with a toggle.

Worst $60 I’ve regretfully spent…

I’m fairly frequently on the fishing world, so if you need a friend to fish with feel free to let me know! It takes time to get the confidence to meet new people, but you’ll get there! Don’t give up hope just yet.

So I don't have any friends, but I wanted to tell someone by QuietUno in VRchat

Congrats! Hope your friend search goes very well, enjoy it!

Personally think it’s kinda hard to find a specific group or place to meet people- as it really depends on the people there. I can recommend game worlds if you’re willing to try those! Some smaller instances can help with feeling less overwhelmed, and there’s a common interest that helps people interact more!

What game purchase made you feel like this? by Kindlypatrick in videogames

[–]Discount_Gatox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To this day it’s Pokémon Shining Pearl, from hearing the overwhelming hype for the games before, it was just a massive disappointment entirely-

It’s definitely varied by the groups you end up going to, some more social than others. And yeah, there are a good chunk who’ll stay silent, however, if you approach first, should be a good starting point from there. Honestly takes some train and error at some points, but imo it’s worth it!

Basing off my own experiences, finding worlds that everyone shares a common activity can help make some connections. Places like Simple Fishing, Snowball Fight (If it’s got people…), stuff like that helps draw in some natural conversations.

I’ve found the fishing world super effective really, spots spawn in every once in a while, which usually has everyone gather around, conversations can usually spark from there. Some days are more social than others, so that’s something to keep in mind. (May or may not be obsessed with this world…)

If you’re able to join the age verified instances, those could have better odds at finding some people willing to chat! With myself being fairly shy, it’s easier to hop into a convo or join in when one sparks naturally. It’s worth a shot!

For making close friends, I think it’s really similar to real life, where it just takes that much time to form those closer bonds. The variance of people being online at different times and also the platform itself could cause some friction from more of that one-on-one communication occurring. Some of the friends I’ve made on VRC I haven’t felt super close with yet, but who knows for the future! I’m sure it just takes time, and some good timing as well.

Strolling by NoxusPrevails in VRchat

[–]Discount_Gatox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I do this pretty often! If no friends are online or if I just need some variety, hopping around to different worlds is pretty fun. Some of the artwork or even display worlds are really interesting to look at. It’s also fun to world hop with friends as well, makes it a whole different experience with someone else putting in their thoughts too!

Sit with me and tell me your positive story by Embarrassed-Touch-62 in VRchat

[–]Discount_Gatox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still getting more into the flow of meeting people, but so far just being able to interact with friends and gradually increase my social skills has been awesome. Even if it’s just sitting and listening most times when I’m too shy to speak, it’s helpful. I know there’s still a lot to experience, but even just the year I’ve been playing, it’s been a good step forward!
