Open Beta

This is a bug report and a feature request. The new nameplate system completely trashes group banners, which didn't have a great standard (or any standard, for that matter), to begin with. Currently, on live, a (mostly) consistent group banner means uploading a mostly transparent picture with the actual banner in the middle. This is wasting tons of space that could be actually used to show other art or graphics on the group page. The image scales very poorly on some parts of the site, as well. Our uploaded group banner is 2000x1126, following this unofficial guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/10e11hb/groups_banner_guide/ The main group page shows the original 2000x1126. A group event page with no custom thumbnail 1024x576 The groups landing page scales the image to 256x144. This is extremely bad if you have made a banner with transparency, as per above. I'm sure there are many more exposed within the client itself and maybe other parts of the website. But I think this is a good demonstration of how wildly inconsistent this group feature is. And now on beta with the new nameplate, we see just a few pixels of the group banner. This is effectively useless now for representing a visual of your group. I've attached a picture showing some of these inconsistencies.

Pronoun truncation currently does not change by nameplate size. See image (courtesy of boxofbiscuits97) where the nameplate gets longer, but the truncation does not change. If the nameplate increases in length, truncate less.

The new uniform spacing on friends wing requires significantly more effort to process. When I look at that menu now it honestly just feels like mush, I can't quickly tell where a new world starts and where the friends in that world end, etc. When you have enough friends and you need to scroll this list quickly, it becomes a real point of frustration. I imagine this will get worse as profile decorations are rolled out and names start to look closer to world banner images. The old design was much easier to parse, as the only gaps were between the end of the friends in a world, and the start of the next world.

Please add the ability to create recurring events in the event calendar. My group has 6 weekly events, and recreating them every time is frustrating

There is a major UX discrepancy in describing something as "Mutuals" without distinguishing Groups and Friends into two distinct categories. Without the distinction, people immediately assume the term "Mutuals" refers to individuals, as opposed to BOTH individuals and groups. These should be separated to avoid confusion, or the 'Mutuals" are should be renamed to something better suited. Unfortunately, I don't know anything short and sweet, but it may be better to just name it something closer to "Relations" instead.

WIthin the new avatar menu, it becomes impossible to change fallbacks, whether it's a public/legacy avatar on the Explore tab, or if it's a Fallback avatar uploaded by you.

Since we now have a looks system for saving presets for avatar accessories, it would be an excellent opportunity to extend this feature to cover the much-requested feature of saving avatar parameter presets. As an example: Editing a look should show the avatar in it current state (instead of the default as it does now) or perhaps there should be a button to sync the state to match how it is in game. Saving the look should save all saved parameters to the look. And loading a look should restore all saved parameters to those saved values, along with the attached accessories. This would also solve the issue of default-disabled transforms not showing up in the looks editor. This would be a big boon especially to marketplace avatars, who currently have to implement complex animator systems to provide save slots.

Currently, the calendar uses Sunday as the first day of the week, but it would be helpful to offer an option to set Monday as the first day, in accordance with ISO 8601.

Much like how you are able to set certain groups to "Friends only", I want only people who I have added to be able to see my mutual friends.

Please allow us the ability to: hide or remove a single event from our calendar without having to leave the group which added it. Some events you're just not interested in, so no need to have it listed. hide, remove, or prevent the adding of all events from a group, again without having to leave the group. Some groups you may join just for their clever banner, but not wish to participate in their events.
