Nameplate indicator to show if another user can see your current avatar, it's fallback, or it's imposter.

It would be very nice when performing at a venue dancing or doing other performance based content to tell if the audience can even see your current avatar. Would lead to more performers using optimized avatars I believe once they finally realized that the vast majority of the audience can't even see them.

Just curious how many votes it takes for something to be acknowledged by the dev/support staff? 250 seems like a reasonable number of people who are at least interested in the feature?

П I П Λ  Similar post linked below by shybits is around 1.5k votes.
Was previously tracked, then removed from tracking.   It would be a great feature, but I don't know if an when it would happen.
Tupper did give it the Ol'  "good idea"  (Twitter post linked at bottom by BluWizard)  so maybe there is hope

П I П Λ

Sphyxia Ah, well, here I was being hopeful. If a mention of this feature with 1.5k isn't getting traction, my question is answered. Thanks for letting me know.

I'd say this is the same suggestion as this one: https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/icon-to-tell-you-player-does-not-see-your-model

Maybe they can be merged?

Feel like this would help incentivize people to optimize their creations more and I'm all for it.

It could be useful maybe. It would also make a lot of my friends disappointed in me for not having their avatars enabled though.
The main issue I see is that rather or not another player can see your avatar depends on that user's local settings, so you would have to query the status of your avatar's visibility from other's point of view almost constantly if you want it to be reliable. That or go back to the old days of sending network events every time you change the avatar visibility setting on someone, which was originally removed because it was a lot of pointless moderation actions being sent.
It would be funny for the e-girl and e-boy avatar users though, having them realize that a lot of people block their avatars because they are so badly optimized. But that should seriously be made the social norm for people, more awareness that "Very Poor" performance rated avatars are BAD, and not acceptable.

An indicator that said person is still downloading you would also be nice.

This would actually be peak

i would love this. while it absolutely wouldnt stop people from wearing unoptimized avatars (they don't care anyway) as a mute theres always an awkward moment where i have to wait for someone to fully show my avatar while im trying to show off a toggle, so it'd be nice to know when someone has my avatar hidden

Slow Bro

This is actually genius

Sphyxia

This would solve people having horribly unoptimized avatars almost overnight. Spread the word!
