This is a feature I’ve been wanting for awhile.
How often is it that you are changing from hanging out with just a few friends in a home world on a week night watching youtube, then later in the evening you want to party at a big club with 70+ people.
This usually entails me changing several options every single time:
- Change my Avatar from Very Poor to a Optimized club avatar
- Change my social status from orange to green, and change status text
- Change Anti Aliasing from 8X to disabled
- Change Safety settings to hide avatars of visitors and new users
- Change max downloaded avatar size to 50MB from 200MB
- Change poorly optimized avatars from “don’t block” to “poor & below”
- Change graphics quality from Ultra to Medium
- Turn on Ear Muff Mode
- Turn off avatar cloning
- Turn down world volume from 100% to 85% (Who here likes loading into a club world with your ears bleeding when the DJ loads at max volume as your lag to change it to a reasonable level without clipping.)
Now this is just my use case, but I see many of my friends shuffling through their menus before we head into a busy world after we were just watching movies during the week.
Such Savable user profiles/presets could change even more Like:
- Safety settings
- User Interactions/Posing
- Change your fallback avatar
- Change your microphone/headphones (I would love to have a Desktop profile, and a HMD profile, and never need to fuss with my headset/mic stuff again)
- Turn on or off personal space
- Change your home instance type, and portal drop security modes
- Change Text box and OSC settings
- Change Controls and key binds (Heck, even Id have different profiles for when I am in full body and when I am not in full body)
- Change UI settings, like hiding usernames to make clubs more immersive
- Change UI opacity/colors/etc., Id make my profile backgrounds different on each, so I could know which mode I was in just by glancing.
Essentially you get it all setup just how you like it, go to a new tab in the settings menu, and hit save, and name the profile. Bam, next time you want all of those settings, its ONE Button away. I get this might be a fairly advanced setting, but if they add it to the game, people don’t have to use it if they don’t want to.
