What do you value the most with your SLR Premium subscription?
g2kbuffetboy What does Wank community do better or why do you prefer it over SLR community? Be honest. 
metichemsi This feedback is much appreciated 
Happy to have you here. We really are a bunch of passionate VR geeks 
The best value for me is the JAV Library.
I'm still mad about the brutal ending of R18... 
and It's too bad that DMM are not open to add VR studio here because we miss some of the best JAV VR video..
Hidding studio/actress/genre is very nice too.
proslr What does Wank community do better or why do you prefer it over SLR community? Be honest.
Hi @proslr well I didn't quite say that in those words (I am more active on SLR forums now than Wankz forums), but Wankz has been around longer. years before SLR had a forum. At SLR, I joined as a premium subscriber pretty much as soon as the service launched, and I joined the forum as soon as it launched too. If you look at my profile, Feb 2020 is my forum join date here. At Wankz, my join date was 2016 (along with many other VR porn enthusiasts). So, naturally, all the OGs of the VR porn community converse there. It generally has a much more fun vibe, people know each other's personalities, watching habits, to a certain extent even personal lives... there are a lot more shoot-the-shit threads talking about other things than just Wankz itself. It is a good community that's not so hyper-focused on their own product.
Here at SLR community, it's much more business-minded, a lot more heated debates and frustrating conversations. A lot of people here don't seem to get along, and there can be a ton of hostility, which is never a good thing.
However, as I mentioned originally, the thing I really do appreciate about the SLR forums is that because it is more business-minded. No other studio receives and incorporates feedback as much as SLR does. Yes, it depends on the director, team, crew, technology limitations, etc, but I actually feel like my requests/feedbacks are being heard here. So many other studios don't have that. The Wankz team do read all the threads on the forum, but they do not respond like the SLR team does here. Also, SLR Originals (for my personal preferences) are pretty much where my interest lies (I don't use the SLR app anymore), and to me, SLRO content is some of the best out there, some scenes by a long shot. So I appreciate that.

What I currently value most about SLR:
- Great SLR Originals content library
- Access to content library from other good studios like VRSpy, VRHush, etc.
- Legendary closeup missionary and leaning in cowgirl shots in SLR Originals
- Ability to download videos at master quality (at the camera's full bitrate ~ 120 Mbps).
- Great camera quality (ignoring the experiments and the occasional odd-ball).
- Investments in the future: Alpha passthrough, AR background replacement, 6DOF, etc.
- Community engagement and open to casting suggestions.
What I used to value about SLR (it's still better than a majority of other studios):
- In my opinion, casting was insanely good around 2021 and 2022 (when Philip was the casting director). There were lots of SLR Originals with young, rising stars in porn and with objectively beautiful girls (based on western beauty standards). The casting is still good today and it could be better if the casting was more consistent (e.g. have certain number of SLR Originals per month with rising stars or with objectively beautiful girls).
- Most new girls got an SLR Originals debut with closeup missionary shots. However, since PT came into the picture, new girls debuting in the east coast (e.g. Florida), don't have have any closeup missionary shots in PT. This makes me wish the girls would be cast again in an SLR Original with a director that does closeup missionary shots.
I like that can create my own playlists.
MickyCheese Casting was better with Philip for sure
it seems like i might be in the minority on this one, but i think SLR staff does take user suggestions into account.
timely content updates and scripts are nice. theres always something new to watch.
g2kbuffetboy I joined the forum as soon as it launched too. If you look at my profile, Feb 2020
Still a bit late to party tho.. lol
I think you were converted into an SLR fan the day they quoted your feedback and put your username on their homepage, and @justsomedude101 was officially converted when doublevr made him a moderator. Just saying.
kurtis316 and @justsomedude101 was officially converted when doublevr made him a moderator.
I think it was basically like 2 weeks between being made a mod and shifting to actual employment with SLR, so you're not far off. Technically nothing is preventing me from still posting on other forums like I used to back in the day, but I think it would feel disingenuous.
proslr Hell yea you are, at the core that is what has kept me here more than anything, these damn forums. I feel like I stay on the bleeding edge of VR gear and tech developments. Dont forget to fill us in on that damn canon mod 
Scripts! Thanks to @RealcumberScripts and everyone else on the team for working so hard and striving for excellence. No other company comes close regarding script quality + quantity, as well as value.
Some companies have no real way of interacting with staff. Those that embrace feedback and respond to it with active forums will always be appreciated, and I would add WVR and CVR (sometimes) to that group of responsive companies, even though those two have dropped the ball re scripts IMHO.
I was pretty sceptical of passthrough, but recent scenes have finally, I think, proven the value of the idea. When done well (and that's no easy task) it's a very cool and immersive concept.
My only real criticism is the insistence of DEO as being the only way to stream the service. It's totally understandable - if you want to watch Netflix you have to use the Netflix app. It's just Heresphere is a vastly superior player, in terms of advanced features and image correction, especially when combined with XBVR. DEO has a pretty interface and great features for passthrough, haptics, VR cam girls, streaming, but falls down in terms of controls, image correction and previews / tags / ratings of downloaded scenes. My internet also sucks, so streaming 8k content is not viable for me.
justsomedude101 You're a company man toeing the company line now so you still come across as disingenuous.
Hairsational You're a company man toeing the company line now so you still come across as disingenuous.
Yeah, could be. Not much to be done about it

In short, I value the scene quality and the scenes that include my favorites performers.
I enjoy the forums that have some open and constructive discussion, but that is secondary to the scenes themselves.
My tastes:
- I prefer downloading over streaming via the app.
- I always download the highest quality non-original version.
- I like that SLR often has an earlier release of many shared studios over a competitor like POVR, but I have also found that POVR’s downloaded file birates can be better. Since I want the best quality for my favorite scenes, I will often subscribe and replace these scenes when they are released later on POVR.
- I prefer BG over a large BGGG+ scene. BGG is usually only a repeat watch if I like both performers equally. Large harem scenes are not for me, as I will be trying to peek at the left back corner to my favorite performer while especially trying to ignore the 2 girls in the foreground chatting at me.
- I have no interest in scripts or passthrough scenes.
For the studios, my favorites on this site, in order, are:
- SLRO
- VRSpy
- AlexNashVR
- SODCreate
- SexBabesVR
- RealJamVR
- VRHush
- VREdging
- SinsVR
- FuckPassVR
Current performers who are “instant resubs” for me if they have a new scene that appears to be decently shot well, in order:
- Freya Parker
- Angela White
- Jessica Ryan
- Kylie Page
- Melody Marks
- Lily Lou
- Natasha Nice
- Cassie del Isla
- Gianna Dior
- Blake Blossom
- Brooklyn Gray
- Lacy Lennon
- Kendra Sunderland
- Alex Coal
- Annabel Redd
- Lily Larimar
- Alyx Star
and any of my favorite retired or “hasn’t shot in VR yet” performers that would be too numerous to name.
kurtis316 Oh you're right lol. My first prem SLR subscription was in 2018. I changed over to annual in 2020, then lifetime in 2021. So you got me beat =)
Anyways, my point is, the Wankz forum has been bustling for several more years than SLR's forum, and especially when VR was very young, a lot of the early adopters had a lot more feedback to share with producers and fellow consumers. This is back when VR was still trying to figure things out. I mean, seeing how you, yourself have been around for a long time, I'm sure you know how different the Wankz forum is. Wankz is like the bar you hang out with your VR buddies. SLR is more like tech and VR meetups for users and producers haha.
kurtis316 I think you were converted into an SLR fan the day they quoted your feedback and put your username on their homepage,
I suppose you're trying to throw shade at me for something here? But I've had a very on/off history with SLR, especially in the beginning, and I have no idea when they started using my name on the signup page. What made me an SLR fan was actually when Nash came on board. The Witcher scene (2020), then the Naughty Dorm party scenes made me a believer that SLR would be a major player in the VR content game. Their original "Netflix" approach was never something I was interested in because I had always subbed to sites directly. I also have always been a downloader, not a streamer, so the app had little to do with my enjoyment. In the early days I used Skybox and Pigasus. I started using the SLR App / Deo when scripting became a thing, but once I became a PC user, I left for Heresphere.

proslr The JAV. It's not easy to legitimately access most of it in the West outside of SLR. I really appreciate a lot of what JAV content creators have made and like to see them get paid for it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy and appreciate a lot of the Western content as well, but it's just not nearly as difficult to access as the JAV is.
As for the censorship in JAV, I don't like it any more than anybody else. But the countless gorgeous exotic JAV women, incredible intimacy, cam angles, lighting, eye contact, more tittyfucking, creampies, and CIM finishes(even if many of them are fake, the occasional real CIMs and even some of the fakes can still be really hot), etc more than make up for the censorship IMO.
Would be awesome to see some sort of optional automated translation subtitles feature integrated into the JAV. Many of the videos are still insanely hot even being unable to understand 95% of what the girls are saying, but could definitely help make them even hotter with the option to read the sexy things they're saying.
not much honestly. i'm dissapointed alot more than im happy with the content. i do like the block studios feature , cuz you guys have added so many poor quality/content studios that i literally have over 100 studios blocked now. The comment sections are designed make people argue and they breed more negativity than positivity. Cant dislike videos but you can downvote comments lol . im glad i dont see slr staff in the comments trash talking paying users much anymore cuz that was extremely unprofessional. i love slr video quality but the inconsistant directing puts a damper on that. if i didnt pay yearly to get the 15 per month fee id never subscribe for the price you guys charge monthly. there are sites with the same amount of videos and studios that are way cheaper and DONT limit the amount of videos you can download in a set time period. i liked when you had the ar passthrough stuff in its own studio. that qwelled arguments from people with out ar heasets but simsense doesnt get that so now theyre back with the slr vr videos smh. im on the fence about whether or not i should resub for another year in november. im not trying to offend anyone with this feedback. just being 100 percent honest
