  • AV1 Is Now Live on SexLikeReal!

petex67

To be honest I like what SLR are doing with Drive and attempting to get more viewers by adding 2D content which will then increase VR viewers and content - it's just the way they go about things is what I have an issue with

I do wonder if it's 1 guy at the top making these decisions on a whim or if they have multiple people planning and agreeing on a realistic roadmap

Is there pressure to reduce costs from AV1 server bills or is SLR just taking this opportunity to strip people of features and increase profits?

Right now it seems like half-baked things are randomly announced and implemented and rightly get a lot of negative feedback from the community

Leadership and feature stability isn't something SLR is known for these days and it's a shame, they have one of the biggest VR libraries and so much potential but these rash decisions are scaring away paying customers and tarnishing the brand

Just the fact that people have to spend hours reading the forums to get an idea of what changes are happening is eye opening. Any other company of this size would have big decisions planned out in advance and make a proper announcement via blog posts and emails - but instead SLR flip-flops on forums

Reading the video comments on recent SLR uploads has people asking why Original Quality downloads are disabled, they got yoinked with no notice, no discussion, no nothing

      jommy Honestly it feels now like we're getting duped because of that whole 2d/flat content idea. They're obviously now hosting WAY more video's than before so if costs have gone up, then that seems like one of the key drivers. And again, 98% of us VR users isn't interested in flat content that we can watch for free elsewhere anyway.

      It just feels extremely unfair. I will NEVER pay $7 for a video this way, even though I can easily afford it. But it feels like a scam and I don't like that at all.

        @petex67 @jommy @harigeharry

        1- Identity loss: They forgot they are a VR Porn dedicated site/ studio for VR Porn fans.

        2- Blindly following: Best example is Apple Vision Pro headset with their INFERIOR "Spatial videos" AKA historically as Stereoscopic videos.

        The whole "Immersive Flat" or whatever other names they call it is because Apple said so. You don't need a Sherlock Holmes to figure it out.

        Instead of focusing and investing in higher standards regarding the cast and the overall theme to make VR Porn video masterpieces that will tie their brand with high quality contents which will attract more and more customers to their service as a result, they made SLR website like a Frankenstein that have many different things that confuse the heck out of any new novice VR porn fan who want to subscribe to their service.

        Just imagine a new customer who heard a lot about how much VR Porn is amazing, comes to this site then look at all these different video formats without knowing what the heck they are, and his first encounter is "Immersive Flat" video. I don't want to be in his shoes that's for sure.

        But, again, I'm just a random complainer, what do I know anyway. It seems AVP Spatial videos are more important than high quality VR Porn contents. It seems AVP SLR Customers are a priority. The whole three of them.

          This isn't right, but we kind of it did it to ourselves as LT subscribers by sacrificing the ability to vote with our wallets.

          If you haven't learned it yet, shaking your fist at the stone edifice that is SLR is basically fruitless. When it comes to business decisions, they listen and engage, but rarely heed.

          What is left is maybe marginal impact, but its what is available:

          • make sure those monthly/annual subscribers are informed
          • spread the word through related communities and social media
          • use every single ounce of what you have left--after all, you paid for streaming, downloads, support, etc, -- you should use every possible aspect to the maximum before they take it away

          We are creating a pipeline for the next generation of vr porn.
          Both state of the art 4K flat videos watched in VR, upcoming 16K VR180 and volumetric.
          Creating Drive to give users all the tools to enjoy their most loved content in vr like never before.

          There's a fundamental transition coming. If we stop it there would be the same boring stuff everyone loves complaining about.

          I don't know yet many of the answers, but I'm here to make sure we get the best deal for all vr fans.

          Bear with us. We are on the right side of history. All of us are making it happen.

            doublevr I want to believe this, because I really LOVED SLR and I hope it will always be the best site for high quality VR Porn in terms of tech and content. If we complain and criticize, it's because we care and we want the best for both SLR and us. Because that's the best and fair balance that keeps us going together forward.

            And I can't stress enough how much I like the staff and the community here compared to my previous experiences on other sites. And I really hope I'll continue my stay here as long as I can to be honest.

            Let's hope for the best for everyone.
            Best Regards.

                VRXVR thx. I sure care like no one else.

                First thing I want is to make thoughtful decisions that help us moving forward and deliver community. If decision isn't perfect there's always a way to change or revert.
                We are open, transparent and innovative like no one else in the industry. We made numerous fundamental changes with the app, PT, AI, sex toys like no one else. Every time we were given a hard time from users and every time it worked despite all the hate and criticism. Adding high quality flat, Drive and higher resolutions just can't go wrong.

                The change is never pleasant, but once we roll it out you guys are going to love how everything is getting better. We manage to innovate and run sustainable economy for everyone's better. And if we don't do the change things won't be getting where they have to be. Everything has a price.

                  Every 'genuine VR enthusiast' understands that Heresphere is the best VR player to watch 'downloaded' scenes including Allpha Passthrough as DeoVR has acceptable streaming but is absolute garbage for downloaded content - I couldn't care less about the upcoming new release as that will be a buggy mess for at least six months and probably remove essential options.

                  Could someone explain to me how removing the option to use the best VR player and to restrict us to streaming only unless we pay a premium $6.99 for downloads is a better service ?

                  So... to improve image quality and service we are being restricted to streaming only which everyone knows is inferior and taking away the option to watch Alpha Passthrough scenes in Heresphere ? Again... Totally bizarre !

                  Personally i cannot tell the difference streaming in DeoVR between 2880p or 4000p, they honestly look the same to me, and around 4k.

                  As a lifetime subscriber i used to pay for the exceptional SLR scenes just to give back and support SLR as i believe in giving back for a good service - However, I 100% guarantee i won't be doing that from now on or supporting the 'Drive' which is a great idea but way, way. way overpriced, also the casting lately is absolutely appalling !

                  I'm guessing even the 4k flat scenes which i might have downloaeded and watch on my tv in bed won't have a download option - Seriously, please do a survey of who on earth would watch these scenes !

                  I do understand you have to make changes to persevere and move forward, but i guarantee you by removing downloads will cost you and just piss 'EVERYBODY OFF' - At this point it's quite funny how you totally ignore my advice and do the exact opposite and i use this to my advantage for a bit off fun and ruffle a few feathers - lol - Red or black ?

                  I'll give one bit of advice - add AV1 in place of Original hi res downloads - and continue to offer 8k downloads - Or prepare to make significant losses and a massive backlash and hate 🙂

                  Buy on the dip and get another sub

                  I used to come on here praising you guys all the time but even Alex Nash has lost the plot. - I like to invest but it definitely won' t be VR.

                  Myself and many, many other have been asking and pleading for new BGGG scenes for over a year now as they tend to be some of the best VR scenes i have ever seen, but promises broken constantly are just becoming a joke at SLRs expense.

                  Let me guess you are listening and blah de blah de blah

                    Here's an idea -As all the upcoming changes are for the 'Majority customer' and satisfaction - then the perfect scenario would be to hold an SLR customer survey of upcoming changes to remove downloads and how most customer feel about that

                    Again, investing is alll about the fundamentals - unfortunately SLR seem to have lost sight of this and the diversication is distracting from this.

                    Please make high quality VR scenes with beautiful 'Porn Stars' and make them downloadable so we can watch them on a VR Player of our choice - I personally couldn't give a shit about all the other stuff as long as you provide this.

                    However, you guys have to make jobs for people and be diverse for the sake of being divserse and lose money because of it and put that cost onto customers.

                    Thank god i don't have to work any more and put up with this absolute bollocks 🙂

                    Can anybody set up that survey for users / complainers to vote on - Denny Crane ....

                    Instead of 'Pipeline' (LOL) why not streamline, cut costs and provide a VR yes VR service that users have signed up for - Again i find im patronising someone who doesn't have a clue.

                    I would love to have an honest no bullshit drink with the CEO of this company and tell them what they are doing wrong - The only reason is SLR Origiinals - i can get everything else on another site !!!!!!!!!!

                    At the end of the day i'm genuinely giving good advice as a heavy user, but have zero faith in where this is going - Unfortunately i don't even like Alex Nash productions lately and i was his biggest fan !

                    Silly-Sausage Myself and many, many other have been asking and pleading for new BGGG scenes for over a year now as they tend to be some of the best VR scenes i have ever seen, but promises broken constantly are just becoming a joke at SLRs expense.

                    This should be SLR biggest investment they should be focusing on. This is what will bring people to the site. Making these scenes so people on Wankz/POV see it in the "Discussion About Other Studios". And think 'damn that looks hot' I need to get a sub over there.

                    They say they are making more BGGG scenes. They have been saying that for months now. There was one 7 months ago and one 2 months ago. That's it, 2 scenes in over a year.
                    I know that when you shoot a scene it takes some time to get it edited but I don't see any in the upcoming part or in the thread. So if they shoot just one BGGG scene today we wont see it until may. I doubt they even have one planned for the next month.
                    In concussion we might see a BGGG scene sometime this summer, fingers crossed. This is the biggest thing that would bring people to SLR

                        rerun119 In concussion we might see a BGGG scene sometime this summer, fingers crossed. This is the biggest thing that would bring people to SLR

                        Concussion is probably the accidental description of users requesting BGGG scenes after banging their heads against a wall for the last year - see what i did there...

                        But i'm not even looking forward to the new scene as the girls are not my type at all

                        It's almost impossible request anything that works - they just don't seem to get it !

                        I just wanna see beautiful slim porn stars, not grannies with fake tits

                          rerun119 there's little correlation what's being discussed by users and how things performed. We have been testing these things since day one

                              doublevr

                              I paid for a 1 year subscription and as far as I'm concerned you are blatantly acting in bad faith and removing something from my subscription that I had every right to assume would not be removed, especially not to a ppv model.

                              Really lame and you are just bulldozing past this point.

                                Most users don't have a clue yet ....

                                This is gonna be entertaining ...who needs netlfix when you have a destructive CEO

                                ... at least you will have new forum members to show their appreciation and love and to sooth the desire of attention you seek 🙂

                                This makes me giddy - Denny Crane

                                A word of for-warning and legal advice for those possibly subscribing to the new drive thingy me bob - There probably won't be a terms and conditions for you to accept as this is a porn site and above the law.

                                But when this fails and gets shut down after a year you will lose all your money invested in this badly thoughtout idea.

                                I don't charge for this advice and everyone appreciates a bit of banter which highlights consumer concerns 🙂

                                Do we have a date of when this kicks off - will it be PPV ?

                                Last piece of advice - You have a great product , and you are about to destroy it in a single stroke.

                                doublevr No one is complaining about the new stuff you create. People are even willing to pay for the new features. What people are rightly complaining about is that you downgrade an existing product without any need while telling them you're making history and flat is the future of VR porn. And then ask them to pay the price of like three (3) lifetime subscriptions to get their old product back. Once? No, not just once, every year! Don't tell people this is a fair deal.

                                    doublevr

                                    Thank You for taking our feedback and re-enabling HBR Downloads on the Lexi Luna scene. I really appreciate it! I hope you'll keep HBR Downloads enabled for future scenes as well.

                                    We all want you to be super successful and make SLR the future of Adult Entertainment but antagonizing your most loyal and OG subscribers is not the way.

                                    Thanks again and Good Luck!

                                      SchnuppiLilac No one is complaining about the new stuff you create.

                                      I am, it used to be so much better with stunning porn stars, i don't even watch the new SLR scenes, i'm sorry but when it gets to the point i'm more attracted to the local bingo hooker then we have an issue - However the bigger picture is more concerning at this point - Popcorn at the ready

                                          Silly-Sausage You don't complain, you provide constructive criticism (and every now and then forget the sugarcoating)! But I would assume that even you won't really complain about new additive features as long as they are not forced onto you. If you don't like Drive, you can just not sign up for it and still appreciate that it will help keeping the core business alive we are here for. Because there's no such thing as local bingo hookers where some of us live. Boy, am I jealous now.

                                              SchnuppiLilac You don't complain, you provide constructive criticism (and every now and then forget the sugarcoating)

                                              I never, ever forget the sugar coating - i speak my mind which nobody does these days for fear of hurty feelings.

                                              You actually remind me of the James Spader character in Boston Legal (extremely intelliigent and under appreciated)

                                              I probably have mad cow disease and off to watch Elton John today ... and a few drinks off course

                                              Sorry i know i sound like a child, but understand this is the terminology of ccmmmunication that is best understood by the leaders of the pack also i don't care about adherance to fake social constructure any more - Hate my online persona i don't care - i'm out with friends today watching Elton John 🙂

                                              Lets ruffle feathers together, 2 pink flamingos !

                                              Btw:- spoiler, im not reallly mad i'm just having some fun as this particular forum is fairly lacking lately and need characters for peoplel to hate on or form some sort of opinion whilst telling the truth which always hurts.

                                              Mmmm peanut butter, prawn cocktail crisps, ketcup and whiskey - not my best choice this early..... Goody bye Yellow Brick Rooooaaaaad ....
