Back in 2007, Roblox released the original ROBLOX Visor. Since then, we got a new visor every year until 2019, where we got the Roblox Visor that is currently available for free. We’ve also gotten plenty of other variants ranging in availability and price.
There’s one issue that’s persisted across every visor that uses the original 2007 ROBLOX visor mesh: there is a single flat-shaded triangle on the side with the “R”. Here’s an example of how it looks on the original item in-game:
Okay atp you guys are now ruining all the classic avatar items. Because it’s not perfect that’s what makes the item special and unique, you guys don’t have to ruin that…
Ever since that guy that wanted the cat ears fixed I’ve seen those reports, I’m not saying roblox should not fix avatar items but not for a normal being flipped or that the mesh is not 100% smooth.
I’m not saying that they should fundamentally change the design of any of these items or anything like that. I’m just pointing out a relatively subtle mistake that isn’t gonna drastically change the look of any of these items.
I am absolutely on board with you about this but unfortunately regardless of our opinion people do have the right to submit bug reports about things like this and it is totally at Roblox Staff’s discretion whether or not they should fix it.
People get mad when items are made to look as they were intended, better and less classic; also when they’re made to look better and more classic. You can never win.
… What? Smoothing out a singular triangle isn’t going to ruin this item. I know I’ve been defending older roblox content quite a bit with some of the stuff being announced, but this is extreme…
In my opinion, such unintented details should be fixed. This won’t hurt anyone, and nobody else before except for this person has ever knew about this. All defenders of this “triangle” in my opinion should go discuss more major changes.
But, cause there’s 2 groups of people, let’s solve this debate by the following poll:
it gives it a low-poly look, the way that some old items are modelled imperfectly is actually charming, and that’s aside from nostalgia. if every old item is remade to be polished and professional looking, it’ll be a downgrade for people who appreciate the look or are nostalgic. if you want a smooth visor, UGC exists. Roblox should not waste their time changing this. a lot of people would be unhappy, so it’s not even worth it anyways.
I’m totally with you that imperfections can add a ton of charm depending on the context. I’m a big fan of the Teapot series and the Classic Pumpkin series in part because of their weird little design quirks! But as somebody who’s been around for years and loves to wear some of my visors from time to time, I’m not sure if I agree that this particular quirk really gives the visor a “low-poly look” with it being on just one face.
I completely understand people’s apprehension with making changes to classic items given how the Workclock’s Headphones were handled. But I’m not asking for a complete redo of all the visors to make them look like something Roblox would make today. I just wanted to point out a relatively subtle mistake that bothered me personally when I noticed it on the Treehugger Visor a few months ago.
