As a Roblox user, it is currently too hard to access the Advanced menu on the Avatar page so I can edit my avatar without category restrictions.
Currently, you can wear up to three hats, and only one of all other types of accessories. This menu allows you to wear 10 of any kind of accessory without category restrictions.
Problem
If I’m trying to add a new accessory to my avatar, the process to do so is very unpleasant.
The first thing presented to me when I visit the Avatar page is a long list of my recently purchased accessories, but the Advanced button is unexpectedly not at the bottom of the list like it is on other tabs.
This means that to add another accessory to my avatar without accidentally removing something, I need to first navigate to another tab that has the Advanced button. However, I specifically need to navigate to a tab where I don’t have multiple scrolls worth of accessories. Because the list is infinite scrolling, I won’t be able to reach the Advanced button unless I scroll long enough to reach the bottom, or I try another tab.
When I do find this button, it’s nothing more than tiny link-text at the bottom of the list. It’s easy to overlook for users not expecting it, and annoying to find for users actively looking for it. Clicking on it opens an unfriendly list of asset IDs that my avatar is currently wearing.
To get an asset ID to add to this list, I need to find an accessory I own, open it in a new tab, carefully copy the ID out of the URL, and paste it into one of the empty text boxes. This process alone is tedious enough that I wrote an extension to mostly do it for me.
If this list is full, to find an accessory I’m willing to replace I either need to back out of this menu and unequip it using the usual Avatar Editor UI, or find its asset ID and then remove it from the list.
Suggestions
Preferably, this button and menu should be rendered unnecessary and removed.
Allow experienced users to toggle on an “unlocked mode”, that allows them to select any number of accessories from any accessory category using the usual avatar editor UI.
I’m guessing this menu exists because due to the tabbed layout of the Avatar Editor, if users could equip all 10 accessories under one category, they wouldn’t be able to see other accessories in other categories un-equipping, so inexperienced users might be confused about why some of their accessories are “randomly” unequipping.
However, experienced users should be able to enable this behavior. It would be much more friendly than the current Advanced menu. Display the number of accessories equipped somewhere (Eg. bottom left corner of the avatar preview), or how many accessories the user can still equip.
At the very least, on tabs this button pertains to, please move it to the top of the UI.
To the right of the breadcrumb would be useful; it never reaches that far to the right and nothing else uses that space as far as I can tell.
