Are you sure this is a bug and not intentional design?

If Tix Vision is not following the original mouth, so Epic Vampire Face, right? We can notice that the eyes and mouth are not stylized in the original face meme.

I actually heavily agree with this thread, I think until we receive confirmation from staff that this is truly a “design choice” I am open to any changes done, I think right now this currently looks the worst compared to the other renditions in the series

It could be, and honestly they had it the original way in 2016, then changed it for who knows why. The old is and was better than what it currently looks like.
This item was originally created and sold during the ‘Tixapolooza’ sale event. It went on sale on March 25th, 2016, and went off sale on April 14th, 2016 when the Tix were removed from Roblox. During this time period, the face retained it’s original appearance that was in line with the well known Epic Face face.
On January 20th, 2017, Roblox updated the face with a significantly different appearance. The entire design, including the proportions, colors, and mouth shape of the face were completely changed over 8 months after the item went off sale.
FYI, I don’t own this item, but I think it’s unfair that the face was so significantly changed months after it’s limited time release. I think that restoring it’s original appearance would be a good move on Roblox’s part, given that it has never returned on sale after it’s original look was changed, and because the entire appeal of the item during it’s original sale was that it was a slightly modified version of the classic Epic Face.

Such a confusing update. Wouldn’t think this is a rights issue, since none of the other faces were changed, and Roblox used the original Epic Face design for their Series 1 toys later that year. If this was meant to clean up the face, why not use the hi-res tix textures used in other Tixapalooza items? Why change the color and shape of the mouth?
Even if the original design isn’t restored, I’d love to know why Roblox changed it in the first place.

Honestly, they should look into changing this back to it’s original design. This new one that we have now is good, but could be better with it’s first design of creation. But who knows why Roblox does what they do, why they change anything without saying anything.
I hope they’ll provide a good answer rather than “this is the intentional design choice of the item”.

Well, there it goes closed without a single response, so who knows why and the staff don’t have time to write out something simple. Well, time to move on. Smh

As an owner, I wouldn’t have bought the face if I knew what it would look like now. I think it should be reverted to the original.

Hopefully Roblox takes another look at this, unfortunately they closed this specific report without any reply beyond the acknowledgement. The team handling reports recently has replied to many of these posts saying they will no longer make aesthetic changes to old catalog items, so I’d think that reverting this item to it’s original state would be very much in line with that idea.

It’s funny because this change was an update to an older catalog item, the original design suited the face much better

Probably they just cant be bothered, no response, this team all of a sudden stopped replying
ever since the workclock incident the replies have been a lot more quiet
As someone who actually owns and uses the face pretty often, I prefer the new design of the face. Looking back at the old design, it looks pretty bad now.

The eyes could atleast be centered along with the mouth (which isn’t in proportion either.) Even if you like the new design you can tell this item has been completely neglected and left looking like a knockoff UGC item
Honestly the only thing wrong is that the tix logo they used doesn’t match the tix logo of the time, it just doesn’t match the aesthetic, the face is alright to be fair with it all
it really looks unpleasant compared to epic face

Seems like they closed the bug report. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see a change on this face…
to be fair it’s most definitely intended and not a bug, people use this category to create passive aggressive feature requests for catalog assets rather than reporting “issues” with said assets
if you want this you’re better off making a feature request

Thank you for the report. We will not be making an update to this face right now.
- We are not updating aesthetics for any items over 6 months old.
- We looked at the original from March 2016 and the updated one from January 2017. The update was made to sharpen the texture, as well as fix artifacts that appeared at the sides of the mouth.
- Some users like the current look.
