The update is actually good that is about this huge expanding for UGC creators, where they can make their own bundles and animated faces but seeing a lot of copyrighted and other UGC items that does break Roblox Guidelines and maybe Terms of Use - the UGC bundle system will just be abused while moderation doing something else besides reviewing these items.
Because, they have passed through UGC program application. They do break these Marketplace Policies but i believe that moderation doing nothing meanwhile on the Marketplace there’s a bunch of really weird stuff.
This is again not thought out well… or Roblox just doesn’t care.
My point is that … how is one to know… amongst 1000’s … or much more avatars… that your avatar might look too much like an existing avatar ?
People that have been creating/building on Roblox for years, can suddenly lose their account bcoz of an unintended similarity ??
I understand about copying is forbidden… but at least give a warning if some avatar looks close to another.
Does anyone realize it’s impossible to scan/search if our new avatar looks like another ?
Unless Roblox can give us an “FBI avatar simulator” to search for similar/clone like avatars.
I hope Roblox can dig out some Sympathy.
Reading from past posts, the Moderation is very poor.
I had a point since the start. The UGC creators are UN-TRUS-TA-BLES. I think ROBLOX should really prevent those abuses. You can really get idiotic faces for free. Headless heads is something, Billy was something else. I don’t know, but I’m just feeling like I’m going to go on Novetus. ROBLOX is really being, with the good term, scary…
Please remove this hell ! I don’t want to see my childhood game being so strange !
The idea of this update seems great but sadly not much good bundles just yet.
I would assume people would make some great bundles way before the update because it has been announced but i guess not.
There are a few good ones and I’m all fine with the meme ones but I feel like ALOT of the ugc creators just used the basic artho characters and just slightly changed them. Even breaking the “changeable skin color” idea that Roblox has given in the avatar bodies guidance.
I was expecting something cool by now like R6 but with bendable joints. Or really creative avatars but sadly not much yet.
I feel like we need some quality control. Ive seen great ugc creator concepts that haven’t come out yet.
Please ugc creators do better. (Thats never going to happen but its a wish)
and please roblox just a small bit of quality control goes along way.
Yeah, very strange that there hasn’t been anything good really yet. There are some in production, like the creator of the S15 Rig is working on getting it ready for the catalog.
Someone here was saying something about the upload process, apparently, it’s not as easy as just getting a rig working and uploading it - that’s probably why there’s so many versions of the template avatar already yet barely anything that’s actually worth a damn. Classic roblox moderation xd
That’s great to know that we are getting a very nice skinned mesh blocky rig! (That’s a mouthful!)
hopefully Roblox will let people use 2d clothing on these new ugc bodys.
Also I think Roblox should have made blocky skinned mesh characters a WHILE ago. It would help more people and developers want to switch to r15. As the rigs would no longer look really messy.
It would be really nice to see items being sorted into categories the way games are.
I’m looking for robot, and maybe some alien packages. So maybe to be able to click a SciFi tag would be kinda helpful.
I would love that so much if it’s an option for us.
I see a bunch of people trashing on the removal of a price floor, but I’m all here for it! Giving more options to the F2P/budget community is a great thing. They are an important part of the community, and this could really improve the situation of how, “eh”, free avatars can currently look.
But, this update isn’t without its flaws, and boy does it have flaws. The lack of quality control is REALLY apparent with the current catalog. Honestly, this is the case for all UGC, but this is even worse. The fact that the example models are just a-ok to upload is an absurdly terrible idea.
7/10 update, has a LOT of potential, but there are some issues that need to be fixed.
I think they might make a public catalog for all of us to make somewhere in devforum or whatever.
If this is true then may the catalog shop wreak havoc.
