C’mon guys, it’s not a bad update! Why are you overreacting so much?
…That was my opinion, until I see people complaining abt privacy, Classic Faces gone, accessory alignments… Now my opinion is that this update is… straight up awful. Almost as bad as Metroid Other M (iykyk)!
I hate to see Roblox swirling down this spiral of consistantly bad updates… the first one I ever witnessed being the Material Update. Y’all remember that? Horrible… Until it turned optional and the new ones even got better than the prototype ones! Why was that update different? Because in the end, Roblox did something phenomenal… they listened!
Right here, right now, we need Roblox to make a breakthrough, people. We need them to do something that they’ve done, time and time again. We need them to listen.PLEASE BRING CLASSIC FACES BACK!!!
Everyone is complaining about this line in the post… they never said they would love to act on our feedback…
Also, at time of writing, ~80 posts just got deleted.
EDIT: I just saw that they said in the OP that they are updating:
emotes, idk they probably just dont feel like putting them on
as for 3D clothing, it wouldn’t work too well with R6
with R6 the joints are rarely connected in animations, so the clothes would end up stretched out weirdly.
but i dont see them getting rid of R6, just as how they havent gotten rid of Blocky, they also havent gotten rid of gears (you can still get them), or roblox catalog items (since we have UGC)
you dont require facial animations to moan, you just need voice chat, you could also kiss with VR. I see no issue here, ODers are going to OD no matter what you do, there will always be idiots.
Not sure how facial animations means swearing, that’s just Voice chat again, not facial animations
as for weird faces, i mean, they’re just weird faces lol, just laugh at the person and move on
You could mouth bad words without hearing them. And yes, people already kiss, but it will be much worse with actual kissing faces. Also if they don’t have VR.
This introduction of more Dynamic Heads would not have been a problem if it weren’t for the following:
Taking classic faces off sale. Especially when one considers how many of these faces were either free or under 100 Robux.
The dynamic head counterparts of these faces are considerably higher in price, in the 100-300 Robux range typically.
Dynamic faces have fixed head shapes which may look weird on different body types (for instance, the aforementioned Squigglin’ Out being seemingly designed for the Woman bundle specifically), as well as compatibility/alignment issues with accessories. Compare this to Classic Faces, which can easily be applied to any head shape that supports them.
I am also still unsure of how much customization potential this feature would even have to offer in theory and practice alike (it might give some existing bundles some more life, at least), especially considering both the aforementioned accessory alignment problems AND UGC modular face cosmetics (if only it were far easier to actually search for them, or anything on Roblox really, nudge nudge).
i mean, what’s mouthing gonna do? kill someone? I’d be less offended if someone mouthed an insult on roblox.
also fun fact, if you mouth the word “vacuum”, it looks like you’re mouthing the phrase “#### you”,
so that point, I’d ask them why they’re talking about vacuums
I’m starting to wonder if Roblox’s idea of “Be Anything, Build Anything!” or “Powering Imagination” really meant anything given how they are limiting customization.
This is indeed true but it’s completely unrelated to this feature. As this is all processed client-wise, the only way to access your camera is either trough an extremely bad roblox exploit where somehow you can capture camera footage which is extremely unlikely, or running malicious code trough an exploit program, but at that point using roblox as an intermediary is completely pointless since you just have access to the system itself.
So in general this is true, but it’s pointless as achieving it requires full control of the client, and at that point using roblox to access the camera is useless when you can just access it directly without any middlemen
They’re already working on the animated face versions of several of the faces that went off-sale and even ones that are still on sale. Probably the most substantial proof that they took faces off-sale to replace them.
I can see this also being a possibly more taxing on bandwidth even if its not my by much. Please tell me when this comes out Roblox’s game servers will be a lot better. I get 3 to 2x worse performance on Roblox servers compared to any other online game I play.
I think animated faces are great. Classic faces are always a nice thing to have, but animated faces will allow for more heads (Even ugc ones when that comes out) To have all kinds of expressions without having to pay more robux for a decal plastered on your face. But will roblox track your data when using the camra? It says if your under 13 it wont work? does that mean if you are older will roblox store your face in their servers?
I really think that the release of animated heads, specifically the remakes of the classic faces, was overcomplicated.
A viable approach instead of having us use pre-modeled heads resembling the classic ones with their own faces would have been to just have a flat model of the face projected onto the player’s selected head, using something similar to the layered clothing/lattice tech you already have.
Most of the classic heads are just primitive shapes like cylinders and boxes so it honestly would work so much better. Not only would we have more freedom, but it would also make the creation process much smoother and there wouldn’t be any of the ugly topology on the current animated classic faces which would make it look more appealing over all.
If the player is wearing a primitive shaped or classic head which supports projection of faces, then have a subcategory under Heads which contains the player’s faces.
If the equipped face has an animated equivalent (distinguishable by the icon), let them toggle the animated face rather than having to buy it separately. It might just be me, but I don’t think we should have to repurchase an animated equivalent of all the faces that most of us already own.
Are they really removing classic faces? Im ok with animated head and faces. But removing classic faces is unfair. Its like removing classic 2d clothes with layered clothing. I liked layered clothing It wasnt forced we could still use our classic shirts and pants but there was an option there.
They should add a skinned mesh r15 blocky rig. with other body types that look close to the blocky 1.0 body. If they want people to use r15. Most people dont use it because of how messy the seems look. I cant believe roblox is giving up such a good way to make people more tempted to use r15.
bring old faces back
