They have recently started changing default avatars from bacon hairs to rthro characters with dynamic heads or new characters with dynamic heads.
Its all dynamic heads, and roblox has been doing awful marketing stunts to get it out to the public
Remember the stevie standard thing where all the old profiles had the face added to there profiles ? People claimed that was a glitch but it probably wasnt, it was roblox putting the dynamic heads there to make people think more people actually use them, they think were stupid or something.
The “Stevie standard infection” wasn’t a glitch it was most likely an actual marketing play to make it look like more people cared about dynamic heads as its to coincidental and to advanced for a glitch to just play out like this, i think the gig is up roblox and the marketing for these heads is awful
Giving it to all accounts
Giving it to all new accounts by default now
taking offsale classic faces
changing old accounts avatars with the head and giving it them for free
Its clear roblox is currently trying to get them out to the community and is ruining the entire platform in the process in a disorderly stupid manner that is such a cheap marketing play thats its honestly not just embarrassing, its frustrating.
As a handful of posts have pointed out already, my main issue with dynamic heads compared to classic faces right now is their incompatibility with already existing accessories, and I feel fixing that is very important if dynamic heads are meant to replace or upgrade from classic faces.
I’m interested in using a dynamic head for my avatar, but in their current state the sizing and offset of the head as well as the proportions for the facial features (atleast specifically the Stevie Standard) makes my avatar look somewhat odd.
To be fair, the hair is UGC, but the glasses are from Roblox themselves (the Nerd Glasses) yet on a dynamic head have the most noticeable offset when compared to my avatar with a classic face.
I’ve spotted that over 200 replies were deleted here (post count in the URL is 912, while the sidebar shows it as 691). I’m fine with off-topic or rule breaking replies being deleted, but it leaves to wonder, were all of the 220 replies that were deleted off-topic, or extremely critical of this feature?
Sometimes you have to swallow your pride on a feature that is just bad and no one wants, this is a case with this head feature.
I personally don’t have a strong opinion on the update itself, however I think Roblox should avoid forced adoption of avatar changes. Let the community decide what they like rather than pushing an agenda onto us. I doubt that the company is capable of differentiating between what is truly a better user experience versus a heavily contrived metaverse chasing fiasco.
There’s a really good way to figure it out: Let users decide what they want. Make something players want to adopt.
Why is this another attempt in pushing things that stray farther and farther from the classic more liked avatars. You guys should really just listen to the community and stick to what people enjoy instead of what you think people will enjoy.
Please SHUT UP about “overlords” and “investors” and “middle-aged people” PLEASE.
That is absolutely NOT why these changes are happening, if you know a bit about Roblox then you know they’ve been trying to make more “realistic” avatars since 2007, when Roblox was just a few dudes and not a public company. They’ve also been making very unpopular decisions YEARS before they became public. Ignorant people like you will simply keep scapegoating these mysterious middle-aged investor boogeymen, ruining Roblox from the shadows, but if you had half a brain, you’d realize that Roblox has just been shit for like 6 years.
Also: Don’t expect Roblox to respond. Roblox has never responded as far as I know regarding items going offsale.
bruh I’m crying right now, roblox keeps removing the best features in the world.
