oh hell nah roblox tryna be like fortnite fr
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.
There’s even a bug report on this issue already as well. Despite some dynamic heads being updated since this report, issues still persist with consistency between dynamic heads and classic faces when using accessories.

Stevie Standard:
That’s what the entire post is about, they’re replacing old faces with dynamic ones
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.
Here’s another thing, if you guys gonna force an update, at least polish it, because just look at this.
Not to mention the shading errors it comes with. Why rush and force an update?
Considering the fact that they just removed almost every single free classic face from the marketplace, I seriously doubt it.
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.
Wow they really just shoveled this out to appease their little overlords and called it a day huh.
That makes two days since this announcement and zero response.
Bruh now all of my favorite faces are gone bruh I’m crying right now, roblox keeps removing the best features in the world.
“you dont get it bro this is the future of the metaverse!!!”
Roblox: We love hearing everyones feedback!
Also Roblox: Ahh shoot everyone, we did it again with a bad update. Cover it up and make it look good.
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.
maybe the fact they’re trying to push to you to keep your camera on all the time idk
I don’t think hands are a good example since many people also struggle with that. But I do agree that AI is NOT a viable solution.
why this update kinda sounds pointless
that wireframe view of the head mesh is genuinely horrifying…
(both because of… it… but also because of how uneven the distribution of all those triangles are!)
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.
yeah the shading looks super scuffed and overall just really ugly
it pleases investors because the investors want new things, they want innovation, they want the next big hit. And sometimes that “next big hit” is something risky like animated faces or rthro, roblox gets to decide what they do, but in the end they are merely trying to appease stockholders.
roblox would happily ban all our accounts and steal all our robux if it made the investors happy, thats a fact. So it makes sense why people use that as a scapegoat in situations like this.
im making middle aged stock brokers sound like super-villains lol
Who cares about investors when you got Dynamic Heads™!? Totally 100% guaranteed satisfaction, right?
