That’s why we’re all complaining, we want the classic faces to still be there, but it seems like we’re getting ignored, and probably the fact they’ll have access to our camera

I know this might seem like a rushed complaint about the update, but this is a genuine concern. What was the reason for plenty of free faces being taken offsale?

I’m fairly sure it’s just a “not-so-subtle” way of forcing new users to rely on Dynamic heads instead of classic ones.

Because they probably won’t answer I can only see one possible reason one would do it:
To force us to use animated faces instead of the classic ones
Or it’s just April’s fools in summer
Didn’t Roblox drop April Fools pranks wayyy long ago? If only it was, but it’s very much real and happening right now. 
I dont get why they would want to force us to use something different. Everyone has a different sense of fashion, and we should be able to wear what we want.
Because Roblox wants to push users into using more realistic avatars. It has been the gist ever since they introduced features like layered clothing, or even the first release of dynamic heads.
[ Not to say that these features were bad, but the decisions to push Players to use certain “realistic” features caused a lot of backlash. ]
Why? Cause it’s Roblox, they force us to use things we don’t want, except sometimes like the team create toggle

exactly everyone’s point, however i see some are disagreeing with the whole update altogether, it is a good update, however, 2d faces SHOULD NOT be offsale, nor should the 3d versions be at a higher price, especially those that were free, I aint wanna buy a face that was once free
and yes they promised, they would NEVER REMOVE 2D clothes or faces, yet, they proved us wrong right now, removing only the MOST popular faces on earth
this update overall in terms of 3d faces isnt bad, because some of yall wearing valks and headless needs some creativity, and the camera feature is optional, however you will be kind of forced to wear 3d heads if you hardly have any 2d faces
I understand that the professional marketers, and whoever made this decision, but this is stupid, they gotta hire me, I’ll make better updates, and clarify them without wording them confusingly
True. Then again, Roblox is fairly aware that this update is going to stir up dissatisfaction within the community.
Some people already pointed out that this topic got shadowed, causing the topic to be hidden within a glance of latest topics in #updates:announcements .

It’s not confusing, but it’s just the fact that they worded it vaguely, so users can’t accuse staffs of acknowledging themselves that certain decisions Roblox made were causing drama.

Well after thinking about it, there is no way these ‘animated heads’ are going to use less performance than the classic heads. Even if they are controlled via client, they will still be moving mesh faces on other peoples clients which that client will have to render. So basically the more players in a singular game, the more taxxing it will be. So this again just further handicaps developers as another thing they will have to consider with player count. Honestly they should just remove R6, Remove Rthro, Remove anything thats not the “Meta” theme, and see how many players remain on the platform, I love a good game of chicken. If we could just fastforward to that moment I think everything would play itself out.
And for a lot of people saying its about money?? its really not. I seen this article explaining that in 2021 the CEO of roblox was the 7th HIGHEST PAID CEO, so as far as money goes, they have plenty. It’s roblox. it’s their game. they will do whatever they want to do regardless. So let them do it. Do i feel like they should respect the userbase? absolutely. did facebook lose a bunch of money to this whole meta scheme? absolutely. does messing around equate to finding out? ABSO-LUTELY.
yes, because I was fully in support of this update until I saw 2D faces being removed
now im highly against it as there are some faces I wanted to buy but now cant even tho I got the robux
and yes I know but youtubers ALWAYS love to say roblox worded it confusingly and yet I can understand it, im just pointing it out for them
it’s called innovation and ideas, technology is improving however us users DO NOT, so these companies are trying to FORCE it upon us before 2030 reaches and we will not know how to use the features that it had in 2024
When I was using a more…er, performance-degrading laptop, having any sort of layered clothing would already start to make my client lag. Having a bunch of dynamic heads isn’t going to do any favours to Players with poorer performance.

indeed, the higher the technology on lower end devices the worst it will be, for example the innovation awards 2023, I have a good performance pc, that is refurbished however and I lagged sm, on the obby because IDEK why the roblox logo in game had to have an animation, same for the obby parts with a fade in and out animation
pitchforks down everyone

I’m not really sure why they didn’t just say this from the start. Obviously it still leaves the issue of these faces costing Robux now, but this is a fair compromise and probably as good as we’ll get.
