Why. Just why, you can only keep it if you already owned it, this sucks tbh, every player should be able to have the classic head.

I don’t care much about ROBLOX being ROBLOX nowadays, since they already give passionate developers like myself the short end of the stick. However, when it comes to ditching classic, beloved faces, that is one step too far for any veteran engagement on the platform.
I don’t mind dynamic faces as a whole. They’re actually pretty cool and it gives more expression for social games, though it’s not much more than a novelty. However, when it comes to games that use R6 with custom faces (e.g. Rogue Lineage or Anime battle games), forcing them to use dynamic faces is game-breaking and have to go their way to add their own CustomCharacter for it.
Also, they horribly botched Check It, the most notorious face ever.
This alone would make most people stay away from using dynamic faces, myself included. This is as uncanny as it gets.
Now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s see what our old(?) friend “SeerGEntBLOOocky” has to say about the update.
Again, I don’t mind for social games, but when I just want to play a fighting game with a meme outfit, a dynamic face just makes me look worse.
From the way this is phrased, this is entirely unnecessary. You are just digging a deeper hole for players that don’t want to use it at all.
Second Life already exists for communicating with friends “in Deeeper Waaayys”. I would rather talk to my friends face-to-face, instead of using the internet to show how my crow character is opening his beak and saying how this update can kill most of userbase within a week. Please stop pushing this onto people that don’t want it.
Are you, though?
This is still just the head. When most of the faces are off-sale because of this update, players will be stuck with the one face hard-coded into ROBLOX (which, I beg you, do not remove it). A market exists for classic faces: do something with it.
This isn’t the question we didn’t wanted this to be asked
There is still a legitimate safety concern about enabling a webcam without the user’s knowledge. At least give us the option to not use a webcam in the first place. For laptop users out here, start disabling your cameras soon as possible.
In my view, you cannot turn 2D art into 3D that well, because 2D art allows for much more expressiveness and emotion.
Terrific idea! Leave it up to the community to make these things! I’m sure the Marketplace won’t be flooded by some of the most vile borderline adult content known to man! What could possibly go wrong?
Why is this a question?
TL;DR: most of the questions are entirely irrelevant, and they address none of my concerns. ROBLOX clearly wants to be the next Second Life: they want us to use their ideas that mesh poorly with ROBLOX, and they shove it down our throats and demand that we accept it from then on. This is corporate insanity.
People would say “Ohh you’re just 2020er you don’t know real ROBLOX experience”. I have almost a decade and a half of experience with the platform: I know what makes ROBLOX ROBLOX, and this isn’t it. Nowadays, you get paid an egregiously low salary for making lowest-common-denominator, highly-saturated, cotton-candy games that only ever seriously profit Roblox Corporation in the long run.
This is an awful look for ROBLOX. This is blatant community negligence. I want to order from your Board of Directors’s dealer.
No wonder why I am moving to Godot now.

Yes but why are some faces more expensive than the original ones, that’s literally the whole point of the “pitchforkes” faces are being made more expensive, we don’t want that.

Nahhh, I dont really like this update, to be honest.
Also I hate the dynamic heads as well as the default avatars.
It’s actually very disappointed.
About the camera I dont think it will be safe.
Roblox is a platform were there is a privacy, and people who are minors can also be involved in these type of activities which is above 17+
But where the heck is this privacy lol?
Even users under 13 years can create fake account which they can make it to 18+
I would like the update in the oldest version.
I felt bad when every people comments about this.
Which i feel roblox is kinda dead as usual.
The oof sound is removed and now this one…

Verification that you’re an human, boohoo.
They didn’t want to bother on one simple thing which is talking things out with the original creator of it, so they had to change it. No need to cry about it because taxpayer’s money is going well for them.

This topic is now ####posting.
Ever since the Roblox Staff answered, this topic is filled with memes, and suicidal threats.
Just leave Roblox and their bad decisions in peace! I know this is bad update, ruining everything, what this platform standed on, but future is future. You cannot change it.

I find it ironic that the updates roblox push practically instantly are always the ones the community hates.
2 days after this, most faces went offsale and were replaced with these.
22 faces made in a matter of days, if only they were quick enough to push actually good updates this fast.

I find it really a shame that the old faces are no longer available for sale, but unfortunately roblox will not do anything. Do you remember the horrible audio update? The one that for me was the worst thing ever. A lot of people were angry about this and thief…did absolutely nothing!
As for the animated head update, I hope the Crimson Claw Pack gets an update! Noble_Draconian had made some in this topic but roblox still hasn’t replied…

Yes, and the classic faces being offsaled is phase 1/3 of the R6 removal
Phase 2 is where it really starts
Good luck
The difference between this and the audio update was that ROBLOX was being actively sued for copyright infringement so they implemented that system to avoid more issues regarding public copyrighted music.
This is just an update where they’ve blatantly disregarded any feedback for the sake of forcing animated heads.

True, but they weren’t even honest with the devs and player. They made up a stupid lie and left it like that. Many people were angry and he could have found another solution or at least communicated, but he did nothing. And this update will be the same. People can express their anger but unfortunately they won’t do anything.

The audio update was in the works for years. It was not something that came out of the blue, they were working towards finding a long-term fix to avoid public-facing copyrighted audio which is why the original system was put in place during when they partnered with APM.
That was just the end result of years and years of copyright claims being pushed towards ROBLOX.
For once I feel like they need to listen to the community because people will end up finding other games if they’re stuck with meager avatar customization where accessories don’t even line up with the eyes. If anything this will put a reliance on UGC creators saving the facial expression market which is probably not their intention for this update.

I don’t agree on this subject, setting up a copyright filter and completely removing the audio library (because for me that’s what they did) are 2 different things .
Regarding this update, we just have to wait and see what happens.
The audio update didn’t need to completely ruin audios like it did. Nor did this.

In my opinion, I like the animated heads. They bring life to your roblox avatar. Although it can look ‘creepy’ for now, after it is normalized I think players will enjoy it or at the very least, get used to it as we have witnessed this to be the case with the many changes over the years so far.
Having said that, I think it’s a mistake to replace the Classic Static faces with the animated ones. I understand ROBLOX wants more options for players, but instead it is making things restrictive. A lot of players love the Classic roblox look. It wouldn’t be confusing to have both the Classic and Animated versions available.

Read their post entirely, they said they won’t force users to enable camera, and will be optional.

Roblox, I sincerely ask you to stop forcing stuff on us. Your goal is to power imagination and do almost anything with unique avatars. Now that is all gone.

And now Roblox even go nagging about “unlocking more featues” by verifying phone number.
Well duh, I would if I could, but Roblox seem to think that it’s possible to send texts to landline numbers as that is what they use as prefix for my country.
