The idea is to make that facial expression more natural.
either way, do we want to see it blink…

If what Bloxy News posted was true, I don’t understand why you didn’t say that from the get-go. Why not just specifically tell us you’re putting classic faces off-sale in favor of bundling them. Now there’s 1000 posts of vitriol because you guys can’t seem to communicate properly, if at all.
On top of that, from everything else I’ve seen here, I’m still not satisfied with this update considering classic faces could’ve been used for ANY head shape and they didn’t cost as much, if at all, versus their dynamic counterpart. Not to mention we’ll have a face that’ll only stick to a certain headshape if we go classic (correct me if I’m wrong) until THAT PART of this update finishes out, and THEN we have to wait for the accessory positioning.
If you’re gonna ship out an update, why not make your intentions fully clear and why not have the update prepared properly instead of batches and promises? Why make the faces go off-sale but not have the possible face toggle given to us so we don’t lose out?

Bloxy News is apparently referencing a 2021 concept video that has no relation to or bearing on the current state of the update.

Amazing. So no change whatsoever, nor any official reply to our feedback on their ignorant comment earlier.
What else to expect from this corporation.

Ain’t anything new. They did this with sets and gears, now faces. Roblox has shown repeatedly that they will not acknowledge user feedback unless it gets them bad PR.

I think that, at the very least, developers should have the option to easily switch out the faces of the people playing their game for their classic counterpart, without there being a lot of coding required. A lot of games simply don’t work otherwise.

honestly why haven’t people on roblox unionised yet. they would have actual ways to stop these idiotic changes from happening
Cuz they’re a billion dollar corporation. They could take a hit to an extent when it comes to sales, but they don’t like a bad public image. However, even with bad PR, they’ll feed the news for a bit then slink back into the habit they’ve grown accustomed to.
Roblox is the opposite of Steam- it is not a platform for gamers by gamers; it hasn’t been for years now. Roblox is so out-of-touch with its userbase that it’s pathetic. We are not the consumer nor customer to them.

This feature is neat and all but they way it has been rolled out is very disruptive, outright forcing users to where these faces, taking legacy faces offsale, not to mention this feature feels very unfinished. This is overall a very poorly executed update. I can only hope that this will be addressed but to be honest alot of damage has already been done when these faces were forced onto countless accounts. Its honestly baffling how something this disruptive got the green light from the internal staff at Roblox.
Lets say Microsoft as an example here pushed an update that reset your desktop wallpaper on Windows, this update was forced onto every machine using Windows without you doing anything.
It’s not the end of the world sure, but Microsoft would end up with a mass of angry users complaining about it. Of course, Microsoft would never allow something disruptive like that to happen, as they actually want to keep a good community standing.
I don’t understand it, but it would seem Roblox is taking the opposite approach, doing whatever it is they want, waiting for community outrage, then either ignoring it, or making a lazy at best attempt to fix it.
While I get that Roblox is pushing for change on the platform, it comes up time and time again that large parts of the community are just not up for it. If Roblox is so set on making the platform into something different, they should invest in making a new engine entirely where they;
- Won’t disrupt thousands of players actively playing and developing on the platform
- Are free to make the new platform in any style they wish without community outrage
- Won’t destroy millions of creations the community has built over the nearly 17 years the platform has existed
This reply could probably be it’s own post, in any case I really hope Roblox will change how they go about future updates and features.

the absolute state of this thread
no doubt brigaded by communities of whichever youtubers are complaining about this
empty threats of leaving to other platforms
people complaining about the “desecration” of some “classic era” they werent present for
all for an optional feature that they dont understand in the first place
Good bait, needs a little more flair though.
Again, faces being taken offsale in favor of dynamic heads is, quite literally, desecrating the classic R6 look, with no OFFICIAL way of gaining them back.
And it’s been explained not only once, but at least three times here and in a separate feedback thread somewhere in this forum, so I don’t know where you’re getting both the ‘optional’ part nor the ‘don’t understand’ part of your comment from.

People in this post can read, in f as t everyone’s mad that they’re taking the classic faces offsale and they’re selling the dinamic ones at a higher price (like free = 120 Robux)

This is an awful change. The old faces were perfectly fine and these new “dynamic heads” look honestly terrifying. At least bring back the classic faces alongside the new ones since you say you want users to be able to express themselves more and most peoples’ definitions of expressing themselves don’t include looking like a literal demon.

Exactly, but the problem is that they cost more now, I don’t think anybody would be against that idea (at least, I wouldn’t) but if the face was free and you have to pay 120 Robux to get it nooooooo I won’t thanks
Plus games that edit decals on faces will be broken, so I don’t know how to fix that
the “classic faces” and “classic heads” tabs in the avatar editor look very official and very optional to me
this is simply universal tooling for developers wanting to use facial capture
This is my opinion.
I believe this idea is great, love to see the platform advance more and more, but for someone who maybe does not posses a webcam they wont be able to get the full experience in motion faces.
I’m starting to think they’re trying to push the blocky avatars into new avatars, Like I said I like the idea but I want to be able to still have classic faces, I think they should keep the Classic faces and stay offsale, but instead of updating them into the new heads they should make a duplicate for the faces like an option were you can turn on new face or classic face. Just a thought.
Decal faces have performed greatly and made Roblox what it is. But I agree that it’s time to upgrade heads. The faces are in early development stages and aren’t appealing. I hope that they will be improved and that people will eventually grow to enjoy them, as it’s a fundamental step in keeping up with the newest technology and making Roblox better overall.
