i doubt this will be seen since theres already so much discussion here but, please at the very least implement a feature where buying an animated face comes with its classic counterpart

Is it that hard to listen to the community? No one wants dynamic heads.

I’m sure everyone has mixed opinions about dynamic heads - both good and bad - but it’s just how they’re being forced on users that caused some dissatisfaction within the community.

Literality none of the backlash would’ve happened if they had said this in the first place, so there defiantly is a communication problem over at Roblox tbh.
But yeah, I’m glad classic faces still live to see another day at least.

I honestly don’t see how and why this is necessary, by that I mean using a camera to do facial expressions. Especially due to the fact that its mostly a younger player base on the platform, yes its kinda a cool idea however I still don’t see it being one that is necessary. Not to mention privacy, yes it may be deleted, BUT knowing what I personally know and believe to be true, technology etc in regards to this kind of thing can be used for something bigger, or bad. We unfortunately live in a world now where its like everything’s after your identity.
The only good thing I do see this being is for animated faces for characters in games etc.

So we will get free copies of the heads that match the faces we already own?

I think that should be the case here:

They don’t (in terms of being sold in the catalog), he’s quoting an old (2 years old, to be precise) concept video.

Roblox really needs to make another response to clear up all the confusion.

Roblox has a trend of doing this.

Roblox seems to have an obsession with erasing their past. I’m willing to guarantee R6, and maybe even blocky avatars (highly unlikely), will be gone in the future. Just like you said, for a platform that is so based on expressing yourself and imagination, they sure make it hard to do just that.

Head size also changes when I remove the animated face. And with the animated face equipped, the neck stays in the air

This update should be cancelled, or at least make default faces available

It’s pretty disappointing that Roblox is Removing something that has been around for years,
and that the Next Generation of players will see these YouTubers with their 2D faces, get excited and make an account, and then be let down.
Kinda like new fortnite players wondering how to get “Take The L”.
These new players will see us, their ancestors, with our 2D classic faces and wonder, “Why don’t I get to be special like them? Why do I not get treated the same as the older players?”.
@Roblox , you shouldn’t remove the classic faces, not whenever the next generation won’t get to enjoy them.
Please reconsider. For the Children.

I don’t see why they can’t just keep the old faces as well? Like with the clothes for example, I don’t use the new clothes but I don’t mind the update it since you can still use the classic clothes. Instead they force an adaptation that most users would probably find uncanny and don’t fit with many accessories anyway. The facial expression thing is also creepy, an invasion of privacy, and unnecessary. And also, why do they cost way more robux than the original faces?
Roblox has been getting too accustomed to removing their history. Hopefully they listen to the community’s criticisms. I hope they don’t keep going down this path of fixing things that aren’t broken.

Removing classic faces and heads is a crime.
I like the dynamic faces! They are a very cool technology and iv been having a lot of fun with them.
But the fact is, classic faces and heads provide a unique style and aesthetic that is un replicated anywhere else. And thinking that the 3d animated heads are a replacement for the classic faces is kind of an oversight since most of them do not work with a lot of accessories.
I assume this means that R6 is going to be phased out to.
Keep the classic stuff up.

Dynamic faces is something new and interesting, but removing the old default faces was not the best idea…

I dont like this update because it doesn’t feel like roblox anymore, maybe instead use this for something else like its like there trying to achieve meta verse in roblox maybe just try collabing with meta and have this as avatar characters over there but i feel like roblox shouldn’t change there game too much there starting to drift from their general branding also who really needs this update? i feel like just youtubers can enjoy this

Well, why not just update the faces and add a check to animate/disable them? That would lower the disparity and reduce a lot of inconvenience for many people. It seems like such an unnecessary change for the future, when there’s a lot of concern about what it’s bringing to the platform. A lot of these changes that have been done are causing a lot of unnecessary complications to people, when a lot of it should be toggleable. This is a platform for everyone, right?

Not a single soul wants to use these awful looking disproportionate “faces” that are borderline uncanny valley and don’t even work with R6, but they’re forcing it on us anyway and removing the old ones as a result. Even if it’s a temporary change, what’s the point? Why strip us of options and charge MORE money for the new inferior versions of these staples while you beta test whatever this is?
