It isn’t always as one sided as the Banded Top Hats though. With something like the Pirate Captain’s Hat, it was sold for around five years with a transparent feather, before changes to Roblox’s rendering made it appear like a sketch on a piece of paper. Fix it or not, there’s going to be a lot of people complaining either way, but I think the artist’s intent tips the scale in favor of fixing the problem after so long.

If Roblox ever fixes the pirate hat to use SurfaceAppearance, someone could just sell the standalone “feather” as a UGC hat “add-on” that you can combine with the hat, if anyone really wanted to restore the previous look that badly, so I don’t think fixing it would be too disastrous.

But to be fair, for most of its existence it has had a broken feather, so a lot of people might not even be aware that it was meant to look different.

The only real problem is that the fixed version wouldn’t work in R6, because R6 avatars can’t load MeshPart accessories.

These classics are historic items and for years users have made them part of their Roblox identity / style / brand and have been accustomed to these items as they are, flaws and all.

Although I am certain the change requests and updates for these particular accessories have been made with good intentions (in improving them). Personally I agree with some others here that really these items should no longer be modified. (Exception for extreme cases such as item not functioning or rendering etc…)

They are a part of Roblox’s history and deserve to be preserved as they are including their flaws and imperfections.

Maybe someone could make a thread about preserving historic accessories? Could spark an interesting discussion.

Thanks

Hello there,

I am glad to say that this change has been reverted.

I would also like to clarify that I wasn’t the one who modeled the new version and had no intentions of ruining the classic accessory.

Sincerely,

The question then becomes whether we follow artist’s intent as a pair of inverted CWHP, or original release and bevel the headband to get similar shading to how these looked in 2014. I’d personally go sharp, but I can see why some people would prefer the smoother look, especially with the shading being more noticeable on solid white.

If the update looked like this it would be really good, its just roblox ruined the icon and flatout did the easiest most cheesiest replacement that could have been thought out
Someone needs to re run this but ensure an image like that and the icon is similar if done, an advanced update that ensures the smoothness can happen without the confrontation
at the end of the day roblox butchered it, i remember when it looked like that and honestly it looks amazing

about the tiniest thing ever to ruin things for everyone thanks

Nobody making these reports is out to ruin? Mistakes in items by asking staff to fix them. Some of us are just perfectionist who like items to be perfect. I’m sure the guy who made this report wasn’t sitting there sniveling as he made this report like it was some evil plan . He found a bug and reported it. If you want to complain about Roblox, go ahead but don’t go after some random guy who made a bug report

Hey folks, responding on behalf of the team. Please remember to stay respectful and on-topic when you reply to bug reports. We do not tolerate harassing community members, including our staff. Those posts have been removed.

Thanks to the majority of you that left respectful feedback that didn’t target the OP or our staff. This is the best way to reach the right solution together, as seen here. The change has been reverted according to your feedback.

With these item change requests, sometimes it’s hard to determine what the right action is to take. In this specific case we acknowledge that it’s better to leave the item as-is as it is not widely available anymore and some folks might have nostalgia about the item or bought it specifically because of the way it looks. We also acknowledge your feedback on undesirable changes to the perspective of the 2D thumbnail of the item.

We’ll talk internally about how to best handle potentially controversial change requests to items in the future. Thank you all for your swift feedback here so that we could quickly remediate it.

Roblox at its best is Roblox when it’s being honest and open with the community. Lots of people will appreciate this response, thank you!

Personally, I disagree with the idea of classic items not getting fixed or improved just because of “nostalgia”. Other than the thumbnail being wrong it wasnt a major change and people harassing this guy and the staff should rethink life. I think the mesh should be changed to be like how it was when it first released and the seams should also be fixed.
