We’re updating Heads!

Jeez there’s a lot of backlash here. Guess I’ll throw in my thoughts as well.

First of all, I just wanna point out that dynamic heads are a bundle type. If you’re taking classic faces offsale, at least include them in the new bundles.

This way, people can still obtain classic faces, and they get both the dynamic and classic variants of the face for one price, instead of having them be separate purchases. I don’t see any good reason to not do this.

I get that you want people to use dynamic heads, but they’re not a perfect replacement for some of the classic ones, and there’s a lot of weird compatibility issues with existing items.

• They’re not all 1:1 recreations. Just compare some of them.

• Classic faces can be worn on any classic head shape you want, provided it supports 2D faces. Animated faces have the limitation of only supporting whatever head shape they were created with, normally either the default block head or the Woman head. I’m guessing Roblox just picked whichever classic head+face combination was most popular, to decide which base head to model animated faces onto.

• Why are they so expensive compared to their original 2D counterparts? The “Err…” face used to be 70 Robux before it was taken offsale. The dynamic version is 300.

• What’s with the weird naming conventions? Why don’t they just use the same name as their original 2D counterparts? What is “Devon Default” supposed to mean? This is just the Woman head.

• Why can individual face items (moods/eyebrows/eyelashes) not be customized? We should have some UI in the avatar editor for this.

• What’s going to happen to Limited classic faces? If Roblox is taking all classic faces offsale, then are these going to be the only ones remaining? Converting these to dynamic heads won’t work, since dynamic heads are a bundle type, and you can’t trade bundles. Unless Roblox is planning on somehow making bundles tradeable…

• And what about existing bundles that already include classic faces? We’re already seeing this happen with, for example, the “Woman” bundle and the “Makeup Minimalist” head, but having them be two separate purchases is just messy.

• Also, the neck and face attachments are still offset. Please fix this sometime.

I have nothing against dynamic heads and I think they have a lot of potential, I just don’t understand how they’re being rolled out.
