Tell Roblox - Keep Classic Faces


Tell Roblox - Keep Classic Faces
The Issue
Recently, Roblox has announced that Classic Faces will be going away and replaced by Dynamic Heads that are more interactive. While the idea of dynamic heads aren't a bad one per say, it's a serious issue for many players.
You see, thousands of players are used to the classic faces and often use it. These have been a staple of Roblox since they came out in 2006. The fact that Roblox is removing one of their most fundamental parts of history is a disgrace to many veterans and newbies alike, including myself that has played Roblox for nearly ten years.
While some dynamic heads look okay, many of them look off-proportional or inaccurate to their original 2D counterpart. This can frustrate players that are used to the old, classic faces. Roblox keeps insisting that the faces look the "same", but if you clearly look at some of them, they are different and Roblox is trying to lie to us. This is not what companies should be doing.
In concept, dynamic heads seems like a great idea. The ability for users to express themselves while talking looks impressive. However, making them the sole standard is not going to work out in the long term. This has caused extreme drama within Roblox fans, even making fun of David Baszucki.
Rather than retiring classic faces entirely, we should make them coexist with the dynamic faces and let players choose if they want to keep the legacy, classic faces or go for the dynamic faces. This is like how Roblox has kept R6 and R15 alive for many years, but never decided to replace R6 with R15 because many players are still used to R6. The same should apply to faces. Let us have our own freedom and keep classic faces for players if they wish to keep using them. Thank you, and Roblox needs to have a good 20th anniversary; we don't want it to be screwed up.
