Imagine being this verifiably wrong, to say nobody was asking for it is ridiculous, considering the vast majority of players use the new avatars now. If it was as unpopular as you say, that would not be the case.
So what? What does this have to do with the upgraded bean update? Or anything at all for that matter?
No I didn’t, I never even mentioned weekly challenges until you brought it up here:
And my response is still that this thread is not for discussing the weekly challenges.
I said this to highlight the absurdity of people calling for the removal of features over constructive criticism on how these features can be improved/implemented in the future, not because I wanted to debate something off topic.
Still needed before i’ll consider it appripriate to retire the old bean (though personally i prefer and only use new bean), making slide and jump animations less goofy, fix any remaining glitches with hand cosmetics, camera being way further in front of where it used to be (i believe a good 10cm, could be wrong), make the “hide my torso” setting actually work, and this isn’t a current issue but PLEASE for the love of god be vigilant in making sure we never get the goofy full-body issue where in VR everything in the world looks colossal compared to when you’re wearing bean
New bean has a few things I’d like to change and fix before I’m comfortable using it.
The times I’ve used upgraded bean it was difficult to eat food items and drink potions (basically it feels like your mouth collision is off.) this might be fixed now but I’m still not sure.
Secondly the animations look so bad for VR players, the sliding animation is the worst for the new bean, the reason I love using the classic bean is because all the body parts are stationary and has no animations. So probably make the animations less wonky or just remove them for VR OR have a option in settings to turn animations on or off.
And lastly there’s so many bugs with it, for example sometime I can load into a room and my body will have different body adjustments to other player to what I actually made them. And I’ve seen this bug a lot where your body and get all twisted and turned into a mangled mess.
These are my personal thoughts on the new bean, I won’t be using it until the classic bean is fully removed and unusable.
I know this sounds Bad For old bean But I been using New bean And it not that bad I added a nose to my skull mask and it sad to see it go but I think this should be a good idea to do get everyone uses to it because well it new better in graphics and just away more usable
Sorry old bean User I have to go with RR with this one
so we’re retiring the bean avatar that every og player started with because “oh well there’s a lot of people who use the new avatars.” this is the same as taking the weekly away. the devs always give some dumb excuse like “more people use the new stuff and not enough people use the old stuff” which might be true but the old bean is iconic and I don’t understand how you can just take it away from the older players just like that💔
I’ve been playing since 2017 and ive seen just about everything the game has thrown at us. I can tell you right now that the complaints are honestly biased.
You’re dead right, the new bodies are great and there’s not a lot, besides the animations, that warrents an outcry. 90% of players who want the legacy body only want it because of aesthetics and that’s about it.
Personally i’ve lived it too, i switched my avatar to the new bean wren i got the chance.
The sad part too is you can make the new bean LOOK like legacy and its not even hard to do it, but i guess people are stubborn.
To be fair, I can’t speak much on classic or upgraded bean, as I switched to FBA as soon as it came out, and I haven’t switched back since.
That being said, I cannot tell at a glance whether someone is using the updated bean vs classic.
It looks like there’s plenty of valid criticism here on the upgraded bean that I wasn’t aware of like the ones @DarkVoid60 mentioned in their post on this thread.
However I do think that it’s much more logical to address and fix these issues going forward on the new bean, than it is to completely walk it back in favour of an outdated version that wasn’t built for the current system.
ESPECIALLY when 90% of the time I hear complaints, it’s not like the ones @DarkVoid60 mentioned, it’s always “It just looks bad”, which contributes nothing to the conversation whatsoever, and buries legitimate, constructive criticism in a sea of whining.
I wasn’t even aware that these things were problems for the new bean, thank you for posting actual constructive criticism instead of the onslaught of “RR is bad, I’m deleting my account”
Also, congrats on your first post, and welcome to the Creator Forum!
“retiring classic bean”
yeah no im done with this game. I understand the need to “evolve” or whatnot but I don’t see how classic bean hurts the game in its current state. The classic beans hands feel better than the new ones which feel smaller, the new ones mouths open down because of the noses where as classic would open center, and because of the camera position, last time i played using consumables and food with the new beans was a nightmare. Honestly yes, it is mostly an asthetic thing but when it has been shown time and time again the devs care more about money than they do the community (only 2% of people do weeklies so we’re removing it and that means f2ps dont get free skins nearly as easily really feels like the situation now)
Because the old bean wasn’t meant for growth and change the way the current ones are, plus with the addition of FBA, it makes sense that they would want to streamline their process by only having to work on one Skeleton.
It was less than 1% if I’m not mistaken.
Let’s say I make a game here on Rec Room, and I add a feature, and I have to update that feature every week, and less than 1% of people in my game use that feature
