I guess it “bugged” some people, so yeah it counts as a bug, a different kind but still a bug.

Yessssss! Would this option replace the current moving heads with their old texture icons? That would be perfect!

I know it's for technical reasons, but even if the heads didn't move and didn't blink, they still wouldn't look good. They're scaled to be too small, as to not do the models justice. The only heads that fit the full circle are characters like Wormwood and Winona (again, I know its for technical reasons, but as a result, everyone else's chin appears too low in the circle, so the face itself isn't centered.) Finally there was the problem of it being fairly resource intensive, since not only was it a rendered model, but an animated model, compared to a simple TEX file.

So hopefully, if this option is implemented the way I hope it's going to be implemented, my UI will not only look better, but run better as well!

If the heads moving up and down was causing any sort of performance issues, being in the game world itself would bring your FPS down tremendously, to the point that the game would be unplayable.

So I take it this bug hasn't made it to the update list since there's no status change?

And? This items (timeless and loyal) as they were duplicates, so they remain.

I just wasted all my KLEI points on duplicates

It's not about the heads being laggy, it's about it further reducing frames for underperforming hardware.

Let's use a water usage analogy. A simple static TEX file would be like filling up a small glass with 150ml of water. The animated heads on the other hand would be like flushing a toilet. Odds are, your water bill can easily afford to do both, but it's still drastically different in scale.

So it's not about suddenly being unable to play DST thanks to the heads, it's about struggling to play it, and having further performance tanks due to said heads. Either way, we're getting the option to remove them, so hopefully that solves that.

Probably not, since the Winter's Feast lamp is offered yearly like the Swoon emote, and the Swoon emote hasn't gotten a Timeless variant.

Possibly at Christmas time, or we'll simply turn the drop back on for anyone who logs in at that time.

The emotes won't receive this treatment as having two variants with two / commands will just be confusing.

This one should be fixed now.

@ArubaroBeefalo Before, stumps that decayed would leave a single log when they got removed (assuming adequate spacing)

Now, they don't.

Oh i didnt know they let logs before i assumed that they always were removed to let trees regrow

No, it's the opposite of that before they wouldn't leave a single log, now they do.

So no need of prototyping a shovel xD

No, you don't understand.

Say you chop a tree and it drops 2 pinecones and 3 logs, but do not pick any of those up and do not dig up the stump. After a long time of being left alone (iirc 30+ days), the stump will despawn and it will delete the logs and pinecones you did not pick up, leaving only 1 pinecone and 1 log. In other words, letting stumps despawn deletes resources, it does not produce them.

I really really really feel like if someone gets a performance hit just from some animated heads on a character select, they wouldn't be able to handle the dozens of trees and plants and mobs all over the place even just around the spawn area anyway.

So now we have 2 versions of loyal skins, like Tragic Torch. Welp, I need a lot of points to get 'em all.

I like all skins equally.
