Fishman465 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 I'm curious about other opinions. Mine? It's a mistake as by doing so, it basically put the rarest head at the non-existent mercy of the market autobuyers/ merchs (and the only way to keep up is to do the same thing basically) I feel this is a small betrayal as Iwasn't expecting Behemoth to do anything that might invoke memories of hat fortress 2. I'm not expecting any changes, but I feel I had to vent a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishman465 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 I'd be closer to buying that if it was a free to play game (i.e. most of the other games w/ summer event exclusive items) as opposed to something one pays about 10 bucks to own. And the way it goes will likely backfire as not many people want to pay too much for a head (more so as most new heads are very cheap during their runs) Also I forgot to note it early, but the Xbox player base has no such worries (miss a head's run? There'll be another down the line) I mean if the head was DLC I'd buy it even if it was a few bucks (certainly cheaper than what people are selling it for), so would other people. They'd love to support the company, not so much souless market merchs only out to make a buck. I'm hoping this is the last time they do something like this or else I'd have to put up warnings about it being hat fortress 2 (i.e. stay clear) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derekis 77 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 I hated the idea. I thought the heads (especially Lava Lamp) would be very rare on Steam and Xbox due to high chances that they won't be re-released anymore. Also off topic, I got all three from the steam market and here is the prices I got them for: Scuba Steve: Just 0.03$ Hatzilla: Maybe like 0.70$ Lava Lamp: Oh gosh, I was crazy enough to buy this guy for 18.99$! That's a crazy choice and price. Don't believe me? Here's proof! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultanoka 580 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Lava lamp is my favorite head and so when I heard you could only get it by having a rare chance of crafting it or by buying it for 13 dollars I was extremely disappointed, hopefully this will be the last time The Behemoth does something like this.

NecroMancer 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I think its a great idea, adds some kind of rarity to the game's Heads instead of people just having the full set of Heads after a couple of weeks. Making a few of the rare actually gives them some 'Star Head' status, instead of just being another set of Heads to farm. Regarding the Summer Sale I don't mind, gives you something extra for spending money, alongside getting a lot of awesome games for really cheap. I personally didn't spend anything, but the Head rarity is just another bargain I look forward to. Edited June 30, 2014 by NecroMancer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King 47 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Lava lamp will be rereleased on Xbox. It's only been released once, and they said they will re - release all the special heads again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well in time older heads would cost more than if they freshly came out, and the issue is that the heads are in control of merchs who'll likely charge so much that even TF2 items would be cheaper in comparison. No one wants to buy a game that they'd have to pay 2+ times the games' cost just to get all the heads. Lava lamp will be rereleased on Xbox. It's only been released once, and they said they will re - release all the special heads again.

Memor 270 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 If they put Lava Lamp as a feature head after this, I'll be extremely upset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishman465 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 Even if they were to change their minds, I doubt they'd have it as a weekly or feature head any time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
