Sir_Lagsalot Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm in the market for a certain unusual hat. I'm currently arguing with myself over the Stormy Storm effect and a Orbiting Fire. I don't really want to mention the hat, because I don't want some dick to go out of his way and purposely raise the price of the hat (But i'm sure if you search hard enough, you'll find it). So I came to the community. Which would you rather? A Stormy Storm *KOFF*spy*KOFF* hat or a Orbiting fire one? I've seen threads where people say Stormy Storm>Orbiting Fire, but they weren't for a spy hat. So, guys, may I ask you a favour and vote on this website and comment below?

♥Prof. Sugarcube♥ Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 how on earth can we rise the price of a 2nd gen unusual, 99% of the time they always LOWER in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobmeister Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Effect tier generally isn't affected unless a certain effect is themed with the class (Flies for Sniper, Burning for Pyro at times, etc) Generally, Stormy Storm is more valuable than Orbiting Fire, but if you're worried about the looks, then it shouldn't be a concern, there's generally not a huge gap in value between the two.

DinoSir Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think stormy looks better, my backpack might make me appear biased though. Stormy also tends to be worth more. Its just more visible and prevelant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!каблам Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Orbiting fire is just a big red dot Stormy storm is a huge-ass cloud with rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slippery Snail Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Stormy Storm is definately my faveorite effect, it all comes down to what you prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LENNY™ (⇄) Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I prefer Orbiting Fire :3 But really, I'll take any effect on any hat at this point because I'm poor af ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoid Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I would go with the stormy storm one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLΔCK Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Either works as long as it fits in your budget. On lower tier hats the difference between storm and orbiting fire price-wise is pretty minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil to live Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Unusuals are all opinion based, buy whatever you like. Alternatively, you can use tf2loadout.com to czech out a plethora of unusual effects/cosmetics. I think it's quite obvious however, which effect is more...charming or visible, because essentially Orbiting Fire is just a small orange dot that rotates around the character's face/head.

omnii Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I've had an orbiting fire L'homme (BURGER) Burglerre and it wasn't that horrible, despite the fact I thought I hated orbiting fire. O. Fire is now considered better over stormy imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forb Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Stormy Storm's definitely in my top 5 favourite effects, Orbiting Fire's down there with Steaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedoof Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Stormy >>> orb fire, especially on spy. Doesn't matter a whole lot since you'll be disguised 90% of the time, but I'd definitely go for stormy. Also, if you're worried about the price of one or the other changing, you could ask one of us to update the price of them. Don't remember who off the top of my head, but a bunch of us take requests to update unusuals, so you could ask around and see if anyone can fix the prices now so they don't change later.

(ง ͠° ͟ل ͡°)ง Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I do love orbiting fire but you can hardly see it. Stormy all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Lagsalot Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 thanks guys! I am probably going to choose Stormy Storm, but i'm really in no fuss about the price. I've gambled away $200 worth of unusuals I traded up to in a few months, and just re-reached my $100 mark a few days ago! I just really liked the idea of the fireball going around my head :3. Gonna check tf2outpost(loadout).com to compare the looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankingBot Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 on heads>overheads>orbiting, but orbiting fire is one of my more favored orbiting effects, halloween effects are my favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
