Default Cowboy character?

Hello,

I just figured out that cowboy characker is not available to play, but I saw a player with that skin yesterday. Why is he blocked and will be possible to play as him in future?

Regards,

You mean our little Indiana Jones?
He was only available at a special event of sorts, aka via Pre-order of the Ball.
TWI said specifically that they would only allow you to get him then, and they keep their word.

yeah well it was something of an incentive to pre-ordering, and i guess opening it to all ball owners now is a bit unfair.
However in light of it being forever unavailable, it would be good if the character was removed from the selection screen of anyone who will never get to use it.

Harchier Spebbington *AKA, TWI's Indiana Jones* = Those who Pre-ordered "The Ball". Character is no longer avaliable (Evil TWI...)

Pyro = For those that own TF2 before a certain date, I forgot it at this point...

Bad Santa = For those that unlocked 10 of the 13 Christmas Achievements along with any Christmas Map achievement

I hope they add more although it should be noted that its quite hard to do so.

if you ask me, they should release an RO2 character, but instead of making it pre-order only, they should make it available to anybody that owns RO2, so as to avoid people feeling left out, because some people do feel like they are missing something, this would also result in a couple more RO2 sales for TWI.

Harchier Spebbington? I always thought his name was Bunglebuck Archfeld.

I just call him Indiana Jones anyway, so his real name doesn't matter to me one bit.

This so hard ^

Never mind an incentive to pre-order, how about an incentive to just buy the game?

Tbh as someone who has it and uses it, I'm not too fussed by others purchasing it.

On two conditions:

1) the one char would cost as much as a pack usually does
2) the char would have some key difference to mark him out as the commercially available version - a pink sweater or somesuch.

I would pay to get Bunglebuck again if he had a pink sweater.

I'd so play as Rik Mayall... How cool would it be if brit stars had cameos as their younger selves as KF characters, coupled with the voicework of said star?
