The Dusekkar, along with Doomsekkar, both have Fire and Smoke particles, but unfortunately there were scripts inside of each accessory that caused the particles to get disabled if they aren’t being worn by UserId 916, Matt Dusek.
This was the case for Doomsekkar (purple & green retexture) for the longest time, but sometime in 2018, this script was removed so that the particles would show up for everyone. Unfortunately, this was never fixed for The Dusekkar, meaning that its hundreds of owners don’t experience the hat like it appears on the website - with fire and smoke, which feels deceptive for anyone that received it. This would be important to fix, especially if Roblox ever plans to release The Dusekkar as a limited item.
Unless if this was intentional for The Dusekkar and not Doomsekkar when it released, I would expect for the script inside of it to be removed/disabled. If it was intentional for only Matt Dusek to have the special effects, the thumbnail of it shouldn’t include the fire/smoke, or it should be stated that the particles are ‘unlocked’ for Matt Dusek, since it was made for them.
Dusekkar was always a hat made for Matt Dusek, even thought it was made widely available. Thus, only Matt Dusek can trigger the particles. Doomsekkar and Ghosdeeri are retextures of the hat that, despite being retextures, were not specifically made as an item for Matt Dusek, thus everyone can trigger the particles. Think the Agonizingly Ugly Bucket of Doom vs its retextures
Doomsekkar having particles only for Matt Dusek was probably an oversight during the retexture. But when it comes to the Dusekkar it was intentional.
As for removing the particles on the website render, it’s probably not easily done without reworking how the backend displays particles.
Labeling a hat that hasn’t been available for anyone to own in over a decade that only it’s original inactive account owner can trigger the particles feels… insignificant.
It is possible they add the particles back, but then again Matt Dusek did alot for the site and its probable that its homage since the item was originally made for him.
I personally think accessories really shouldn’t contain scripts to begin with, and this script could easily be removed by adding the particle effects like you said. I think Roblox should do this.
This is conflicting information since The Dusekkar was originally intended for Matt Dusek himself. Despite this however; the item was given out anyways for the people who bought the Opened Silver Gift of Surprise - Roblox for 10,000 robux.
(Image taken from an Internet Archive snapshot, clearly showing that this was a problem back then even after it’s public release.)
Some people would even deem this as false advertisement, but I think it was intended to have particles for everyone. This item shouldn’t have been released if the thumbnail showcased fire particles even though the actual particles didn’t show in-game.
Making the particle work for everyone would be straight up disrespectful towards Matt Dusek, it’s like gifting someone a present but later taking a part of it back
It was not intended to have particles for everyone, why would the Dusekkar have a script inside it before it even released publically? Matt Dusek was the only one that owned it anyway so having a script inside when nobody else owned it wouldn’t make sense. The script was made for it’s public release.
I’m sure the only reason why Doomsekkar had it’s fire enabled for everyone almost 5 years later was because Matt himself never owned it, so having the script inside was pointless.
I mentioned this in a previous post but if the fire displaying on the website is a big deal then it can easily be fixed by having the fire instance disabled by default and have the script enable it for Matt when hes ingame. The only reason why the flames show on the website is because the flames are enabled by default and it only checks who’s wearing it when ingame.
It’s not really about how the particles displayed on the website, but it’s been a reoccurring issue since it’s release. People had the expectations of fire particles when they received the item., but it never appeared for them.
People spent 10,000 robux for this hat just to not get what was shown on the page; if they wanted to be respectful then it shouldn’t have been released in the first place.
People spent 10k robux not for the Dusekkar, but for the gift. In the Giftsplosion events you would buy a gift that would open into an item weeks later, so people who bought the gift didn’t even know it would open into a Dusekkar. This point is kinda weak
Even when it was a gift; it still opened into the dusekkar with it’s particles intact on the thumbnail. Again people had expectations from the preview alone when they received it, and yet didn’t get particles with their item.
I do think they should remove the fire and smoke from the thumbnail but letting everyone have the fire would be kinda stupid. Theres no reason for the fire to work for everyone since it was intended to work only for Matt
We think what makes this Accessory so unique is that only one person in the entire world can make the particles come to life, so we modified this Accessory so that the fire no longer shows up in the thumbnail.
