What has it come to when they are charging twice the price of complete a finished AAA game for one playable item from a game that isn't finished? 10 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miessa3 Beta Tester 1,650 posts 8,204 battles Report post #6 Posted April 1, 2019 what do you mean? It costs the same as Alaska and that was also released with a similar bundle. My favourite is the bundle in the armory for over 100.000 dubloons with all the space camos. The maximum amount you can buy in one go is 50k dubloons for 167,49 € (from my place). You can't even afford that bundle if you buy the maximum twice when going from 0. just wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that price will make sure i will never be tempted to buy it.....not that i can not afford it, but in my opinion it is too much for a(n unlimited amount of) copy of a 3D model. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the same amount in Bergen price having a night out. But If I buy beer for 102£ at my workplace. That will amount to about 48 cans of 0,5 litres of Pilsner. Hmmm, I suddenly have a craving for beer. Brb. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You go out and have eight pints, a curry, a taxi home, and a bollocking when you get home, and £103 seems no worse than a night out but without all the aggro. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are comparing prices & exchange rates. Beer is a good item to compare prices & value for money by. Isn't this (value for money) the topic at hand? UK 103 is, like, around Cdn 200. I could buy almost 100 tall cans (16oz) of Ita import Peroni beer (you know - what looks like its on the mast of the Roma, lol). Alternately, around 8 x 24 cans of commercial Cdn crap beer.

This sum is even more telling. WG would not put it in there if there where no players close to or even above that amount of Dublons stored up. Unless ofcourse it is ment as a Aprilsfools jike, which i do not believe. Personally I know of a few players who have 50-60k Dublones on hold from lucky drops, lootboxes and events. But I have never seen anyone with over 100k Dublones. But seems like they do exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
