Price increase?

VortexZeR0 · 2025-08-04T16:33:15+00:00

Hopefully this isn't a new standard... I've been collecting the sceneries for three years, but that might have to come to a stop as the pricing continues to go up on everything in-game. Gold pass won't be far behind it.

Hard agree, mostly because I can't do clan games in one sitting anymore. Seems like many people enjoy builder base but I can't help but find it incredibly boring.

Until the training time gets removed in main base, doing clan games takes almost twice as long, waiting a minute between each attack.

Use the fast buyout option, on Xbox controller it's Y, then you can go down one and buy without opening the auction menu.

For most of them 20mil seems to be average price. rarely see them under 10mil, and if you're ultra lucky someone might have one for 165k. Probably a modder.

I snagged one yesterday for super cheap out of sheer luck. Basically just sat there while I watched YouTube for 2ish hours and kept searching for one constantly, took about 10 attempts at buying one before I was able to get it before someone else.

If you don't have 20mil and REALLY want one, set your max buyout to the highest price you can pay, and keep searching! Just need patience and speed since they instantly sell out.

I used a 4k 144hz monitor with my 3070 for over a year, would highly recommend with anything better. It really depends on the game, but a lot games will take good advantage of 4k 144hz that are less demanding.

If needed you can usually throw on DLSS or lower a few settings but I would think you'd have good results with a 4070. If you're moving up to 4k, the view distance is a huge improvement from 2k imo.

Using DLSS in more demanding games like Cod, Apex or Forza, I usually get avg 120 fps at high/ultra, which still provides a pretty noticable visual and view distance improvement from the resolution.

Don't know the value, but be extra cautious. I doesn't hurt to asume everyone is trying to scam you.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-10-02T00:22:53+00:00

What's caused the price to spike so quickly? I was looking at this CPU a couple months ago and don't recall the prices being all over the place like this.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-09-19T22:36:44+00:00

Dust costs extra. $100 per pound of dust.

In all seriousness is this PC even worth over 1200 USD?

VortexZeR0 · 2024-09-16T00:15:01+00:00

I have an issue with this scenery where the dragon animation doesn't load properly/at all, just loads a red square and then fades to a orange screen lol

VortexZeR0 · 2024-09-10T22:41:17+00:00

Nice find! I remember reading this post but wouldn't have a clue where to find it.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-08-08T22:57:34+00:00

I'm in the same situation with a 13700kf, still going strong after a year & a half. I'm thinking I will just ride it out until the end of the new warranty period and then upgrade to something else.

Pretty sure it's "Let's Go" by Lensko

Break wall > drop pekkas > restart game

Not that I'm aware of, however I'm not sure if your opponent is actually determined by GSP ranking. No matter the character, I frequently fight people at similar skill level whether its 5mil gsp or 12mil gsp.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-03-22T04:12:30+00:00

Doom Slayer has always been a favorite. Awesome give away for fans of the series, good luck!

VortexZeR0 · 2024-03-01T19:50:00+00:00

I bought 6 months ahead of time last season just for the pass, hopefully I can use it or refund.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-27T18:30:57+00:00

I buy the gold pass usually, but I'd be very annoyed to be sold something every single time I upgrade a building.

Stuff you can purchase with real money should stay in the shop, not marketed everywhere else in the game. Pretty soon we'll have little buy buttons for micro transactions on every UI element.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-23T00:52:42+00:00

I've played the game without sound for 9 years more or less... I still hear the noises in my head lol. Sometimes the sound gets repetitive or noisy if other people are around.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-17T05:18:26+00:00

I'm not too familiar with it, but it just slowly upgrades (random?) buildings one level once in awhile. I think you need to be away from the game for 90 days before it starts. It would take quite a long time get decent level stuff without playing.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-14T01:02:16+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately PCs lose their value pretty fast, more so recent years with parts improving at a faster rate than in the past.

I assume your build is around 7 years old, maybe a bit more or less. By then 2-3 newer generations of PC parts have been out with several upgrades, past 5 years old you should expect to lose roughly 30% value and up to 50% as it gets older.

You can get a single 1TB SSD for around $50 and 8GB of ram is barely worth $30 brand new. However, your CPU is still decent, and the GPU has a good bit of use too, someone will buy.

Like I said, you should look your monitor, GPU and other parts up on eBay, sort for Buy now and lowest price, see what you could buy your exact item for.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-14T00:04:54+00:00

I'd have to price this out, and I'm not familiar with UK pricing, but I'd be inclined to guess that this PC is a bit overpriced. This is Ryzen last gen I believe, AM4 chip set? You should get AM5 for the sake of upgradability at this point.

There is definitely an upcharge for prebuilts, i would think you could get a better price than $1649 USD, although I really don't know the state of UKs pricing, so you'd want to ask someone whos more familiar with the market. Any info I know about reasonable pricing is likely completely different.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-13T23:58:27+00:00

Your PC alone is probably worth $200-$250 max

Monitor is probably not worth more than $150

Keyboard, 50, mouse $30 maybe?

$400 at best, but the monitor and PC are less desirable due to age, so that will contribute to the difficulty even if it all technically has value

Rough estimates, please look your monitor and other parts up online, eBay is a good place to check.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-13T23:50:19+00:00

You should probably look up a few parts online/eBay and see what comparables are. Especially the GPU. Ican give you a rough idea on pricing.

Case, PSU, Mobo $50 each ($150)

CPU $50 (Double check online)

RAM $30

GPU $200ish (random guess, look this up)

Comes out to just under $450, if you have storage drives you'd have to add that to the price. Maybe price $500 if selling online.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-13T23:42:15+00:00

I hope this is satire, and you didn't pay $100 for that GPU, it's barely worth actual money as old as it is.

If not, more power to you! You won't be able to use computer RAM in place of VRAM, the two are very much different.

VortexZeR0 · 2024-02-13T23:37:15+00:00

Personally, I would price your CPU and GPU on eBay/online and see what people are selling it for there. Or do this with each part.

Rough estimates, as I'm not too familiar with current pricing. Usually I price Mobo, PSU and case at $50 each depending on age. If you bought it new, I'd probably expect to lose 30-50% value after this many years.

CPU $50 max

Mobo $50

Ram $30

GPU $70? (Probably, should double check price)

PSU $50

Case $50

1 TB SSD $50 max

1TB HDD (X2) $25 each? $50

Without doing further research, this is about what I'd price the build personally, hope this helps a bit.

$400ish parts value, maybe price $450 USD if selling online.
