Now I officialy have 10000 hours in the Path of Exile franchise (still not a single mirror drop tho)
Bro, PoE 2 came out 211 days ago, thats 12h per day playing… Holy shit.
What can I say? I like the thing and I’m lucky I can play it for how long I want.
Just curious: are you a streamer or something? How do you manage to average 12h a day?
Not a streamer or content creator… Just a regular guy. I don’t even think people would like to see me playing, im not really entertaining in video.
Playing 12 hours of games everyday isn’t ‘just a regular’ guy.
Well, I had weird poe2 numbers as well since I work from home. Left the game open 18h a day more or less, not even at night, unless I dced or something while sleeping. But if he actually played 12h a day, that’s very cool too
I play that much as a uni student
Where do you get money for living if you play 12h a day and ain’t content creator/streamer, are you an oil prince from Dubai or what?
I understand your curiosity but I’m not willing to talk about my personal life on the internet.
That’s totally fine mate, I was just curious, cheers!
Its one of Elons mappers, guaranteed.
Somehow they got out of the basement
Bro is living the dream Keep gaming chad
ta milionario em ze kkkkkk
Yeah why would you tell it on an anonymous forum 🤷🏻♂️
Probably because people are rude and weird 🤷
Name check!!
Some people got the money early in life and retire, some people have family that gives them food and house so they can live freely.
I know few people like these in second option and they are not super rich or something.
Word. Fm running in the background makes me look like I no life it
I’m single with no children and have a comfortable life, I think if I really wanted to… I work 9-5, but don’t really have any responsibilities, I could jam from about 5 to about midnight on weekdays so that’s like 7 hours a day there. And I have no obligations most weekends which could be like 15 if I no lifed super hard.
Yeah, nah, that’s a shit ton even for me. I have 4800 hours and I joined basically just before Betrayal league? I think unless you retired early or have a very specific line of work where you don’t have to actively do too much 2000+ hours in less than a year is fuckin wild.
And also they no doubt leave their game open. These steam hour stats are always bogus
Exactly. I have 2600 hours and more than half of that is leaving the game open.
Yes definitely, my hours are massively inflated from trade logging at work
Yeah, my buddy was mocking me for spending 40 hours in-game with not much to show for it. I had just left it open for most of the weekend.
Just odd the people that claim to have played every hour…
That’s probably him: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1ls47pd/an_anonymous_person_who_made_a_7800_investment_in/
Gotta be one of Elon’s paid players lmao
Parents
I believe the Japanese call this behavior “NEET”.
That’s none of your f business. Judge all you like but also GFY.
Respectfully, playing an average of 12h per day over 211 days, is not something a regular guy does or even could if they wanted to.
Just a regular guy
Nothing regular about sitting for 12+ hours a day without getting paid for it my guy
Well, that’s why.. you gotta “matter” (have a following that is inclined to make purchases to grow GGG’s stonks) to get the legit mirror drops. Or just ask the Chinese mirror duping bots real nicely.
I’d assume they’re on disability or something.
There are 3 ways you can do this.
Be rich
Play games as a job
Leeching
He could just leave it logged in to listen for trades or have a work from home job and plays instead of working
I have a lot of friends that have insane numbers on games like this. Pretty sure, not saying this is the case here, they just leave it open when they aren’t playing.
What can I say except you’re welcome
Still ticks if on leaves the game on overnight or between gaming sessions generally. But still!
Thats for both POE and POE2
He said franchise so I’m assuming also POE1
He has 2700h in PoE2, he’s correct. It’s almost 13h per day on average of PoE2.
U blind?
2700 hours poe2
Still sane, Exile?
No Zana. I lost it a long time ago… But you learn to ride with it. Also: “Another day in damnation”
Sorry but the mirror was just about to drop when you switched over to Poe 2
it was in a chest they just ran by.
Always the chests
Don’t know if this a meme but I have seen maybe 1 or 2 mirrors drop from a rare/boss and every other one from a chest/strongbox
hours doesnt mean clicking and playing all the time, guys
just leave the game open
doesnt mean anything
Exactly. I’m curious how much of it is active play vs timed out login screen. I’m about 7k but prob around 60-70% is afk in login screen overnight or with characters open but playing around in PoB followed by altering the character, testing, to tweak more in PoB.
Yep. /killed is a much more accurate measure, I know some people who spend 1 hr doing 3 maps while some people can do 30 or even more. Time is not the same for everyone
I think they may work from home. I try to trade while working, so I have like 10 mins of actual game interaction while im AFK for hours. I try to remember to log out so people to dont whisper me, but the nature of the job is someone will randomly message and then I completely forget poe2 is open

Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted
What if it’s his way of engaging with life? Who makes the rules?
The value of health, social connection, and personal growth isn’t disputed. It’s backed by decades of research. You can live however you want, but let’s not pretend every lifestyle is equally good for you.
The value is not equal for everyone. Also he can still do/have those things.
Funnily enough smokers are one of the most social people, yet it’s one of the most unhealthy habits you can have.
Everyone lacks in some department and there is no such thing as a perfect human being, you can argue that everyone’s being inefficient or unhealthy in one way or another.
Also he just kept his games open for most of the day, he obviously wasn’t actually playing all that time.
It’s kind of ironic to bring up smoking, one of the most widely condemned and medically harmful habits, as a defense. Saying “smokers are social” doesn’t make smoking good for you, just like someone being chatty while gaming for 12 hours doesn’t mean the habit itself isn’t damaging.
Acknowledging imperfection isn’t the same as pretending every lifestyle is equally healthy. The idea that “we’re all flawed” is an aimless claim that doesn’t lead anywhere. You can’t just handwave away conversations by saying everyone does unhealthy things. Some habits are objectively riskier than others, even if people enjoy them.
Embrace nihilism.
Nothing matters.
That sounds exhausting.
It’s kind of the opposite of exhausting?
Well that is just like your opinion man.
Judging others is also not a great way to handle life.
You know zit about that person’s life. They might have a physical or mental illness, live somewhere in the world where you’re better off staying off the street, or a myriad other things.
Also you can play 12 hours a day and be otherwise healthy if you’re eating correctly and exercising a bit. Plenty of people out there working 12h office jobs without problem.
This is your mistake right here, who cares if it’s healthy or not?
OP probably should care if it is or not
Why
The key is that they are happy. You show me somehow who hasnt been with their SO and thought “I wish I was playing video games instead of doing such and such” and ill show you liar lol
how do you know they’re happy?
Great idea grass biome can drop better stuff
Do we really need a calculator for that?
Here’s what’s weird about this post. The OP wants to brag and let us see his ungodly amount of time played posting screenshots of said playtime and knows full well that we would get out the calculator and figure out his daily played time.
But then can’t explain the basics of how he could survive making ends meet 🤣
I’ll tell you the secret how OP got these hours. By Leaving the game running at the title screen, that’s how
Way to go OP!👍
Have you considered that he may be wealthy?
There are quite a few people out there who gut lucky or had early success and simply don’t have to have a job anymore.
Bro got possibly 23 octchillion divs.
They sent you on a mission that cannot be accomplished…
Start juicing maps harder and then you will see mirrors : D
Does juice affect it? I got my only mirror in a magic t3
Yes, more monster / more quant on them (all sorts) heavily influence how likely it is to drop a mirror (which is why you can deterministically farm them in poe1 in most leagues)
No you can’t. Even empys group rarely find mirrors. They found one this league but it’s the first one in a few years.
Empys group plays for a week and also generally doesnt go for the the most efficient path early on they can push to high tier content pretty fast - but later on its just better to do the same stuff as a solo player. Currently the juice isnt too strong so yeah a mirror is relatively unlikely (will happen with a decent grind). In other leagues (phrecia, affliction etc) you’d drop them left/right if you were hard grinding at the pinnacle
Which one do you enjoy more and why?
Oh I can already see that some people will be hurt from my answer, but lets do it:
I abandoned PoE1 quite some time ago… So while I have 7600 hours in it, lots of the new stuff I missed. I believe I stop playing it around the Sanctum league (and thats the reason why I also hate it in PoE2 in the shape of the Sekhema trials). But I didn’t stop playing because of the league, was because the changes they were making to crafting. I remember I got really pissed because of some heavy nerf for my bow at that time and stop playing it completely. Yeah, I know… silly, but was what happened.
So I only came back for PoE2 and I’m really enjoying it… as I said, some things I still dislike, like the Sekhema as the way to ascend your character. But overall I prefer PoE2 and I don’t see myself coming back to PoE1.
I also enjoy poe2 (400h) more than poe1 (900h) while also being completely mad at poe2 current state. Hard to explain, but the combat has me hooked.
Me neither bro for me it was let’s kill magic find because it hurts build variety and they introduced t17 than Poe 1 died for me too after 4K hours
But I’m not to amazed by Poe 2 either have idk 300-440 h
You’re due for one
I hope you like the franchise.
Me and my buddies started back in February and one of them got a mirror last league like a month before it ended lmao. He only has like 300 hours in the game at most, but now im motivated to get one myself so im still grinding😂
Never never target farm raw mirrors. It’s like saying “I spend my salary buying lottery tickets, just gotta grind more tickets and I’ll win”.
I dont target farm specifically for it, its more of a ill enjoy playing and getting upgrades until i get one and then have all the div i need to get whatever i want basically so then ill be bored, i play cause i have fun but my buddy getting that mirror last league really did make farming less fun cause as a group we had everything we wanted or needed at that point
Sorry yeah. I was just worried a new player set a goal that takes literally 3000 hours of blasting juiced maps
Oh hell naw, i might be new in terms of time played but ive learned alot quickly, im an ex osrs player
I feel you, I’m closing in on the same total time between POE1/2 and console/PC. Never dropped a mirror, never dropped a MB, not even a HH! I’ve dropped enough currency to buy them all but it’s not the same!
I’m on 11.7k ish, still havent found one or a shard. I’m not too worried about it anymore
Rare shit is rare.
So do you know what youre doing?
Been playing since 2015. I got my first mirror last league after 14000 hours in. You are almost there!
Yep I’m on like 13k hours since day one open beta and no mirror drop. One mirror shard in harby league. I’m also bad and play strictly scuffed HCSSF builds so I never get into the super juiced up 100% delirious t16s. One day I will be released from this hell. One day.
Need that streamer client.
Thank you for the math help
Almost 18k hours, no mirror. Bought my only mage blood and headhunters.
rookie numbers, I got 30k in poe 1 and never seen one drop
“sou herdeiro” vibes these screenshot have.
The real question should be how much of that is actual play time. Steam shows I have 2603 hours, but I know I actually haven’t played anywhere near that. Most of it is from leaving the game running in case of trades.
Maybe sink an hour or 2 doing maths so you wont need a calculator.
é um jogo completamente desbalanceado, não importa o que os amantes vão dizer, o s devs fazem isso de proposito ! eu estou fora dessa merda!
Congrats! Portuguese titles so:Parabéns jovem!🇧🇷🇵🇹
brother..
Hideout is lava and you are en fuego
Oof. 7800 hours
I have twice that, since 2011, still no mirror. Found my first mageblood a week ago tho.
Get a job.
dont forget to exercise tho
Que isso meu parceiro, coloquei 200h e acabei enjoando, gostei muito da primeira versão, mas após os nerfs desisti
Grass Man…. Grass…
Proof that it’s not pay to win
Protip: get a job.
Oh.. I have 6k and 2 mirrors. Xdx
Bro, either you don’t know how to juice your map, or you got stuck in low T maps, because there is no way you play patch 0.2.1 without divine drops. I have 1 divine each 4⁄6 maps, with at least 2 chaos per map,and i’m a noob so no way you can be that unlucky.
I’ve been playing on and off since 2013 and got my first mirror drop this league. Gl bro
WOW
I have like a combined 1347 hours played and thought that was much…. holy moly
Leaves game running all day i bet, haha
Weak numbers I’m at 12 k on steam and some on standalone with no mirror ,headhunter and not raw mageblood drop(key)
My Headhunter on PoE1 was with Einhar (at least the one i remember). Mageblood I got from drop once.
I never dropped a mirror but i made at least 2 in trade, so i at least saw the thing… just never see one dropping.
In PoE 2 my luck seems to be worse. I only got my Kalandra’s Touch after they changed the drop for uniques recently… so it was already worth nothing compared with it used to cost.
