Given his famous love of Diablo IV, it comes as little shock that the aforementioned Musk would take an curiosity in Path of Exile 2, even going as far as to broadcast one among his play classes to his hundreds of thousands of Twitter/X followers.
Nevertheless, as Musk stumbled his means by his January seventh livestream, franchise followers started to notice a number of oddities that referred to as his declare of being one of many recreation’s finest gamers – as reasoned by his degree 97 account being among the many Prime Ten highest in all the world – into query.
Whereas a full, in-depth run down of the scenario would probably come throughout as near-incomprehensible to non-PoE gamers, streamer QuinTV offered a succinct rundown of the scenario by way of a video uploaded to his private Quin69TV YouTube channel bluntly titled ‘Elon Musk is Mendacity About Being Good at Video Video games’.
“Elon Musk’s character is at present degree 97, AKA rank 12 on Hardcore, that’s everlasting Dying Mode, commerce league [the in-game term for the seasonal league that allows for co-op play]” stated the streamer. “Two weeks into the league, when individuals are taking part in the sport, actually, they’re staying up 40 to 50 hours with out sleeping, solely taking part in Path of Exile, and they’re probably the most attempt arduous guys on the planet, and the very best ranked participant on the hardcore commerce league was degree 93.”
“And also you’re pondering to your self, ‘That’s form of shut 97,’” he continued. “Each time degree you up, it turns into exponentially more durable to realize expertise. So much more durable, and lots more durable, okay? So these gamers, to get to 97, need to be taking part in the sport day by day, for almost all of their day.”
