At 3:38 a.m. on December 14, U.S. time, Elon Musk posted on his social platform “X” that he was kicked out of the game while playing “Path of Exile 2” because he clicked too frequently for a period of time.
The character used by Elon Musk in “Path of Exile 2” is a Monk, and he was suddenly kicked offline while playing the game. He said that this should be a bug and the official should fix the bug as soon as possible. Players should still see him in “Path of Exile 2.”
Interestingly, he just posted a message on December 13 praising “Path of Exile 2.” “I have to say that @PathofExile is a member of the Hall of Fame.”
Elon Musk Likes To Be A Top Player
This is not the first time Elon Musk has tried this type of ARPG game. In fact, the day before the US election, he announced that he had become one of the top 20 “Diablo 4” players in the world.
Elon Musk often posts videos of him playing Diablo 4 on his X. He likes to play the role of Barbarian. He recently played Spiritborn in the Vessel of Hatred expansion. His Spiritborn build is quite classic, but not bad. That’s why his game ranking is ranked 19th.
Some people speculate that Elon Musk just paid for the perfect game product, or someone helped him upgrade his account to reduce the difficulty. But there is no evidence for all this, and it doesn’t matter. It would be funny if a billionaire spent hundreds of hours in Diablo 4 to earn gold.
So now Elon Musk has started playing Path of Exile 2, will he become a top player in Path of Exile 2?
This is very likely. Elon Musk is not only a fan of this kind of game but also has a strong competitive spirit. He won’t be satisfied being an ordinary player; He prefers to be seen by others. Then it is foreseeable that one day he will post on his X that he has become a top player of Path of Exile 2.
In fact, Path of Exile 2 has a unique trading mechanism. The official encourages players to use POE 2 Currency to trade items. For Elon Musk, it is not difficult to get a set of top-level equipment. He is now a very powerful Monk player.
Elon Musk Likes Path Of Exile 2
Elon Musk has also paid a lot of attention to Path of Exile 2. In fact, he said he would play this game long before POE 2 was released. This attracted a lot of heat for Path of Exile 2, and after the game was released, he often tweeted on X to express his love and views on the game.
He said he felt a little confused when playing Path of Exile 2. Although “PoE 2” and “Diablo” series look similar, their mechanisms are completely different. Although PoE 2 and Diablo are very similar, the optimization mechanisms between them are very different. He may need a few weeks to adapt to it.
A player commented below that he thinks that the way Path of Exile 2 uses “WASD” to move is better than Diablo style of simply clicking with the mouse. And this operation method is for remote characters. Players can play it as a dual-stick shooting game. Elon Musk replied with a perfect emoji below, obviously agreeing with his opinion.
Compared with POE 1, the art style and audio-visual effects of Path of Exile 2 have been upgraded. The development team has optimized scene design, character modeling and other aspects. The new light and shadow effects and particle effects allow players to be more immersed in the game. But Elon Musk also said that the current Diablo’s graphics are better than POE 2, but he believes that POE 2’s graphics will eventually reach the level of Diablo.
Fortunately, the development team will continue to update in the future, and the current POE 2 is not the final look of the game. Not only will more items be launched in the future, but the graphics will also be continuously optimized. Players can trade more things with POE 2 Chaos Orb.
Path of Exile not only has a dark-style art similar to Diablo but also has a high difficulty. Musk said that Path of Exile 2 combines with Elden Ring and Diablo.
Elon Musk Is A Game Lover
It is undeniable that Musk is indeed a game lover. He has praised Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring. Grimes, the mother of his child, played a very important NPC in 2077.
He is also obsessed with Elden Ring. He praised it as a good game on X and played it all night, but the Elden Ring build he shared on X is a bit... weird. (From the player’s point of view, his build is a very risky build, with high damage, but low defense and health. There is no room for error. Maybe he has some teammates in Elden Ring.)
Anyway, Elon Musk is indeed passionate about the game industry. Now he is trying to enter the game industry. Elon Musk said he would start a game studio that uses xAI to make games. And try to get the game industry back on track. This is another crossover for him. Can he “make games great again?” Maybe he will also make a game similar to POE 2. Let’s wait and see.
