Boeroer Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Of course I will not close the game when I go to the bathroom, eat a (second) dinner or make me some coffee or so. But usually I will close it when I'm finished for the day or when I go out. There were some nights where I didn't close it because I fell asleep while bringing my kids to bed. So... hard to tell. Maybe 1/4 is idle time? Just a guess. I played a lot in the beginning but not so much nowadays. 2 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Man Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Boeroer has kids and is a dad! The man of mystery loses 1 layer of said mystery.

the_dog_days Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I don't understand why someone would leave the game idling in the background. I will if I need to run to the bathroom, but anything that takes longer than a few minutes I just save and close application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will if I need to run to the bathroom, but anything that takes longer than a few minutes I just save and close application. I've never understood this, either. A friend of mine has like 60% more hours in all his games than he's really played, because he'll just leave games running for like 48 hours while he does other stuff, then eventually come play them again. It confounds me. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier just to tap between apps than to open and close them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I tend to leave my stuff running too. I'll turn it off when going to work or to bed or something that I know I'll be gone for several hours but if I'm going to the store or making dinner or something that's not super long then I just leave it on Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even easier to have 1 monitor for each game. Then you don't even have to alt-tab between apps. 1 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxQuest Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) I tend to leave my stuff running too.And then there is another extremity. After 3 playthroughs and even more time spent testing, I have just 91 hours on Steam)) The last run alone took 85h and it's the only playthrough which I was running with Steam in background.

That's probably the main reason for me. I don't lose anything by keeping it running and it's already ready already when I want to get back to it. ;P Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarack21 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I do a lot of leaving my game running while I go use the bathroom, make a cup of tea, or take a smoke. Things that take just a few minutes, I'll leave it running--things that take longer then that, I'll shut it down. Of course I've only got around 800 hours, nothing like Boeroer there!

IndiraLightfoot Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Heh, you just made me check my total. It's 992h, and I've just started my first ever seasonal Necromancer. I never got to lvl 70 with my first, so at least I'll get to pass 1,000h in a game soon. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself some sweet sweet beta action then, like I did for the Pillars beta, play it for less than an hour :-D yeah, that’s my worry. I buy into those early access stuff, and after one,playthrough I wait for final product anyway without contributing to the testing. It’s not like I will minmax various builds to find out overpowered/underpowered builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always watch let's plays on youtube and comment in here. If you were a beta guy you'd already know that I am still in a process of self discovering. Personally I was hyped about betas of other projects I backed in the past too, only to find that I played it a couple of times for 1 hour and then dropped it, waiting for the real thing. I'm not the person to scrutinize the beta. I'd give feedback based on the little I played, what I watched others do or just follow links of beta testers that will drop in here and discuss subjects individually as they bring them up.
