The esteemed HoI IV 1000+ hours gentlemen's society

[seattle]

HoI4 is getting a lot of (undeserved) flak because it has a number of flaws which are natural for a game of this scope.
I wonder though, if the game is anything but awesome can there be a lot of people who have 100s if not 1000s of hours on their record?

The best indicator of a great game is play time. So here it is: the 1000+ hours gentlemen's society of HoI IV.
Post a screenshot of your steam library to prove your mettle:

Besides keyboard warrior bragging rights, I'd be interested how your game time is composed. Please write your estimated percentage in the following categories:
- SP/MP
- vanilla/mod
- if mod, which ones mostly

------------------------
For me it is:
- 100% SP
- 5% vanilla (mostly when new expansions are released), 95% mods
- which mods (in playing time): Kaiserreich > Road to 56 > August Storm > Great War > Millenium Dawn > Darkest Hour > Cold War: The Iron Curtain

I think that most 1000+ hours players are heavy on the MP side. Would be interesting to know for sure though and if you guys play with mods in MP.

This might be an indicator that you like the game.... if it weren't for the people with 1000+ hours logged who moan about the game and call it "broken". Yes, I can't believe it either.

I think you're right about it being mostly people with the time and inclination to play MP who spend this much time on the game BTW - I only play SP and have less than 300 hours logged. The effect of having a job and a family!

Congrats on passing the 1000 hours . I only have 840 (work and family ) totally single player vanilla but going to give one of the WW1 mods a wirl soon, hoping to surpass the 1000 mark when the new dlc comes out and I fire up my new campaign over Christmas.

How do you take a screen shot of your Steam page.

Windows has the wonderful "snipping tool" for that. Plenty of alternatives like the old "press print key, open Paint and paste".
Job and family are the main distractors for me as well, hence the only game I play these days is HoI4. Family (incl. child) is also one of the reasons why I don't play MP ever.

PS: Can't imagine how you can get 800+ hours out of vanilla. I'm currently conquering Asia with the Mongol Empire in "Kaiserreich". +20% attack and defence on cavalry rules the steppes!!!

Ah I was hitting print screen but not opening up paint and pasting it. Thank you.

I got too say I like the vanilla game it has it's flaws as most things in life, but I do love this game. I like you if not for work I would be sweet taking Dalwin to join his group, they sound like my cup of tea .

Just over 100 hours. Less than just about any PDS game I've bought.

 

[mjb2k]

Mostly MP...

 

[Farin]

nearly 2000 hours (1970h at the Moment)

 

[Galithor]

The multiplayer time should be further clarified into:
-actual gameplay
-lobby simulator

[blue_yonder]

100% SP
100% France
Speed 3 max, usually slower
Expert AI (don't like using mods on principle, but not much option)
Hours will stay at 1035 until Tiger Sentience (mid February imo)

2000+ hours should get some new veteran type forum avatar options

 

[Duke_Dave]

900 hours exactly at the moment, so I will probably join your esteemed club after the holidays.

1658h, but it's 99% MP. Too bad there's no official way of recording that. Would be nice to also see how much of it was spent just sitting in the lobby waiting for a game, because that amounts to a lot of hours. The running joke in MP is that HoI4 is a lobby simulator and the gameplay part is just an easter egg.

 

[Broletariat90]

I'm only at 388 hours

 

[JerkyJerry]

SP 100%
Mods Used: 100% of the time. There are far too many to list!

 

[Secret Master]

I don't have 1000 hours invested even with all the tests I run. Guess I'm a noob or scrub.

Some might say, the devs have invested less hours into the game than their customers.

Same here. I have been remiss.

245 hours peasant reporting in.
I reckon about 50% vanilla, 5% Kaisserreich, 5% anime mods and the remainder with some small mods with minor changes (like music mods or my own little project).
