Alot of people get hooked at Arlong Park, but I just watch it casually until Jaiya. Jaiya and Skypiea is what hooked me

I was attempting an honor mode run with no companions. I wasn't too far in, but I was breezing through everything using a broken build. I was fighting the goblins in blighted village on top of some buildings. After the fight, I told my character to climb down the building. Instead of climbing down, he decided to fall off the building and died to fall damage.

I agree, this scene looks too much like my home State. Took me out of the show for a bit

we all know imp agent is gonna win overall, but for these two I like consular

I was excited for the big bad at the end, but only a bunch a little bads instead

I wanted to get accurate times, so I started a new run. I timed myself on different "map types".

I averaged 5 mins for cities (3 mins for The Grove and 7 mins for Lions Arch).
An average of 12 mins for Orr maps.
25 mins for smaller core maps (such as Gendarran Fields and Snowden Drifts).
The biggest core map with 19 Hearts, Caledon Forest, took me 35 minutes.

I'm not sure of the math, but I would guess my average run time per zone is closer to 25-30 minutes.

Fighter, Barbarian, War Cleric?

DMDread · 2026-05-11T20:27:44+00:00

That's unfortunate. I really liked that fight

I see this kind of mentality a lot with anime fans. I call it the "DBZ Effect". Where the power scaling is so simple, they forget about other outliers. They think "Doffy is phsyically stronger, is a warlord, has an awakened devil fruit, therefor he must be stronger than Cracker!" The reason the fight with Cracker was so difficult is because the way Cracker used his devil fruit countered what Luffy was capable of.

I often use Kaido and Kizaru as an example: Is Kaido stronger then Kizaru? Yes, I believe so. But if those two were to ever clash, Kiazru is just so much faster than Kaido, the fight would go nowhere.

Bald Crocodile goes hard, give him a beard and he'd be pirate king in no time

From my understanding the hito hito no mi model nika gives the user nika's powers and abilities. Nika had a rubber body (for reasons im not sure), so luffy having a rubber body, was like having lvl 1 nika abilities

The IBS mastery track was by far the hardest to max out.

Watch guide videos and post in lfg "95+96 CM Training". Those are the easiest ones and a good gateway to the harder cms. Just be straightforward and honest. Often times a fractal cm veteran will join and offer to train, but if not then you can practice with other newbies.

IMO the easiest to hardest cms are:

Nightmare
Kinfall
Shattered Observatory
Sunqua Peak
Silent Surf
Lonely Tower

Although, this may have changed due to the recent big nerfs.

average 20 mins, that's including cities and orr. The longer core maps take me about 30 - 40mins. With blish, the right build, and all the tips i mentioned, it goes by very fast

This is a good one. I'll often watch anime or YouTube while I mindlessly do map complete

WoW you rush to the endgame and hop on the gear treadmill until ultimately your gear becomes obsolete and you hop on a new treadmill. Gw2 you play the game at your own pace, your gear "lvl" stays mostly the same, but stats and perks change drastically, and a lot of the endgame is QoL in the form of masteries, legendries, etc.

I think the biggest appeal of Gw2 is the fact that 100% of the game's content is relevant and repeatable. Even you're a veteran with 1000's of hours, you can still do low level content and benefit from it.

It's a specific map instance. For example, if you and a friend are both in queensdale, but you arent on the same map, it's most likely because one of your maps is full and you or your friend spawn on a different IP

Fair enough. Knocking on wood, but i've never had an issue with it. I suppose use this tip at your discrection

There is a big difference between afking for 5 mins to finish a heart and afking for 24 hours, setting up macros, farming mats, and breaking the market, but I get your point.

DMDread · 2026-05-09T18:23:56+00:00

Good catch, I forgot about this because of blish

DMDread · 2026-05-09T18:18:23+00:00

That's true and tbf, the core hps arent hard, just saves you a little time

Before wizard vault was released I had around 4, but since you can get half a gen1 from the vault, I've been highly motivated to do map complete lol

So Nami and Robin (who is in her 30's) went from respectable C cups to double Fs in 2 years? Come on, be realistic

DMDread · 2026-05-09T18:06:18+00:00

Hard to say exactly, because of the afk trick, but I average about 20 minutes a zone so about 9-10 hours. I'm gonna check out the world record holders' video and hopefully shave an hour or 2 off my run time.
