I’m curious how long it would take a NEW player to beat the core game? If they had access to the wiki and when needed YouTube but didn’t have someone standing next to them telling them what to do. In other words they try the jumping puzzle or what ever they were trying to do a few times and if they failed, then go look it up. How long do you think it would take in hours?

And I mean the main story and all achievements for pve.

    “All PvE achievements” is a huge undertaking, even if you’re just talking about the core game; there are things in there like Fractal God, which will take probably a year or so of dedicated grinding, and God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals, which will require finishing a huge number of achievements in a totally different game. I’ve been playing since a year after launch, and I’m nowhere close to having all the core achievements.

        MMO achievements aren’t generally designed for it to be feasible for a single player to finish all of them. MMOs are designed to be games that you play forever, or at least until they shut the servers down (and sometimes long after that; look at City of Heroes). Because of that, achievements are more like things to have to work towards if there’s nothing else you want to go for until the next content update comes out.
