Save Location and Offline Play (Help)

[Iron Watcher]

Hello there I loved the game so far, but I've found a little problem.

From day one I played Sacred Cidadel on my Desktop, but today I went to my notebook, connected once to the internet with a simple celphone 3G hotspot just to "download" my characters from steamcloud (Lauched the game, characters OK, closed the game). Then, when I went to the Steam offline mode my characters were all level 1, is there no way to continue your characters offline? Are all your characters stored on the cloud and you simple borrow then?

update: Yeah, same on desktop. As soon as the internet is gone and you lauch the game all progress is zeroed. For a game that boast Online and Local play this is a really poor design choice. Steam is a great store/online game service but most of us still like to have our progress stored on our computer and rely on steamcloud for backups and such instead of the ONLY storage method. Paying customers being kicked in the nuts by one more designer? really? Please say I'm wrong and there's a way to FULLY play offline!

Posted the same bug a few days ago. Zero answers. The best part is that even if I play starting from scratch again it won't save progress at all while I am offline.

Why should Deep Silver care if people want to modify or copy a save file? They already bought the game.

I just sent an email to tech support with links to various sites mentioning this issue.
