can you play without an internet connection?

[Bert]

i have been keeping an eye on this game and i bought it a while back but got a refund because it was online only, can you play it offline yet?

Currently you still need an internet connection to load the game, but once it is loaded into a character you don't need internet connection.

The Offline Client is in progress and is due for release soon!

how soon do you think the offline client will be out.

I'm looking forward to being able to play offline. My internet is very slow and I can't even load my character anymore.

Is this still due for release soon? I've been holding off on picking it up for the past 10 months since this statement

the devs seem to have abandoned it

That is likely due to an offline element not having the server based data, meaning it is easy to hack which could be an issue... I do wish I could hop on if my internet goes down but I think its better how it currently is!

it would have been nice if the dev had been honest about it to begin with and not promise something they wont do.

[NottheWinner]

Well they didn't promise... they said it was due for release and probably realized the issues. (saying something is not promising it and I have seen many game devs talk about features they will have/add to a game that don't end up in the game)

Not saying it doesn't suck when stuff like that happens, but sometimes it just has to be like that.

when you ask a dev if there will be an offline mode and they say yes its ♥♥♥♥♥♥ when they go back on their word

Devs have to make hard choices man. It is not easy to please everyone and I am sure they at least tried. Not everything is so black and white

i wouldnt have so much of a problem with it if they were just honest about cancelling the feature but instead they just dont respond when people ask.

Well pretty sure this whole thing is run by 1 guy, and I don't know how often he checks the discussions on steam. I agree he could of gotten back to you but hey thats life! Not always going to get an answer you want or an answer at all!

its a single player game so why does that matter at all?

[Cat vader]

bit dumb for a solo player game though... that you can't play it offline or in case as of now it doesn't load. Error could not fetch datapackage... etc
also.. will probably move into a no consistant internet zone...

yes easier to hack.
however.. could do a, you can't get achievements unlocked for progress if doing offline play.
