About OFFLINE mode.

Kudos to the company. Better than PD3 "specialized communication".
At least we will be able to use mods. Will the character remain the same, like valheim? Or we will have to get 2 characters. 1 for online, 1 offline like diablo?

Games going to die after they release offline mode. Everyone complaining about the game either already bought the game or will never look back to this game while new games are coming out. It woulda been better if they built on their original vision that they put so much time and thought into with the future online aspects they had planned rather than wasting time on this nonsense. The complaining crowd woulda left after a week at most and they coulda moved on with their development rather than backtracking to make a group happy that wont even buy the game when they do.

I bought it, was not impressed by server performance ( I have a hefty rig, and very fast fiber internet), and want offline mode so I can just enjoy the game without watching a slide show or waiting forever for the load times while the servers do their thing.

Not that you care but offline mode was already in their internal roadmap before release. So the feature was coming anyway and now its just coming sooner.

looks like they need to fix the servers and online mode before making offline mode then, since the game was designed to be an online game... don't ya think

yeah game will be dead by the time offline mode comes out, and all the online game enjoyers will leave cause they didn't work to improve the online mode... I'm sure there will be a small 2k concurrent of offliners left though

Which one died after offline mode? I know only Pagan: Absent God that give an offline mode and is now dead. But the game was already dead before and the offline mode was only the giveaway for the customers to play the game after the server and the studio shut down.

yeah offline mode is great for dying games with no potential... I'm not comparing to other games, just foreseeing how it will happen with this one. They've stated they have plans and a direction for this to be an online game, regardless if offline was meant to be a later feature on a roadmap, and many games have died trying to switch their focus, vision, or direction in prioritization. They shoulda just marketed this better as an online coop so they didn't get this dumb crap.

[subwaybananas]

okay, only an empty phrase, like i thought.
In the current state of the game, the always online mode doesn´t make sense. For coop gaming of course, but dedicated or rented server are also an valid option. But many players play solo. You open your own world, where no random can come in. You have to toggle the option for random players on, default its a closed world. And the worlds have all very limited ressources, like the bastions or the higher ressources, like the T2 trees, they aren´t designed for a mmo feature.

The only argument are the raids in the endgame, but for this there could also an scaling option.

Its already a singleplayer or closed group game. With a not obvious part for "mmo". The whole game philosophy that released till now is not opend for a big mmo part, that need the always online on their servers.

There are many "multiplayer online" games with an offline mode. Like Conan Exiles that are very vital. And more player are solo/singleplayer in there own offline world than coop/multiplayer or even MMO players there (from offical Funcom info-thread).
Or Eco, own of the core feature is the community based world. But there are also an often played offline mode (which come later cause the community wish). And the game is also very vital.

For the TE question, we will see how they do it. You can give feedback at:

to give your ideas for it.

The 55% mixed and fact games that released with offline do incredibly well prove otherwise. You are being incredibly dramatic over devs adding a save file to the pc.

It's most prob gonna be like Ark, Palworld & all others that have both online & offline least the protective ones I should say, this one is def protective...
There will prob be A offline player & an Online player, seperate from each other.

honestly that's not a bad thing, it protects the online experience.
