Please consider adding offline mode (and solo Maelstrom)

[{St} Waylllop]

We know the game's development ended a while ago already and nothing new is being added, that's fair. But the game REQUIRES connection to the servers just to play solo, and that means eventually Ubisoft will close the servers and we'll not be able to play any longer, not even solo.

So, an offline mode would be amazing. Just connect to Ubi to sync your save and validate your copy, but allow to play without constant connection for future prof, similar to how Diablo 2 Resurrect works.

Also, we'd amazing to have solo Maelstrom, crisis and events if that ever happens, so those modes could still be accessible even solo. It doesn't seem to be that absurd of a task, since the game already has dynamic scaling based on the number of players, but I dunno.

I know, it's a long long shot for both of those, but on another recent topic about achievements, a Ubi dev commented on it, so maybe they can see this as well and consider, if possible.

Offline Mode IS a Must, but Solo Maelstrom... way too much to expect from Ubisoft... realistically, Ubisoft will likely just remove this game from stores when decides to shut down the servers for Rainbow Six Extraction.

Hey guys,

Thank you for kindly taking the time to share this suggestion about adding offline support. While I have no news on this, we do use this type of feedback to better understand what players might like to see in the future.

If ever we can help with anything support related, just let us know

oh look, another canned response.

if you guys actually cared about your consumers / customers / players, you'd do the right thing and get the developers on the case and give players what they want.

which is what the OP and others have suggested. Offline support to keep the game future proofed. Rainbow Six Siege can be played Offline and has been since around season 5/6 when Ubisoft silently let everyone play Terrorist Hunt Offline (now replaced with other not so great modes)

Also Ghost Recon Breakpoint is screaming for Offline support as well. I stopped playing that a few years back (shortly after launch) because I wanted to play it whenever i wanted and not when the servers said so.

I wish the big companies would get it through their corporate noggins that gamer's don't like live service games or always online drm or being told they don't own the games they purchased with their hard earned cash.

This is a partial truth not all of it

I know one game offhand that proves part of your argument wrong
