offline capabilities
I'm just currious, but I was wondering if the game devs would consider making the game function offline as well as online capable, I enjoy playing this game, but my connections are not always as stable or as smootth as butter. I'm guessing that I will be met with a lot of "no" but idk, I was thinking that perhaps they could consider this.

This game is a free toi playu live service. Note the "live" in teh description. Unless they plan to stop making this game, which will not happen anytime soon, and decide to make a pay to play offline version, we will never be able to play this game offline.

That's a lot of "if" aka very probably will never ever happen.

My connection isn't smooth, but I don't do endgame content, I can handle yellow maps with 50 ping-250 ping fluctuations 2-3 times a minute.

Offline would be nice, but that would give haxors a giant sandbox of exploitable content.

will never happen. Because it's all about milking money for many years.
But with the offline product, modders would quickly become active and then there would actually be real content that would overshadow all the embarrassing sausage patches for many years.

This also happened with d2. modder has created a lot of content and fixed a lot of bugs. Many things have also been improved. all for free.

I believe it also happened with D1 as well.

difficult subject. because software is too old and TOO GOOD. because d1 is already epic software. So much more than a masterpiece back then.

this is a LIVE service, it will die before it gets an offline mode and it is nowhere near dying.

I don't want exploits, I just would like to play the game, it was just a thought for playing the game itself. nothing more

But then PoE is not for you. Whole game is balanced for trade leagues and everything is server sided to prevent dupes etc. To make it simple, all you have is live stream on your pc. In case of PoE it will never be offline.
