What happens when the servers go offline?

[Dionysus 🐭]

What will happen to our resources? What if we want to replay the game 10 years later, and find that the servers are offline so we are capped to an extremely low amount of resources and GMP, and cannot research online development projects? Has Konami confirmed anything about transitioning everything offline when they plan on shutting down the servers?

They could just increase the cap and still keep fobs but it will be only singleplayer fobs so it will be like a clash of clans sort of mode where defenders dont exist. Theyd also need to reduce drastically the amount of stuff needed to develop a grade 9 10 11 weapon

No one knows for sure, but you can keep them running a little longer by buying mb coins with cash to speed up the development or buy fob insurance, Konami is all about the cash and apparently at this point no one will work for free. They can push out some DLC update if they wanted to, like Quiet clothes DLC for $2.99, Grade 13 Brown Bear or Dogs in FOB, or custom placed hentai/bikini women posters on FOB, you can stick it on the wall to distract security guards (just like when you uses the box), I could come up like 1,000 stupid ideas and wish they can do that because someone will buy it for sure.

I think if they allow co-op fob mode (two person infiltrating a base) where you can infiltrate a fob with your friends, I think this could bring back a lot of old players that wouldn't mind spending some cash to buy a pink panty DLC for Quiet. Well, if they shuts the online fob then there is no point in having million of resources, because you don't need anything more than a grade 7 to play offline mission, anything above it is overkill, high grade weapon is strictly for invading high level fobs.

Yeah, no thanks. There is no reason to pay them to keep the servers running when you already payed for the game, AND when there is no point in having that content online in the first place.

Nice try

[Krona🥶]

You can still use any fob grade tier weapon developed if it exists in an offline save. If severs go off, there are people archiving that stuff so you'll be able to still enjoy the stuff offline.

If servers goes down you wont be able to develop online items, so you wont need online resources as well

there's already a mod to unlock all those online only unlockables, you can simply install that.

Besides modding, just a save with those developed will let you enjoy those offline and it's archived.

FOB's extra GMP and gadgets aren't needed for the Story singleplayer. Simple as that. I have 3k hours of MGSV: TPP. FOB's would be the best way to earn GMP but that's it. You think they would add an online component to mess with the story if it went offline? Nope. Also, yellow gadgets are mainly for FOB's invasions. Singleplayer doesn't need or count with those yellow post launch items. Edit2: There's people who hate the online part of the game and finished the story no problem. Or there's no internet and yet did the story with no bonus. It will suck if it went offline but MGS3 and 4 did too. It's the same thing.

Make all the online items affordable offline and unlocked automatically

Makes sense. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ KONAMI. But it sounds like it would be easy to make the yellow online equipment segregated to offline

Realistically speaking? You're partially right. They will dump the entire online side of things. Though what you have, you have. If you already have it, you'll get to keep it, but there will only be the campaign left. Anything not gotten already will loose the chance to get it, but you'd get to keep it and continue doing missions in the field. It'll just turn into a hands-off game like games used to be.

Why bother doing anything. All this is hypothetical. Konami hasn't said anything about discontinuing the online servers.
