Offline mode?
I know it's an MMO so if there isn't an offline mode then I understand, no big deal. My internet is spotty so I'd like to know if there was an offline singleplayer mode possibly before buying? Maybe like a local server option type of thing. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Of course there is no such thing and it would be very dangerous for the company and it's product.

The only offline version concerning this game was the character-editor for just doing some experiments before the game was released. But even this would not build characters for you to be used in the game later on (only the presets maybe).

Ah okay. That's fine. Was just wondering is all. Thanks for the info!

Wait for an emulator. ♥♥♥♥

The game is an MMORPG, not a very good one at that, I played it when it came out last year and despised it, I never liked the genre and hoped that maybe this one would change my mind. NOPE. The fact the all MMOs have a microtransaction buisness model is why there will never be an offline mode.

Heres some things about this game you should know.

1- the community is cancerous and will attack for anything.
2-The character customization, though looking good is very limmited in its execution.
All classes are genderlocked, and you can't make characters look different than the presets.for example: If you make a wizard, it will always look like an old man.
3 If you are getting the game souly for the customization, dont. Buy Skyrm and get the Racemenu mod, it is 1000x better and you don't have to buy an in game currence to complete the game 100%

-F*ck MMORPGs I am glad its a dying genre

Idk if you realize this but MMORPG's are definitely not a dying genre. The only part that is dying is the paid subscriptions. There's only a couple I know of that still have that model and both are games that have been around for years (World of Warcraft and FFXIV). MMO's are still very much alive and well. It's fine that you don't like them, but the microtransactions excuse isn't really a good one because I know of many games that have microtransactions but also have an offline mode. I don't really care about the customization stuff, it just seemed like it had a really cool world to explore and monsters to fight, and I personally like the grinding gameplay (not many people do and I understand, not for everyone). That's what I was looking for.

There is a decline in MMO's, is what some agree on, hence dying. ^

I would also like to court an offline mode, because the unfair way the other players play only bores me.
Last weekend I became a victim of karmabombing and my karma is massively in the basement, so that I am only attacked and struck down by the NPCs (city guards). No more fun.

I can't understand the players who take advantage of the weaknesses of a game and thus diminish the fun of others.
The development team doesn't seem to want to do anything about it...

You don't like MMORPG. You haven't played this game since a very long time ago. Why are you even here? Why are you talking about things you either don't understand or don't know? I have no idea how you came up with an idea that this game will be something you like when buying it but that's your problem. Your comment is way off from the topic.

Nah not really, it's a single player open world RPG with multiplayer options, not an MMO.

So yes, "offline" mode would be actually pretty welcome. Atleast that would be a surefire way to hide irrelevant randos (namely everyone not in buddies), their mounts, wagons and boats.

Totally agree.
It's a pity they never released also an offline story-driver spin-off, or "campaign" mode without multiplayer crap tools like "Xing Code" Anti Cheat Rootkit forcibly installed. Like me many users will never play this game in a MMORPG format.

Yes, this looked interesting, but I hate being forced into always online games. Except for having a few neat looking features, I think I'll just pass on this and stick with Conan Exiles, at least it lets me play offline single player if I want.

Holy cow, way to go full on necro on that thread.

Eh, threads getting"necro'ed" isn't always such a bad thing, can help keep related topics contained without spreading it out over countless new, redundant threads.

And this is related. I might check out a new version if it has a true, offline single player campaign.

Offline is still unsure, single player campaign for sure.
