No "offline" progression?

[Sowel]

After playing the first one for more hours than i would like to admitm, i found it strange this morning to find out that i seem to have made no progress over night.
Is this no longer part of the game? Did i progress but not even fast enough to to buy an unlock?

[Sowel]

Thats a shame. that was a HUGE part of the attraction of the last game for me.

yeah i wonder if they will do this, offline progression is more of an addiction mechanic that that encouraged people to come back day after day, however it also became more of a necessity since you ran into "walls" where you couldnt progress without grinding a ton of gold, here i havent hit a wall that is why it feels like you progress so quickly, however that comes at the cost of no offline, i would prefer an offline mode too tbh.

Offline progression is useless. Let's assume you need 2 minutes to pass a stage. On average next stage is 10 times harder than previous. To pass it with the same gear you have to spend 20 minutes, for 2 stages 3 hours and for 3 stages - more than a day. Gold income is changing significantly as well. So after sleeping whole night it would be barely 3-4 stages fast run.

Its less about the stages and more about the gold and exp.. it might not give much but it will give a little boost to the start of your next session, just enough to buy a few upgrades and have the satifaction of powering though a stage.

Theres automator that can solve offline progress. Would be nice to have word from devs if theres plan for offline progress.

This is the best argument for offline mode.
The game is built for that play style, just with the software open.
Why not implement something that was a staple of the original, this is a sequel after all.

Nice so the people saying no to it are just knighting for the dev without knowing what they are talking about as usual

or because offline mode with how quickly stuff scales would end up being almost useless, but sure, try letting the game run without upgrading and see how little progress, hell i cant evne get progress with the buy cheapest and upgrade random automation.

While it is true that it hasn't been developed yet, if one take the experience from ch1 offline progression did very little. Unless you've progressed for a very long time and just did an ascension, and even then you didn't earn all that much from it.

That is a very subjective statement, ch1 had multiple offline builds that were effective. prehaps you just didnt spec into that kind of play.

As someone who played it from early infancy up until one of the latest patches. I've played idle, active and hybrid. Ive had the game offline for minutes, hours and days at a time as all three play styles. I've played sitting with my face glued to the screen with all three plays styles as well. I've had it running in the background tending to it every few minutes.
I know the impact and difference the various playstyles result in. I've also seen how the various playstyles have changed in efficiency over the years.

Then im supprised to hear you didnt get the same offline experiance i did.
At the very least it offers a nice short burst of progression when you get back due to the banked cash you would otherwise be waiting on.
