Petition for Offline Solo..

[buckiesmalls]

This is one of the most baffling decision to require a constant online connection for single player.. There is only an upside for them if enabling it.. Specially when I have 45 minutes of "playtime" just looking at the first sequence of things. I have controlled my character for about 10 seconds.. Fine you servers are trash.. Not my our fault. Enable Offline play for solo and local saving.. Shouldn't be too hard.. Seeing how they have spent 50 plus hours "fixing" servers..

Warframe still counts in the grand theme of the topic - which is that games will be gone at some point, even if one played them for a very long time. For me it doesnt matter that i have roughly spend 300€ on Warframe over the years - what will hurt more is that it has become a part of my gaming life that will just vanish, all the invested time - just gone. Mabye DE will make an offline client when they day comes, who knows, they seem the type of devs that might do that.
Ofc server size matter and also the strcuture behind it - u can not just transition any game to a private server structure - it heavily depends on the game. And when companies know they HAVE to do that, because the law demands it - most will just say - fckit we do something else.
How do u wanna play something like a Battlefield with self hosted games? Esp regarding the cheater topic but also player numbers. This is not that easy.
If rules and laws are being made about this they have to be VERY specific - otherwise it wont work out in a way that we gamers want. Thor has explained that pretty well

You clearly don't know anything about Private Servers. They have existed for a long time for WoW which is just about as big of a game as you can get.

And good if the dev says f it and does something else. Maybe they can make a quality player hosted co-op game or just make it player hosted from the start. Several games do this already. My main issue is paid live service games where you have to pay upfront. I honestly don't care as much about F2P games or real MMO's for that matter. I want to own what I pay for. Anyone who is against owning what they pay for is incredibly foolish.

Dude ive been playing games for aprox 30 years now. We ran our own private servers for different games for almost 2 decades . So i know a bit lol.
U need to understand how the initiative plays out when it becomes an official rule.
The specifics need to change.
We already have enough stupid coop games that are not really coop anymore. Peer to Peer - with all kinds of problems and we dont even need to touch on the very important topic of security - but hey. Im ranthing about this bs all the time. They r designed from the groundup as coop with friends - public coop? Bah who needs that? Basic chat? Fck that. Ingame voice? Bah to much work. Any form of communication in a coop game that REALLY needs comms? Ah fck them
Remnant 2 in a nutshell and many other coop games.
If companies are pressured even more to fullfill certain demands they willl just cut everything and not do it. Esp when the law is laid out like this. They cut costs at every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ corner.
They very few games that would require some kind of official rules are games like Outriders, but they are thankfuly not the norm. And the law need to address the issues VERY SPECIFICALLY for those cases. Otherwise it wont work out.
Annnd im done with this topic... the info is out there. If u dont trust someone like Thor who know his sh.t and is clearly on the gamers side... than u have other issues than topics like this.

this is a must. Hope they apply a patch as arkane did with redfall when they sunset outriders.

Arkane took a week to make the patch so if they come out with some ♥♥♥♥ excuse and don´t do it, I´ll, as I always do, put People Can fly as an ignored developer on steam

So the initiative doesnt make sense like its set up right now

That isnt really a part of the argument here. The issue here is the game is clearly an outstanding single player experience or at least does well enough for quite a few people here to care deeply about it. That single player experience has been very much affected by piss poor networking and always online ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Disconnect the live service from the single player component and everything will be a okay.

It is really impressive how people think that something is going to change when they add "+1" to the pointless petition on abandoned forum.

Kudos for keeping this thread up

[Medojedova zhouba]

Even if this thread would be alive for years nothing will be changed at all. Because NOBODY will read it. NOBODY from actual devs. They abandoned it and thats why it is so pointless. But hey... if that give you a good feel that in some universe something will change because of this petition and not in a moment when devs actually decides about destiny of this game, feel free to do it.

Do you know the devs? That they did not read this thread? ... No? Thought so.

They pin posts in these discussions (like May 2024), so why should they not read the OP of this thread?
Yeah, because they might already have, so why not show them we still care? Right, that is what we do. Not waiting for "the universe", we just do it.

Agree with you, hopefully we can change this. I want to play this again, a lot, but the problems with servers and the fact a great single player game is always online is putting me off.

I'd really love an offline mode for this game, I want it so badly I'm still hopping for it

I can't agree more.

I would love a offline mode, sooner or later sqaure WILL shut the servers down. Ubisoft shut down The Crew and delisted it. If Ubisoft does it so will Sqaure
