Can you get banned for cheating in offline mode?

I'm not very good at these games, I got up to about level 85 I find that I can't beat the bosses at that level regardless of my build.

Offline Mode You can do whatever you want with your character. There are no penalties. Have fun playing the game.

Well that's not true ... Because everyone else's builds can beat them.

The key word in that sentence is "I". I don't presume to declare what others are capable of.

if you choose complete offline mode nothing happens . Steam ask you if online or complete offline . choose last and you can use trainers

just don't ever go back to online mode. soon as you do and an altered character file is detected, account removed for good. enjoy

Won't happen. Offline chars can't be used in online nor can online chars go to offline.

Cheating is why this is done. OP has nothing to worry about if they chose to go online

Now if u modded the game. (There are some on nexus) then yes this could result in a ban depending on the mod.

Good thing since you literally can not go online with an offline toon. Offline characters are saved on your own HD, online characters are saved on their servers.

Developers have said they do not care what you do with your offline characters.

You could try a good build instead tho ...

I don't think it's the build because when I look up guides for the bosses that I have issues with, they all say things like "these attacks will one-shot just about all builds", and I'm just not good enough to consistently avoid the one-shots. Like with Rahyeh, I just can't avoid he circle attack, and it looks like she's even harder after the patch. So I guess I could try to use one of the few builds that won't get one-shotted, but that's putting some pretty strict limits on the game.

Have a great time with it, that is one of the main reasons offline mode exists.

As long as you unplug the internet cable, you're safe. Just revert files back to original when playing online (file integrity check with steam) ;o

What's your build?

[Definitely Not Stas]

do whatever you want to offline character, cheat, dupe, make god items, just don't alter client by itself and you're safe

I have a disintegrate sorcerer that does huge damage, a tanky Sentinel, and a Falconer rogue that uses poison/bleed. Can't beat Rahyeh with any of them until I get like 15 levels higher than I should be, but then I also stall out on the level 85 monolith, and I haven't bothered to grind enough levels to beat that one. The level 2 dungeon bosses all kick my ass too, but that may be more of a matter of practice because it takes so long to get to them that I don't want to play them over and over.

The game doesn't really have a truly offline mode as far as I can tell. When the servers go down, I can't play even though I set it to full offline in Steam.
