Offline Mode ?



The above is a spike I get every 2-3 minutes, and makes playing the game softcore-only.

I live in the middle of nowhere and rely on satelite internet which seems to deliver in packets, which is unoptimal for gaming, and there is no alternative for me. I would gladly pay money to have an offline mode to make this playable.

I wish this and almost every other game had an offline mode but no, they will not ever add one.

The whole point of a free to play game is that they control the economy and can sell secondary transactions... that people would easily make for free if it wasn't locked down and using server side interactions.

They'd make no money on offline mode.

Definitely not true.

I totally agree offline mode would be an awesome addition to the game.
Although players will have to be locked in an offline 'league' of sorts due to reasonable reasons...

Def true.


Offline enables piracy, it enables the ability to edit in items for yourself, it would essentially be competition with itself for players and they have no desire to do an offline mode.

Remove MF from POE, make juiced map the new MF.
Most of the decisions about what happens in game is handled by the server, so they'd have to write a completely new client just to enable offline mode while also enabling people to cheat. This is one of the few things that is never going to happen
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.
You know you can play any online game in a home-made 'offline' version too, right? :D We're not talking about this.
I thought we are discussing a supported offline version made out of the good will of GGG.
Such a game version can be anything - it may include any part/feature of the game - doesn't have to be the way you actually imagine it. And most likely not the full game anyway.
After all, this discussion should be put back 13~10 years ago before the official release of PoE.

Good luck.

GL with that "homemade" offline version.

If there was a thing, it would have been passed around.



As far as discussion, they decided it wasn't worth the money or time in order to implement it and they were right. Not only does it allow for them to ensure monetization but it secured them a top spot as an ARPG.

Looking forward to you reverse-engineering PoE servers for an offline client. Best of luck!
