More Disconnects then my Level bruh... Give us Offline mode option next league..

No, they couldn't : without heavy-handed DRM like we have now, it would be out of their hands at that point.

I'm curious as to which examples do you have in mind ?

I'm aware of Blizzard almost managing it with StarCraft1 by sending cease-and-desist letters to modders ? They only managed to drive it underground, and only because there was no money (to save for the player using the mod) involved.
Also not sure this would even fly today ?

thats more then enough aint it? u want Jonathan to sit next to us just to be sure some random player on the internet downloaded some nsfw mod or something?

atleast we can play the damn game....

theres is pros and cons to everything, and heavy drms don't stop mods btw nothing technically can. but just for perspective...

- ggg has been getting ddosd for a very long time already, and it keeps getting worse.
- we're multiple days into the league already and dc's/rollbacks/high ping/random errors, and more are still a thing..

u rather wanna get disconnected every 15minutes and rollback, lose progress, lose ur chaos/div u maybe just dropped? be my guest.

i would prefer to be able to play the game, if that means offline then offline it is. cuz right now i can't do ANYTHING it is outside of our players hands, and we simply can't do anything whatsoever about it, neither can GGG as DDOS has been around forever and its nufortunately not something thats within GGG or the game/hosts control.


Which is why i agreed with a dude earlier that said "he would rather be on lan with 1 of his buddies and be able to play the game, then all the problems we have now.

cuz we just can't play

Sure, online-only DRM like now technically doesn't stop mods either, but in practice almost entirely.
Does PoE1 actually have mods ?!?
(No need to do the I assume bannable thing and mention them, just answer yes or no.)

Otherwise yes, did you miss me shaming GGG for doing online-only games before in the thread ?

bro what yes or no?
i just wanna play the damn game, i can't cuz of these shitty issues.
offline removes all those issues just like Last Epoch has it...

Don't «bro» me, I'm not your gang member.

bruh chill, ive already read and replied to that comment

hopefully GGG will read this and consider Offline Mode, in our discord group friends still complain over disconnections up to 20000ping

one of the examples in the image was from earlier today of that person

You're living on supporter pack

This is the tricky bit : PoE1 would have looked very different if offline mode (and non-GGG multiplayer) had been available since launch : supporter packs would have been a much lower source of income, because anyone playing offline could mod the game to add the features now granted by them.

I would like to react to that statement because i find it interesting :

Yes GGG lives on supporter packs because of the game being online only, but it could have been handled differently.

If PoE had offline mode support day one, they could have done thing that way :

- Multiplayer / online with cosmetic supporter packs.
- Single player offline where you pay for your DLC and getting the league content.

But, that would have lead GGG to design differently the leagues to avoid what happens with Destiny 2 where they are removing content that players paid for years ago.

I also lost a map due to a disconnection...

Seems people/streamers are even rollbacking from crafted gear still to this day!
really bad situation tbh... slapping that perfect gear just to get a rollback...
