How do Cycles work with Offline Characters?

Do we have any details about offline characters and cycles? Will offline characters be able to play new cycles as soon as online characters? To be clear, I am referring to creating a new offline character specifically for the cycle.

I’d like to know this as well. Anyone got any intel?

I mean, I’m not really bothered by the idea of playing it online, but if I can I’d rather run offline since I plan on playing SSF anyway.

from what i understood from devs livestream only thing cycle brings is fresh start and leaderboards.Content is same as in legacy

Devs have already said that offline content will be the same as online, except for online only features like chat, trade, group, etc.

At some point there was some talk about pinnacle bosses having to be defeated online first before being accessible offline, but no news on that for a long time now, probably because there have been no pinnacle bosses yet.

You mean no new items, mechanics, discoverable stuff, things like what a POE season brings? That doesn’t sound right. I thought Cycle 1 was supposed to be the introduction of the trade vs solo found faction allegiance thing.

First few cycles will have no difference between legacy and cycle.

They want to includign exclusive stuff, but later down the line.
