He meant resync back to offline. As in, he synced to offline, then went and played a few more hours online, then he resyncs to the same offline character.
He said the exact opposite… Read what you quoted lol
“online to offline” … “one way only” … “sync online to offline only”
Oh, I misread it, fair enough…
The loading in an out is killing me, PLEASE let us copy the data to go fully offline. This will be a ONE WAY trip. You don’t need to remove the online data.
The online characters are not saved in the same format as offline-characters.
So exporting is not as trivial as sending you the files they have.
EHG would have to write some exporter to fetch all the online-data and create offline-files. Then you run into the problems of merging faction and stash-data, if you want to copy those, too.
This means dev time, a valuable resource. Design, implementation, documentation, proper testing. In the future, if there is additional data, they would need to update the exporter, too.
I am not sure how much data can be fetched publicly. At least equipment, skill trees, passives, and selected blessings can be fetched somehow - see https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/HorusKBZ/character/Random
I already considered writing a 3rd party converter using that data, though it would lack quest status, faction reputation etc. But then I decided to start new offline characters and say ‘goodbye online-play, we will meet again, once you get fixed’.
