Offline Mode and Cycle Rewards

General
1

A couple of questions:

  1. Are there any disadvantages to playing offline? Do I miss out on progress or rewards? With all the servers down, I’m considering playing offline and continuing my quests.
  2. Do I miss out on anything (beyond leaderboard score points) when I play Legacy instead of Cycle? Are there some rewards like cosmetics for playing cycle? I’m playing my toon on Legacy since I thought I didn’t want to start from scratch and don’t care about the score, but if there are other rewards, I might start a new toon on Cycle.

You mention cosmetics - no cosmetics available in offline.

But I can access them again when I go online, right? Or do I miss out on some currency?

Leaderboards are the only difference between Legacy and Cycle (at least for the foreseeable future, it may change in a few cycles). Legacy doesn’t have leaderboards at all.

As mentioned, you cannot use cosmetics offline. And obviously you cannot group or trade. Everything else is supposed to be the same.
(In 0.9.x there were quite a few minor technical differences as well, but all of them were in favour of offline. I haven’t tried 1.0.x yet, and won’t for a while, so I cannot say where it stands now. The target was to make both modes exactly the same).

we need some offline leaderboards to track personal progress :smiley:

That would be nice, but experience has proven it mostly tracks personal editing skills. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I am not aware of any rewards system, in any mode, granting cosmetics or premium currency.
If there is one it hasn’t been previously announced.

or we can pretend its D4 and I can bust out the egg timer and scratch paper :o

I don’t mind that but I think for the long term, they should consider some seasonal rewards for the the cycle. Gonna stay in my legacy server for now.
