So when my friends aren’t online, I prefer offline mode for its responsiveness and stability, because it is extremely annoying to have latency spikes or fluctuations during gameplay.
But cosmetics.
So is it possible to have an Offline Mode (not true offline) but the game does regular authentication checks to allow us to use our supporter pack cosmetics?
You already have a false offline mode. It’s where you choose whether to play online or offline (true offline client doesn’t give you that choice).
The problem is that even in the false offline mode, you’re still only using your local client files, so they’re easy to hack.
The devs are working on letting MTX work in offline, so it’s just a matter of waiting until they do.
(Also, why is this in the Mage category? Shouldn’t it be in the Feedback and Suggestions one? You can edit the OP and change categories)
Ah the forum only allows one draft and the last draft I had was for the Mage forum, and I didn’t change the forum when I opened the draft in Feedbacks to write this. Thanks for the response!
Here’s hoping MTX for offline gets implemented soon.
Pretty sure this is the case in online mode as well unless they’re doing some dodgy streaming thing like Geforce Now.
Not really. With online, part of the code is in the server. The server is the one running the game and telling you where mobs are, what they are doing, etc.
In offline, that part is all taken over by local files.
What I was more meaning was that the gfx/etc for the MTX need to be on your pc unless you’re doing the GFN-type streaming.
I honestly doubt they are. I believe they are in the server and are maintained in memory only for your gameplay. At no time does it go to your local files.
Otherwise it would be easy to hack them already and the whole point of not having MTX offline is to prevent that.
