Just throwing in another voice for the “please have a fully offline mode”. Waiting to buy if/when we get confirmation on that

Reading this reminds me of the How can you wake up dead scene in Scary movie 3…lol

It is already confirmed, it is just not completely implemented.
Currently you need to sign in everytime you start the game, but after that the game is basically offline already.
Not sure when the login requirement will be lifted.

Thanks for the replies. Got the game, cheers.
We still don’t know how much or how little online interaction the Offline mode of the game will require. Until we do, I’m afraid this statement is not entirely accurate.
Even the most recent information suggests this stuff is very much in flux at the moment, from the various developer statements I’ve listed in this thread.
The most recent being from Judd during the May 20th AMA:
My question is - Will LE be playable offline? And if yes, how will that work with mtx? I dont mind having to connect every now and then but being unable to play to bad connection is a great turn off for me.
Hey! We are exploring ways to verify cosmetic ownership in single player but it would require a request to the server. We’ll have more information on that in the near future as it’s something we’re exploring now.
It’s impossible to say that there will be a 100% offline mode with the limited information we have right now. Until EHG has all the details figured out for how offline functionality will occur at launch, we just don’t know for certain.

If the offline mode still will require a online login, it is no offline mode.
And offline mode was something already planned in the kickstarter campaign.
I really doubt they would implement a so called “offline mode”, where you still need to have some for of internet connection.
Stuff like MTX and such obviously are just details that really don’t matter here, since the base feature is the important thing.

Yes, but plans sometimes change and realities start to kick in once you actually go to implement these things. What I’m saying is that if the dev’s don’t currently know how much or little or if any online connectivity will be needed or required for the offline mode then how can we know?
From the Judd quote, it seems they will matter to the offline mode as well and, as such, will require some form of online interaction for verification. It’s also a fairly important feature, in regards to the games long-term business growth.
@Vekongnitoo I’m not a seaman but do go on vessels for extended periods of time semi-frequently. And I’ve been able to play lots of different games that colleagues told me were impossible to start offshore. Can you elaborate on what type of internet infrastructure you have access to? I may have some tips that would allow you to play without much hassle.
Must…resist…the urge…to make a corny joke…ok, I’m good now. I have past the test and can travel on my way.
Full offline mode sounds great to me. I’m in Florida and I get some crazy winds that leave me without power time to time.
