After a season is done - you can choose to stay in that season on an offline version of the game. This way you can still work on your classes, builds, quests lines etc. Whatever changes that were involved during that season once it has been unlocked.
seasonal content (excluding rewards) will be added to eternal after that season ends and your characters will move to there
If the servers were solid, an offline version of the game wouldnt even be necessary to be honest. But the servers are INCREDIBLY bad, Pathetic to be kind. I know they probably avoided an offline version of the game due to piracy, but there are already 2 private servers runing strong with 100x XP and 50X Xp and additional content, but I digress.
Some times I have to join a friend’s party in another country to do a force server switch.
I wish there was a list of servers to login to. A list of servers, with a list of PING and maybe even player density.
honest question: why are people still asking for offline play in 2023? do they not have internet? i kinda understood it sorta when my mom would get a phone call and it would disconnect me on hardcore but that hasnt been happening for pretty much decades at this point at least in my part of the world. am i just ignorant?
I have never lived anywhere with no internet… But I do have a friend in Kentucky USA who lives in a rural area and his ONLY internet option is sattelite, which is very slow, and drops very often…
I’d never think a country like the USA would have HUGE “HUGE” areas with out proper internet connections, but it’s a reality unfortunately.
U.S. is a first world county with 3rd world internet. There are so many places I can go without internet, and even more with a terrible version of it. A lot of rural areas have worse internet than I had in the early 2000’s. I know a few people with dial-up internet. Haha.
I’d love to have a downloadable version for when I go to visit my sister. She’s around nothing but farmland, it’s beautiful, but if you want to communicate with the outside world, it can be difficult at times. My mom got hurt whilst visiting last time, and it took an ambulance 30 minutes to get there.
The problem with forced online games like this one, is because weather you are playing alone or with a party, it’s irrelevant how many other players are logged in.
The communication system in d4 is so pathetic, I never interacted with a random player asking to Group up, NOR have I ever received a single Party invite to group up…
So why forced online game play?
The russians already reversed the game since the first beta, there are already 2 private servers that i know of… They just had to spend a couple of months emulating the server which can be done by reversing the game with IDA PRO, and having basic knowledge of c++ C# or python, or anything programing language that can write a server and interact with a sql database.
The server files exists, I am not going to mention how to get them or how to create your own here, but it’s very pointless to have a forced online game.
I got invited to 4 random groups in past 5 days.
Not bad… But compared to most games where the party invite is so constant is still pathetic.
That’s a big IF! I just love having my progress wiped away because the servers cause me to disconnect. Not to mention, one of my skills is literally broken, and my build revolves around it. Hopefully they iron out some of these wrinkles far sooner than later.
