There’s been reports of the /ping command showing a ping when playing offline (as in clicking the “Play Offline” button on the login screen, or clicking the “Logout” button from within the game). That seems weird to me so I decided to test something out.
When I play offline for real, meaning I disable my network card or unplug my ethernet cable (it’s the same result for both), it still shows a ping:
EDIT: Each game was started with the network already disconnected, so it’s not an old value being left on the screen. And, it did change occasionally, so it was reading something. What is unclear.
This makes me wonder if the ping people are seeing in their offline games, when their network is not disabled/disconnected, is actually a mistake.
