    Default an offline mode? (For players who can't connect)

    What would you guys say about an offline mode for Pocket Legends where you can level up and gain gold, but with local connections.

    I know it has been suggested, but I like the idea.

    Tell me what you think.

    If you want to play a single-player FRPG, try Aralon.

    What you're asking is not only nearly impossible, it's not worth the cost to develop it.

    Would be kinda boring IMO. I play Pocket Legends so I can meet and play with other people.

    Yea it can get boring but at least my battery won't get drained at 10% per minute. Plus it would be good if the ping is too high and I can turn off my internet so I can play without worry!

    I see huge problems with offline play. In many games i have seen that were both offline and online capable the dreaded modders are a HUGE problem. Usually when a game is offline capable you have to have the save data and game software on your device or on an external storage device (like a CD) in order to use the offline capabilities. Think about the CoD franchise, every game they make always has a problem with modders. Why? Because the modders have the game's software at their disposal so they can create the mod and integrate it into the game itself.

    I say keep away from offline play unless STS wants to have a department devoted to nothing more than dealing with modders.

    The problem with offline mode is, are there rewards? Say can you get gold and exp? If so, that means that the game has to trust the client to tell them what that person did while they are offline and that is very exploitable (hack the game client). Right now, you have to connect to the game server to do anything and that keeps it darn near impossible to hack.

    For that reason alone we wouldn't have offline progression tie into the online world.

    I understand what you mean, but it would benefit a lot of people.

    And hinder many more. It's a nice idea in theory but it would cause more problems than solutions in practice.

    samhayne dont be so cocky who can and cant hack your game. Offline mode makes it easier to hack but i could still hack the server.
