so this is what is happeningn at the moment right?

That situation is hopefully, years away. It has been suggested (not promised) that FD would look into ways for us to continue to play. How it might be achieved is anyone's guess at this point.
Nope just utterly bored of you people spilling your bile all across the forums. It got boring about 150 pages ago.

It makes people feel better, it's a standard form of grief. You'll notice, if you watch, people go through the same stages of emotion.
People. Enough. Stop making this neverending hate chain. There are worse things than lack of offline mode in ED on this world.
No offline? Sad. But give a chance.
Please wait for final product and give FD time to push life in game. Play two months on final product and say opinion then.
I have a lot of fun in beta, i spent more hours on it than on all other games in last 2 years. It is proof how good this game is.
Guys talking about refund? You taken a small risk, this is only a few $, you havent see a final game yet and you want refund? Pls, give me a brake.
Sorry, take a cool, drink a tea, go to your girls or go to garage fix car. Game will be good.
Dont make any emotionals moves, just wait, stay calm, play final game some time.
I suppose this is the crux of the argument isn't it?
People do not feel that Frontier spending a year trying to implement it was not enough effort.
Agree Kerrash but that dont mean that people are not feeling spolied when they didnt get what they were intended to get.
Think the reaction on the wall in the next days will go in this way.
The problem is the lack of communication i think. If Frontier had provided this communications much more earlier in the dev process, noone will be there posting.
Thoses who backed with offline view are pretty well in their right to ask for a refund and i hope they will be refunded.
I continue to trust in FDEVs hopping we will get at least this offline bulk. Frontier canit hide from this reaction on the forum, not at 1 month of the release.
I think that David has to come there and explain solely and truly what it was intented, why they didn't communicate and give apologize to all customers that have bought ED for an offline package.
He said himself that there will be an offline game on reddit.

So it's normal to come and say .. allright we missed that.
Obviously thousands of people are mad about this,
Thats very true, I can't disagree with you, but lets consider a fictional scenario, what if.. for some odd and unknown reason, Frontier go bust next March and they have to close the servers then? (no, I'm not saying its likely, but I'm just pointing out we are at their mercy for our gaming/entertainment. I'd much rather there an an offline option 'just in case we need it one day')
How lovely they feel better, great. In the mean time they insult the dev's, spoil release for those that are still invested in the project and ruin a once great forum. Selfish and childish.
Now maybe make a decision and stop repeating this tired mantra.
I see your point but some people paid many hundreds of pounds for a game that they thought they could own and use forever and play without outside dependency factors like servers. Many of these people would not have paid the many hundreds of pounds for just another connect to service.
Where exactly did you see thousands of people being mad about this?
Then why still here!? LOL

We are effectively playing the final product. That's the problem.
The final product is terrible.
This thread has nearly 3000 posts at this point. This is not a difficult conclusion to draw.
Not really. Where are these insults?
To be perfectly honest, I think your behaviour is amongst the worst I've seen here in your last two posts alone. If you don't want to be here, simply take your own advice.
Why are you?
I'm here because i am invested in the project and care enough about gaming to actually get a stable internet connection.
