I wonder how the DDF thread on the subject went?
The requirement for constant online connection. Want to buy something (ingame)? -> server authentication etc.
True that.

No offline mode DDF thread?
There was no such a topic.
There wasn't one.
While I have a steady internet connection, im not one to constantly hammer it. I am a gaming addict, strange set of affairs having this being my 1st game that im trying to return.
Yes I was trying to be clever. Whether I am or not is best left for another discussion, I don't think I am.
But Im not merely trying to jump on the bandwagon. I was already on with my own reasons for it. Far as I am aware KS cannot be refund outright as its more of an investment.
From my understanding Solo is essentially open without the openness of other people being with you. So with no 'Net you don't even get Solo mode.
We WANT FULL OFFLINE MODE. Simple as that
I am honestly very irritated by this. I remember back in the day when I was foolish enough to have preordered Battlefield 3, which promised special access to the game three days prior to official launch. I ended up not getting the code and there was nothing that I could do about it.
In fact I am mad. I guess asking for a refund now is useless seeing as I'm a Kickstarter backer, but damn it... this again.

Seems like quite a major design decision to make without consulting the Design Decision Forum and getting their opinion.
Unless you were told it would have a fully offline mode. Yes, you probably would.
This actually had nothing to do with Kickstarter, although that is where some of us first put money in, I actually put way more money in AFTER the Kickstarter when we were still being told we'd be provided with an offline mode and a DRM free version.. We've seen and even had the fundamentals of have a fully offline mode would work explained to us well after the Kickstarter was done. They waited until 1 month prior to public release to state the facts here. Online-only and login required is not even DRM free, as it still states the product will be, nevermind offline mode!
Well someone has to
dude just stop assuming, there are people (like myself) that bought the game 1 month ago and it was clearly stated that offline mode was a thing.
and i don't even understand why i have to justify myself from people like you.
what's your post relevance to the thread other than bashing other people?
"love people to moan" really mature
That is called Solo. That isn't what FDEV previously detailed in previous communication.
People like to say "People love to moan" without understanding the issue or timing, too.
Read the first few pages, the game will require a connection for much more than that.. page 9 specifically

Passionless.
> This < is a KS log extraction I compiled for a thread about 8 months ago regarding the efforts Styggron (and others) went through to determine whether or not an OFFLINE mode will exist in ED.
It details communications with FD and the community regarding this specific OFFLINE point. At the end, you will notice that I stated that Styggron (pre forum moderator days) had acheived a victory, and I felt he deserved a big community hug for not only the perceived victory, but in the manner he conducted himself during his patient requests.
Now all that effort ... all that passion ... was for nothing.
If you are out there Styggron, I know the difficult position you are in now as moderator in make any heart felt comments. A position you most likely volunteered for, and acted in such a professional manner for the part 2 years, because you believed that as FD supported you, you will help support them.
Its a sad day when I read the latest newsletter, and I am sure as others will do shortly, I will need to reassess my involvement with this project which has changed at the 11th hour.
To those backers out there who understand why such a change is significant to some, I thank you for your understanding. To others who had no idea why this backflip is so significant to some, I am sure you will continue enjoy the game, so let us not distract you.

For them to cheat themselves, alone? Or do you mean that it would be difficult for Frontier to validate data online? What are you saying? I understand the 'galaxy secrets' could be pulled, but I'm not sure I really care, maybe they should try encrypting and hoping it takes a while for people to break it.

They really didn't need a thread in the DDF, because everyone knew there was going to be offline with a static galaxy and multiplayer with a dynamic one. What's to discuss?

Because people don't cheat in online games... hmmmmm.
Anybody play GTA Online - hackers injecting billions of in-game credits and that was on console?
How about aim bots for Battlefield 3/4.. The decision has nothing to do with cheating....
