Offline Mode

Yeah the harder to hack the better.

I think everyone would agree with that. Except. Maybe hackers lol

People can't hack what's not on their local computer.

Anything can be hacked.

Sure, anything can be hacked, but it's far more obvious when you have to hack the server to alter your player's stats or to get the locations of enemies for a maphack.

Diablo 3 is the same way right? And people are already working on a private version.

If you have people commuted enough, trying hard enough, it will happen.

This game is not going to get private servers, and i prefer it this way, giving people the ability to play offline is making room for hackers to create/dupe items and who knows what else.

I think the bigger reason it might not have private servers is that it's free.

I didn't think about that

Character data was only kept on your local system in D1, they changed that for d2 due to the overuse of trainers and such in D1. I think also that many of the compensations blizzard made to d2 to "hurt" botters/hackers really just hurt legitimate players more, and I hope the devs here are smart enough not to repeat the same mistakes. Like when 1.10 came out, Durance of Hate level 2 was 4 times as large, so once the 1.10 mh came out who do you think that hurt the most? This brings up another question, in single player d2 your map was always the same every time you created a game, but online it was randomly generated each time, so is PoE going to be the same?

On a side note mh had a lot of features that weren't necessarily cheating, like the ability to view other peoples equipment, which to have the best of both worlds players could have a flag that allowed other people to view their equipment or not.

As PoE is online-only, each map will be different unless you have the extremely rare luck of getting the same map seed twice in a row. There is probably a check to ensure this never happens, though.

Your instance is saved for a set amount of time to allow you to re-enter if you crash or get disconnected.

This is good to know.

O ok since I was worried if there are going to be hackers in the game.

I hope, that there will be a offline mode when it's released..
