xzenocrimzie Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Now, I didn't do as much searching as I wanted to do to make sure that this isn't a duplicate thread, but I'm pretty certain that nobody has suggested this yet.As a huge supporter of LAN gaming and actually going to your friend's house to go play games, myself and my friends find it lacking that there is no support for LAN gameplay for situations where there is, or may not be an internet connection.Now, given that Warframe is an online game (and I definitely should stay that way), having an option to be able to play the game with friends over LAN and not over the internet would be kuhl.Now, granted, it probably will not happen but eh, might as well put it forward! o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzenocrimzie Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 You cant play this game offline, it requires and internet connection to save your data to the servers. So there will never be LAN Yes I understand that to a very high degree. However if they added support for offline play (where stats are not saved) I wouldn't complain. I just want to be able to play the damn thing even when I'm up north with my buddies at the cottage where the wifi-hotspot does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzenocrimzie Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Play are your local coffee shop where wi-fi is free. Wifi is not an option, given that there is no cell tower or wifi-hotspot for 20km. When I say north I mean NORRRTH!! Like I see polar bears out my window when I wake up.

Tetsmeha Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Account info is all serverside, so there's no real way to make SP without changing the entire infrastructure of how the server would handle updating data from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagibu Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It's not really hard to write to file instead of to database, if you have a good architecture. They could simply introduce offline characters that can't be played online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vats3 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 the problem here runs in line with the same problem that diablo 3 had, you can not play diablo 3 without internet connection even solo, but there is a VERY good reason for this, its just to better prevent hacking (btw this is the first time i have seen a lan suggestion but there are hundreds of people asking for offline) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41_ma3 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 LAN play is much welcomed. Considering that the game is using peer-to-peer connections for hosting, an option to not take a detour through the net just to play with another computer right next to yours is a nice feature.

Also, who cares if hacking in the offline mode is possible? Hacking on a private LAN party doesn't really make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacking on a private LAN party doesn't really make sense. its about stats, when you hack offline and then come back online if it resyncs it is very possible that someone could have played with the data and gave themself max lvl everything, and the alternatives for this are just abit pointless in none of them would there be any reword to playing offline, the closest thing they could do is you play with the same stuff you had when you last logged on but that would mean all data would have to be stored in both the serve and your computer witch just dosent make sense to program or use your space to save something they already have saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
