Guild Wars 2

I play on a laptop and often find myself wanting to practice using my new build or profession but unable to due to a lack of internet connection.

A small “Offline Mode” with a few NPCs would make this possible. Perhaps a set of Golems like in the Heart of the Mists along with a number of NPCs who fight back. These could be the sparring profession npcs in the Heart of the Mists or even other npcs with a range of difficulty tiers.

I don’t know how useful this would be to others but it’d sure be useful for me.

Thoughts?

Can’t see huge benefits from this but also can’t see huge problems either. Would be a cost benefit issue for the company to decide.

MMOs don’t work like that. They would still need to be able to verify that you are allowed to play the game, i.e. that you have a valid and active account.

And the biggest problem is that some calculations and confirmations are done server side, so they would need to invest a lot of money to program the client to be able to do all those calculations instead.
