Default ROF online shenanigan.
Most of you have probably heard by now that Rise of Flight will only be playable online, there will be no offline mode. I thought it would be a good idea to vote, so we can see how many of us are for the idea, even though I think the answer is already obvious.

EDIT: There will be Single Player mode but it will require you to be online while playing.

The question is badly worded.

Many will think that there's no Single Play mode as well... and there's one, that requires an online connection at game start (and at game end to submit statistics).

Question should be:
Should ROF have a SP mode without online connection?

The fact is, you will have to be connected while playing so that your stats can be recorded.

Here are two qoutes from an interview with the team:

Do I need an internet connection to play ROF?

Yes, because first of all we are talking about online service, where you can get together with many other people with same interests, where you can get in groups and play against other users or AI and many more.


Can I play ROF in offline mode?

No, you can't.

Yes, BUT some people will think that no offline mode = no single player mode ; and there will be a single player mode. That's the point Rama raised, I believe.

I think that they are making a grave mistake on this...I believe they will loose 50 to 70% of the sale's that they could of had...I'm out!...and a really dumb idea they have, that will bother me forever.

This is the price we pay for living amongst thieves. Right or wrong, the honest people always have to pay the price for the thieves and the fools. I will try out the demo, and see if the price is worth it in this case.

Much as I am looking forward to this game (not been a good WWI sim since RB3d) the 'need to be connected' element concerns me, why is it needed, and what purpose does it serve??

In a nutshell...anti piracy. It seem's they would like to keep a locked game locked, is my take
