Online game mode features

Hello folks.

Heard great things about this game, and would like to give it a try when official version is released.

I wanted to better understand about online game mode features for this game. I spent a great deal of time in Diablo 3, where your personal save/progress is saved separately rather than in your local drive - this of course prevents editing/hacking save files. I know some people don't like this (mainly because you can't mod and require constant online mode), but I liked this feature. Perhaps it gives me additional allusion of accomplishing things (which would feel much more quickly depreciated with available hacks and such).

I am wondering where this game falls in this regard. I am told there is single player mode as well as multiplayer mode. Will there be essentially an option where all players are prevented from cheating/hacking and play "legit"? I am sure botting is constant issue with games like this, and unfortunately is one of reasons why I am thinking about jumping out of games like Diablo 3.

Thanks.

I am still new but from what I understand is there are two types of saved characters, Online Characters and Offline Characters.

Online Characters has their character information saved server side not locally on the players PC.

Offline Characters are saved locally on the players PC.

Offline can only play offline and online can only play online, cannot switch back and forth.

Why does it matter and what do you gain/loose from it?
To me, it sounds like you're the one looking to cheat ;)

Actually sounded like he was just giving information to the OP.

The big bonus to offline mode will probably be the possibility to mod the game. Cheating is another but some people just enjoy being a super powerful being.

To the op, the two are completely seperate. So if you want that feeling of accomplishment that no one is cheating and you did everything legit, play online.

Personally I like having an offline mode. Once in a while I don't have a internet connection and it's nice to have a character to just mess around with. Just keep in mind that you won't be taking an offline character online.
