At Elite: Dangerous not promised offline mode

Release Elite: Dangerous scheduled for next month, and in the game at the time would not promise the offline mode. Originally Frontier Developments was intended to embody two modes: dynamic and changing online - and offline singleplayer. According to David Brabo, it will not come true.

Chapter Frontier obyanit reasons for the decision to abandon the studio single mode: "Galaxy, history, mission must match, and this means that even in a single game would occasionally connect to the server. But this implies the additional advantage that each will be involved in events occurring in the galaxy. "

"Completely devoid of connection with the online game would be unacceptably limited and static in comparison to the constant dynamics, we want to offer - said Brabo. - Online membership allows us to simultaneously develop and oversee the galaxy with unfolding depending on the actions commanders of history. "

"Research is also a key factor, and it is important that the investigated one player expanses match what time to explore other users - regardless of whether it is a single game or a network. Sophisticated and consistent world - that we have achieved, "- said the head of the Frontier.

However, the reaction of users was, for the most part negative: on the official forum topic to discuss solutions developer already has several hundred pages. Executive producer Michael Brooks decided to clarify the situation with the fans a little more detail: "The problem is that all the mechanics of the galaxy is tied to online servers."

"The amount of data and processes is enormous, and they can not be computed offline without significant damage to the vision of the game. Believe me, we have not sat down and began to look for an idea that would have caused you the greatest irritation. We had to make that choice - and we did it ", - concluded Michael.

Plunge into the now online world exactly Elite: Dangerous will be on December 16th.
