hmm maybe the people who raging ARE the hackers lol cause what the hell is the big deal? There is almost wifi EVERYWHERE, not to mention portable modems from verizon, sprint, comcast.
Yes, there is wifi everywhere. Generally not always free. modems from those carriers all cost like 30-40 bucks a month for a plan. I don't want to pay $50-60 for a game, then $30 a month for wifi so I can play it whenever I want. Yes, I probably spent 90% of my D2 playtime on B-net, but the other 10% was spent on single player, or doing LAN with friends. Now we literally can't do either. As people said earlier, what if your power goes out and you figure you can spend a bit playing on your laptop while you wait for it to get back on. There are many reasons I can think of playing a game without needing wifi.
Damn you D3, I will still buy you, but with much anger if you have to have internet to play single player.

This is totally ignorant, What if I dont want to play on battle.net? Sure I could try and mkae a private game but what if I dont want to be connected? I should be able to play offline and not have to worry about servers crashing or dropping out of my own game. I just want ot hop in play and that is it. Offline mode allows me to do this easily and worry free. To hell with battle.net really. I just want my offline single player.

Well sucks for you than cause online only. Today blizzards servers are very stable, I can't recall the last time I was disconnected from B.net...hacker
Man people are seriously underestimating the ability of the crackers. It might not happen as fast as I predicted, but I believe it was Spore where they literally had set up their own server to emulate the EA server to activate games. They will figure out a way. Hell, someone might even make a mod that does it instead of having to have crackers do it. But it will get done.

Thats laughable, How can you possibly compare Spore to Diablo 3 in terms of security.
Does anyone other than me, that knows a bit about programming, just want to like... lash out when they hear a bunch of people commonly referring to "crackers(ing)" as "hackers(ing)". I can handle it from time to time, but when there's a thread filled with it like this one, it drives me bonkers.

I love how you acuse me of hacking, when I have never hacked in any Diablo game. Why would you acuse me of hacking just because I want to play offline?

I know your not a hacker, im just being facetious TBH I just can't understand why its such a big deal maybe i'm too stubborn to realize it.

How is it laughable? At it's time, spore was said to be just as hard to hack as they are making D3 sound. It's a legit comparison for a game that is what, 6-8 years old?
Don't think it'll happen Link since it isn't designed to be played offline at ALL.
I doubt it will happen fast, but I don't see the gaming community permitting Diablo 3 to be online only. Either Activision-Blizzard will make an offline mode or the gamers will. I just hope that Activision-Blizzard does because it will be faster for them to do it then the gamers to do so.
Whats more likely to happen is people create their own servers and play there but that doesn't fix the offline issue. I don't recall the game but it was some sort of RPG that people did this with.

Well I just believe that if I want to play offline, I should be able to do so without the hassle of Battle.net. I just want to hit offline play and BAm I'm playing, not have to connect to the internet or anything like that. Dont have to worry about maintinance if they decided to do that, or a service update or anything I can just play when I want how I want whenever I want. I dont understand why they would take that away.

Hello, I'm a Diablo fan since Diablo 2 came out. I really liked the game as it is. I was never a fan of playing it online. Although I sometimes go online for new patches of the game, sadly because I'm living in a third world country - Philippines, my internet connection is not as good as any connection in the US, Europe or even in Japan, I have only 1.5 MBPS. I purchase original games and sometimes gets disappointed by Internet Providers here, that's right, we gamers here in the Philippines gets lags all the time, so some of us decides to play games such as Diablo2, Warcraft 3 and other Blizzard products that doesn't really require online play, but to use the net for downloading the new patches. I heard the announcement about Diablo 3 not having an offline mode... as some of us Filipino Gamers are disappointed because Blizzard doesn't realize that aside from Filipinos are huge fans of Blizzard, we were thinking if Blizzard has thought this through with the problem of lags and connectivity problems from servers? I played their Starcraft 2 multiplayer and was somewhat disappointed, since I always get lags and in the end, I always lose the game, also some achievements lost. I was disappointed about No LAN mode on the game, because me and my friends could've enjoyed the game by making LAN parties and compete each other. It's not really the same anymore, and everyone here was expecting to play Single Player and getting to know more of the stories that Diablo 3 has to offer without any interruption on connectivity problems, although I can understand for multiplayer to be online and not LAN, because this is how it is with multiplayer these days.. you have to have internet connection. But what I don't understand if they have thought of the idea of separating offline mode characters from online mode characters, which makes everyone happy. We don't mind here in the Philippines if we can't get online as long as we can play it at the comfort of our own time and place. Although we are in the Internet Age, still, here in the 3rd world countries, we always work and strive hard to get the same amount of satisfaction as other gamers around the world will experience or have experienced (even if we get killed due to lags and connection problems), Still we played on. So please, to all those people who are lucky enough to be near on their (Blizzard) servers or stable internet connection, please think of this through, not just by yourselves but what other people like us who are far enough to have connectivity problems and still have the enthusiasm as any other Blizzard fan has. I hope you understand how lucky you are. Please let us enjoy this game together as gamers.
By the way, Starcraft 2 was cracked at the same time as it was released. So I really doubt that Diablo 3 will take a long time to be cracked. The advantage though about the original is when get to enjoy the latest patches without the hassle of finding them, since Blizzard now will auto update your game if you are running the game online. The cracked ones will be waiting for a new crack patch to arrive before they can experience what the original copies has to offer.
I'm just hoping they would do the same with Diablo 3 as they did with Starcraft 2, you can play offline but you can't get the achievements but at least you get to play.

Seriously people think that because it's online-only, no-one will bot/hack? I guess no-one bots or hacks in WoW, lol!
It's not in Blizzard's financial interest for that to be viable for most players.

I wish we could just let Blizzard North/Condor/Runic make Diablo 3.
At least one person knows...
