That is not single-player though, that's closed B.net. What you are doing is playing multiplayer, except that you are just allowing only 1 person in your game. Singleplayer is that button you click on above the Multiplayer one, and there is nothing you can do to get that character on closed Bnet. You can use him on Open if you wanted to, but not Closed. I want you to explain to me exactly how this new system of being always online will help with cheating in multiplayer when you can't even get on Closed Bnet with those single-player characters?

the mode I was playing was far superior in term of functionailities  to your single player so why should I exactly care about something with less functionalities ?

All I'm saying is what Blizzard is doing with singleplayer already existed in D2 and it worked great so arguing about battlenet latency isn't going to get you anywhere.....

And the reason they are doing it is simple, people learned how to dupe in singleplayer analyzing how the code worked, removing that is going to make it harder.

And like most companies, Blizzard is tired of people playing their games without paying, that's why the always on......

And you will have a tough time arguing that Blizzard does not have the experience to manage 10 millions+ always on players. they do that on a daily basis and those people scream murder if there is any issue with the servers or the connections.....

 

 

PS : Once this is implemented it should be fairly easy for Blizzard to offer free trial of D3 the way they do for Wow by the way.....

Because an internet connection is not required.... Did you really just ask that question?

I also don't see where you got the latency problem from because I am assuming you are still playing the game from your own computer, not their servers, and are not required to load anything form there in single-player.

It's their way to implement DRM, it's their product, they can pretty much do what they want to do with it.

Now you can argue you don't like it , that's your problem, don't buy it, end of story...

In the days and age however being always connected to the net really isn't that big of a deal.....
