Comrademoco Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I was going to put this on the idea box but after thinking about it, I decided to put it here as a question. Now, based on the story we have so far, and the news about the game thus far. That makes think, will there be a 'single player' mode for DU? I am asking because I am not too sure if it can be done for DU. Any thoughts/ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamstar Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 First, in Dual you won’t have to use predesigned ships, and in fact there will be no predefined ships. We will have some basic ships available at the beginning but nothing will force you to use those I pulled that off the Multiplayer Ship devblog. I would personally be disappointed if they made a mode creative or survival, but single player non the less, where people were using resources that aren't connected to the multiplayer version. and so in a sense they are building and testing ships for free. Edit: I think a standalone of you being a fighter pilot or something. as the arkship is trying to leave earth and you die heroically in the end escorting the ship fending off a bunch of freebooters or something could be possible Somewhat related once they have a semi final release of the character builder, I would love a stand alone of that.

Comrademoco Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah, I wasn't sure something like single player story could be done in DU. In a sense, I guess the better question would be... Are there any plans to do a standalone or single player mode/story? If so, how would that be done? I have a few ideas, but again, not too sure it would work...

NQ-Nyzaltar Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi everyone, There won't be a single player mode, for several reasons: - In a Single Shard MMORPG, we don't consider it would be appropriate. We want all the players to be in the same world and we want that each of their actions can have an impact on the world. By doing a single player mode, we would dilute the purpose. However, if a player want to build things or roleplay with some friends without being bothered by some PvP Action, we will give him the means to do so (by staying in a personal area inside the Arkship Secure Area, and probably some other means not definitely decided. And giving the opportunity in such areas to grant or forbid access to other players). - Developing a Single Player Mode means allocating development time to it, pushing back even farther the official release date of the game. We want to prevent that. The development time for the game is already quite significant and we don't want to extend it for something not essential to the core game. However, there will be probably something that feels like a single player story: The first minutes in the game, where any player will learn basic game mechanics through tutorials, discovering the storyline and making the first steps in the game world.

Yeah I had a feeling it was so. So that takes care of the curiosity! Clarification is much appreciated. Thanks Nyzaltar! BTW gratz on your 100th post! And it's now 1:13am... Time to pass out!

Mod-Merwyn Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 This subject was discussed an hundred times. As Lethys said, no need to revive it here. See the last official and definitive answer from NQ here: https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/12341-single-player/&tab=comments#comment-72273. I'm locking this thread. ~ Merwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
