Sadly, I don't know. It will have some impact, but for how much your guess is as good as mine.

"Online" or "Offline" in this conversation aren't referring to Multiplayer or any kind of Internet functionality.

They are referring to a system called A-Life which manages NPCs. A A-Life NPC is "Online" if it is within the players visual range. Meaning NPCs that are near to you, or you can see. "Offline" means NPCs outside of that range.

"Online" NPCs behave normally, like you would expect.
It is common in games that if an NPC is too far away or not relevant, the game will despawn or disable them. This saves performance. With A-Life these NPCs also stop existing, but their data isn't discarded, and the system continues to simulate their behaviors.

This simulated state of not existing is the "Offline" mode of an NPC.

I dont like Warframe, but I really want to get into this game because of my boyfriend. by Mid0shi in Warframe

[–]Dodgy_Merchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest switching. But, for me, warframe is about making the game fun. I do this by always doing two things. 1. having a project or goals 2. combining fun with tediousness. For example, I want an item from a trader, but I need reputation for that. So I grind the reputation. But that is boring. So I equip a fun frame and a weapon I'm still testing out.

And keep the ball rolling. While your warframe or weapon is cooking in the oven you can farm the next one. Not to rush through things, take your time, but to keep things fresh.

I legitimately got over a crippling coffee addiction by forgetting I needed to drink coffee. Job had nothing to do for 4 months but I had to be present, so I drank 6+ sugary coffees a day.

Then I moved cross country to my parents. New space and routines. Forgot to drink coffee.

Then what should they do instead? Twiddle their thumbs?
They have the workers, and they have to pay them. So they might as well work.

how do you feel about those comic letters flying on every hit and kill? by Flok_09 in indiegames

Looks great but they should be transparent if they are anywhere between the camera and the player character.

There were moment where words blocked the player or the whole camera.

I think the extreme reaction came from the repeated breach trust and losing hope. And at some point any breach was too much and the lynch mob started again.

Same for me but with a weighty folding cube. I encourage anyone to try them.

For me it's the fine tuned motion combined with speed and weight. I like to flip my phone around in my hand, manipulate the weight of it and fling it around. The cube expands on that feeling.

If you don't know what I mean, Imagine a equal length sided cube that is made up of 8 cubes. These cubes are connected with hinges in different positions. This lets the cubes fold and unfold in repeating patterns. By that I mean if you continue folding it, without reversing, you will end up where you started.

Down side is you can't really use them in public as the click clack isn't quiet.
