Hey ! I've been playing this game for awhile and i have only one problem with game play . that's LAGGING!!! . so heres a suggestion to reduce it

we need online game play for partying with other players (in to the clock works only) .So if OOO can make an option to go solo with out internet (ill explain later).there will be almost zero lagging when you are going solo!!.so heres the deal,
if we have the option of download almost all of the features in the clockworks when we are loading a level perhaps and also the option for going solo and offline at the same time we can have a much smooth and possibly a successful expedition .this may take longer to load or if it is possible to download levels as pacthnotes we can really get a very fun game play and if we want to reconnect or invite friends OOO can add the option of going online which solves many problems.

if you like my idea plz give thumbs up and help to improve my thread by suggesting.
Thank you.

/Slaps Asuka.

/Slaps a few more times for old times sake.

@OP
Basically what Asuka said. Clientside control allows user to adjust gameplay to how they want too easily. I don't know how,but considering you have ALL game control on your computer, it doesn't sound all TOO hard.

It may take longer to load if you're offline.

YA DON'T SAY?

In fact, it'll take a LOT longer to load if you're offline, because you won't be able to download anything.

Really, there IS a way your computer works, even if you think it's a magic box.

OUCH!!!!

THAT HURTS!!
Hmm..... looks like you guys are right its too dangerous because of all the hacking and stuff also i didn't mean to disconnect from the internet i meant that we will be locked and no one can join one and stuff so that we don't need an active connection to see the other players Sev.Any way i was just getting tired of times when we are almost taking out a boss or any one and suddenly we freeze and the next thing you know you are being surrounded by hordes of monsters and gets defeated (sigh).well i guess that's it .thanks for the slapping!!! i appreciate it.

@Negativeone:

Well maybe you'll think things through a little bit next time...

Surely you realize you lag even when you solo. This is because you're connected to the servers (Via internet duh). In fact, most the lag in this game is caused by a poor connection to the server (Or a poor connection overall), and not because of your connection to other players you party with.

I don't believe that this is a Player-To-Player connection game, because I feel little to no extra lag when someone says they're experiencing lots of it...especially when I play with my Aussie buddies. Rather, the game seems (Don't know cause I'm no expert) to use a Player-To-Server connection strictly.

It's the same in LD. You might have trouble killing a specific person because he has bad internet and you can't tell where on earth he is due to his bad connection to the server, but he doesn't make the entire game lag. There are quite a few MMOs that are Player-To-Player connection-based, which means if one person lags, the whole game lags, basically.

The boon you get from a player-to-player connection-based game is that it is less reliant on your ping to the server specifically. It still requires a connection to the server (duh), but if your ping to the server is bad, you might not experience lag if your connection to the other players is good. It's sort of a trade-off.

I hope I got all that right, maybe someone who actually knows this stuff can help me out. But anyway, point being that everyone here is probably thinking "Derrrrrp", because it's sorta kinda obvious to most people that we need a connection to the server. That's why it's an MMO, not Age of Empires.

@Schattentag:

I thought I was kidding too.

In fact, I was. But then *ahem* THAT guy showed up.

And then *ahem* MORE people showed up.

So I was like...I'm totally making one now.

If they were to do this,

If they were to do this, they'd have to make it so that any loot you get in offline mode doesn't count. And then people would get upset and think it was worthless.
