As first :) sorry for my bad English and i hope you understand what i want to say.

May be good idea offline play button in spiral knights?

Because lots of time some people have a trouble play spiral knights without lags and they die in a room for example "Fire Storm Citadel" because at your PC is your spiral knights character in wrong location... for example : You at your PC go next to "Red fire" but you are hit by this Red fire and you do not know how... and reason : you was a bid in "Red fire" way but you did not know that because you see at your PC something else.

Wouldn't work. sorry

you need a connection to load all the levels in the game. the lag is caused by the connection, not directly by other players. sorry D:

Then its not really offline

Then its not really offline mode, and server validation becomes even more critical unless they remove all rewards from running in offline mode.

Why not make offline mode

Why not make offline mode completely independent after login. You would get your knights equipment, but crowns or heat collected offline would not add to your real account; they would be lost. When you select "guest", you wouldn't even need an online connection, because no login data has to be verified. ... or when you log in, your equipment data is downloaded and cached on the client, so you can play offline without logging in, that means you could play when your internet connection is completely down. Of course, there can't be elevator costs, too.
It would probably be a big change, though, because the client will need to do all the stuff that just the server did in before.

somewhat useless

although this is a good idea i don't think it will help the game progress alot...

The only reason I could see

The only reason I could see this working is to troll around and heat up all of your weaponry offline.

Other then that I don't see how this could realy work.
Its a great idea if this game were something more like a regular mmorpg that you had to pay for to begin with so you don't have the elevator fee but because its not there's no possible way that I could ever see this working.

OOO once had an offline

OOO once had an offline version of their Puzzle Pirates game. It did not sell well enough to keep it up to date. I suspect OOO's business plan is that online games are the way to go. Yes, you could have an offline vesion generate zero real crowns/mats/heat. Yes, you could have a mini-server that runs on your computer to generate levels and such. It is all technically possible to do, but it would almost certainly take a huge amount of programmer time, time that would be far more productive/profitable doing other things.

Ehm why it can not be like :

Ok forget about totally offline :) but it can be partly offline as without be unstoppable connected to server and getting lags in game :)

Ehm why it can not be like : if you run new map it check how much possible crowns you can get in level, which is possible vita pod get in this level, heat ... and at end of map it send information to server like update.
