    Yeah, it works the same as the existing offline mode where no progress is saved. The only difference being you can do an offline with friends. It’s nice for showing someone around a map or practicing no-risk PvP against your friends, but that’s about it.

      I see, thank you!

      Gating it behind EoD was already not great, since it’s no progression and all, but now asking a price for it…? Unless it’s a trivial amount, like $2, I really can’t see why would anyone pay for it. A real raid would be better in all conceivable ways, except the stress of course. You can acquire map knowledge on your own oflline raid, ad PvP against friends, while useful to an extent, without the actual risk of losing your gear won’t be as good as real PvP.

        The bummer is, it’s most useful for new players who are less likely to be paying for extra things. I have no interest in using offline coop for myself but more so for reaching be players the game.
