We all are players. We all have a reason to be AFK for a moment. Even if this moment is when we are fightinig with bosses.
I have a newborn i got to sand by near my child. But i want to play to chill for a while. There is no pause in this game. I bought a D4… yeah it is great game, but i had to bought a D2 also becouse there is a PAUSE button… rly?
I never wanted that my Diablo adventure will be something like POE… this is single and multi game to chose… i undesntand why i have to bo connected to internet. But why i cant play solo? Why i NEED all time others players… Why i cant just conncet to multi when i want?

Because the game isn’t designed to be played with an off-line mode. It’s designed to be an always online game with an open shared world.
Nobody likes it but it is what it is.

This online-only affects not only that you have to see other players, you also lag a lot just because. I though its my videocard or driver or whatever, but there is no sign of any lag in other games. Still, i think diablo uses blocking sockets or something like that, so sometimes it freezes because of connection.
Even when im in my exclusive dungeon for side-quest, i just got disconnected 2 seconds before my minions killed the boss. And know what? All loot is gone, quest was contiuned, and i had to search youtube to know, that i really didn’t kill boss, but it run away.
Just after update i was queued to login, then queued to game, and it took almost 10 minutes in total. Really, i have to wait 10 minutes to enter a game, where i will be alone anyway?
Just got a little triggered, sry
Ok… designed. So what? I have an question. When it is my choice to use cuted single player witout those all things what mutliplayers gamers could use. It is so bad?
You didn’t buy a game anyways.
You bought a LICENSE to play a game on Blizzard’s terms. The license includes the right to deny you access to the game in any way at any time they want. So there’s no point in complaining.
No idea what you’re even trying to say here.
If you mean ‘cut single player’ the answer is simple. No, you don’t have a choice. You knew when you bought the game that it had no single player nor off-line mode. The game was never designed to be played as an off-line single player game. That’s pretty much it. It’s in the nature of the design for shared open world multiplayer games.
You haven’t lost anything because single player has never even been in their design plans.
Game design vs quality of life features.
Children vs free time.
Its always a trade off. Often you have a choice, once made you have to live with your decision.
The game was never advertised as offline singleplayer, so you knew that before buying it.
Btw, once you are geared up and use a good working build, boss fights usually dont take longer than 1 minute. (only world bosses and soloing Helltide bosses takes longer)

People complained over a decade ago of D3 missing an offline mode but there still isn’t an offline mode in that game. I can’t see it returning to D4 anytime soon.
There are ways to go offline in D3 
Oh god I am so sick of people asking for offline mode. You’ve been yapping the same crap since Diablo 3, that is 10 years now.
It won’t come, you’ll have to get used to it.

It doesen’t have to be offline mode. Just let me play in this quite fast phased game with no lag because of online - and im ok.
Do you ask for every online game to go offline personally for you?
While there may not be a true off-line mode, you can simply set your session to private/solo so no one else can join.
However, since D4 is designed as an shared open world multiplayer game, we’re never going to get that option here, let alone a true off-line mode.
If you don’t want to play with people maybe do not choose mmo games?
I find it really confusing that in theory somehow developed person with a brain chooses to follow emotions instead of logic.
On the other hand, the prefrontal cortex develops fully when you reach 25yo so I guess you are younger.
