Whew, it's really late for me, but we finished formatting the log from the developer chat that just wrapped up.

Rene: can people enjoy the entire game without having to go online?
PK_Hedges: totally
PK_Hedges: even after a whole day at work, i found myself laying in bed playing the game offline trying to get more l00t, and build up my parties
PK_Hedges: then in the morning taking the parties online for the Arena Rally sessions we've had
PK_Hedges: the game is winnable offline and online. - but its online where the fun is with other players, and chat and so on

Check out the full log here! I'm going to get some sleep.
