Well, offline progress has been fixed, soft of, but it doesn't make any real difference. Was offline for over 20 hours and advanced 15 levels...ridiculous and possibly even more annoying than when it didn't work at all...
I've had it with this game now,issues with loading the game every other day and the idle function is laughable. I was offline for twenty hours and when I came back I hadn't advanced more than 15 levels! Idle my ass...oh well, I guess it doesn't matter because only minutes later I got disconnected from the server and couldn't continue playing anyway...
Fun to begin with but becomes unplayable after a while. The problems have been adressed in other comments but here's a quick recap; repair/crafting cost is too high, gathering resources takes to long and items breaks way to fast. I've gotten to level 30 but progress is now so slow that it just isn't worth the effort anymore...
