I paid 35$ for this game. I support this site, play it's modpacks a lot. You guys removed offline mode for what reason? Thanks to the minecraft servers being down, i can't even play with my buddy now(Lan). Thanks. Really sweet of you guys. The offline mode is on the actual game for a reason, and that's because the servers are not always up. Why in the absolute crap did you remove it?

I agree with this completely, I've been waiting so long for the servers to come back up. Oh well, lets look on the brightside, only an hour and a half to go (If I'm correct)
 
I believe that it worked not so long ago, that being said people often complaint that it was buggy so maybe they didn't remove it but it just bugged out?

That being said if they removed it is for a reason and I don't think they will re-add it in the ftb launcher because the curse-launcher will become the official launcher.
 
The curse launcher uses the official minecraft launcher unlike ftb launcher which requires authentication tokens to load up the modpack. And the official minecraft launcher has offline. :)
 
I'm fairly sure that offline mode also requires authentication. Maybe. At least, I see something to that effect when I use it in MultiMC.
 
I think I remember there being an issue with the launcher where you could play without having an account by going offline with it. Hence its removal.
 
This would not surprise me, not that the launcher is badly coded(I have no idea if it is) but there is just to much that can go wrong with a function like that.

How is that FTB's issue? I used to use offline mode before i had an account, on vanilla, and ended up buying it because of it. Please explain how it is any of FTB's business if people play without an account. If notch/jeb didn't want people doing that, they would remove the offline feature on the official minecraft launcher.

I'm not FTB team, and can't answer that. But if you owned a company, would you like it if a third party group let people play your game without buying it? It's one thing if Mojang does it, and another if FTB does.
