but with the normal minecraft its not like that.
This is not true. If you have it downloaded and have logged in using the launcher at least once, you can thereafter play in offline mode. But you MUST log in using the launcher at least once to verify you have a premium account.I think what he means is that sometimes he doesn't have access to the internet, he has it downloaded, but without internet you can't even launch the packs you have downloaded,

I always update..Have you updated your Launcher? The offline option was added in version 1.1.5
It should come up with the servers are down, when you try to login in then ask you if you want to play offline "YOU NEED TO TYPE IN A PASSWORD NO MATER WHAT" if you don't type in a password even in offline then your launcher will think that you are not a legit player and will not work, I'm guessing you did this but just being sureI always update..
