Whelp. The MMO lite aspects are what made me interested.

Is there anything that was there before that is for sure not going to be there now as a result of this?

No more matchmaking/lobby’s. No more in-game store/MTX/battle pass Only solo/peer to peer/local game.

No, I meant things that people would miss. I guess matchmaking fits that bill, but we’ll have to see what it looks like outside of direct invites once this new version exists. Each platform provides free matchmaking services, so I’d be surprised if it didn’t exist at all.

That sounds great tbh

Well the MMO aspects. It is now single player game with optional co-op.
Nothing against single payer games. I just love me some MMO/MMO lite games.

But could it not still be the exact same game except without a server requirement?

You are asking if it could be same experience as an MMO-lite without being online. Think about it.
Core gameplay will stay, yes. And sounds like they changed quite a bit. But if you were promissed an MMO-lite and are getting a single player game…
I hope that it is notnthe exact same game but offline, because it will not hold up. There are different expectations from a MMO and single player game.
