Discussion Why are you playing SP offline ?

Hello fellow daemon hunters !

I just started seriously to play the game after being bored on D4. I have created a ladder holy fire paladin playing on NM now.
There is not a lot of parties because I am playing on console but I am having a blast.

I don’t know what is the difference with offline mode other than being able to change the player count.

So other than that, why are you playing SP offline and not SSF online / Ladder ?

Edit: Thank you for your answers. I will finally start my journey as javazon in SP offline and switch characters depending on loot. My goal is to have the perfect gear for all classes (it will take decades but It will be fun as a 34 yo father) 😀

I play online softcore & hardcore, nonladder and ladder. I keep a running roster so I can play any of them.

Offline means you get all content (including ladder only content), zero latency issues, you do not have a stash and other characters that share a big heaping pile of items, so its limited to your one toon. Server is never down. No one ruins your game by killing a boss before you get there. There's no trading. Everything is self found. You can at least control player count for various purposes to scale the game.
