    Just confirmed that you can't play Diablo 3 seasons on the Switch while offline. Which, while not unexpected, kinda sucks!

    Now I'm curious. How does this exactly work? You just can't use the seasonal character while offline at all, or just can't make any progress towards seasonal objectives offline?

    My only character is a seasonal character and I've played offline just fine? Like it said something about not being able to update leaderboards but I don't care.

    Presumably, you can’t play it offline at all. Like the PC version. The game might be built so that you need to connect to their servers.

    Huh, weird, it told me that seasonal servers weren't available.

    To be fair, I did turn off the game shortly afterward because I just wanted to check, so maybe I could have waited and it would go "oh you're okay."

    @Moriveth I just confirmed this by putting my switch into airplane mode. Looks like doing so.makes you inelegible for season leaderboards, and you can't create a new seasonal character (per Polygon).

    Huh, interesting. I suppose I probably didn't wait long enough, then. Does it make you ineligible for leaderboards entirely, or is it just disqualifying you while you're not online?

    Unclear, but looks like that specific character can't get on the season leaderboards.

    This is pretty common, I even get this message on the PS4 if I log into Diablo before my friends list boots up. Game still works fine but something about their leaderboard verification lags behind the game start up/ Console boot cycle.

    Lotta bad taste names actually. Whoever uploaded that image kinda sucks and stands as a reminder that if you're putting something up for reference and think it's a good chance to demo your rapier wit, maybe don't.

    Oh wow and it is just in the Japanese version?

    So they knew it was racist enough to remove from the US release but that Japan wouldn't care so they left it in

    While the look is new to Smash Bros, it's taken from an old Game and Watch game that has been reworked in reissues in the past to remove the racist imagery. Considering at a minimum localization teams have pointed out the issue with it in the past you'd think they'd have known better now.
