What? Wilds can be played offline. The grind is there but it’s about the same as the other monster hunter games which can also be played offline. The online part of the game just lets you do hunts with other players.

I'm not sure you can play completely offline, is that really the case? You can play single player the whole thing tho

So far, yeah. If it's like World, eventually there's a quest that is just too damn hard to carry alone (Extremoth in Vanilla, I'm looking at you), but if you are not a completionist, sure you can be offline and single player for most of the story line. Actually it looks like offline support is slightly better in this one.

I'm not a total solo hunter, but I am 90% of the time, don't really play with randoms.

What I mean is that the game won't let you be truly offline, you seem to always be connected even when alone

And I'm saying it's the same as world. You can drop off the net and play. Private session --> drop connection, play on. Can't say I've ever tried starting it with no network because there's no way in hell it's running on the deck, but you could with MHW, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same rules apply. I will try to remember to check later.
