Xbox One technical question

You sum it up very perfectly. Why indeed should people have to go through these needless hassles?

It just seems to me that Xbox One is still in a build where it still operates as an "always-on" console and the system update they bought out to disable it only partially works.

Only a few months ago Phil Spencar cited one of the reasons why certain games have extremely bad install times is because many games were developed with the assumption that Xbox One would always be connected to the internet.

"The change to having to deal with an offline-only state meant that all the install code-flows weren't as perfect as they could be." - Phil Spencer.

Maybe certain games are still being made under the assumption that Xbox One needs to be connected to the internet and this is possibly whats causing the console to automatically switch the offline settings withoutout the gamer even choosing to do so?

Either way this is not good news. At least I am aware of these problems still persisting and will continue to steer well clear of buying the Xbox One for some considerable time yet.

Well, of course you couldn't get on Destiny - it's pretty much an online-only game.

Settings - Network - Go offline. You don't need to be signed into a gamertag to do that either. I used that option on Christmas Day when Live was offline and I couldn't sign in, so I went offline, then signed in, and I could play my games offline.

Yes, I suppose I could have unplugged it from Network but the point being, why should I have to rearrange my house and my Network when a Setting is specified on the Console for Offline.

It should stay Offline until I decide to turn it back Online. Further, a Profile should never be Signed out automatically because I couldn't connect to Xbox LIVE. It should be default persist in the Offline version of that Profile until the User decides. I
was the one who put it that way (Offline), why does the Xbox One decide for me when it goes back Online. Straight up stupid trying to be simple but making things more complicated in the end.

As for the original 24 Hour plan, meh It was only intermittent of about 2 hours Online, 2 hours Offline for about 6 hours. It well met the minimum of within 24 hours.

Ah ha brandiesel1.....it can be altered in the settings. Those that were having trouble over the last few days had not changed the settings.

Yea once your signed in you can choose to go offline, but if you can't sign in you can't choose offline.
