I am playing on a console (PS4) with my 2 sons and my wife. We do not have internet access for the playstation. We connect it about once every 3 months to do updates and then it gets disconnected again and has no internet at all.
With the new Bedrock version you can longer change your skins at all while offline and everyone gets defaulted to Alex which is silly since we don't all want to be Alex, especially with 3 males playing.
If you click on "Profile" while offline it just tells you to sign in to the PSN. We cannot do this. Even if we were connected to the internet I still couldn't change any of our skins because these are local user accounts on the PS4, they are not tied to 4 separate PSNs because that is totally unecessary for us to simply play local co-op with my wife and young children.
We know this game has the capability because it used to be possible before the Bedrock version. The only way we can now change our skins is if we click "Editions" and play "Old Minecraft" which no longer is updated and stopped being supported a long time ago.
I've read through other tickets that are similar, and a lot of the mods and players are not understanding the problem. The other people are not saying they are playing hacked or pirated versions of Minecraft offline, that is not the issue. The issue is the CONSOLE generation (PS4/Xbox/Switch) all got updated to Bedrock so now we're lumped in with the PC players. "Offline" is a very important part of couch co-op. Not everyone has a situation where they can or want their console to be online. You guys have no idea how many people in the US still have dial-up internet because no other alternative is available, and how many military service members play from barracks and while on cruise and cannot have internet. To disable skins because of a cash-grab is ridiculous.
This is not a suggestion, this is a bug report because you do not need to be online to edit your profile skin, same as how you don't need to be online to change your controls. This needs to be fixed.
Thank you.
