Also a button to toggle that off an on would probably be helpful, although I highly anticipate that I personally would ever want it otherwise. " just put something about being on the app.
#BATTLENET HIDE ONLINE STATUS OFFLINE#
I think ideally having it so they display like they are offline (and in ABC order with the rest of the offline people that's another thing that irks me is that they're BELOW all the people playing games and it makes it harder to find people) but perhaps instead of it saying "last online. I simply want the ability to "hide" friends that are not logged into a game. The group thing itself I am not interested. Basically, before my list was spammed with "online" friends, I liked it. The reason why I'm so reluctant to use addons like Friends Group and the like is because I actually like the way that friends are displayed for the most part. I didn't realize they changed the in-game friends list, and the wording was a bit ambiguous. While a few of them might actually be using the chat feature, the vast majority of these people just have the app minimized in their system tray and might not even be anywhere near their computer, and it's pointless to display you describe would be possible, and an improved friends list has actually been on my to-do list for some time, but I don't have an ETA on when I will actually do anything with the idea, sorry. Since the app added chat, in addition to your friends who are actually playing games, you now see a bunch of "online" friends with the icon next to them. Next to each online friend, you'll see an icon indicating how they're connected to. If you have any BattleTag or RealID friends, log into WoW and look at your friends list. However, it should be addressed, as it is leaking information that the user has explicitly chosen to keep restricted, by manually choosing to “Appear Offline”.Wants to modify the in-game friends list in World of Warcraft to hide the friends who are only online in the app, rather than logged into a game.
It could be an unintentional bug or side effect of how the login systems work.
However, he also found the information that is leaked because of this concerning. Now my friend doesn’t care too much about being offline, I do, and he’s doing it to poke fun at me in all good fun. His status indicated “Offline for 40 minutes”, therefore I now know he started playing 40 minutes prior which was confirmed. However, I can see that his status jumped from “Offline for 20 hours” to “Offline for 1 minute”.Ī separate time, I joined in, I can see him active on Discord and join in with our clan. He looks offline in Battle.net and in Overwatch. With that knowledge, you can also estimate the length of time that person has been online (whist they have indicated to appear offline).Īs an example, my friend chose to Appear Offline. Some people prefer to appear offline, and have their reasons for it.Ĭurrently the information can be used to infer that someone is currently online, or at the very least, online recently. Now, to my understanding, the change in state is so quick that the colour icon indicating status doesn’t change but the time does. As if it doesn’t care, quickly makes you makes you akin to “available”, checks your current status, and then set it.
In the friends list, and also within Overwatch itself, the "Offline for " should indicate the last time a user was logged into the client, whilst not appearing offline, i.e., with the status: Available, Idle, or Busy.Ĭurrently, it resets that time when you log into the client, regardless of your current status. When appearing offline in the Battle.net client, the user should, for all intent and purpose, appear completely offline.
