Battlenet hide online status Offline#
If you turn on show as offline on you will hide:
Since there seems to be a lot of people confused about this.
It doesn’t make sense though, why have an offline function in the game, if you’re not really seen as offline. It’s adding that alt to a guild that usually causes problems with privacy.

If that changes I’ll update this post.īut what I can guarantee is if you keep an alt outside of your guild/group of friends and set yourself to offline while playing them, you will NEVER be contacted there. Hopefully somebody else can offer a second opinion just to be sure as I have no way of testing my info for definite - my partner’s game is currently broken so I can’t get him to test if my achievements are showing up or not. But if you keep your winding down alt guildless, your friends will definitely be none the wiser.Īccording to my partner, you also can’t be whispered or invited to groups if you’re set to offline - I often am myself, and he usually complains at me that I left myself set to offline again when we’re trying to raid together. The guild also indicates when you sign in in the usual way. If you’re set to offline in, I think you show as offline for absolutely everyone in your friends list, but if you’re in a guild with the people you want some privacy from, they’ll still be able to see you online and any gear you loot/achievements you earn will still be displayed to them. Help me get about 30 min in peace online, 2-3 times a week (I still do M+ with friends and heroic raiding with the guild when my shifts allow it)
I’ll not join a guild, and friends wouldn’t have my char on their friends list. Will I show up in the “quick join” list ? or can I safely join BGs, dungeons, etc ? If I made a little char on another server/faction and play offline: I have great friends in game, but some of them even though they claim they understand me wanting a little time to “no brain” the game, are still “accidentally” whispering me with something random, followed by “oh I’m sorry, didn’t mean to disturb” when I play with “away” or “do not disturb” and they know, they KNOW. This doesn’t matter much to me, I want to make a little new “winding down after 16 hours at work” char on another server, and just shuffle around for 20-30 min once in a while while my brain recovers from the long hours in a mad world of Covid (I’m an anaesthesiologist) So if one of the really smart people out there could clarify a few things for me please.Īs far as I understand, showing offline on means I’m offline in the guild, but if I get an achievement it’ll still pop up (I know this as someone showing offline while levelling got “caught” when hitting lvl 60) I also know that if a person has added the actual char on their friends list it’ll still show up as online. A good bit of research on google/reddit is giving me mixed results that may have to do with the age of the posts. I have been looking into the “showing offline” feature of the game and I’m a little confused as to what goes, and what doesn’t.
