so some people want to appear as they have a life? and blizzard is supporting that option?


No but sometimes I want to do a quick SC2 game, but then I log in and I got chat spam from Diablo3 friends instead.
This actually caused me to play SC2 a whole lot less:

- I've got an hour, lets play a quick sc2 game.
- Hmmm. But I don't want to chat with people atm.
- Plays other game instead.

global play, appear offline is it possible valve have infiltrated blizzard?


No but this shows what some healthy rivalry can do.
I kinda wish valve would make an RTS too lol, that would mean we got 2 great RTS games pushing the limits to be better than the other.

Neat feature to have, if late. One thing though: they must implement it the right way. What's the right way? It's to ask BEFORE LOGGING INTO BNET how you want to appear. Otherwise, you will appear as online briefly then offline. And everybody knows what that means.

I imagine it will be on the login screen, like in HoN.

Some time AFTER?!?! What? Why the hell is it impossible to add new features when they RELEASE new games, not just release some gameplay contents and THEN take care of the rest?

Not the biggest deal but it has always bothered me their complete refusal to implement such a simple feature.

Offline feature. That must have taken millions of lines of code. It's the ability to hide in plain sight. It's the ability to become a ninja with a click of a button. The level of obfustication has surpassed that of the hollow man. This is a monumental challenge and I applaud the programmers for conceiving and realizing this feature in the span of a tiny fraction of a millinium.

Awesome news. This was one of the main reasons for me getting a second account. Kinda meh that they'll add it after the HotS release, they should implement it from the start. I mean "how hard can it be?".
