Nice addition, sucks that we have to wait for HotS for stuff like this though.

I would love to be able to pretend to have a real life, and maybe I'm overlooking something, but how is this going to be any different from "busy" or "afk" given that the match history still publicly displays all games played?

I juuuuuuuuuuuuuust waaaaaaaaaaaaaaant the renaaaaaaaaaame, even if we have to pay for thaaaaaaaat, and the teamtag too!

But nice option anyway, great! Barcode players are going to be more and more insearchable!

And just, what about their history? Like if I activate this offline status, then I make some laddering, will people see that I played just few seconds ago? Or is it going to updated as soon as I'm going online?

50cents says you have to "login", have the notification go to all your friends, and then click "Appear offline".

I hope I am wrong and they implement it so you can set yourself to offline status before logging in......

They're giving this away? Should be paid to appear offline button. Good for pro players who want to practice in peace. Just pay up every time you log in for the privilege.

Wonder when clan support is coming. I really don't understand why they keep all these features from the game. They had it in WC 3, shouldn't be that hard to take that and put it in. They have the man power and money to do it. If they were really holding it for HOTS that is dumb. Everyone who has WoL will buy HOTS lol.

It's kinda funny that Battle.net 2.0 has copped so much flak for making players feel "isolated" and lack of social functionality and yet people get excited about this change



It's the option. If i want to be totally isolated while doing me some MP i should be able to. And there should be good chat channels for the moments i don't want to be "isolated".

Finally we get this, oh how many times I didn't play SC2 because of it. :C

But with SC2 it's almost useless because someone can just check your Match History and see you were playing and another type of crap will flood it. "OMFG you were online and playing games without saying something are you hiding from me or something ?" -.-"

the sad thing is that i have like atleast 7 people on my friends list who would do this shit... it would just make it worse..
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Appear offline is awkward for something like wow if you encounter them in game lol. For diablo and starcraft it makes a lil more sense. Still cool news

I never saw the need for it in SC2. There are other features I would like a hell of a lot more.

Nice changes, and as always people still find a way to bitch about. Honestly, nobody cares how much butthurt you are over minor subjective things, or pretend to be. There is a polite way to express your critics and not by stupid childish ranting. It doesn't matter what Blizzard does, there is always some shitty whiny posts about how bad and stupid they are. It's getting boring, feels like b.net forums. You better change your attitude and mature up.

wont the guy ur playing know ur online? it saddens me that with all the changes sc2/bnet2.0 drastically needs this is what they have chosen to implement. On the other hand I bet this is much more for d3 and wow and sc2 is only getting it cause blizzard said might as well.

As opposed to the people who feel that the way they think is 100% correct and be dammed about anyone else and their opinions or ideas?
