Is this something that can be looked at? Basically, have an option on the Character Select screen to log in as "Offline".

Taisynn✭✭✭✭✭While I would to have the option to play this game offline, this would never work in an MMO... And when a lot of people log online again, could potential overload the server as it struggles to bring every character up to date.Edited by Taisynn on May 21, 2016 5:52PMPC - @Taisynn - NA - CP 268

You guys didn't get it...he wants to log in and have people not see him log on...19 -

✭✭✭✭✭Won't happen. Since "offline mode" would open door for all kinds of hackings... "Sure, I won all those super-rare gear pieces on the daily stuff. Honest. While I was playing in offline mode..."
If you want offline, there's always skyrim. But ESO, as the name says and has been stated is an Online game - none of those I know of allow people to play offline.3 -
flguy147ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I think he may mean to be invisible not offline. Like if he just wants to be left alone and do his own thing and not be bothered to go run dungeons and stuff.11

In my defense, I just woke up and his wording was very non-specific. There IS a busy/do not disturb mode.PC - @Taisynn - NA - CP 268

GivvumBoane✭✭✭✭If you are speaking in terms of appearing offline to other players, there is an option in the social tab I think. You can change status between online, busy, offline, and maybe another option. I can't really remember. Otherwise, if you're referring to playing the game alone, then that won't be happening. The server would have to run too many solo world instances.All hail the prophet that is Mike Judge, for his Idiocracy prophecy is near fruition.2 -

Umm people can still see that you logged on and are online...you have to enable offline mode after you get into game...can be a hassle if you want privacy4 -

Hey is specifically asking if there will be a way he can enable this offline status BEFORE logging into the game. As it stands you have to log in to enable it...that isn't very convenient often times...5 -

Doesn't seem like much of a problem, unless people are Hawking roster status. Not like it pops up an alert letting everyone know you logged in.All hail the prophet that is Mike Judge, for his Idiocracy prophecy is near fruition.1 -
ettenmoor✭✭✭Sorry I should really clarify, I meant "Invisible", not play the game in Offline mode.4

If you are a guild leader and one to whom people come with questions all the time sometimes you can get a bit tired and want privacy so while for majority of people it may not be an issue, for those with large in game responsibilities it can be a life aaver...5 -

Glad I'm not a guild leader if people stare at status screens waiting for me to log in. Popularity sucksAll hail the prophet that is Mike Judge, for his Idiocracy prophecy is near fruition.2 -
Baconfat79✭✭✭✭The best workaround is to go i to offline/invisible mode before you log off. Next time you log in, it will still be enabled and people won't see the message saying that you have logged in.7

✭✭✭Its a convenience thing thou, if there was an option to log in invisible it would save us the trouble of having to remember to put ourselves as offline before logging off. So a +1 from me4 -
Taisynn✭✭✭✭✭Honestly, it'd be nice to have a choice to login as invisible if we want to. I'm an introvert with social anxiety. Sometimes I just want to play quietly.PC - @Taisynn - NA - CP 268

bloodenragedb14_ESO✭✭✭✭✭i think the OP means to login as 'appear offline' not 'offline mode' which is a DRM issue for mmo's i think
to log in and not show up as having logged in to your friends would be nice when you dont want to speak to anyone, or not get their hopes up since you wont be online long, like feeding horses, or crafting writs2 -

Hmm, ok after reading some of these posts again, does the PC pop alerts in the chat window when people log in? I play on Xbox and we do get alerts like that unless that person is on our Xbox live friends list. The only way for us to know if In game friends and Guildies are online is to check the roster.Edited by GivvumBoane on May 21, 2016 7:39PMAll hail the prophet that is Mike Judge, for his Idiocracy prophecy is near fruition.1 -
Reevster✭✭✭✭✭What is the reason you get booted after a short period of inactivity anyways? I mean back in the Day in EQ1, when they brought out traders, you "Had to" stay logged on so for other players to buy your junk, I remember being logged in for days straight at times, so it can be done.
i find it annoying that after like 10 mins you get booted if your not doing anything, seriously they need to change it to like an hour min.3
