Remember Online Status of Players when Logging Off and On

I would like the game to remember my status when I log out and then back in. If my status is AWAY, DO NOT DISTURB or even OFFLINE I would like the game to remember that and log me in that way again once I log back in.

Edited by Celestial Beaver: Title changed to something more relevant.

It's that hard to press N and choose from a menu eh?

Why? If you just logged in you're obviously not "away" are you?

If you really want to be antisocial you can take the time to press N.

No I want it as a feature I don't want to have to press N everytime I log in. The game should remember it. I wasn't asking you anyways. This is a suggestion to Anet and Anet alone. You are not allowed to participate. <grin>

I suggest you read what a forum is about before you come on here and make suggestions.

How hard is it to press n and choose from a menu?

And as onarik said if you just log in then you are obviously not away or offline.

tyrant is a phsychic (however you spell psychic lol)

As close as you'll get to that is this:

1. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/p...do=editoptions 2. Check the box.

/signed. I hate always signing in as online, and some idiot just automatically starts talking to me when I've only got a half hour to be online. It happens heaps, before I even get a chance to hit appear offline someone's already bugging me...

And when you ask them just HOW they do it seeing as they manage to message before you even finish loading, the usual response is "i play with the friends list open"....sheesh.

...its VERY annoying.

You can just change it and it was just cause more problems if you forgot about it and were contantly AFK, no noe could even whisp you to let you know.

Appear offline would be good for anti social people like myself but not really worth implementing for guild wars.

/signed because a few people have decided they're my friends after I traded with them once, and now they will NOT leave me alone. I won't even respond, but they'll still have an entire one-sided conversation about nothing in particular while I'm trying to clear a dungeon. Sometimes I don't remember to set myself as Away until after one of them has PMed me, and by that point it's too late. I don't want to be nasty and tell them to piss off, and I don't want them to get the passive-aggressive "This player is ignoring you" thing. I just want them to think I'm not around to talk.

I don't want to be Offline or DND because I DO have friends in the game that I want to talk to. They already know to PM me anyway. :P

/hermit

Also, /signed

sorry, too many idiots. It isn't hard to press N and change it, it's just people forget, like you forgot that people forget.

/signed. if I'm away for awhile, I'd like it changed to away.

What kind of title is that...

"Knowing Me, Knowing You" by ABBA.

And damn this thread for putting that song in my head every time I check the forums!

quite often i get pmed the second im on, and obviously thats because i can take a while t load, i dont always want to talk to people, sometimes i'm coming on for a few secs and then off again, or im doing somethign i dont want to be disturbed with. one example would be when im exchanging inventory items over a large group of charcters, its annoying to constantly click offline and sometimes you arent quick enough.

far simplier if the program recalled that you were last offline, as MSN Messenger does, and leaves you there

/signed

i set my self offline becuase i dont want ppl to pm me, i then have the need to change char, when i do, im set online again, so that person pms me :P .. then i have to reset myself offline, now it just looks like i am ingnoring him.

oh wait, i am. lol

Same problems here. It's even worse when you're trying to ignore your guild by saying g2g and setting as offline, and in 5 minutes you change your character and they notice you were on 1 minute ago. So /signed.

/signed

I don't feel like being bothered all the time and it seems like some people just watch the friends/guild list for when I come on and start whispering. Even worse, someone always decides to announce my arrival in alliance chat. I would love this feature.

/signed. Being able to press N from the character select screen to change your status and check your friends list for people you would rather avoid would even be enough.

Sometimes you just want to log on and not have anyone know you've been on.
