    Ability to appear offline while showing online to specific friends.


    I was thinking that it would be nice if they would add a feature that would allow you to appear offline with the option of showing certain friends that you are online instead of showing offline to everyone. I like to play alone for the most part and don't like to be bothered to switch to whatever game my friends are playing but there are specific friends that I would like to be able to see me online even when I'm set to show offline. I thought it would be a nice idea to add a special option to show friends that are specifically chosen that you're online while having it show you as "offline" to the main friends group. Instead of none or all being able to see me online, you could have something like the favorites except it would act to them as if you were set to show online. I was thinking something like a "stealth" mode between appear online and appear offline. This is my first post so if I've missed anything or messed up somewhere, please let me know. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this would be a good idea but I think there have to be more people out there that don't like turning down invitations to a bunch of games they don't feel like playing at the time.

    Xbox Says I'm Offline When I am Not

    When you look at your setting does it say "Show Offline" or "Show Online" If it says "Show Online" then you are appearing Offline to your friends. It is a simple toggle. When you look at it it is showing your friends the opposite of what it is showing
    you. So you if want to appear Online to your friend you will want the switch to say "Appear Offline". This may not be the issue but it has confused a number of gamers in the past. Let us know. Good Luck!

    Friends Status

    Does your friend appear offline? The appear offline feature will still increase in day count if they play while appearing offline. If he is not appearing offline, sometimes (very seldom) will the friends list show people with a wrong status, but when
    it does it usually updates within a few hours when this issue occurs.

    My friend is stuck appearing offline (pls send help) SOS

    This happened to my brother.

    He toggled the Appear Online/Appear Offline a couple times and after a while it showed up as Online.

    Hope that helps!

    Live friends

    The friend that shows online always sees the others online we've tried, removing and adding, blocking and unblocking, and appearing offline and online.
