Some Friends Appearing Offline When Online

Hey all. I have two friends who always appear as offline in my friends list, even when they are online. We can be in party chat, and they will still shoe as being offline. The only time I've noticed a change in status is if we're actively in a party together,
they'll appear as online in my friend list in game (in Destiny). Their profiles don't show me recent activities, none of their achievements are in my feed, and I can't check their friends lists either. I've looked for them in the Destiny game app and in SmartGlass
and still cannot see them. They've both gone through their settings several times and made sure they're not set to offline, and other friends of theirs can see them with no issue (including each other). Is there any answer to this problem? They're two of the
people I play with the most, and it's a big pain trying to coordinate events when I can't ever see that they're on. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

:)

 

Friends offline glitch

most of my friends don't appear offline, but when some of my friends and I were playing online, the party glitched and now everyone is appearing online when they really are not. is there a way to fix this and if so how

 

What is the best settings for playing online on xbox live?

Depends on what you feel like doing. If you want friends to know you're online, set your status to "online". If not, appear "offline". You can still send/ recieve messages/ invites when appearing offline.

 

It may be there privacy setting or may be the system ghilitching out sometimes. I wouldn't worry about this problem too much. hopefully others on the forums can provide more details about this.
