Dopo 5 anni, forse in arrivo la richiestissima modalità Offline!
Nell’ultimo aggiornamento di Hearthstone sono state dataminate una serie di nuove stringhe che lasciano presagire che, a distanza di anni dalla richiesta della community, forse Blizzard sia effettivamente in procinto di lanciare la modalità Offline su Bnet.
Gli ultimi avvistamenti di questa feature si erano avuti a fine 2016 con un post di Jeff Kaplan sulla board di Overwatch e ancora prima nel lontano 2012 quando la feature tanto richiesta dalla community venne annunciata.
Che sia arrivata l’ora di poter giocare in santa pace?
La modalità offline, stando a quel poco che si può leggere nelle stringhe, ci permetterà di giocare da soli e senza rotture con l’unica nota negativa dell’impossibilità di mandare messaggi alla friend list ne di sfidarli.
Negli altri giochi, come ad esempio World of Warcraft, dovrebbe disabiliare completamente le feature di BattleTag, ma il giocatore dovrebbe essere comunque “whispabile” in game tramite il classico messaggio color viola.
In attesa di ulteriori informazioni vi lasciamo alle stringhe dataminate e ai post originali in cui veniva annunciata tale feature!
- GLOBAL_FRIENDLIST_CHALLENGE_BUTTON_IM_APPEARING_OFFLINE You can’t challenge {0} right now. You are set to appear offline.
- GLOBAL_CHAT_SENDER_OFFLINE You are currently offline.
- GLOBAL_CHAT_SENDER_APPEAR_OFFLINE You may not send chat messages while you are set to appear offline.
Jeff Kaplan on Appear Offline
Quote from Jeff KaplanWe would like to add an “Appear Offline” option to Overwatch. We are in the process of coordinating this with Battle.net and the other game teams. Because our social system is a cross-game system (WoW, Hearthstone, Heroes, SC2, D3) adding this functionality is not trivial for us. I know there has been discussion around this feature for a long time, and things have definitely not moved at a rate which is acceptable, I can assure you we care about the feature and want to figure out how to make it happen.
For your particular issue regarding invites, you can go into the Social Options menu and turn off invites.
Thanks for being patient with us.
Thank you for this. I was wondering if/when this would be added.
I wish I had a definitive “when” to provide. Hopefully a decent first step is just knowing that we aren’t opposed to the idea and want to embrace it.
Appear Offline Coming Soon Announcement (Sept 2012)
Quote from BlizzardIn the coming months, we’re planning an update to Battle.net that will give you more control over your online presence when playing Blizzard games. Soon, World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III players will be able to select “Appear Offline” as one of their Battle.net social-status options (along with Available, Busy, and Away) for those times when they want to wander Azeroth by their lonesome, dominate the galaxy in radio silence, or slay demons in solitude. When you choose this option as your status, all of your Real ID friends, BattleTag friends, and character-level friends will see you as “Offline” in their friends list whenever you’re logged into a game.
The “Appear Offline” status option will be added to World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III separately in future updates for each game. For Diablo III, we expect to add the feature in a patch after 1.0.5. For World of Warcraft and StarCraft II, we expect to add the option sometime after the release of each game’s upcoming expansion.
Thanks for your continued feedback, and we’ll share more information on the availability of this new feature in the months ahead.
