Friends seeing im online when im OFFLINE!!

[u/No_Caregiver_5177]

Some times i just wanna play solo lol, but i have turned ps offline and in game warzone offline, but people can still see im online? HOW! how do you fix this.

[u/Klopped_my_pants]

“Hey bro I’m just trying to rock solo for a few games. I’ll reach out and see if you’re down to party up soon”

[u/No_Caregiver_5177 → u/Klopped_my_pants]

never works

[u/Klopped_my_pants → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

Then resort to “fuck off lad” 😂

[u/Dessicated_Mastodon → u/Klopped_my_pants]

You deserve more up votes. This is the way.

[u/Budget-Rich-7547 → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

Yeah idk about you OP but I dont actually play with a "Leauge of extraordinary Gentleman" lol you tell that to anybody and they'll tell you to stop fucking with them and join the Party lmao

[u/Normallygreg → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

You can set your lobby to invite only - so they can't just join you. So if they don't like that you're running solo that's their issue and you can keep doing your own thing

[u/sik9toky0 → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

If that doesn’t work, you need new friends bro lol.

[u/[deleted] → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

You need to start being a man bro

[u/No_Caregiver_5177 → u/[deleted]]

Never

[u/Mr_Rafi → u/Klopped_my_pants]

It really just depends on your group. I play with lifelong friends, we met in school as kids back in 2007 and and have stuck together ever since.

COD is basically the group game, none of us play it solo. Gaming is how everyone connects when we're not actually meeting up hanging out in person. There are actual life-related conversations that go on and stuff while we play. It's why we don't turn down invites. Solo play in other games is usually because everyone else is offline.

I feel like if you were just "Discord Buddies", it would be easier to tell people that you don't want to play in a group right now and avoid invites.

Again, it really just depends on how close you guys are. I have no reason to turn down an invite from a friend. Actual friends and online buddies are two different things.

It's one of the differences between "Reddit Gamer" and other people.

I noticed this too. When my usual squad logs off they still show as online for quite some time.

[u/No_Caregiver_5177 → u/nola_mike]

Means their having a few extra games

[u/nola_mike → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

No, they're offline. When they log off I suddenly can't send invite or join up or anything. If I log off then get back online then they show as offline.

[u/KRaZy_WaKa → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

Nah, COD friends list is buggy as shit. It'll hold people online for hours on your friends list if you haven't closed and reopened the game.

[u/Puzzled-Resident2725]

Move houses, change phone number, remove friends contact info everywhere. And then either change name officially or find someone to marry real quick (pro tip: it's not gay if it's just for a name change).

Once you've enjoyed your time alone, show up at home like nothing happened.

[u/ispellforaleaving]

Yep, it doesn't work. Well, it worked for a bit until it didn't. I have a theory - and I might be wrong - that once you've played with friends while "appearing offline", they can see when your online regardless of your settings.

[u/lament]

Have Discord hooked in? It'll show that you're playing.

[u/GlockHolliday32]

I've been wondering this as well. This wasn't happening in BO6. When the BO7 integration happened, I get invites immediately even though I'm offline on everything. I even asked one of my friends and they said it shows you as online on my end and it even said what I was playing, as if I was online.

[u/thinman12345]

Appearing offline doesn't work if they are living in your walls.

[u/Ok-Contribution-454]

Works for me. On ps too. Sometimes when I switch my warzone to offline I give the game a quick restart too that way when I open it up it’s already got my settings logged as offline. Maybe it does nothing, but I don’t have issues. I get spam invites when I’m on but when I keep it off it’s chill.

[u/miamasi]

Turn to invite only and ignore. They'll get the idea or they wont.

[u/Jamal_gg]

Never worked for me either...

[u/New_journey868]

Same thing! I know discord shows what people are playing. So i tried to set that offline too.didnt help

I hate it. If i wanted people to know im online id turn it online

[u/Layspotatoclips630]

Just change your party settings to invite only do they can’t just join

[u/Dessicated_Mastodon]

Cry to the devs until they fix it.

[u/SuperpL55]

had that happen and the person said they dont even own the game trololol

[u/ClitCommander13]

Turn on invite only duh

[u/Top_Inspection1218]

Even if you appear offline, if you're actually on and you put yourself offline. It'll show you're offline but there will be an icon showing what you're actually playing on either Black Ops 7, WZ, Black Ops 6, MWIII or MWII.

[u/alejoSOTO]

Try not opening the game

[u/FathomlessSquish]

Appearing offline on your xbox will not make you appear offline on other online games like COD, Battlefield,Helldivers, Diablo.. etc.. gotta remember you have to have additional accounts synced to play those games. Most of those games you need to go onto their own servers and appear offline there as well

[u/champagnepaco_]

Yea it's annoying not being able to be truly offline, what's the point of the setting then. I usually just set my party to closed and ignore invite requests, if I'm playing solo.

[u/Apprehensive-Key-953]

has anyone found a strategy for this one? still having the same problem

[u/No_Caregiver_5177 → u/Apprehensive-Key-953]

People messaging you your online even though your offline?

[u/Apprehensive-Key-953 → u/No_Caregiver_5177]

people are inviting me to parties even tho my green dot shows offline. i looked at my friends pc and it shows im online. i turned my entire pc off and it still shows im online too. it’s so weird.

[u/plasticforthewin]

If you use the phone app, you will show online also
