    Invisible status for Uplay account while in-game

    Simply put, I'd like to request the option to appear Offline for people in my Friends list without actually being offline, so that I may play a game without notifying anyone in my list. Sometimes I just want to play an online game solo without letting anyone know, and feeling like I need to explain myself to them (or being bugged by them). It's a pretty basic feature all respectable services with a chat already have, so there's no reason why Uplay should not have it.

    I'm aware that there's also an Offline mode for the Uplay CLIENT, however while this mode is indeed successful in hiding me from my acquaintances, it also effectively prevents me from starting up an always-online game.

    Notable examples of this feature include the 'Invisible' chat mode for Steam and 'Appear Offline' for Battle.net. Even Origin has one!

    After trying the Division 2 beta, I'm considering purchasing the game. But knowing that I won't have the basic option to appear offline to friends kinda makes me feel a bit iffy about the thing as a whole. I'm particular about my privacy when playing games in my home, and I would like to have the option to let people know whether I'm doing so: I don't let my friends know whenever I need to go potty, and I shouldn't need to let them know whenever I want to log in a game.

    So tragic how this isn't a thing for Uplay, being the only games platform I'm aware of that doesn't have this feature yet. It's mind boggling!

    Bumping this because this NEEDS to be a feature. Please allow us to go invisible for Uplay.

    This needs to be a feature or the Division 2 is the last game I buy on the Ubisoft platform. It's a deal breaker for me. I want to play solo while offline and not having to spend forever responding to people as such.

    If they don't add invisible, Division 2 as much as I am really enjoying it will be the last game I buy that integrates online with the Ubisoft Launcher.

    This is a must and the #1 reason I try as hard as I can not to purchase games through this client. It is an absolute must have for me.
