Invisible/appear offline = necessity
I fully agree. Lack of the option makes me hesitant to play. I have a great group of friends I game with, all very enjoyable people to chill with & all very helpful.
Basically, my friends are such great people that I need a way to hide from them. Lol.
I recently started Division 2, as they'd been playing it for a while now. I like to solo the early stages of a game, or at least learn along with someone else. This way I can learn every aspect of the gameplay & familiarize myself with the options, character skills, & general methods of interaction with the game itself, while enjoying the story line/lore portion of things. I don't enjoy feeling like I'm holding anyone else back from their own style of gameplay.
My friends are more than willing to wait while I look over things & take in the lore, but still it stifles my learning the other aspects/details of the game.
There is also the occasion I just wanna chill alone and play for a bit without the commitments and volumes that come with a group. I sometimes like to fully immerse into a game for a bit, but it's hard to do unless alone, & I don't enjoy giving the impression I don't want someone around, unless there's good reason. I'm not one to ignore people I like or care about, so lack of the option creates an unnecessary tension that I'd like to avoid entirely.
