Kethus Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 ...while you can still chat with friends? Seems like if I block someone I still appear online to them so they will know if I don't get their messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvang Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 There is no way to appear offline without actually being offline to all friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kthal Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Umm... Not adding your boss/parent on Steam would probably be the best bet... I would suggest if you are really trying to be sneaky, use an alternative communication system, and try out the non-steam WF launcher, although that is only a partial fix...

You can still see if someone is online or offline even if they aren't on your friends list, and using the non-steam launcher doesn't let him chat with steam friends while ingame.

Jag272 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Technically, not that I'm aware of. With a little deception, perhaps. If you use the non-steam launcher to play the game, keep your phone logged into steam at all times and set to online then you could safely open it wherever else and the status is "disguised" since you're always online anyway. Since you're not using the steam launcher it wont list you as in Warframe, just online same as the phone while still letting you talk on steam. Potential issue is Steam's mobile indicator, not sure if PC takes priority over display or just whichever logs on first. Not aware of any official method, as you said blocking someone on steam does not display you as offline unfortunately, seems a bit backwards to me.

Evers Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Why would you add your boss on Steam and more important why would you have to hide from him that you are online and playing (unless ofcourse you have to work this day an choose to stay home to play and gave him some lame excuse which i hope is not the case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated in the original post, he blocked but they can still see him online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
