The “invisible, away, online” status should always be obviously visible and immediately accessible in the interface—both in game and in the character select screen. We shouldn’t have to open the “contacts” window to see/change the status. Please improve this.

It worked like you’re asking in the past, but it was changed to “remember” the last setting you set it for.

It was changed because people wanted to be able to login invisible. I can understand wanting to login invisible.

It’s not a major inconvenience IMO.

back in GW1, you can see your status directly at the character select screen—which was a better design. because you didn’t have to open your contact window to check manually.

That’s incorrect, I’m testing that right now with my alt account that’s also in my bank guild, set it to invisible status and it shows as being completely offline.

One subtle giveaway is that your last logon time is set as soon as you go invisible. When you actually log off, the last logon time is reset again indicating that you were actually online and just logged off. This is hardly invisible to people who know how this works. You can set your status in the character select before selecting Play by typing “Y” or selecting the Contacts icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

I need less clutter on my UI than more. I don’t think it’s too onerous a burden to type one character or click one icon to see online status (which is how it is now).

It still shows your current location, and, as someone mentioned, “last online” is also a big giveaway.

Actions, not words.

And if you are online but invisible, your friends and guildies should know that you currently don’t wish to be bothered. Perhaps “invisible” should be changed to “Do not disturb”.

I use “away” for AFK. I use “invisible” if I’m playing solo or just farming or just want to putter around leisurely and smell the wildflowers. Your usage may differ…

even in gw it was not perfect (!) but much better

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Do_not_disturb

Invisible Mode here in gw2 is only a bad joke since 3 years

btw dont know why you hide your char every time when you play solo, you just farm or just want to putter around leisurely and smell the wildflowers.

here my usage is different indeed. but its your way to play.

most players (-who care about-) are criticize the status quo of the invisible mode since release, cause its not invisible just half-sheer

Maybe it’s the stream of “Can you portal me up to the JP?” or “Can you take me into your home instance?” or “Can you help me with my PS?” or “Come do this event with me” (for the 100th time).

These are messages from guildies. What can you do but hide once in a while just for some peace?
