Yep, just go into your friends tab and click the hide button, and check all those little bubbles. I'm not sure if the slash command still works, but it used to be /hide.
I think there's a "global hide" option under Menu -> Options -> General. I don't use it so I'm not sure exactly where it is.

This is correct. (And yes, the slash command is /hide. You can hide from specific things without using the toggle buttons, e.g. /hidesearch to hide from searches without affecting any other hide option.)|

/hideall is also a shortcut that enables all the hide options at once, hiding you from anyone and everyone. Some can still see you running around in a zone, but if they right click and invite or send a tell they'll just get a message that you're offline (which is obviously a lie at that point, but what can you do...)
Thanks much all!

did they remove /ghide then? or was it replaced with what you guys are talkin bout?

As others have mentioned, the /hide command will pop up a box where you
can select options for it.
Some of my toons have all of them clicked, some have a few clicked, and
ALL of them have at least one of them clicked
It works quite well.You can also set your teaming status to decline invites as well.
Happy Soloing

And 99 times out of 100, if someone mentions they are getting the "you're hidden" message when talking to you when you are NOT hidden, going /hideall then /unhideall will quickly fix that.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Just like to point out that /hide isn't perfect. You can still be pestered by people that see you passing by if they click on your character, or if they see you speaking in one of the chat channels and click on your name.
I've gotten a few angry tells by inconsiderate people angry because not only was I on /hide, I also had my flag set to red "not accepting invites".
One buttmonkey even followed me to the mission I was doing demanding I accept his team invite and threatening to stay at the mission door until I came out.
It was so surreal I told my SGmates and after using my Base TP to leave the mission four of us gathered on the roof of the warehouse across from my mission and watched him standing there for 30 odd minutes laughing at him amongst ourselves. The whole time he kept sending me tells making demands and threats.

but yeah, you can still be seen, and if you're talking in broadcast, or a channel,
you can still be "detected", although that's a bit of a "PEBKAC" if you ask me...
That said, /hide is still pretty effective if you're not feeling particularly sociable.

Sure we could spend our time online stopping every couple of minutes to use /ignore or /ignorespammer, or we could use /hide once and pretty much enjoy the rest of our time free of jerks.

The OP, on the other hand is trying to solve a much simpler issue.
Carry On.

I hide from searches because my answer to a pug invite will always be "no", but that has nothing to do with those people asking to pug being jerks or me not being sociable. It just prevents them from wasting their time and me wasting my time.|

Regardless /hide is one of the most useful slash commands in the game, right alongside /stuck and /ah (imo, of course
)

I've been using /hide as the default for my toons since it went live and I don't seem
to encounter the issue you describe - Go Figure.
I suspect there's a correlation to be found there somewhere, but I'll leave it be...

I think far more people hide when feeing unsociable, not for harassment reasons. |

People getting hassled every couple of minutes is the exception not rule in this game.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Of course I only have the frequency with which I get tells and blind invites while using /hide to go by so my data is incomplete.Quote:

Second what difference does it make that I responded to your post after you responded to mine? That is usually how conversations work here on planet Earth.
Oh and what am I mistaken or being disingenuous about? Do you think I'm mistaken that people have other reasons than sociability for using /hide? Or is it that you don't think I'm sincere in my belief that most people using /hide do so for reasons other than being less sociable?
If it's the former then I'll need more evidence than just your statement before I'll believe otherwise. My opinions are based on nearly 8 years of interacting with the other players in the game. If it's the latter, well, I won't lose any sleep if you doubt my sincerity about why people use /hide.

It doesn't seem too much of a stretch to assume you are someone for whom popularity is an important thing, and that you made the whole story up just to pretend you're some kind of internet celebrity everyone cares about; and yet I bet we won't see a single person popping up in this thread vouching for this supposed reality.
