Riddickcz Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yea pretty much title says it all. How come I cant add to my friend list characters that are offline? It just keeps telling me that this character doesnt exist. I know that character of that name does exist, just the person is offline. Anyone else frustrated by this?

Huhn Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 yeah it is an annoyance, but a minor one. It is kind of goofy that i can see the offline status of guildmates, but can't add them to my friends list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamiosoup Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 it's a feature, adds to the immersion so what if WoW had it in 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loqe Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think we all are, pretty much. This is a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddickcz Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Im not sayin its huge issue. But this game is MMO you are supposed to interact with players, finding new friends grouping with ppl and making one big community. So these features like adding friends in the friend list should really work. And this is just highly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukae Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's very frustrating. I can't believe it has yet to be fixed. At least it isn't game breaking.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialSun Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 it's a feature, adds to the immersion so what if WoW had it in 2004 You still here? One of those sad wow kids who actually pays to play/troll a game he hates? GG Driz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonlinar Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 So that's why I couldn't add my RL friend. I basically called him a liar when I told him the game said you don't exist. F-you too, Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacalShen Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's an unnecessary annoyance. I'm not about to ragequit over it, but each time it happens, it's a *sigh.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Verja_ Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's just one of those quality of life things that Bioware (for whatever reason) either skimped over or just couldn't be bothered to think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus_Rex Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wow I can't believe this is the case... no wonder I couldn't add my friends too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apax Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's a bug. And I say it's a bug because some of my friends characters I can add to my friends list even when they're offline, and other characters from the same friends I can't. It's inconsistent. So, one way or the other it's bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appletaz Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yah, this is an irritating feature. As long as the character is active, we should be able to add it as a friend to our list. Another sophisticated feature which is not included in the UI by BW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddickcz Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I mean even on facebook I can add ppl who are offline. Its just a common sense, cant believe they could forget about it and I see no reason why to intentionally exclude it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drchocapic Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's hilarious. I just made an alt and I want to add my friends to his friendlist. To do so I have to keep playing on my main until my friends get online to switch character very fast in order to add them to my alt's friendlist before they log off. Seriously.

Camilladilla Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 While we're at it why isn't there an account wide friendslist? I'm a bit of an altholic, but it's starting to get annoying having to readd friends--especially if they're offline at the time--each time I roll a new one.

Shaz Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 This question was asked in the last Q&A. Answer: Damion Schubert: This is a bug - thanks for calling my attention to it (this issue is somewhat sporadic, so it fell through the cracks). We are getting this into the pipe to get fixed, most likely for Game Update 1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you necro'ed a thread over a month only to moan about something that has already been posted as being fixed in 1.2. Yes it is an issue currently but it is being fixed, what has moaning achieved other than bringing the post back to the front page? Broken pencil.
