Open up your firewall (Im using just the usual Windows firewall). The user will still see you as online until you do this. Appear offline, hide from your Real-Id Friends 1.

go to the message bar (where you type your messages) and type as if you were to mention someone. it might not be accurate but it’s the best answer i can come up with. I’d probably find it a whole lot ruder for someone trying to hide and respond with silence or passive-aggression when I get in touch with them despite appearing offline. Sometimes, you just don’t want people to bug you whilst you play. Currently (as unfortunate as this is), there is no option to appear offline to friends which are added to the battlenet list. Answer (1 of 25): this is just what i found that works. Seems better than trying to hide with the Offline function and then getting annoyed when people see you are online.
