We're adding a toggle to accomplish this. Its in the works.
Do me a favor. Make sure Jedi can't exploit this to avoid BH.
BHs have droids that will tell them if their mark is online and even where they are. Friends list is not a BH tool...they have droids for that.
Honestly BHs using the friends list is cheap if you ask me...they get to know when their mark is online without using a droid. Jedi (and all players) should be able to be invisible on friends lists....the BHs will have to launch a droid to see if their mark is huntable.

Jedi dont exploit - only BH -
SO we now will have to take mission release droid to check to see if the Jedi it online - great - Make me waste more time on droids....Next you will remove Jedi names from missions so we can not ask them if they are on line...This just gets better and better

Also, due to buffs and armor, you all shouldprobably consider almost doubling the HAMs on most Stormtroopers, Nightsisters, City Guards, NPCs in general, etc. etc.in this game (probablyx1.5 on all NPC HAMs). All NPCs (with a few exceptions) are very easy to kill.
That's the ticket, screw the wookiees.
I love "no edit" option on these designer's posts.... also, I love interruptions when I'm posting.
Please bring back the roleplayer tag. I have a signed petition. Thanks!

Actually, this is a privacy issue that is quite beyond the control of Sony. If you want to be able to KNOW when someone else isusing his computer to access a game, in the privacy of his own home, you're gonna have to change some real life laws....
The inability to shield your actions from observation was a legal flaw that Sony needs to fix.
FYI, all I was saying was make sure droids still work if you give people the option to appear offline.

Hey TH how about taking a walk over to the DE forum and talking to us about our armor issue?
Not sure if this has ever been discussed before...
There are a couple of things I have noticed: no one uses Stimpak A'sbecause they have the same prereq as StimB's and most every PvPer has novice medic.
A while back, the devs said they didn't want everyone to be forced to have the same template to compete in PvP; would this include forcing everyone to have the same novice non-combat profession? In order to keep everyone in PvP from also being a novice medic and give StimAs a reason for existing, should we drop the prereq for using StimA to nothing so that everyone can use them?
I don't know if it is too late in the combat balance development to even consider this as it would give a great many people 15 extra skill points to use (about 1 full branch).
Just a thought.
