Global hide function

[Black Gryphon]

Like Global Ignore, but self-imposed, for those days when you just can't be arsed to deal with people.

We already have that.

Im sure someone will tel you how to access, because I’m drawing a blank right now.

/hide in the chat box should bring up a window with a list of all the things you can hide from. I think the only thing you can't hide from is running into people in the city zones. For that, perhaps try playing on Torchbearer or Indomitable?

Yes. I've seen that one, although I've accessed it through the Global Friends list. It appears to be restricted to the character signed in, as opposed to the entire account. Thanks, though.

Are there slash commands for the hide features so that you can activate specific things or everything at once without having to pull up the hide box and check off what you want to hide from? Would be nice to have Hide and Unhide macros where as soon as I log in I can click and immediately be hidden.

Yep.  It's called "Praetoria" and it works pretty well.

it’s just /ghide i believe

 

it brings up a window which lets you tick hide from pretty much everything

 

has been a while since i used it, but the above should work

There's /hide. 
And there's /ghide, which is /globalhide. 

Admittedly, my issue is always forgetting I'm hidden, so I tend to just not hide.

I just now checked this out, using my main account and my farmer on a second account. These accounts are global friends.

Signed in a character on my main account, typed /ghide and was presented with the same hide options window that appears when accessed through the friends menu. Selected hiding from global friends and, as expected, was showing as not online on my farmer account global friends list. Signed that character out and came back in with a different character from my main account.
The newly signed in character showed as online on my farmer account global friends list.

My suggestion is that I would like to not have to globally hide characters on the same account individually, but hide all of them using a single function. I do see now how that wasn't made clear in my original post.

My experience with it is different...but maybe I'm mistaken. It's been 3 years or so since I last globally hid. Or maybe the function changed? My apologies. 

[Black Gryphon]

Addendum: Suspecting that my main account was ::ahem:: "too large" to /ghide as described, I made a third account with two new characters; inviting it as global friend and then using /ghide on one of the new characters.

Yes, /ghide did, indeed, globally hide both characters on the account with a single command, but failed when the account attempting to be hidden is larger than some unknown limit.

Thanks to all for your help.
