Players not showing as on in guild roster?

Some players are not showing as being on in the guild roster since the update. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. Same with my guild

Some are not even showing up online since the update.

It appears anyone who has marked themselves as 'Offline' on xbox will no longer show on the guild pages. This is an absolute nightmare for guild organisation and management of events. It was just introduced this update and OMG it's going to cause us so many problems

If this indeed did get changed in the last update... Good!
Used to annoy me no end that even when I'd set my xbox to show offline that you still showed up in guild, some times you just want to be left alone to do your own thing.

Then they should have a 'set status' option in NW itself.

Whilst on the subject, the Guild roster also needs a column showing how long a player has been inactive. If someone hasn't been on for a month that's kinda hard to spot in a roster of several hundred (including alts), making it almost impossible for guild leadership to kick inactives.

Yes, I agree, some feature is seriously needed here to track activity and contribution level.

Some ways I've tried myself:
1) daily checking coffer log and updating officer records with it. very slow, though valuable..
2) keeping track of the character's level. only works for low level players.
3) keeping track of the character's IL. you have to be in the same instance as the player to see it, plus it almost does not change for end gamers.
4) keeping track of who you see in game. only works if your guild plays at the same time or you need a few helpers.
5) using Xbox member profile view which shows when was one last active and what was one playing... that's somewhat helpful but I feel a bit weird myself invading other people's privacy this way.

So you are right, it's difficult to track inactive players. Though finding active and enthusiastic players for your guild is not an easy task either.

Another bug I've noticed since the last update is that switching between Officer Comments/Member Comments/Location in the Guild Roaster view sometimes stops working. I had it happen to me when trying to see the location of my guild mates on one of my lower rank alts but after that happened it stopped working for all my alts till the next day/game restart.

From my understanding...if you are invisible on xbox...you are invisible in game guild.

Yes, privacy. We used to have this thing called privacy. It went somewhere and people forgot it existed. Now it's back and people are unfamiliar with it, but they'll learn

Privacy is great and all but if this affects you, you are part of a guild and you generally joined a guild for a reason. Not a very good reason if no one can see you online. I am Guild Leader of a fairly large guild. I'm all for this change to protect privacy but there needs to be a toggle in the options. Plenty of people in my guild are offline on xbox for a reason but dont want to show offline in game as well - they have no option to enable this so have to look at changing their xbox privacy to accommodate.
