Technical Breakdown
Destiny’s online status indicator operates on a server-client model. Players' connections to Bungie’s servers establish presence data, which is relayed to other players in real-time. This data includes the user’s current platform, activity status, and online/offline indicator.
Performance Insights
Modifying presence data to appear offline requires manipulating this server-client communication. One potential approach involves intercepting and modifying the packets sent from the client to the server. However, this can be challenging as Bungie employs anti-cheat measures to detect and prevent such manipulations. Additionally, the use of third-party software or unauthorized modifications may result in account bans or other penalties.
