Can I play Blizzard games without my friends knowing I'm online? [duplicate]

Sometimes I want to play games without other people bugging me. In the Steam client it possible to appear offline to your friends while playing. Does the Blizzard game client offer this same functionality?

If not, is it possible to just hide the fact that I am in a game from my status?

Solution 1:

It's not implemented yet, apparently Blizzard has plans to implement it "soon", which is likely to be sometime between now and the end of times (i.e Soon ™). Especially since this post is already over three years old.

I"ve also been wishing for this simple functionality for years...
