Is this a bug or...?

Hey @Kilix, we’ve moved your topic to the appropriate section, where we make note of this feature in the latest patch notes:

@Ignasi

With this patch we will also enable on official servers a feature introduced with the December update which limits the visibility of players in the player list. By default, players will be listed as invisible unless they choose to participate in chat. At that moment, they will be visible in the player list for the next 5 minutes.
