Sadly, that information is not in the Knowledge Base. It only refers to Toys. Perhaps, it could be updated, and save a lot of distress. =)

Although, it is clearly stated in the Patch Notes. =)

Well, there ya go! I didn’t know that. Hmmmm… I hope we will be able to expand the KB article to include more detailed information. I’ll send an e-mail about that now and see what we can do! (Thanks for pointing that out, Ic.)

CAUTION: Heartbleed bug scams expected

Thanks, Brother Grimm. It’s important to keep in mind that if you get an e-mail from us — or allegedly from us — we’re happy to answer questions about it. Remember, too, that aside from contact initiated by you (like authentication authorization, e-mail change, etc.) we will not ask you to click a link to “verify your account” or “check your status” or do any of the other things that would-be phishers want you to do to gain access to your account.

I got an e-mail today from a social media site. They said they were not affected by the Heartbleed bug, but that they wanted me to change my password anyway by clicking the live link they provided. There is no way in The Underworld I am going to click their link, even if they foolishly did send me that e-mail. I will go to their site and change my password on my own, NOT through a provided link that may or may not have come from that site.

And that’s what Guild Wars 2 players should do. If you need any assistance, you generate a ticket for us to respond to, and we will help you, based on that contact. That way you’re not getting weird, maybe-nefarious “Hey, here’s how to secure your account” mails with live links that lead to Grenth-knows-where!

We know that the huge, mega-big, amazing April 15th Build has raised a few questions here and there. Just to point out, our Knowledge Base articles may answer this sort of question. Just click Support above and put in a few key words to get to those articles.

Constant Authorize log-in attempt?

It is correct that with time your account will recognize the IPs and not require authorization. But really, I’d rather authorize every single time than run the risk that someone is getting access who should not — and I seem to be required to do that “every single time” authorization, actually -- so I’m looking on the bright side about authentication!

I agree that a check would be good before the order is processed. (I guess I wasn’t aware that you could process more than your account can accommodate!) Can you make that suggestion in the Black Lion Trading Post forum? That will be more likely to catch the eye of a dev.

Thanks.

Yes, that is the case, Ic, but even more importantly, you cannot log in using a display name. The info you provided is helpful, but the critical thing is the name issue, which I am pursuing yet again to try to address on our side with an interface change.

Transmutation crystals - refund denied

I’m sorry you’re unhappy, but Lilith’s response is correct. The crystals are charges and you can use the charges for the precise reason that you made the initial purchase. You’re welcome to continue to discuss within your support ticket, but I do understand why you received the response that you received and the forums is not the place to debate decisions of this nature. A debate seems to case here because you’ve not even included the ticket number in your post but simply outlined your position against the decision that was rendered in your case.

I do want to assure you that our CS Agents read your requests with care, not simply the first sentence. Humans can make errors, but I don’t see that as being the case here. However, as I said, you can discuss in your ticket.

Thanks for understanding.

Ah, I think I see the issue. Your account name is your e-mail address and not your Display Name, which I see placed in that form. I believe if you just input your e-mail address, things will progress just fine.

I once had this issue, but if you create a shortcut of gw2.exe and add -/clientport 80 after the “…” to the destination, then you should be able to login. it should look like this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -/clientport 80

This happened to me and I just want to quickly high jack this thread to commend ANet on how quickly it was sorted.

I bought 800 gems accidentally twice and emailed their support team immediately. Within 2 hours the extra 800 gems were withdrawn from my account and I was refunded.

Thanks for posting that, JayMack. I know it helps other players to know that these issues are dealt with as swiftly as possible!

Thanks for posting that, DfL! So often the connection problems that someone have are regional in orientation. For instance, an ISP has problems or there’s a major issue with an Internet backbone. So it’s good of you to let Lydell know about this!

Change forum/in-game display name?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Gaile Gray

Previous

Gaile Gray

ArenaNet Communications Manager

Next

I do not foresee that we will set up a system for display name changes for the very reasons suggested above: Having a display name that remains constant (save those that present a security issue or breach the Naming Policy) is a way for players to not “dodge their own reputations” after bad behavior. For instance, we don’t allow “naming and shaming” on the forums for people who scam other players, but there are ways that players let others know what happened. If BadScammer.1234 gets to change to NicePlayer.9876, his or her reputation can essentially be wiped clean, and that’s not good for players watching out for particular issues or specific individuals within the game.

Display Name changes may come along — I cannot answer definitively — but I can state that if they ever are offered, they will be restricted and handled with care.

TL;dr: There’s a reason that there is “red tape” and for the vast majority of requests, and that red tape prevents a nefarious individual from doing a “reputation reset” and reduces the calls on Customer Support so that they can focus on genuine issues.

You will get an response as soon as an agent is able to review the matter and make a determination about how to best resolve it. I’m sorry if there is a delay, and I do wonder if you are perhaps having e-mail issues that prevent your receipt of our responses.

As AP said, it can take — I’ll admit it — several days to get this sorted. But the good news is that not only are we reviewing your account, re-enabling access, helping with security (when possible), and restoring it, we’re also nabbing the #%&@# person who hacked the account.

So if it takes a bit of time, we thank you for your patience and you understanding that we’re making things right in the world on oh, so may levels.

Thanks for these updates. Yes, it’s important to know: Your GW2 Account Name is your e-mail address and not your Display Name (the name visible here on the forums.

If you still are having problems, I will repeat my suggestion that you post in the Technical Support Forum, as they will have various means to identify the problem.

Thank you for your patience!

I think we’ve discussed this and the majority seem to agree that the system works just fine, it’s just that each player needs to move with care in the deletion process.

Ralph and Magi — those aren’t from us. You can tell because they ask you to “validate” your account or “dispute the charges” or some other fake way of getting you to input your credentials. We will never send you something and ask for your credentials — we don’t need them to help players, and asking for a password or serial code when they are generating the message is just a huge red flag to phishing. (If we ask you to provide a serial code, it’s because you are initiating the conversation and we need to establish you own the account. You won’t get something out of the blue from us that asks for personal info like that!)

Please submit a ticket by clicking “Support” at the top of this page and then clicking the “Submit a request” option. (Ralph — you do not need to provide your serial code.) Provide as much information as possible in the web form, because that will create a ticket within the support system. Again, you are not required to provide all the information but may leave fields blank when you cannot accurately complete them. The team should be able to help you.

If you later need to update your ticket, simply reply to the e-mail associated with the ticket (with the 6-digit ticket number in the subject line) and provide any new information you wish to have added to your ticket.

Oh gosh, I’m sorry this is happening to you! I suggest you submit a ticket by clicking “Support” at the top of this page and then clicking the “Submit a request” option. An agent should be able to look at your account and see what’s going on — it’s quite puzzling.

^ seriously? I still haven’t heard back from customer support at all, but I’ve just logged in on GW and my gems have come through. I’m very happy, although I think these issues should be solved with more “care” from the support team (Excluding the lovely Gaile) next time. This is concerning actual money :/

Well, now, that’s sort of what I said might happen, right? I said you’d find that you (1) were not charged or (2) were charged and the gems would arrive, given a bit of time. So I’m happy to hear that you got what you wanted without having to reprocess another order, but sorry if you didn’t hear from a CS agent.

I can ask if the team is answering such tickets or simply verifying (by review of the ticket-submitter’s account) “Oh, the gems did arrive, that’s a closed subject.” I think I’d prefer that we did update the ticket, if only to say “I checked and you received your gems. Thanks!” but I’ll ask what standard practice is.

I received feedback about my ticket i submitted about all this now they’re trying to basically say i didn’t make any gem purchases yet i have an order number etc and still have been billed for this? been 24hours now seems ridiculously long considering i have order #’s etc to prove this has gone through….

xJord — I feel that Harley and Lindsay gave you some really good information. There is no way in the world we would want to charge you for gems you did not receive! So if, unlike Harley’s situation, you did not eventually receive gems that you are certain you paid for, that is, if the purchase is still active (fully transacted and not merely a “hold” on the price, which can be removed), then you will want to submit a ticket so we can get you the help you need.

Thank you for quoting that text, AP. And yes, it applies in this case. We are absolutely unable to merge accounts, under any circumstances, for any reason. It’s not that we will not do it, but truly that we cannot do it.

bad gem card code

I don’t think I understand how this is a “bad gem card code.” If the code on your card did not work, kindly contact the supplier and work with them on getting a replacement.

If you mean you ran up phone charges, I don’t believe there is anything Game Stop can do about that, and I am certain that we could not assist with that.

Sold my berserk ascended dagger!

Title says most of it. I don’t know when I sold the dagger to the vendor, but is there any way to get it back? I spent a lot of time and gold to craft it. I don’t get to play much these days, so i don’t know when I will be able to craft a replacement.

Situations vary and usually items that are deleted are not replaceable, because the game already has preventative measures in place to reduce the chance of this happening. You may submit a ticket to Support to inquire about your situation by clicking “Support” at the top of this page and then clicking the “Submit a request” option. Provide as much information as possible in the web form, because that will create a ticket within the support system.

Crafted wrong set of Ascended Armor

Ticket # 499678

So last weekend I went to craft my new set of Ahamid’s Heavy Armor (Power/Toughness/Vitality). It was reset weekend and I had been up all night in EBG and was just going to craft my new armor set before going to sleep. Anyway I was pretty zombie-like and manged to craft an entire set of Zojja’s (power/precision/crit damage) Heavy Armor by mistake. This was a huge mistake and I can’t even use the armor set I’ve crafted since my two heavy classes (War + Guard) already have full sets of Zojja’s Armor.

Naturally I submitted a ticket, and got a prompt response from GM Enigma. Enigma said they don’t normally refund lost items but asked for some extra information so s/he could look into making an exception in this case. I readily supplied the information, but it was not GM Enigma who responded to my updated ticket. GM Khal responded with an almost form-like answer that it is against policy to refund lost items and that s/he was closing my ticket. I requested that GM Enigma take another look at the ticket since s/he had seemed very willing to help before, and I also asked if it would be possible to roll back my account completely to its state before I crafted the armor set. GM Khal politely, but sternly, responded that the the issue was closed and requested that I do not update my ticket again.

Gaile could you please take a look at this ticket! An ascended set takes literally weeks to assemble and it’s going to be extraordinarily painful for me to just have the set sitting in storage in the hopes that one day a new heavy class is introduced =(

You submitted a ticket, which is good. And you were sent a detailed and specific answer, accurate according to the policies and processes that guide the team. (One agent asked you for more information but at no time indicated you were eligible for a replacement, and indeed that would not be the case in this situation.)

I’m sorry that you’re disappointed, but I understand why the decision was made.

General comment: I’d like to remind folks that posting an individual forum thread about a ticket generally isn’t appropriate. We have a means to follow up! For those tickets that truly need a review, please post in the Tickets for Review sticky thread after at least three days have elapsed and you have received a final answer from the Customer Support Team.

I really don’t know what we can do, aside from the warning we already give, and (I believe) requiring that you input the character name a second time as confirmation that “Yes, I really want to do this.”

I’m pondering the next step: “Are you really really sure? Please signify by [insert some action here.” At some point, after giving warning and making it clear what is involved in the deletion of a character, we need to allow that process to happen. Putting too many hurdles to accomplishing a desired function can make the process irritating and non-user-friendly, after all.

I do want to say that I am sorry that you deleted in error and lost items.

SirD — you deleted the first post, so I’m not sure exactly what it is I could share with our IT Team in trying to get the “blocked e-mail” issue addressed.

Shall I consider this a “never mind?” Or is there some number of details I should pass along?
