Sometimes you have to kickstart it again. To do so, open GW1, go to the Eye of the North, talk to the living Kimmes and ask him to perform some changes (I changed from account view to character view and back again), then ask him to open the WWW-site of the HoM-computer and close GW1 again. On the website look at your results. Then open GW2, go to the HoM and talk to the ghostly Kimmes again.

The results of the HoM website have been reset about release of GW2 in August. Going through the procedure should get it up to date again.

You should be happy to have kittens. Other languages are not so blessed.
It’s an international game. So of course there is a lot of stuff that seems to offend in any given language. If you combine it in one filter, you have what we have got here.

When you try to enter the game you will be prompted with a gray window, which shows to contact support in red letters. On this window should be at least a small sentence referring to the reason for the lockout. I have seen such screens on this forum.

Write to support. Whenever there is a problem you cannot solve or where you cannot find hints to solve on the forum, support is the best choice to go on.

That is no reason for a suspension. Usually the small screen gives a hint on the reason for the suspension. If that is not sufficient or not explaining enough for you, you will have to ask support about it.
If it was for a character name, you will be prompted to change it’s name before playing with that character again.

As Anet checked those players I guess they don’t either deserve them or there has been a mistake in the evaluation. I got it. So I know it has been done. If you are not satisfied you will have to write a ticket to support. They cannot solve it on the forum for single applicants.

Yes, some of the special seasons letters from the system have been counted there. But they have not been counted for the special hint. I discovered it, when I was missing some mails and started deleting this special Anet mails.

System mails for hearts or such are NO problem.

I think you can’t put character names up in forum so might have to remove that. I sometimes get stuck in certain parts with endless loadings. I find that if I keep logging in on it, it’ll eventually kick me back out into the previous map.

You can address anybody in game with the display name. So putting up your own character name would not make something more difficult.

About loading screnes I had several very long loading just a few minutes ago. I hope it was only a temporary hickup somewhere on the line to GW2.

The IP from another state might have been your ISP. They are not always local.

If somebody was able to log in to your account, I would change mail and password. I would change the password for the email account too, because it might be possible that the strangers had access to that too. Otherwise they would not have been able to authorise the strange IPs.

Have usernames been hacked?

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

I guess they are fed up with letting their support people working overtime with resurrecting accounts that have been stolen because of recycled passwords. An easy solution is to force anybody to change their passwords at least once.
If people start to recycle their passwords again, the mandatory change might be repeated.

I have unique mail and password and I will have to change it too. (In fact I have done it already.)

Serious customer service problems

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

First, the serial code must have been available at the beginning, because you need it to get registered.

Second, you admit that these numbers are lost. It is, after all, the easiest way to establish the ownership of a legit owner.

Third , after all the news available to everybody about hacked accounts with recycled passwords, it should be clear, that Anet needs to prove the ownership in such cases. YOU would be complaining first, if they should not be careful about it. At the same time it is already known, that hackers claim the legit ownership of accounts to get mails and passwords changed to their liking and to keep the legit owner outside.

Fourth, after having said all this, get back to support, explain your problems and wait for all the alternatives available to claim legit ownership of that account.

Fifth, seeing your rant here, I would suggest to be kind and informative and patient. It may help.

Write a ticket, but don’t bet on it. Usually Anet is not correcting player mistakes. Mostly just because they cannot do it (as far as I have read).

Write a ticket to support. They will tell you the info they need to determine if you are the legitimate owner.

Is our credit card info safe?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

If the account gets hacked, safed credit card info is bad. The bad guys could use it. That’s why they have chosen the ability to delete those info.

Anet has never been victim to data thieves. All data to be lost came from different sources. If you recycle the mail and more important the passwords with several sites, you are running avoidable risks.

I don’t worry about past gem purchases, because I can see them in my log, but I don’t see the details. So I cannot loose something that way and it cannot be used by strangers.

Can't remember my password system broken

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

How are we supposed to even let Support know we need help if we can’t remember our password??? We need our password to create an entirely new Support Account just so you will talk to us! Your “Support System” needs to be simplified for this new password farce.

No, support can be accessed without the game data. Just use an email you wish to use and go ahead. Otherwise people locked out of the game, would not get help at all. Anet NEVER worked that way. Support tickets work with different credentials.

Cannot access Support Account--and sword swap

Support account IS NOT EQUAL to game account. And that is for a reason. Just use another email and you can go forward.

If it would be the same, players who have no access to the game would not be able to call on support.

Not sure where to post this

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

When I maid a google search. I found links for a professional email sender and to information about spam. I checked NONE of this sites, because I have my doubts about it.

In case you have trouble – like me – I suggest you write a ticket to support. They will be able to tell you if it is scam, or serious.

Anyway, it is not a forum bug.

baned for helping freinds?

Michael.4791

I only copied the answer, because neither the ones claiming high numbers, nor the ones claiming small numbers, have ANY prove on their claims. The only reliable source of information are Anet people and everybody will be sure, that those people would like the numbers to be small. Anyway I don’t see much sense in lying to us, so I tend to believe their answers.

Everybody knows that when you swing a hammer, it will not always hit the nails. And of course there are humans involved. There is no way to avoid mistakes – not with humans and not with programs. So I am pleased that there IS a review process in place.

Change my password nothing happens

When I changed my password today, I got a message that it was changed.
Then I logged out and then I came in with the new password. No Problems.

That was my reason to ask you, if you expected anything to happen. I wished to read if any message popped up after refreshing the page after pressing the update-button.
No need to get angry about that. Just trying to help as best a I can.

Issues with the Guild System? Post here!

It’s now 5 months since I started watching and collecting the missing influence points for logging in with characters belonging and representing a guild. Since September 1 until January 31 I have lost exactly 10,950 influence points.
Almost never I earned at least half of the points. On average it is about one third of the points I should get (like yesterday I received 7 from 20).

No patch or update has changed anything. I have received or read no information even on the fact that it is on any to-do-list.
I am still waiting. I am stubborn, so I will continue to wait! (No threat, just the truth!)

I’ll copy another answer for starting my answer:
“there are no facts on which to base such a view” that false positives are not rare.

Friends, who were catched in cheating, won’t be very fast with telling that to their friends. You might think they are straight, but you won’t know for sure.
Life sometimes is very nasty.

Having said that, I’ll play all the way I want without any restrictions, because I know that I stick to the rules. So whenever I’m among those suspended or banned, I’m confident that a review will clear me. I would be sad, angry and distressed, if it would happen, but I think it will work out.

If the IP is “remembered” it will not ask to authenticate it again. So no bug. It is intended. If you make this website to “forget” the remembered IPs (which seems to be possible now) it will ask you again. But then again, if you want to be asked anytime, you should not remember it anymore.

Missing GWAMM title

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

No thats not necessary. But maybe you should visit the HoM there and talk to the Historian in charge of the outside connection. I changed the look from account view to character view and back again. Then I asked to call up the HoM-page again. After that I closed GW1, viewed my character’s achievements in the WWW. After that the achievements should be available in GW2 too.

Just kick start the HoM in GW1 and it should work.

Moving "support" in forum

in Suggestions

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

I would suggest moving the “support” chapter in the forum below the “game discussion”. And within “game discussion” the first subforum should be the “GW2 discussion”.

I often see that many topics are opened in the “support” category and especially into the subforum “account issues” even if they don’t belong there. It seems that people stop at the first point they can and drop all the trash in there. Most of it are questions that should be placed in the discussions.

I guess that people in need of real support would not be affected by this change, because they would search for the right place to put their questions. At least I would do so.
Hopefully it will reduce the work of the Anet people to clean up threads that clearly don’t belong in the subforums where they had been placed.

Authentication Too Strict!

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Michael.4791

Michael.4791

Usually you can say “remember the network” because changing the IP is the norm for most players. Network means the IP range that is known from your ISP. I did so and I only have to authorize a new IP range, if Anet does not know it belongs to my provider.

Permanent IPs are a luxurious item and maybe available for all when IPv6 gets standard.
