Noz Appeal (Complete)

Post by Noz » Thu Oct 24, 2019 3:02 am

Discord: Noz#8276
Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198047322137
Games:
  • Time Clickers
100% cheated
  • Clicker Heroes
100% cheated
  • Team Fortress 2
All Team Fortress 2 achievements from 2011 are cheated, the rest were earned normally
  • The Stanley Parable
Only 2 achievements from The Stanley Parable are cheated which are Commitment and Go Outside, the rest were earned normally

The Just Cause 3 achievements were earned normally, during my time unlocking the achievements my residence was having internet issues which is why some achievements were unlocked at the same time

Thanks for taking time to review this

Hey Noz, thanks for creating an appeal about this. Apologies for the short delay on getting back to you about this.

-For time clickers and clicker heroes, you told me you used another's save file to unlock the achievements. Just for clarity, here is the rule about that: <https://achievementhunting.com/rules#na-2> . Luckily, these two games are easy to fix. In the FAQ, there is a link to a program called SAR that you can relock the achievements with. To be safe, delete the game saves, and then relock the achievements and reset the statistics in SAR.

-For TF2, this game is tricky. In order to properly relock the achievements, you will need to reset the in game statistics completely (there is an option in one of the game's menus). Since not every achievement is cheated from the server, you have some legitimately earned achievements. It will take some time, but you will need to go through the achievements individually to figure out which ones were cheated, and relock them. The faster route is relocking the entire game. If you would rather not take the time to relock this game, that is perfectly fine. There are about 238 achievements that were cheated from that server you would have to individually relock.

-For Stanley Parable, you also do not have to relock these achievements if you do not want to. If you do, go ahead and relock Commitment and Go Outside, as well as reset the statistics in game. Let me know if that does not work, it does not always seem to for some reasons.

Just cause 3 is fine. Let me know if i need to explain more clearly or if you need help with anything!

Go ahead and reopen each game to check for any achievements that automatically unlock. Let me know if any do in each game. Some files may need to be deleted if they do.

The games didn't unlock any achievements when I started them so I think it's all good now

Thanks for relocking tf2 and stanley parable, those two always seem to cause issues when trying to relock them so it's nice to see it went well on your end.

However, it appears that both time clickers and clicker heroes still have a cluster or two of achievements with the same time stamps that normally would not be possible. Did you not relock all of them?

I have been playing clicker heroes and time clickers legitimately after I relocked them, I see that the clicking achievements in time clicker were unlocked really quickly but that's because of a fast autoclicker I use

The problem with playing a game you are appealing for, during an appeal, without updating your trackers, is that it appears that you still have cheated achievements. In clicker heroes, you still have 2 clusters from 2018 , and then the timestamps return to normal. You can use either SteamHunters or completionist.me to search for the timestamps i am talking about, which are 2018-06-30 12:08:11 and 2018-06-30 12:09:41.

Time Clickers has the same issue, at 2015-08-29 11:24:50 , 2015-08-29 11:24:51 , 2018-06-30 11:48:16 , and 2018-06-30 11:48:17 . It does not appear that these rather large clusters have been relocked.

After taking another look, i believe the issue is just that completionist.me is not seeing the correct time stamps because you played the games after relocking them, without updating the tracker. Looking at your steamhunters profile, it appears the timestamps are actually correct. Until now i had not even thought about crosschecking the trackers, so my apologies. I think you should be good to go now, so let me check over one last time to make sure, and i'll mark this as complete and get you relisted on the SH leaderboards as well. Thanks for your patience with the process!
