ParsleyParsnips Appeal (Completed)

Post by ParsleyParsnips » Sat Mar 07, 2020 8:18 pm

Hey mods, New to the whole tracking aspect of achievements however long achievement hunter from xbox days. Couple of games which I have "cheated" (semantics) on in past.

Discord: ParsleyParsnips#0117
Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ParsleyParsnips
Games:
Blackguards 1 + 2 - Saw a guide to unlock all the achievements using the game against itself - opened up a wordpad doc in the %appdata% folder after gaining progress towards achievements. Didn't think this would class as cheating as wasn't using a tool like SAM.

I have relocked these achievements

I appreciate you staff members taking time out of your lives to do this thankless volunteer job by giving me a second chance to play clean and fair - thanks so much!

Hey parsleyparsnips, thanks for creating an appeal about this. You can see the rule regarding file edit here: https://achievementhunting.com/rules#na-3
Thanks for already relocking these achievements as well. Can you go ahead and reopen both games to make sure none of the achievements automatically unlock on startup? If they do, there may be save or cloud data that needs to be deleted, or registry files. Let me know what happens.

Heya - Thanks for the response and sorry for the slow response!!

Just reinstalling the games now (I think I did this game before updating my PC so doubt I have anything on this game anymore but we'll see)

I'll let you know when the game is installed and I've loaded the game

Have checked both games and no achievements are popping :)

Assuming being on main menu should be enough - no save games to load from and achievement menu showing all locked.

Thanks

After looking over your games, it appears that you have used CAQS in both skyrim and skyrim SE, which is not allowed under https://achievementhunting.com/rules#na-12 . We'll need you to relock the achievements gained from using caqs, as well.

Good Morning (just)

I have looked into Skryim OG and SE and located the effected achievements unlocked 14/11/15 (11:06-11:08) for OG and 27/08/17 (11:46) for SE.

If I can see that I have legit unlocked achievements which would've been unlocked had they not been affected by caqs due to having other achievements unlocked -
For example;

Land Baron - But three plots of land (affected)
Master Architect - Build Three houses (legit)

To have built three houses I would've had to buy the three plots of land.

Would I have to still relock Land Baron even tho I would've unlocked it anyway legit? (I know this is semantics but if I can show I have done the task for the cheev then...)

Thank you for your time - I have some other examples as well if need be.

Note- we talked over dms some and he's relocked the necessary achievements in both skyrims in order for them to not be invalidated. Both have been relocked and already checked for anything that automatically unlocks.

Everything should be good now, so if anything pops up as an issue in the future let us know and we'll see what we can do to help. Thanks for going through the appeal process!
