  1. It could work but unsupervised restoration makes it prone to exploitation like restoration service before it got shut down, it got too lax which leads to players abusing it. This might work if the character swiped clean of items upon restoration and item restoration only works through anet's support team so they can check the player's log, transaction, backups to prevent exploits where they see fit. At least thats what i can think of.
  2. Simply put, theres will be a threshold of how many hours the character have been played before starts getting backed up. Pretty sure it'll be a good this since it could be more efficient in terms of file size usage but also might be more difficult to set up, since i'm not a programmer though, i can only assume.
  3. Yeah thats what i meant since days old characters won't be really worth the trouble asking for a restoration since days can be easily replaced by new one. But characters that takes time to build up and ended up deleted thats another story. All i can say different people have different sets of mind, as for me, it takes time for me to realize the mistakes so there you go. I'm not gonna blame anyone for that, i just wanna suggesting to the dev to add back that options for players but with additional measures in place.
  4. I think this isn't bad suggestion. What i guess right now is that they backup a lot players data but idk up to how many year but the build up from so many players just doesn't seems cost effective but can be mitigated if they back up only until certain numbers of years per account so it won't clog up their database. I for one don't mind paying gems for this service.
  5. I believe i don't need to repeat this anymore. Again you don't get what i'm saying, this was an option before but was taken away due to certain people exploiting which what i was saying which a lack in supervision or checking from anets end. I was saying they can provide the service with additional security measure on their end to prevent such abuse and exploitation. Actually they don't, recently i read someone got their characters deleted by their ex iirc and anet denied them of character restoration. Sure they got most of their QoL items back but at what cost? A lot of time lost on the character, levels, crafting profession, birthday gifts that will get reset with new characters, etc. Please stop being ignorant and say i made up random stuff, I'm merely presenting example that already happened. Sure i do need the service but it doesn't mean people don't have issue with these as well. Like i said, we can't expect perfect situation everytime. On your point regarding the shortcut, i was saying it because its not a very known stuff for people. Sure you can tell me here but it doesn't mean everyone who play this game automatically know how. If you don't like options sure, have it your way but for me more options, the better. Sure like this isn't a game at all that we need life lessons. Yet the service was there for 9 years before they took it away because they didn't check the people enough to let exploits happens. Not saying anet is 100% at fault for this, most of this happens because the exploiter ofcourse. And who finally at loss here? Yep, the players who needed the service.
  6. Not sure what you're on about, I never said i'm not wrong on deleting a character. I merely just pointing some possibility of certain situation thats not only about me. Since i saw few other post talking about different issue regarding their deleted character. Not everyone knows every shortcut there is or every function on their pc like you did and i'm not sure where your logic comes from, no one is expecting anyone to touch their pc unattended everytime. Sure you can say that because i already put a specific set of situation but then again thats if they haven't open the game yet, i bet many like i do too, i use autoplay for convinient login then sometimes i just left my pc unattend to do something, kitten happens and no one can expect that. Expecting every person have to be in the perfect situation and expecting everything is just illogical. I don't even know what current version you're talking about, what stand now is no option for players to restore their character without reverting everything [account restoration] which is a one time feat.
  7. Again that was just a suggestion and wasn't meant to be set in stone, ofcourse a tighter restrictions and security measure must be put in place to prevent exploit. As its already been said there Doesn't mean this have to be 100% guaranteed but with the service being there, we at least got more option and chance. This honestly can be made better if players could adds genuine feedback and suggestions instead of just trolling and baiting like most people in the forums.
  8. Not sure where you're going. Asking for a service doesn't equal to abusing unless its done with malicious intent. Sure 2fa helps until a hacker bypass that, there were few cases i've seen on other app that happens with that. And yet what i said isn't something like lending the children the pc nor the account. Theres some instance of say when a parent left their pc for a bit to take a break [which takes pc unattended for longer] but unfortunately left the pc unattended thinking no one would touch the pc, but sometimes kids would just do that whether they want it or not and may or may not accidentally doing something bad to the account. As for your third point, i never said i'm in the wrong but thats what the service for in the first place. I never said its a frequent problem but at least thats one more option to support players who need it. Also for other point, please read what i just wrote in this post. Plus the restoration is never guaranteed in the first place but i'm okay with it because at least there was a chance but its gone now. I never meant this for an abusive use, what i suggest is put more safety measure behind the restoration process. Maybe like what Sunchasser points out, 1 restoration cap permonth, ability for the anet team to run a check to the players that ask for a restoration to prevents exploits from happening. I know some people don't have the same way or mind or attachment to their characters like i do. But i believe there are people that feels what i feels towards this. Its easier for them to judge when they aren't the one who needed it.
  9. Sure that checks one marks but it doesn't mean it'll solve other issues with different problems.
  10. Its a one time feat and theres never a guaranteed accounts can't be hacked over and over again.
  11. They can actually find the specific character given the player can give them the exact name, level and date of their character deletion unless it was at the same day or maybe the same hour [which unlikely] as i restored a character that way before. And yes don't offer the service anymore as @sunchaser.9854 wrote there. [ref. https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010181213-Restoring-a-Deleted-Character] Edit: I also forgot to mention, they didn't offer character restoration anymore since end of last year if i'm not mistaken. Ah for me its really the time spent on the character that makes it worth the trouble since i mostly use shadow abyss dye anyway lol. Also 1 oldest character is still with me, but i spent much more time with the deleted character which now i very much regret not keeping.
  12. Yea hackers are rare but i read about it few times already. Some players have their sole character deleted few years back and didn't know about the birthday things when they finally give GW2 a real chance and missed out a lot on those passed birthday gifts. Myself honestly wish a character can be restored because of the time spent and memories that stays with the character, even though it is my fault for deleting but the option to restore helps me deal with my weird set of mind of alt, since it stress me a lot if i have a lot of characters. Now that i'm trying to cope with it, its saddens me the option is no longer here. So i hope if someone with the same experiences or needed it can get help with the service if it were to return.
  13. I know this topic is quite debatable but the service provided by anet's team for restoring deleted character is needed. Some of us might make some mistake deleting a character, while some getting deleted by hackers, ex or maybe their children while the pc was unattended hence the prove of the service actually needed. But a safety measures should be put in place to make sure the players requesting the service isn't exploiting the situation [at least from what i've read], maybe like make an ability for the support team to temporarily check mail and tp transactions of the account of the person requesting the restoration or to check whether there are indications of exploitable items/patterns of the requested characters. Current policy hurts players who needed the service badly, so i hope the service be returned with additional measures put in place.
  14. Very disappointed with thief shadow arts changes. I thought you would make it useful but instead i have to ditch what survivability left on SA. Barrier heals etc are worthless compared to stealth for thief thats very squishy. Our stealth kit just keep getting nerfed and nerfed. Might as well change the name from shadow arts to defensive arts or something.
  15. I mean, off hand sword or torch is cool too. I just can't see scepter fit thief imo. So either i'll just go hiatus till next expac drop or quit altogether, just had enough waiting for something exciting.
  16. Same here, i'm really hoping its focus instead of other stuff so we can use actual shadow magic which is a cool theme imo
  17. I would suggest starting a different episode then restart “No Quarter” again. Most of the progress you made will still be there and it should be bug free. Only took me like 30 minutes to catch up and then complete “Enter the Bunker”. And that’s much better than (possibly) waiting days for it to be fixed.. I tried it doing HoT content again, then back at drizzlewood its still bugged. I'll try another icebrood saga later i guess. EDIT: Worked perfectly after i try to replay other icebrood saga eps, then pick eps 3 after.
  18. Hopefully this got attention as it's still blocking the progress towards the story.
  19. Yea thats what made me confuse as well, pick refuse but proceed to drop the bomb anyway.
  20. Yep, same issue for me as well. Relogging, cancelling and retaking quest, move to different maps, taking another story quest then retake the no quarter lw again doesn't work.
  21. My last ticket was resolved in 8 days, their response will take sometime i believe with the current situation. I also got another ticket with different issue sitting at 7 days and another just got closed automatically i assume with a day of activity and still no answer.
  22. When was it btw? 1 more week off gw2 for me then. i think summer 2018Ah i see that was quite a while ago then.Anyway i just got my ticket answered just few mins ago.
  23. I guess the pandemic really affect this, usually it takes like 2-3 days for me. Hope our issue will get resolve soon. When was it btw? 1 more week off gw2 for me then.
  24. So questions are considered rant now?I'm not even saying they did their job bad, they do actually solves my problems profesionally few times already and i appreciated it.I said i was just looking for an estimation time from people who got their ticket solved. So i can estimate on how long before i can play again. Yea thats why i just wanna know how it fare now. Before this pandemic things going, i got my tickets solved in 3-4 days usually and i just wanna know the experience from other people who got their ticket solved atm.
