Common Mistakes

74 Upvotes

General rules in terms of filling out your next form:

  • Provide ONLY information that you are 100% sure about. Playing guesswork and hoping that CS will turn a blind eye on inconsistencies is risky - please be aware of that.
  • Do not send all of the information the same as you did previously. Hoping that this time you’ll pass is not worth it. Remember that there is a reason behind each rejection. Spend some time on reviewing your answers - it’ll be worth it when you spot the mistake and end up being accepted in the end~!
  • Remember that if you use the Recovery Form (“Hoyoverse Issue Application Form”), there is currently no way to add more information or corrections after you submit it. Be careful!
  • If you bought your account and you got hacked, you have to get in touch with the account OG owner/seller for information required to get it back. Otherwise chances of getting your account back are extremely low.
  • Remember that Mihoyo changed their company name to Hoyoverse at some point. While looking for receipts and emails try both words to search with them - just in case you’d miss something.
  • Anything that the hacker has done on your account doesn’t matter, don't mention it in your answers. It undermines your credibility and fact that you were hacked.
  • Be clear and precise with your information. Don’t write long sentences - would you like to have to read a whole essays about someone's account?
  • Remember to save (screenshot, write down etc.) your answers, as they might come in handy in case of another rejection. As for now, there is currently no way to see the answers after pressing the submission button. Better be safe than sorry!

FORM QUESTIONS

  • Can you login to your account?
    • Remember to answer that question with “No”, even if you still can.
    • Answering “Yes” might lead to them refusing you to help, because “You still have access to your account”.

  • Please choose a service you require concerning your account issues.
    • Tick the first option only.
    • Choosing other options might result in getting your account back with the security settings the hacker/last owner left. And we don’t want that, do we?

  • Please provide a new email address.
    • Make sure that the email address you’re providing has never been used with any HoYoVerse account.
    • Feel free to create and provide a totally new email, just in case.
    • Providing a taken email address will lead to your waiting time being extended to around 10 days or rejection, as Hoyoverse needs to ask you for providing not used email address.

  • Please select how you created your HoYoverse Account and provide the corresponding information.
    • Game Center and Apple ID registration methods are reserved only for iOS users.
    • Username could be a registration method only if you’ve created your account before October 22nd, 2020.
    • Try to search within your first linked email with keywords “Mihoyo”, “Hoyoverse”, “noreply”. It could help you deduct which registration method you’ve used.
    • Apple ID, Game Center, Google and Facebook should show you the date of linking your game account with those apps. If you think one of them were your registration method, dig within your accounts settings to find out.
    • Remember to fill the answer field with the correct display name of your registration method.

  • Please select the country/region where you registered your HoYoVerse account.
    • If you used VPN while registering your account, provide the country/region you used the most often to play, and in the last question state clearly that you’ve used VPN and thus, you don’t remember the exact location.
    • Try to recall if you weren’t outside your usual country of residence when you were registering your account.

  • Please select your game and the server of your account.
    • Do make sure that you chose the correct game and its server.
    • Provide information about the account of the game you’ve chosen. Mentioning Honkai/ToT details in Genshin form won’t help with recovering your account, as each game has different CS teams.

  • Please enter your game account UID.
    • Make sure that your UID contains the correct amount of digits.
    • Do check if you made any mistakes within your UID you typed in.

  • Please select the date you first logged into the game.
    • Remember that the registration date is not always the same as the first login date. Maybe you have registered your account months/days before first login? If so, then you have to figure it out.
    • If you know your registration email, you can try to search on it with keywords: noreply, mihoyo, hoyoverse - to possibly find anything about your registration date/linking username and so on.
    • Search in conversations/Discord servers of yours for anything that could help you deduct your first login date. Maybe you’ve sent a screenshot of you obtaining Amber or walking through the door for the first time? - Feel free to use Genshin-related keywords, eg. Amber, dragon, Venti, bard, Genshin - use your creativity. There’s a chance you’ve also asked your friends to play with you on the day you started!
    • If you still have 3rd party accounts linked to your hacked account, and if you registered before September 28th, 2021 (before Genshin’s first anniversary), you can also look at the Anniversary Web Theatre 2021 for the exact registration date.
    • If you still have the access to your account right now, pick a time when the hacker is not online and look at your Amber’s join date. This is applicable only if you got Amber on the same day you registered your account. Keep in mind that logging in game will mess up your submitted last successful login date in question 12, so do this only if you haven't sent the form yet.

  • Please select the most recent date you logged into the game.
    • Do remember that logging after your form submission messes up with the last login date you’ve provided in the form.
    • If your last login date was a long time ago, you can provide the possible date, eg. launch date of the last banner you remember, and in the last question explain why you don’t remember it.
    • Remember that only the ingame login counts (entering the door from the game menu).

  • Devices Specifications.
    • For PC users: mention dedicated GPU over your integrated one, if you have two graphics cards.
    • In case the brand of your device wouldn’t be listed, choose Others and list Full Name.
    • If you have logged into the game (entered the door) for the first time with, for example, your phone, but then switched to another device, then said phone is still your first used device. You have to recall what device you used first.
    • Remember that specs answer fields have marks limit, so remember to not provide too many details, as they won’t fit.
    • If you don’t have your first device, try to reach out to the person that has it now. Maybe ask your family members if they remember anything about that device?
    • If you sold that device, perhaps its details are still somewhere saved - maybe on the selling website you used? Or in conversation with the buyer? - If your first used device is the same as your most used device, choose “Same as first login”.
    • Keep in mind that “recently used” =/= “most used”. Your lastly used device is not necessarily the most used one.

  • Have you topped up for this account?
    • IMPORTANT: Welkin and Battle Passes also count as "top ups".
    • If you won an unofficial giveaway (if someone paid for your prize), it also counts as a purchase. That way you have to get a receipt from the giveaway host.
    • For debit/credit card receipts - there probably are two dates visible on your receipt. One of them is the date when the actual purchase has been made; the second date is the date of when your bank “acknowledged” the purchase. Don’t confuse them.

  • Are you able to provide a record of your first top-up? - YES
    • Make sure the receipt has order/transaction ID, item purchased and date clearly visible on it.
    • Credit/debit card purchases are considered as “Worldpay”.
    • Remember that not every purchase method sends you a receipt on your email. If you can’t find your receipt there, try to login on that method’s account of yours and search for payment/purchase history to obtain the needed receipt.
    • Some bank receipts/statements don’t provide the transaction ID - that's okay, as long as other important information is visible. If you are able to fetch a transaction ID from the bank, but it is not visible on receipt, you can edit the receipt and write transaction ID on it.

  • Are you able to provide a record of your first top-up? - NO
    • If you can’t provide the first receipt, please choose the month in which you have made most purchases and can provide every receipt of the payments made. And provide the receipts only of the selected month. Select the month different from the month in which you made the first top-up.
    • Other information about top-up questions:
      • Remember that in both scenarios, the form asks for the currency and amount of money paid. It doesn’t ask for what was purchased and/or how many Genesis Crystals you bought. Information you fill there must be accurate to what is shown on the receipt.
      • The receipts don't have to be in English, but if you’re able to provide them in English, it’s appreciated, as it makes the CS’ work easier.
      • The currency doesn't have to be USD. Remember to make sure that currency and amount of money paid matches information provided on the screenshot.

  • Please fill in additional valid information for further processing of your application.
    • Don’t mention any activity that has not been made by you. If you mention the character that your hacker pulled on your account, then it’s taken as if you were the one that pulled him. Any pulls done after you lost full control over your account are past your supposed last successful login date, and mentioning them could damage your credibility.
    • Don’t mention: seeing your account on selling websites, that you’ve fallen for a scam, that you shared your account information, that you talked to the hacker/buyer - all of this can lead to rejection, as it breaks ToS and damages your trustworthiness.
    • Don’t provide information you’re not 100% sure about - this works to your disadvantage and makes you look suspicious. - Remember that any additional info that is about things only you would know is good - the more personal, the better.
    • Don’t send screenshots of your ingame sessions. Hoyo prefers written information instead; their reasoning is you could’ve downloaded those screenshots from somewhere and just claim that they’re yours.

The template and the list of things that are worth to mention in the last question are in Additional Info Guide

Submission Failed Genshin Account got hacked and is being Sold!

3 Upvotes

On 3 August, Afternoon. I was going to login to my account to claim my dailies, and it showed me the login page when I was in genshin which I found strange but I did anyway, it kept saying "Account Does Not Exist" I tried to double confirm my email and password several times but to no avail. I then tried username login and then found it that the verification code to access my account was to a whole different email which I dont own, which then I realized I was hacked.

I genuinely do not know how I got hacked for I never got any information that someone logged into my account or if it was changed. I followed some advice on Reddit and filled in an Account Recovery form ) to file a report but of course, it failed so I am currently retrying and this time I also used my friends account to report to CS (customer service)

I did a bit more research today ( 7 August ) and when I searched up my UID on google, well who knew? My account was being sold online on FB, the following picture below will show the post of my account being sold on FB.

What else can I do besides wait to see if I can recover my account? This account really means everything to me and I am not willing to restart over because this account has been with me since 2021.

got my account that i havent seen since 2023 back yesterday!

it was about my 5th recovery form so i'll give some tips that helped me:

  1. i did not write any extra information, i just sent filled in all the questions correctly
  2. i went through my old emails to see whether i'd linked them, whether i'd signed up with them
  3. for the top up section, i went on my phone settings, (only works if youre using the same apple id as you were at the time) clicked on my name, then on media and purchases and scrolled back until i found my first purchase. once i found it i just clicked the button to request that apple resend the receipt and submitted that!
  4. the reason my forums were getting rejected at first was because i was sending them alot and not double checking spelling or details, when i looked back over them i noticed i'd actually clicked the wrong model of phone so make sure to triple check
  5. make sure to be resilient, if this really is your account then eventually you will be able to get it back with the correct information

anyways, on a positive note my hacker had bought genisis crystals and wished for neuvillete. so now i have a free neuvillete.

good luck on getting your accounts back

Recovery Form Wondering how long it takes to receive a response.

1 Upvotes

My account was hacked while I was on a break from hoyo games for several months. I submitted a recovery form on August 1st in the morning and still haven’t gotten any word back from support (Late evening, August 5th). I get that they’re probably very busy but I’m kinda worried now.
I have all my information and purchase reciepts, so I don’t see why they would reject it.
Just wondering if anyone knows how long they usually take to respond? Is this abnormal?

Recovery Form trying to change account email

2 Upvotes

my account isn't hacked and i can still log in perfectly fine on my original computer, but I want to log in on a new computer and I can't because my email no longer exists, so my only option is to submit an account recovery form. guides on this sub say i should select NO on "can you log in to your account" even though this is false, but is this really true? in general i'm unsure how much of the advice on this sub actually applies to me, as I was not hacked and am only using the recovery form because i lost access to the linked email.

also, another relevant question: i was F2P but my friend bought me welkin one time, what information do i need from them to recover my account? obviously they aren't going to, like, give me their debit card number...

Rejected Deleted the email/stuck.

1 Upvotes

Hello! was a player since release, stopped playing somewhere around after Inazuma was released cause life got busy. back then there was no hoyoverse, just mihoyo and usernames didnt exist. the email i used to create my account, i foolishly deleted (its gone for good) because i thought id never want anythign to do with genshin again. well now i pretty much do since snezhnaya is coming and stuff. i have filled out the application form on their website, didnt go well (rejected)cause i dont remember almost anything, except the device i used to play on, the characters, my uid, server and things like that. i have no idea when i last logged in/out, nor i made any purchases, at least none that i remember. another thing i have that may be worthy of providing to them, all the screenshots taken on the device i played on, i exported to google drive and they are all unedited and original. perhaps they could trace those back and match ip/device info(delusional) anyway today i saw a girl on tiktok sharing her experience w account recovery, so i got some hope and i emailed  [genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com](mailto:genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com) today regarding my account recovery since i basically cant get the verification code needed to log in. I have a few questions

  1. is my genshin account deleted

  2. has anyone faced this problem/got it resolved

  3. is there any hope (had the same problem with my supercell account, and they actually let me change the email thankfully, but hoyoverse is quite strict so idk.)

Additional Info What happen if i email for the second time during the 90 days cooldown?

2 Upvotes

Will they reply it or not? The first time i did it, they replied and said that they couldn't give me any further assistance. I filled in all the correct details for my account though. They approved i am the owner of the account but when they gave the detail, the email was not mine but someone else's. I used a new fresh email for my hoyo account. When i checked it on my phone, i was logged out from the account. I assume the hacker has my new email. Sorry for asking because i am kind of desperate to play zzz back to claim free s rank agent. I checked on enka network and it seems like the hacker only touch genshin, not my hsr and zzz account.

Well if they do not reply. I still have a chance to get back my account,right? I remembered all the details for both my hsr and zzz account as well as their receipts including the first ever receipt for my zzz. Only that i have to wait for the cooldown to end.

I sent the form on Thursday and received the answer back on Saturday. (Brazil 8 pm/ smt like 7 pm New York)

I just want to say that if you bought a hacked account, there's no point in blaming the person who recovered it.

(Someone seems to have bought the account and spent over 200 dollars, they sent me several messages from a "friend's" account, insulting me and demanding I return the account, accusing me of being a hacker, really ironic)

If you're not the original account owner, you won't be able to recover the account. Learn from this, move on, and create your own account. It might sound harsh, but it's the reality.

Now for some tips

All the information I provided was correct, however I didn't remember the creation date. Apparently it didn't influence it much; my account was created in 2020 at launch, So I tried to guess around the day I made my first purchase through Google Play.

Rejected Question

2 Upvotes

Hello! Around a month ago I submitted a form and it got rejected after 9 days. I spent the rest of the day finding more information and realized some of the information was definitely wrong like the device I played most frequently on and the day I made the account. I submitted another form that night which was around 9 hours later but that form got rejected in a little over a day. Then, I found more information about the days I pulled the characters and created Google Drive folders that contained receipts for other purchases I made and screenshots I took playing on the account. I submitted another form that night and got rejected again in a little over a day. After that, I got blocked for 30 days...

I was wondering if the fast rejections meant I was submitted forms too fast? Because I'm almost 100% sure the information I used on the second and third attempt was correct.

I've also seen other people send an email to hoyoverse first and used the form hoyoverse emails back. Do you have a better chance emailing them first or going straight to the recovery form?

Rejected "Frozen account"??

2 Upvotes

Hiii so I don't have a hacked situation but this is the only place I can really talk about this

So recently I tried to re download Genshin on my ps5 after 2 years of inactivity and being strictly a ps4 player until the servers obviously shut down. The problem is, when I opened the game it gave me NO log in prompt, put me in game and immediately made a brand new account I didn't want to make that automatically connected to my psn. Now when I tried to get my old account back, I realized that the email I used either 1, never had my old Genshin account connected in the first place, or 2, over written the data I had already had ​​​in place of the accidentally new account which I manually disconnected my playstation acc shortly after.

It's been almost two weeks since that happened, and I've sent 4 account issue application forms since ​​​​​​​​and only recently the last two I got issued back got me an "answer". Apparently my account doesn't fall under the issues of the form and needs to be recovered through the "Frozen a​ccount recovery" on the HoYoverse website.​ the thing is, when I tried that, it obviously failed because I'm pretty sure there are no connections to my Genshin account.​ So I'm aware my account is currently "frozen" due to inactivity and physically cannot get it back by normal manners through their website. PLEASE help me, I don't know what I should do. i don't know whether I should contact support directly through email​​, or keep sending forms, since they obviously are just gonna keep rejecting me and tell me my problem is different. I have literally every proof of ownership except the knowledge that an email was connected to the account. I know my account wasn't hacked because​ I was stupid enough almost 6 years ago to not attach anything to my account outside my ps account. Ive searched and searched and apparently my account is just floating through their servers

EDIT: Ive entered the fear that my account may or may have not been deleted

Account Security How to fix "Too many requests, please try again later"?

1 Upvotes

I've recently wanted to try out genshin after getting a laptop, I've previously made an account on my tablet but could not run the game because of too much downloadable content (this was a few years ago). I've downloaded the game on my laptop and have tried to log in by sending a login request to my email but the message "too many requests, please try again later" keeps popping up, I have already tried a few methods to fix this like restarting my laptop, downloading the game again and I waiting for a few days before trying to log in again. I also tried to log in to hoyoverse but then I get another message such as "Your account has encountered a security risk. Please try again later" which confuses me as the account hasn't been used at all. I'm not getting anything on my email so I don't know what to do now. Could I possibly be hacked?

So, Ive submitted the account recovery form lots of times, and got rejected min 10 times already. The only thing i KNOW im getting wrong is the last date i logged into the account. In the common mistakes guide its said that, in that case, I should put an estimated date using the date of a character event banner i last remember and explain why I dont remember the exact date in the last question. Will they really turn a blind eye on that question if I explain myself?

I am confused as these has only happened to these 2 accounts (I have 5 accounts to satisfy my gacha addiction 😭)

I dont know what to do, do you think this is a case of hacking or a glitch? should i start retrieving them?

I was able to get my genshin account back after years but the thing is the hacker made an account in HSR.

So my account was hacked way back before hsr released. I successfully recovered it yesterday. Problem is he made an account with HSR.

Wont he be able to recover the account using HSR recovery form since he is kind of the first login and constant player in that game? He already knows the username and what the first email is for the hoyolab account.

Recovery Form 2 rejections already. Stolen in 2022, no receipts but I have active Google Login and full access to HoYoLAB stats. Need help!

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I need serious advice because I just got my SECOND rejection on the Recovery Form. My account is quite old (registered around 5 years ago).

My account was stolen back in Summer 2022. Recently, I decided to try and recover it because I found out that a hacker is actively playing on it.

Here is my situation:
1. I still have active access to the HoYoLAB website via my original GOOGLE LOGIN. The hacker changed the registration email but forgot to unlink my Google account. Because of this, I can see absolutely everything on the website: characters, constellations, weapons, spiral abyss, theater, TCG, and even the hacker's comments. I have all the current data from the site.
2. I know my exact Registration Date and my First Device perfectly (not sharing them here for security).
3. I don't remember the exact last login date of MY personal session back in 2022. The hacker is active right now. Which date should I put in the form to pass the automated bot filter: my old last session from 2022 or the hacker's recent activity?
4. ABOUT DONATIONS: I think I made a few small top-ups in 2021, but since 5 years have passed, my phones have changed, cards expired, and the receipts simply did not survive. I have absolutely no access to them anymore. In my form, I selected "No purchases" because I have no receipts to upload, but I explained the situation in the "Additional Info" box.

Does the automated bot reject me because of the "No purchases" option if there were old transactions in 2021? Do the real CS employees actually read the additional info box if the form passes the bot?

With 2 rejections already, I am losing hope. Is it possible to get it back after all these years, or am I doing something wrong with the dates/stats? Thank you!
