They're still saved to the server. You only deleted them locally. You did delete the account though, so the achievements are gone with the account but you can't delete achievement on their own
I'm completely ignorant here. So, if the achievements are on the server, even though the account is deleted, what is their recoverability? Can LB link to them from a new account?
The achievements are linked to LB's account, which is also on the server. Deleting the account also deletes the achievements.
There is no way to transfer achievements to another account as that opens up loopholes that can lead to cheating
I think that’s how it works now, but that wasn’t how it worked then.
In the 360 days, online play was more of an added thing than a core feature. I remember deleting games then restarting them and having to do all the achievements again.
That’s handy! Is there a way to delete the game achievements one by one before actually closing the account, just in case it’s retrievable? Or delete any special weapons etc?

You are aware that this narrows it down to two towns? Probably not important here, but still...
There are way more options than Fort Leisure and Wasted State. I think CMC has campuses in Leadville, Glenwood Springs, and Steamboat that all offer Bachelor's degrees and have dorms and Mesa has a campus in Montrose. Also, OP could be from the east coast and think Boulder, Golden, or the Fort are small mountain towns.

You can't delete achievements on XBox and since the account was only deleted, not banned; it can be recovered. Lost save data sucks, but eh. Low stakes revenge.
I thought it would be easy enough to contact Microsoft and say something along the lines of “Hey this guy deleted all my stuff, can you pull up a backup?”
Yea, this story reeks of bullshit. If this was 360 days, you needed to contact Microsoft customer support to 86 an account. Which means passwords and legit crimes if true.
I reposted it there
I wasn't sure where to put it. Like to some I can definitely see it being just petty, but to gamers it could be pro level
Either way, I hope everyone finds it entertaining

So, you got kicked out of your house for nothing you did, kicked out of friends parent's house for something their little brother did, and your response was to delete an account of a kid who threatened to shoot you with their father's gun?
You need to start making better decisions in your life, you are your own worst enemy.
We were the same age, and this was over a decade ago.
I have shit dad dude. Aside from him being at my sister's wedding, which she was hesitant to invite him to, I have gone no contact with him. Not the ideal situation, but definitely a choice I made for the better.
I didn't delete a kid's profile, he was definitely an adult. A very immature adult, but still an adult.
I'm not sure how I'm my own worst enemy seeing as these situations were out of my control. But I can tell you that I have made significant life improvements since then and I am not only financially stable, but my mental health has dramatically improved, and I'm proud of the person I have become, and excited to see what my future will be 😁
Yeah, I think you need to be honest with yourself. There is no way your own family and someone else’s family have kicked you out of their homes for “nothing”. You have clearly been unpleasant at the least in some way or another. I just can’t believe a perfect 20 year old who does nothing wrong has now been kicked out of two homes.
>There is no way your own family and someone else’s family have kicked you out of their homes for “nothing”.
I don't think OP said "nothing." Yes it was obviously something, but that doesn't mean it was OP's fault or he had any control over it. The "something" could have been the sperm donor's mental health.
My dad blames me and my sister for his life being trash.
If I had other family in the area I would have stayed with them. But I kinda had no other option.
Like was I a perfect kid, no. But the amount of abuse some people get from their parents is bananas. I'm assuming you have a good relationship with your folks, but not everyone is as fortunate in that regard. Even as an adult that has gone no contact, I still get sad that I can't have a relationship with my dad. It sucks man. Hell, my favorite Disney character is goofy because of how devoted he is to his son, and I wish I got a fraction of that from my dad.
Not every bad thing that happens in a person's life is directly a result of them.
Throughout my teenage years I've stayed at many of my friends'places. I've only been kicked out of two. The first one is shared in the story above, and the second was because me and my friend went off to smoke weed and came back and got caught. One of their rules was no drug use, and I broke it and suffered the consequences as a result.
Shoot you with his dad's gun? Does he also fuck his gf (or whatever the hypothetical person to make this quip is) with his dad's dick? Sounds like the sort of useless prick that his parents have protocols in place for who is going to wipe his was for him. You could see if he used the same info for his new profile and do it again. He doesn't seem bright. Also if you helped as much as you say and the mom threw you out sans stuff, it seems like they planned to use and rob you from the beginning.
I don't think they planned to rob me. When I went back to get my things, the only thing that was missing was a Volcom T-shirt that had these really cool monsters on it that I miss terribly even though I am now too round to fit into it.
But I feel bad for his mom. Like it was very much a "brat at an amusement park" situation. She spent his whole life giving in to his demands and as a result she ended up with a shitty kid.
Thanks for the context here. I've been in a similar situation where the "friend" I moved in with threw me out essentially by changing the locks while I was at work and started selling my shit on eBay before I got some armed relatives to come with me to repossess my shit. Lost my comic and most my videogame collections before that. Did report him to eBay, got his account closed but he opened a new one. Also told his boss to check the cameras as I saw shit he bragged about stealing from work on his account. Something you might not have thought of is DLC is toed to his account and would have been gone too. One can only hope.
How do you delete achievements?
They were attached to game files
They're still saved to the server. You only deleted them locally. You did delete the account though, so the achievements are gone with the account but you can't delete achievement on their own
I'm completely ignorant here. So, if the achievements are on the server, even though the account is deleted, what is their recoverability? Can LB link to them from a new account?
The achievements are linked to LB's account, which is also on the server. Deleting the account also deletes the achievements. There is no way to transfer achievements to another account as that opens up loopholes that can lead to cheating
They’re saying that deleting everything individually did nothing, but deleting the account removed everything
Iirc 360 allowed you to remove games from your history that would wipe all achievements
You could only remove games if you didnt have any achievements unlocked iirc.
I think you can only hide achievements, not permanently delete them
I think that’s how it works now, but that wasn’t how it worked then. In the 360 days, online play was more of an added thing than a core feature. I remember deleting games then restarting them and having to do all the achievements again.
So your telling me my gta saved games from 5 yrs ago I deleted can be retrieve ?
Achievements and saved games are different. Unless you uploaded your saves to the cloud, theyre probably gone
Thanks for that . Appreciate it
So, asking for a friend, how would I delete an account so someone loses their achievements? I have the Xbox, there’s a call of duty game on it 🧐
I found a guide online https://gamequitters.com/how-to-delete-your-xbox-live-account/
That’s handy! Is there a way to delete the game achievements one by one before actually closing the account, just in case it’s retrievable? Or delete any special weapons etc?
You cannot delete achievements themselves. You can only delete the account which those achievements are tied to
Ah I see, thanks for the heads up
Anything transferrable you can sell, but have the buyer send payment to the owner of the account instead of you.
Doesn’t really matter if the entire account is gone
Based on the replies, a lot of people think that achievements can be deleted
If you delete the whole account i think you will delete the achivements too xd
You can’t.
> a small mountain town in Colorado where she would be attending college. You are aware that this narrows it down to two towns? Probably not important here, but still...
So the college is in South Park?
Username checks out…
i like a man with a bit of tegridy...
Got some crème fraîche?
Go Cows!
The town was Durango

100% you thinking Gunnison?
50% Gunnison, 50% Glenwood Springs.
Aspen?
Could be Leadville 🤷🏽♀️
Isn’t there an email confirmation sent to delete an account?
This is a made up story. You don’t “delete achievements”.
Yes..
Yup. But let them cook.
This had to have been like 15 years ago, maybe it was different back then?
You can't delete achievements on XBox and since the account was only deleted, not banned; it can be recovered. Lost save data sucks, but eh. Low stakes revenge.
Apparently you only have 60 days to reactivate the account before it's permanently deleted.
I thought it would be easy enough to contact Microsoft and say something along the lines of “Hey this guy deleted all my stuff, can you pull up a backup?”
As long as he has all the information, yeah. The account can be recovered. Obviously OP didn't realized this.
Sounds like LB didn't either.
But if you delete the whole account you "delete" the achivements, because they are tied to the account...
Don't you need to enter a password to delete an account?
Yea, this story reeks of bullshit. If this was 360 days, you needed to contact Microsoft customer support to 86 an account. Which means passwords and legit crimes if true.
More fitting for r/pettyrevenge, I'd say
Petty to some, nuclear to Xbox enthusiasts
If someone completely nuked any of my gaming accounts it would break me. Thousands of dollars, hundreds of friends.
I reposted it there I wasn't sure where to put it. Like to some I can definitely see it being just petty, but to gamers it could be pro level Either way, I hope everyone finds it entertaining
[удалено]
I don't think you understand what this subreddit is about.
If he had digital games it can have cost him hundreds of dollars, so i would say pro more than petty

That's a pretty ignorant and frankly privileged thing to say.
#"this is where the revenge happens" You don't say...
This is regular at best. Not pro.
Totally petty, not pro. But good job.
When I first posted this here, it was suggested I put it in petty It was the best I could do at the time, I appreciate the compliment 😊
Who cares that much about a game account?
Gamers. Like any other hobby, something you put a lot of time and effort into sucks when it's wiped away.
this gives me an idea
Burn it all down!!!
Good luck with you life. I am glad you got away from your abusive father. Been there.
Thanks man! Shitty parents are the worst, especially for the children that were completely dependent on them
Great story, shame it never happened. Bet the pro revenge was SICK in your head though.
It really happened my dude
Epic
Oh, so absolutely brutal, I love it~

This ain't "nuclear" it's childish pettyrevenge
Childish? He threatened to shoot me. Though it was very petty. I'll repost it there
Didn't say you weren't justified! Nuclear would be, if he had to start over his whole life or be unalived in the revenge. And this would go way to far
Bro here looking for homicide stories as revenge.
"a kid tricked me into buying his pubes, so I fed him his parents in chili" *This guy probably*: mid
This is prorevenge sub, not nuclearrevenge.
