Stables Bug! (is not the end of the world)

[Teigan]

Ok, I'm posting this so that in case anyone else runs into this they don't have a heart attack. I thought my oldest and dearest pets were gone! Poof! Vanished! As well as some of the new tames. All there was were empty stable slots where my babies had been last night. I put in a ticket and here is a screen shot of the GM response.

[Agravaine]

Oh good!!! I'm glad you got a nice GM to look into it and let you know what's going on. Me, I'm missing my newly-tamed Terrokarantula and Saltwater Snapjaw. Not that they're difficult tames by any stretch, just located in way-out-of-the-way places.

[Kaswryn]

I just rechecked my stables and realized that Shadow is missing a handful of pets...including her Arcturis *grabs hold of all remaining pets and holds them close* Hope they fix this soon.

[Saturo]

My Felguard! NOOO!

Oh wait.

It just randomly dies, no at all like not showing up in my stables. But then again... NOOO! My Felguard! It's not in my stables! D:

[Vephriel]

Actually I did read that Warlock minions apparently had their names changed in this patch (as if the game just re-assigned new ones to them). I forgot to check on my Warlock.

[Saturo]

I wouldn't be surprised. I was just on my main lock for a quick respec and some testing of the new shard system. Then I popped over to Bloodhoof, got Stereo specced, cried over the worthlessness of MM and logged my Petopians Mage.

Mages are pretty decent, BTW. At least Frost.

[Vephriel]

Ooh, just logged in to my lock and sure enough my minions all have new names. I'm pleased because I like them more than their original names (though my Felpuppy kept his old one, which I happened to like). ^_^

I quickly specced into Demonology out of curiosity since I've never had a Felguard. Mine has the unfortunate name of Skreefazag.

EDIT: Ooh, a blue post on this

Since the release of 4.0.1, more than a few warlocks have noticed that their pets are in fact no longer their familiar demonic servants, and instead appear to be new entities with different names. We’ve been able to pinpoint the cause of the issue, which should be resolved by tomorrow for any warlocks that log in for the first time from then on. We’ve also been able to determine that we will be able to restore any renamed warlock pets to their original pre-4.0.1 names during next week’s scheduled maintenance.

For those of you who like your new pet names, we’re working on a feature for a future patch that will allow you to refresh your summons and essentially generate a random pet name without having to level a new warlock.

Love them for that last part...I've always wanted a way to generate a new name until I like it.

Oooooo!!! That was one of the things that irked me a little about warlocks. I understand they aren't a pet class like hunters, but getting all the way to level x only to find out that your demon is named Smellsafart is depressing.

[cowmuflage]

Well its not the demons fault that there parents are dumb at nameing there kids!

Huzzah, no need to learn a new spec on my Mage. XD

My Bloodhoof Warlock has unchanged minions, and I'm very happy about that - would've hated to lose my dear Thokthak. Didn't have a chance to check my Tarren Mill Lock yet, hopefully hers have changed into something more fun. XD

And speaking of Hunters, I haven't had any of my pets disappear as of yet on either of my 80s or 27.

I just checked my stables after reading this, and a number of mine are missing too. 3 spirit beasts (all but Arcturis), Aotona, and my silithid ravager. All of the pets were in there safe and sound last night after patch. In light of this, I've moved all the pets I plan on using in the next few days into my active slots. Thank you for posting the GM response! I would have flipped out if I hadn't seen that.

[Teigan]

My babies still aren't home and I miss them. I hope they get this worked out soon.

[Helsinki]

Server restarts are going on now - maybe the hotfix is included? My silithid was second in line for leveling, so I hope I'm able to have him tomorrow! *hopes*

[Kalliope]

*hugs Teigs*

No one's even looked at my ticket yet. I hate my server sometimes.

BUT OMG. I JUST CHECKED MY STABLE WHILE WRITING THIS POST AND THEY'RE BACK! Go check go check go check!

[Agravaine]

Mine are back too

[Areon]

Glad thats what it was, as I had a talk with a GM about trying to get them back for a good 30min before he told me to repair my wow and put in another ticket if it didn't work. My poor spirit bear and King Krush...

[Malazee]

MY MUFFINS ARE BACK! After the server restarts today all of my pets have returned, including my dearest Shunjal! *snuggle*

I even feel kinda guilty... I thought I had lost only 3 pets, but it turns out I was actually missing a fourth as well... one of the new pets I tamed yesterday, a white Moth I named Siona. But all of them are safe at home now. I'm going to hold on to them and never let them out of my sight again!

[Vephriel]

Azzam's back! *snuggles him*

[Kalliope]

Eeeee!

So happy Blizz actually hotfixed this on the sly.

EDIT: YAY!!!! MY babies are home!! Woo! (ok, back to work)
