I got another wild hair up my bum and decided to try to tame the Beast. I've got full haste gear, speed and elixir potions, haste food the whole works. I've got a pally and another warlock friend who was there to help any way he could.
We head to UBRS and make our way to the Furnace. Sit and eat haste food. I get set into position behind the haystack and wait for him to come out of his cave. Arcane shot, send in pet, BW, abandon, haste potion, tame. Tame time at 12 second. Knockback and tame is ruined with only three seconds left.
Beast 1 Giordana 0
Not to be dismayed I remember Veph, I believe it was, saying that dropping a snake trap seemed to help. I reckon no pet, let's give it a shot. Haste food still active so back behind the haystack I go ..... wait wait wait, arcane shot, snake trap, haste potion tame. He kicks me again and it breaks the tame but I hit the tame button cause I still had health and tame time was still at 12 seconds. Again he kicks me and that's the end of that.
Beast 2 Giordana 0
Now is where things got truly frustrating, weird and beyond anger making. Same set up as before but the snake trap was in a much better spot. Arcane shot, snake trap, snakies attack, beast distracted but I had aggro, haste potion, tame. Counting ............. counting ............... watching ................ holy cats ........... this is it .................. tame bar goes all the way down AND HE'S ................. not mine. WTF???? That's right. Tame completed but no ding.
Party chat that was at first erupting in grats and happiness turned into "what happened, what's going on, he's not yours" questions all to which I had no answer. The setup perfect, tame bar completed and I was alive. What the f-ing hell. I was so caught up in trying to figure out what happened Beast attacked me. I feigned death. I leave his area really quick to go over it in my head and not a damn bit of it made sense. One thing that did make sense is yes the snake trap idea works and does help.

I take a really deep breath and decide to try again. Snake trap, arcane shot, snakies attack, beast distracted but aggro is mine, haste potion, tame. Once again the tame bar goes all the way down again ................ and no ding. WHAT THE FUCK I scream out in party chat. None of us could believe what we were seeing. This is now time #2 that tame was completed and he was not my pet. I'm so angry I'm starting to cry. I just cannot believe this. I mean ........ twice. Mine. I mean .............. just what the fuck. My companions (who are friends in RL) are really dishing out the hugs and trying to help me figure this out. We go over and over. The could see and said he never one time kicked me, attempted fear or anything and I had full aggro. They didn't heal me so nothing would take him from being focussed on me. Beast 4 Giordana 0
They both ask if I want to try again. I say "What the point? This clearly isn't working. Somethings wrong, something is off." Their response was what could it hurt. I said "What's left my feelings." I collect myself once more and just stood at the entrance to his layer (cannot spell this word) and contemplate if this is even worth trying again. I'm honestly not so sure. I decide one last try since I clearly am a glutton for punishment and heartache. Set up, no snake trap this time but resulting sequence was still arcane shot, haste tame. Once again the tame time and bar run completely out. No Beast pet. Nothing. I feign death while the other two try to run out before he aggros them. He goes back into his cave and I hot foot it out of there. I am now fully angry and in tears. So pissed in fact I decided to send a ticket to a GM. For the 3rd time the tame was complete and nothing. I submit a ticket and explain the situation. My two companions also submitted tickets to a GM saying what they saw happen.
I don't expect anything to come of the submissions really. I didn't take screen shots of the party chat but I should have. We'll see what happens to it.
My friends of course being the compassionate gents they are give hugs and love and say "you'll get him. don't worry." I reply back "maybe he just wasn't meant to be mine." That made them upset. I'm not a quitter but this had me licked, beaten down.
Even now several hours later I'm still beyond angry and hurt. Why me? Three Beast tames technically completed and no Beast pet. None of it makes sense. I am not sure what I'm hoping for if anything other then the dungeon had an error or something.
I really am not sure what to think, say or do. I am happy however that I used my tallstrider LuLu so there was no rare lost and I got her back straight away. She was level 80 and after a mini vacation she was back to level 75. We'll fix that tomorrow though. Maybe this beauty was never meant to have the Beast but what an extremely crushing way to find out.

If not, perhaps wait and try in a day or two? There might have just been something glitchy, who knows?
