December 25, 2022…Merry Christmas to me…yeah, uh, nope. No title, no cub. I had the title, was at the site to get the cub, had to log out to open Christmas presents with my family, came back to no title.
So what I ended up doing was I got everything I need to the cub on my alt, then had her do the quest line, got the title & booked it to the cub’s spot & I was able to get the cub. This trick only works if you have alt though (mine was lvl65). I just checked my main… still no title back & my alt doesn’t have it now either. >.<
Year 3434 of the Second Age, here follows the account of Pipers from Nesignwary and every poor soul in this thread:
Still no title.
Same here, title is still gone. Sucks because I really would like to get the mini pet
I googled the support article mentioned earlier and this is it:
As far as the devs are concerned, it’s supposed to be temporary, so they aren’t fixing anything.
I guess I’ll have to do the quest on alts and get the pet immediately.
I didn’t know it would disappear so easily. I didn’t do anything unusual after getting the title, just few around toward the general direction of the cub gathering and picking up treasures. I barely had it an hour. I wish this was more clearly explained.
Super cool that there’s basically no way to know about the pet/title combo without reading about it elsewhere, by which time it’s likely too late.
So… wait… they are now saying that this is intentionally designed to make this pet unobtainable for anyone who lost the title? It also claims there was some sort of visible buff indicating that the title was temporary… This never appeared for me, nor was there any indication that it was temporary. Or that there was some sort of rush to obtain the pet.
How many customers have said they actually love this feature? More than those who have reported it as a bug and/or complained after they were told that devs actually designed it this way?
It’s kind of a cruel gimmic if true. I have to think they didn’t intend it to vanish so easily.
Yeah no Blizz. Intentionally designed? Intentionally designed to be frustrating and an annoyance!? (I mean it wouldn’t be the first time).
There’s nothing in-game to tell you about the pet. In fact I never knew about the pet until today (but I did have the title quite a while ago—it disappeared, reappeared after some time and then disappeared again). I do not recall having a buff for the title.
so blizzard are not going to fix this anytime soon and i have to do on a alt ?
