Sayaad's name changing every time it's resummoned

Hello there! Warlock main here.

Recently, I made a new warlock (not this one) and decided to level her some more today, due to the entry in the Adventure Guide for getting 10 levels on a warlock/mage/priest. Upon hitting level 19, I gained access to my preferred summon - the sayaad - and immediately changed my pet out. To note: yesterday I had already changed the sayaad skin to display incubus instead of succubus, before I had actually gained the summon.

I noticed rather quickly, however, that the first time I had to resummon him - his name changed? I tested this a few more times, confirming the name changing each time.

At first, I thought perhaps I’d triggered a bug by setting the skin too early. So, took him back to the barbershop, re-applied the default succubus skin. Then swapped it back to incubus, and tested once more - name is still changing.

I did a reload and tried - name still changing.

Went downstairs to the warlock room under the Slaughtered Lamb, and manually renamed him, then re-summoned - nope, name is still changing. (And there goes 50 gold, on top of it!)

I know for some this may not be much of an issue, but for me it’s incredibly frustrating - especially so as a roleplayer. I’ve admittedly sat rerolling demon names before just to get something I liked, so having one of my demons just randomly changing their name over and over any time I summon them is not fun! Especially so when, out of all the demons I have, the one I want to actually use is the one who has this bug.

I’m also concerned whether the bug is centered on this particular character, or if all my warlocks will end up dealing with this the next time I log into them. Update: tested on other warlocks, the name change bug was not present on their sayaads. The name changing bug was reported last year, and remains a problem.

This bug has existed since the original warlock pet customization update. Can we please get this fixed?

Sooooo this is still a thing. I spent so much gold changing my Shivarra name and actually got “Shiva” just to resummon her later and the name changed. And again. Everytime I summon her or any other Sayad type, the name changes to something else.

Not cool.

this is still happening on this character. It doesn’t seem to be happening for any of my others, only this one. It’s inconsistent across characters and consistent on this one, and REALLY FRUSTRATING, to not have a consistent name for one of my demons.

I had to level up significantly more for the appearance to stop being renamed. Then change it in the barbershop to default, exited game completely, and back to shivarra when logging back in.

Hopefully this fixes it for anyone else who looks up this bug and finds this post.
