So i recently got my minipet from my 12 moth as a birthday present (bone dragon) and posted about it this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...3070889&page=3

Now that was maybe a few days/week ago.

Been playing assin mostly since i just bought factions, and decided to want to play with my warrior some.

I open my main invetory bag, and i saw my minature was gone(no bone dragon) and a new present box here.

So basically i'm thinking (WTF!!!!), you can tell how =( i am right now.


And no i wasn't dreaming when i got my bone dragon, for those of you that will flame/make a joke.



Has anyone else encountered this? Was there a rollback i dont know about? Glitch in the system?
Any way of possibly getting my minipet back. =/

Why don't you just open it to see what's inside.

I don't understand.. why don't you do that? It could just be your bone dragon again and there is no problem.

simplify it for you:
He has Bone Dragon
He have Birthday
His Bone Dragon go bye bye and for his birthday he get present.
So, he got the present that was meant for his birthday
But they deleted his Bone Dragon.
100k +40-60e.
Youd be pissed too.

Yea, we know that already. But why doesn't he open the present to see what's inside first off.

It's mean to sell presents you got. No respect to those who does it, unless they have had it for a long time :P

Correction, i logged onto my warrior after i bought factions (i hadnt played gw after the 1 year mark)
So that means i had gotten my present while still a tyrian character sitting in the logbase/player accounts for anet.
I buy factions, make a new char, assin. Got bored so decided to log onto my exsiting 4 chars (first one my warrior), has total of 13 months on it.
I open present (yay bone dragon!!!111!!!) , go outside look at it, then put it away.
Decide to go play with my assin again, logged out for the night after playing for another hour or so.
Fast forward a few days, log back into gw, play with assin a bit, got bored being stuck at zen juin mission or w/e, log back into warrior ( notice bone dragon minipet is gone) decided to open it, and out comes a temple guardian.


So something went wrong on anets end, and screwed up (my minipet).

Hope you took screenies, such as bone dragon pet, and than inventory with new b-day present.

Wouldn';t have mattered...

Anet (and all gaming companies) have strict policy against helping with lost or stolen items....

They can't replace your bone dragon, most they'd do is say sorry for the inconvenience.

Ya i would just like to know, has this happend to anyone else, post if it does!

Curious question, is it possible to have single characters rolled back, has there been any incidents before?

If so, i guess i just got real lucky, then unlucky.

Email support and tell them the new bday present deleted the current mini pet. That's the only way they'll ever know about the situation to try and fix it. >.>

Sadly, there's nothing they can and will do for you.

And by the way, same thing happend to me except that I had a Necrid Horseman and then I logged out and back in and found that the Horseman was gone and got a present instead and got a Jade Armor out of it.

Sorry that happened to you. Sounds like one of those odd glitches.

Okay at least i know it isnt me. Guess the best bet is for it to happen to again and get a bone dragon. =)

At least my ranger got a hydra, i like hydras.

Anyone know what temple guardian could be trade for?

This is obviously a bug and you should report it to Anet.

You could trade it for a Fungal Wallow, if you like those (they are currently cheaper). Or maybe a Troll.

So, let me get this straight...

You got a bone dragon from somewhere... Another character's b-day or you bought it. Doesn't matter. You had a bone dragon. Then, you put the Bone Dragon on your Warrior character, who hadn't yet had a b-day. When his b-day came, the present you got for your warrior erased your bone dragon? That certainly sounds like a glitch if that was the case. If not, I don't know what happened and I'm still confused.

Could you clarify?

no, I think he got the BD from the w's bday, and then it was like the w had a second bday

even though you won't get your BD back, like everyone else said: you should still report it. they need to know this is happening

It was like my Warrior rerolled back a week and that i had a 2nd birthday.

The person i qouted i got right. And as for trading it, my ranger got a fungal wallow, and my necro got a hydra, and now my "rerolled" warrior now has a temple guardian. Hopefully this doesnt happen to my hydra cause i like it.

I did actually move the bone dragon to another invetory bag when i got it, but didn't put it in my storage box or move it to another character. And when i saw the "rerolled" present box, it was in the same invetory slot when i first oppened it to get my bone dragon.

Anyways, i did email support, hopefully they get to me in a day or 2.
I wonder if gaile has seen this thread yet.

Best bet like someone else said, if you just happend to log onto guildwars after a long time of not playing (for me it was like 6 months) and just installed factions to play again, put your minitures in storage or move them between characters.

I will definetly let you know if it happens to my other characters, guarantee you that.

There was actually one time where the presents came out too early, and they fixed it by removing them. It was a glitch that let the mini pets out early for those that had their accounts during beta. I searched for the thread, but its long gone. Could this have been your problem?

Quite possibly, as i explained, i hadnt played gw for about 6 months ( and my birthday present had been sitting on my character for a logn time), but i highly doubt that was the case, because all the posts were from pre-searing.


imma check support later and see what they say.
