Cannot Reproduce lost 2 beatles in the last 2 weeks do to going wild .

[Brave Sir Robin]

over the course of two weeks, I have lost 2 giant beetles.
I was macroing spell resists on them. from 4:30 am to server restart.
they were in a house and I was visible to them. they should have logged out with me upon restart.
I had 2 other accounts active doing the same thing, and neither time did I lose the pet on the other accounts.
they were not even close to unhappy. both beetles had the same build, armor ignore, rune corruption, and frenzied whirlwind.
don't know if this matters. I made sure both times that they were fed before I went afk.
the first beetle I lost was scrolled out at 115's, the second I did not scroll.
the first beetle I was able to reclaim, it stayed around the house, only downfall was its strength and hit points got cut in half upon retaming.

Did they have anything in their packs? Pets behave different (they won't teleport from login logout, etc) if they have items in their pack.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

nothing in packs

 

[Dan]

What is your real taming and lore on said character that controls the Beetles?

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

115 and 115

If they went wild, they would've been ejected from your house, assuming it's private. Perhaps they are wandering around the neighborhood?

All pets have the same exact code for loyalty and loyalty decay. All animals derive from BaseCreature where that code is stored. Without being able to actually see if there did happen to be anything in their pack there is no way to tell what really happened.

Like @DewCono pointed out, Pack animals with items in their pack will NOT auto stable or disappear from the world on a restart. There was an exploit that was fixed about 3 weeks back where pack animals with items would still sometimes auto stable. This has since been resolved.

I found one of them, but when I retamed it , it lost half its strength and hit points...it was level 5 so he was worthless

 

[DewCono]

Also when they go wild if they had items in their pack they drop the pack on the floor beneath them. So even if their packs were empty after retaming there would be no way of knowing if they were filled prior to going wild.
If you're 115 base skill without jewelery, and the packs were guaranteed to be empty then something caused them to lose loyalty fast if they went wild that quickly. However with only a 90 minute window to lose loyalty before the server should have kicked you, and them I'm at a loss as to what could have caused it to happen as it did.

 

[Dan]

I have been unable to replicate any issues with loyalty.

 

[Omalley]

Its probably the same issue I had.. A pre-patch beetle..

Been training sw (Word of Death) on my pet yesterday for 1 hour while also attacking him melee (parry gains). Loyalty come down to 37%. Maybe dont hurt your precious.
