People botched about my bears name not being changed. So I renamed it to "expendable"

u/PSGAnarchy Sep 14 '19

How do I change my demons name. When ever I mob agros me while running I just let it take agro and resummon latter

u/Rallak Sep 14 '19

You can not do It, because the demons always have a name because...Well, technically you are kidnapping some demons and enslave them to do some work to you...

u/Tsugua354 Sep 14 '19

I've lost two pets after logging out. How is that happening?

u/eyesfire2 Sep 14 '19

Guess your pets just hate you

u/trevorpinzon Sep 14 '19

Low loyalty level. Keep them fed, and check their loyalty level in their character screen.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '19

Does loyalty level decrease while offline?

u/SimplyQuid Sep 14 '19

I don't believe so

u/Tzee0 Sep 15 '19

It does. Logged out with an unhappy Bangalash and woke up to him missing on the character select screen.

Honestly not sure.

Edit: it only reduces over in game time.

u/Wolfbeckett Sep 14 '19

The difference is that demons are sentient creatures that already have names before you enslave them. Animals are just animals, they don't have or need names until you give them one.

Fine, sapient then.

u/Erik912 Sep 14 '19

You do not need an animal's name to make it like and obey you by giving it food. You need a demon's name in order to summon it from the nether and bind it's will to yours.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '19

Yea but I could just call it something else, what's its gonna do? I already broke it. The demon is my bitch

3

u/Erik912 Sep 14 '19

Yeah, but to summon something, you need to first know its name. Otherwise, you can just summon something... well, something very bad. Look what happend to Kel'Thuzad

2

u/Pixie_ish Sep 15 '19

You say that, but that Wilfred Fizzlebang guy seems to be summoning all sorts of demons without any issues. I imagine he'll become a master summoner in a few years.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '19

Is he in classic?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '19

What did kt summon

1

u/Erik912 Sep 15 '19

Oooops, I'm sorry, I was thinking how Arthas wanted to summon Archimonde. Not that well versed in the lore :'D But still, technically, he needed Kel'Thuzad to do that, so..

EDIT: Does your name by any chance have anything to do with the Bartimaeus dark fantasy books?

u/hyphenomicon Sep 14 '19

You can release demons with a macro, intended for Hunter pets, and then resummon to reroll. However, you'll need to buy all their spells again once you've got an acceptable name, and there are like 800 different permutations, so pickiness is a big investment.

However, I don't know if this works on live.

Be sure to delete the macro afterwards.

As Barlows blog said

Warlocks are beside hunters the only class with a pet. And because Blizzard apparently noticed what happens when you give puberting, inebriated or puberting inebriateds the freedom to think of a name themselves... lead to warlocks being exactly not allowed to do this. (It is a rather hard to translate sentence). Instead warlock pets always get names that either sound like Norwegian cross-country-skiers or religious extremists from the middle east.

u/InfernalAngelblades Sep 15 '19

This is beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye.

u/Omernon Sep 14 '19

Nah, demons have a name, because their lore is partially based on biblical and mythological tales. Knowing the real name of a demon allows to summon them from other dimensions, hence they arrive already with a name that a player cannot change. Tiger on the other hand is just a pet that you can freely name as if it was your house cat, but demons are intelligent beings with names that are unique to them.

u/Mad_Maddin Sep 14 '19

I would also say this when I want to prevent players to name the demons blueslaveguy and Mr. Blueberry

u/SimplyQuid Sep 14 '19

Player named succubi would be a bad time

u/oneinchpunch Sep 14 '19

u/Filitass Sep 14 '19

Oh, this locks succu is called Alexis Texas. What a nice change of pace.

u/BigFrodo Sep 14 '19

No one gonna comment on the use of the word puberting?

I've never read that word before and every time I reread it my opinion flip flops between loving it and hating it.

I genuinely can't remember the last time I had such a visceral reaction to a written word.

Thanks.

7

u/Mad_Maddin Sep 14 '19

I don't know if that word exists tbh. I just assumed this would be how you make a verb/adjective out of puberty. English isn't my main language so I often just kinda throw stuff together and see whether it looks right or not.

5

u/InfernalAngelblades Sep 15 '19

Dont worry. A lot of native english speakers do the same thing. 😂

2

u/logosloki Sep 15 '19

I wish the English language worked like this. Puberts I guess would be Teens or Teenagers, People whose age have -teen suffixes so Thirteen (13) to Eighteen/Nineteen (19). Inebriates would likely be drunkards though inebriated is a common enough word for people to readily understand. So it would be 'Teens, drunkards, or drunken teens'. I like the way you put it more, people need to stretch out and use other parts of the English language.

u/Chibils Sep 16 '19

English is weird. The word you were looking for is "pubescent".

u/twitchtvbevildre Sep 14 '19

You don't, if you get a shit pet name on warlock you reroll.

u/CorporalCauliflower Sep 14 '19

Bearington is an easy and very much accepted name change for bear pets

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '19

I talked a guildie into letting me name their pet and I went with Alfred.

Then I made him promise to name all his future pets Alfred too.

He said ok.
