Demon Names

[Vulenoy 0]

My demons are all named Pet. The character was transferred from old Nostalrius. Resummoning and relogging did nothing.

Seems to be the case for all summons and pets.

​Since this is likely not a "bug" that can be fixed in the code (the names display just fine when you rename a pet or abandon and resummon a demon), but a field that was overlooked and wasn't properly imported from the Nost database, will it ever be fixed or should everyone just abandon their summons and retrain them?

 

Will there be a refund of the gold needed for retraining? Will pets/summons that are currently named "Pet" ever get unique names back automatically? This is not just a simple cosmetic issue, it breaks various PvP macros and hinders BG gameplay so any official info would be nice.

some refund would be nice, just to buy new spells

Highly doubt it'll get fixed or that you'll get a refund for new grimoires. You all get free mounts so I'm sure you have some spare gold. ¶;~)

​The problems are that when every warlock and hunter in a BG has a pet named "Pet", you have no idea which one has which pet at a glance when they're close together, and you can't make macros for quick targeting to banish/fear them, which is especially bad and to use the buzzword, non-Blizzlike, with warlocks who normally have unique demon names by design (and can't rename them to their own name, which hunters often do to mess up targeting for their opponents).
