WordCobbler.6138 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 When I created my ranger character I selected Norm female, Bear pet and Bear as my Spirit, however I started with a Jungle Stalker. I thought maybe in the tutorial section I would have the Jungle Stalker and then it would change to a Bear after. I'm up to level 8 and moved on a bit, but the pet has not changed. Is this a bug? Do I need to restart my character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephylon.4938 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just find a juvi bear and tame 1, should be a polar bear around hoelbrak. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_pet_locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's an old, old bug. Guess it has re-surfaced. As noted above, you can 'tame' any number of Pets for your Ranger. You can get an Arctodus (Bear family) here: **Arctodus** _Wayfarer Foothills_ / _Frusenfell Creek_ / _In the cave east of Vendrake's Homestead Waypoint_ You can also contact the CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below and 'Submit a Ticket' to get your Display Name changed from the UNID to an actual name, should you so desire. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's definitely a bug, you should have gotten the bear pet you chose. I'm not sure how or why it happened, I just tried making a female ranger and picking the bear pet and it didn't get swapped for a stalker. It's especially weird because the stalker isn't one of the norn's starting pets, they can only choose bear, wolf or snow leopard. If you haven't already done it I recommend sending in a bug report to Anet so they're aware of it. (Type /bug into the chat box in-game to bring up the menu.) If you just want a bear you can tame one - a brown bear like you'd get from character creation is in Gendarren Fields just north of Lion's Arch, or you can find a polar bear in Hoelbrak. Alternatively if you delete and re-make the character you should start with a bear. Just make sure you put any equipment or items you want to keep in the bank first. (Unless they're soulbound, those won't be usable by your new character even if she has the same name.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordCobbler.6138 Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Thanks to everyone for the help and comments! I'll submit a bug report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blude.6812 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 You also have the forum name bug that you need to deal with. I believe that is your serial# for the game rather than your chosen name. Get it fixed from support before your account is compromised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a bug, but OP doesn't need to worry about his account being compromised from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It's not the Serial Key, but the UNID. I'd still recommend getting it changed, but it's up to the OP. Changing Display Names can have drawbacks. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
