Possible Bug with logging out with a loaded pack animal while not riding it
Before I post this in the bugs section I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.
This has happened to me TWICE now.
I forget to hop on my blue beetle and log out. There are things in it's pack.
I log back in, it logs in next to me. I hop on it, and it makes a NEW blue beetle.
The first time it happened, I unloaded the second beetle (One I am not riding) and stabled it. It didn't actually stable but it disappeared when I stabled it.
Then I took the one I was riding and tried to put something it it's pack and it says this container cannot hold more weight even though there is nothing in it.
So I got and bonded ANOTHER beetle and again forgot to mount it....this JUST happened again. Logged in, beetle was next to me, hopped on it and it made another beetle.
When I hop off it, the second one disappears.
So my first beetle is now broken and I can't put anything in it's pack. This one, because I didn't stable it, it's fine...still a weird little buggy glitch that comes with the 24 hour auto log out thing yes?

It is best to try to get it back to one pet quick by mounting them until there is one or stabling them.
After I stable them I log off and come back to make sure it is there. Players have lost pets because they play around with this.
There is no way to dupe your pet, there is just a way to have the pet go poof.
This happens to beetles easier than other types. Hiryus are next. It happens on the high seas, it happens when you drop rocks at Navrey. Other than your example it is not easy to constantly duplicate this bug. On a ship, one pet can be on the ship and the other in the water. If you lose the real pet, it can go poof.
I would only mess with this bug on TC.
This one seems to be okay but I haven't stabled it yet.
I do tend to forget sometimes or when someone asks for something and I'm on my crafter I log out real quick to help and forget to hop on the beetle.
That's kind of a scary thing, hopefully that can be fixed, thanks guys for the replies.
I would page a GM to look at the beetle that can no longer hold anything in it's pack. A GM might be able to fix it. If not, the creature still might hold a clue the dev team needs to fix the underlying issue.
If they can't even resolve existing bugs they should stop meddling with time proven systems until they have the resources.
