Details

I wish I had more information, but a few people have experienced it now so I figured I should open a ticket. In the screenshot what you'll see is me hitting my Activate macro a few times after OP warping from town.

The message indicates my automaton is already here. Since I wanted to change some attachments I then deactivate it, swap some attachments, and activate it again. About a minute later I zoned into Davoi. At this point my automaton was gone. I tried to hit my deactivate macro, which is what produces the error message, because there is no automaton. Then I tried activating and the cooldown displayed, which makes sense, but what doesn't make sense is losing the pet.

Anecdotally another PUP reported this coming out of a Kclub BCNM, and someone posted about losing their adventuring fellow when zoning as well. I assume its pets/fellow not PUP specific, but maybe I'm wrong! I'll try to get more details.

Notes below but I was able to verify that this can happen to BST/PUP/SMN/Adventuring Fellow, but most importantly, I was able to get both results when testing with carbuncle, so it truly is intermittent, although nearly all my tests showed the pet disappeared, so results seem skewed to that end.

I am able to reproduce these exact steps on the test server, except I started by !zone ing into Jugner from zitah with my pet already out instead of OP warping. I don't often zone with my automaton out, so maybe its 100% reproducible and not intermittent.

Edit: Simply activating your automaton in Jugner and zoning into Davoi will remove it, without all of the other steps.

PUP: Jugner -> Davoi zone causes automaton to disappear

SMN: Jugner -> Davoi zone DID NOT remove carbuncle
SMN Test 2: Junger - Davoi zone caused Carbuncle to despawn.

BST: Jugner -> Davoi zone causes tiger to disappear

Signal Pearl: Jugner -> Davoi causes NPC fellow to disappear

DRG: Call Wyvern used in Davoi (opposite direction) and zoned out to Jugner. Wyvern did not follow. This test shows it can happen to DRG as well, and that the dungeon/non-dungeon doesn't seem to matter on direction.

DRG Test 2: Also tested the same thing in the opposite zoning direction, also lost the wyvern
