**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**

I was expecting to get 4 gnomes and Valhawk replaced one of them.  
According to some patch notes this should not happen.

I had not encountered the 3 for the day yet. That counts for Hawk number 2.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Unknown

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Craft gnome-a-palooza. Go to pvp.  
Having valhawks to encounter.

Hello,

Please note that this is not a bug and after checking with the development team, your particular scenario is entirely possible.

Thanks.  
Yeah. I actually checked again the patch notes from monoliths update and didn’t find anything saying that could not happen.

That seems to be a strange decision, though, given that a Gnome-a-Palooza is the shortest time-limited type of event in the game, and doesn’t its activation suppress certain other encounters from happening (like Kingdom Battlecrashers) ?

On the other hand, for sigil-based events … actually I don’t know how GAP interacts with those at all (i.e: the appearance of Valravens).

There’s no sigil based event that gnomes can spawn in to my knowledge so a GaP won’t be useful. So this was likely just overlooked entirely and the #workingasintended tag slapped on it
