I'm guessing that it's not an oversight. It's the same way for the Sunbrite Clothwork Pegasus from the R2T promotion.
I just took a closer look at this mount now that new Hero Fest pictures were posted on eq2traders and I think I really love it! I can already think of two of my characters who would fit perfectly with it and with the pretty blends of blue coloring!
But... my main character maxed out out on one of the repeatable quests YEARS ago, and has never even been able to complete the Heroes Fest achievement because of this. Does this mean he can never earn this mount, because the game won't let him do the quest, but the achievement thinks he still hasn't done it? I cry foul!
Kander: Just a note, some people MUST play in third person. Games that are first person, or where the camera is fixed to the back of the character, make me motion sick. I'm not alone in this; I've spoken to others who have the same problem. It is NOT an inner ear problem; I never get motion sick in vehicles. But I do in first person games. In fact, one of the reasons I've stuck with EQ2 is because it has the option of third person. So please don't start making things in the game that assume you're playing in first person view; I think you'll find that some of those items aren't all that popular as items that don't force that view on you.
I prefer third person, makes it easier to tell my range from my victim. In EQ in first person I was either too far away or too close to hit my victim. With third person, I found it much easier. Helped so much in PvP being able to watch my own back, too. Also easier to see whats going on around me than just looking at whats in front of me.
I play mostly in 3rd person as well, except in some cases where I need to look for something underwater. First person is especially annoying if you are playing one of the smaller races too.
NO I do not only play for the rewards Adevil . . . . Just wondering why they are doing away with them.
I like the anniversary mount. He's cute, but I haven't placed him in appearance yet. It would clash with my dress, ya know. And thanks for it. It was a nice surprise for several of my toons this morning. Loved it!
Is this an ongoing reward or will it only be awarded to those who complete the quests prior to or during the current Hero Festival?
While we still love you, this wicked witch is persistent and will continue to pester you on these boards for a broom mount. Very much similar to the duck mount guy.
