Every time I use the flying mount boost points (water tornadoes) I am boosted, then 2 seconds later dismounted. Happens with all mounts, discs, wings and on every character my wife and I have tried. I bugged it a long time ago, but no fix so far. I haven't been in that zone for a long time, but I can't imagine it's intentional. Anyone else noticed this? EDIT - It also happens in Vesspyr Isles with the flying mount boost points. However, you don't just get wet, you fall to your death when you're dismounted.
I hope it's not intentional to have your mount disappear, and you fall to your death, due to not having bought the expansion and trained your mount. I would rather believe that the mount changes somehow don't play nice with the boost points. We were going to reward each other with the Xpac for Christmas, but we're waiting to see if this is a bug, or an intentional push for players to buy the expansion. I have 7 accounts, and have been playing EQ2 since the month of release, so I will be disappointed if it's the latter. I truly believe though that it's a coding mix-up that can be straightened out, but the zone populations don't make it high priority ATM.
I'm sure it is a bug. They said something in the Frostfell Test thread about quest mounts and a bug from the new mount training stuff and I'm sure there are other bugs. Hopefully they won't have to fix that zone by zone but fix some overall thing causing it to happen.
I'm glad to see that this issue was ninja fixed with today's patch. I didn't check Vesspyr yet, but Tranquil Sea is working as intended.
