Can anyone confirm or debunk the rumor that if you buy this at 85 and have not done the flight quest (TS or Adventure at 86), you can still use it? If this is the case, I imagine there are going to be more than a few surly people.

ill try it later, you can swap the new Sc mount through shared bank , will give it to my sage and see if he can use it.

Vellisse · 06-07-2011, 06:07 PM

Quite possibly the worst thing I've ever seen the game.

brb flying my unicorn

Even for a fantasy game this is taking it a bit far.

87? First time I have ever heard that as the level for the flying mounts.

You should read the forums more.

It's not an unicorn.. it is a pegasus.

Vellisse · 06-07-2011, 06:19 PM

For 1,950 SC you may now completely skip a 5 day quest in game.

Soon enough, 2k SC for Fabled, 1.5k SC for ER

1k for 90

1k for 300 AA

zzzz

stupid as all hell gets, should have been appearance only

Corrected that for you in red.

I'm just waiting for them to add a plat to SC conversion to the marketplace to stop all the "gifting" going on in channels. That at least would cut down on the channel spam.

I agree with the appearance thing.

denmom · 06-07-2011, 06:44 PM

ttobey...

You may want to recheck the way the pegasus is in the dressing room. When I looked at it on my Wood Elf, she was sitting on it but sunk into the saddle. This was on both horses.

TalinRedGuard · 06-07-2011, 06:45 PM

Good job guys, I like it. Only one tiny thing, the viewing angle...it really is difficult to see around the horse, and you are staring straight at it's huge horsey behind. So you have to set your course, and then use the left mouse button to turn the camera to see around it. Possible to drop the mount down a little bit so we can see where we're going without having to switch to first person or zoom out to extremes? Anyone else experience the same thing?

Very nice
Are there different colors? Sorry at work
What is the animation like? Does it look like a Pegasus as in wings and hooves moving. Or just wings moving and legs tucked up maybe?

The animation while flying is a little dodgy....I don't think the mount's rear legs are moving properly....otherwise, it's fantastic.

ttobey · 06-07-2011, 06:48 PM

log out and run the patcher. The hooves weren't weighted to the joints. We just pushed new files.

Wanna fix it so that players can't buy their way through a quest?Make the mount appearance only, it's that simple otherwise your simply selling power.

feldon30 · 06-07-2011, 07:37 PM

I wonder if we're about to get another takeback on mounts after people already bought them.

StationCash lets you buy progress and speed with Vitality potions, XP potions, Evac, Tracking, Runspeed, Portable Bell travel, Call of the Hero.

If they require a 5-day waiting period for people to use their $19.50 mount, I think it will create a backlash. If I bought a flying mount for $19.50 and had to wait 5 days, there'd be a problem. SMILEY

His original post said they required completing the 5 day quest to fly the mount.

Maybe some description text was missing on the item?... hmm...

Anastasie · 06-07-2011, 07:46 PM

I really hope they added some mount drops to the new raid zones. I have never seen the mount drop off of King Tormax yet - the drop rate is rediculously low. It would be awesome to get a raid dropped Pegasus. I really hope we can earn one in game and not just w/ SC.

Why not just convert all the servers to EQ2x and be done with it?

Terrible decision to allow players to buy their way past content.

ttobey · 06-07-2011, 08:52 PM

If you are under level 85, it will still work as a horse if you put it in appearance slot.

Funny...my mount only cost me 6.50.

I got one of the pegasus's today and I love it muchly, though on a female high elf, it seems too big...almost big enough for my barbarian sweetie SMILEY

This. How about giving players some incentive to actually PLAY the game?

Vellisse · 06-07-2011, 09:12 PM

"The flying mount quest is still required to win the trust of the goahmari and earn the guardianship of your baby gryphon mount in the Great Divide. However, the Pegasus mount does not require the approval of the goahmari and can be used immediately by any adventurer level 85+ adventure or tradeskill level."

So what.. anyone 85+ who decides to pay out their wallet can instantly fly whereas the rest of us must deal with the 5 day questline only to get an inferior mount?

SOE, this is known as selling power.

Your selling something that the normal subscription player would be forced to do with 5 days and instead someone can cough up $20 and instantly fly is pathetic.

Change it to appearance only, the way it should be otherwise I can garuntee you things will only get worse between you and your community.

Pegasus and Dark Pegasus mounts are now available on the Marketplace! These mounts are available to adventurers who are level 85 adventurer or crafter and higher. (Any shoppers who are below these levels will not find them available on the Marketplace, unless they uncheck the Hide Unusable filter.) These steeds increase Ranged, Aggression, Crushing, Piercing, Slashing, Ordination, Focus, Disruption, Ministration, and Subjugation by 5.0. They also increase ground speed by 75% and air speed by 150%.

You contradict yourself in your own post, you know... At the start you say "When you complete the gryphon quest, you can fly it", then at the end you say " the Pegasus mount does not require the approval of the goahmari and can be used immediately by any adventurer level 85+".

As it is right now, your first statement is false. I wished SoE would keep Pay to Win on the "Free" to Play server.
