Screaming_Ziva Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 On the PTS it was a reward for one of the achievements. On live, it looks like it has been removed. I'm guessing it's going to end up being a straight purchase item from the CC now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Look at the mount closely. Notice the antlers and the bright shining red nose. Now look up Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer. When exactly does Rudolph become pivotal in the folklore? Yeah -------> Christmas Eve would be my money bet for this mount popping on the CM.. Midnight, December 24. And let's not forget that they DO NOT need to patch to change CM sales content anymore. The contents on the CM can now be driven by some calendar coding inside the game servers. In other words.. the fact that all the Bioware Staff will be home celebrating Christmas Eve with their families (instead of loading a midnight patch) has ZERO bearing on the Christmas Tauntaun going on sale in the CM.

Rankyn Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Christmas Eve would be my money bet for this mount popping on the CM.. Midnight, December 24. Something like that would be my guess, too. Maybe not that exact timing (things tend to show up around noon central time) but probably much closer to Xmas day.

TravelersWay Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 God, i hope it died ;-) Agreed. The snowblower last year was one thing, now we have snowballs on the fleet and a speeder full of presents for this year. I mean, really, one of the joys of playing this game the last two years for me has been not to see holiday nonsense like that. As much as I have been a fanboi of the game up to this point, this has crossed the line for me. A Rudolph Tauntaun would have been the last straw.

hillerbees Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Well I hope the tauntaun does become available - I was looking forward to running around ilum on it over the Christmas period. The new ones on offer from the Life Day event aren't really ringing my (jingle) bells. I understand if he is busy until St. Stephen's Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderMid Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My guess is that the devs sobered up and realized this was a bigger abomination than last years mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelersWay Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My guess is that the devs sobered up and realized this was a bigger abomination than last years mount. If only that were so. But really - BioWare had disappointed every facet of player in this game at some point or another. My pessimism tells me that those of us who had no desire to see the tired old Holiday tropes in this game have yet another round of disappointments to come.

hillerbees Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Lets get one thing straight here - NOTHING could look worse than last years festive mount - it reminds me of Mr. Hankey the Chritstmas Poo every time I see it. Aweful thing. Bring on the taun taun please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
