So, after a hiatus of nearly three years, I logged back onto my pally on Zek, on one of those Return to Norrath: 7 days free dealies. Apparently I had the good fortune of logging in right after a major patch completely revamping the display of the AA trees for all classes. I was somewhat alarmed to discover that the Holy Steed AA that I had purchased for however many AA points way back in the day had vanished, to be replaced with an AA that read like this:
Valiant Steed 0/1 cost: 9 Category: Shadows of Luclin
Requirements: Level 70, Holy Steed at Level 1
I asked another old hand pally, and he hadn't noticed this development till I pointed it out, because his holy steed hotkey was still working, and to the best of his knowledge, this was something that became fouled up after the recent AA revamp patch.
I think the game still knows that I have holy steed, and it is merely a failure in the AA UI. Anyone know if there's a workaround so that I can ride my old horse?
