Ive just freshly re-installed WOW Cataclysm after over a year away from the game. I have a number of characters over L40 that have all ‘forgotten’ their ability to ride mounts. Equally all known mounts are missing, as are all Pets and/or Toys. The only thing they retained is available Transmog selections.
I note that for some of the characters they still have some of the mount icons on their action bars - that no longer work as they dont have the associated skill or the mount that they used to own. The only exception is a warlock that has retained his class mount.
As an obvious example, I have an L60 Dwarven Priest - Endone - who I can assure you has not been walking everywhere since 40 that has nothing in the way of known riding skills or mounts.
hit shift-P an that will pull up the mount/pet menu. all mount’s, pet’s, toy’s an transmog item went into a specfic window.
Yeah, Im aware of said window. The mounts list is empty (aside from a Warlock mount , that appeared after logging onto one of my warlocks and two that I just purchased). Equally true for the pets and transmogs - the transmog window contains the armor my characters are wearing, and the few pieces that further populated when opening their bank v(old kit stashed therein). It appears that the metadata behind all such entries has vanished - related database tables perhaps no longer linked etc.
I was also able to ride an epic ground mount on one of my 60s while it was showing as him knowing no riding skills at all! Purchasing said skills (I gave it a crack hoping it may jolt something into life) changed nothing.
that is really weird that it unlearned thing’s like that.
