Funcom gave us plenty of notice before they implemented it that this would be the situation. They had a thread open for us to put feedback into well before it was implemented and it was stated there.
However, I've seen several people on Crom ask which zone the daily PvP quest is spawning outside of the festival week. From Funcom's information I thought that this was not going to happen, but it might be worth you investigating ingame to see if they are actually available outside of the PvP festival week.
