wyvern breath kills riders

[Anndy578]

fire and lighting can both damage you while mounted. basically insta death. sure hope that's not intended

I have been googling all morning trying to find more people talking about this. If its intentional wyverns got alot more dangerous.

[Brainslime1]

i remember atleast poisons wyverns breath would hurt the rider in the original game, but not the other 2, so its probably a bug

I used a lightning wyvern all day yesterday, stealing eggs, no rider death. That's a weird bug.

can this be a case of network lag ?

interesting. i was on an argy just exploring and decided to grab an egg. there was only a single fire wyvern around at the time. the breath set both my argy and me on fire which was pretty much instant death for me. i respawned and got back on the argy but aggroed the wyvern again. dodged the first breath and got bitten a couple times which only damaged the argy. next breath attack set me on fire again. after spawning again a lighting wyvern showed up. breath attack instantly killed me while riding the argy.

don't think so. i didn't notice any lag whatsoever

I can confirm, I was on a fire wyvern vs another fire wyvern. My mount took no damage, but I burn to a crisp.

I know the lightning can instakill you if you dismount while the wyvern is still doing its breath attack.

Sounds like Ascended got aaaaall the same child diseases Survival Evolved had 8 years ago... Same deal, all of these so called "bugs", everything is the same...

Same content, new package

Tested more today. Lightning was maybe just lag or something because I was able to take a few hits. Poison is also more or less the same as ase. Fire gives you burning and near insta death every single time

I was testing out the different wyverns yesterday. Was showing a friend. And it seemed to me, the Poison Wyverns are actually do more damage than their ASE counterparts. They actually seemed strong enough to be worth taming. A 114 with no levels was doing 231 damage with their breath attack. I was surprised.

They definitely do good damage but in terms of wild they are easy to dodge and likely your best choice for trapping for milk. With the fire you don't really stand a chance unless you're on something really fast and agile

I've gotten tons of lightning and poison, but only one fire egg...so far. Needed to get some actual base building done earlier, but off to get more eggs. Just can't help myself. ;) Egg stealing and Giga taming are my two favorite things to do on ASA/ASE.

I believe it's to do with the engine port. The game treats the rider as a separate entity, so if you are directly hit then you suffer the effect. If the wyvern takes the hit then you are protected. Unless it's poison, but poisons were always like that.

New Extinction map, these darn corrupted wyverns will almost instantly kill you while on your mount. Is there a defense against this i don't know about? or is somethign wrong. Cause what's the point in 30k HP and ascended saddle when the first purple breath attack will kill you off your tame, and leave them there to die while you respawn. Its almost 100% death for me and tame if i aggro a corrupted wyvern

I posted about this a few days ago.

Full hazard armor negates the DOT but deteriorates the armor. You should be able to easily do reds with a few sets, especially after replacing low quality hazard with the ascendant quality from red OSDs. If any piece of hazard breaks, you need to be careful. You cannot outheal the DOT.

Purples are essentially impossible without piloting a titan since the wyverns spawn at much higher levels and are usually backed by alpha rexes. I tried with a base 42 melee carcha and died before wave 1 finished because 6 mate boosted corrupt wyverns killed my armor (680 durability on gauntlets which broke).

I guess if there are dinos that completely protect the rider you'd be fine.
