Wyvern eggs keep vanishing in my inventory

[TheHsuHsuTrain]

So, twice in a row I picked up a lightning wyvern egg only for them to dissapear in my inventory. Worse, the wild wyverns acted like I was carrying a wyvern egg and would keep behaving this way as long as my character remained alive.

This has been a bug since day one. Basically the eggs spoil in the wild, but don;t vanish. So you pick up a spoiled egg, it finally triggers and disappears.
Only way around it is to clear out old eggs, and wait for new ones to spawn. Or, check the timer on the popup box, and don;t pick it up if it timed out already.

Okay, thanks for the response. Just find it strange how that happened twice in a row.

Depending on what kind of server you're on, they may all be spoiled, sadly. They only last 3 days or something before spoiling, and then they can sit months just taking up space, waiting to ruin someone's day. =\

its people doing that which make it a bigger issue than it already is think about it if everyone refuses to pick up the old eggs your not going to get any new ones spawning in i know it sucks but if want to avoid these you need to clear out all the old eggs then you will always have usable eggs if go hunting regularly

If this is on an official server, I imagine it would mean big local tribes are already doing this, assuming there would be regular egg hunting anyway. In which case I wouldn't feel bad not risking my bird so they get an easier trip next time around
If on an unofficial, with less people around, an admin could easily go empty the nests, rather than me risking my bird to do it for them. If the server is quiet enough people aren't regularly after eggs, it's a small bother to do when you know someone will be hunting.

yeah used to do it myself when i ran my own SE server but it was on the condition that the player picks up eggs even if they arent going to hatch them so like the level 5 - 70 ones might be admin but still want to play game myself and not going to help people that are causing me work just from being lazy so if no ones been egg hunting for a week resulting in all eggs being spoiled i'd help them but if people are actively searching and just leaving low level eggs to build up and spoil i wouldn't

On the server I admin, I've taken to going through and cleaning out eggs every few days while in cheat LeaveMeAlone just to save the rest of the players (and myself, when I'm being a player) this hassle. I missed one yesterday though and when someone had a high level egg vanish on her, I went out and found her a replacement. Which is harder than it has to be since we can't spawn them in (they always come in level 1).

i used to do the clean outs at start but honestly after first month i was getting tired after 3 i had enough i just couldnt bring myself to do it anymore reason i switched to that other way gets a bit much having to do it regularly especially after overtime shifts in a factory really have enough of admin work now though so handing server over to our center map admin going to pay for server but leave him to run it fed up of getting on after work and instantly getting messaged for requests for help half of time i dont even know how they ran into issue in first place

My server is small enough that I pretty much know when people will be going for eggs and can only do it in the days before that, so I haven't gotten burned out. If new people joined it, I'd just ask them to let me know when they're likely to be trying.

This has been my experience too. Would be lovely to get some console commands to clean out things like wyvern eggs, bee hives and the like though.

thats one of main issues i have we have servers for island, center and SE but everyone plays on center they only go on SE to get the new tames and island for the content thats missing from the center so got no way of knowing when they are going for eggs unless they contact me before hand but theres a few players on here that i would prefer not to have on friends list since the type that seem to treat me like a personnal wikipedia and unfortunately im one of those that feels guilty if they dont reply to a question lol

oh another reason for the egg burn out i dont like using commands when cleaning the eggs if i know theres a good chance of usable eggs in there so i do 1 run with cheats since all will be spoiled then go in every 2 days with wyvern to do it normally when people are searching for them i am mad about dragons so i would be tempted to keep the egg if i found a usable 190 fire/lightning wyvern while using admin commands and i always feel heart broken if i find a spoiled version

Well, if they were gonna do that, they could, like, fix the problem itself instead.

I was soooo happy when I found a lvl 170 fire wyvern egg, 5 wyverns after me, pt half health but I managed to escape because they get distracted rlly easy. I got to my base really happy to have a high lvl fire wyvern egg and looked in my inv: gone.
