Dismounting the grown pet wyvern mount is...interesting :O
The first part of the latest release I took advantage of was to mature my existing baby wyvern pet to a full-sized mount. OFC the second thing I did was go hatch a second egg to replace my newly-matured former pet wyvern b/c IMO the pet baby wyvern is far and away the best pet to vacuum up loot since it flies and doesn't suffer from odd traversal/pathing blockers that land-based pets have to navigate 😂
But with my starting to use the new wyvern mount I've discovered that the hitbox for the saddle is too forgiving -- if you come even close to the wyvern on foot the saddle will "grab" you and "auto-mount" Kliff onto the wyvern for me. This seems to be especially the case immediately after I *dismount* from the wyvern's back.
This overly-aggressive "auto re-mount" mechanic means that I cannot dismount in the air and separately glide to my destination (or launch an attack by "parachuting in from above" the same way I can from BlackStar/the dragon mount). It also means that I find that I literally have to execute a dodge/roll the split-instant I trigger a dismount when the wyvern is landed, else this odd mechanic re-mounts me. Its led to some pretty silly situations where I land near a group of enemy NPCs, dismount to attack them, and then find myself getting re-mounted back on the wyvern 2-3 times before I can actually even defend myself from the aggro mob -- never mind attacking any of them 😮
Curious to hear if this is PEBKAC or if others are also finding this an odd struggle with the new wyvern mount (?) And if so, any tips/tricks to "successfully dismount my wyvern" more consistently??? I love the wyvern mount otherwise -- thanks again Pearl Abyss for adding content to a single player game more aggressively than most live-service games can even achieve!
