As far as I can tell there is no way for most Zombies to dislodge a Co-Starring Wizard. As you noted a Space Cadet or Space Station which transforms to its other form will dislodge the Wizard but other than that the player being Co-Starred is stuck with the Wizard until his time runs out, he leaves voluntarily, or the Co-Starred Hero gets vanquished.
@siclehilde I don't think you can. The Wizard has to remove himself from you or jump to a different target, or the ability timer has to wear off! 🙂
@siclehilde
I would suggest that if you don't want a Wizard on your head... once they have jumped on that you do an unhappy emote ☹️....
that would communicate that you don't appreciate their presence and hopefully they will see that and will jump off.
Certainly I think that is how I would respond as a Wizard if I jumped on someones head and they did an unhappy emote... I would instantly understand that they did want to have a co star 🤔🙂Quickly unexpectedly jump into pit. Do that twice and hell never stick to your head))
- @asabaida Nice Idea!
Unfortunately, they get kicked to the edge while you die.
The only solution I've found is if you take the jump back to your base in Giddy Park, as they will actually travel with you. Either way, you still loose your streak bonus.
It's not cool how another player can use your position to both give away your location in pvp, and poach xp in pve; this needs be addressed.
Perhaps zombie players should gain the option to kick the Wizard passenger off when wanted, but the Wizard Co-Star refresh timer is reduced if you were only on the Zombie player for a moment. Whereas if you got kicked off towards the end of your ability your cool down would only refresh slightly faster. Players who don’t want Wizards riding them would more likely want to throw them off towards the start, so the ability timer would be relatively unchanged in that situation. 🤔
If we take a step back, isn't the real problem here that the devs have created a "benefit" that some players don't want?
Rather than allow people to kick them off, why don't people want the co star in the first place? Maybe that should be understood and fixed instead.
I dunno, I kinda like a Wizard on my head... its a little change and the extra xp both players gain is hugely helpful for some people struggling to complete the prize map for instance and helps folk level their characters up.
Seems to me like it doesn't matter what the Devs try to introduce there will always be people who don't like it... while some don't mind.
Can't keep everybody happy all the time I'm afraid... if it wasn't this to grumble about then it would be something else.
I am more concerned about when the plants are going to get their new character tbh to help balance things out again... the zombies get stronger while the plants are still lagging at the back of the queue. 🤔🙂People like to go solo and don't want to draw more attention/get their kills stolen. While the game is more team-orientated, it still might be annoying for some players. Maybe compensation in form of xp for hosting and supporting the wizard should be in place.
