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. 🤔🙂 - 5 years ago
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.

There’s tons of bonus xp awarded now exclusively with the Stars Alignment bonuses (assist and shared vanquishes).
For what it’s worth: I’m a solo player (always have been) and love being co star and love someone riding with me even more. Really. I don’t care about their skill level because even noobs allow you to see through a wall so long as you’re both looking the same direction.
I know some people will dislike having a rider or being co-star but it’s counterproductive to me (not wanting a rider).
