Falling off transport dragons

[weasel423]

What sort of check is done to see if you fall off a dragon? I had never fallen off a dragon until this week. I have had 2 toons fall off dragons. A level 40 toon (dex 38) and a level 37 toon (dex 34). Is it not a dex check? What is the DC?

Thank you!

Could be a strength check?

could be an exploit to get relics to areas like sunken where you can't get them out.

Relics on dragons? That doesnt happen....

was part of a lvl 12-17 party of nine.. traveling from westernslope to beyrn.. my toon was last to fly and was dumped in Black Hills after a breif message "you lost your grip and fell from the dragon"

As the higest lvl member of party with best saves, I assumed it was a new random "ooops.. hehe" function to add a new twist to the game. Back hills was a nice touch since there are several areas, but a simple transition allowed me to peg my location.. thanks to the maps I made after joining server.

I would have beat the party to Zons, if not for adding a new toon to party who had to pick up everything that droped from the orcs that got in the way.

It was an unexpected twist that only cuased minor damage on landing, which I enjoyed. The twist.. not the pain..

Its a new twist that was added to the dragon caravans which works off a % chance. To answer Cahaal's comment the answer is no, the dragons won't dump you in an area where you can't return with a relic.

i saw someone get dumped in sunken last night, So the idea that one with a relic could fall off there occured to me....might wanna look into it more before a relic gets stuck somewhere...oh wait the relics don't really leave the factions where they are now.

I still laugh that Laufer, gnome monk with 38 dex and wings from prize room, managed to fall off the dragon!

You'd think he could glide to the ground and avoid any damage... or better yet, glide all the way to his destination!

I'm pretty sure Buppi (the Sunken Isle ferryman) will allow you to take a relic *off* Sunken Isle... the others just won't let you take it there. So the relic is still in play if its in Sunken Isle... just not easy to get it there.

LMAO.. LOVE IT!!!!!

[weasel423]

So this is a completely random occurrence? Does not matter what level or stats? I think that your chances should decrease as you increase in level... but that is just a suggestion. Can you give us an idea of the % chance that it will happen?

BTW, I had never been to the Duskhaven map before last night... Good thing I have a giant map of Atheria taped to the wall by my desk!

[LinuxPup]

It's completely independent of level, skills, or abilities... just random. And that's all I'm willing to say for now...

[Amoenotep]

i've never fallen off

[weasel423]

i've never fallen off

you just doomed yourself

So when a random deity just falls out of the sky for no reason we will know why.
