Why is there roof protection on player housing...

kingsforged

REALLY annoying... trying to edit stuff on the Antiq gallery home and constantly being pushed off if I slightly misjudge my platform.

I understand the need for it in content zones, but in player housing it's just irritating and serves zero purpose.

I don't know why either, maybe your head pokes through the roof if it's not there. Anything that makes housing easier is a plus to me.

Ughhh... wouldn't surprise me if they bloody hardcoded it into roof assets...

Take Twin Arches House in Bangkorai - it has a flat roof - but you cannot use it because you cannot enter it. Have not bought it yet because of this. But no high hopes that this will ever change.

Yeah I doubt it'll be changed, just really annoyed me whilst I was trying to do a funny santa style picture and kept getting pushed off if I moved something slightly wrong

I'm a little confused what you mean by this? I have items on top of my Twin Arches roof. Do you mean it can't be stood on by the player?

Okay I see now. I made stairs up to the roof to see. When I placed my statues I was standing on the ground, not up top. I see now that although they seem flat on the roof from below, they are actually not.

Hmm

This is so odd because I can stand on top of my curved longhouse and put furniture on it lol

There is a defined area/size for everything in the game. It is a requirement.

I except the question is really more along the lines, why is the defined area not set higher than it is?

This post isn't about the height cap, it's about roof protection, where surfaces basically defined as a roof/top of a structure push you off/make you slide down.

In world zones it make sense to stop people doing 'parkour' across buildings, but in player housing it's just a annoying hindrance to people trying to create.
