Why is there roof protection on player housing...

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.
