New furnishing pack: Combat Training, interesting idea, but where do you place it?

ApoAlaia · April 14

This one is a puzzler.

I like the concept, but what house can accommodate this?

Training dummies can only be placed directly on the 'native' collision of the house or everything, from ground AoEs to players if they use a blink/teleport ability will just clip through.

So what house has this much 'native flat surface' other than Coldharbour Surreal State?

The shore in Grand Topal Hideaway is also flat, but is underwater so won't work.

Moon Sugar Meadow has 'clear areas' but are not completely flat so they stuff clips through which is not very aesthetically pleasing.

The 'central platform' in Kushalit Sanctuary might be able to accommodate it, and has the added drama of being surrounded by lava, but it also has raised stonework areas so is not a very nice fit.

I am scratching my head where to put it that is a bit more interesting than the obvious (and so far only) choice.

The Hall of the Lunar Champion has a flat area (Halls of Colossus wing). I've been thinking about building an arena there.

Good point, I might try that later, the views there are quite pleasing

Jodes embrace fits but look kinda weird

I placed it on top of the water in the grand psijic villa. Guess what, ground abilities do not work due to invalid location error

It think they should make this a surface of its on so it can be used anywhere somehow. Right now it is not possible to find a working spot.

Depending how big the arena flooring is, the Wraithhome in Rivenspire has a big round room with a solid flat floor that might accommodate it.

I've run into this issue, too. This thing is way too big to fit practically anywhere. The concept is really neat, but there is no home this properly fits into. I'm struggling to find a place, and I'm big in the housing community, so all of my "plot" homes are in use. Might end up just asking for a refund. Can't use it!

I'm eyeballing it right now but as far as base housing surfaces go? I could see this in the Grand Psjic manor. But the more that I think about it, its probably better off put on a custom platform structure furnishing so it doesnt bleed through.

That being said the pack is VERY useful for guilds and I'm gonna see if I can contribute to get it for our guildhall

The problem with placing it on a 'player added' structure of any kind is that the way it currently works (or doesn't IMO) ground AoEs and even players themselves if they use blink/jump/teleport abilities will clip through.

As far as I know this has not been fixed yet.
