I’ve had that while using 1H Swords and the R2 lunge attack. Forever missing them if I’m not targeting them. Like you skate by to one side or the other.
Was going to go on an suggest today about adding / beams to allow building out some. -_- Then I see that it got nerfed to being decorations only.
Why do players always have to abuse stuff and ruin it for everyone? :3

It’s human nature. Unfortunately.

FWIW, I remember the days before the diagonal beams were nerfed, and it wasn’t (entirely) players’ fault that time. Sure, there were those who abused it intentionally, but the beams made the stability algorithm buggy af. I wasn’t even trying to abuse it in my builds and I kept getting really weird stability numbers and having stability issues with any builds that incorporated the beams.
That was one of the examples of Funcom team writing code that could screw things up really badly, not testing it properly before letting it go live, and then scrapping the whole thing when it turned into a dumpster fire.

It’s a shame. It would have been nice to get just one block farther out than I’m able on that base I’m designing. Feels like all it should have needed were those beams to be treated as 100% stable, and not require anything beneath them. But with connectors on just the two sides. So mount them on the side of a Foundation block and you can place one on top of them.
I know a lot of stuff got ruined in XIV because of player abuse. 
Like housing.

That would allow you to circumvent stability and extend your build indefinitely.
I am currently playing on a pve official server ps4 going into Sinners refuge I have to take a hit at times to see the name plate ok if you have good armor not good if you need to decide to kill or not because of what you are wearing.
No, not like that. What you show there is an exploit, an abuse of a bug. What @Yshtola proposed is a legitimate system that will allow you to expand your builds indefinitely without exploits.
This bug has been in the game for so long that it may be considered a feature at this point.
Maybe 2 more years and they will eventually fix it.
Remember fence foundation stacking? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Among the many features that the 3.0 update brings is the ability to turn off stability in single-player, co-op, and on private servers. Do you really find it worth arguing that Funcom should add a system that allows you to circumvent the stability mechanics on the official servers?
Yes I do remember.
The only thing I ask is to remove the ability to make flying out-of-reach bases.
Or maybe they shouldn’t? Considering the official’s rules a sky base is a perfect example of a player or a clan who don’t block any content and simply keeps their base away from the reach of most players and don’t block any poi or resource.
Dia this video has a mistake on purpose?!!
The stability can be shared equally left and right, so only the middle pillars were more than enough to keep stability.
I really love the “reality” part on building in this game you can fix beautiful things and work the stability with great creativity.
For me using pillars for bridge stability it’s lazyness.
What I love to see in this game is arched foundations. You cannot imagine how many stone houses literally hundreds tons, are on arched foundations.

It’s not my video but it’s one of the recent vids I have on my disposal. There’s a few rough edges in the video but it’s perfectly describes the issue aka “pro builder technique”

Yeah, they should fix big bugs like that. No disagreement here.
Hey, I was wondering when someone was going to find a way to derail this discussion into yet another discussion about the TOS. I’m surprised it took more than 200 posts to get there

It’s never too late to complain about TOS.
Gotta keep the classic theme goin’

I am happy I am noob then. I never use cheats and exploits my fellow exile, I don’t care for their existence and even now that I know what this exploit can do I still find it out of interest.
I prefer my noobish ways to build
Thats why I only play on private servers with people I trust. None of those issues ever come up.

There has to be some way to only allow it like no more than two extensions out. I never wanted an indefinite thing. More just adding one to two extra rings for a bit more space.
