I believe the increase in distance of placement may be a fix for bubbled ceiling bases…

I’ve suspected it since the change.

Otherwise you have to wait until they get lax and don’t bubble so you can use arrows.

A great example is the hanging base between black galleon and sinkhole. You can’t treb it. It’s so small that the bubble covers enough to mitigate the splash from arrows.

I agree the distance is too far despite this.

But coupled with x4 and blood crystal return on PvP officials it makes the get up and go too easy. I’ve already written this regarding my clan’s most recent playthrough but again we were up and running in a meta bubbled base with everything we needed within 48 hours.

I shouldn’t be able to do that regardless of my experience. This was without raiding or finding loot.
