QoL improvement or major annoyance - View obstructed

Apart from all the other things wrong after AoH and the “hotfix” , as a builder, this is so immensly frustrating and makes me want to bite off a chunk of my desk.
Who in his right mind implemented this and thought: Nice, that can go live?
Please rework this!


Oh and before I forget:
Turn off living settlements until you have a proper fix!
How hard is that to understand?

i can see it be turned off on officials now people have some problem over their but when it comes to private servers and singleplayers they can just turn if off on the server (talking about the settlement system you talking about) but overall they need to make it so they need make it so you can turn if off/on on your account as much you want best selution until they have fixed it

Try a different build order. Some pieces are a bit finicky when it comes to placement

in the pictures I am not building, I am placing a brazier

I know that, it still can sometimes affect the ability to place certain objects

Dude, want me to also show a picture of walking through the arch and place it in exactly the same spot?
The view obstructed was introduced in AoH and basically makes it impossible to place a brazier or other object through a window, so you always have to have a completely free view to place an object, which is a pain

This one does personally find this annoying as well.
As a Blocks and Dolls player, this has become almost as vexatious as the dye bench mandate.
Any insight as to the reason that a system was again made clunkier and less user friendly would be appreciated.

Is it going to be blamed on PvP?
Was this a… particular… approach at changing how ieds get placed?

Yes.
Yes, it was.

Obviously not working as intended though, otherwise only PvP exploiters would be complaining.

Small correction, add “doorframe” to that statement as well.

It’s incredibly stupid and annoying me like little else can in this game.

I also find this incredibly annoying. I was having trouble placing a bedroll yesterday and there was literally nothing around, at all. It was view obstructed or too far away or building would block your spawn point even in a wide open field.
