Even when there is nothing there to block the tile.

You can't teleport from outside to the inside. A while back people complained because towers were being placed near castles allowing people to teleport over into the courtyard.

you should be able to teleport from tower wing into castle courtyard if properly placed..

the reason you are unable to teleport is due to a LoS patch derrick implemented to fix the bug allowing players to teleport inside the walls of a keep

No, you could teleport into the walls of a keep long after teleporting from a tower to a castle courtyard was ever possible.

right, well it still stands that you should be able to do such, there was never a restriction on teleporting into castle courtyards, as long as you had the LoS to do such

Curious about this scenario:

You are inside the castles front walls and you open the back door to the court yard, you can't teleport from that one tile to the courtyard tile?

Yes unfortunately that is the case. I managed to get into someone's front doors but couldn't "seal the deal" and mark a rune in their courtyard due to this ridiculous tile blocking that is going on.

It's completely inaccurate and it is unfortunate that this was ever put in the game. If people don't want teleporting into their castle, be sure to control enough land to prevent towers directly beside you.

I agree and will try to fix this. Sandro is correct in that this was part of the solution to the Keep wall problem.

Update: Fixed on testcenter, will be in next patch.

The fix, will the tower scenario be nerfed still? What exactly is era accurate for this case, both what i describe and tower flap teleporting?

Yeah, I am curious how this effects the tower-castle scenatio. I don't know what is accurate.

There should be no prevention of teleport into castle courtyards as long as you are in range and have LOS. The maximum range for teleport is accurate on UOSA, but the blocking of teleporting into house "regions" was not. I was able to prevent the teleporting into Keeps underneath the wall though a more specific method that does not effect teleporting into castle courtyards; whether you can actually get LOS from a tower and be close enough is a different question, which only experimentation will be able to answer. These changes are now on test center.
