How to Protect yourself from the LOS issue?

Post by JesusIsLord »

Does anyone know or did anyone ever figure out how to make your character safe to macro in a Tower ?
On the Wiki it mentions carefully positioned stone ovens. Has anyone had success with this or posted how to position the ovens in a Tower to make it safe?
I understand I can macro in a small or 2 story, but seems kind of odd the game has towers , castles, and keeps, if there only good use is a public rune library.
Thanks in advance for all the information, flames, rude remarks, and everything else this will probably generate. It's all good.
Also thx for all the hard work and effort that goes into making this game what it is to those responsible.
If this is posted in the wrong spot, my bad , this is my first post.

I just macro in a small, patio, brick, or L shape, and keep most of my belongings in my keep. It doesn't make any sense that towers, keeps, and castles are less safe than other homes, but it is what it is. Just place a small and macro center tile.

and don't place your other houses next to water or hills...

Flat ground is the safest spots for houses.

Best solution is don't be AFK if you don't like the risk of being whacked.

Best solution is to go grab a corner of T2A ocean (doesnt spawn water ele's like regular land water tiles do) before all the good spots are taken, and macro there.

Thanks for all the replys . The good the bad and the ugly. Actually macroing off of a boat works good. And a used boat can be bought for 4k. I do it a lot in a guard zone. By adding a "if " statement to my macro, if health goes below 95, call guard, water els and everything else isn't a problem. I place my boat center of the guard zone line. I can macro resist off the back side on one character and my healer is standing inside the guard zone.
