If he is on the balconey isn't he already in the house?

Dont forget waste, if you have a TEF you cant go in a house. So basically if it is PvP the sniper himself is stuck on the roof.

Nope, the balcony is consider outside-hence you cannot place furniture there(That really pisses me off BTW, I want lawn chairs there damit!).

Giving an Example, please explain where I'm wrong(Not tooKnowledgable on these MMO Physics things):
-Say LOS is raised to Eye level and your Eyes are over the shortbarrier on the Balcony, would'nt thatmean your LOS no longer Blocked and you could shot anything you see from the Balcony?
You may not be wrong. Depends on how the code it. But they could also code it so that it factors as you still being inside the house which could block LoS.
I like the idea. We just need to figure out some safeguards so peope don't use private resisdences as sniper roosts in PvP while making the house private. Or using them as safeguards against melee MOB's.
I can see someone putting a house down in the Krayt Graveyard and sitting on their balconey shooting Krayts with impunity.
you can be attacked on a balconey by NPC's and creatures - I was tef'd while on a balcony and could not get off, but the mauler lord under me could hit me... was killed cause i could not shot back.
if you do allow shooting from balconys you would also have to allow those on the ground to shot back - as it is out doors and if you have a clear line of sight - your target should as well.
now onto a new strafe 2 issue, some people are reporting that the targeting on strafe 2 is messed up today. if you target the lair- you hit the mob and do no damage to the lair, if you target the mob you hit the lair and do no damage to the mob. if this is true it oculd be very frustrating
I will test this later - but as I am headed to a convention in less then 2 hours...
