So this gives me an idea of what new housing feature is coming in Q3...

Sir Tanks a lot

Are you all thinking what I am thinking?

I hope this means we will be able to save our housing setups on console. We need backups in case of unforeseen issues that might occur.

I don't use any addons, what feature is this about? Not the carpet thing right? The only thing I know about EHT is it changing textures of things or something

I would be excited to have the EHT feature where we can perfectly line up structural furniture with one another.

Such as placing multiple castle walls next to one another on the same Y and Z axis. Simply next to each other along the X axis.

The add-on also allows this for placing structural furniture on the Y axis. (Keeping Z and X the same)

Another aspect is being able to dictate how many degrees we want something slanted (when building a roof, for example)

The add-on also allows us to build things like spiral staircases, domes, arches, etc.

EHT has so many tools that I'm not sure which ones we will get.

Hopefully, it's not EHT's annoying feature: the guest book.

When I read that it's supposed to be a "pretty cool" housing feature that they're extremely "exited" about, then I expect more than anything purely practical or functional (like the alignment of walls). Maybe something more like assigning emotes to houseguests. I would like something that gives you a reason to travel to your house, like growing plants that you can then use in alchemy and cooking.

I grow plants in my Enshrouded homes. Love it.
I'd be very happy to have a bunch of potted plants in my ESO homes. Even 20 more furniture slots that are pots to grow plants in would be nice.
But considering the item limit problems that ESO has... I don't think we're getting any type of gardening.

I would love it, but I doubt it. 😔

Personally, I'm going to be pretty disappointed if the "new housing feature" is just a QoL update for furniture placement. Unless they're actually releasing a whole Sims style building system where walls and etc don't count as furnishings, but I doubt that. I'd really like to just see more features that give homes more function and legitimate use.

I'm praying for a furniture bag

Just FYI, the hiring of Cardinal05 was many years ago and we've already benefitted from EHT things being built into the game, like grouping & precision editing.

Loved seeing the article (super feel-good story, coder makes killer free addon and gets recruited by the company). It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Now if they'd just do the same with a trading addon author or two!

i hope for a furniture bag too but ust adding a little furniture bag to your inventory isnt really an announcement worthy and important "q3 big housing update"
