So, concerns expressed on PTS about potential rain in the longhouse on consoles was not heeded, and they released Forgemaster Falls with a longhouse that is just a structure, as opposed to making it an interior space. PTS testing did reveal that it did not rain in there on PC, but of course, there was no way to test this for consoles. It started raining while I was previewing the house this weekend, and sure enough, when it started to rain, the longhouse was not waterproof on XB.
I was also finally doing some extensive decorating at the Exorcised Cottage and was finally there when it started to rain. And yes, it rains inside the cottage.
@ZOS_CullenLee Would you please note that structures on consoles are unable to keep out the rain. Please also pass this along to your fantabulous house designer that you could not praise enough on your recent ESO Live. Please either fix this problem on consoles or ask your designer to please NOT put structures in houses that are incapable of keeping out the rain on consoles. Either make them interior spaces (which SHOULD have been done with the longhouse) or just not include them.
