I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I popped on to the PTS to take a look at the new stuff for housing and... gosh, there's not much. The new Telvanni items are lovely and I appreciate them and the Necrom archecture is beautiful and it's always wonderful to see more Telvanni mushroom towers and - especially - the way the rest of the folks not lucky enough to be archmages live - but -

Uh-

I'm not alone in hoping we would get a bunch of architectural items in Necrom and Telvanni style! There's a bunch of people I know that had shared my hope that since High Isle brought us a delightful selection of building pieces in the Breon style that this year would find a comparable bounty of Dark Elf lego bits to play with! You can currently kind of fake a Balmora-style Morrowind settlement with a great deal of effort and a huge waste of item slots, but there's very little that looks appropriate if you're trying to build a Telvanni structure, and it's a little sad in the end to say 'look at my beautiful Morrowind plantation - just kind of close one eye and pretend the Breton knotwork detailing isn't there and the doors are the right shape -'

Anyway, I don't want to join the chorus of sour voices that rise in waves of despair every release to gripe about each change made and not made, but it would be really really nice if, in terms of housing items, High Isle was less a one-time thing and more a pattern for the future! I know I'm not alone in having a deep fondness for Morrowind - its popularity is probably why we're going back there this year! - so I hope we can get some tools to build in Dunmer style this year.

TL;DR - gib dark elf structure bits for house, plz

    Agreed. Necrom looks beautiful and I want to use those pieces to create my own things (some basegame Dunmer stuff wouldn't hurt either).

    It's no longer that amazing when you keep in mind that there will no be new furniture blueprints in fall as in beds/tables/... we got in previous years with the release of the new region in fall. Because there will be no new region in fall. Just that endless dungeon.
    In that regard I'm glad they wait with the structural blueprints a little, for then there will be at least those to look forward to in q3/q4. It was so boring in Elsweyr when all blueprints came with Northern Elsweyr and no new ones with South Elsweyr. TBH I hope they find a way to release some more new blueprints later this year, even without new region.

    sure but we also don't actually know what the endless dungeon's rewards are. it's totally possible it'll have furniture

    I hope you're right! High Isle's furnishing drop was so lovely in its scope. I honestly wish they would go back and make structural pieces for the themes that never had them; the base game styles, Wrothgar and Elsweyr, etc.
