Target Kargrym, Trial seems entirely unimplemented. No asset, no hitbox.

That's nice to hear! I still think the ability to change the lighting is not a huge ask. It can default at red but just being able to switch it would change this house for me from 'never going to use it' to 'might be my primary'

The new breton roof structures are missing the gable piece and there is a lack of pieces that fit the gap. Colovian gable doesn't fit on it right. The breton roof angled has a spike that sticks out making two of the breton roof angled put togther not fit right either. the breton doorways are too tall to work with the door in the right place and to work with the colovian gable for lack of breton gable. overall the new structural furnishings do not fit together very well and for multiple storied homes create more issues with the plaster wall/doorway having so much extra wood matieral underneath where the door is.

Here to also chime in about the new Breton furnishings missing a gable or seamless way to use the roof pieces. Haven't played around with them too much to see if something else fits, and looks good. But currently, as it stands, individually the pieces are great, but as a set they're lacking.

And as the other person mentioned, the doorways having extra wood beneath them makes placing them on a 2nd floor a bit frustrating to work with. Not impossible, but imposes some restrictions.

The texture/ resolution for a lot of the new furnishings is a downgrade. This is the angled roof.
It looks... smudgy?

I'm excited to get roof pieces. Please fix these before Update 51 goes live. The textures are so bad :c

The "stone" for the Breton Cellar pieces is also low-rez texture. Major downgrade compared to any stonework we've had years ago in ESO.

It once again looks smudgy.

Antiquarian home came out 6 years ago. It has clearly defined stonework with details.

Breton Cellar stonework looks like smudgy clay. Looks awful up close.

Feedback for houses:

I'm still begging to buy an alpine biome plot where I can build something from scratch.

I'd pay to remove the buildings from Forgemaster Falls, Willowpond Haven, Antiquarian, Hakkvild's High Hall (with entrance being outdoors), & Hiddenspring Cottage.


Neither of the 2 new houses are empty plots. We have new structural pieces, but we're not being sold homes to build structures in. My wallet remains unused :C

I'm not interested in Grotto of Desires, but I do hope that future homes do not suffer from how bad the pixel view is from this home.

The drastic drop in quality for structural furnishing textures and skyboxes in homes is concerning.
I hope whoever was in charge of textures wasn't fired. I'm stumped as ESO was supposed to be trying to improve graphics, not downgrade.

This crazy blurred look is a new thing, you can see it majorly impacting Dancing Waters for example

Echoing the sentiment regarding the texture quality of the breton structural furnishings. I noticed this when the Rogue's Refuge went up on PTS and ultimately chose to reskin the interior which cost me a fair amount of furnishing slots.

Some of the new furnishings are great, especially:

• Breton Bust, Veiled
• Sage Voernet's Tome, Replica
• Ship in a Bottle, Yokudan (was a surprise to realise we didnt have a ship in a bottle furnishing before now, seems obvious in hindsight and looks great)
• Fish Bowl, Small
• Colovian Throne, Noble (unsure if there is any intended sourcing for this outside of the crown store and the one you get in the Grotto house - this needs to be craftable)
• Fossil furnishings (I like the mudcrab in particular, the giant sea beast is imo too big to really use outside of some niche scenarios but I imagine someone will find a cool use for it)

We were shown the Bountiful Treasure Hoard furnishing in a stream. I havent been able to find it in-game but I hope it's relatively easily sourced as it was the thing I was most looking forward to. An open treasure chest filled with gold has been an obvious gap in treasure-related furnishings to date.

Breton door, wooden: I don’t know if it’s on purpose but the knob is missing on one side, and the door opens on the wrong side (it must be pulled on the side where there is no knob; and seeing the metal “frames”, it should open the other way IMHO). Or maybe it’s a hidden door? In that case it should be said in its name maybe?





Beauty goddess picnic basket: shouldn’t the cups be empty? It feels weird to me to fill them before taking them out of the basket.

My current feedback will be about the new furnishings. I am glad to see new structural furnishings, even though some are a reskin of Colovian elements.

I would like to congratulate the people who contributed to this piece: Breton Window Frame, Bay



This creates many possibilities in combination with the new windows. The older High Isle, transparent, fits, but is not a perfect fit.


The Breton window, however, fits perfectly, and this is an example of a modular design which is great for building new houses, rather than just patching an existing house.

Like others have said, the Breton door doesn't have a handle on one side, and I want to point out an issue that is common with other doors as well. The doors don't really fit in the door frame. This is probably because the doors in the game world act like portals, and the animation is not important, but they always clip with the threshold or with another part of the frame. Could you please fix this? Here is an example below, where I used the EHT addon to precisely place the door and the door frame, using fixed coordinates and angles, so there is no error from my side.



It is great to see a Colovian throne added, but we still need the desk, as for the rustic High Isle theme.

Another positive surprise, was to see a tribute to Italian art through the Breton Bust, Veiled praxis from Rollis. There are several veiled busts like this, but one of the most known is the The Veiled Virgin by Giovanni Strazza, an Italian sculptor from the 19th century. Congratulations to the team who did this!



I would also like to add that it would be awesome to release a housing space with an empty plot for people to craft original projects. Something like an island would give the most opportunities. Having a flat area without boulders or ruins that can't be moved, would be really great. Or a small crater, to start building from a basement.
