Patch notes: Is that a ....!?

[Jojoya]

That's not a glamour dresser, it's a "gem" display case, I think. I'd rather have the little square shadowbox for gems that I see at vendors (it looks more realistic) but I'll take it. Likely will require something like... 1 topaz, 1 star ruby, 1 sapphire, etc to craft. Like the bread rack.

Definitely some sort of display case and not a glamour dresser. Looks like most of the tabletop furnishings in that screenshot are intended for players who have their houses setup as shops.

I will be very happy if that case requires all the level 50 raw gems to craft. I'm still sitting on a bunch on my alt from when she was leveling her retainers.

Bit disappointed that none of the actual issues is resolved yet, eg. max housing items for particulary large house and to an extend medium as well.... but one can hope... I mean it is not like we still should suffer from PS3 lowgrade stuff?

I wouldn't expect to see those types of major "fixes" to the housing system until 5.0, if they're even coming. Getting the fix for interactive items this patch was a pleasant surprise.

I like that's it's thinner than the stage. Maybe I won't get stuck in the middle of it when I inevitably start jumping around. I still want advanced placement options that negate placement labels and let me specify the location/angles of an object though. I'm tired of the 'tricks' and I want to stop eating up time shifting wall shelving units all over the place, getting things stuck on objects while placing others, etc. The information is already stored, we just need an advanced menu with access to the placement numerical values and limit the values so we can't place things clear out of the house (but still in the walls a bit in case we're trying to hide window, replace plillars, etc).

I'm guessing this is a Table furnishing. I doubt it's Wall-mounted, since the pillars would likely cause issues. It does appear to be one solid piece, which is a bit odd since it limits decorating options. Maybe they'll introduce multiple versions, like one that doesn't have the lower outcropping.

Quite a few people are speculating that it's 2 different pieces (4 if you count that people are guessing the stairs are a set of 5 stairs, so the 10 shown are 2 sets). Basically like how we got the garden partitions in a corner and just a straight piece, we would get loft and loft with the (quarter partition?) railing. It could basically be like a huge wall shelf which would give it table properties without actually being a table. SE doesn't normally use glitches in their shots of new items, so it's probably wall mounted.

I don't buy it. Like I said, I really don't think it could be Wall-mounted, since the pillars would cause issues, which means it would have to be a Table, and Tables have to touch the ground (like stairs are in the sample image). If they were separate items, the "bottom" of them would always be free-floating space. Also that middle bit that connects the two platforms would seem like an odd choice to include as a separate furnishing.

Though I'm basing this on how furnishings have worked up until now, and they're definitely doing a bit of an overhaul to furnishings with this patch, so who knows!

Pillars don't cause issues with wall mounted objects unless you try to place the center of those objects over the pillars. I've got a pair of Grade 3 Picture Frames overlapping a pillar in my alt's FC room to create the appearance of square mirrors on each side of it.

The loft itself is likely be 2 wall mounted lofts with a tabletop railing.

The staircase does look like 2 separate pieces used to make a longer stair because of the awkward gap between the 5th and 6th steps that doesn't exist between the others. It could be a wall mounted item as long as the anchor point is the second step from the top, though it would mean we'd have to use the floating trick if we wanted the stairs going the other direction (not a big deal).

If it is a single item, I hope they have it classified as a table for simplicity's sake (not to mention the chance to display tabletop items on it).

Being that the stairs are a specific height does make it a bit more likely. It would be so much better if they had the stairs as an item (about half to a 3rd of the height shown in the picture), the flat panel and the small vertical panel all as separate wall mounted items so people can set the height they want and use them as lego pieces where the creativity of use is more so on the player.

I'm totally going to redecorate my bedroom area with this loft - I don't care if it's all one piece or not. So hyped!

[Felinchen]

I also think the loft is just one whole piece and therefore a "table" item. And I don't mind that. Would even be awesome, so all the loft + stairs only uses one item slot. ^-^ Like that big round table with all those chairs around it, that I never used. xD

But I still hope there will be a second type of loft, smaller maybe but then not with two different heights.

After zooming in properly and anylizing for half an hour, I think now maybe it is more parts, too... the stairs look in the middle (so after 5 steps) a little different in between the steps, than on the others... so it might be 2x 5 steps? oO Well guess we find out soon anyway, but I am really curious.
