Been playing around on Test for about the past half hour with the new Heritage Collection items, and (since I'm banned on Stratics) wanted to post here with some personal observations so far:

Fruit trees -
I was really looking forward to these perhaps the most. I figured they would require a one tile border all the way around, and imagined I could place them on the very outside corners of my classic large tower's steps (large towers are the only houses where the front steps are two tiles deep, not one). However, they won't place there. In fact, they won't place anywhere but the rooftop. I understand why they won't place inside with a floor above them, but I'd think they should be placeable on the corners of the front steps on a large tower. Huge trees just aren't..well..believable on a rooftop like that, or maybe it's just my disappointment.

Curtains -
These are really, really great in a large tower on the second and third floors where you have the archway seperating the rooms from the area where the stairs are located. Unfortunately, the curtains display a partial "UNUSED" tile on the floor in the center of them. This is present when the curtains are both open and closed.

Wall torch -
This was another one I was looking forward to...but the lit torch isn't animated! It's static, and it just really ruins it I think. Unlit it's fine. Is there no way to have the lit animation?

Rugs -
They look great, and are something we've wanted a long time now, but they're only 3x3. I'm guessing people will be able to break them up using gozas and then combine them with others to make larger rugs, but only for custom house owners who can do that trick. I'm going to try this later on.

Other than that...the menu for choosing items from has many megacliloc errors..string not found..and the graphic for the cauldron is missing from its button in the selection gump as well.

I haven't had a chance to take a look at the heritage collection items, but I saw something that you'd like from the latest patch.

Updated look of the Shadow roof tiles
Crystal and Shadow roof tiles now show up on the radar map
Added new art to allow the Heritage curtains to open and close
The Heritage wall torch now animates
The Heritage wall torches now give off light
The Heritage trees are no longer bare in Felucca using the 3D client
The Shadow Banner is now partially hued to allow it to be dyed
Added new cauldron art for Heritage selection gump
Fixed a piece of the Crystal Altar that wasn’t added correctly before
Fixed a Crystal and Shadow door that players couldn’t walk through
Fixed bug with Shadow arches that was not allowing them to be committed if they stood alone
Updated text and localization
Bump version to "5.0.5b"

Just caught that upon logging back in. They also fixed the curtains (look nice).

However, the fruit trees are now displaying with the limbs on the outside of the foliage.

I guess I'm turning this into a running bug thread for 9AE items. Anyone else?

The ladders aren't quite working right either, but somewhere, somebody said they were working on it.

I suspect there are still a few things they will fix before release, and I sure hope it's those fruit trees, as they are my favorite.

I'm going to ask here, only because I'm too lazy to test it out myself. If I placed a heritage tree in a Felucca home, would the leaves show?

They fixed them to where they display their full foliage in both facets, aye. The trees actually give fruit as well.

seems to me like your one of those people that pick out the real bugs you dont just get on here and cry about how deco sucks and want more over powered items and i think thats very cool of you, keep those eyes open and hopefully the devs will listen to you.

I agree Cerwin. He plotted out a good "bugs" plan. He didnt just get on here and say "this sucks, I dont like it, gimme something better" Instead he pointed out exactly how they were faulted and made suggestions. Kudos Terrance!
