Wildstar Open Beta - My House Update

So, got a few more hours to play this and spent some time focusing on housing a bit more, so here is an updated shot:
As you can see it's dark. This isn't because I took the screenshots at night, but I change the sky to Northern Lights.
While it looks nice, the level of darkness is affected by the time of day of your plot. During the lighter times the visual light is brighter, but when it's 'night' the area gets really dark. This wouldn't be so much of a problem, but the outside lighting options that you can purchase from the vendor aren't very bright. Given I'm not wanting to buy tech lights, I would like more options for things like an open fire and perhaps Tiki torches. Maybe there are ones I can make later on, I don't know.
Hedge Maze
Garden
Festival Tier 2
Moonshine Anyone?

I found I got most of my FABkits (they allow you to build these various plots) mostly from doing challenges or from mob drops. A few (like the Moonshine place) can be bought ingame, while the Festival one came from leveling my Path. Speaking of Path, I did get one decorative piece as a result of leveling up:
Gold!!

As you can see, I have altered the furniture in the house slightly. I do hope that at a later date (I believe level 35) you can get a bigger house with a bigger interior. I also hope so as there is little room in my current one and being an Aurin house, the room is very round and difficult to flatten items against the walls.
I like how things like cups and stuff don't seem to have much effect now, but I bet that once you add more things in you could appreciate the details better.

Overall, I've enjoyed playing around with the decorating and it is alot of fum (well, that climbing challenge for that crystal rock thing was irritating), I am looking forward to what I can do upon release.
