First Light was my starter zone and also the zone I governed for months and thus it has a very special place in my heart.
Seems as though, at least in all the videos and patch notes I’ve seen, every starter zone has gotten a complete redesign to it’s settlement and/or many of it’s POIs except First Light.
Kinda crazy since First Light is already the most out of the way, untraversed, and unloved of the 4 starter zones. This will just be another of the many nails in the coffin.
Seriously? That’s your takeaway from a big new zone, a massive revamp of the new player experience, and all the changes to the world they did…that because one territory didn’t get a makeover it’s a nail in the game’s coffin?
This suddenly makes much more sense.
They picked 2 cities to revamp and said that once they see how it goes and gather player reaction, they plan to continue with more zones.
Hang in there. 
Also, we do have big long-term plans for First Light but nothing we can announce right now!
Ooooo suspicious!
I’ll be honest, I think First Light’s current design already suits it. Its a beachy town with shacks, a pirate ship and colourful buildings. It’s design is fine.
The problem is that the other starting zones pretty much all looked the same and had nothing unique about them.
I don’t think EVERY settlement needs a makeover, a few suit their design already
I love FL asthetics with ships and whatnot. It doesn’t need revamp. Cutlass Keys needs revamp into proper ‘pirates’ city.
keep on rocking.
FL potentially getting an actual harbor? 0.0
Thats awesome thank you! I think some people think im not appreciating the updates we got. I love everything in this new update and have been playing the PTR for hours! New early questing is incredible. Completely blew my expectations out of the water.
What??? I love all the new updates. I’m not unappreciative. Just want all the territories to get some love. Please consider an ounce of context lol. I am talking about a nail in First Light’s coffin not the game’s coffin.
It makes much more sense now that you’ve clarified what you were talking about.
An important note of feedback I have to give is that a settlement like FL can’t be just like the other 3 starting zones cause it’ll still be the furthest out of the way from everything. It has to have something special and unique to give it reason. Im sure all the devs know this though and it’s probably why the revamp fell behind the other 3 zones. I just love First Light and feel like it has mountains of potential 
I do agree that FL was the most thematically unique of the starting zones before, but that doesn’t mean there still cant be improvements made. Besides, even if the look of the town stayed exactly the same, it now has an incredibly outdated questline compared to the revamps of the other 3 zones.
They probably didn’t have the time.
Let me guess you haven’t played PTR yet?
this revamp is absolutely insane, 99% of the old quests are replaced with amazing quests and they made some incredibly world encounters.
This update is no joke, they really went balls deep with this one.
Scott already mentioned he wants to revamp more, probably the entire game.
And I don’t blame him seeing what they have build.
Let me guess, you just didn’t read my multiple comments directly above yours? Played PTR all day. Love love love all the new stuff with the other zones. Just want FL to get some love too like all the other starting zones did
Glad you liking the new stuff, so am I,
just have some patience I bet they will be revamping other areas too.
True I was mostly talking about the aesthetic because I feel like it already has a pretty fleshed out theme (old wooden buildings, boardwalks, boats everywhere)
They could incorporate more pirate themes though? Maybe anchors, a pirate crew who huddle around a fire, a few parrots perched around town, and/or some treasure chests around town
I would like for them to update First Light too! But they need to keep the pirate ship, that makes First light unique. They could update the buildings though like they did with Everfall, that would fit the pirate motif perfectly. The same thing with Restless shores, keep the ship in the middle. But I would make it less narrow and more like a bay.
