What do you expect, they ARE IN the same zones, do you want new everything so you have a little patch that doesn't fit visually? There are new things in there, new arts and items, some pasting, but it's going to happen, always will, all MMO's do it. When SE is not scrambling with fixes and enhancements to keep players and bring back players you will see less and less of the cut and paste and more unique items. For now, It's content, It's something to do, and it's AWESOME!

Loving the look of the new settlements! I'm excited to see what kind of content is gonna come with 'em! Almost to patch day :D~

They aren't reading it anywhere, but because you didn't specifically say there was content there some people assumed there wasn't any and the 'there is no content' rumour spread.

Me, I assumed there was, probably because I am stupid.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but wasn't this update suppose to come last month?

Im willing to bet £10.00 that everyone complaining about copy/paste also plays Minecraft.

People jumping to the worst conclusion possible, thats all.

At first glance I thought I had read "I'm a parody". Brains tend to accomodate what we read to our own ideas about the reading, you know...

PS: Indeed, my brain has decided to correct that "it wasn't trolling" part. Negative status wasn't making sense. Now it fits better.

I'm hoping for some good quest chains to start in the city and eventually lead out to the outposts, then eventually open up repeatable party quests!

content related to them or do they provide content???? i havent seen the settlements do anything yet.

We needed more empty placemarkers in the game. Clearly we didn't have enough useless npcs in the hamlets.
