Summerset on the world map is currently inconsistent with other visitable zones

Note: I also posted this in the respective megathread but I'm making a separate thread for visibility and discussion.
the Summerset Zone in the world map is not consistent with the rest of the zones in the game, as it stands currently it looks like every other non-visitable zone in the game.
Every other visitable zone in the world map has these attributes:
1. a darker shade than the base map
2. a slightly transparent picture of the actual zone map on the world map's zone button
Summerset has exactly none of these, and it looks just like it did before you were able to visit it.
for comparison, here is what Summerset looks like on Live:
Here is what Summerset looks like on PTS:
Now compare this to Vvardenfell's zone map button, before and after:
There is a clear difference and contrast here, and Summerset's zone on the world map should be changed to follow the conventions for every other zone in the game, as for a new player it is not immediately clear that you can visit Summerset, it looks the same as every other non-visitable zone in the game.
This problem presents itself most obviously when you look at the Summerset zone on the world map next to the Auridon zone. Auridon is clearly visitable as it follows the above rules, it has contrast compared to the rest of the non-visitable zones, it has the full zone map transparently overlaid on top of it and it is darker than the base map.
