Promised where? If it was GÇ£not so long agoGÇ¥, then it sounds rather likely that it's far too early to want to see it in this patch.
Even so, exploration being made less horrible gives soloers more to do, so there you go. POS improvements and tiercide provides more content for everyone, including soloers. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

I have this sneaking suspicion that you think of GÇ£contentGÇ¥ in the themepark way: more GÇ£dungeonsGÇ¥ to grind, which is not something that will never get any dev attention GÇö especially not for soloistsGǪ What they give is us is tools. A whole pile of them. And then we create our own content. Very little given to us in the last year has not been usable for the purpose of creating content for yourself.

Dark Cloud Dancing wrote:Do you understand the difference between *new content* and *iteration on / balancing of existing content*? Yes: in a sandbox MMO, it's pretty much nil. Iterations and rebalancing means stuff that was useless before becomes useful, because we're no longer talking about GÇ£gear progressionGÇ¥ or GÇ£content consumptionGÇ¥.
Retribution was one of the largest content additions this game has ever seen. The industry alterations in Odyssey stands a reasonable chance of being about as big, especially when combined with the next wave of ship rebalancing.

Dark Cloud Dancing wrote:I guess what I'm looking for is the ways I can do more (i.e. more variety of) stuff in game given limitations on how long I can spend online (RL > game). I like the new crimewatch and duelling systems - as you say, tools to let me find my own content. I'd love more variety of things to do in EVE - orbital flying, ring mining, hacking someone else's POS, deep space exploration - and more tools for explorers and nomads too (because to me that's the essence of any ultimate scifi simulator wannabe, not the blobfest ganking shoot you in the face sh!t a lot of players seem to crave). Well, then I don't quite see any cause for complaint. Retribution gave you bounty hunting and CW2.0. Odyssey will give you exploration and mining wars. And no, they're not just visual updates GÇö they're new sources of competition either by design or by virtue of working completely differently than their previous incarnations did.
If you were into arm-wrestling, and they suddenly change it to include duelling pistols while running a marathon, you'd probably say that it's a new game sport altogetherGǪ

If you answered "No", congratulations, you have the potential to enjoy EVE at its maximum. But a single "yes" means that you're out of luck and this is not your game GǪand yet, people who answer yes to all of them really enjoy the game at its maximum and even manage to become e-famous for it.
