New content isn't so much as new as it is tweaking and fixing the end game a bit. It's definitely an improvement, but after 6 months of no content this is still not exactly much. People will be back to complaining in about a week or two when everyone is already up to 335.
I'll probably run a raid and challenge of elders tonight. I did Nightfall, Court, 41 PoE, and the new quest line last night. New story mission and strike were recycled areas about 3 rooms long with just killing waves of taken. New boss was pretty straight forward but overall pretty fun. The Taken sword is cool and a great use of a heavy slot, basically completely replacing the legendary void sword. The 41 POE was the exact same as the 28/32/34 and the boss was the giant knight. Was a slog and was really boring.
New players to the game definitely get the most benefit of the new content, as now they can enter LL260 POE and Heroics, and the Raid gives smart loot. It will be much easier to max out and more things to do. I was 320 before the update, so Challenge of Elders is basically the only new element to end game added.
Ranking up factions and Vangaurds feels rewarding now too. I received a 324 gauntlet and 323 ruin wake from vangaurd leveling. I ended up reaching 321 for the night. The grind is real, but I've heard Kings Fall is by far the fastest.
