How about new content though? I don't like the idea of "just the same but brand new" Unreal introduced, it's an open door to lazy rehash of old content with minimal effort/resources to "keep us busy".

They could do a real work on the synch option itself to make it enjoyable to run old content while being synched (why not choosing a difficulty too?), once for all. I have a bad feeling Unreal is going to be considered a "major" part of any patch while of all things it should only be a bonus.
