While I applaud your enthusiasm, I don't see there being 6 new story branches. Pub/Empire, check can already do that, vanilla. Light/Dark, check can already do that and didn't change story much. Loyalist/Saboteur, just introduced but kinda meh, in my opinion.
Personally, I've been trying to keep my expectations low and be pleasantly surprised. I'm just not seeing it. Granted i'm glad to see new content and will gladly play what I can, but i just don't see this as the soft relaunch that you do. Like I said, I hope i'm pleasantly surprised...
