Let's look at the features:

http://www.eveonline.com/odyssey/

Exploration site changes

Were 33% (loot spew) reversed and had 66% no impact. The minigame is only more interesting than wathcing cycles if you like cow clickers.

Exploration career missions

NPE changes, didn't affect 99% of the player base and I doubt it's the thing that will pull people in.

Radial Navigation tool

Only works on player or objects in space so it's not a replacement for the right click, only adding complexity not usabillity.

Navy BCs

Null sec production

Tags for sec status

Yaaay for everyone who gets it's sec status screwed by bad FW mechanics and pirates.

Visuals

Eyecandy

Starbase "Improvements"

Nothing too impressive to be honest. Nothing to do with exploration

Atmospheric sounds

A lot of people complained about MWD sounds iirc. Now we have individual volume sliders for each source but that only came in rubicon.

Lore

Dual character Training

Nice if you can afford it

Sensor Overlay

Eye candy only, nothing too useful.

Transition animations

More eyecandy

Space rebalance

Considering Odyssey was all supposed to be about exploration I'd say it failed pretty hard. It did give use probe formations, that's nice but weak considering it's the only thing that had an impact on what they named the whole expansion after.

CCP probably prototyped and developed a lot of stuff behind the scenes but Odyssey showed almost nothing of it.

Looking back is fairly hard because many changes are now just normal so maybe I'm not appreciating the things we got anymore.

I will almost always use this when given the opportunity, particularly for managing drones .
it's probably the thing I get most mileage out of.

While we aren't there yet, I don't think I've ever seen EvE moving so fast in the right direction. It's just my 2 ISK... but things are getting pretty damn exciting. ...kinda blown away in fact.

I am glad I came back at a time when the universe is becoming larger, more diverse and with more danger. Long may it continue.

Yeah, I'm excited to be back at a time when so much is happening.

That said, good things NEED to be happening.

With Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous on the horizon, as well as some very strong PvP fantasy titles recently released and on the horizon, all titles seem to be trying to up their game, out of necessity.
