    Well the idea is to gather ideas based on very vague information, so I think this is okay.

    I suppose you prefer the alternative, which would be not telling us anything?

    well, it IS qualified as a teaser.

    and lets face it, bronze, silver and gold... hmmmmm

    True it is speculative and should not be taken as hard fact, let alone a measure of when.

    sure, hard fact would be nice but I'll take a teaser over the nothingness we've gotten before the age of Jables

    I demand 24/7 webcams installed over the shoulders of every Uber employee. Even when they are off work hours.

    This isn't about vagueness, this is about context. With what's been presented at this poitn we can't produce anything meaningful. We can speculate about things whenever we want, if Uber is trying to gather information they need to provide a foundation to build upon first other wise we could end up building huts everywhere except where they wanted us too because.

    Yes, because those are the only two options available, Hype or nothing.[/sarcasm]

    We don't even need hard facts, all Uber needs to do is provide a solid starting point to drive the discussion in a way that's meaningful to thier own ends, this doesn't do that and this is no different to when they hyped us up about it being a "Big Week" and all PA got was achievements and a reduction on it's Dev team, which as you can guess were not things that were talked about following the hype, everyone was hyped for bigger things and thus "disappointed" by what ended up actually happening.

    Hype just doesn't pan out long term, we should know that by now as consumers and developers within the entire Games Industry.

    On the picture, the "maybe bronze" doesn't look like bronze. It looks more red-ish, while bronze looks brown-gold-ish.
    But...ladders! Exposed!

    Actually: Not so much. It's the same stuff Brad did, and you probably noticed how many wanted to tar and feather him for it. Sharing the ideas behind WIP projects or getting feedback on intermediate results in context is great, but publishing spoilers just with the intent of teasing is definitely not.

    "More details will be added to this as we lock things down :) "

    I'm going to guess that means 1: Teaser, 2: more info, 3: Even more info if possible; 4: Release of feature.

    Though that's speculation, I'd rather have these little teasers than nothing at all. He said it was too early to give in depth information, so the alternative actually would be to say nothing at all.

    Edit: And at least he's giving us a picture, Brad just said "Something cool is coming up, hype" :p

    Ladders? Cool.
    A fix for the 'lobby file is too big for slow internet connections' would also be very nice to have.

    Forget the cola people... do I detect a bottle of *single malt* whiskey on the back of the desk there? This guy has good taste if it is :D It looks like a bottle of Glenlevit...
