Rumor: Arrival of Ultra Mode is imminent!
The Ocho was--I think--tanking for today's Hamidon raid on Triumph, and afterwards was tossing around the word Ultra (with a capital U) a lot in Pocket D saying we should definitely keep our eyes out for something next week. I immediately remembered this thread, and I can pitch in that today's rumor seems a lot more likely than it did yesterday.

I won't deny, I'm getting excited as hell over this. If it's true, and we do get a peek at testing Ultra mode in the near future, I'll finally get to see just how up to scratch my card is, read about how others' cards are doing, and then finally start looking into upgrading if I need to.

(The Pocket D conversation reminded me of this thread, too.)

I say something is ultra fun and we get a full blown rumor mill
I did say we should have an announcement of some sort this week, and I'll stick by that. What will it be? You'll have to wait and find out. I'd love to give it to you now, but we've got to wait until the appropriate time.
Looking forward to being able to give you more info,

But you'll note that Mod8 doesn't appear to be unhappy about the "full blown" rumor mill.

In any case, I look forward to seeing your news. Any estimate on the day? Tuesday? Friday?

I knew I shouldnt have watched the Herocon vid again! GAAAAAAAH!!! >_<

GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Personally, I'm bracing for disappointment: The announcement that has something to do with "Ultra" is just an official announcement of the news we got at Herocon. We get the specific features and all that jazz, but other than a few new pretty screenshots we don't get anything we didn't already know. The purpose of the announcement is just to have a page on the website to show off to the press and that we can direct friends to.
...Or it could very well be i17 (or i16.5) that has Ultra Mode and a few other minor but cool tweaks (enemies and glowies showing up on maps after a certain number of defeats, etc...)
But over all, I like to aim low and be pleasantly surprised.
I'm reading his post as him playing along with the "I didn't mean that, I just like the word ultra. What did you think I was doing?".

Reading the responses, I'd like to emphasize the word "should". I can't ever promise anything for sure, because there's a lot that goes into making an announcement. We want to get info to you guys, but at the same time we need to make sure any info we get to you is 100% correct. When we don't get it right you folks get rightly upset.
So to recap. We want to get you info, as soon as we possibly can. You guys want info, but you want the right stuff. We're working hard to get it to you, and as soon as we can we'll share more.
Thanks,

I have officially moved on to obsessing on other things to keep from even thinking about GR, ultra mode, or i17..

*Will the sequel to 'Lost' be 'Found'?
*What is the speed of dark?
*Is there another word for synonym?
