What we see on these updates are tiny details - the kind of details that show why this game will be 100 times cooler than anything ever put together before.

I'm pretty sure they've referred to this question of terrain and map specificially as well countless times.

They won't show anything in its full glory. They want you to use your imagination, just to make you think of something "good" and then blow you away with something a bit "HOLY SHIT! *jaw drops*"

If they show everything it won't be fun to wait for friday hitting F5 anymore...
