If they're really worried about a thinning of the player base next week they'd also do a surprise push of Beast Mastery and Staff Melee.

People seem to forget that Paragon Studios did the exact same thing for Age of Conan. They tossed out Issue 12 (the one that gave us Cimerora) on the exact same day that game launched.

March 6th - Issue 22
March 16th - 2xp weekend
Then perhaps around the first or second week of April (just before the kickoff of the 8th anniversary celebration) we'll get Staff and Beast Mastery.
What's extra special about that timeframe is that it'll be like 4-5 weeks after ME3 hits which will probably be right around the time anyone who jumped over to play it will start to get burned out on it and will want to come back... just in time for new powersets to play with here...
Veerry tricksy Paragon Studios.

What makes me really sad about next week is I have a Computer Organization and Calc2 test on the 7th, a project for the first one due on the 11th, a Discrete Math test on the 8th, and a programming project due on the 10th. I'm so envious of people with free time next week.

For what it's worth I don't know how you young people even find the time to play games like this. If MMOs like this existed while I was still in school I probably never would have finished.
Good luck to you regardless.

I am probably the only person who is grateful for said delay, because it allows me to keep refining and improving my trailer for the issue.
Said trailer, with luck, will be done by EOD Friday. I think. Maybe. But now that Beastyle's gone, I don't know who to send it to at Paragon...

I really, REALLY, hope that new powersets are released before March 16th. Otherwise I will have nothing new worth playing for double XP. And I am betting that I am not the only veteran that feels that way.

It also makes sense when you consider those powerset will probably be part of "Issue 22.5" which, if it follows in the pattern of the previous "half-Issues", won't be ready until some time in April.

"Producer's Letter" today, it looks to me like we might at least have Staff Fighting by then.
I don’t want to be too sales-y on this, but since we’re talking about the Paragon Market, it’s kind of a given. March is going to have some cool stuff so l’ll break it down briefly. There’s the Flying Disc which is a fun temp power that allows you to, well, toss a disc back and forth. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, there is a Leprechaun pet that follows you about spreading the luck of the Irish, a rainbow, a few four-leaf clovers, and a nice buff. But I’m sure all you Masterminds are just waiting on the Beast Mastery Power Set, which will include the ability to master the wolves of the wild to enforce your bidding. Finally, we round out the month with the final chapter of the Signature Story Arc in the Who Will Die series. With so many twists and turns so far, what could possibly be left to reveal? You’ll see.
|
I wouldn't really mind if they came ASAP either. But think of it this way: There's only 10 days between I22 and 2xp. If those powersets were "ready" enough to hit before March 16th then they'd likely be ready enough to just be included with I22. Based on that simple logic it would seem that those powersets probably need at least 2-4 more weeks after I22.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
It's hard to hold any specific dates to this, but based on War Witch's
"Producer's Letter" today, it looks to me like we might at least have Staff Fighting by then. Not that Staff is specifically mentioned here, but we know it's coming before Beast Mastery, right? And if we'll have that by the end of the month (the 20th, if the order things are listed here is accurate to the release schedule -- and I know it might not be, but phrases like "finally, we round out the month" sure imply that it is), I expect to be able to beat people with a stick before St. Patrick's Day. |

For the record, I'll be on CoH on the 6th. Think I'll hold off on ME3 until it hits steam.

Steam and EA have had a falling out remember so some of their titles will no longer be carried (Dragon Age 2 for example).
side note: Sucks that the major game retailer in the UK isnt going to be stocking it for financial reasons.... RIP Game/Gamestation
Oh there's no way it can compete against ME3. I will say I'll be playing CoH that day, however.
|
Heh, I had no idea other games are coming out on March 6th.
Then again the only games I play are CoH and TF2.
I feel so old when I'm not "up" with the new games...
