To be fair, all it said was that they're not launching "with" I22. I haven't seen any confirmation that Staff isn't coming this month. So unless I missed something, all we know for sure is:
- Staff Fighting isn't part of I22 and never has been. (Because it's a purchasable, you-can-only-use-it-if-you-buy-it-from-the-market powerset and not part of any specific issue any more than Titan Weapons or Street Justice were.)
- It wasn't mentioned one way or another in War Witch's letter in which she outlined, in somewhat vague and non-specific terms, the planned releases for March.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

And it seemed like pretty much a foregone conclusion that they wouldn't release them right before 2xp since then it would basically be dogs-chasing-sticks weekend.|

Unfortunately, Staff mastery or new iTrials/slots are the only things that might get me interested enough to actually bother to play the game instead of [Redacted]

It's really going to be a tough decision for me. I mean, legitimately so.
On the one hand, it's the Darkness Control powerset (and porting of Dark Miasma into Dark Affinity) for controllers that I've wanted since 2005 or so.
On the other hand, it's Mass Effect 3.
Tough choices.

Apparently it was a part of the parent group GAME too along with gamestation and gameplay. There goes my N7 pre-order!, I've had to resort to ebay prices.

Understood although as stated they always said it was not coming out with I22 launch. In your defense Staff seems like its been ready on Beta for about four weeks now and the holding back of it seems totally artificial.

The Leprechaun pet is ready, but it's going to be released around Saint Patrick's Day - and the lion pet is also ready to use, but it won't be available until its scheduled release date.

I can respect this, I just wish we could get a specific date for for pay stuff like Staff Fighting. Having taken marketing 101 more than twenty years ago I understand why they don't announce the date early. Bugger.

Bah...
I knew Staff Fighting wasn't included with Issue 22 but I was still hoping for it to be released the following week.
I was so hoping to roll my new Staff fighter in the wave of new toons being made during DxP... Drats.
With no interest in the other offerings, aside from a passing glance in DA...
Meh. Wake me when Staff finally comes to market.

Don't be upset, it's entirely possible that you just missed it, a lot of the mentioning was echoed word of mouth, like it is for a lot of things. For those of us who did hear it constantly it's a little frustrating to hear of someone who missed it completely despite all we heard.|

It's also not something that would be that big a deal even once it hits live. You still get the awesome powerset same time everyone else does.
By the way staff fighting stalkers are freakin amazing. No seriously try one out (on beta if you can't wait!) you'll love it.

Well, considering they said Beast Mastery wouldn't be launching with i22 from the very first leaks, I think that this shouldn't come as a surprise. Staff Fighting's a bit of a surprise on the other hand, though there may have been the same warning on that and I just missed it.

I figure as long as Beast Mastery and Staff Fighting drop before 2xp weekend (which I REALLY think they will), I'm a happy camper.

Bah for my taste one week too late. ME3 has priority. Drowngraded my account to premium again.
Not playing until the 2exp weekend and the better release staff fighting next week or
And a release on the 6th gives us JUST enough time to get settled in before the double XP weekend later in March.

Actually it was the ending of the Spring Fling event and the announcement of the Double XP weekend that pretty much confirmed it for me that I22 was going to be launching right around now weeks ago. All of these things are scheduled together for a reason. |
