Apparently they're still testing the sound effects, as it seems no one can agree what a fast-spinning staff should sound like.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
-- The Fox and the Hound
I can picture that meeting.
"What does a fast spinning staff sound like?"
"I dunno. Oh, hey, lemme go get some swivel chairs and we'll find out."
you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you <3
I'm really not sure why comments like this keep popping up in both the forums and the game.
The devs and community reps have never said that Staff Melee or Beast Mastery would release with Issue 22; they've said that they would release DURING Issue 22.
When asked for clarification, it was said that that means that the power sets will be released after Issue 22's release date, but before Issue 23.
Furthermore, they've outright said that the three Dark powersets are the only ones going live with I22.
There's really shouldn't be anything surprising here.

Delay on staffs will not please the melee fighter, the scrapperholics in the least. And the rest of the players will have to contend with the endless inquiries on "WHERE are the STAFFS?" till they get here.
Its not going to be pretty in the meantime...
Running City of Heroes Panel - Dragon*Con 2012 MMORPG track
Hope they are keeping the set till April to do another pass on sounds and to ad a Weapon pack like they did with TW.
Hey, no need for the accusation of a sense of entitlement. I'd just like to purchase it, even as a pre-order and have it ready to play when it goes live.

Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
Tbh they should change the video on the main website then.
Cause it says i22 now live and below it is a video which shows mainly beastmastery and staff fighting.
So ofcourse people think and believe staff and bm is live now.
And new players who see a ad of i22 do not know that it has been said a million times before , that staff and bm will not be included in i22 launch.
All they see is, oh look that got to be staff melee or summuning wolves/animals h
It is misinformation or how you say it(english is not my

Considering the enemies in game have Staff fighting i dont think its due to sound effects, im guessing with the new dark powers thats out they wanted to keep something back for a short while, while others play the dark powers. - makes sense tbh.

OMG they should do a weapons pack like TW but isntead of it being free at first for everyone people who preorder get it free. The preorder would be priced the same as a regular power set but would be a combo weapons pack/power purchase bundle and then when they go live the combo deal goes up to mid way between buying the two separate.
Basically buy combo at price of powerset early (before it can be use din game).

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
The real reason it wasn't released with i22 is cause now they can sell to everyone and also say it was never a part of i22. You know marketing at it's finest.
This is exactly what staff fighting should sound like.
The truth is they are trying to balance the set as they found it has a major weakness to small sticks.

Staff and beasts are likely to miss this DXP, did darkness control/affinity/assault/whatever make it in?

I'd be willing to bet not everyone has read that Staff and BM weren't coming with the launch of I22. Then there are others that like visuals more than words so in watching the I22 video they'd see those two sets and think they would be available at launch.|

Anyways, if they were to release those two new sets with I22 then they'd probably be hurting the new iTrial as that would have players taken away from it as they roll and level up new toons. In fact I hope they don't release them for another 1 to 1.5 months, rhis way I can build points up...
