However, Staff Melee is in the game currently. We just happen to be on the receiving end of it, and not on the applying end. There are plenty of mobs out there whuppin butt with the power set.
Most of us who read the boards knew it was not coming at the release of i22, but knowing does not make it any less disappointing. Bottom line is the set is fun, really fun. Just like Street Justice was/is fun. So, I am sure we will see weekly calls for it, and lamentations when it is not in the store on Tuesdays from now till it is.
That is not a bad thing by any means. What is says is that the devs did a great job on the power, and have made us passionate about it.
For me, I just hope they release it before x2 xp weekend. It would really stink if they didn't. :/

I agree that, up until now, they've been clear about the sets not being released with I22. But they've created a bit of confusion for themselves with this trailer & announcement. I showed it to my boyfriend last night, and he said, "oh, so Staffs and Beasts are coming in the update today? I thought we had to wait for those." I told him we did indeed have to wait, and he says, "oh, well that's dumb to advertise them as part of today's update, then."|

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. |
The video is a trailer for Issue 22, and the announcement page says Issue 22 is live. They could have been MUCH clearer (in the video and/or the announcement page) that the video showcases powers that are not part of the initial I22 release.

They have said before that many of the animations done are performed/experimented with at paragon studios live. They probably have at least 1 staff already that they have been using.

Yes, god forbid a corporation that's out to make money tries to charge money for a product. VIPs are already getting free powers with i22. They plan from the start was to charge for Beast Mastery and Staff Fighting. They said this quite plainly, so don't act like they're pulling some kind of switch-up on us.

Wait, that was sarcasm too wasn't it? You know that I know that your other post wasn't serious... don't you? Oh, heck.

I have no idea why people are so up in arms about this. I am stoked for the set too... I have had a character made and waiting on Infinity for months! But I somehow never got the idea it should happen NOW or that it would or should be free to me. How did that happen, I wonder?
Here, you all want something really worrisome? Go read the latest Intrepid Informer article. It's about Beast Mastery, not Staff Fighting, and last I checked, they released the power set Intrepid Informer articles prior to said power set going live.
What will it be like when we get Beast Mastery before Staff Fighting? Gosh, there are so many picture memes, I can't pick one...
(Disclaimer: True enough, I posted there hoping for Staff Fighting prior to Beast Mastery, but considering MMs have gotten nothing for a while, Beast Mastery should probably come first.)

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Not sure if anyone's said anything as I haven't read it yet. However, Staff Fighting may not be available for us, it is; however, available to the NPCs.
Imagine my surpise when I as about the rescue Bellarose here and the last Tsoo attacks me after everyone else using a staff with a large nasty blade on the end of it. It was so fast I had a hard time keeping up with the attacks.
I was mesmerized by the beauty of how this fighting style looked in the hands of the Tsoo.
I received about 15 hits or so to get these too pictures because he was pressing me in close making it hard to take a snap shot or two. I finished him off with a Footstomp and Knockout blow.
Current active characters: Dragon Maiden (50+3 Brute SS/WP/PM), Black Widow Maiden (50+1 Night Widow), Catayclasmic Ariel (50 lvl Defender - Kin/DP), Quantumshock (50 lvl Elect/Energy/Energy), American's Defender (38 lvl Tanker - SD/Mace), Spider-Maiden (15 lvl Corruptor - RB/PD) & Siren Shrike (15 lvl Defender - Sonic/Sonic). My entire stable.
I also had the pleasure of a pummeling by a Tsoo with a staff while I was saying "cool" with my mouth open while she was kicking my butt with the staff. THAT is what made me disappointed that it wasn't part of i22 release.
@Joshua.
It's been ready just not for us yet due to their release schedule.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

The funny thing is that no one really minded the movement sounds, they mostly just thought the impact sound effects were too soft. So the Devs altered the movement sounds to sound like an airplane propeller in a sheet metal factory during a windstorm while keeping the impact noises the same. (Okay, i'm exaggerating about the movement noises a bit, but they did make them much louder while keeping the same hit sounds.) |

i make stuff...
Staff Fighting can wait until I have all my badges. Thanks
Every time I see one of those rare staff fighting NPCs I cry and I just keep crying until I log off.
That can take up to several hours.
Devs please help

An angry staff thread not including me? This must change!
Actually, I'm okay with waiting if they add some more spears. Especially the tsoo one.
