Are we getting Staff and beast tomorrow?

I keep hearing staff was pushed back to April but I've yet to see actual evidence of this. I figured they'd just come out a week later? Sort of like street justice and i21.

Beast I have no clue on.

WOW. This is really unsettling in reference to Staff as it appears to have been ready for at least four weeks now. Missing double XP weekend is also incredibly frustrating.

Not really understanding the delay for staff at all. Of course you guys are entitled to and will do what you want, just not seeing what the delay is all about...


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

So mad rite noa. I guess I will be playing something else then instead. I got the perfect character and concept for Staff but no way to play it. Was hoping staff could get some of that 2xp goodness.


Bump and Grind Bane/SoA
Kenja No Ishi Earth/Empathy Controller
Legendary Sannin Ninja/Pain Mastermind
Entoxicated Ninja/PSN Mastermind
Ninja Ryukenden Kat/WP Scrapper
Hellish Thoughts Fire/PSI Dominator

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!

So I know who to get a few hairs from: who's idea was it to have a 2xp weekend with two highly-demanded powersets NOT being able to attend? I wouldn't want to make an effigy voodoo doll for the wrong person. That would be almost as cruel as whomever thought it would be fun to have Staff and/or Beast come out after the upcoming 2xp weekend.


Even against certain death, it matters not how or if we fight, only that we do.

Based on the last dev diary, tomorrow is going to be the leprechaun pet in time for St. Patrick's day.

Also listed was the SSA and Beast mastery coming out, so my guess is the SSA will be out next tuesday and Beast mastery out by the end of the month.

Staff, in April.

I'm going to laugh if it comes out next Tuesday. Almost like a cruel joke. Soooo much angst.

There isn't an eyeroll melodramatic enough...

Don't be silly. They still need to re-record the sound effects yet again, to fix the ones that everyone hates that they recorded to please the people who complained about the sound effects being too quiet.

My vote is for "wet fish hitting burlap sack... full of glass".

Not being silly man...Aside from the sounds there is nothing else to work on. They took almost no time at all to make the second set of sounds for it and showed that part is NOT as time consuming as you are trying to make it seem.

In addition, don't try to make this something it is not by attacking me or ignoring the fact I already stated they can and will do WTF they want. Pfft.

I doubt they'd fix Staff's sfx twice, but then again, at this point I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, they have yet to tweak the Titan Melee sfx ONCE. You know, the almost all whooshing and almost no smashing sfx?

Either way, I'm sure there's going to be some excuse or other for having dissapointed people, because that's alway's SO much easier than swinging for the fences each time at bat. Not saying they don't try to go above and beyond, but seems to me they're passing up one HUGE opportunity.

But what kind of fish, and what kind of glass? These are important questions, you can't just gloss over them like that!

They listed the releases for March in a specific order.

Disk
Leprechaun Pet
Beast Mastery
WWD 7

So, it looks like we'll be getting Beast Mastery in a week, and WWD 7 at the end of the month.

Errr, I was agreeing with you...

Cruel isnt it?

Beast Mastery generated WAY more buzz in beta than Staff did.

On top of that, Staff would be the third pay-for-everyone melee set theyve put on the market in a row.

Seems logical to me to release more hyped set before the "not another melee" set.

It would still be generating buzz if they were still fixing it. But everything stopped before the new issue rolled out. It isn't done yet. Or rather, it -shoudln't- be done yet

Yes that's one reason I don't play Titan powerset. Sounds like all my attacks MISS. I rely on sound cues a lot.

Couple thoughts on this:

1.) One big reason, for me, why Beast Mastery had a lot of buzz was (and is) because of the actual attacks that the primary has. Fun and great looking attacks...I mean who doesn't want to throw bees at their enemies?

Plus the huge Hawk attack (which is non-existent anymore)...

2.) I am way more excited for Staff Fighting than I am for Beast Mastery. Also BM was "leaked" so it was "new" compared to Staff where "everyone" knew it was coming....was just a matter of "when" and not "if".

Nah, cruel would have been releasing it in May, so they could make "May pole" jokes.
