I have no "privileged info" but given all the circumstantial evidence there's at least a reasonable chance that it'll happen tomorrow.
If not tomorrow then April 10th or 17th are also good possibilities.
At any rate they'll probably want it out the door soon now that the Issue 23 closed beta is already on the Beta server.

Personally, I'm banking on the 10th. I mean, I would love to see it tomorrow, but for reasons I cannot explain, my brain thinks the 10th is more likely *shrug*

I think the entire keep them blind and dumb tell we "spring it on them" approach is WHACK. But hey it is their marketing team.

April 3 Random 4 legs rig companion pet/stealth power/detoogled travel power of the month
April 10 Retro Sci-Fi costume bundle by the awesome Dink
April 17 Staff fighting
That is my bet for the next weeks, but I would love if SF is released tomorrow more than anything because is the powerset I've been wanting since I started playing back in 2006.
Aren't we also waiting for the Lion vanity pet and the Panther travel power to drop?

Those have good odds, certainly better than Paragon Studios releasing new power sets back to back. I'd lay even better ones for an even later date, though. Beast Mastery needs a few weeks to take advantage of its position as the new shiny before it's replaced.

I really wish it would be released tomorrow. I've seen some beta footage of it on Youtube and was impressed. Between that and the stalker updates last issue, I can't help but feel giddy whenever Tuesdays roll around.

Interesting. I have heard of protection mode, but I think it is more logic than anything, as I am not overly excited about the set. I am not even planning on buying it immediately, as I would prefer to team with some staff users first, see the set in action, and check out some numbers.|

This is me right here. There is nothing in the store currently that I want, and I am chomping at the bit to play staff fighting again. With beta server being closed I can't even get in there to get my fix. |

There is nothing else in the works that would even tempt me. I think I may be done buying things I will never use. Things like animal transformation powers.

But on-topic I REALLY want to play Staff melee ASAP.

Hopefully more players do as you're doing. That way we avoid the "I bought this and I hate it!" posts.|

Having tried it out on test myself, I found it meets my requirements...
1) Look awesome! The only thing lacking is an energy rod style staff!
2) Put out enough DPS to solo AVs (with a build built for it of course).
It met my checks

Having run two toons to 50, a Staff/wp scrapper and a Staff/fire brute I can only think you did not run one during BETA. If you had I think you would number one recognize/acknowledge the AWESOMESAUCE that is Staff fighting, but you would also be chomping at the bit for it too. |

Want to buy more points to get more reward tokens, almost got T8 filled...
But there is nothing in the store I bought lately since Imperial dinasty costume bundle.
Need to buy Staff fighting like now.
im not sure why the stealth power for the panther travel power is there. its not enough for full invisi and you cant stack it something else.
Quote:
TBH, in the case of this Panther power I think the Stealth toggle is there more to test out the pop-up icon tray than for the value of the stealth itself. The Devs have already hinted that they plan to use that pop-up tray feature for other future content like temp powers during trials.

It's my birthday tomorrow, so I'm really hoping PS gives me Staff Fighting for my birthday.
