Ok....It's been on BETA for at least four months. So are they changing the sounds again or what? Not really understanding the delay with this set? Is it coming out this month or not let's end waiting game.|

I hope to goodness this is not related to some surprise bunny vanity pet that would really suck nether parts.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
No staff fighting tomorrow 
*weep*
I'm gonna guess chocolate Easter eggs temp power. Like the snowballs, but... chocolatey.
I'll guess Easter Egg super packs.

Let's review: This thread has already covered the main possible things that are likely going to be on sale tomorrow. If Staff Fighting is off the table then that really only leaves the Lion Pet, the Panther Travel power and the Sci-Fi costume pack.|

Now we've already had a few other "4-legged rig" offerings so unless Zwill is really into either Lions or Panthers specifically then it would seem odd for him to say that tomorrow's offering is his "favorvite". His use of that word implies that what we are getting must be fairly unique and special.
Therefore I'm now highly suspecting that we are getting the Sci-Fi costume pack tomorrow.

Well, my week is ruined. If it is not staff, it will not be my favorite offering.

I'm not arguing against getting some kind of new highly-useful combat power. I'm just saying that just because you might not like X, Y or Z doesn't mean it's not a justifiable thing to be sold in the Market.

Given that it hasn't even been on Test/Beta I find that unlikely; and if it is the result is likely to be pretty buggy.

True enough. Then again it has been worked on by Dink for several months now and has gone through the unique process of being "virtually peer reviewed" by the playerbase already. It's always possible at any rate - costume items are just about the most "risk free" content the Devs can offer us all things considered.

See, this is how you build interest/suspense/excitement. Tell the marketing people no news at all just annoys. They need to learn to tease.

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

This is possible. It could eve be something cool like the rest of the CoT costumes we didn't get. That thought is too good to be true though.

As it's somewhat (in)famous on Liberty now....
Y U NO STAFFS?!
But...is the decision to not release Staff Fighting increasing the chance of fighting between the staff?

I dont think Staff is being kept because is not ready.
Just marketing issues for sure.
They think they have to wait a bit and hold powersets releases.
They release a powerset and a costume bundle almost every month.

I can't rule out one of the cat powers, as Zwill does have a cat in his avatar, but it doesn't seem quite like something that'd be pretty much his favorite. Although, darting and leaping around as a panther is pretty cool.
The Sci-Fi pack would have been my guess (as a favorite of Zwill's), but I really don't expect it to be ready for release yet... Who knows... Oh, right... They do.

Well, with no Intrepid Informer explaining Staff Fighting...I didn't expect it.
Though, I'm expecting the Intrepid Informer sometime this week. Which means...the 17th?
My guess...
Lion - April 3rd
Panther - April 10th
Staff Fighting - April 17th
Super XP boosters - April 24th

Street Justice was pretty much ready upon Freedom launch, but we still had to wait 3 weeks after the official launch for its release (about 5 weeks after the VIP Head Start began). This is par for the course.
And again: they have yet to release two purchasable power sets less than three weeks apart. Beast Mastery was two weeks ago. The earliest anyone should have expected to see Staff Fighting was next week, April 10th.
As for Zwillinger's favorite item: I'm banking on some kind of hat. I don't think Retro Sci-Fi is quite ready for launch, since Dink posted an update just before the weekend, which seems too late to make it into a to-be-published update.

You may be on to something. Maybe panther, perhaps? Zwill does seem to have a cat-theme there. At least it'll break up the dog themes we have with all the wolf powers and the coyote travel power lol.

I know we have at least 2 more four-legged-rig additions in the pipe for weekly releases, and it seems completely feasible that one will be released tomorrow but... I don't even care if Staff is out tomorrow or two weeks from now, I just want them to lay off the new rig.|

On a completely unrelated note: Rufus, I know what your name is referencing, and I applaud your choice of name. Hail, hail Freedonia!
