Well, Dream Doctor wasn't an enemy, though. He helps you with the stuff you have to do out there and he had a torch-looking-kinda staff that he uses.|

As a side note, I did notice the enemies in DA that use DP, Titan Weapons, and Street Justice.

Is staff melee coming out next Tuesday? |
Staff is currently slated for April. That's about as specific as I can be.

As for the topic at hand.
Paragon Studios has released many items that we would have never seen due to the Paragon Market. I may not like everything they put out, however just because I hate it doesn't mean its not desired by someone else who will love it. I am not a big fan of vanity pets but I know many people that love them. I also know people that have no want or use for Staff Melee. I however hope as each Tuesday approaches that this week will be the week. No one is right or wrong on this, its all opinions. However we should not slam people for their likes or dislikes because it does not jive with our own.
Also a form of whats coming up for the next month on the website would be cool.

Edit: Could there be a section on the Paragon Market itself for a "whats coming soon section" showing the next few weeks releases. It would be ingame and allow everyone access to it without forcing people to the Forums or Website.

I'm not interested in them, either. However, if the team were to actually come out with the vanity pet from the April Fool's post, I wold probably buy it. |

Perhaps I'm privileged in the fact that I can see that there is a significant portion of our Community who is excited by vanity pets and show us so. It may not be good for me, but it's good for other people who really enjoy this type of content.

I guess we all have our weak spots. I don't like stupid. Ridiculous, with a dash of wit, I enjoy a great deal.
- We've known for a good month that Staff was being released in April.
- People were constantly asking in March why it wasnt here yet.
- First week of April and people asking/demanding for a reason why its not the first item in April.
- People complain that items are being released that they dont want at the moment.
- People should take a step back and look at the amount of items we've had [both free + paid] since Freedom. I think 7 powersets so far in less than a year?
- People are funny.
] was a non purchase for me, after seeing so many people in Atlas with it and thinking to myself that it actually looks pretty cool, im tempted to purchase it!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

People are a lot less funny when they are not teased and ignored.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
I'll just say this: Anyone paying attention to the Market releases over the past few months knew there was no way Staff Fighting was coming out just two weeks after the last set.
My best guess? The 17th.

I'd be okay with it. I'm just starting to see a pattern of "They never said it'd release in x month" that may go on up until the summer.

Maybe if we got melee sets as free to VIP sets instead of things like Time, Dark, Electricity that perception wouldn't exist, except I would bet that the big money lies in the melee sets. Catch 22 situation. |

At present there are quite a few more non melee sets to purchase than melee sets as far as i'm aware.
All of the melee sets are about being sturdy and doing decent damage. Of course people will want a lot of that. It pleases casuals, and the hardcore people build their melee character to be tough as a tank and as deadly as a missile.
Definitely lots of money in it. Maybe there should be turns in "Free for VIP" set types?

I thought it was less the apparent readiness of BM and more that it would appear most players don't care to play MMs. At least that's my experience with MMs. They seem to be one of the less played ATs, not because of weaknesses, but due to play style.

I, for one wasn't expecting staff to release this week, but I do understand the frustration that people are feeling over this. It is especially understandable given the apparent unreadiness of BM. Personally I think that the new dark powers would have been enough of a break in melee sets to allow for staff to be released ahead of BM. The apparent rush of BM from introduction thru to live does make me wonder if maybe one devs ideas get more attention/preference than some of the others?
As for the release schedule idea, I like the monthly producer's letter that we got last month. Not giving exact release dates, but a general idea of what is coming for the month. Word-of-mouth in game propagation would be more than enough to get the information to non-forum users. |

(Or even release order... remember the SSOCS that... er... never showed up that was supposed to take some sting from ED? Instead, we waited for Inventions.)
He was pretty over the top so give him a minute or two to cool off.
