Another week of crap? What a surprise.

I don't know why anyone needs to be told that... look at the history of releases. When have two sets come out the same month?|

But, honestly, I don't want to start this old argument, so I am done here. I said all I feel I need to say at this point.
One of my subs ran out last week, the other has a couple of days left. No reason to resub at present as there is nothing I want to do in game, I can't motivate myself to level yet another alt when I know that staff will get released at some point in the future.
Obviously stuff is on sale to try and tempt people to spend any points they have before staff is released so that they have to buy more points.

Search is definitely the way to go. I think I recommended it to Nethergoat in his returning player thread last week because any other way is just too slow.|

 Yeah... but some were beyond hopeful. Hopeful is fine. Hopeful doesn't make you rant in the forums every week when it doesn't happen to the point where Zwill has to make a damage control post. |
I am such a horrible leech I let people tell me what is up and what is for sale here and on paragon wiki before I go look myself to get them.
So to all of those who do this for me, I tip my cap.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

That is just a fairly clear example of how myopic it is to think that everyone has that perspective (ie. when have two sets come out the same month). Not everyone knows the history of the releases. |

That is neither here nor there since the real issue concerning that and other things like it is the devs and their failure to fully communication a regular basis. There are daily examples of this from many people here and in the game.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Of course the stuff is there for them to try to get you to buy so the next stuff you buy you need more points for, they are a for profit business.

As one of the new guys here, I didn't know there even was a "pattern" to what gets released. I pretty much go by what you VIP's tell me.

lol
Yeah staff will be released at 24 of April I guess, just before the summit so the players wont throw tomatoes to the devs faces 
I've been waiting for staff fighting since I started playing 6 years ago... I will live with a few weeks before release.

For these one-off powersets, 4-6 intervening weeks is a normal outside of an Issue release. Creating powersets is very time intensive and requires *a lot* of testing after their creation. If people think the Devs can crank out more than 12 powersets a year on top of the free ones and proliferated ones in the 3 Issues a year... they're delusional.
The angst surrounding Staff is from a very loud group that have become hysterical with impatience. An impatience compounded by a player-created leak that alerted us to the existence of Staff way before its time. Part of people's anger should be directed at that guy, not the Devs.
Also, the sounds for Staff were just recently changed to something that people like. If Staff had been released earlier, people would have been howling about the sounds of Staff.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Ok, so your aren't in any way frustrated with the "lack of dev communication" you just talked about. |

You just complain about it.
Got it.
Zwill's recent 'Why U No Staff?!' post hints at the fact that NCSoft thinks its pretty darn early to release another melee set.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was held off until after the pummit, or even if another power-set was beta'd and released before Staff.

So that's what they mean by "staff fighting" huh?|

As for your VIP remark, I will just say that I'm pretty neutral on that subject. I've yet to see someone make a post that made me think "That person is crazy!!"
I don't know. I could be wrong here but I don't recall any week being this lite and with the character slots being half off..it makes me think we may see staff fighting today after a bit of a delay..which has happened in the past.

I hope so, but I doubt it. Marketing seems averse to put stuff on the market that is actually in demand....so the thousand plus points I have on my accounts will remain inert for the moment.

The new marketing plan: Staff Melee will not be released until the sales goal of 1,000,000 notLigers is met!
It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets
... Hit it ...
... Hit it ...

I will though, gives me another week to play my Domi before I have to roll my next Controller alt (if the entire city is going to be filled with staff wielding melee types I'm going to roll a Plant/Dark so I can stand well back and do my own thing)
And good afternoon, lazy bones. Some of us have done a full days work while you've been sleeping.
