(rant-warning)Staff Fighting - Give it here allready!!

I'm getting so frustratedly fed up with waiting... Honestly..

The set was obviously ready enough to be put into the game in the hands of NPC enemy groups, it's been functional on Beta for ages.. Why was it held back in the first place?
When are we getting it? Why havent it been released weeks ago?

at the VERY LEAST you could answer those simple questions, especially about -when- we're getting it...

Staff Fighting was, by far, the most anticipated new 'item' of i22.. You advertised it to be PART of i22 launch.. then you never gave it to us!? Get on it!

Stop mucking about with Vanity pets and stuff, sort out the things that you yourselves said would've come with i22 THEN you can do that other stuff..

/end rant

Here here.

I WILL admit, they did say it'd be part of i22. So either i23 isn't as close as we thought or staff will just be a launch item with it. I'm willing to wait if they add the spears the tsoo use in DA to the staff choices.

It will be out 24 April I guess...
Just before the summit so the players wont throw tomatoes to the devs

Marketing feeds on your tears.

Delaying staff for a month to release Beast Mastery will provide enough to sustain them for many years.

*rolls eyes*

Beta just started last week. We have, by my guess, another 6-7 weeks left before Issue 23 goes live. That's plenty of time to release Staff Fighting still.

you got to be kidding me, another week with no staff fighting? whats the deal with the devs making us wait this long, we have been waiting for staff fighting since last year! and we aleready see that some of the NPC have it already, so whats the hold up? is it the way the staff sounds like thats keeping them from releasing it? thats got to be the dumbest excuse ever, who cares about the way it sounds, as long as its working well they can easily change the sound effects of it after its been out on live servers, seriously if i have to wait another week for something that is CLEARLY ready to go live, im just going to stop playing until it comes out

The amount of self entitlement flowing around these forums makes me laugh. Its funny because some of the same people that belly ache now about the lack of goodies are the same people that played the game 2 years ago and said little to nothing when new stuff came every few months when lucky and not every week.

For the most part, I agree here. Enough is enough; sitting on a set that's been ready for months is doing more damage to player goodwill at this point than releasing it too soon after Beast Mastery would do to sales. However:

That's been answered: sometime in April.

EDIT: Scratch that, it's not coming "sometime," it's coming NEXT WEEK.

It was actually specifically pointed out, repeatedly, that Staff Fighting would not be a part of i22, and would be released sometime after the issue's launch. They were on Beta at the same time, but that's it. Staff was always presented as a separately-released, separately-purchased element, completely segregated from any issue. Nobody ever told us it would be a part of i22's launch -- they said exactly the opposite, in fact.

And if we had gotten Staff Fighting already there would be a different thread in this one's place about how the devs are doing nothing but melee powersets.

There have already been threads with that subject.

If I had to guess, it isn't out yet because the devs don't want to release 2 power sets at the same time.

Zwil already posted that it'll be here next week, so everything's cool now

It's a slap in the face is what it is.

They delay purchased powerset sales so that they don't steal the thunder from each other.

How many people do you suppose bought Beast Mastery when it came out?

How many people do you suppose will buy Staff Fighting when it drops next Tuesday?

Now... how many people do you suppose would've bought each one if they came out together?

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Staff-Schmaff ... Deal with it...

I just want Staff Fighting to come out so I can stop hearing people complaining everyday about it not being out yet. Fortunately that'll only be one more week.
