I haven't heard anything yet, but I'd like to know of any myself.

As an aside, I thought we'd be seeing more "xxx on a stick" character names with this. Maybe it's still too early for this.

I'm actually shocked there wasn't a pack like with TW. Very disappointed with the selection thus far, so much so that coupled with the damage of the set I'm regretting purchasing it.

I have to remember to try before I buy...

Maelstrom's pistols?


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I'm surprised at the limited options for staff as well, and that there are no additional options to pay for. Unless you want a tech polearm or a broom you pretty much just a stick.

For goodness sake, take a look at the other games' options for ideas of what is possible.

Both. They can drop as recipes, but if your character is a pistol user they can be unlocked via the merit vendors in Ouro once you beat TPN.

the 3 most common unlockable weapons were vanguard (before they gave us the vanguard pack) and roman (again before we got the costume bundle)

the only other unlock thats really sought after is rularuu weapons but im guessing that will be a pack eventually too lol

i doubt there are any staff unlocks though since TW had no unlocks that i know of

I'm quite surprised there's not a weapons pack for Staff Fighting. Seems a pretty obvious way to get people to spend their PPs over and above the actual power set.


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

Also Rikti and Crey weapons. And it should be noted that the Roman weapons STILL need an unlock. The costume bundle included shields and the various armor bits, but not the weapons.

Shard Cannon, but I think it only technically qualifies due to you having to be in-game to have a chance to get it from Super Booster 1...

This. I was totally expecting one, and I was totally ready to buy it.

Why won't Paragon Studios take my money?

I've not bought Staff Fighting yet. My plan is to wait till they release more weapon models.

If they don't release more models, I probably won't buy it.

The "vanguard glowie stick" I'd say comes as default - find someone with the Tech staff. Glowie bit near the end, glowy energy blade.

IIRC, the Titan Weapons Pack hit the market some time after Titan Weapons powerset became available.

Dropped same day as TW.

I think one reason we're not seeing a "Staff pack" is because a lot of people took advantage of an error on PS part and got the TW pack for free, even if they never actually bought the TW set.

...that wasn't an error. The Titan Weapons extra pack was offered free the day of release, to anyone that wanted it as a marketing promotion. Then they stowed it for a bit and brought it back at price. No error at all.

Actually, the error was that you could get the pack, even if you didn't buy the Titan Weapons set. It was supposed to be free "bundled with" Titan Weapons. Instead, anyone paying attention was able to snag the resource for free, wether they bought TW or not. This was in contradiction to how the actual promotion had been worded and makes -zero- financial sense, which is why Im fairly sure it was an error, and is why we won't see that repeated unless they can force you to own a weapon set, before seeing additional weapon bundles.

I guess we will see a Weapons pack for Staffs soon...

I think the initial idea was to make it come with Titan Weapons. The coding dudes couldn't make that work, so they tried making it cost zero points if you bought Titan Weapons. They couldn't get that working either, so they threw their hands up, said screw it, and made it free for everybody.

Obviously, "free for everybody" is not as good a marketing thing as "free if you buy the actual set this goes with," but it's not all bad. Yes, you can get the weapon bundle for free...but to use that bundle, you still need to buy Titan Weapons.

I recently did a new (to me) arc in Steel Canyon against the Tsoo and protecting a museum. The boss of that used Staff Fighting IIRC. Does anyone happen to remember if he used a staff that's not available to us?

There are a few weapons that have to be unlocked with PPs spent in the Market. Yes, of course I'd call that an unlock. Not a hidden unlock, but an unlock just the same.
