We're all excited about it, but seriously, the set is not ready yet. It's been on beta for not even three weeks.
You can "haz" when the power set is ready. Soon™

Why make us wait? Because they aren't ready to be released? How does the number of sets in development (that are public knowledge) have anything to do with this?

Looking at the set, what is not done about it?
That's right.
Fight The Power
Patience. There are likely some bugs with it still, but it will PROBABLY be released before I24 since none of that content is on beta and we don't even know WHAT will be in I24 content-wise.

TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!
I will be satisfied if it is before issue 24, then.
And I'm sure people all around are waiting for that one more than the rest of the sets they got coming out.

I like how you assume to somehow know what the rest of the playerbase wants.
Also, I have this strange gut feeling that these sets will be released during the span of Issue 24, not before it. The Summer Event is coming very soon, and I am not certain they will be releasing exciting stuff to detract from that event. I've been wrong before though.

I bet you when you get a vote, more people will want water blast over the other 2. |

This is just based on all the hype people having been talking about in game.
Of course people want the others as well. I want bio armor. Could care less about Nature Affinity.
You know when it comes down to it, Water Blast will sell more. It's kind of obvious.
People have been talking about it for years. And it came into reality.
I'm not just blindly assuming.

Water/Elec blaster.
Conductive Pain
First name that comes to mind.

The testing process. It's been up for not even three weeks, when most sets are on beta for multiple months. The latest round of changes have been up for barely over a week, and it's not yet clear if more changes are needed.|

As you say, lots of people are excited for the set, we want it ASAP, and Paragon wants our money. The set hasn't been finished for months like Staff was. It's not ready yet. We've waited eight years; we can handle another month.
Because they have a release calendar planned out months in advance and have a target date that Water Blast is supposed to go live on. All other market releases are scheduled around that, and have been for some time.
If any mistake was made, it was putting it on beta early enough that people would "OMG WANT" and complain about it. But of course that's a calculated risk, because there might be serious issues found that take time to fix. In this case they got lucky and Water Blast seems to be relatively trouble-free after a few tweaks.
You can say what you want, but nothing posted to the forums will result in a change of the pre-planned schedule.
It's like the devs get off on being withholding.

I honestly hope not. That got pretty ridiculous in terms of how players reacted.|

And I bet you're wrong. Water Blast got hyped to all hell here on the forums with the other two slipping under the radar. I didn't even know what Bio Armour looked like until yesterday, and the only reason I saw it was on suggestion from a friend of mine. Turns out it's amazing! Even when I still played Blasters, Water Blast never interested me. Bio Armour, on the other hand, is stacking armour done right, and indeed Stone Armour done right, at least from a visual standpoint. I've been a staunch defender of Stone Armour's stacking shield graphics, but having seen Bio Armour, that's simply a superior design.|

I've not even seen Nature Affinity yet. I've heard nothing about what it does, either. I didn't even know it existed until a couple of days when someone mentioned it off-hand. I meant to check it out yesterday, but I simply forgot.

They all look great and I personally really like what Bio Armor does when it changes your characters appearence.
But that does not disclude the fact that water blasting is now a real thing. Think about it. Hundreds of people use other sets to mimmick water blast. Yeah, even kinetic melee.
So imagine the idea that its actually there and the animations look great?
It's just one of the things a lot of people have been wanting for a long, long time.

And thousands of people use a variety of sets to depict a power that protects you by biological means. Regeneration, Willpower, Invulnerability... I've used Super Reflexes for this, even.

It is generally unwise to speak for the vast majority of the population if you do not have numbers to back up your claims.

Which is why I'm exaggerating and boasting, yes. I know Water Blast is popular, but I can't accept that it's THAT much more popular than everything else without some reason to believe that.

The other two power sets are also "real things" as they are also being tested on the Beta server at this time just like Water Blast.|

They will all go live when the devs are ready to release them. Not sooner.
Patience is a virtue.
I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...
Oh look, it's this thread again...

Im not in a hurry for Water blast. I love the set, but Im not interested in any secondary or leveling something that is not a blaster so...
Lets hope the release a martial arts secondary for I24 or something.
Okay why make us wait any longer? You got 3 sets in the works. Nature Affinity, Bio Armor, and Water Blast.
There is nothing that really interests me in game being an 8 year vet aside from pvping. I've played through the game constantly, and I've run every trial.
Hell, I dont even pve much anymore aside from trials or new content (soon as its out I go through it and then thats that).
So, Devs, I humble ask you this: I CAN HAZ WATER POWERS NAO?!
Sweet Jebus on a stick, it looks like the coolest set i've seen in awhile. I literally am anxious. Overly anxious.
So when is it going to drop? Issue 24? If so, BAH! BAH I SAY!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
