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. -

Quote:Well of course it will be at least four months from now give or take a month or two depending when it hits BETA, based on the SF timeline.Originally Posted by Scythus
I can only hope that means we'll actually get Clown Summoning in the not too distant future.

Didn't they get burned by that sort of thing at least once already?
(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. -

By the way you guys are kissing so much butt you can probably tell what the staff has had for breakfast.

Quote:LOL at this! Someone else brought up being trolled by the new DA enemies too.Originally Posted by Denji
Spoiler alert, maybe? But...
I think the worst part about this is... is that when I was doing Dream Doctor's arc in Dark Astoria, he was using Staff Fighting and I felt absolutely trolled. :\
I suppose I can wait another week or two or something. :\

Quote:I encourage Paragon Studios to reconsider/review the weekly on the market policy with a focus on never releasing a powerset that ruins the AI of all of the pet sets. Especially after your BETA testers spend their time to help you all out and inform you of the issues that you acknowledged prior to the release of the set, yet you still pushed it through.Originally Posted by ketch
Spot on. Beast Mastery, as well as many other changes, were completely rushed. Perhaps, the decision to provide weekly updates to the store needs to be revised and focus shifted from quantity back to quality.
C'mon man just review that policy please and communicate better. That is really all anyone is asking for man. -
Quote:Shame? no way mate.Originally Posted by terrible_deli
I'll give myself partial credit. To be honest, once I saw the Liger as part of the April Fools thing, I just assumed the files pertaining to the Liger were just an extreme extension of said joke.
Shame on me I suppose.
I'll take the Black Wolf in a bundle with the Winter Wolf when that releases though.
April-3 correct!
April-10 TBD
April-17 TBD
April-24 TBD -
Quote:Actually not really. I think it is sad that some people are trying to turn this into some kind of personal attack on Z when it was about Paragon Studios and their lack of, and type of communication that was the real issue.Originally Posted by Horusaurus
So...no one even said it was staff fighting. Everyone assumed it was staff fighting. Zwill said negative on staff fighting and made a movie reference. People misconstrued it as being rude. I read it and it wasn't rude. Staff fighting didn't come out and epic rage commences. Sounds reasonable.
To those doing it, the Z victim cheerleading is not doing the legitimate issue at hand any justice and is just as extreme as anyone of the extreme's being incorrectly deemed an issue in this case. -
Quote:Your paragraph is something seen many many times from many many companies this should have been no exception.Originally Posted by Dr_MechanoEU
Yeah...the problem is you basically rushed through a frankly broken set in Beast Mastery onto live which COULD have done with the delay that staff is getting in order to be fixed and released the already fully tested Staff fighting in its place with the explanation of
"Beast Mastery was due to be the next powerset but due to the buggy nature of the set, we're releasing Staff Melee in it's place, we know this makes the third melee set we've released in a row but we'd rather have a fully functioning power set than one which both underpreforms and suffers some major bugs at the moment."
As we are all ok at this point with some kind of communication so that is over, moving forward it would be nice to see that form of communication as it is always more well received than teasing and silence. -

Z is a professional he knows not to take these things personally since they are in fact directed at the company he works for not him.
I am more than sure he finds it amusing that he has a personal cheerleading squad here in the forums, ready to send him love after they try to make him the issue and victim knowing it is about Paragon instead.

Yeah I don't think you could have put together a first episode to introduce new characters and establish what existing characters are doing and it be any different than it was....a little "eh". I totally get it.
Where a lot of us readers are excited is we know where it's going and how awesome or anti-awesome these new characters and existing storylines are going.
As a reader just let me say. Get ready for some awesomesauce to come!

Quote:Pretty much anything above costs to most people.Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
I'm curious... what is the definition of "money grab"?
For me the thing is I DON"T CARE that companies money grab. It is when they try to be slick and try undergrad college marketing psychology 101 on people that already took the course. Some more than 30 years ago...Yeah I am an old cat so what! LOL. -
Quote:I am sure they are counting Dark Assault in the Melee category.Originally Posted by Codewalker
Well there was the whole thing Z mentioned about not wanting to release another melee powerset first. I mean, the purchased powersets have been, what?
1. Beam Rifle (Freedom launch?)
2. Street Justice
3. Titan Weapons
4. ???
So if Staff had been #4 instead of Beast Mastery, then we would have gotten an entirely different kind of whining (Y U MELLE ONLY?!)
Would it have been as bad as this? Who knows. -

Quote:I am right there with you on the old school Kung_Fu motif.Originally Posted by Rocket_Bob
Yeah, I am an old school kung fu movie fan. I have alts all prepositioned for this. It'd be different if there was some functional, in-game reason for the delay. You know, sort of like the reason Beast Mastery should have been delayed.

Quote:Nope nope nope(as the marketing geek rushes into the board meeting). "That would not allow us to set up our four legged rig fix." Meow.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
If that's the case then maybe they should of relased staff melee first, seeing as Beast mastery is a little bit broken and could of done with another months baking?

The single thing that generated the most angst and threads were the Supergamble Packs. I don't believe that Paragon Studios is worried about the perception of the money grab. That train left the station long ago.
They could not be worried about that perception since they have to sell new/updated stuff every single Tuesday of the year. This was clearly understood and NOT perceived that the store was FULL of money grabbing items. Most of us are in fact fine with that, we buy what we want and don't what we don't want...simple.
The money grab issue should NEVER EVER be a consideration in delaying a powerset ready, level bumped and tested four months ago. That is the booty part in all of this. But hey lesson learned right Paragon?

Quote:Yes it is and you seem to be the only one with bunched pink dot panties as you hurl insults for no reason other than being nasty. Good on you.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
This isn't me "blindly defending Paragon Studios."
There are in fact other companies that do in fact communicate much better than Paragon Studios did in the specific case of staff fighting, they(Paragon) in fact have done a much better job themselves last month's post from War Witch comes to mind for one. That alone shows they are capable and they just dropped the ball here.
They need to be told when that is the case and all of us with our underwear in a normal place are telling them about it. Our legitimate feedback is just that and people like you with bunched pink dot panties and tinfoil hats be dammed.
They are aware they messed up and they made a special thread to deal with it. Cheers.
