You disagree in the first sentence, yet you agree and admit there are in fact legitimate complaints in the second sentence. That is in fact what I said there are in fact legitimate complaints period.

Yes debate baiting as you also admit that there are people here creating troll posts as you put it. Well mate that is in fact what I said as well so you agree check.

I think you adding in the other stuff is the only issue because the stuff you agreed with is all I am talking about the other stuff is all you.

It has nothing to do with the anticipation of the past seven years for either staff or the rocket pack people. It has to do with the actual readiness of the staff set in January during level bumps to 50 for the purposes of testing the set and the New Dark Astoria end game incarnate content. That is not the same.

Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow, but I am glad you are rooting for people to make it, good on you.....

And they also pushed it live having acknowledged SERIOUS problems with it. Since then we have also had the pleasure of the pet AI being broken.

Those are two completely not equal situations since Staff has been on BETA for months. They level bumped people to 50 to test end game builds vs the New Dark Astoria incarnate level end game content in January. This is before BM was put back on the server in a condition ready for BETA testing.

They then released BM before Staff and before it was ready with problems acknowledged by a red letter AND it broke the pet AI for all the pets in the game. In terms of Staff they either say nothing or tease and tease and tease Soon ™....Very Soon ™....Very Very Soon ™. That is NOT what should be done with a set they know is highly anticipated above all others released in the interim, and was end game testing in January with end game builds. That is whack.

So, it is not the wait alone people are upset about is a bunch of legitimate complaints that have added up to the point where Z had to make this thread to address directly.

Nobody needs to quit, nobody needs to call for heads or jobs, but all that are fed up and have legitimate complaints should be able to speak up free of debate baiting with unequal comparisons.

LOL, not even close to rage....yet...

They were giving level bumps and testing end game Staff builds in the New Dark Astoria months ago. They have teased and teased and teased and teased some more today since then with no real concrete communication in a forthright manner regarding it's release including today with the ANNOYING AS HECK Very Soon™.

ALL of this angst is soooo darn easy to avoid with forthright clear regular communication. We are not children and the it's X-mas eve hints at what is in the box approach to some things being released is extremely nauseating to many many here.

Thanks for the post, but it seems like it is just more teasing with no date and the Very Soon™ deal yet again.

You guys have been on a money/paragon point grab ever since it was revealed that you must do new stuff every Tuesday on the market. Most of us are cool with that it's a business and we want you to make the money etc...

I think it is kind of not cool the way you guys still will not give a date for the release of something that has been on the BETA server since December 2011 and just tease and tease and tease more. That's just straight up booty.

Most people would even understand a delay from the originally announced release date if needed, it happens in the industry and has since the 80's when I first started playing these games. You guys have even done it so I don't know why you are playing the tease game with this set unlike others and that is what is making most that are angry that way.

You see I think this is where Paragon could make some serious steps to improve things and the growing disconnect with the players.

I don't think most players get upset about delays or schedules etc.... they only really get upset when they are not given timely information and in place of that is silence and teasing.

This goes from zero anger and total understanding with information and communication to 100 anger and calls for more communication in an instant. All of this could be avoided with clear regular communication.

The set is coming out April 10th. On April 7th you find a bug that will delay the sets release. All that is needed is to communicate this to us and it is understood by most. Other companies do it and this company can do it as well because they have in the past many many times. Why they are teasing and not clearly communicating about staff is a mystery, but it is also a huge bottle of failsauce.

Nah, they are going to give Clowns the Beast Mastery release with issues treatment.

It is kind of staggering the level of fail involved specifically pertaining to Staff Fighting and the lack of straight forward communication evidenced early on BETA when we were openly discussing the sounds with the devs directly.

Now they are in hiding but only specifically to this set. I mean Z is here almost daily dropping hints about Liger's and such and not bothering to answer one question about staff except for yesterday telling us it is not coming today...failing once again to tell us "when" it is coming, like they have since before I22.

That is some serious failsauce there. A simple outline like they did last month would be nice to have, but not needed as the real question is just when? WOW.....

Good question.

I said you had the right so preach on.

Please recognize that the upset or less than articulate mean this. This would reduce the posts of anger/misunderstanding significantly.

These are good suggestions. Very good feedback.

Anyone can come in here and make whatever comment they want too no doubt. My posts have been a general appeal to the players not to turn on each other for once.

Like I said no need to call for heads(you can if you want), no need to argument bait(you can if you want), I just asked people to please respect each other and allow the feedback to flow without personal arguments taking over feedback is all.

Now to return you to whatever ends up happening in the thread. CHeers.

It has been more than a week so that is not accurate at all.

What is wrong with Z saying staff fighting is going to be released on xyz date this month. I mean really the set has been ready for at least two of the four months it has been in BETA. It was more highly desired and requested over BM and they told us when that was coming, so why not staff.

Like it or not they appear to be playing around and treating this set differently than others mainly by refusing to provide any concrete information and people are pissed about it.

No need to overreact but there IS a reason too react. YMMV.

I was thinking the exact same thing lol.

It would even be better if they fixed the I22 induced rabid dog syndrome all the pets are under now. Fix the powerset pets AI devs....fix the AI.

Agreed.

Ditto.
