    It should be soon.

    The TT 4-1 content update hit PWCN on 2018-08-21 and hit PWI on 2019-01-09, 4 months and 19 days later.

    The new classes were released in PWCN on 2018-10-31 so if the pattern holds we are scheduled to get that on 2019-03-19.

    This other class balance stuff was released in PWCN on 2019-03-05 so is scheduled to arrive here on 2019-07-24

    I hope they're letting the updates stack up a bit and then just dropping them all in 1 bigger patch, I think they've done this before.

    I would also say it's almost due. Tho sometimes with how things are it could vary.

    Hopefully we will get a bit of warning this time.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a you problem, I got no problems in getting it work. It also has sightings from today for every server but Ti.

    @tek1nig Be sure you are using http://asterpw.github.io/pw/homesteadnpcs/ and not an "https" address. I never added https support. I can probably fix that but am being lazy about it for some reason.​​

    I dont think the new class will come out this maint for a couple of reasons. I think it will be much later like maybe late spring/early summer

    1. PWI never did any kind of previews or pictures or something of the new class like they did with the Nightshades and Earthgaurds.
    2. If it was today they would announce Maint for this special patch or start it early as it usually takes 6-8 hours.

    Still offtopic, but @asterelle is there any chance you could add https support? I've realized that the wiki links to the https version of your site even if we use http in the URL and there's no way around it, so the wiki is linking players to the broken version of your site.

    To be on topic slightly...hopefully we'll get some notice before the new classes come out. It was a bit of a nightmare when the last content update came out without any notice.

    Also @hareclion there is a discussion on the two new classes here: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/pwi#/discussion/1209308/2-classes-added-in-pwcn-technician-and-edgerunner

    @obielle I hit a problem with my php provider not supporting https so I just redirected https to http.
    Links should be fine now.

    Two new classes is a much bigger update than TT 4-1; I wonder if it took longer to translate the update and that would explain why its being delayed vs previous updates. We also haven't seen even a tiny hint of a news post from GMs regarding this, which further makes me think we are still weeks or a couple months away from this update. Previous large updates had at minimum 2 weeks notice I thought. Does anybody think differently?

    I thought that 1.4k *orb* spend promo is more than enough to hint us about new classes coming out very soon.

    previous updates had these notice yeah, but possibly the gms were more active with exchanging news with the pwi community. haven't seen a post from them in ages (whether it's this update or something else).
    in my opinion it's therefore hard to tell how far away we are from the update. i hope soon of course xD

    So people who expected the update now write about the delay? Seems people get more stupid by the day. :D

    Personally I don't need hints and I'm not in a hurry to try the new classes. If it's here, it's here. Expecting the news post once the classes are available. Also Google can be our friend if we want to know if the classes will be used as a bot for spamming like we've seen with the veno's. It's not important but if that info is indexed we should expect the 'so called update'.

    Current GMs are too lazy for this. I'm not sure they'll add any hints about upcoming new class update.

    Eh if I’m going to be completely honest I’d much rather they finish 3rd cast R9 sets for the new classes before release as sb/db didn’t have 3rd cast for quite some time after their release.

    On a side note I’d much rather they add rank 9 third cast into the repository before releasing a major update such as this one... Rank 9 3rd in repository would open up a whole new meta to this game and I’m honestly looking for a change of pace at this point.

    But, hey let’s rush new classes out first before fixing the previous update. Good to know that the community has their priorities straight. Lol

    Considering the amount of time one actually needs to get new toon up to date, I am not slightly surprised ppl who want to re-roll want the new classes asap. They are looking quite a long time before they can enjoy their classes in PvP and as such the sooner they are released, the sooner they can get their fun.

    As for repository, it seems like incredibly easy to fix and arguing as if we are choosing between new classes and repository is idiotic. Its not bout it being difficult, its bout devs caring enough to give us our set bonus in there.

    I also am of opposite opinion bout R9S3 sets. While it would be great they were there on release knowing several ppl re-rolling, the faster the new classes come out the sooner those ppl can start working on their levels/boundaries/cards/etc. Things which are gonna take time.

    Edit: Though it matters not what we want but what the devs want. There is supposed to be patch this maint, when pushed for further information the GM didnt really respond further. Though GM might of understood the question "is there a patch tonight" as "is there a maintenance tonight" judging from the reply. Either way there is pretty good chance expansion drops tonight.

    To add to my edit, we got pretty sizable patch or my connection was being terrible. Took me 5-10mins to patch so its way too small to be the expansion but feels like they definitely did something.

    Spirit isn't even an issue if you are talking about the Stat. I am assuming that all available sky level shortcuts will be bought and FC/PV will be spammed to 100 and then Frog-Style to 3x105.

    The bigger question is..where will all the friggin Bloods come from. Vitea will eventually be had..but holy shieeeeeeee...getting that many bloods will take a little time :D

    PS: Also no CoM..hope its acc-stashable..don't cheap out here! Also no g17 helm :( Always those Budget ppl :( Ah, and where are the 10k C-Packs??? COINS TO LEARN SKILLS?!?! ORBS?! Still loads of stuff missing. Hopefully in another bank/toon :(

    Sell 1 of those 2 paramount. Bloods can take a while but even doing tnf get u a decent amount even with low tier rewards.
