Nope, that was released 20 years ago, so if the timing is relative, then we've got another 19 yrs 11 months to go.

... It's kinda funny to see all these people complaining that they somehow can't play their Earthguards because they don't have Rank 9's. Or that they refuse to play because they're not equal somehow.

That's... kinda weird. Last time I checked, Rank 9 was the top of the top. The best gear in the game. Not the standard for "average". Not to mention that the last time I checked, there was plenty of things to do other than sit outside of West Archosaur and complain because no one wants to PvP against you. And then there's the whole thing with gear not being related to the playability of a class at all.

And besides, from what I can see, a lot of Rank 9's just TW, occasionally do random 1v1s against other Rank 9s or 1v1 folk with gear bought from NPCs in West Archosaur.

Fact: You can level a char to 101 in 3 months without power leveling

In human terms

Cool story bro

True, a no lifer can play long hours and wipe the early quest pretty quick and use all the oracles and bh's and level pretty quick.

But the cry for eg R9 had been going on for some time and the class hasnt been out that long.

plz note that tideborns where able to get it the same day it was released so yea kinda sad we cant even get it yet when it IS ingame

r9 came out after Tideborns so no wonder tehy was able to get it.


And tbh earthguards got sage/demon/79/100 skills WAYYYYYYYYYYYY before tideborn got theirs

Normally when China gets something we get it a month later. Now here we are, 3 weeks later and we do not have r9.

And I'm sorry I lvl'd my EG fast. It took me over a year to lvl my original character when the server DW first started. Let me tell you grinding on spiders and fishes got old very fast and the main events in the game (TW, BH100, Nirv, Delta, etc...) are end game. Of course I was going to do bounty hunters and FC to lvl my character. I honestly did not think I was going to make it my main until I reached 100 and found out how amazing the class really was.

I've worked so hard to gather my things for my r9 set with NO CASH. I really enjoy the new classes even though everyone keeps complaining about them. I find them a fun addition and much more balanced then the TB were.

The thing that makes me mad about this is that China has r9 for EG right now. If China did not have it I would not care as much but the fact is that they do and it's been a month now. On average all the times China got things in the past it took 2-3 weeks to come to us. Come on pwi -_-

Gonna quote this for truth.

They have to translate the gears to german and french clients aswell, so add another month or two

I alrdy knew devs are lazy, I was just LOL'ing at the fact that you still expect people to lvl the old fashioned way and take 1 year to get lvl 101.

I do expect new players to level the old fashioned way and actually learn to play the toon theyve chosen and the mechanics of the game, so sue me. I know alot of old timers arent going to go thru the quest list again on an alt, I know Im not. But really these new classes that are added arent created to keep current players happy but to create new interest in the game among new players trying to decide on a game to play. That being the case, those are the players that would set the timeline for improvements. They dont care that you started an alt EG and want all the bells and whistles now, youve been here and you should be used to disappointment waiting on upgrades.

If youve been here for any time you know about the speed of the developers. How often do they implement improvements in a timely manner? Yeah right, NEVER. And yet you start a new class of toon and expect them walk out all its improvements like yesterday. Its not going to happen and deep down inside you know it.

My mystic is rank 9 ready since the day they took out medals from the DQ shop and that's when i started to wait on rank 9 for mystic. How long ago was that? yes i'm asking you because i've lost count on the days/weeks/months... b:surrender

Don't think people would QQ so much if the whole rank 9 gear had to be designed/made and all that. But it was already in the game since the patch that introduced earthguard. The only thing that devs have to do is change a 3 digit number from 150 to 101, and it would be fixed. Why would it have to take 5 months to be fixed? The word filter only took 43 days (still long).

Using the argument on the amount of time you'd need to level a mystic without hyper etc is just for trolls sake. In china the devs are fully aware that NO mystic is going to have rank 9 since medals can't be bought and they hold no chip and rep sales. And thus there is no hurry behind it. If you have to use an argument, atleast use a valid one like the one i just mentioned.

Positive thing to have it take so long is, you easily save up for rank 9 until it's coming out without spending on excisting gears. Saves me a lot of money.

My point is that China 'does' have r9. Once China gets it then pwi gets it. As soon as the dev's in china get the material and put it into the game it's only a matter of then sending it here to be put in which normally takes 3 weeks. China got EG r9 gear exactly 3 weeks ago. Which is why many are making this such a huge deal.

We all know pwi slacks and takes forever just to fix little things (if they fix them at all). But this is something that makes players mad when the program has already been made. Seriously, I wouldn't even be upset about this if China didn't get their r9 yet, but the fact is that they did get it.

And for all you out there who do play EG we really should get our r9 soon. It's not going to be a year because of the fact China has it. However I don't know when we'll get it, but until we do I'll check every week and hope for the best. b:victory
