Expert Classes in game already?

[Wallin]

I remember they weren't in the 360 beta, so are expert classes already in the retail version, or do we have to wait a patch or two to get them? I heard that the level cap didn't get raised until the first patch, so I wanted to check on this, too.

As far as I've heard US launch content is the same as the JP launch content, which means we won't be getting expert classes and everything else in that update (more weapon types unlocked, etc), for a little while. The JP update for all that stuff hit 6 weeks after JP launch, I don't think I've heard about a timeframe for the US. That 6 weeks included the time the server having all those problems on the JP version, so we may get the update sooner than 6 weeks (hopefully).
