Returning player and having a good time, but..

[Serrow]

.. How long should I expect it to take to catch up to everyone else? As an idea, the last time I played T4 wasn't even unlocked yet and you couldn't get to Rank 40. I don't mind starting over again, but at this point I'm slightly discouraged because it feels like it's going to take a couple weeks to get to R40, and then longer after that to get my RR up. Do you eventually start to level a bit faster or are there simply grind spots I'm not taking advantage of?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

As T2 T3 and T4 is merged just enjoy the ride, you will get XP and Renown and catch up.

Once you hit level 16 you're in 54. The bolster is substantial, but to compete against high ranked players you're going to have to do what's necessary to win any battle in this game; grouping with other classes that mutually support one another, placing yourself in the best position possible, and knowing when you have the absolute superior numbers/skills/position to kill what you're facing. Tonight there was a group of 5 low level engineers (fatbikerchicks and his gang I think) all on voice comms that were coordinated and blowing me to pieces. It was fun to play against and proof that a little coordination and playing smart could bring a threat to the lake regardless of character level.

That's pretty reassuring then, guess I'll just throw myself back into it! Thanks for the replies.

t2 and t3 and t4 are merged, which means from level 19 you can join the fray. dont worry at beginning you ll be dead meat in unified tiers, but this allow you to farm t4 influence sooner in the game without need to wait for level 31+
