Earning Levels Takes Too Long
- Thread starter FlakAttack
- Start date
I have the same problem in reverse. All my firends are low level and I'm high level 
Only thing I can recommend is get your mates to come down to Hard and get them to limit their loadouts. Like have your Medic only allowed to take a syringe and no Mp7, or have a Sharpshooter that can only use the LAR, a support that can only use the pumpy.
Its suprising how difficult the game gets when you start limiting your loadouts. I went on normal as a Medic and didn't use armour... and several times I nearly got stuffed by Gorefasts and Husks

One suggestion is to get your friends to carry you on the higher levels, leaving you easy levelling.
I.e., for commando they could kite the stalkers to you, demo they could leave the groups for you, support they could get you welding; etc.
If you're dead set on playing with your friends on higher difficulties, you should be able to come to some arrangement; after all, you're friends!

Still fun for me. I have 57M damage on my commando, and it is still my favorite class. I have close to 1100 hours in, and I play for the teamwork, and because the game is fun, not achievements. I only have 60% of the achievements.

Support wasn't that hard to level when you play maps like office and biotics lab. Plenty of doors to weld and corridors to get that penetration damage stacking.
Firebug is a bit of a nuasance for me as there are no alternative methods to level up on the side, whilst by the time i came to level medic and berserker i was already level 3 from general play.
SS was the first class i got to level 6 and i would probably advise people not to grind SS because you'll inadvertantly level SS regardless of what class you are.
EDIT: As for medic, level 5-6 is a massive gap and i'm greatful from promotions on Valve's end for bringing in the newbies as that's a great way to boost your healing grind capacity. I've probably healed more HP's in the past week than i have in the past 2 months because of the potato sack promotion. The same can be said for the Christmas promotion.

Promotion/ sale + doom level = stupidly fast medic leveling. It's Killing Floor's version of Counter-Strike's de_dust2 or Day of Defeat's dod_orange/ dod_avalanche.
For Firebug, if you're really bored, I guess you could always pop into a doom server on hard or suicidal and just burn everything in sight down.

I think it's perfect. I'm not all max lvl yet and have 132 hours in the game. If I was maxed in every class I'll be honest, I doubt I'd be playing anywhere near the amount I am now.

Couldn't agree more. I have 100 hours and only have 3 classes at level 3, all the rest are below. Takes far too long in this game. I can't play higher difficulties because starting out with just a pistol when I join mid-game = death.

Enjoy leveling while you can.
One of the reasons why I reset my perks was because I rushed through leveling them the first time 'round, missing out on the fun.
(back when Poundamonium was whitelisted.)
