My first level 5 perk was the medic... I got it to level five during the free weekend, and hasn't been played much since >.< Working on lvl 4 Sharpshooter and Support at the moment.

Anyone notice that the first week of the new patch there were already lvl6 demos???!?!?!?!?! im like wtf :eek: ?!?! Deffinitly has to be some hacking going on or super exploiting.

There's a hack, true. But having demo lv6 in 1 week (less than 7 days) is completely doable:

1, wave 1, pick firebug.
2, wave 2~die, pick demo, spawn pipebomb

Do solo on westlondon, bloated, difficult depends on demo lv. 4~5hrs after update, I got lv3 demo. That also included time I spent playing other new *toys*

It's doable. Thanks to infi-burn bug (got fixed recently).

definitely was support. I was a weld master back in the day. On a side note, Anyone notice that the first week of the new patch there were already lvl6 demos???!?!?!?!?! im like wtf :eek: ?!?! Deffinitly has to be some hacking going on or super exploiting.

I currently play on the weekends and maybe 4 hours during the week. Have....
lvl 5 med
lvl 6 sharp
lvl 5 commando (100 or so stalkers left tho)
lvl 2 fire
lvl 3 beserk
lvl 3 demo

Heh, Demo 6 in 2 hours was quite easy. No hack required.

My first level 5 was Medic. It's pretty easy to get level 5 medic, I liked the speed/armor, and I felt obligated to do the healing after seeing so many public servers wipe because injuries were going unattended.

I expected my first level 6 to also be medic, because the progress bar was full for post-5 points. But the level 6 requirement was much higher than expected, so medic ended up being my third/fourth level 6.

My first level 6 was support. When level up came out, I found that it was what I was closest to level 6 in, so I finished it up with general online play for shotgun damage. After palying with the new toys in general, of course.
Welding points, I'll admit most of that was done the lame way.

All 5 except SS which is on level 6.

First class on level 5 was support many months ago.

SharpShooter, although it's not my prefered class.
I get many headshots while "testing" maps, cause I prefer 2 use knife and 9mm in the first 3 rounds.

Then Commando (prefered class) and Medic.

EDIT Got SharpShooter to level 6 today.

Medic, hands down.
That perk practically levels itself if you're playing online and are not a self healing douchebag.

I got lv5 SS first. And when level up patch came out I went straight to lv6 SS, before I got any other lv5's! SS is just too easy to level, I mean you are doing headshots with pistols regardless of which class you use.

Funny. A few months ago people were yelling how hard SS is to level. Then they lowered the requirements for levels and made it possible to level with pistol, too.

Hahah... Sometimes I feel TWI should not even read these forums.

I don't know who the hell would have said that, without even using SS class hardly ever I got the lv5/dualies before some of my other classes were lv4. By the way I've been trying to lvl my perks relatively equally and it seemed that SS progress just tore ahead of the others. That was probably because I used dualies as secondary weapon regardless of which class I was (in vanilla KF it was the only good choice for most kit-outs?).

I finally got level 5 Demolitions, but I'm bummed that all I get is 2 pipebombs to spawn with...clots are the best targets for them.

Support, Medic, and sharpshooter are close behind.

Mine being Medic L5, took a very long time but was made easier with the MP7M, But then i am one off those medics who actually heal instead off going off getting kills, and sometimes ask for better weapons.

Well im about 150 stalker kills from getting L4 Commando, about 1100 off L4 Sharpy, and about 70k till i get L3 Demo.

Oh Bersker is just at L2.

Demolitions, my first Lv5 because it's the easiest to solo grind. Currently at 5.3M / 5.5M.

Medic is second highest, recently lv5. I barely even play Medic, I just happen to heal teammates whenever I see them not at 100%, even if I'm not fully healed. Maybe it's my TF2 Medic instinct.

Berserker and Firebug feel really slow at leveling compared to the rest. Is it just me?
