This is extremely frustrating, but as a new player I had zero indication of a new player event going on. I finally grinded to level 220 and hit a road block of being able to kill anything, and can no longer do so because all of my gear is too weak. Then I found out about a new player event – that I can no longer get the rewards from(I’m team level 4 now). Also I cannot kill anything because my weapons are too weak, and I cannot buy anything from the marketplace for the next 5 days because new accounts are barred for a whole week.
This has been an extremely frustrating new player experience so far. I literally cannot do anything for the next 5 days besides waste time grinding under-leveled mobs, which I obviously won’t be wasting time on.
