Question Re EGO Points

I just achieved my last Perk at EGO level 3751. I noticed afterwards while playing a siege and some arkfalls that I was not accumulating any more points (as noted on the bar at the screen bottom.) Because I am at full EGO does this mean I will no longer accumulate points to raise my level?
I still have some weapons to master and some "doable" pursuits; however, on the whole I am just a grinder and enjoy that.

Yeppers. After you upgrade your very last perk point, the only way to advance EGO is by completing pursuits. Good luck on Echelon. :)

You still advance weapon skills right? Was planning on raising Infectors and finishing echelon at same time.

Thanks for the response. Not sure but I shoiuld be able to break 4000 Ego between remaining weapon mastery and some last minute pursuits. Haven't even gotten to Echelon as I am not big on PvP and from all I've read on the forum it looks like a joke althoug I am noticing a lot of "new" generation players coming on board. There are also a number of challenges which I won't pursue - the ones involving cars and race courses. I play the game because it's a shooter. If I wanted to drag I'd play GTA.

Yeah, you still get the +4 per weapon skill up. Although I will say that PvE is where you want to raise your weapon skill.

Yeah, I'm anti-social, ignoring sniper rifles, and ignoring PvP. Should still max out my EGO well over 4K. I did my gold medal challenges way back in April and May when the runners still had durability. No way would I want to try those courses with both volge and ****ty runners.

If you are on PC I recommend that you use a gamepad! keybord and mouse is a nightmare with the rollers/runners to get Gold on the races.

I did the 1st 2 batches of races/challenges totaling 2 races and 4 challenges, I think, leveled all weapons/vehicles but Cerberus (9) and I have 11 Echelon points. I have most of the episodic stuff that went away, and the Volge pursuits. Arena vids and Live Streams bore me.
I've been stuck at low 45XX since about July, and unless they add serious stuffs, that's where the game an I shall part ways.

I recommend you at least do them to get silver medals. If you don't you'll be losing over 250 EGO points in region pursuits.
