@vampiric you can change that option in the settings>gameplay.

when using manual level up, it is almost exactly like dota/LoL where you place points into skills by clicking the '+' above the skill icons.

you can even press ctrl+<skill shortcut> to level it without clicking... although the shortcut is kinda hard to use when u are moving around using WASD. turns out clicking to up skills seems more convenient for this game!

I accidentally selected to place my own poibts when levelling up, how the hell do I level up???? I can't even find anywhere to open a tab to spend the points and I can't use my skills in game, presumably because I haven't spent my points, anyone got a clue about this???

how do you unbind excess exp from a level 20

Ok you need to level your active character to use higher tier (level) weapons. A Level 8 charater allows you to use tier 3 weapons, it's in the character info screen so that new character you bought can not use that tier 3 weapon just yet. But you need to level up your account to craft higher tier weapons, this takes longer as account exp is not as much as some of the other exp rewards.
