I have the same problem. Apparently using boosts and gearing your character to level faster is a mistake, they punish you for doing so by level gating the missions. So if you progress to quickly because your using what the game provided to do exactly that, THEY PUNISH YOU, by not letting you proceed in your story missions. It's what less than reputable games do to try and keep you there, mostly because they feel their content is not good enough to keep you engaged and playing. BTW, the level requirement for getting the inoculation is 36 today, not 33 like it was yesterday as of this posting...that's right, it was level 33 on 8/8/2023, and level 36 on 8/9/2023. Aren't you glad you brought the fact that it was only a couple levels higher than you are when you get there, to their attention, and wouldn't have to grind that long to be able to proceed, so they fixed that. If somebody is capable and has it unlocked, to go to a certain planet or location, that's above their means, why is the game stopping them??? They'll get the picture when they can't handle it. Saying it's to protect you from getting squashed is bs. If I want, and can, go to ANYWHERE I would get "squashed", that should be MY CHOICE, not somebody else's that thinks they know whats best for me. If a player wants to stay somewhere and get killed over and over with no chance of survival, that should be THEIR CHOICE, not yours. That's how people learn. Mission level restrictions are total bs and other games I play got rid of them, and lo and behold, the game didn't collapse because some dumb f gets killed over and over because they went somewhere they shouldn't have and got killed over and over until they left. This all revolves around somebody else other than you deciding how you should play and what's best for you. F that. I'll start letting them tell me what's best for me when they start letting me tell them what's best for them, bet they say f that same as me. LEVEL RESTRICTIONS ARE FOR LOSERS. Do you need level restrictions?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but, I'm about to uninstall the game and not look back. I spent money on a armor set so I could do a canon character and level it so I can do other game content after leveling. Here's the issue: My character is a Bounty Hunter, I have been using xp boosts and gearing up every few levels, and I'm being punished for doing so. Because I'm using xp boosts and gearing up every few levels, I've apparently progressed to fast, and am not allowed to progress any further in the story missions because I'm to low a level to access the mission I'm supposed to be doing. THIS IS TOTAL BS. If I make it to the mission by whatever legal non EULA violating means, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PROCEED. Star Trek Online had the same issue years ago, they had level requirements for missions. This prevented a lot of people form progressing any further, or collecting needed gear, or rewards, until they ground out however many levels they had to have to proceed. SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE GRINDING. A lot of people left the game because of it. They fixed it and now there's no level requirements to do any mission in the game. I'M NOT GOING TO GRIND FOR A WEEK JUST TO BE ABLE TO DO THE NEXT MISSION!, that's total bs. I'll probably be uninstalling as I am not going to grind for days just to be able to do the mission I have slotted as next, only to find out I have to do this over and over because the game punishes you for doing well and using boosts. I don't even really know why I am posting this here because nothing will change, oh well, had fun while it worked.
