Re: Latest Update about Solo/Co-Op and Custom Portal Progression, CAPPED again!!!

@loveubf I hope dice can give portal some progression, maybe cap 1 mastery level per day, anything is better than nothing at this point.

    Dice bringing progression back to Portal should be one of their top priorities especially since we ain’t getting any new content until the new year, it will at least allow us to play on servers with more map variety and game modes with our 2042 weapons and specialists.

    @RAMBO2k9 Right now, you only get a bit of xp on custom servers, nothing more. I do hope dice give portal at least some sort of capped mastery progression. Full progression probably already out of the question, they are afraid of people unlock everything too fast.

    Update is released, but sadly again nothing changed on Portal. No official gamemodes except 2 huge ones, no point making smaller ones in Portal without progression. WTF is this?

    @Radious1987This seems like their offical statement, only alow solo/coop players unlock game play stuff, all the images tags T1 skins cosmetics are locked behind multiplayer. Portal is the third class that gets nothing other than a bit capped XP. Don't expect to change anytime soon, maybe in the future after most people have unlocked everything.

    No! It can not be like that! We cannot give up! We, PvE players, we paid the same as others and we should have the same access to progress as PvP players. The game was advertised that we could progress in any mode no matter how and where we play. We must show our dissatisfaction everywhere: on the EA forum, Youtube, Twitter, Discord, Reddit.
    Go over there and show them that it needs to change.

    2 weeks today. 2 weeks since Portal was killed by removing progression from it.

    They actually made it even worse as they took away our ability to have 120 BOTs in a Portal server

    @Boland110 Its all wrong, selling the game with info that we can level up everything and everywhere and then removing that entirely from Portal after 1 day and capping it massively in solo is just scam against own customers.

    in my opinion it all got f***** by PVP toxic comunity. they started crying about balance. crying that unlocking things in PVE was not fair. crying that PVP should be best rewarded because is more "challenging" and "competitive". crying for nerfs. crying for fixes. crying if someone unlocks things before they do. Every PVP game has the same problem with mind f***** players with no ability of enjoying a game for what it is. A GAME. and i'm ready to bet that PORTAL farmers where PVP players trying to get stronger the fastest way possible, to win against others. SOLO gamers just want to enjoy playing games. they take the slow and standard way of progression while having fun. and when they are done, they play again and again just for fun. thanks to PVP for screwing all that....

    Yea, false advertising at its finest. They advertised we could progress in ANY mode. This included solo/co-op. Battlefront 2 has full progression in their ai/co-op modes. I see no difference in allowing full progression in solo/co-op in Battlefield 2042. I can barely even play multiplayer and have to resort to solo to even play the game.

    Who play offline will continue to play offline, Who farming offline and then go online are the toxic part of the community.

    Why disable progression for the people who just want to have fun…offline, why?

  • also, we're not talking about a free to play game like warzone. we ALL paid full price for this game, depending on the edition.

  • By the way…in AOW why ribbons are locked, weapons level 12 locked, operators skins locked … why this sh*t.

  • I'm wondering whether to buy the game, basically I play PVE (I like battlefield but I don't like multiplayer PVP) and I'm still wondering whether to buy the game or not, I play alone (Player vs CPU, I'm not interested in PVP at all ) my question is the following ... can you play plaver vs PVE (AI bots), gain experience and unlock weapons? or has that mode been removed? if there is no gain of experience in the mode "singleplayer PLAYER vs CPU (AI bots) I refrain from spending my money



    Thanks in advance

    @Raytheon30In All Out Warfare Solo / Co op mode,which is versus AI bots, you can level your rank, but veeeery slowly, as the xp is massively reduced. You can also unlock all attachements for weapons and vehicles.You can also unlock the camos rewarded from rank.

    What you can't unlock is anything past mastery 12. So you cannot get progress towards the Tier 1 weapon camo and specialist skins.

    Also we do not yet know how much BattlePass progression will be available via Solo / Co op bot mode. This worries me slightly because if its progression is hugely nerfed like the level rank xp is for us, it will take far too long to work through the 100 ranks of it.

    @Raytheon30 I hope this doesn't come across wrong but do you purely dislike PvP or do you just dislike the massive modes with 64 (previous BF games) or 128 players as in 2042? I personally can't stand the headless chicken cluckfest that is conquest or frankly any mode with a crazy amount of players and just wanna be able to progress with Portal.

    I can totally respect if people do dislike PvP and just want to do the AI only mode and I'm enjoying it for now to avoid being forced into conquest and breakthrough to unlock weapons and attachments. It's also really nice to let my 8-year-old get some experience running around, shooting and reviving teammates. 🙂

    Hope this temporary removal of key settings for Portal and solo/co-op are back soon. :/

    @GenoshaONE7FIVE Thanks for your answer, but let's see if I understand ..., that is to say that you playing will unlock the weapons, accessories, vehicles and their respective accessories, right?

    It will also level up your character? If I'm wrong, please correct me, but the skins (uniforms and weapon appearances can't, right? Everything else can be unlocked? And the character level up to level 12 only?

    I apologize if I have misunderstood, but I want to be sure before I spend my money.

  • @MagenZion I just don't like PVP but I like shooters like BF, when I saw that it had the option of bots (like another game mode) I was glad that this game had this mode for people who like shooters and just don't like it. like to play with other players and they just want to play against the CPU

    @Raytheon30Character level can go all the way up, just really slowly.

    Mastery 12 is when you unlock the last attachement on a weapon, so progress for the Tier 1 weapon camo stops there (360/1200 kills). You CAN earn the 30 kills Carbon camo though for weapons and vehicles.

    Also some weapon camo skins can be still earned like the ones tied to level rank. I've also been unlocking some blue specialist skins, but not sure what unlocks them, if it's rank or what.

    You are still able to gain experience in Solo / Coop but at a strongly reduced rate. They removed XP for capping wich gave massive XP before that.
    You are still able to unlock all your attachments for every weapon / vehicle playing Solo / Coop.

    In terms of XP I manage to average at 15k XP in Solo / Coop (120 to 200 kills Breakthrough match around 20 mins playtime) wich is almost the same as a multiplayer match with 20 kills and a few captures (but with 30 to 40 mins playtime). You should still be able to blaze through the early ranks quite fast (in comparison I need 105k XP for my Rank 91).

    The XP is not that bad but you kinda have to sweat for it in Solo / Coop.

    If the full Portal progression is not back ON with Patch 3 then i am done with this game. Bought it for Portal, not for laggy All out Warfare with massive empty maps.
