@Lancelot_du_LacAbsolutely, this. I'm also in the Oceania region.
Portal should not penalize for AI. If it's equal AI/Players per side, then it's equal opportunity, not EXP farming. As a host of a current BF server for 3+ years, I assure that portal is otherwise essentially useless in Oceania.
Without AI, portal cannot succeed in OCE. If we mimic an official default experience it's penalized as 'UNRANKED' - ridiculous! We COULD fix BF2042 ourselves, but AI limitations make portal useless.
Why offer absolute creativity freedom, and then confine it like a prison?? You're eradicating your own invention.
EASY Fixes:
-Full progression in equal AI / Player Matches (Simply enforce balance...)
-Proper exp/minute cap alike high-end official mode scores.
-No restrictions with default / buffed Hard-AI.
-Remove limits - Just let people do their thing. At least they play. Most don't. You could use the player count & ratings. (Though I appreciate updates, we are hopeful...)
All we've needed to enjoy BF2042 is a smaller map Infantry-Only experience starting up with AI. Why's the easiest practical fix always ignored? Our 500-player discord server awaits....
(And they want to play, not spend hours in empty servers starting them - that's my role)
Our region can't even partake in this trial.
