BF Portal and player level progression

I just want to know if these custom games created in BF Portal would give player XP to rank up or if it would pause progression.

I have had a similar experience playing in Overwatch custom game modes where players don't get XP for playing custom games. Players used to get XP before devs removed it coz players started farming points and had AFK XP generating modes.

If BF2042 has XP generation from these modes, players would be max level in a few hours/days.

  • @PaperAssassin-PC According to Jack Frags it will depend on how much you deviate from the core experience. With modest changes, yes it will carry over. With drastic changes I believe he said it will either be dramatically reduced progression or completely eliminated which is only fair in my opinion.

    Yes correct @rainkloud ,

    The principles are very much as we know them well from the custom servers in the BF4 environment.   Here we could also set a wealth of parameters exactly as we may wanted.   But a few of them if set to more unusual/extreme values would then turn off the ranked status, as some parameters that can be adjusted are making the gameplay very very different in terms of Time To Kill, by aka adjusting values as Soldier Health, Bullet Damage Multiplier, etc.   Essentially you can set up a server so even just a single bullet from even the weakest weapon in the game will be a One-Hit-Kill, even if just hitting the enemy in the foot.

    Needless to say if setting up a solo player server like this, with aka all the AI Bots with extreme low health and 500% bullet damage multiplier would be an XP Booster with extreme effect!     So some parameters in the Portal has some specific ranges that are not allowed to be passed if you want your server to remain a ranked server.  A status tag indicates clearly is a server is ranked or not, so both the server owner/editor and also the players will easily see if this is the case or not.   Expect also this to be an available search criteria for our server browser.  👍

  • @CyberDymeI doubt an XP booster is even part of the customizing. The way I see it is customizing is only in regards to base mechanics for weapons, basic soldier mechanics. How strong a soldier is etc. The way I saw Jack's video is we're never going to be able to go bat * crazy customizing everything. No way in hell would DICE even put that in lol 🙂
