@X1Alpha1I think it's all part of the same thing, well hopefully anyway, and hopefully they bring it all back. I mean, why not just make it so you can only lower bots to 80% health or something and if you lower it below that the server automatically switches off progression.
@Kean_1111 This is how it should have been from the beginning !!!
To be honest this never should have happened in the first place. I really wish it didn't.
Before launch they kept saying there were systems in place that would prevent people from making xp farm servers while still allowing Full Progress for those playing with the AI who didn't change those settings and kept it close to the default settings.
What A Blatant Lie That Was !!!
If they really did do that from the beginning we wouldn't be having this problem at all !!!
Now they are punishing those who are playing legit because of those toxic ******* xp farming ******** ... I have had enough of all of them.
According to Xbox Support it is too late for me to get a refund and even though the guy I talked to agreed with me about the problems apparently his hands are completely tied when it comes to the refund policies.
So I am telling my friends on the fence to avoid it like the plague until the game is cured of it's illnesses.

None of us have all the facts. Maybe they had controls in place that failed? Maybe their approach didn't account for the way people exploited the system? .....and yeah, maybe they didn't have any controls and just expected most wouldn't resort to something like this. I have no idea.
What we do know is that the suspension of XP is temporary until they can fix or find a solution to deal with it. Perhaps that will come in the form of throttling XP in those cases where players are found to be gaining it rapidly. ....who knows.
XP gains in Portal is what I consider a major selling point as that is really the only mode my friends and I are interested in. They made a point of marketing this fact along with the AI, etc. so I don't expect this XP suspension will be permanent. I suspect it's high on the list of things for they want to try and fix before the full release next week.
I didn't buy the Gold Edition for this very reason. I knew the game would have issues at launch and why would I want to pay extra to experience that? Actually, it works for people like me because we can see all the problems before the full release and hopefully see them addressed before we buy the game on that date. If not, we can then decide if it's worth buying now or waiting longer for them to address the problem we have concerns about.
Early adopters are essentially guinea pigs especially in this day and age of gaming. Not saying it's right but it is what it is. .....but I'd be lying if I said I don't benefit from it.
@Kean_1111You pretty much hit the nail on the head there 🙂
It is pretty much the main reason I bought it so for them to just remove it out of the gate like this... Yea it hurts very badly which is why it feels like a betrayal even if it isn't.
@Trokey66For the record I do completely blame those making the XP farm servers in the first place.
But before launch DICE and EA kept saying they had things in place to stop them WITHOUT punishing those playing with legit settings against the AI.
What they said was either broken or it never existed which would mean it was a blatant lie because otherwise there wouldn't have been any XP farm servers at all. Period.
It's as simple as that.
