So it’s been a while since our last ai rules update. I’m hoping we get new ones for the new season. here is what I’d like: Full xp for everything except when using the logic editor. (Preferred) But...

@SilverJackal96 Same here. When I want to host a Portal server with just default settings I prefer to enable the AI as placeholders for empty slots while more players join. When the difficulty is set on Advanced or even Default (which I notice is actually mixed difficulty and is only available in Portal settings) It is not like I'm farming kills. There is always a bot that one shot you and they actually put up a good fight.
And, I don't really understand why they restrict everything in Solo / Co Op mode. You can only change the difficulty and maps nothing else.
Maybe Dice could link the XP amount with the difficulty setting someone chooses in Solo / Co Op and Portal.
Or, Dice could keep the moderate XP amount but let you earn Ribbons, weekly missions and let you go all the way to Tier 1 stuff. I know this is a thing in For Honor and it is actually pretty fun way to play if you don't want to play PVP all the time.
I am pretty sure more players will return and buy from the store or buy season passes.
Now I do understand there are also PVP and or hardcore players who maybe find it unfair that certain players could get Tier 1 skins or certain emblems etc etc. while playing PVE modes. Which I really do understand and is a fair point. But in my humble opinion I think it is more important that the playerbase will return and I am sure this is one of the many solutions. I think this wil also help a lot of players who live in the oceanic regions who have problems finding PVP matches.
I really hope Dice will also double down on Portal because that has a lot of potential.

Sorry I’ve been meaning to reply to you guys, since you posted, but I wanted to get more stuff to reply with.
I played a round on spearhead breakthrough, the other day, they’re insanely good now. One even managed to get to 48-0.
And one on the other team ended with 87 kills.
No reason why we shouldn’t have full xp now.

So I think the farm bots argument should be shelved. Not to mention the fact that you can get full XP in all the Farming servers, and even Empty ones, yes I said empty servers. But as soon as you add bots forget about it.
Also I kept getting put into empty servers even with crossplay on.
Honestly if this was enacted… We’d never have to worry about player counts. No dead game or servers.
I really hope Straatford or TotalFPS or any of the important people can see this. Thank you for your time in reading this. I appreciate it a lot.

Good post, I hope that they act on this, as you say it would definitely help counteract the low player count issues.
@SilverJackal96This! If you play on Intermediate or Advanced it will almost be impossible to farm them. The only way you can do this by my knowledge is with the Wildcat or Battle tank and use Mortars and Grenade Launchers. Otherwise they simply outgun you. And even then it is a challenge. They use EMP grenades, surround your tank and airdrop vehicles on their location and the Bots are really good with the EC..ECL? Ram... That 4 wheel drive Fiat 500 race tank. The one from season 2. They play really aggressive with that thing and I have lost quite a few tank battles against them. MAV is also something the Bots use quite aggressively. It's a driving warship in their hands. I also notice they switch to their sidearm to kill you off and even do knife takedowns on a higher difficulty.
So...yeah...farming in Solo / Co Op isn't that easy (and that's a good thing) and like I said earlier: Dice should link the amount of XP to the selected difficulty setting and allow everyone to reach Tier 1 stuff, earn ribbons, emblems etc etc.
I mean, if someone REALLY want to play hours upon hours against bots on the lowest difficulty setting just to get that Tier 1 skin or Badge... Let them have fun with it. It is their money and time. And again, if you do play on the lowest setting you wouldn't barely get any XP at all. Just your black and red Tier 1 skin. Most players who live in the Middle East or Oceanic regions wouldn't have another option anyway since they can't find populated matches anymore. I live in The Netherlands and even I have problems finding matches especially Breakthrough and Hazard Zone.
One more thing I wanted to add: If you want to have some difficult epic firefights go to the Portal website and create a new experience (create something new button) and then select Conquest and the maps you like (I recommend Caspian Border and Renewal). Keep all the vanilla/standard settings of Battlefield 2042 but set the teams to Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 3 (go to Restrictions and then select teams).
Select PVP AI, then select mixed squads allowed (so players can be in the squads with AI bots if needed) and select Intermediate or Advanced difficulty. Enjoy all the sounds of the explosions and helicopters flying over and have some difficult firefights! Bots are very good with the Attack helicopters and the IFV's but also as infantry in squad firefights in close quarters. Also, since you are not playing as a specialist but as a regular nobody with a gun you are even more on the playing field of the Bots. If you want even more vehicle and air action you can go to the AI settings and set AI vehicle Reinforcement Spawning from 1 to 2. And if you want more of a challenge go to modifiers, select gameplay and switch Classic Soldier Weapon Tuning to on. I don't know why but this last setting make the bots even more difficult to beat. Maybe it is because it make your own weapons less accurate and have less damage like in the older Battlefield games.
Now, unfortunately you won't unlock anything at all and you barely get any XP... But, this can be a lot of fun with friends and other players. It has quite a cinematic experience when you hear the audio of Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 with all the screaming voices, weapon sounds, A10 warthog's and Little Birds around you, and the combat is really challenging to be honest. Especially when other players join your match.
Oh, few more things, the reason to select PVP AI instead of PVE AI is because with PVE AI the game won't make you squad leader and therefore you can't give the Bots Attack and Defend orders. PVE AI also takes away available slots for friends or other players who want to join your server. Also, keep the standard "ping" spotting setting. If you Select the classic 3d spotting setting bots will not spot enemies and you cannot "Ping" your squad AI bots for a pickup if they are in a vehicle.
