grabbed this from a support ticket since no one from @EA could be bothered to answer here. Looks like its unintentional and they seem to be treating it as same severity as all the other bugs in game. we may get our progression back sometime before release if we are lucky... I don't know what I expected... giving EA my money in 2021 like some sort of idiot...

Hi Rob my name is Cody
Good Morning Cody, I see that you are having trouble with BF2042. What seems to be going on today?

well I purchased the 90 dollar gold edition to gain early acess to AI bot matches so I could play with my friend and it only counted 8 kills and has not counted anything in mastery since friday

Thank you for letting us know. We have identified an issue with that tracking and we have the Battlefield games team looking into the issue as we speak. There should be a fix in place as soon as they can get one.

that's really good news thanks Rob! any ETA by chance or just gotta play it by ear?
Right now we are just playing it by ear, there are quite a few bugs with this release that are being worked on, but this one is for sure one of them and we're working to get the game on a good track.

understood. shame it had to be still broken for all the fans that paid extra to get in early but... well it's pretty much standard these days I guess. either way thank you Rob I am all set
@Coji4000 Thank you very much for this information mate. Considering it has been a bug this whole time, I don't understand why it was so difficult for them to say something like "We're aware of this issue, currently it's a bug and we're working on a fix for it" ...something along those lines wouldn't of been that hard to say would it EA?!
@iBeKrudeiI don't want to be a Negative Nancy but I don't have a whole lotta faith that the support ticket responder actually knows exactly what the problem being asked about was, or even confused it with any of the other unlock bugs there are.
even just acknowledgement of the issue would have gone a long way!
Players just need to feel heard and the whole community that supports development studios like EA will remain loyal if they know what is going on and they were just honest.
“we are aware of an issue and working on it please be patient”
And with bungie just dropping the halo infinite multiplayer 3 weeks early wouldn’t be surprised if the number of players drops dramatically between now and official launch/fix later this week.
