Me too,
The game was advertised as universal progression across all modes, unlock everything no matter what mode you are playing
- meaning of universal - including or covering all or a whole collectively or distributively WITHOUT LIMIT OR EXCEPTION
But now there are limits and exceptions

Can we deal with this false advertisement?Conversations about this get shut down by the mods, on the grounds of forum terms of use.
Any such action would have to be arranged outside of here, since such discussion here gets shut down and users risk losing their accounts also.

Oh, and if those Schmucks want to starting going on about how masteries are for the "commited", and how it would be cheesy to earn them in Portal or T1 in Solo/Coop.
Anyone remember Combined Arms from BF5?
A mode with different scenarios to play, were you, or 3 other people, could go up against AI bots, and the kicker? You could complete all the camo and weapon assignments in it, and cheese your way to getting Gold for all the weapons, in a short amount of time...
So what's the excuse for that one, DICE?

This video was made for Blizzard and World of Warcraft but I think it fits there with the part with the guy talking to the goat
- sagagt5054 years agoSeasoned Hotshot@Steinbieger I can't believe they done this to us.

What I can't believe is why they can't (at the very least) apply similar caps to Mastery progression. They said the XP cap works on a minute to minute basis so just do something like that with Mastery achievements. Only having so many kills with a particular weapon for example that would count within a minute, hour, day, etc. is better than nothing IMO while they work on a better solution. In either case, it would be something to offer Portal players who have no interest in PvP or prefer their own custom Experiences, those of others, etc.
.....I could care less about the ribbons personally or achievements that are purely for bragging rights, but not being able to unlock weapons, acc's and such for the 2042 assets and being forced to play other modes you don't want to in order to do that will hamper Portal's full potential and interest from the community.
- 4 years ago@Kean_1111 honestly with that and the fact that the nerf of vehicle weapons rendered them completely useless (thinking of the 4-5 body shot 50mm cannon for example for the MAV) I have lost all interest in the game and I just check this forum discussion periodically while foolishly hoping to see change that will most likely never come.
Too bad, BF2042 was fun for the first 24 hours, from the 12th to the 13th of November. - 4 years ago
@Kean_1111Ribbons are a mark of your playstyle. And they bring extra XP. If you have 2 Ribbons T2 and 1 Ribbon T1, it's 4k XP. It's nice to take, the highers ranks are kind of grindy, especially if you're capped in XP.

Thanks. Wasn't sure what value they had. XP is still able to be obtained through the gameplay so (for me) they still hold little value. Mastery on the other hand is a gate that can't be bypassed any other way in custom.
I'm just glad my friends and I are more interested in the BF1942, BF3 and BC2 assets for now. ....haven't really messed with BF2042 in our Portal Experiences we have created.

can i earn normal xp in solo now ?
- 4 years ago
@gDance_TR67XP in solo is still capped. You can earn XP for playing AOW solo/coop, but it will be caped by a XP max/minute rate which is very low. You don't earn player card, mastery beyond MR12 tho.
e.g. A 35 minutes game in Breakthrough will give you around 5/6k XP max +10k if it's your first game of the day. A MP game will give you at least 12k for a full game of 35/40 min, if you suck, but it can be up to 30/40k if you nailed the game. - 4 years ago
I just played my first AOW of the day against real players,
I was insulted and called many names by my squad in team chat, who know what they called me due to being censored but by the context of the other words it was pretty harsh.
they started to insult me for the sole reason I was trying to get my tier 1 done with angel and my LCMG, If i didn’t revive I was a *** if I didn’t help shoot I was a ******* if I didn’t stay in the tank, because I’m working on my LCMG mastery I was clueless and and ***.
i don’t want to play with toxic people! I want to just have full progression in solo! To get my tier 1 stuff!
Can someone at EA PLEASE just tell us if you’re at least working on it, any update at all!?
i definitely want this to be fix before voice chats enabled cause I don’t even want to know what’ll be said due to my lack of skill.

I think my biggest issue with everything right now is the lack of communication. The BF communication twitter did a good job of explaining xp in regard to portal compared to featured and AoW. The problem is they didn't say one word about the official solo/coop part of AoW. All we want to know is if solo/coop is like this forever, or if they are looking at giving back a chance for mastery levels and ribbons. I think all of us can live with xp caps, but the grind to level up is so much playing solo the ribbons would be our saving grace.
- 4 years ago
@DominickB3Honestly, I don’t see them keeping the XP, mastery and Player card capped in All Out. It would be a nonsense. They always said that the issue is XP farms, All-Out is nothing like a farm, it’s the solo mode. If they keep it hard capped, they will lost a lot of players and a lot of credibility
I think the main issue here is that the caps settings are linked to the AI and not to the game mode, so they can’t cap Portal but not All-War right now, because they have to change the code. Well, I hope it’s something like that.
- DominickB34 years agoSeasoned Ace@MDBuzz Yeah that's my hope, but maybe they know that's what we are hoping for so they refuse to outright tell us that they are keeping it this way. "If we can hold on to the solo players still playing it inflates the numbers in the game. If we say that we purposely and permanently capped progression for them they might stop playing." That's what it feels like they are doing right now.

@DominickB3As I see it, the season 1 hasn’t started yet, they already lost 70% of the player base, they need solo/coop/portal players to keep the game alive until season 1 start, and they need them for money purpose, with Battle passes, because they’ll never bring back the 70% back.
The smart move would be to bring back full XP at least on AOW solo before Christmas (before those players may receive another game as a gift), and then allowing Battle Pass progression in AOW solo in January to keep them on the game. A solo player will never buy a Battle Pass, unless you can rank it up in solo. - 4 years ago
as a SOLO player i really feel scammed. their position is pretty clear. you won't unlock all the content unless you play PVP. i'm already getting bored of SOLO/CO-OP and playing PORTAL with no progression is pointless. so much entusiasm the first day, now i regret buying this game so much. enjoy my 80€ EA. you won't see another cent from me ever again...

Yep I have had this also, had them capsing saying get out the effing squad and what not. I just turned chat off and ignored it. But still the people in this game seem toxic AF and childlike and look to try insult etc for no reason effing and blinding. All the more to stay out of MP AOW and BT. Just give us solo/coop full xp and progression. Which to be fair we still had no answer on, only Portal

if they really reduce xp in solo i will switch to warzone. When will we get the update ?

FYI... Justin Wiebe (Ripple Effect) just responded to the news from BFComm about progression:
"Some info here about where XP and progression sits currently for portal. But also please know that we hear you and are trying to find a balance between earning progress vs making all progress irrelevant due to farming. Please rest assured, we’re not done yet."
- Spidder814 years agoSeasoned Ace
Yeah still only for Portal
