@Spidder81I was able to unlock things for vehicles and weapons the other day and even rank up in Solo/Coop this past weekend. So maybe I am not understanding what people are wanting in this thread. Sorry. Are you all wanting full progression as multiplayer has?
I thought that was pretty obvious.
Yes, we are looking for progression to be reimplemented in solo, coop and Portal as it was in the beginning before they started mucking with it when the farmers abused Portal. This was a big selling point for for a lot of us when they said that people could progress regardless of which mode they chose to play including Portal. They also said that they would have safeguards in place to mitigate cheating but I think it's quite clear that they either failed completely or were never implemented.
Personally, I have no desire to play any of the PvP modes or even solo / coop AOW for that matter. I bought this game specifically for Portal and always had the intention of creating custom Experiences for my friends and I to enjoy. XP is currently capped in Portal (save for official Experiences) so I'm not sure why they couldn't (at the very least) do the same for all other progression (e.g. Mastery unlocks) as well while they work on a better solution. As it is now, the only way to unlock 2042 assets in Portal is to play solo / coop (which is also capped) or other modes.
....that is the issue and while Ripple Effect says they are still far from finished tweaking progression in Portal, etc., the damage is already done and only getting worse as engagement drops.
A bit off topic here but I figured I should have brought this up much earlier since this thread has PvE folks watching.
I happen to have a private discord channel that I created awhile back whose only purpose is to help older/mature PvE players to hook up and play/talk/BS on a regular basis. Let me link you guys to it here, if you're ever interested in speaking with me or playing together:
I'm past the half century mark myself as are some of my other online friends. Too bad you're on PC though. .....not really into Discord and don't have any kind of Steam account. We use PSN party chat on our PS4/PS5's.
I wish they had in-game chat, especially like in Hell Let Loose.
