We 're in the same boat together. I feel the same exact way as I waited what seems like decades for bots to make a return to the series. I also took a number of months away from 2042 with no play and have just returned about a week ago to try again.
Maybe we should play a few together as teammates, I'm in the Northeast U.S. time zone, and I'm an older player (in my 50's).
If you'd like to voice chat either on Steam or on my Discord send me a PM here on the forum.
Nice! Can you explain how you could create a portal experience with:
- Conquest (regular maps size, for 64 player)
- 128 players (hopefully AI bots)
- without restrictions for masteries, xp, weekly's and BP's progrees
I'm asking for that because, stating on some devs rules in order to keep moderate xp / weekly missions / ribbons / accessories and weapons unlock, after setting PvP AI we can not touch anything else, including bots number, difficulty etc, except for map rotation.
Thanks in advance
Welp so much for this limited mid season event that we can't partake in through other means. Oh well.
Thanks!
@UGCHazardYea but I'm assuming there that since you changed that setting you will not be able to earn weekly missions, which is where all the extra BP's come from.
Ok thanks, Ill try changing the player count setting on a new mission tonight...are there any other settings that you've found (in addition to player count) which will not effect all the ribbon and mission earns?
Still waiting on full T1 progress that we were promised when the game launched and why do challenges still not work in Solo/Coop AOW?

The patch notes for Season 5 can't be far. Fingers crossed they loosen their finger on the trigger for restrictions. They had said they wanted to unrestrict AOW Solo/Co-op as well so maybe this season too?? Otherwise, portal VS AI is the best option.
This is the longest unanswered question about this game.
They might even be forbidden from telling us what they think
What's the max number of AI you can play against in Portal nowadays? You used to be able to do 1 v 127 but don't think you have been able to for quite a while after it was patched out. Hoping a recent season might have sneaked that in but not played in quite a while.
I've been able to play against a full lobby of bots via community spotlights with crossplay turned off but I never paid much attention to the playercounts. I know SMG Rush is a fantastic way to level up

It was never intended, to allow for full Tier 1 progression in Solo/Coop. If you followed the development of 2042 before it was released the team had already mentioned that progression would be seamless and shared between Competitive and Coop, but limited and T1 would not be allowed.
I followed the development and was well aware of this fact long before I purchased. Not that I'm happy about it, of course. But whoever told you that they promised this has misinformed you.
Finally the S5 patch notes arrived
The bad news. Restrictions are the same. Thankfully not for the worse since we can still at least do BP challenges and such and with squad management in place I imagine we should be able to play with AI teammates. So things aren't too bad...
The good news. Well, they didn't return to adding any more restrictions so we can expect what we had this season. HOWEVER we can now play breakthrough in Portal with bots...Although it pretty much makes AOW Solo/Co-op completely obsolete
What this means is we can no longer progress the battle pass missions AGAIN. WHY DICE. WHY ARE YOU JUST DISABLING STUFF ALL WILLY NILLY WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE. SCUMMY MOVE

@Maxthewicked100If this is confirmed by other players, then perhaps a Community Manager can reach out to their contact to let them know about it.
I havent had a chance to play yet myself, but I will shortly and I'll try to report back as soon as I can.
I can definitely confirm progression is screwed. We're back to square one. No ribbons, no mastery, no bp progression nothing.
My trust is already torn so I doubt a community manager will fix it. I dare them to prove me wrong.
Yeah, progression in Portal vs AI only has been disabled, what worked before v5.0.0 update, is not working anymore from today. This is very bad idea.
Okay this just in after razing high hell about this. Learned that portal vs ai only ISN'T the only affected thing regarding progression. It turns out someone's weekly missions also were not counting in official portal servers as well....This had better be a bug or so help me...
Maybe it's buggy because they were trying to remove ALL of the restrictions?
One can dream.
Portal editor shows that it's only giving restricted Player XP but nothing else.
No settings changed from default, other than adding PvP bots.
No more ribbons, no more missions....hopefully this was just an oversight.
