- @WienerBeard No need to be disingenuous. It was stated that progression in Portal would be carried over in the rest of the game. By virtue of you being able set the AI to "cannon fodder bots" means you can get all unlocks in that manner if you so desire. I didn't make the game. I merely bought it based on what they said it would be.
I am having such a hard time understanding these professional gamers over here in the forum laughing at the PVE audience for not being able to progress now in solo/coop.
"Earn it the hard way" You mean buying shortcut bundles in the store on the 19th? You arent special just because you play multiplayer guys. We paid for this game because we were told we could progress vs AI, we paid 100 usd for this.
- @Kurohebi Dice/Ea stated yea you can earn xp in Portal. Sadly they didn't state the obvious for the exploiters. It's almost like needed a warning on Tide Pods saying "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION". Dude you really thought it be fine unlocking everything by shooting statues? come on guy. If the bots were a challenge it would be different.
- @WienerBeard Have you played them? By no means am I a pro-gamer (I work on trains) but they can be relentless. Beyond that I'm saying, as an exploit, it was a given. So, in this case, it's equivalent to the Tide Pods being apple flavored. You should have expected someone to eat them.
@WienerBeardA quote from the official page (emphasis mine): "All experience you earned in Battlefield™ 2042 is universal and shared across all its modes, which means you’ll be leveling up and unlocking new weapons, gadgets, and cosmetics no matter which mode you’re playing."
@AnaghyaYep and that's a true statement. Then BAM a bunch of servers pop up saying, "hurry come farm before it's patched."
Exploiting is not part of that statement.
lol you guys are funny.@WienerBeard Depends what you consider by cannon fodder bots. I think all agree here that 1 HP bots in Portal are clearly a no go. I believe everybody agree that such practise should be disabled.
The point of this discussion is about the solo/co-op mode and that was clearly and officially stated as a regular experience that should provide unlocks, progress and so on. They disabled it, thus the complaints here. It's not about the Portal farming servers, but about the regular mode as designed by DICE.
- @WienerBeard I fail to see how that's a bug as opposed to a feature. I get and understand your notion of "fair play" but it's not lining up with reality. If the game is designed to do X then to punish people for doing X is ridiculous.
