Re: Latest Update about Solo/Co-Op and Custom Portal Progression, CAPPED again!!!

DICE you seem to be at a loss here so let me break it down for you:

1: Disable xp/progression in ur custom portal servers that have bots in them.

2: Re-enable the old xp and progression system they were perfectly fine.

3: That way people cant make bot farm servers 

4: Those same people can go to solo/coop mode like everyone else and progress without harming anyone.

I would do this before the game launches tommorow because alot of people bought this game just for these modes.

( sorry for the quad post I just hope a dev or community manager reads one of these 4 threads )

    @LunatlqueThat's never going to work.

    Being able to play our Portal modes with AI was another major selling point of the game. Even without 2042 progression.

    If they removed that than EVERYONE should deserve a Full Refund no matter how much playtime we have !!!

    A solution would be to Automatically Unlock Everything for Weapons and Attachments in the 2042 factions in Portal like how it is for the others 🙂

    Edit: Previous post was fixed 🙂 but my point still stands.

  • @Jesse165 I agree, i changed my original post abit because i understand now that removing bots is not the answer.

    No offense but I hope they don;t for the same reason a couple of us mentioned in the other thread.  Removing options in Portal is NOT the answer.  Bots are just as big a part of Portal as they are in the rest of the game.  Removing them just make a bad situation worse.  .....just in a different way.  

    There are other ways to mitigate the problem of exploitation in the way the progression system works.  They have everything they would need to detect and address "unnatural" progression through the use of throttling, caps, etc. over a period of an hour, per match, a day, etc.  However, they figure would work best. 

  • @Kean_1111You are right Kean, i've seen the error of my ways and already edited my original post abit.

    Edit: Im definetly not saying my solution is perfect or even great. I just think removing xp and progression completely and even in solo/coop  is way over the top

    Yeah, sorry.  Not trying to rip on you.  I just know there is a better way that they can handle it while still keeping Portal a free and flexible game mode as it was intended.
