@Kean_1111It's such a weird choice. If they were so annoyed about how badly people were abusing Portal to rapidly grind XP with hardcore settings why not just temporarily disable the hardcore settings or make it so tweaking certain settings removes progression and full XP. Certainly shouldn't take as long as it has to do this.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the hardcore settings in Portal but IMO, no, there shouldn't be any limitations based on your choices in creating Portal Experiences as that completely defeats the purpose of how the progression was marketed. They could however cap the progression so that it stops (like they did now) but within reasonable limits over a give period of time. .....by hour(s), a day, etc.
They have put caps on solo and coop but it's way too extreme IMO. ....unreasonable. It's worse in Portal because you can't even level up in Mastery to unlock 2042 items. You are forced to play solo / coop or in PvP matches. The restriction especially sucks for those that can only play once in a while. They can't devote several hours to grinding for unlocks but have to wait for the very short cap to lift again. I get capped in one match of solo. .....and I don't find it that easy to be honest.
They can allow progression but also keep people from exploiting Portal to unfairly gain XP / progression. The fact that they didn't have any sort of safeguard in place that worked to begin with (when they said they did) is what I can't understand.
More then 2 weeks now since everything was disabled in portal. Result - nobody is playing it, only few full servers every day and thats it. Not suprised, but very much dissapointed they killed potentuialy best thing on 2042 so fast and in so stupid way. Ye ye farmer excuse bla bla. Like any one CARES!
