It's this kind of BS from a so-called AAA game developer that makes me want to vomit. I invested a TON of time and money into this company over the years... BF2, BF2142, BFBC2, BF3, BF4 and BFV... now handed this hunk of garbage. Aren't companies supposed to go forward in development? Feels like this has gone 10 steps backwards. Didn't they learn a lesson from after Hardline failed?
I totally! 100%! Understood why they locked progression up with Portal. But Solo-Coop shouldn't have been touched as it's not like you can edit any of the settings like you can in Portal.
But why is it that Portal progression hasn't been fixed, when it was like... Day 1 of Early Access that they killed progression and here we are almost an entire MONTH and nothings been done? Yet we're somehow supposed to be content and happy playing this hot mess?
And IMO... yes it should be harder to achieve Mastery and Tiers in Solo-Coop/Portal... but to totally lock Tier 2 and 1 out of our hands and force us to play MP? That's some serious BS and why I'm looking at doing a charge back so I can take my $95 I spent on this game and by something that not only works... but where the developers aren't going to ignore me and go back on thier own statements. Or was I dreaming when I read that progression was supposed to be the same across ALL MODES?
I know this is offtopic to this situation but i feel like some people should look at my thread and share anything that i may have missed out

@sagagt505 thanks for replying so I can get unlocks on each weapon but only a few? Tier 3 would be like 150 kills? I don't care about my levels really it's just the actual attachment unlocks I'd like
@sagagt505 excellent I didn't realise that still annoying overall but I suppose I can smash that out now cheers
So basically Portal will die a slow death because people wont play with restrictions. Whole discord communities refuse to play it and tons of other people. Well done Dice or whoever you just killed Portal, you know that "love letter to the fans"
Promised features ripped away after 1 day, well done. You are driving away your players
Well Portal is a write off. Nothing on solo/coop yet.
Its like they dont realise just how many players they are losing because of this! There is a lot of unhappy players responding on Twitter

Kinda funny to watch EA DICE shoot themselves in the foot.
telling everyone about something that 99% of the player base knows of
Well seems to be over, after todays official answers via Twitter its clear progression is not returning, definitely not in coming future. What a scam game....
@Radious1987thats for Portal only, still no word on solo/coop.
But yeah Portal isnt worth touching now (apart from the odd featured one), many other players will feel the same
I wish they would at least offer some 'officially authorized experiences' in portal for solo. As a singleplayer, I'm getting a little burned out on playing AOW/Breakthrough 64 player maps. Where is Rush for solo/coop?
So, this is confirmation of the bait and switch that they have pulled. EA / DICE promised us one thing (ability to progress fully in every mode even against bots). Instead of properly policing XP farms as they seem unwilling or unable to do, they have once again done the easiest thing for them and cap/block full progression and deny the earning of ribbons.
They touted the fact that their AI would be nearly indistinguishable from players, so why is this an issue?
I paid nearly $100 for Early Access and the ability to play the game the way it was advertised, that was taken away on day 2 of Early Access. I am nearly 50 years old, have been gaming for 40+ of those years, but my reflexes are nowhere near what they were when I was younger and I certainly don't have the time to waste playing against sweats and tryhards.
I am definitely not going to waste my precious time for reduced XP and capped progression when the opposite was promised.
I was looking forward to custom modes in portal, perhaps being able to create similar (albeit limited) things to Arma. Portal could have been amazing, but now it is effectively dead.
After the disaster that was Anthem, and EA ultimately giving up on the game and the people who were (and still are) passionate about it, this will be my last EA game.
They have lost the pulse of the community, RIP Battlefield.
Long live Battlefield Royale 2024 😢
Well this game is dead for the MAJORITY of us who bought it based on progression through SOLO/COOP and PORTAL..nice knowing they screwed us through false advertising
@wildchldit really is a sad affair, especially the way they had said we could play our own way without restrictions. I have seen other people posting that have mobility issues that bought this game for solo/coop only on the same premise, only for it to be taken away after 1 day.
That twitter I linked is for Portal only. They have said nothing about solo/coop yet, but I have been asking about solo/coop on Twitter. I will continue to do so because this is not right. They have already dug Portals grave, sure hope they dont do the same for solo/coop
I just read the Battelfield Twitter post about XP, and, besides the fact that they’ve just killed Portal, they say that All-Out Conquest and Breakthough have normal progression, but it wasn’t the case last night. Has something change ? I’m at work so I can’t test this out.
Bought for portal and left because of portal
@Spidder81Ok thanks, So they consider All-Out Warfare to be MP by default, without precising that there is a solo/Coop mode. Honestly, if they keep the cap on All-Out solo/coop, it will be the biggest scam ever. There is absolutely no reason to cap the official All-Out experience. It’s the base experience, without modifiers.
