Re: Progression not working properly for weapons and vehicles (Solo/Coop AI)

@united_we_rideProgression works on those servers because they are essentially PvP servers. They are open and setup to provide "competitive" play. They are not designed to offer PvE (which would mean all human players that joined would be placed upon the same team).

For instance, when I create my own Portal server I make it so that any humans that join will all be placed upon the same team, so that the end result is humans -vs- bots.

When DICE creates an official Portal server they set it so that joining humans will be placed evenly on both teams, thereby making it a PvP environment. Of course if the servers are empty or have very little humans joining then it has to fill up with bots so then it inadvertently becomes a half arsed PvE'ish place to be... but, since those servers are meant, essentially, for PvP DICE allows normal progression on them.

@united_we_rideTechnically, I don't think those type of servers (empty) should be starting without a minimum amount of joined players. So I don't know why they aren't waiting for more players to join before they start. Either it's a mistake in the way that DICE has set it up OR it's Dice's way of being forgiving to players and giving them an easy way to level up now and then...sort of like a freebie mentality...who knows.

At this point, the only real way we can gain their attention is if we spam new topics involving to uncap AOW Solo/Co-op. We need to be heard and if they refuse to listen, then we must have ours hands forced. Link this forum here and make SURE they hear us by spamming the same request.

@Maxthewicked100Seriously? I think you need to step away from your computer for awhile, son. Tantrums will get us nowhere, I'm afraid, it's not that simple.

Like hell I do. I've been patient for 8 f u c k i n g months. I've watched rewards come and go by. I've begged and pleaded for answers and they've IGNORED us. Ran with our damn money. Its unacceptable.

Aaaand I got banned from the discord for saying I hate the dev team. Cool. This community can suck a fat one. And the dev team can also do the same with the money they robbed from us.

Wrote a ticket, which was closed immediately and marked as 'unresolvable'. Bumped it three times, but was silenced with an 'unresolvable' flag each time. What ist this EA? You're just taking our money and run with it, right!? You can't sell a product on promises and change them that drastically afterwards. This is fraud-level stuff.

See my post here regarding this ideology of PvE vs PvP.

IMO, we can't force THEM anymore than they can force US. Perhaps we should look upon this opportunity as an olive branch that needs tending, and be careful not to sh*t on it :-)

Let's not forget, afterall, that it's been about 15 years or so since we had bots in a BF game... and now we do :-)

Let's not forget that we also get to play the "unlock game" without needing to do it within a PvP environment :-)

So you see, we are getting there and have to give them credit for at least giving us this, so far.

So let us be vocal, but respectful, in how we feel they could improve the unlocks for us going forward.

@UGCHazard??

I believe I've understood this thread just fine. I am an early contributor to it.

Perhaps you are confused about something, I can't really tell because I don't understand what you're trying to say to me.

I think the worst part in all of this, I used EA Access to play the game early to decide if I wanted to buy it. I bought it because I was so excited that PvE had full progression and convinced a couple other friends to buy it as well because of that. Then once I put enough time into the game that I could no longer get a refund, they pulled the full experience and here I am with a game I paid for premium for that I don't even have installed anymore. I feel like they flat out stole money from me and then disappeared with the lack of confirmation either way in all of this. They just refuse to flat out tell us "PvE will never have full progression again." Instead we have posts from when it was initially turned off saying it is a "temporary measure."

I periodically check this specific thread with some naive hopes that only get crushed every time I connect to this site. Abandon hope, abandon ship, rn I am just having my fps fun with Escape from Tarkov SOLO mod (SPT) and I guess you should try it.

@DominickB3 I’ve been playing FNB TM mode with crossplay off on Series X and most of the time 3 players join. I haven’t got any luck finding an empty match but I did have one where it was a 1v1, the other player was also grinding so we didn’t kill each other.

In FNB TDM there are bots, but in Infantry Conquest there aren't. 

Pretty musch BS to have to do that to find an AI match to get something we all paid for.

Member when DICE said they were working to fix the issue asap.

Member when DICE Said that all experience earned is universal and shared across all modes, even showing tier 1 skins as an example.

DICE if you are reading this we will not forget.

We all remember that...they're hoping we would forgot about it

@phorematMore likely they just don't care in the least that they made those commitments.

I sincerely doubt a single DICE/EA employee even looks at this thread anymore. That's why we're the dumping ground for PVE related tickets and complaints.

Why would it matter to them that a few thousand of us can't enjoy the game we bought the way it was originally sold to us, they have our $100 (+/-).
