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

Welp, no surprise here, but the update once again hasn't solved anything lol. Still can't progress through challenges, and no 128 maps or team switcher/randomizer for Solo/Coop. Although I'm shocked they let you atleast earn the vault weapons, so I guess there's that...

But that still doesn't really help us out lmao. How can exp boosting servers on Portal have FULL PROGRESSION, but anything to do with bots is a no no?  Just allow us to play how we wanted too since launch. The Solo/Coop 64 maps are lame, and playing on the US all the time on each map gets repetitive. Even the new map is like that...and the fact that you STILL can't do the battlepass challenges is a joke...

@Tman26242Yeah its stupid isnt it? People playing the EMP servers in Portal will have the Battlepass done in no time farming millions of xp in a matter of days.

You cant change anything in solo/coop and actually have to play the game and objective, and yet PVErs cant have full prog and xp for this.

They should expand on solo/coop too, add it to Rush, allow options of attack and defend in Rush/BT, or rotate it after a match. And add the option to play 128 or 64 players.

Based on this response by @Straatford87  in the update thread, we should give up. 

Thanks for doing absolutely nothing to improve this aspect of the game with this patch!  You've outdone yourselves once again!

The AI appears to be even dumber than ever. My! My! What an accomplishment!

Glad I found this thread with like-minded people. I don't like to play PVP much, I prefer the co-op against advanced bots but it's frustrating not being able to gain ribbons or levels for my weapons. I do love this game but I think this oversight will certainly take away much of its replayability and long term enjoyment 😔 

Oh but don't worry guys! They're giving us free stuff like a free tea bag charm for our guns! That makes everything so much better and fixes the problems.

(It doesn't. I can't put into words how much I despise this company's negligence)

While we're on the subject... if there's any dedicated PvE players out here over 40, please send me your email address in an IM on this forum, and I will email my friend info for Steam and Origin.

I'm east coast USA, age 57. PvE ONLY. plus some other shooters too.

Been saying this over and over again since they nerfed the solo/coop progression due to farming...

Dice, please...either in 2042 OR the next BF game...just simply give our in-game profiles 2 separate progressions. A solo/coop progression (PvE) AND a competitive progression (PvP). Both using the same exact unlocks/ribbons/attachments/skins, etc.

This way whatever we earn in PvE stays in PvE and whatever we earn in PvP stays in PvP...there, EVERYONE HAPPY AND WE ALL WIN AND PLAY HOW WE WANT, and DICE ENDS UP THE HERO!

*** Would be nice if one of the EA Mods here could get this suggestion into the right hands at the dev dept.

@Chief2GFD  Dice why wont you turn on full xp and progress in solo/coop? Especially when people can grind tons of xp in no time in Portal, that you cant even do in solo/coop!!!

Isn't it obvious why they don't do it? Same reason why half the new weapons they just release are for PvP only. To make the PvP players feel "special".

They feel it's ok to diminish PvE players world-wide...but god forbid they do anything to turn off a PvP player, or even the LGBT players for that matter, heh.

Apparently they feel that PvE is bottom of the totem pole, not worth talking to or responding to

@Chief2GFDPVP players can grind many many 10s (sometimes even 100s) of 1000s of xp and prog in a round in certain Portal servers so there is nothing to complain about. And usually they always full-ish when Im browsing through the Portal servers. Cant even get anywhere near as much in solo/coop.

There is literally no issue and no reason at all as to why solo/coop still needs to be restricted, Dice, just turn off the restrictions in solo/coop, its time.

Cant even change anything in it apart from the difficulty..............................
