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

Finally the S5 patch notes arrived

The bad news. Restrictions are the same. Thankfully not for the worse since we can still at least do BP challenges and such and with squad management in place I imagine we should be able to play with AI teammates. So things aren't too bad...

The good news. Well, they didn't return to adding any more restrictions so we can expect what we had this season. HOWEVER we can now play breakthrough in Portal with bots...Although it pretty much makes AOW Solo/Co-op completely obsolete

What this means is we can no longer progress the battle pass missions AGAIN. WHY DICE. WHY ARE YOU JUST DISABLING STUFF ALL WILLY NILLY WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE. SCUMMY MOVE

@Maxthewicked100If this is confirmed by other players, then perhaps a Community Manager can reach out to their contact to let them know about it.

I havent had a chance to play yet myself, but I will shortly and I'll try to report back as soon as I can.

I can definitely confirm progression is screwed. We're back to square one. No ribbons, no mastery, no bp progression nothing.

My trust is already torn so I doubt a community manager will fix it. I dare them to prove me wrong.

Yeah, progression in Portal vs AI only has been disabled, what worked before v5.0.0 update, is not working anymore from today. This is very bad idea.

Okay this just in after razing high hell about this. Learned that portal vs ai only ISN'T the only affected thing regarding progression. It turns out someone's weekly missions also were not counting in official portal servers as well....This had better be a bug or so help me...

Maybe it's buggy because they were trying to remove ALL of the restrictions?

One can dream.

Portal editor shows that it's only giving restricted Player XP but nothing else.

No settings changed from default, other than adding PvP bots.

No more ribbons, no more missions....hopefully this was just an oversight.

It's now been confirmed on Reddit that this is unintended.

I hope that it will be an easy fix.

These things are server-side

Hopefully since DICE is investigating the issue can they also look at relaxing some of the simple settings such as team era selection, game time, and reinforcement multiplier to name a few.

@UP_HawxxeyeLooks like the guy who "flips the switch" was off today. Lets hope he's not away on vacation.

I wish that all game studios treated fixing issues that harm the player experience as urgently as fixing the issues that improve the player experience.

I mean if the bots were accidentally giving full EXP, they would had acted right away.

This is not even some DICE exclusive thing. Even the Zelda devs rushed to stealth fix a useful duplication glitch in a single player adventure...

In my opinion This was probably meant to inflate the servers for multiplayer on launch of season 5. 

Maybe, and considering how this is typically a quick backend fix yet hasn't been attended to after 48 hours is making me wonder if it wasn't actually intentional.

Who knows, I'm tired dude, I'm just plain ol' tired of the usual mess.
