@Nightflyer735Those days are gone, and in part because every FPS dev has added pointless RPG progression systems and unlocks into these games and essentially trained a generation of gamers to expect this kind of thing.
It's very much a 2-way street here.
I totally agree, but look what it has done.
It is now starting to back fire.
People will soon get fed up of XP and not care anymore.

@Nightflyer735It's a simple fix at this point: Take the L and just re-enable XP so people can have fun while progressing. I don't see how it compromises anything within the game, there's nobody bloody playing it and maybe this will breathe a week or two of life back into Portal mode.
Even if we have absolutely no visibility on the plans for the future for Portal...or AOW...or the game in general.
True Battlefield players don't give a flying monkey about XP...
That is not the problem!
Portal is not dead because of XP. It is lack of content, and simple things like comms.

It would be even easier: Just put in some XP modifiers for different options. You want to turn up the damage of side X by 90%? Easy, 90% less XP. Want to increase the health by 50%? Easy, 50% less XP. Could be so easiy, they could even put in a little notice like "Attention player, this configuration gives X% less XP". They could have also released a small PDF or just put it onto their website, that specific configurations give only X% XP. Really hurts, how the studio can be so blind and chooses the worst way.

You are obsessed with XP, i dont care about you!
Go play some other 'farming game'
XP is needed to progress, unlock things etc. Also for when the BP is released. Why would people play where xp and progression will not be awarded? I mean yeah its also about having fun, but people want that feeling of progression too, and to unlock the few goods it offers, and for when the BP comes out.
Tons of people dont play Portal because of the restrictions, i have seen it everywhere. Also seen whole communities that dont want to play it because of this. They wanted to build proper community servers for the members but no one will play it. Everyone is pretty much forced into AOW because that is the only way to get proper xp and progression. A lot of people (including myself) bought BF2042 for Portal.
XP and prog has been in BF games for a long time now and is the reward for the activities you do. Just because you might not be bothered about getting it, a lot more people are, hence one of the main reasons as to why Portal is dead.

Your post is proof that the whole XP thing has killed Battlefield...
Wow
Portal has a ton of potential, more than I have seen in any other game in a long time.
However, it is being completely mismanaged, just like the rest of the game.

Absolutely, the obsession with gaining XP is off the scale.
EA and DICE have obsessed over it so much, they have killed a massive BF community..
Classic case of Management not having a clue...

@Nightflyer735You are right, the moment you reach the Silly levels, xp become irrelevant. The only thing that counts is kills on the road to Tier 1 unlocks.
True BF players don't care about XP..... or Tier1 COD players.
I feel like im surrounded by babies..
The future is bleak...
I AM OUT.................
Played BF2 competitively.
How old are you??
DICE
How old are you??
