Re: Suggestions for Solo/Coop and maybe Portal (game/mastery progression)

@Chief2GFDI agree and disagree. Yes, they did say that progression will be available for all the game mode but they didn't say same progression speed for all game mode and this I blame DICE for not being clear right from the start. They also said that they will monitor and see what can be done to lessen or stop the xp servers from existing which I can understand why they nerfed Portal's progression so hard at the moment because it's not cheap to run a server and if every available "free" server is taken up by these xp servers, those that actually wants to play the game legit won't get a chance to because it's going to keep throwing global game quota exceed error at them. Yes, they did implement a way to drop the server when no real player is in the server but those pesky lil arse will just use bot (not the in game bot AI) to keep the server up. I also feel it's unfair that they are treating Solo/Coop players like that but that's the truth, we just have to face it head on until there's a better idea.

    @Crystalfied I see your point and agree. But I hope they change the Single/Co-op back to normal speed progression.

  • @Chief2GFDI hope so too but I doubt it's going to happen anytime soon tbh especially with all the game breaking issue that are yet to be resolve.

    I don't actually agree with the OP   because no portal server I create will ever have bots in it...

    But kills still don't count towards weapon attachment unlocks at the moment so I just go and farm bot kills in official servers ???   Because farming kills on DICE servers is OK.  I  don't see the logic just put a handicap system in place that reduces point accumulation depending on what setting are toggled.   I mean I know guys getting 300+ kills in solo,   DICE please and you are worried about portal farm servers when you host them yourselves.

  • @ShevermiN My reasoning behind this is because who would want to pay to have xp enable so that they can farm? I know some would but most don't and assuming those that rented the server are legit players, then this can lessen the amount of xp servers. Let's say some guy actually rented a server just so he can farm, DICE would then be able to take down the server and revoke his rental. They can either give a full/partial refund or state in their T&C for server renting that once caught doing, rental will be revoke and no refund will be given. They have already handicapped the point accumulation and the vast majority of the players aren't happy because of that. If I/they really want to farm, I/they can just go do that in Solo/Coop.

    @Crystalfied Unfortunately people will pay, I saw two slot servers in Hardline that players used to unlock all the weapons in the first couple of weeks. That's 2 people in game just shooting each other to get to the 1200 kill mark that unlocked the gun for the other side ?? Can you imagine how boring and tedious that would have been.

    As I said i'm not a bot fan but your solutions are solid I just don't think a price point will put off those who wish to game the system.. 🙂
  • @ShevermiNI know people will pay and that's where the T&C comes into play. I'd rather have just one or two stupid servers than what it is now where i have to scroll through all these servers before a legit one shows up. Honestly, there is no solution to stop these farmers and even with a price, it will only just lessen it but if it can lessen it to only just one or two left, it's already good enough for me.

    Portal needs progression reenabled. Its dead paltform without that. If 2042 gear is there then enable us to level it up jeez.
