With the Player Base rapidly shrinking I think it is even more important now that they reduce the number of players needed to start a round.
I notice that they actually increased the number of players needed to start World Tour (Official Portal Mode). It was always a one player start (like most of the OPM's) but they raised it to 4 which seems strange.
How do you guys feel, would you be happy with one player starts in all modes. ?
Reducing the number to start would be a vast improvement!
One-player starts would be nice.
Even after all this time, they still refuse to allow people to start games with 1 player or get full xp on the solo/co-op modes? I thought they would eventually go the battlefront 2 route and just open up the co-op game mode to full unlocks once the player base started dying. Instead they decided to remove the ability for games to even start with less than 4 players because god forbid someone get kills and progresses against the AI in a game that no longer is supported.
I think because the bots are so easy they had no choice.
axemastersinc The bots in solo/cool for sure. However the bots in Hardcore Conquest are a different level. They always know exactly where I am despite the lack of a minimap and even if I did not give away my position by firing.
Even if the bots are super easy, what is the harm in people playing against them and progressing at this stage of the game cycle? I understood (but was annoyed) when they severely limited progression early on in the game release, but now it just feels like they refuse to give in and change a decision they made 3 years ago. (For those that don't remember, they had full xp and progression in the modes against AI during the early release, then took it away without announcing it. Plenty of us were mad because we bought the game specifically because there was full progression and immediately it was taken away.)
Would be all for it, indeed.
Come on Dice what's keeping you from implementing lower player count to start? The population is thinning and it's getting harder and harder to start any other game mode than the Outbreak event which only requires 4 to start. Now I have no other option than to fight AI and with that I don't have the freedom of using the specialists and loadouts I want.
Let normal game modes like Conquest and Breakthrough start with less players too and backfill with AI until more real people join and fill the server.
If I want to fight AI bots I can play solo/coop, so please don't make these events like Outbreak as prominent on the home page of the game next time and also don't let them last 2 weeks.
RanzigeRidder2 Yeah 100% this. I strongly believe there should be single player starts for all game modes, especially at this stage of the games life cycle. .
DICE please make it happen so we can maximise playing time and minimise waiting time.
