Screwing over PvE players again...
So they announced the recent update after total silence since * November. And what do they have to tell us PvE players? To basically go * ourselves. No progression for us on Portal and I doubt AOW So...

Yep I was thinking they were letting us play with the options in the attached image (indicated orange) if AI was kept on default, not allowing the other modifiers (indicated blue).
However, I misread the twitter post, and I'm quite sure Maxthewicked is correct - turning AI on turns off progression.
Essentially I played around with setting up portal game modes when the game released but haven't for the past month and a half so I forgot AI wasn't on by default.
So you are also correct that AI isn't on by default which is dumb. I guess I'm just used to seeing so much AI in AoW that I assumed the settings would match up.
I'm now so much less hyped about the update, I figured portal servers would get populated because players would at least be able to turn AI on and play against them whilst waiting for players to join, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Just played the update and yup. Nope everything still sucks. All we get its 200 additional XP now per minute but still no weeklies, no full progression NOTHING. EA and DICE are scammy scummy dirtbags.
just out of curiosity, would you guys still be mad if they allowed you to unlock all the weapon attachments, badges, images and skins and do the weekly missions in single player but you could not use them in multiplayer (shouldn't be an issue since you don't play multiplayer right?)
- @Psubond I'd be absolutely fine with that. I'd also be fine with them increasing the amount of kills on everything to help make the time commit equal that of an average pvp player.
- @Maxthewicked100 Did they advertise the game for full progression in PvE?
Just wondering because if they did you should have grounds for a refund right?
Or seeing as full PvE progression came as part of the launch game you would still have a case as they have taken away a premise that you bought the game on.

If they did that, I would be okay with that.
