@2DoorzZz How was the game marketed? With FULL progression any way that you choose to play. And why does it matter how someone plays the game? Does it affect YOU personally?
I have no idea how it was marketed in regards to progression. I don`t care. I am also disappointed about the PORTAL XP limitation.
There are bigger issues with the game than your solo mode. You should be thankful there is even an option for a solo mode. Progression to mastery 12 is enough for solo. All attachements, all weapons.
Does it affect YOU personally that you don`t have the Red&Black skin?What for? do you want to show off to the bots or what? There is a solution for that....play with us. We are more than happy to play with you on the AOW. Then we can all have more running matches.
I would feel cheated because of portal or the lack of Hardcore. But i can honestly wait and hope that they will implement it. Until then i play with the rest of the people ranking up......SLOWLY.

The bigger issues are all part of the same decision making that caused the solo/portal limitations - 4 years ago
Oh shut the hell up PvP elitist. If you can't agree with us then * off. Sick of seeing so many of you around here.

So am I reading the side tweets correctly?
Seems that they're removing all progression related to weapon attachment unlocks, player cards, skins, etc if you play against the AI bots?
Am I reading into that posted jpeg correctly??
- 4 years ago@BigShottt Yes you do.

even if they open things up to get all unlocks via single player, when you look at your tier 1 skins and level whatever mastery...deep down you'll know you didn't earn it against real players. you got it against bots that run extremely predictable patterns and are a joke to farm.
i won't know, others won't know, but YOU will know

As per usual, reward the nasty cheating competitive players only and make the Non-Comps suffer.

And I honestly do not care. To me, the T1 stuff shows that I've put time into the game. Doesn't matter how I earned it or the effort it took. It just shows I have spent time in the game. Which is exactly how it should be.

I am not sure which is the least admirable thing of the two:
To farm bots for the unlocks
Or
To play in PvP in a way that helps get unlocks but compromising the ptfo.
I think the latter is worse and I see it very often. These players are often less useful than a bot
To be fair, the unlock tasks in BF2042 are a lot better than in BFV. But DICE owned themselves by advertising univeral progression and bots that fill player slots when one team is missing some.

what can you unlock that would prevent you from ptfo?

@PsubondFor example when I was getting Casper to Tier 1 by getting in a safe place and doing nothing but spotting for the entire round.
Personally I think that spotting is very valuable but one of the rando squadmates did not liked that I was not playing "normally" and I had to deal with his abuse until I found how to mute him.
Now I am trying to get Boris to tier 1. To optimise this one needs to find a spot where the turret can shoot at people but is not their first priority as well as staying next to the turret for max damage.
I really feel dirty for playing that way and for underperforming but this is what it takes to get a good mask to cover Boris's face with. - Psubond4 years agoLegend@UP_Hawxxeye you can use the turret at capture points, people do it all the time. spotting is also very valuable
- UP_Hawxxeye4 years agoLegend@Psubond
I do that a lot but it seems that it is not efficient enough unless it is a mode with a small scale map that forces people in predictable destinations aka Rush. And Rush requires arming and disarming someone who needs to maintain the sentry at an idea location and stay next to it cannot arm/disarm much ☹️ - Trokey664 years agoSeasoned Ace@UP_Hawxxeye Depends on how quick you want to rank up.
Doing it your way 'at the expense of PTO' will be quicker but you don't have to do that, playing the game 'normally' will still afford xp albeit at a slower rate.
Your call. - Trokey664 years agoSeasoned Ace
And those saying 'but it was marketed as....' need to re read the Terms and Conditions they 'signed'.
- MackTKau4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Trokey66 Something that gets my goat is people saying "DICE SAID THIS WAS A LOVE LETTER TO BATTLEFIELD FANS".
Portal was. 2042 itself wasn't.
Now there are issues with portal and 2042 but people claiming they were "mislead" over 2042 because of that four letter marketing catchphrase is nonsense. - UP_Hawxxeye4 years agoLegend
@Trokey66
Personally my preference is to get "distractions" out of the way first.
As about the Terms and Conditions... I am sure they are carefully writen to protect the creator and publisher from liability.
But that does not protect them from discontent and the feeling of having been lied to.
I hope any of those who feel the game really betrayed their expections will be more wary customers in the future and make sure they know what they buy before paying. Because the first thing every game does is to have you sign away most of your rights as a customer. - Trokey664 years agoSeasoned Ace@UP_Hawxxeye They sign the agreement every purchase.....
Section 4. Availability of EA Services and Updates.
"We also may make Updates or changes to our games and services, which might impact your use or game progress"
Everyone in this thread that is/has played the game agreed to this.
It goes on to state "without notice to you" however, in this instance notice was given and the reason why. - UP_Hawxxeye4 years agoLegend@Trokey66 It is too bad DICE did not excersise that right more in BFV where the assignemnts needed a massive overhawl they never got.
