I don't understand on why DICE is so adamant on alienating the PvE players. That SEED video you posted almost 4 years ago flaunted on how you guys are spearheading this amazing self learning AI and that the next battlefield games will give PvE players the same experience as PvP players but basic things like flying planes or driving hovercrafts is something the AI can't even do in this game. Then you remove ribbons and the ability to play with 127 AI from players and now we can't even get the weekly rewards? Are you serious? Why not increase the number for PvE players at least? Have it so it's 30 marksman kills for MP and say, 60 for PvE. Even call of duty gives battlepass and challenge rewards for PvE! Ex: get 10 kills in mp or 50 kills in zombies. I was on the fence about getting the year 1 pass but it's clear none of the stuff coming out will be relevant for PvE players right? It's seriously insulting to bait pve players into getting this game only to leave them hanging. I knew there had to be a caveat when you said there was gonna be AI on this, you bait and switched pve players in star wars battlefront 2 as well and I should've known.

@FeatherTickles Actually the Coop mode in Star Wars Battlefront 2 does have Full Progression.Its still 1000 times better than this game ended up.

@Trokey66 If Dice where giving away their Christmas bonuses for the first player to wrack up a 1000 kills then fair enough, that is something to be earned.This is for a naff looking skin.I didn't go near the PvE and even I think just let them have the unlocks. It's a naff reward for coughing up the cash to play a game. This isn't going on anyones CV, so what does a poxy skin matter whether you play PvP or PvE?If I unlock it through PvP it's because I enjoy playing PvP, the skin is just a bonus not a reason to play Battlefield. Same for anyone who prefers PvE, one group isn't better than the other, keep the rewards the same for both.

@loveubf They should’ve admitted it was half baked instead of leading people on. It’s EA after all, it’s half my fault for thinking they give a rat’s *

@Trokey66"1200 kills and would take less than 12 rounds of Breakthrough to achieve" - if you play the game in a natural or pure way as it is intended then no, it would take much longer than what you claim....but if you're farming yes, that's correct."Players abused the system and DICE took steps to prevent such abuse, it really is that simple." - I'm afraid it's not that simple.You see, when DICE "took steps" they actually broke a good portion of the game's content unlocking system for a good chunk of players. Now of course players who are mostly interested in playing PvP are largely unaffected by this. But those who are focused on mainly playing PvE are affected in a huge way.This IS a PvE game, lets not forget that fact, and to discount PvE players is what has been happening."I disagree that that the easy route should gain 'reward' at a similar rate to the 'harder' route especially when it comes to the likes of weekly missions etc." - you are very welcome to disagree, of course......but the terms "easy/hard" are completely relative to the player, his physical and mental ability as related to his age and medical condition, his skill level, the amount of time he spends playing, how he prefers to play the game in which mode/s, who he plays with, and also the bot difficulty settings.So, what you are suggesting is that just because you think a player is having an easier time of it than you are, that they should be discriminated against? In fact, they may be having a much more difficult time than you are.That is a double standard, my friend, and then we can turn that around on you very quickly. For example...we can state that playing PvE is the high road to take since it is a more emotionally stable and a healthier way to play with your friends (instead of beating them up and being rewarded for killing them in-game) and therefore should be more highly praised and rewarded and so the game should actually be rewarding PvE players more handsomely than PvP'ers.So, you're opinion may not necessarily be based on the reality of the situation, lets keep that in mind.Let's also not forget that one day you, and other PvP'ers, will likely be in our position and wish to mostly play PvE at some later point in your lives...and how are you going to really feel then? Well, if you get treated the way we have been then at the very least you'll likely feel a bit left out and discounted, if you're being honest about it.

@Trokey66 I do understand, and I want more than just the weeklies to be available for solo play; I want *everything* to be available for PvE players.

Why can't I do weekly missions solo?

I think we won't come to a consensus, because the main issue is, as I understand from all the messages, PvE isn't a real game mode for you.
I can understand when you said that nothing is locked because everyone can go to PvP mode to unlock stuff, besides you seem to defend EA/Dice lies, because they don't came with a 255 pages document with all the stuff you can or canot do in the game, but on the other end, you also agree that it's normal to cap PvE XP and rewards because it's unfair for PvP player that you can unlock stuff easily in PvE, and you understand EA/Dice move on that.
So, it's not locked because you have the choice to go PvP, the only limitation is the player and not the game itself, but keeping rewards way from PvE is fair. So, in the end, it's not a choice, because if you want the full progression experience, you have to go the so-called main game mode. But PvE isn't a training mode, and BF has built his popularity partly thanks to the presence of bots and the PvE. Remember that BF is a competitive game, not a PvP game, you can compete vs IA, playing vs real players is just a preference.

Id have to mainly agree with you.
while I didn’t read it all, there are some weekly missions that are just too difficult to do in MP Mode. It’d be difficult in Solo or Co-Op Mode.
I remember some ridiculous ones. Like “get 10 melee executions”. Do you know how hard that is? Or “arm 15 objectives on Rush”. That was worse. Especially since it didn’t always count. And especially when there’d be 5 ppl there trying to arm the thing, it’s only counted who “did it first”. And even then it would bug out.

weekly missions are a pain. All the way back as BFV. It’s be the only time ppl would actually PTFO, or PTFC (play the ——— class). Only time I’d get revived, or have more than one person with me trying to arm or disarm the objective.

see, I could ALMOST see the point of those who don’t want PVE to count, yet Battlefield Portal is either full or limited when it comes to things counted. But weekly missions and unlocks generally count.
so I’m saying if it counts there, in a game mode that anyone can edit to do anything, it should count on solo/coop.

it personally feels like EA hates anything single player, and maybe even coop.
