Bot Backfill Return Date

When will bot backfill become an option again when creating your own experience via portal? 

I realize that EA will never bring progression back to portal because it doesn’t create enough urgency out of its customer base to buy XP packs. At the end of the day, this is a greedy corporation we are dealing with. Our opinions are secondary to profit.

Because of this I have grinded through level 50 and have mostly everything unlocked. So now I would like to reap my rewards by playing some more relaxed games in my own experience, solo vs bots. So that I can actually immerse myself instead of fighting for my life against pro FPS players. 

So when we will have the ability to do this again? Even if they won’t allow us to earn XP, at least allow us to play in the sandbox a bit after a day of hard work!

  • My 3 custom servers still backfill with bots. I must be one of the few that slipped through the cracks.

  • They can blame it all they want on XP bot farming. But their true side appeared soon as they released the battlepass. The battlepass is the real reason we won't get Portals/bots the way we want, they won't have their BattleRoyale filled up or anything if they brought back bots and Portal XP.

    That also answered my question if they were so focused on Leaderboard integrity, why didn't they reset all characters and leaderboards knowing that's how those players got the scores and weapons they use to kill everyone. Because they didn't care about bot XP, they were worried about Battlepass not working the way they want so they shut that sheet down

    Portal return hasn't come back is baffling .. we got season 1 launch today and week 1 challenges as well has a timer .. Hope for its return very soon before week 1 challenges ends. As this is ridiculous this is not what the marketing for Portal stated will say.

    +1 bump, defo waiting for portal/or singleplayer/coop did not play since they killed portal and dont feel like playing anymore. They broken the trust and there promises about portal. Verry verry bad this even more bad they just did it and did not post anything about it since they killed it. Thats so bad insane!!

    I'm sure they'll be happy to talk about it and MAYBE listen to the people that have been giving them money for the last 15 years when Black Ops 7 comes out in a week or so and all the COD kiddies leave. Battle Royal won't last since true Battlefield players didn't want or ask for it in the first place. All they're doing is emulating COD as they emulated Fortnite by trying to jump on the BR bandwagon. Too late. That ship has sailed. The game is broken. TTK is inconsistent, TTD is too fast, Hit reg is laughable, netcode's a joke, the maps are too small, movement's too fast, yada, yada, yada the list goes on. I paid £70 for this tripe and without doing anything to fix it they want me to buy a Battle Pass? I don't think so. Don't even get me started on the destruction of Portal. It's the main reason I won't play. What they've done is downright deceitful and completely disrespectful to the community given the promises made prior to launch. I don't pre-order anymore for these kinds of reasons but I wish I'd waited for this season 1 release before parting with my money. I won't make the same mistake again.
