Custom Portal broken.

Made me a couple of custom experiences, bot backfill, squad spawn type = all. Enemy bots only spawn on one static place and my teams bots literally just farm the other bots like in a bot farm, they gather around the spawn and just shoot every bot that spawns immediately, it's looks like you've input the machine learning from the bot farms. There's not a single bot on my team neither enemy team (if they had the chance) that disperse into the map to actually play or create a playable game.

Also why is there no option to add capture the flag or something in custom experiences? are we just supposed to shoot each other endlessly without a goal? And since you've removed the bots from verified experiences, there's no reason to mention those, they are dead, like who is going to make a verified server and wait until anyone's joining, maybe they get lucky if one person joins after a half hour. Like what are you thinking removing bots, the entire portal experience is useless.

Then i made me a flight practice map on liberation peak and there's no Jets or heli's spawning?

Like what is going on here? Is this a game or what is this suppose to represent?! Because i haven't got the slightest clue anymore.

viethoang24, exactly. It's not that I wont try multiplayer sometimes but I rather relax and play bots (especially because of all the hacking, who cheats at a game...man that is beyond pathetic). I've gone back to BF2042 a few times when I just want to play alone or every now and then with my son. If EA does not fix this, BF6 will end up being a waste of my money and if this is what they want to do moving forward then I will just move on.

They promised full progression. If they didn't then limited would be fine. In many games you can play with multiple characters. They can have one that can be used for Portal only games and another for non Portal PvP. Don't cross the streams and provide full progression.

When you create custom servers in the Portal, it does not have the AI for the bots. They just mill around the spawn point and do nothing else. Why they could not provide the AI based on the game and map by default, who knows. Much of what they do is beyond comprehension.

Bro bots still just spawn and die endlessly. WTF DICE I be trying to make wake island and can't even put bots. Even found a conquest template and everything. MAKE THE BOTS WORK ON CUSTOM TERRAINS or something. Give us NO xp toggle if xp farm is a concern. I just want to play bf6 custom maps bro :(

You should be able to assign object IDs to objects in your custom map and then tell the AI to create a path to that object. There are various ways to tell it to cast rays to "see" and navigate objects in its path with the ability to place waypoints along the top surface of terrain.
It's a lot of hand-holding and who knows if the server will crash with all that workload.
The battlefieldbehavior AI that uses default map terrain performs so much better. I don't know how it works and why it doesn't work for custom terrain.
