Please remove 20 player requirement for no bot servers from Portal

If anyone from Dice hears this, please remove 20 player requirement for 64 player Conquest in Portal. Please make it 1 player to start the match like it was in 2042. At the moment for full xp in Portal, you have to disable bots but it's harder to fill it up because you can't start the match without bot backfill and people don't want to stay in starting screen for long. 

Edit. 

Just updating old post but please remove 20 player requirement from no bot backfill servers. Make it 1 player to start the match. Well, if not 1 then at least 8 players for pvp servers.  It is strange that bot servers need 8 players and pure pvp servers need 20 players to start the match. 

Thank you!

  • We waited 4 hours and couldn't get 32 players. Please let us start with 1 player.

    Totally agree.  It's another clan killer and is actually adding to the bot farm issue as its almost impossible for a community portal to operate without bots.

    Normally Community Portals / servers are seeded by a few players and naturally populate over the course of a few rounds.  These ridiculously high lobby thresholds are making it impossible to host a portal without inadvertently turning it into a bot farm!

    bump. this needs addressing. want full xp and for my server to start. needing 32 "friends" to invite and maintain is ridiculous.

  • Thank you for listening to the people EA/Dice. Thx for lifting the 32-player limit. Even my ping has improved from 100 to 25! I've currently changed my Steam comment from negative to positive because things are being fixed. :)

  • Bumping this again. We want to play without bots on my portal server but 20 player requirement now is too steep. Please lower it back to 1 player for no bot backfill experience. Or at least 8 but not 20. It is strange that with bots, you need 8 players but if you want pure pvp server you need 20 players. Thank you!
