Ripple/Dice PLEASE save portal...

I am a Portal creator, but I am starting to lose my motivation to invest time in it — even though the potential could be enormous.

You have built a wonderful game, but Portal feels like it is slowly bleeding to death.

In the Netherlands we have a saying: “Better well copied than poorly invented.” I strongly encourage the team to take a serious look at Fortnite Creative, which is years ahead in terms of platform design and creator support.

Comparing Fortnite Creative with Battlefield 6 Portal across key areas provides a goldmine of insights into the direction Portal could evolve toward.

Most importantly, please share a clear update on the future of Portal and its long-term support. At the moment, creative players and creators are slowly leaving — and that is a real loss for the Battlefield ecosystem.

And please give it a try and compare the below bullets with Fortnite Creative. I asked ChatGPT the following: "How does Fortnite address the following issues that Battlefield 6 Portal is facing?" Followed by the bullets below (I can't imagine Ripple already did this, but on the other hand I don't understand why it's in this state now...) It gives a goldmine of information:

The main reasons why Battlefield Portal is struggling:

  1. Portal content is difficult to discover
    High-quality community creations are not surfaced effectively, making it hard for players to find and engage with them.
  2. The menu and UI hide Portal
    Portal is buried deep within the menus and does not feel like a first-class or central game mode.
  3. Server browser and matchmaking do not work well
    Empty lobbies, poor matchmaking flow, and visibility issues make it difficult for players to join Portal experiences.
  4. Portal rules and restrictions limit creativity
    Player-count requirements, bot limitations, and progression restrictions discourage both creators and players.
  5. The connection between Portal and progression creates problems
    Early XP-farming issues led to heavy restrictions, which hurt Portal’s momentum and long-term appeal.
  6. Technical issues reduce trust and engagement
    Stability problems, joining errors, and other technical issues negatively impact the first-time experience.
