So I just found out and verified that there are no bots allowed on verified portal experiences. The option to backfill is greyed out.
So what's the point of portal? Even MP has bots. No bots at ALL? How do you plan to fill your servers?
I thought we'd be able to unlock weapons and attachments vs bots. What happened to that? I'm old. I wear bifocals. I have arthritis. I have nerve damage. I bought this game thinking I could play vs bots like in 2042.
Instead, I have two choices: go into MP where I can't unlock anything because I get killed every 20 seconds by people sprinting and sliding and bunny-hopping all over the place like crazy and coming at me from literally every direction, or play portal for no xp, no unlocks, no rewards.
Dice, I'm disappointed.
When will the bots return? Stop the panic.
Agreed, I don't want to panic and was patient when my wife and I would have to spam a host button for 30-60 min a night just to get to play a match. Didn't go online with outrage and tried to give some compassion while they ironed out the kinks with a new game. However ,I cannot even get a basic game of breakthrough with bots - no progression - to work now.
I simple yes we will bring bots back or no we won't would suffice, so I could move on or wait patiently.
