Feedback on Portal XP Changes - BF6
Hello EA and team,
The main issue seems to be the lack of available space to host servers. A better approach might have been to add more servers so more players could enjoy their preferred experiences, while removing empty ones.
I don’t think anyone asked for such a heavy XP nerf in Portal, at least not to this extent.
Right now, playing Portal feels unrewarding, especially for those of us who enjoy custom game modes with friends and bots — not to farm XP, but simply to relax after intense PvP matches.
I was really hoping the BF6 Portal experience would bring players tons of fun and freedom, but drastically reducing XP gains won’t help achieve that, in my opinion and others too, just have a look on Reddit.
For example, a 95% reduction in weapon XP feels extreme. In BF2042, I used to play solo to unlock attachments and unwind from stressful PvP lobbies, and progression felt fair and balanced.
I’m sharing this feedback in the hope that you’ll reconsider the current XP and reward systems in Portal. If players feel there’s no meaningful progress or reward, many will likely avoid these modes altogether, and that would be a real loss for what could be one of BF6’s best features.
Best regards,
