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,

  • PORTAL IS DEAD  no full xp all thanks to farming servers  so now everyone has to suffer how unfair for those who want to create a ligit experience it was the hole reason I purchased bf6  in the first place its horrible fighting sweats all day on official servers  hope this changes in the future the majority of the player Base shouldn't have to suffer because of a serton players farming  im glad the there is server space but there's no point in playing portal now if nothing counts towards progress  very disappointed

    If they cared at all about server space, they'd allow rentable servers.  They marketed portal in a way that made it seem like you could have a server with an official game mode and full progression no matter what.  Now they have changed EVERY portal server to modified XP, no matter what the settings are.  And all without any communication about it.  Extremely shady.   

    I don't know why they just don't bring back the Solo/Co-Op from 2042.  That was a great option to have if you didn't want to game with the sweats.

    The fact they rolled the bot exp nerf without any communication is criminal and shady. How come we get near perfect communication with almost EVERY change except this one? Where's the post that says, "we nerfed bot exp from 100% to 10% to combat server issues," it's nowhere to be found. Shame.

    I honestly don't think this change was meant to "free up server space" but instead, used it to enable the abusive weapon grind that these guys are convinced a normal player can complete. Fix the issue at its core and people won't feel the need to grind bots just to have a functional weapon or two. Once players figure out how long its going to take to level up their guns, they're going to abandon the game. Most players have not played the game long enough to feel how long the grind will be. Even with the new "weapon exp buffs," the grind is still unrealistic for 85% of the playerbase. If they cared about server space, they would reinvest some of their earnings back into the game and get more servers. Plain and simple. 

    Tell the people what you did to the bot xp and by how much

    They could just introduce the daily limit, so the casuals that play 2 hours could enjoy their world of bots with full progress experience, but those who play a lot will be reaching limit and will be pushed to play real multiplayer with other "hardcore" players.

  • quite literally no one asked for the xp nerf, they went back on their word "complete reward and exp gain on verified game modes" yeah right what bs. There was no reason for them to nerf xp as there are many other solutions to this aside from just nerfing xp gain into the ground from portal servers. they could've got rid of the perm servers, added a afk or macro detection systems so then it can prevent farmers, more servers and many other thing as well. There was absolutely NO NEED to nerf xp.
