Portal Conquest 20 players required in lobby is still to high

Their changes literally makes zero **bleep**ing sense.  Portal will just be dead with these changes.  You want to limit XP/weapon progression with lobbies with bots.. okay makes sense.  But with how janky it is to use the server browser and find servers you want, it's impossible to find a full server that has not used bots to backfill to get filled with real players.  Even once the bots are removed and it's a full server, there's still zero weapon progression regardless if you're still getting end of match XP.

So you can't use bots to backfill if you want XP/weapon progression, but let's also make it **bleep**ing impossible to get a legit server stated without backfilling bots because of how hard it is to actually use the server browser.  Makes total sense

I totally agree! It’s almost impossible to start a community server like this. The threshold needs to be 4 like in previous instalments so the server can fill up while playing. No one will wait for the match to start if there needs to be 20 people to start it. It just takes too long and people get bored waiting.

Also, a clan system with a priority system would be nice. Like in the old days.

as of today EA have now changed it to start with any player count and if you select no bots it will be full XP 

Hi i also live in South Africa and also find it rediculous that we spend so much money for a game then we cant play it like all other countries who dont have the same problem . Give me a REFUND if EA cant  fix this problem.

So now we need 20 players in lobby to start whereas people who want to play with bots only need 8 players jn lobby. Make a no sense EA.  Why is the threshold higher for those that don't want bots in there server!

I agree.

Please remove the minimum human players to start a match. Let us enjoy the game we want to. Our clan has been playing battlefield together since BF1942 and often only have 4-6 of us online. We have always had so much fun picking a point to battle over, and just being hooligans. Not every battle has to be mass chaos and dozens of players.
