Portal Conquest 20 players required in lobby is still to high

Portal Conquest 20 player in lobby threshold for the round to start is still to high.  Communities do not want to play with bots but it takes a number of round to populate a portal/ community server.  This has always been the case so setting such a high threshold will block communities from hosting games. 

Please set a far lower round start threshold of 4 instead of 20 which we can reach with human players NOT bots. This way we can turn off Bot Backfill  so the servers can be seeded by gaming groups and will then fully populate over a round or two as in every other Battlefield title.

  • Thanks all. They actually fixed it.  Threshold is now 1 to start and Full XP for servers without bots!

    And thanks for also fixing it!

  • 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
