Portal - full XP with bots possible?

[Powaplaya27]

Hi,

I have been messing around with portal today with the goal to make a portal game with bots that allows full xp, skin and mastery unlocks.

Tried no AI (no bots spawned obviously)
Tried PvE AI - this gave reduced XP and no mastery.
Tried PvP AI on hardest difficulty - same xp as above and no mastery.

Is it possible to make a portal conquest/TDM/Rush whatever with bots that has all the benefits of a sweaty online game? (i.e full XP,mastery and skin unlocks)

No. They removed it after people used that to farm mastery badges. There were a surprising amount of elite tier medics in the game after like two months of the release.

Since release, Portal with xp restrictions is useless. Thousends of players scamed.

I agree pretty much Krankheitsfall.

I like having items to unlock and skins to earn etc while playing but I get tired of the sweaty nature of PvP,

Having the ability to make your own portal game against bots, chill out and earn ya skins that way shouldn't be a big deal right?

I think honestly the grind for skins/masteries is what keeps a lot of players hooked and the quicker they earn the skins the quicker they are likely to quit BF 2042. This is why I think DICE went from being able to earn skins/masteries in portal to stopping players from being able to do this.

Does it matter if a player earns a medic mastery in a week really?

The only thing that would make sense to not earn in bot play would be attachments because this would give the player an advantage in PvP, but that's the one thing you CAN earn vs bots.

Trickling in 5/10/20 kills or whatever for a skin that requires 1000's of kills etc is adding to frustration rather than making the (for me) game experience tailorable to how I would like to play and enjoyable.

Yeah I don't think it matters if you do a ♥♥♥♥ ton of kills in Portal since they make money on skins and not on game content , the most important thing is that you play the game.

not possible, but moderate xp is still good. been unlocking new stuff no problem.
