portal

[cobalt tinsel]

and UI changes of course

[mild sentinel]

I’m hoping they bring back the portal the way it was at launch

[drowsy lava]

No idea what to say… we almost had it, but not quite.

[real torrent]

not close yet, we still have 30hz servers in the big 2026, no team balancing, atleast give us a couple official persistent servers for each region and let us FAVORITE servers lmao.

[craggy dagger]

great to start but i think 1 would be a little nice.. i mean finding 4 is fine but the ping is a problem,

perhaps considering solo/co-op?

[surreal portal]

yes solo and coop plz :/
Having 4 players doesn't really make any difference...

First find some, and then you can't even set it to only work against bots.

But can see it's possible, so why don't do it like at the beginning of the game? :/ It's a real shame, everything worked without any problems back then. Damn experience lobbies that have ruined the game for us and we're being punished.

😮‍💨
I'm really giving up hope that I bought this for nothing.

By the way, your BF6 XP farm glitch

still exists
and they're just doing it in a different way.
You should take action against that instead of excluding us.

And that's why you chose us for solo and co-op.

[craggy dagger]

if solo/co-op is a bad advantage/problem and if you find it grinding farm then maybe consider that you lower the xp and allat stuff

[surreal portal]

I just wanted to point out that others use it, not me. I'm just complaining about why solo mode etc. is gone; I don't need any experience there...

YouTube and other sites show how it can be done differently.

[gentle gull]

there is an outer shell command post that has no interior prefabs

you use the others command posts with props to furnish it

DONTTTTT try to hand match - either drag and drop the prop onto the regular command node OR just match the x,y,z

[tardy cosmos]

Just did a searched the nodes list and its only showing the props. My bad..

[tardy cosmos]

Is there no way of fixing the minimap/map in portal sands?

[tacit agate]

Anyone willing to jump in and fill a server with me?

[gentle gull]

ill need to look into it - I havent really touch the sandbox tbh

[icy spade]

Come on dice you’re close to fixing this give us solo bots

[drifting knot]

Someone has made a portal map that combines multiple classic COD 4 maps together to create one large 7 flag Custom Conquest map. I believe the maps that he added includes Bog, Ambush, Crossfire, District, Strike and Backlot. I played it recently by randomly stumbling upon in it the portal browser, and it plays pretty well and despite not having the exact same building assets from COD 4 the map sections are still recognizable and play pretty well together.

The code for the map is ZPZ42, btw, Title is Recollection - Conquest

[west vale]

It should be one player to start. BF2 was that way. Bring back the glory days. Dice is stubborn. Launch sales and current player counts reflect a clear change in player satisfaction. This satisfaction changed when they killed portal Full XP. No moderate XP. Nuked all completely into an unreasonable state of uselessness. Playing with bots no longer gave any reward, as if being rewarded for killing bots was a bad thing. This is a game DICE, you took away the fun that most players were having by nuking the bot xp in portal. 4 player start is still 3 too many. I bought your game to play against bots, since to me 2042 was a great move in the right direction with AI. I and many others believed you would just expand on 2042 portal without fundamentally changing the way XP was given. 2042 was 3 steps forward and BF6 was 2 steps back. Please give us those two steps forward again.

[shut skiff]

bruh are yall serious, about you just NIX minimum player count in general

or idk give us something like bf2042 where you could solo with bots as a mode, surely that cannot be that hard

[mild sentinel]

I don’t know why is it so hard for them to start only one player? Just do the same thing back in BF 2042, you only need one player to start a matchup in the portal where the players created their own server and the bots filling up the modes and maps up to 64

[light root]

They want us to spend money on top of buying the BP to skip tiers not that you relax after a long day to play a match or two against bot and call it a day you need to spend 14h a day ingame i personally i can play just 2h at most and dont want to spend them looking for a match that chill not in the lossing team
I always rank 1 in my team with 3 kills and couple revives idk what the rest doing

[craggy dagger]

i like the way dice made changes with bots, proud of yall

that just made my gameplay way better due to ping

yall should do co-op atleast!

[gentle gull]

Once it gets all this figured - maybe they can move onto larger player volumes per game! Imagine a massive 50 V 50 on a 2X size map

[violet wind]

Any helicopter course especially with the little bird?

[mellow chasm]

Then that mode shouldn't be in portal. Solo/co op playlist would be better than lowering minimum player requirement. Because that will be only encourage bot farms.

[cerulean kelp]

I think the 4-player requirement is a good compromise for all of us to prevent bot farming.

[mellow chasm]

4 yes but never just 1. Because bot farmers will just spam 1 player servers with a password and they will take all slots for servers. Global quota will return.

[tall gazelle]

They need to enable the little box when hosting that says "host locally" and let it be solo to start, would be just for the player that started and who they invited

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, that’s true. That would bother me again as well.

Honestly, the best solution would probably be to require renting servers. That would also prevent bot farmers.

[mellow chasm]

No need to pay for something we get now for free. Just lowering to 1 player to start the server with bots would encourage bot farms. I guess only if bots are disabled, 1 player to start would be alright.

[tall gazelle]

Its as simple as
Local hosting = solo start and bots enabled, can invite up to 3 friends, not visible in server list because not a server
Persistent/hosted server = ideally 1 player start, but even 2 to 4 is okay, shows in server list, and stays up until its been inactive for 24/48 hours

I would really like it if servers would have a "lease" time that automatically renews if players were actively playing on the server, it would expire if the server was empty at the renewal time and spin down etc.

That way it helps keep servers more "persistent" and it would be nice if the servers could restart themselves if they crashed that way

But obviously I don't know what the limitations are or what they have planned/how possible my ideas are lmao

[warped heath]

So basically, recent Portal update changes nothing for PvE players, it's only for PvPvE

Host locally verified mode + Bots is Solo. Required development is minimal. Lack of resource is not the reason for it not being developed. They just don't wanna.

You need to remain in the loop, grind weapons slowly, buy xp boosts and be exposed to other players skins.

You may not enjoy the game you bought on your own. Even if self-hosting imposes ZERO costs on EA end.

[shut skiff]

dice almost made me wanna go back to bf6 but that 4 players to start thing needs to go, like literally just nix the minimum amount of players for portal or do a solo bot experience like in bf2042

Looks like ill stick with bf2042 for the time being then haha

[warped heath]

That's what I do.

[gentle gull]

100% facts

[analog hatch]

Portal still abandoned?

[gentle gull]

nah its full throttle babyyy

[analog hatch]

Oh they lowered the required players to start servers now, wow it only took 4 months to change a single number, good job guys

[hollow veldt]

Haven’t played this game in a minute. It was gonna be so good too

[warped heath]

Pay $70 for the game, then $2.50 for tiny XP boosts because portal mode got nerfed . "We can't have players having fun without paying extra, can we?"

[cerulean kelp]

I’m someone who values freedom.
Bot farming isn’t my thing at all — I honestly don’t understand why people would even want to play against bots just to farm XP.

For me, it’s about playing Hardcore with friends in the evening, talking during the day and jumping into battles together later.

But I’m also part of a community. We play fair-play Hardcore. Sometimes players join and intentionally teamkill when the host isn’t there — and without proper admin tools, you can’t do anything about it.

Back in the days of rented servers, we had real admin tools. You could assign admins, use tools like RCON or Procon, and fully customize your server. You always had full XP. There were 30–120 Hz servers, depending on the provider and what you were willing to pay.

For me, those servers were always a core part of Battlefield.
You didn’t just rent a server randomly — you found like-minded players, built a community, and hosted something together.

That was Battlefield for me: logging in at night, joining your community, going into battle together — sometimes against other communities, sometimes against each other — all with your own rules.

For us, it’s simple: fair play, friendliness, no home base camping, no base attacks. Those have always been our rules.

That’s why I play Battlefield.
The large-scale battles, infantry, jets, tanks — no other game has this kind of movement and combined-arms feeling. There were Metro-only servers where a single round lasted four hours.

The best part was always playing with up to 64 people from your own community, meeting new players, building something long-term. That’s something matchmaking systems — like Call of Duty moved to 10–15 years ago — removed completely. And that’s why those games are no longer interesting to me.

I would even be willing to pay for proper server freedom again. Servers cost money — that’s understandable. But only if the concept is right:
• Full server customization
• A proper server browser
• Platoon system
• Real admin tools (RCON / Procon style)
• Servers up to 120 Hz

Battlefield is the best game in the world. And it’s not just the game itself that makes it special — it’s the people you play it with every single day.

Those moments of laughing together, winning together, losing together — that’s what truly makes it great.

That’s why, since I stand for fair play rules, I understand the developers’ decision to require 4 players to start.

It’s really just about preventing XP farming.

[warped heath]

Correct - Portal should have paid tier with no limits (maybe xp/minute cap for bot kills like in bf2042) and full control for the admins.

[teal wedge]

Please make it for weapon level 50 + 10-15 points

[vestal fable]

when are they lowering the player count to start a match?

[cobalt tinsel]

it's 4 players to start right now

[spiral locust]

Check out "Chili Hardcore Conquest 48". Semi / hardcore. No bots and full progress. Popping up now!

[cerulean kelp]

48 players is a really good choice.

[vestal fable]

Which modes? I'm trying to get an official Hardcore Conquest game going and it has 12 bots + me and still requiring 7 more real players to join

[spiral locust]

Conquest

Come join ours and see how it plays.

[cerulean kelp]

Republish the config — even with bots, you only need 4 players to start now.

[vestal fable]

I'm just selecting it from the "View More From Creator" page of BFPortOfficial. Is there another way I should be doing it?

[cerulean kelp]

You can create your own version on the Portal website under “Portal Verified.”

https://portal.battlefield.com/bf6/de-de/login

In Portal Verified, the main modes are already preset. The other settings are all described there as well.

Just adjust everything the way you want and how it suits you. Then click publish, enter a name of your choice beforehand, and you’ll be able to host the server with 4 players and bots.

Or are you able to edit the one from BFPortOfficial?
If yes, then just edit it and republish it. After that, you can host it in-game under “My Experiences.”

[vestal fable]

Find the experience you want to copy on the portal website. in the URL the ID is the last part
battlefield-6/portal/buy/creation/f138d1e0-bb61-11f0-9ab7-59c6118546b6
here the ID is f138d1e0-bb61-11f0-9ab7-59c6118546b6
then go to portal and create a new one.
select game mode default.
then your URL should look like
/experience/settings/mode
here you add the id:
/experience/settings/mode?id=f138d1e0-bb61-11f0-9ab7-59c6118546b6
then it should show you the creation with a yellow top bar that you have to clone to edit this.
you have to click the "more info" text on the right below this yellow bar.
here you can klick clone on the bottom right.
now you can edit it.

that did it for me

[cerulean kelp]

So, is the 4-player start working for you now?

[vestal fable]

yeah

[vestal fable]

yeah, good to go now after republishing

[dense panther]

Nahhhh! Join TheBadBoys 48 Hardcore Conquest No Sniper Server. Always the better choice since BF4 😉

[lofty ridge]

Why did bf6 fall off what am I missing

I took a break for a bit and only came back recently

[hardy eagle]

Short attention span people i would say, no new content every week people

[surreal portal]

Simply so that you can have fun, nothing is forced, and you can just switch off, try things out, etc.
and for some who have hardly any time and can at least travel in a few vehicles

That's why solo and co-op are so important, and it was a start there.

And some of us aren't interested in the exp.

We just want Portal back, where everything was possible in both solo and co-op modes.

[primal fern]

Is there any plan to let us run mixed mode servers? Would be really nice to mix in both rush and breakthrough (also having squad deathmatch and domination available in portal would be really nice)

[icy spade]

That would be cool that’s something I wish 2042 portal had

[cobalt tinsel]

anyone willing to help us fill up our Infantry Rush server in NA? we have two right now, only would need 2 more people to start

[dry vector]

people want to play against bots to chill, not tryhard every time they want to play... there's a reason it's called hardcore

people don't even care if it's not full exp, it's bots after all, but giving people nothing and not letting them unlock attachments is just stupid

and the solution is so damn simple it's insane, just let people play verified modes locally

it literally hurts no one but people are crying about them getting any exp at all playing against bots, I mean in what way does that affect anyone else, they are playing against bots so they are not going to be as good as pvp players anyway and level means absolutely nothing in this game

so let people play how they want to play and how they could play when the game first launched for what like the first 2 months or something

people that just want to play pve are not going to play in the pvp lobbies anyway so you are not losing players to it

if only there was a solo/coop mode in a previous game to use as an example... crazy right?

I wonder if the exact opposite of this happens in the Helldivers community, people crying when others want to add/play pvp and telling them they should get nothing for it

"I don't understand why people want to play against other players"

[cerulean kelp]

In these discussions, nobody is against pure PvE.

The real issue is that some players use PvE to gain advantages that they later exploit in PvP. For example, leveling up weapons in PvE to unlock FLIR faster, and then using that advantage against other players in PvP.

There were PvE lobbies created where the bots barely moved and were holding nothing but repair tools.
Those servers were hosted so frequently that many PvP players and their communities were unable to host their own PvP servers — or it sometimes took up to five hours just to get a PvP community server online.

That’s what the developers are trying to prevent.
And that’s also why the one-player start no longer exists on XP servers.

If I were in your position, I would suggest the following to the developers:

Remove full bot customization options in Portal.
The only bot-related setting should be:
• Fill with bots until players join — yes or no
• Bots automatically have the same health values as players

Then add two dedicated modes:
• PvE Conquest
• PvE Rush

These should be hosted locally, not through Portal, and should be directly accessible from the main menu.

The bots should not be too easy, but also not extremely difficult — balanced.
This way, developers retain full control over bot behavior.

They could test bot difficulty beforehand in Labs, or let DICE game testers fine-tune it.

Since these PvE modes would be locally hosted, there would be no conflict with server hosting capacity.

I honestly think this would be the best compromise for everyone.
Bots would no longer be individually adjustable.
Portal could then allow individual XP again, and maybe even reduce the player start requirement once more.

That’s how I would suggest it from the perspective of a PvE player.

Because the developers have clearly said that they don’t want a one-player start in order to prevent XP farming, we need to look for solutions that take their goal into account — which is stopping XP farming.

The developers are talking to us and actually listening. I’ve honestly never experienced this level of communication and engagement before.

If they are willing to listen to us and respond to our concerns, then we should also listen to them and consider their intentions and requests.

[dry vector]

bot difficulty exists in 2042 also

again none of this is new and honestly unlocking stuff is not a bot problem, it's a taking too long in general problem that they had to buff the first 20 levels in like what the first patch plus these double exp weekends and exp boosts

they know it's a problem

people went into bot lobbies when they could to unlock everything because they didn't want to take literally days to unlocks attachments for a single weapon

again people just want to get on and play, not grind

and when you can just get on, pve and chill, and still unlock stuff at the same time, it's great

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, but the people who didn’t do it were at a disadvantage.

Personally, I want to get something out of the game for a longer period of time. For example, I actually think it’s good that you don’t unlock everything too quickly. In Battlefield, you’ve never unlocked things that fast anyway.

[dry vector]

if there's anything that you unlock that gives you a clear advantage then that's a balance problem, again not a bot problem

[cerulean kelp]

There were definitely some class assignments that were extremely difficult.

It’s good that they reduced the requirements.

[cerulean kelp]

It was a balance problem, that’s true. But then it turned into a bot problem.

Don’t you think the solution proposed above 👆 is a good one for PvE players, since it takes many of the existing problems into account?

[dry vector]

just add solo/coop from 2042, can't alter the bots, it gives less exp, it's local, and you can still unlock everything but at a reduced pace

this problem has a solution that already exists, it's like trying to reinvent the wheel and instead of just using the same round design they introduced the triangle and latest patch is seeing if a square will work

[light root]

They could make progress with bots like in 2042 for example you can unlock attachments for a weapon/vehicle till you hit lvl 30 and then you need to pvp to unlock the rest simple solution existed in 2042 every one would be happy

[mellow chasm]

As long as it is not hosted on Portal servers and doesn't take slots for everyone else. Like in 2042, solo/co op.

[gleaming bay]

When will they add all bf6 modes to creat your server in portal,its so lame,also you cant mix modes??? Why???

[uncut moth]

We also need more separate options for guns like bullet velocity / damage multiplier at least for each weapon category so we can make pistol worth to use as secondaries ; no ON/OFF button for ATH but each information from the ATH to be editable (display or not : ammo, gadgets, mini map, compass, reticle for infantry, reticle on vehicle, 3D spotting when firing, 3D spotting when spot, on/off skins for all players (display skins of your squad mates so you quickly identify them, and so the ennemy with standard skins [being able to chose each standardized skin would be great too]). This + mods by map and persistent servers would make portal a banger to edit and play on

[gleaming bay]

Teah i agree, why create a server with basics like just the map only, and why cant i add more admins to keep it up going and avoid trolls or more

[mellow chasm]

They are already Persistant. You just have to tick the option.

[uncut moth]

Last time I tried, it didn't work, but it's been a while though

[mellow chasm]

Portal has Persistant servers since day 1.

[uncut moth]

This lovely last update so you can start to play with 4 people only will reboot interest into portal and avoir full farming that pollute the list and make unable to create yours unless you click 500 times

[uncut moth]

Option doesn't mean it worked before, but i'll try and confirm if it works correctly (just need to beta my tac mod to tweak it at best before publishing)

[mellow chasm]

Been hosting from day 1. Persistant servers were always available.

[tardy cosmos]

makes me sad when i see AFK XP Farm and XP Farm is the sever when there is no XP to get. Like there is not full XP playing the game normally or playing casual.

[surreal portal]

I agree 100% with you.

[surreal portal]

You can't configure it so that 4 players and bots can't play a bot-versus-bot match simultaneously. It's still PvP.

[hearty oriole]

BF6 OG Grumpy Hardcore Conquest is seeding, need a couple to get it going, wont take long to fill.. just search "Grumpy" in community servers.

[surreal portal]

And simply building a solo or co-op mode from Portal's data would actually be easier, I think, than integrating a new system.
and simply add it to the BF6 interface and do it the same way as in Battlefield 2042.

or simply as offline mode

Thus, the exp would essentially be eliminated from the world on its own.

[warped heath]

I'm 99% sure that bf2042 solo used the same subsystem as bf6 host locally, duplicating code that serves the same purpose makes no sense.

It's not a matter of development effort, it's a matter of will of the management

[surreal portal]

Yes, unfortunately true again 😮

Well, it's just a shame that people who are very busy or have little time are neglected.
Because it's always PvP, we all know how it is, it's a stressful day.

[warped heath]

Yes, this update changes nothing for PvE players.

[surreal portal]

That's really sad 🙁

They should just do it like BF2 or 1942 again; playing with bots was never a problem there.

[west vale]

You do not unlock any attachments in portal PvE, that is the problem. We just want to be able to progress and unlock everything from challenges to attachments in PvE, even if it is at a slower speed. Moderate Full XP for example.

[cerulean kelp]

I only described an idea above.

Just two more lines before your response to me.

[tall gazelle]

What he's saying is that whilst, yes you could unlock those things through PVE only, you would then be able to take those FLIR scopes etc maxed weapons into PVP gamemodes, making it much harder to unlock the attachments in pvp

So it would make everyone host their own server, and then we would be back to the quota limit exceeded, unless they added the solo/coop mode back, which we have no idea about yet

[unborn echo]

Guys what are the best upgrades for the JU-88 in BFV

[merry mantle]

Check out this code:ZS93T

[craggy dagger]

To anyone who wants to plays Conquest but cant cause of the latency/ping/tryhards/sweats?

No problem this server is for you!
CODE: ZDF4T

Hosted by me, credit goes to xXxGIE0xXx for making this awesome PVE which is possible due to the update!

Reminder: try to not be a toxic. if you do it will result in ban.

[light badger]

Hello, I have a Full XP PVE server, but I need another player to start the game. I, along with two other trusted friends, usually play together; we just need one more person. More people can join, but for now, we want PVE to play calmly and level up the battle pass without the stress of cheaters, tryhards, etc. My ID is Drakender95, contact me and let's play together, thanks.

[surreal portal]

It would be nice if they would keep us updated on this matter.
They know that many people really want that.

It doesn't help them to simply downplay the matter and say, "We will forward it; we want to know the facts."
Because we don't want to wait until the next Battlefield game and then have the same thing happen again.

@light badger I sent you a request regarding PVE ^^

[light badger]

Okay, thanks, i Accept you

[tardy cosmos]

PvPvE is possible with scripted bots right?

[nimble moth]

You can have two teams of players and a team of bots, yes.

[uncut moth]

After recent discussions related to map locked vehicles, it would be nice add the possibilty to have a category on each slot (air, Land vehicles) so players can choose to create armored strikes with full atk vehicles (even big dogfights or full of tanks), or can be replaced with multiple transport vehicles (like 2 transport helis, or replace quads by bikes (next update)) to be able to have a more infantry focused. It can also just keep a balance style but avoiding some overpowered vehicles.

[sturdy hill]

Curious how many want Solo / Coop back in the game ?

[craggy dagger]

pretty alot

[tall gazelle]

As long as its self hosted, everyone wants this.
If people can level up a difficult gun or whatever, on their own instead of taking a server slot and making it password protected/an afk xp server etc. Its a step forward.

Even if you can only level things to 40, maximum in solo/co-op (to avoid mastery farming just like in bf2042)

[mellow chasm]

Unfortunately they have moved from 2042 and ignored what was good in it. Like Portal options, local hosted servers and 128 players.

[tall gazelle]

I know, just wishful thinking, and a compromise I think everyone could get behind, attachments are up to level 40, mastery is 50, make the maximum hardware level 40 in solo/coop. Or even a daily xp limit for career levels, and allow people to self host and this would remove 90% of the complaints about PVE whilst not causing the global quota issue

[gentle gull]

lets gooo

[tall gazelle]

Thats a bit of a dark joke but okay

[real torrent]

portal keeps being mentioned in these articles but its never nothing of good news

game needs more community

[gentle gull]

Its just early adoption still IMO

Systems are still being developed & at the end of it, its all free for us anyways! BUTT your right, it does need more community and discoverability. Puts it back on us creators to develop something captivating and stable so EA can properly feature it and get people excited for portal.

[shut skiff]

I feel like the bot XP farms would be a lot less apparent if the team actually realized that their progression to level up weapons to lvl 50, to get all the attachments your gun, is so ludicrously slow. In BF2042, I believe around 300 kills, you’d get every attachment for said weapon your using before you’re capped at 360 kills at T3 and that’s when you had to play PvP to progress, which I thought was perfectly manageable.

I feel like their solution to just cap it to 4 players to prevent bot XP farms just robs players of who bought the game for the PvE solo experience that they were looking forward to in BF2042, so essentially those people got scammed to high hell and this is their way of just slapping a band aid on it and thinking its totally fine and dandy.

[cerulean kelp]

I’ve never really played PvE, so I can’t really comment on it. Bots are just too easy for me.

[shut skiff]

And idk there is such a very anti-PvE sentiment in this community and honestly find it super weird cause I don’t think everyone wants to deal with playing other people and the whole try hardiness of it all, which I totally understand.

Either way, having proper PvE would definitely help the player count a bit, though honestly I feel it’s mostly because of the lack of proper decent maps to play in.

[shut skiff]

I don’t even think you can unlock every attachment by level 40, which makes the whole progression in this game feel like a problem tbh 😭

[shut skiff]

I mean I think it’s mostly because people do not want to deal with playing with other players, which I mean is totally valid considering how toxic some people get and get too tryhardy. I know you mentioned that working with actual players is the spirit of Battlefield and yeah I agree, but I personally think that it should be the choice of the player to play with bots or with actual players, especially when some people here were actually looking forward to something like BF2042’s solo PvE experience.

Honestly, I would just be fine if they did just a preset solo experience with modified XP that caps you at some point like in BF2042.

Though, considering how you don’t even unlock all attachments for gun even by level 40, I’m not even sure where they’d cap it at since I know some people want the feeling of progression by unlocking every attachment, if they wanted to prevent people from mastery farming.

I mean the developers almost certainly heard the feedback in regards to this… by pulling the maximum player limit to 4. I don’t really think see what players wanted for Portal and yeah I guess that’s their compromise for wanting to prevent XP farming, but why not just have a preset solo mode with modified XP by this point like in BF2042? 🙃

[tall gazelle]

Sorry i meant mastery level 40, not player level haha.
So each weapon/vehicle limited to mastery level 40 in solo/coop with the climb to 50 only available in full xp online lobbies

[cerulean kelp]

I do think the developers are hearing a lot of the feedback and are working on many things.

EA is a large company. You have DICE and Ripple Effect working on the game — they all have their own ideas, and then we as players have ideas as well. In the end, everything has to be reviewed and considered.

I believe a lot more will still come.

But I also think it will take time. Development simply takes time.

[shut skiff]

aaaaahhh i see

[uncut moth]

If they find vehicles too weak, you can tweak it to have more health. You can also restrict RPG and weapons by class to optimize a bit. You can find a pretty configuration for balanced HxC, even if, as I mentionned earlier, it lacks some options in portal.

[west vale]

Where is the LittleBird or Scout heli in the godot editor???

[mellow chasm]

It would be nice to have Winter and Gas toggles in Verified Experiences in Portal. We missed Winter Empire in Portal because it was added only to 1 official time mode. Same with the gas.

[cerulean kelp]

I know.

[mellow chasm]

Upcoming update.

[cerulean kelp]

We occasionally use class-restricted settings on our event server. The downside is that you have to reselect your weapons every round.

However, proper weapon balancing can only really be done individually in Portal. For example, you can’t remove weapon attachments at all.

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, we Hardcore mode players often miss these events because they’re not available in Hardcore modes.

Personally, I don’t need to host them, but I would definitely play these events if they were available in Hardcore. I usually check them out, realize that normal mode just isn’t for me, and then go back to playing on our server.

That said, I also understand that for such short limited-time events, it might simply be too much effort to create separate Hardcore versions.

[mellow chasm]

Just a toggle would be nice. Custom experiences get that, we don't.

[cerulean kelp]

I believe they’re currently working on Verified Portal Experiences, and there’s another update coming in April. Let’s see what happens.

As for Winter mode, it’s not possible in Verified mode right now because the maps themselves need to be modified and heat sources have to be placed on them. So simply having a Winter on/off toggle in Portal Verified wouldn’t work.

However, it would be cool if the maps themselves were configured with a Winter setup by default. If the configuration were map-based instead of server-based, then it could potentially work in Portal Verified.

[mellow chasm]

Remember in 2042 there was a toggle if you wanted Night version of the maps? Would be nice to have those toggles in Verified in BF6 as well. Like winter, gas and night modes in future versions. Could be after time limited events finish.

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, I remember that.

I’ll be honest with you — I think there’s still a lot more coming to Portal.

I believe the game had to be released by a certain deadline, but Portal itself wasn’t fully finished at that point. Now Ripple Effect is still working hard on Portal, and I think by the end of this year we’ll get quite a few more additions and improvements.

[cerulean kelp]

I know one thing for Battlefield 7, if it ever comes — DICE and Ripple Effect should really sit down together and think about this:

What is Portal for the community? What does the community actually want?

For the community, Portal is a place to host individual servers — to create experiences and play them with others.
Many communities run clan servers with their own rules.
At its core, it’s about teamplay.

Most important feature: Team switching.

There are many players who prefer Hardcore mode.
For them, the most important setting is weapon damage — to achieve the best possible balance.

Admin inheritance is important as well —
having proper control and rule enforcement, often similar to EA’s standard rules.

Players care about earning XP, whether they’re playing Gun Master or Conquest.
So ideally: Full XP everywhere.

A spectator mode is important too, especially for wars and proper rule control.

Clan tags matter.

For most people, freedom in server settings is extremely important 🚨

Bots and Portal don’t really belong together in the long run.
PvE should be a separate Battlefield mode where only DICE and Ripple Effect can configure bots. That would prevent XP farming from the start.

In Portal, bots should only be there to fill servers until enough real players join.

I’ve already seen recreations of Counter-Strike maps, even with settings that include a buy menu.

Now imagine if that would also grant XP.

Counter-Strike style gameplay with aiming, team switching, and everything else.

Portal has massive potential. With the right level of freedom for players, it could bring in so many people from other games. If word got around about what’s possible, it could absolutely explode.

I think one day the developers are going to give me a dog tag that says “professional pain in the ass” 🤣🤣😜

Maybe something like open microphones, similar to GTA 5 RP, would be really funny.

Just imagine being able to tell the enemy you’re hunting, “I’m going to find you.”
Or after you’ve killed someone, saying, “Now I finally got you.”
And he replies, “No please, don’t finish me!” 🤣

[uncut moth]

Only if it's not setup with the correct weapons. So basically you can update 1 stuff on each class to get quickly in the battle each round

But tbh i'd love to have 1
2 more layouts reserved for closed weapons so you only see them and can setup them before the round starts though

[cerulean kelp]

We mainly play just one weapon. It’s very rarely changed, but it’s still annoying when you play class-restricted modes and have to select your weapon again every round because it doesn’t get saved there.

You can even set everything up in the main menu the way you want, but once you join the game, it still doesn’t save.

[jade hedge]

Oh no not again 😢

Hydro electric dam is featured this week and just like when it got featured on FNB it still doesn't have full xp....

[gentle gull]

Im sure they will fix that if its planned for the week

hyped to see the re-feature of polished projects! The map deserves the love!

[jade hedge]

Well I think it only took them about an hour lol. They pushed the button 🔥

Thank you to whichever dev got it sorted out so quickly! You guys rock!

[cerulean kelp]

Hydro Electric Dam is already a lot of fun, but it could definitely be Hardcore mode 😜.

[gentle gull]

could be feedback for the dev - once the mode is done featuring it'll hold its Full XP( unless it get abused ) so maybe they could tweak it for what the community believes would enhance it!

[cerulean kelp]

I think the most effective way to prevent abuse would be for DICE to create an official PvE experience themselves and remove bots from Portal entirely. Without bots, there would be no XP abuse.

[tardy cosmos]

oooh! Unable to create Experience. gRPC message exceeds maximum size 4194304: 5164281 😢

[warped heath]

Now, this is a gripe I have with you - you have a lot of passion for game and spill a lot of wisdom - but then you ruin it by saying with authorative tone that portal and bots don't fit together. It needlessly fractures the community that want to play their way in this mode. Bots are in fact crucial for many potential modes such as zombie survival or swat breach. Saying that bots don't belong in Portal is just a gatekeeping stemming from an unfounded believe that bf6 = pvp.

Why do you even care about XP farming? That's EA's problem, not yours. DiCE neutering the mode to address this issue was the reason Portal got almost useless in the first place. Just put the bloody xp/minute cap on bot kills and call it day, no need to limit creativity and depend on mercy of our mighty overlords to bless us with vetted experiences.

[tardy cosmos]

Hydro Electric Dam 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 full XP too.. 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 🙌🏿

[balmy moon]

Ignore what Tiggy Skibbles said. IF BATTLEFIELD TRULY WANTED CREATIVITY. They wouldn’t limit you with portal, they would have MOD SUPPORT like Arma Reforger does.

[balmy moon]

L take btw. I can tell you’re an XP farmer and that’s the only justifiable reason for portal, or else you’d be pushing for mode support and portal to go away entirely an actual server browser with rent a server to be brought back WITH modded servers instead of the slop of what portal is that limits creativity to only what DICE allows you to do

[warped heath]

I do support rented servers. Your baseless accusations hold no merit in this discussion.

[balmy moon]

Understood, good day kind sir.

[cerulean kelp]

First of all, thank you.

Okay, thanks for your criticism. I honestly didn’t think about modes like Zombie Survival — sorry about that. I don’t want to exclude any group of players.

I was just trying to find a way so that PvE players could have Conquest and Rush, while others could still enjoy individual Portal experiences with Full XP.

So far, the only solution I personally see is that DICE could add a separate PvE button or official PvE section. That way, players who want to play purely PvE could do so safely, without XP farming being an issue — and Portal could be adjusted accordingly.

I simply want to start a discussion about it.
Every idea 💡, every suggestion, and more open conversation can help.

It could show the developers how important all of this is to us.

I care about XP farming because it’s the main reason we can’t have a one-player start. And I also believe the developers care about it a lot, since preventing XP farming is clearly one of their priorities.

That’s why I’m trying to think of solutions that include preventing XP farming — because those are more likely to be accepted by the developers.

I’m looking for a way for Portal to have individual experiences with Full XP.

My hope is that a good idea might reach the developers and potentially be adopted.

[warped heath]

In fact, I believe that servers being free is the reason for the overcrowded slopfest we call portal server browser right now. However, if you pay for the service, you should be free to host unrestricted pvp, pve and pvpve gamemodes.

[cerulean kelp]

Rented servers and a classic server browser are also my favorite. But after four titles without that system, I honestly don’t know if it will ever come back.

Does anyone actually know why they moved away from rented servers to Portal in the first place?

[tardy cosmos]

well..... I'm enjoying it. Impressed with a lot of the maps that's been created. The learning experience has been great and the fact you can even script is awesome. Very grateful. I have a new found respect for developers and I get quite defensive when people start moaning. TheBurntPeanut Rant was spot on. let them cook!!

[summer notch]

What experiences have you been enjoying the most?

[west vale]

Unlock all in Portal and XP is just cosmetics.

[cerulean kelp]

And then there would be no more challenges. That sounds pretty boring. 🎮

Then Portal would be completely uninteresting. 🎮

[shut current]

Hosting a breakthrough server if anyone is interested there is a conquest aswell... shout out to all the portal makers and users 🙌

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/s/t8ty8MGdJ6

[west vale]

Maybe for you. I love it. I can play for the immersion of the game itself instead of constantly playing for a challenge that EA throws out for a token cracker reward. By the time one completes all the challenges a new game comes out and goodbye. I get enough fun from making a new experience in Portal. I love moving capture points around or using different objects. Keeping portal as an afterthought and not letting it keep up with the core game is self-destruction for the community. I would love the progression to be added to bots themselves and full XP in portal not for unlocks but in game action medals which are nice feedback to the player but are not necessary for weapon attachments. I want to play for the sounds of weapons, explosions, ragdoll physics, graphical immersion overload. I haven't been to the firing range once since game release. I learn with bots. I can make them harder or easier. I can play my way which is what I was sold at launch. Adding more features like underwater immersion for making an approach to a bot on a pier at night is very interesting to me but at present unavailable in portal. I like the new snow maps and weather effects that ViperAndyStudios has recently showcased in a video. PvP is for games like Finals, COD, or Fortnite. I represent a large but less vocal PVE player base that wants a game with depth of ARMA reforger but with the polish, destruction, sounds and optimization of EA. ARMA has all unlocked at the start and no progression system, however, the creative environment of that game is so deep that the learning curve is long and steep. My point is I played 1000 plus hours on ARMA with bots and zero hours on BF4,1, and 5. I played a bunch on 2042 while unlocking everything as well.

[cerulean kelp]

I love having challenges.
And I love playing with my team against other players.

PvE is the most boring thing for me. I also don’t play single-player games.

Battlefield is a war game and primarily a PvP game — it has always been that way. It would be hard to imagine Battlefield being mainly PvE; that would mean missing out on a lot of what makes it fun.
If I were forced to play only PvE, I would probably stop playing the game because it would become boring for me.

I like playing with my friends, or more precisely with my community, which feels like a family to me. For all of us, PvE would be hard to imagine as the main way to play.
We love Battlefield, and many of us have been playing since Battlefield 1942. Back then we even had LAN parties.

PvP is much more than just jumping into the game and shooting around.
PvP means teamplay.
PvP means laughing together, falling together, winning and losing together.

I couldn’t imagine a game without PvP.

PvE is simply not for me personally.
But of course everyone has their own taste.

What I’m wondering though is this:
If everything in Portal was already unlocked and there were no more challenges, why would you even need full XP?

XP is usually only needed for progression and challenges.

I’m glad that PvE is fun for some players.
But for me it’s not, and for my friends and many communities I know, PvE has never been a major part of Battlefield.

And Battlefield can’t really be compared to Call of Duty.

Call of Duty is about small battles and fast matches.
Battlefield is about epic battles, long rounds, and real teamplay.

[jade hedge]

"If everything in portal was already unlocked and there were no more challenges, why would you even need full xp" Very simple answer to that. Many people like to watch numbers go up. It's a simple but effective dopamine for the brain.

This is essentially why the level cap is like 2000 or something and why weapon and vehicle masterys keep going past 50.

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, that’s true — many people like the feeling of seeing numbers go up. But at the same time, many players still want additional challenges.

I personally keep playing even after completing my assignments. Sometimes I play specifically to complete challenges, and other times I just play for fun. But I’m always happy when there are objectives or tasks to work on.

If those challenges disappeared completely, many players would feel like something important is missing.

Whenever something new is added to the game, the feeling of unlocking it after completing the challenge is really great. It’s a very satisfying reward when you finally manage to unlock something.

[cerulean kelp]

But another question: isn’t Portal already set up so that you receive partial XP as a reward?
The only thing that would really change is that all weapons would already be unlocked.

[jade hedge]

Well as I said. Mastery for weapons and vehicles goes beyond 50. So as with the player level people still like to see the numbers go up for the guns and vehicles they use too even beyond 50

[cerulean kelp]

That is true.

And isn’t that exactly the problem with individual Portal servers right now?
That people prefer to play on official servers because in individual Portal servers they can’t unlock anything.

[jade hedge]

Yep

[cerulean kelp]

It would also be interesting to hear from the developers why individual Portal servers don’t have Full XP.

The XP farming issue was only my assumption.

And if someone here comes up with a good suggestion, I wonder if there is even a possibility that individual Portal servers could get Full XP in the future.

[mellow chasm]

Looks like someone has found the way how to do 1 player start with bots, full xp. Hopefully will be patched soon.

[tardy cosmos]

😂 everything. Its probably why I'm only at rank 160 🤣 with 1774 hours in the game, mostly portal. I started setting up capture points in liberation peak and then the scripting side. Understanding what you can and can't do, discovering, understanding functions, which was a challenge and a lot was trial and error. Troubleshooting issues like "why are the scripted bots clustering on D and F", why bots were just randomly dying shortly after spawn 🤣. The tools to use when scripting and I'm now getting into Godot a bit more, working with the blank canvas portal sand.. Lots to do, lots to discovery but what a journey its been. This is just a tiny slice of what developers do, hence new found respect. 🫡

[warped heath]

"Our players are having fun, we are looking into it"

[west vale]

XP except for unlocking stuff is a nothing burger to me. Mastery XP is another story. You do not get it in Portal. If all was moderate in Portal, then there would be no fuss from me. Rank and in game action medal and or ribbons are cool feedback loops that do not unlock stuff but give a good feeling to the player. I use to love the Battlefield statistics mod in BF2. Rank, medals, were all given in as if it were PvP multiplayer. The mod that comes to mind is the https://www.moddb.com/mods/allied-intent-xtended. The bots had their rank and statistics as well that you could keep on a local database. It was the single coolest thing in BF2. I wish that could be implemented in BF6. Weapon unlocks and challenge grind to get XP was not the goal. Fun was the goal. A complete experience in BF2 that pushed the engine as far as it could go.

[west vale]

Hi Hope, I want to give a shout out to the Bot coders and devs. I really appreciate the addition of bots to the game. I know it is not popular with PVP players. If you would pass on a suggestion to the bot coders, I would be grateful. I play bots exclusively and I see an action that would make them more lifelike. In game i am shooting at a bot running to a flag maybe 200 meters in game. The bot will ignore me unless one of my rounds hits him. The bot will then stop and turn to me to fire back. Usually this pause in his sprint gives me time to follow up a shot and down him. I believe a real player would, if able, run and dive behind the nearest cover. Could the coders add to the bot code at this time or in a future update make the bots if health drops below 90% from a shot at distances over 40meters etc., immediately dive for cover, toss a smoke, before returning fire. At close distances I believe this would be impossible since it is more the quick and the dead at this range depending on bullet damage settings. I'm talking longer engagements where finding cover is more to the advantage of avoiding being downed by a follow up shot. This would make the bots harder but more realistic in my opinion. Bots do not cheat. Thank you.

[west vale]

Man, you should have it all unlocked by now. I know andy6170 who has given so much to the Portal community, and without him I wouldn't have a playable experience in BF6 was only recently at level 60 something. He laughed when he said it but he loves creating things and helping the community. Why should he and others who love portal be excluded from enjoying all the vehicles and attachments the game has to offer because of a Mastery XP wall?

But I’m glad you enjoy it.

Still, I would really prefer individual Portal servers to have full XP.

[dull basin]

Does anyone know a proper EU conquest/escalation server? I don't know any active community besides FaithWalkers but they're mostly on US when I play

[tardy cosmos]

I here you but we had a mention in the community update with regards to the little bird, stability with advice about 64 players, vehicle usage, rubber banding etc, its all coming we just have to be patient. Developers just cooked up an awesome map with little bird as promised. It needs to be monitored and tweaked, plus they are cooking up a map for this month. Not to mention any bugs found etc. Did you notice the new download module button. They are cooking 😉

[deft kiln]

Fwbc is us based idd they have a few servers on eu though, we have no community like this based on eu I think, or at least I didn't find something on my own
Escalation is not available in portal which is very unfortunate, I love the growing intensity of this mode

[dull basin]

I didn't know that and it's a shame

[cerulean kelp]

What kind of community are you looking for? Are you talking about a Hardcore player community in the EU?”

[deft kiln]

Portal in verified modes (full xp) provides it only for BR, breakthrough, conquest, gauntlet & rush, not even TDM 🙁 it would be a very cool addition honnestly to have TDM & escalation at least

[cerulean kelp]

“Escalation – let’s wait and see. More modes will probably be added to individual Portal servers over time. I’m hoping for that as well. Gauntlet was added later too, so that’s a good sign that more modes will follow with time.”

I’m really hoping for Escalation and King of the Hill. So we can play them in Hardcore as well. That would be mega nice.”

A conquest community basically, that has a conquest rotation (maybe not all maps) and basically have active servers up, doesn't have to be hardcore, I actually don't like friendly fire which is why I am playing semi hc

At the bottom on godot there should be a library

• search spawner and grab the vehicle spawner
• place down in map ( confirm its checked on for auto-spawn ) ( can give it an ID if you want but leaving it on 0 is okay too )
• I wouldn't drop respawn time below 5sec imo ( can cause rapid repawn on the debris chaining into a server crash lol )

When you load in , you should see the vehicle

OMG Thanks a lot you helped me so much

[tardy cosmos]

It took a while to learn but it is possible.. locally host for testing your maps. "znczy" example. This is the script I've been working on https://github.com/muwookie/BillDukes. ConquestV10_portal.ts is the bundled script. SpawnRecycle.ts to spawn scripted bots, 1 human, 1 static bot, 31 scripted bots per team. You can't XP farm with it anyway because its only moderate XP (career XP) No challenges, weapons unlocks just for testing. Always happy to share what I've found and from other creators like Andy etc

Yeah either I use the AI to drive me around, or somehow figure out how to make the tank move via script. Unfortunately, the driver seat does have the cooler guns

This is for a tech demo so that is the goal at least

[tall coyote]

You sure? I thought I was playing real people??

I 100% was

[tardy cosmos]

sure about what? You were looking for a single player game right?

[tall coyote]

No multiple

[tardy cosmos]

Oh no multiplayer, Campaign?

[tardy cosmos]

May I ask nicely if DICE would edit the Template: MP_Abbasid (has Cairo theatre, working FX) — requesting a blank/neutral mini map background that doesn't show the ghost city, or a rendered overhead of your custom layout? Or rendered mini map, map and working Cairo theatre for working FX in portal sand?

Battlefield 6: Personalized Aim Setup Questionnaire Example

1. Which describes your thumbstick/mouse movement? (A) I prefer large, sweeping movements (Lower Sensitivity). (B) I prefer small, twitchy movements (Higher Sensitivity). 2. How often do you "overshoot" your target when turning? (A) Often, I move past them (Lower your Sensitivity/Increase Deadzone). (B) Rarely, I struggle to reach them (Increase your Sensitivity). 3. When aiming down sights (ADS), do you want more control or more speed? (A) Precision control for long range (Lower ADS Multiplier). (B) Snap-to-target speed for close quarters (Higher ADS Multiplier).4. Does your character/camera drift slightly even when you aren't touching the stick? (A) Yes (Increase Inner Deadzone). (B) No (Keep Deadzone at Minimum). 5. How "heavy" should the aiming feel? (A) Linear and raw (Disable Aim Acceleration). (B) Steady and smoothed out (Enable Aim Smoothing/Acceleration).  The Result based on these answers may help automate  "Standard," "Precise," or "Reactionary" player profile settings.

Uniforms and Skins

To preserve the game’s atmosphere, add clear aesthetic divide between factions: NATO should feature authentic, real-world military gear (e.g., modern crye precision, realistic camouflages, and tactical rigs) to appeal to fans of realism. In contrast, more stylized or 'vibrant' skins, similar to the “COD” aesthetic, should be reserved for the PAX faction. This allows for creative expression without breaking the immersion of players who prefer a grounded military experience. This 'factions-based' visual identity would satisfy both collectors and purists while maintaining Battlefield’s signature grit."

Knocked Out Skin Unlock Recon

After joining repeat.gg BF6 tournament, the recon skin “knocked out” unlocked through tournament play did not unlock.  Allow unlocking this skin after competing in tournament at repeat.gg.

RedSec Solo Feedback

1. Allow players to select additional gadgets from other class in custom caches e.g., RPGs. 2. Add more target/counter missions to increase movement. 3. Investigate fuel requirement for vehicles (requires depot route planning) although survivability may be an issue from 5 x RPG load out, artillery strike, and drone combo. 5. Investigate vehicle balance e.g., 4 - 5x RPGs in load out from ammo crate, 3 x RPG destroys vehicle. 2 x RPG disables tank but with 50 percent slower movement. 2 x RPG from rear of tank destroys It. 6. Add new feature mission similar to the VL7 mission for new content

[cerulean kelp]

Battle Royale Solo is not the right place for vehicles like tanks or Little Birds

[lean parcel]

Work together to take them out. This isn’t cod

[cerulean kelp]

In Battle Royale Solo you fight alone, so because of that there are simply too many armor plates. There are so many that you could almost remove the plate system entirely. Vehicles should only be used for transportation.

Maybe the mode should be called “Battle Royale: Lone Wolf.”

Overall I think the mode is very well done and it’s fun. But having a single player fight 1 vs 1 against a tank is not really ideal, though I can live with it.

[cerulean kelp]

You mean Call of Duty? I haven’t played it for about 10 years. That’s why I always wonder why people say “this isn’t CoD.” I’m not comparing Battlefield to CoD—I haven’t played CoD in a decade.

[mild sentinel]

Portal continue to be dead and it’s still dumb you need 4 players required to start a matchup, how pathetic and their stupid decisions

[cerulean kelp]

Well, if people hadn’t abused XP farming, we probably wouldn’t have this problem. That’s not really the developers’ fault.

[true quest]

Actually it is. A simple ban on the title of the server would fix the majority of the problem.

[mellow chasm]

Definitely not dead.

Filters > Leave name empty, Free slots Any. After that sort by player count and hit refresh.

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, the important thing is to set Free Slots to “Any.”
Then you’ll already see a few servers like TheBadBoys, KWEA, etc. etc.

[stuck flicker]

They should increase the weapons leveling up

[cerulean kelp]

That’s already really fast.

[deft kiln]

Hmmm no, not if you want to get all weaps and didnt abuse bots at start

[stuck flicker]

i need level up weapon can someone help me
in redsec

[cerulean kelp]

Go to a Hardcore server and play some Conquest or Rush — you can level up pretty well there. 🎮

[cerulean kelp]

Remember, the game is also supposed to last a few years until a new one comes out. 🎮

[tall gazelle]

Whilst this is true for say, mastery, it shouldn't take "years" to unlock suppressors/thermals on every weapon

[stuck flicker]

F2p

I know a way and I need one more player

We just need to kill each other

It won't be bot abuse at all

[deft kiln]

The issue is that some weapons need high tier attachments to be at least decent, meaning you will either deny playing them until you miss only them or ignore them completely, unless you're ready to suffer for hours on purpose to level them first

[tall gazelle]

Not to mention imagine people pick up the game a few years after its out, should they even bother? Haha

[cerulean kelp]

Okay, then you’ll have to buy it.” 🎮

[stuck flicker]

Waiting for next sale

[jade hedge]

Didn't gauntlet get a boost in weapon levelling on top of the already default X2 faster than multiplayer?

[stuck flicker]

did they do that

[jade hedge]

Before one of the recent updates each kill was already worth double of what it is in regular multiplayer and they increased it even more so surely can't be that bad to level weapons in gauntlet?

[shut current]

Can you play hydro electric dam as a F2P player?

[stuck flicker]

Yes

[jade hedge]

Nice!

[stuck flicker]

I was grinding bp in that mode

[jade hedge]

It's a fun map!

[stuck flicker]

If u want to grind more than play with a guy just kill each other for 15 minutes

[jade hedge]

I like playing recon on it and i never usually play recon

[stuck flicker]

Yea

[cobalt tinsel]

probably gonna get patch notes for the Mar 17 update soon

[jade hedge]

Probably Thursday or Friday

[warped heath]

I bet nothing of value will be introduced to portal

[real torrent]

yup

[real torrent]

still cant favorite servers on this fake server browser btw

[warped heath]

Its as barebones as upon launch, literally no effort put in this

And nothing is gonna change with recent layoffs comms, just assume that this is a final version of portal

I went back to bf2042 portal long time ago. Guns feel worse than in bf6, but I do have my share of fun with custom logic I continuosly tweak for my enjoyment. Sometimes solo, sometimes with squad. This is what Portal should be.

[cerulean kelp]

Wait a moment. In the update information it says that a Portal update for Season 2 is coming on April 14.”

[tall gazelle]

Yeah portal update isn't until april, I wouldn't expect any big updates to it until then

[cerulean kelp]

Let’s wait and see. The developers might surprise us.” 🙂

its not published, can only bring you in via party, but lemme know. It will be published tommorow though, with a handful of maps

[gentle gull]

ihh ima check this RN - want me to test anything specific?

[tardy cosmos]

You'll see the issues, there's a lot of assets. have a gander and tell me what you think.

I'm excited for the next portal update, one of the issues they mentioned in the community notes, what's happening with the portal sand map, minimap/map if possible. Did you know there are 1500 unrestricted assets, thats not map specific?

[empty cosmos]

Could someone share either:

• a minimal working MP_Granite_MilitaryRnD_Portal.spatial.json with one placed prop
• or the exported spatial snippet for a single object placed in Godot 😭

[lost wave]

it is what it is. I wish they go back after season ends and look at data about LTM.

ooh patch notes

AI Behaviour and Vehicle Usage Enhancements: Expanded AI vehicle usage to bikes and scout helicopters, improved pathfinding on Contaminated and Eastwood, refined combat priorities, and improved helicopter flare usage and anti-air handling. <<< awww lets go, they've been cooking 🙌🏿

[icy spade]

Glad to see they improved the AI! I just can’t test it because I STILL CAN’T PLAY SOLO WITH BOTS

[tardy cosmos]

I am with scripted bots hosting locally and I'm sure I spotted something about the 4 player start issue being addressed. Do you need some help?

[icy spade]

Shoot me a dm I’m intrigued

As much as I love 2042 portal I’m lowkey starting to get sick of the maps even the ones in portal lol

I need something new lol

[tardy cosmos]

zshpa << something I've been working on and znczy. Just waiting for them to be published. You should be able to search for them in the browser. Host them locally, the first match will end after 10 seconds because when you host locally, the first match only release 37 scripted bots but in the second match 1 player, 1 static bot and 31 scripted bots. 32v32 great for testing your custom maps.

[icy spade]

Thank you so much! I’ll check them out

I’ll try it when I get home from work

Screenshot it and everything

So I just need to start a second match to get it actually working?

[rugged turret]

Has anyone played the Naval-ish map with missions and such? Start on aircraft carrier

Idk if there are populated servers

[tardy cosmos]

yes, my script does this automatically when the bot count is 37 and not 64, ends the game and start the next match. Or you just play the match with 37, second match 32v32. This works with static bots too, although you see no bots at all in the first match with static bots. Capture all your objectives, wait for the tickets to run out and in the second match 32v32 static bots.

[icy spade]

Nice nice I’ll try it I can’t believe we have to do this to do solo play this is honestly crazy

[tardy cosmos]

Check out LYDONS WAKE BY LT DALE

[rugged turret]

Yeah I'm trying to now

[tardy cosmos]

Totally understandable but you'll be able to test your maps locally hosted with full population. 0 XP mind you, not for XP farming.

[rugged turret]

Looks kinda cool

[icy spade]

Oh I’m fine with no XP I just wanna chill out and play

[tardy cosmos]

LT DALE did really good work on that one. Trying to find the DownTown map with Aircraft carriers.

[final vortex]

Any experiences with the little bird for practice yet?

Resolved an issue where the AH-6M ‘Little Bird’ was missing from the Spatial Editor. https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/news/battlefield-6-game-update-1-2-2-0

17th

[final vortex]

Oh, I just saw the updates on the steam page. Missed the part about it being the 17th. Thanks.

[gentle gull]

Yoooo thank you soo much ❤️

Wanted to ask here - is there a creator dev channel on this discord? like outside of this chat? someone mention that they got an invite to a priv channel here

also @tardy cosmos I jumped on your exp. and dude you got some nice AI logic rolling there! UI looks clean as well! Couldnt explore too much due to time but from whagt I saw - it looks like a blast!

def can tell you been around the block

[tardy cosmos]

thanks, still WIP and fixed a few issues today. New update on the 17th should help 😉

[gentle gull]

Im excited tbh though I hope I can just patch the new spawner in lol

I haven't migrated to new SDK and I wasn't planning on it until wake is nearly done BUTTTT that may change if spawner cant be patch in.

[tardy cosmos]

What i do is name the SDK folders, PortalSDK1, 2, 3 etc and copy the mod and scripts over, anything else you need. Then you still have a backup if the new SDK has issues. I'm dropping those new spawner as soon as 😂 They updated AI Behavior 🙌🏿

[gentle gull]

yeah but if you made maps on the older SDK's, doesn't the ID's get all jumbled when you migrate to the newest V of sdk

[tardy cosmos]

Godot is pretty good at telling you if there are any issues. I made the mistake once of copying over on top of an SDK, thinking it would just replace the files with new but godot complained straight away. I had some good advice with regards to maps in the level folder, Keep the original SDK tscn intact and duplicate it with a different name, I.e MP_Portal_sand.tscn duplicate and call it MP_Portal_sand_custom.tscn, only edit custom so you've always have the original template. So when you move to the new SDK, copy your customs maps into the level folder in godot. If changes are made to the baked in stuff in the map, you can copy and past objects between maps. For example, they fixed the minimap/map or updated the navmesh, inspector setting, again duplicate the new map in the new SDK, call it custom2, open up custom and copy and paste into custom2. The way you get the new changes. You're ID's will be intact but the only thing I noticed is, you would lose your mappings for forward spawners in the inspector. which is minimal. Keep an eye on the output tab, you may get errors stating something can not be null but once you save and reload the project, Godot magically sorts those out, also Godot tells you what its going to do to resolve an issue.

[gentle gull]

ohhhh thats solid, I appreciate that ! ill need to explore this when I cross that road! Happy and I are both on edge of seat, nipping at the nails for the spawners.. just like the rest of the community devs lol

[tardy cosmos]

Your welcome.

[tardy cosmos]

Question for the community. so we know PVPVE is possible with Casual Breakthrough which is PVPVE and full XP. I've seen a lot of post about other Casual modes. How as portal creater can we get to stat stage. Increase scripted bot health to 200%? Match vehicle damage, the exact same rules as each game mode?, Make it into a hardcore mode . Is this even possible??

maybe we can fill the Casual gap with othe game modes.

[uncut moth]

Yes it is possible but you need at least 4 people to start it, that's why it's kinda hard to have some. I have several experiences in "tactical" more than "hardcore" though, but it definitively lacks some options to have a good balance. I have to test but you should be able to host squad vs bots also if you setup a password on your server

[tall gazelle]

The main issue is that casual players will normally be solo, and with the 4 player requirement it comes down to the matchmaking issue. Casual players won't be searching for a server, theyll be joining from the menu

[tardy cosmos]

Well I think they have been cooking, because I have 1 human, 1 static bot (portal settings) and 31 scripted bots per team (scripted), bot's now join my squad and are replaced, I always have a squad of 4. This never happened before. I think my dilemma is, the portal settings with scripted bots. If I say 1 human player, the rest is filled with scripted bots, If i say 64 human players no bots at all, so its how to strike that balance between human players and scripted bots with portal settings for PVPVE. Right now 1 human is set, what happens when 8 or 10 human players join? The script does the 1 to 1 replacement of human to bots but I suppose I would need to test it, to see what would happen.

Kind of looking for a list of criteria for PVPVE Full XP, Give casual players something else to play other than breakthrough.

[eager granite]

looking for a duos or squad. stumah PS5

[tall gazelle]

I get what you mean, I guess my reply was more geared towards how to make it work as a casual mode in portal once its finished if that makes sense? A lot of casual players won't be looking for portal experiences to play casual modes i think, some might but not nearly as many

[tall gazelle]

#lfg-crossplay
#lfg-playstation

[tardy cosmos]

True but i was just thinking about catering for those casual player that do. All they have at the moment is casual breakthrough and I've seen lot of message here for solo's. Think of it like this, PVPVE into PVP if enough human players join.

This way i can join some of these experiences like Lydons wake and have a casual game of PVE, more players join PVPVE and if enough human players join PVP. I think this is how casual breakthrough works., or could work.

[tall gazelle]

Thats true I hadnt considered that they would be the best way to test the mode and alter it as needed, too

Casual breakthrough works by having a maximum of 8 players on each team I believe. Maybe even a max of 4 on each team, I can't remember specifically. So it would not be true as a casual gamemode if the bots got replaced

[tardy cosmos]

true, new game mode, not so casual conquest eventually 🤣

[tall gazelle]

I believe you're just describing conquest with bot backfill enabled then 😅
Which already exists!

[tardy cosmos]

True but when I've test backfill, I only get 12 bots , first and second match. I understand why, preventing XP farming. I don't want anything to do with that, casual or PVP. Its how we get player playing the experiences with just moderate XP and unless is featured its tumbleweed. I showed a friend a map I thought was awesome, tumbleweed and left after flying aeound exploring the map.

[tall gazelle]

Yeah I get you inconquest 12 bots does feel empty

[toxic elk]

Is there any way to make different boundaries for air vehicles and ground vehicles/infantry ?

[cerulean kelp]

Is Hangar available in Conquest starting Tuesday?

[mellow chasm]

Yeah, I haven't played it yet. Maybe someone knows if it was available on Conquest, rush or BT.

[cerulean kelp]

I only know about the smaller modes. It was also specifically mentioned that the night mode runs on the smaller modes like Conquest. So now I’m a bit unsure.

[rugged turret]

Where was that mentioned?

[dire maple]

If anyone cannot resist the urge of driving a golf ball when playing Eastwood (because playing golf in Battlefield 6 makes perfect sense of course), there's now an experience for it. BattleGOLF.

[tardy cosmos]

That's an interesting question. I know you have the Combat/HQ polygons areas, and considering breakthrough, I would say yes for infantry. I'm guessing its possible with scripting.

Update News

[jade hedge]

Patch notes

"Nightfall brings in a new playlist where squads can compete in a mix of Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, and Domination matches on Hagental Base. All matches will take place with Nightfall’s Darkness modifier active where it cuts most of the Hagental Base’s lights out; your survival during Nightfall depends on your ability to see through the dark, through Night Vision Goggles and using the environment to your benefit."

[rugged turret]

thanks for the reply and quote, but I don't see anything about conquest, I was curious if it would be available for all maps /bigger modes

[lofty cradle]

Same here. if it's not available for Conqust , Escalation or breakthrough.. it's a no go for me.

[cerulean kelp]

It would be important to know if the map will be available for Conquest. They only mentioned that the night mode won’t be in Conquest. So the question now is: does that also mean the map itself won’t be available in Conquest?

[jade hedge]

I saw someone on reddit say something about it but it's related to labs so probably not allowed to mention it here

[tall gazelle]

I believe it is in a similar vein to the way maps are currently, the SDM TDM and Dom maps will just be a on a smaller version of the full map, which is in conquest etc

[cerulean kelp]

“Well, so far not all maps are available in every mode.”

[tall gazelle]

Normally I'd agree to be sceptical but after what happened with everyone complaining the maps weren't big enough, they wouldn't just be shooting themselves in the foot by releasing a TDM/SDM/Dom sized map only, they'd be blowing both their legs off by the kneecaps.
It will be a full sized map, and given the road map has operations listed for april, it'll likely be the second part to contaminated.
Not to mention you can just Google "hagental base map bf6" and see the size/layout

[gusty moth]

Why has the little bird still not been added to the portal SDK? This is ridiculous.

[tall gazelle]

Its in the patch notes that its being added tomorrow, they have been out for a couple days now

[cerulean kelp]

So the new map is available in Conquest! 👍

[gentle gull]

I have some feedback about the portal creation process / new script deployment that would greatly help other creators.

Am I to drop them in the #1461436762881654784 chat?

[soft heart]

Added Circuit Racing to my custom map. The Flyer60 is the Race Vehicle with Jumps and a Track going all the way around.

portal 3 when?

[shut current]

Made a post the other day if any of you fine folks care too give it a look over and a like for traction. Cheers too all

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/s/vzqosFQInP

[tardy cosmos]

So just downloaded the update, goes live and 12pm and portal SDK ready to download?

[soft heart]

Haven't downloaded yet, will after work today. But I'm curious if the dirt bikes will be in the SDK update, patch notes stated "resolved an issue where little bird was missing from spatial editor" if thats the case, then I take that to mean it was supposed to be in there at S2 launch. Furthermore, if thats true...the dirt bikes should be in there today. Lemme know if you see those .tscn files lol

[mellow chasm]

New map is not available in Verified Experiences yet. Should be live at this moment.

[mellow chasm]

Nvm, it's available now.

[tardy cosmos]

click click download.

[tardy cosmos]

Its not that now, i'll download again later.

[barren junco]

ok, all game modes are missing and now I can't host a server either...ugh

gg DICE you've proven once again you have zero idea how a community grows

minimun player count on my own server? why to protect against precious xp nobody cares about anymore? I just want to play on my own gd serv er

[barren junco]

yep, been trying to grown a bf community like bf4 ever since, portal blows, wont fire up half the time, minimum player counts so you can't get it populated. been tring since 2042 portal, this BLOWS dice fix it

[cerulean kelp]

Mega nice map, really well done — especially with all the paths. You guys did a great job!

Thank you dice & ripple effect

[mellow chasm]

Yeah, very nice map. Good job BF Studios 👍🙂

[lone ridge]

Any ETA on the SDK update?

[steady basalt]

Whats up 🙂

[dense panther]

Good Job Devs. Really good Map. Thank you.

[tardy cosmos]

The in game chat, "rubbish map", "metro knock off". oh my god, my back hand was ready 😂 ... Awesome map, the little under under ground bits.. sneaky!! 🫡

[cerulean kelp]

Now we can only hope that next month’s Portal update will be just as amazing as the last two new maps.

With team switching, scope restriction settings, and maybe even Escalation becoming Portal Verified.

It would be nice if something like that gets added.

[tardy cosmos]

woohooo!!! There it is AH6M... 🥳 transferring projects. I don't think the bike is ready yet but rest assured, they're cooking..

[rich venture]

Why I have to click on every weapon to remove those stupid orange dots when I unlock those new lasers and flash hiders? fix that 1 weapon is enough

[lost wave]

even after seeing them dots wont go away.

[soft heart]

Anything to consider with updating the SDK? Any errors with existing objects to be considered?

[tardy cosmos]

vehicle spawners, with the addition of the Ah6m, the order will change. make your changes, save then reopen in Godot. You may see Godot state a script/custom script needs to be removed. The error doesn't clear if you just export. Testing now.

[cerulean kelp]

You definitely have to try Night Mode Gauntlet — it’s so much fun!

[tardy cosmos]

Thank you dev's. Portal sands audio good, no longer have to end the first match for full population, AIbehavior changes good, now take control rather than jumping out when I jump out. Although still have problems with walls but they do adapt. Little Bird Little Bird 😍 OK you cooking, you cooking. 🫡

[rugged turret]

I'll be happy when portal servers have actual communities, map rotations, and FULL XP

[cobalt tinsel]

That’s my hope… would make portal so much better

Team balancer too

[heady prairie]

hi guys how can i create a TDM in portal ? IDK why they didn't add it to basic gameplays .

[jade quarry]

how satisfied are we with the reliability of the scripting tools in Portal?

I'm curious.

[true quest]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kek-bttv-twitch-emote-gif-15123134

[tardy cosmos]

I'm satisfied, works for me. Took a while to learn but it works.

[mellow chasm]

Has been since day 1. Don't know where you have been.

[tardy cosmos]

Ok , alright.. What withs the minimap/map for portal sand?

[rugged turret]

Ive been around.. and never find them on server browser

[mellow chasm]

Go to Filters, leave name Empty and set Free slots to Any. Then sort by player count and hit refresh.

[rugged turret]

Alright. Cool, thanks.

[uncut agate]

i cannot play the new map in a custom gamemode yet, i assume it will be added later, but thought i should point it out

[frank valve]

Solo/COOP bot lobbies exist again or am I still out of luck?

[rugged turret]

SoL

[icy spade]

New map is great can’t wait to play with bots on it once they fix that

[lone ridge]

Since people have asked.
Practice flying aviation assets on each map without any outside pressure. Each map has aircraft from both sides in their respective HQs.
Each map has been updated with the AH-6 added in. Will update again when the PAX Little Bird variant (MD-530) is added.

Rotary and Fixed Wing:
Blackwell Fields: ztg8p
Mirak Valley: ztg9b
Sobek City: ztg69
Operation Firestorm: ztg4q

Rotary Wing Only:
Contaminated: ztg4u
Eastwood: ztgaf
Liberation Peak: ztg6g
Manhattan: ztg6g

Known Issues:
1.) Liberation Peak may have a decrease in FPS for a moment on initial load in from NATO side. This is something new with with the March 17th update.
2.) Maps may take a little bit longer to load due to larger than normal CombatVolume* sizes.
3.) Due to issues within the Godot SDK, CombatVolumes are just large squares right now. Once "CTRL+Left Click" functionality is restored to add nodes, I will get the volumes reshaped into cylinders.
Or whenever DICE gives us the ability to have an infinite combat space that doesn't slow down time in the game or require us to designate a playspace.

[rugged turret]

will nightfall option be added for other maps on portal? I'm assuming no but here's hoping

[tall gazelle]

Did anyone tell @gusty moth about the little bird yet

[gusty moth]

Lmao you remembered ❤️

Finally started building my little bird practice map.

[tacit agate]

Guys, is the way I'm going about trying to get people to play with me on a server wrong?

I've posted several times on here and the Reddit for a few players to join a server with me, but it seems like I spend most of my day waiting for hours without getting a player online.

If anyone has been successful at getting people to join their server, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[lofty cradle]

so why does every experience that was previously fully xp reverted back to none after every update? this is killing unique experiences and remade maps.. this really shouldn't be an issue.

[deft kiln]

yep it's hard to get ppl regularely, unless they are used to play on your server, basically it's hard to get the first 8-12ppl then you get up in the portal search and it snowballs and if settings are ok ppl will stay for the whole day

[tacit agate]

Oh, that seems like it explains a lot. Usually people can get to 2-3 before leaving.

Hopefully luck is on my side then. I don't usually play servers everyone else always seems to play.

[deft kiln]

yeah the start is a lot based on players patience unfort

[tacit agate]

I felt so lucky to have a fella join with his wife earlier this week while I waited, they only stayed on for about 10 minutes lol

It's unfortunate really, I know this game is meant for people with friend groups they can squad with, but I don't know anyone who plays this game personally. Solo players sometimes get the short end of the stick. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild sentinel]

Whatever it is they’re doing to the portal, just fix it properly and I want the old portal the one at launch before they messed it up

[flint plume]

Ive lost all faith with Portal.

I soaked so much time into that - then they would take this away, change this and my maps wouldn't work anymore.

[tardy cosmos]

DICE level exporter. so really I need to ask dice nicely for the level exporter. I mean, I did some comparisons with the vanilla maps and although portal sands I as a terrain, the Assets is empty 0k, where as the vanilla maps have all of the assets/objects baked into the Assets. Makes the export .json files really small, like 103kb where as my export .json is 2.5MB 😬 Unless there is something I'm missing that Godot can do or I'm doing something wrong.

[tardy cosmos]

Who was asking about Decal in Godot, it would seem it can be done with decal node.

[lone sun]

Hi is there way how do i unlock this comestic skins? Just found on internet but cant see in game?? Like silver dagger in BF5

[cerulean kelp]

You need a lot of advertising on platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram — many people don’t even use Reddit.

Your ads should clearly show your server rules and settings, so people understand what makes your server unique.

But everything takes time. Many Battlefield communities have been around for over 10 years — they didn’t grow overnight.

[lament gorge]

I consider this the unofficial portal chat (even though its the main discord) There is a dedicated battlefield portal hub discord you need to join and then you can call on regions for testing.

I feel like a better way they could have handled this "Portal" section would have been by linking the actual Portal Hub Discord

[gentle gull]

If you be REALLLYY nice to it and say please, you can get like 3.0

[tardy cosmos]

Ha! bats eye lids, cutey eye's, pretty please 🥺 . If i could compress all of it, more memory for everything else like ambientes, plumes of smoke, planes and UAV's flying over, barrels on fire, bases on fire, debris floating around. birds. FX, SFX, Music. That's if it even possible using to the portal sands map. It would be nice tho.

[gentle gull]

I think compress limit is like 1.05

[tardy cosmos]

wait, are you telling me its possible and no how to do it?

[cobalt ibex]

Does portal have bots for most breakthrough maps?

[tacit agate]

Oh okay, I didn't even know people do advertising for these kinds of things.

Well I appreciate the information, and definitely feel like it has helped. While yes, communities take time to evolve, I want to definitely work towards building up a base of a few people willing to play. Thank you (•ᴗ<˶)✧₊ ⊹ 👍

[tacit agate]

I didn't know the Battlefield Portal had better communication spots. I always assumed the official places DICE had in place were where many people went to get servers up and running.

Would you by any chance have a link? I'd love to finally get a server going, I spend most of my days waiting for a game to start as I've mentioned previously. Lol

[cerulean kelp]

Please, I always try to help as best as I can. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[tacit agate]

Well I certainly appreciate it!

I do believe that once I can get a server going, I'd like community input from where to go from there. I think if we could work on what people like and don't like, that could be done together as a group.

[cerulean kelp]

That’s a really good idea. The best thing you can do is post your ideas on Reddit and in Battlefield 6 Facebook groups. That way, you might find people who really like your ideas.

That’s actually how many communities started.

People also really like videos and images 👍

[tacit agate]

I'll take that into consideration. Perhaps I can adjust my attempts with more detailed info as well. The Portal settings are plentiful enough that one specific thing could turn someone off, so I'll give them all the information they'll need to make their decisions based on what their likes are.

[craggy dagger]

perhaps taking consideration into adding bots? so that ppl can have fun instead of the sweats lobby

[cerulean kelp]

That’s the great thing about Battlefield — there are so many players with all kinds of different tastes.

[gentle gull]

heck yeah - just responding here too! If anyone has issues with map size limits lmk

[tardy cosmos]

3896 Max Objects/Assets.

[proper willow]

Game keeps crashing, and even made my pc restart??? Something and EA Javelin are messing with each other

[pastel moth]

Hey yo, fellas, how yall doing?, hope pretty well.

Well the case is, im trying to test a godot custom escene but when i Open the experiences in game, Game limits, objetives, Spawns, are okey but the assets like building, walls, etc aint load, anyone else with this issue?

[tardy cosmos]

Javelin just died on me. I have the game open while i was coding. All of a sudden, Javelin detect suspicious activity and closed the game.

[cerulean kelp]

As the next mode, I would suggest creating Gun Master from Portal Hub 👍

[pastel moth]

Seems like portal wont load assets

[cerulean kelp]

Good evening Hope,

And all other developers reading this 👍

I was wondering if it might be possible to introduce a community list on Discord, where all communities can register themselves.

This would help players who don’t want to play alone to quickly find a community that fits them — for example:
“Ah, this community has rules like no base camping and fair play,” or
“This one plays Hardcore with these specific settings — I like that.”

It could really strengthen Portal, because players could easily find others who enjoy the same settings.

It might also reduce having 10–30 servers with identical settings.

Developers and EA could also see which settings the community actually prefers.

Communities would have an easier time being discovered in Portal,
and smaller communities would get a better chance to grow — or even team up with larger ones.

Just an idea 💡

[cerulean kelp]

We discovered a military base in Croatia that looks exactly like Hagental Base.

[weary fog]

If anyone from EA follows along on this chat, my community's experience MPHD just ended our main menu feature and we need someone to manually unlock our experience in portal so we can update our map rotation with the new map. thank you 🙏

[elder canopy]

Hello guys i hava a problem in Bf 5 when i start playing after long break there is a fog in my screen in bf5 lobby and in game pls guys i try restart and aktualize game consistency idk what to do guys pls help me

[heady prairie]

can I find anywhere a good guide to make a hardcore TDM serwer with full exp ?

why is it so limited ?

same maps same gamemodes ... no development. just monetize monetize monetize . Skins skins skin . battlepass battlepass battlepass . battlepasspro .... cmon we are not idiots . Such a waste of a GREAT GAME

[cobalt tinsel]

great idea

Also, have they discussed all of the portal changes coming on April 14? I know they mentioned the gas/night mode LTMs coming to portal, but is there anything else coming?

[rugged turret]

They haven't uttered a word to my knowledge. They barely talk about portal

[cobalt tinsel]

dang

[rugged turret]

For all we know portal improvements could be something big, or completely inconsequential. We don't know bc there's not a description. And they communicate seldom with the community.

[cobalt tinsel]

probably will just have to wait for patch notes then

Was hoping we see server QoL stuff for portal soon. Favoriting, multiple server admins, team balancer, etc...

it just has been brutal recently trying to get a server filled. I had 20 people the other night on trying to get the server seeded to 64. Even that wasn't enough, we barely got any random players. It seems like random players just aren't finding or playing anything except hardcore right now

[jade hedge]

Has anyone had a successful glitch free match of shell shocked yet?

Looked fine when I watched shroud and peanut play it yesterday but every match I load into it says "THE HORDE WINS GAME OVER"

[dull basin]

That would be great, because the server browser is terrible

[cerulean kelp]

“I have the same problem. It always says it will restart in 10 seconds, then ‘Game Over’, and the image is covering half of the screen.”

[barren junco]

cant build my community if I can't start my own server, the 4 player limit to start ruins hosting. I've been tring to build a community since portal in 2042 with zero luck.

[cerulean kelp]

“When it comes to things that are still in development, they usually don’t talk about them yet to avoid disappointing anyone if it takes longer than expected.
So we just have to wait until April 14th.”

“We’ll have to let ourselves be surprised.
But after the last two maps and this great mode, we can look ahead positively.”

[jade hedge]

It's a shame. I got so excited to hop in after watching shroud and peanut play

[lofty cradle]

anyone remember the undead portal experience? the person who made it has stopped development.. i mean.. i don't get why EA/DICE do this to the game.. it could survive from these modes or maps being made.. but they don't put the effort or give us what we need to make the game succeed.

[tacit agate]

How much you wanna bet they have a Halloween update in mind that's exactly like a COD zombies mode, or even an infection gamemode, and they didn't want the competition from a community experience?

[lofty cradle]

They highlighted the undead mode recently on their blog.. i mean.. there is a chance they do but .. it's all about the money.. if they aren't making money.. it's not going to happen.

[tacit agate]

Exactly. I bet they're already creating Halloween bundles to sell while the event is live, made some profit off of "realism because it's a soldier in a costume".

[lofty cradle]

It's wild to think if they want that.. they better hope the content from here on til October will keep players happy and stick around.. it's not looking good.

I've always backed Battlefield to the end.. I never have turned my back on them but it's really lacking right now.. the silence from the devs.. no Q&A has happened even tho they mentioned it possibly happening.. i don't see it revealing anything promising.

[tardy cosmos]

it did look pretty good last night but when peanut banned people, this is when the problem happened where by the horde wasn't released.

[tardy cosmos]

I hope not

[mellow chasm]

If you can't get 4 people then unlikely you will get 64 even if they lower it to 1 player to start the match.

[deft kiln]

At least if we could start with 1-2ppl (& eventually bots) it would avoid the endless wait/hope of reaching 4ppl to start something
To avoid any XP abuse with this dice could block any XP earning until the match reaches 4 ppl

[cobalt tinsel]

yup, i had 20 people on and we couldn't even fill with that.

There is a serious problem with a lack of players in Portal for certain modes. In my opinion, they should extend matchmaking into Portal as well or do something like that

like if you're running a Verified mode that is pretty much the same as base game rules I don't see why it shouldn't be incentivized to play that

[mellow chasm]

The problem is that if players sort by player count, they are still shown only recommended servers and not the full list. Most don't know you have to refresh.

[cobalt tinsel]

that is an issue, yes

there also needs to be more incentive for people to play Portal in general. UI improvements too

idk i don't want to sound like a broken record. There's just so much potential here lol

Also, I have no problem with hardcore players, but it's a bit discouraging how it seems to be the only mode people want to play in Portal

[rugged turret]

Or have verified portal matchmaking

[lofty cradle]

Getting the devs acknowledging and actually going through with this is what the problem is.

[mellow chasm]

Yes, 99% in Portal are hardcore servers. If you host normal server, it will be a lot harder to gather people.

[mellow chasm]

I guess because those that play vanilla are happy with matchmaking and hardcore players dominate Portal because it's the only way to play HC.

[rugged turret]

game already feels so hardcore with its manageable weapon recoil/spread and fast TTK

I pretty much played only hardcore on BF4 beyond the early days; BF6 feels kinda like that to me

[cerulean kelp]

That’s also because normal servers usually have the same settings as official DICE servers, while hardcore servers offer many different variations of settings.

[heady prairie]

Hi guys and girls . I'm trying to start a new hardcore rush server with 30 % HP . If you can join so we get some amount of players to start a game . At the beginning 4 players needed but to list the server at least 10-15 would be nice so it can fill . GAME CODE ZTH68 . thx for any help to start playing

[lofty cradle]

Does anyone feel like portal got the hazard zone treatment from 2042? The updates for portal are so minimal and has not received major changes since launch.. it just feels like only minor bug fixes at this point.

[soft heart]

With the Red Bull racing in mind, I overhauled my custom map to include a race circuit. This is a non-traditional custom and doesn't factor in XP, but is a great map to Race around, vehicle train, and come up with FFA style mini games with up to 22 of your friends. Litter Burd has been added, and Friendly Fire is turned on to PVP with friends. Just finished it up yesterday, let me know what you guys think. PORTAL CODE: ZQJ5Q

[cerulean kelp]

I’ll give the racing a try 👍”

[weary fog]

@EA/@DICE - Please unlock experience code MPHD in Portal (still locked from Main Menu Feature). I need to update our map rotation to include the new map and republish so all the empty servers stop clogging our cache and blocking our legit servers from showing up in browser. Please DM or tag me here when it's done 🙏

[jade hedge]

Can you not join shell shocked as a group?

[dry drift]

What is this channel used for?

[soft heart]

I meant to put in a server message that the Race Starting Point is the Blue Box Spawn at the Upper Left 😅

[weary fog]

just had 7 full servers crash.. 😅

wish we could pay for server hosting through a reliable 3rd party server provider... i have cloud hosted servers for other things that rarely if ever go down

[tall silo]

Hello, join to my server, zs3gp, 4 players in Breakthrough vs bots /////. zs3gp. /////

[cerulean kelp]

The airspace is too small.

[humble pilot]

It's not about the hoster if the application crashes 🙈

[cerulean kelp]

Weapon leveling is way too fast now.

[weary fog]

If it’s not the provider but the game application itself.. they need to fix it to make it stable. Why do other games supporting massive server browsers & playerbases not crash on a regular basis like BF6 servers do? Our community has full servers crash almost daily 😕

[craggy dagger]

released?

[rugged turret]

Why is it when you search for good portal servers, you only find bot farms? Idk why populated custom servers don't show up

[soft heart]

Fixed it, much larger airspace now

[echo nest]

Can we play vs bots only on portal?

[cloud burrow]

YES

[civic cipher]

Anyone want to PM me and help me organize some full lobby fun portal modes?

[warped heath]

Wait, wut, did dice remove stupid minimum human requirement?

[warped heath]

Portal was just there to pull off a rugpull

[lofty cradle]

do you mean rug? i get what your saying

[warped heath]

Dice/EA is interested in minmaxing profits, and these are currently in MP

[lofty cradle]

it's really going to be a gamble if we ever get portal to the point of where we want it.. it might be too late when they do it.. i think it would be around the end of life in terms of support and they see no money left to be made so they give us all the progression and XP in portal

[warped heath]

Plus some execs put a lot of faith in BR. Doing something 3 times in a row and expecting different results is just madness

[lofty cradle]

the BR means nothing to me.. I never got the hype of BR to be honest

[jade hedge]

I think people lack the motivation to join them or fill them up because of how rough portal was for a while

I see people all the time refuse to believe that there's anything good happening in portal. Even when a cool new custom map or mode shows up they ignore it because of how rough portal was for such a long time

I think the devs need to continue promoting featured experiences on their Twitter e.c.t. the zombie mode promotion is a good start 👌

That sponsored stream with peanut shroud e.c t was a smart move to get more eyes on portal being improved

[icy spade]

Please dice fix it to solo bots in portal please

I honestly couldn’t care less if they don’t add XP I just wanna chill with bots

[icy spade]

This is what I’m nervous about

[lofty cradle]

Til we get an actual extensive response on what will be done to portal besides adding the limited time mode things ( Snow, the delusion gas, maybe night time for all maps) and bug fixes.. this is what will happen more than likely.. We've had nothing regarding a rework on how portal is found or used by players.

Those who make cool experiences have since moved on or are on their last run with portal.. it's a shame.

One last thing I will add.. showcasing the experiences on the homepage of the game isn't enough.. We need matchmaking to be less used and encourage more of the portal server browser.. along with all experiences having Full XP/Experience and 60Hz.

I still have hope but I will believe it when I see it if they do fix portal.

[real torrent]

imagine the april portal update is just them adding the limited time modes lmao !! cant be right?

[lofty cradle]

It'll be that or bug fixes.. I hope I'm wrong.

[warped heath]

It'll be exactly that

The nightvision googles are used as this update image for a reason

However, night mode would be nice for zombies

[cloud burrow]

Hi soldiers, New server creation: ZUX7X
i need feed back thanks for any help

[lofty cradle]

I suggested this with the person who made the undead mode in portal.. Unfortunately it's no longer being developed or updated due to the lack of portal updates or support by EA/DICE.

[rugged turret]

Yeah they really need to support the mode and do a QA or something. It's a very bad look.

[lofty cradle]

I tried my luck with getting info on portal updates.. No information was shared unfortunately.

[rugged turret]

I saw. That's like all they ever say dude. "Oh I don't have any information." Really?

[lofty cradle]

It's more like "We're not allowed to discuss anything at this time.."

[rugged turret]

I know, but they're the most vague communicators on a game I think I've seen lol

[lofty cradle]

well.. we gotta remember it's a AAA known franchise.. the devs don't call all the shots.. they have bosses as well.

[rugged turret]

I just wish there was a hint of passion, but I never feel that lol. Yes I remember it all too well

[lofty cradle]

I want it to succeed but i can't force them to give answers.

I did fill out the survey they posted earlier.. I was more brutally honest this time around and I hope it makes somewhat of a difference.

[raw silo]

I hope it makes a difference but we wont notice until possibly early 2027 if they start implementing all the changes needed, it takes a while to get it corrected and the heads of EA already have their own roadmap...either they change direction soon or this game will be dead

[lofty cradle]

I wouldn't go as far as 2027 .. I'm thinking around mid-May or early June for more information.

[mellow chasm]

Filters > Name leave empty, Free slots set to Any. Then sort by player count and hit refresh.

[lofty cradle]

Sadly I never find anything good besides bot farms or hardcore only experiences.. bummer.

[mellow chasm]

People don't care about vanilla in Server Browser. They have matchmaking for that.

[lofty cradle]

Not necessarily. I would love 64p vanilla breakthrough

[mellow chasm]

Most don't care I would say. Vanilla servers are rare in Server Browser.

Can you use portal to achieve your class challenges. I am stuck on the last recon challenge needing 3 headshots from 120m in a single match and cannot get it in normal matches so anyone know If I can bang it out in portal

[jade hedge]

This week's featured mode is absolute peak

Just wish we had 60hz in these

[rugged turret]

Featured modes should always be 60 hz. It's strange they're not. They more than have the money for it.

[shut skiff]

i feel like this could be resolved if dice bothered to give a good chunk of xp and solo play in portal in general

Like the progression in this game is exhausting

[cerulean kelp]

The new custom Winter Offensive is extremely laggy.

Hope

[lofty cradle]

This is due to not having the experiences with 60hz.. i don't waste my time with it til they fix it..

Hi! We're aware of this and have been investigating

Hope we’ll see all of you developers next week on the servers for the Red Bull Supermoto race.

A bit of fun racing together between developers and the community! 🏁🔥

Hahaha, we will be there! If you keep an eye out, you may see me 😉

[cerulean kelp]

The community will be excited to race against you guys 😜😜

And I’m looking forward to it too 😎😎😇

And I think it’s great to see you regularly on the server. And we’ll definitely see each other again in-game.

Nah lol BF1 was peak

BF4 is overrated af

Bf1 weapons were trash

Gunplay is the best imo they shoot like WW1 guns

BF4 suppression is the worse

Well yeah they were ww1 guns. I think in terms of immersion, bf1 was phenomenal. I just like more modern settings.

Fair enough

[static brook]

Any bot farming codes for weapon XP?

[cobalt tinsel]

it would be so cool if you could adjust game mechanics more in depth and stuff in portal. Like weapon damage curves, gadgets, class balance, etc

Like I've been trying to get this game as close to BF4 as I can in portal

i think a lot of people would enjoy playing a community-developed rework of past game mechanics

[cerulean kelp]

What are your wishes for Battlefield 7?

[deft kiln]

portal with bots & full xp... hihi

[forest mica]

does anyone know when the little bird is going to be added into portal?

[icy spade]

I swear if they end support after season 5

[odd axle]

Shell Shocked another broken portal mode,
Doesn't even let u change your pistol...

[summer notch]

That is intended by design from the creators of the experience

[severe void]

Has the shell shocked portal been fixed yet? There were lots of bugs where the horde gets stuck in enclosement and on the end of game it got stuck so people cannot move onto another game.

[forest mica]

apparently its been added already, but for some reason any portal match i create, i cant deploy and there is nothing on the map

[jade hedge]

To release very very far away

[cerulean kelp]

That’s exactly the point. It’s better to share ideas early, before the work even begins.

What did they do to portal what happen to all the good test flight modes

[cerulean kelp]

We have to hide our KitKats.

[summer notch]

No, you better hand them over! I am building a collection of 15tons

[cerulean kelp]

😂😂 The whole of Europe has no KitKats left anymore! ,

The new gold in Europe is KitKat — I’d better hide mine so I can get rich 😄

[jade quarry]

why? 👀

[cerulean kelp]

Because Hope steals everything. She already made a whole truck in Poland disappear — loaded with nothing but KitKats. 😄

That gives us better chances in the Red Bull race now. 😄

[silk tundra]

~~Hey, I'm looking for 3 people in EU to kick-start a game on Portal, it's just a custom hardcore conquest made to feel more like BF4 - slower speed, lower player density, no sliding, etc., with 1-hit-kill weapons disabled and with a few BF6-specific annoyances toned down.

Experience code is Z1FAR or you can search for Sane Defaults.~~

Waited half an hour, nothing happened, went to play Helldivers instead :D

[soft heart]

There's certainly Test Flying and aerial combat in my map; ZQJ5Q

Do we have confirmation of New Portal sdk with the Dirt Bikes April 14th?

[lone ridge]

Hope made it seem like that would be the case along with Hagenthal.

[neon tangle]

@summer notch not sure who to tag but I've had friends tell me challenges dont track in portals. Any word on this if it's a bug? The portal pages say full progression (all green checks)

sorry if i tagged the wrong person - it happened in latest big update my friends and I like to do some challenges there

[rugged turret]

I can kinda understand challenges not tracking on unverified modes. But on the featured mode on the front page? Yeah challenges should absolutely track there.

[neon tangle]

Honestly I find it weird. Bunch of players instantly alienated even though they follow rules to make portals that are marked full progression, but aren’t. Bad user experience at a minimum

[mellow chasm]

If its a Verified Experience, then challenges should track. I was playing some time ago and got some challenges completed.

[neon tangle]

not sure why they'd list challenges as tracking on non verified portal codes then

still weird regardless if verified modes work - bad user experience

[cerulean kelp]

On verified Portal experiences, challenges do work.
If spotting is disabled, then obviously any spotting-related challenges won’t track – which makes sense.

On custom/individual Portal experiences, challenges and stats don’t track at all – and it clearly states that as well.

So where exactly is your issue, and which specific challenge are you talking about?

The developers need precise details – what, where, and which challenges are not working.

[neon tangle]

Not sure I can explain it any further this is unhelpful lmao. It’s very simple.

There were normal portal codes with bot fill that previously tracked challenges

Regardless of what the intended behavior is, the UI states everything tracks (green check marks on portal code page)

My comment was regarding the fact that it says it tracks when it doesn’t, making a bad user experience. Never said a specific challenge, and don’t care to elaborate. It’s clearly a bug, but this discord is dead so whatever

[cerulean kelp]

Okay .

[mellow chasm]

Share the experience code. Because for me all challenges work on Verified Experience.

[silk tundra]

Pretty sure if the bot backfill is enabled, challenges won't track

But don't quote me on that

Also, how does one test the settings of their own verified experience when you need another 3 people to start a match?

[mellow chasm]

Join another one that has players already to test it out. I am right now in BF and I get challenges completed.

[silk tundra]

What if I'm creating a verified experience and I want to check if the settings I picked do what I think they do?

[mellow chasm]

Wait for other 3 players to test it out. Or use custom template for custom experience where you can start with just 1 player.

[quaint compass]

I don’t know how else to say this at this point:

Players figured out how to run 1-player servers with official rules not some broken XP farm garbage, just actual playable servers that didn’t require you to sit around waiting for 3 other people to exist.

And surprise surprise…

• Servers were active again!
• People were actually playing!
• You could jump in instantly instead of waiting in empty lobbies!

Portal didn’t feel like a ghost town for once!

For a brief moment, it actually felt like someone at DICE accidentally made a good decision.

So what did they do?

They removed it, and nuked every other server there was that allowed this.

Like genuinely… what is the thought process here?

You finally have:

• Increased engagement!
• More active servers!
• Portal + PVE Players coming back!

And your reaction is to shut it down?

The 4-player requirement to start a server is one of the dumbest design decisions tied to Portal.

At this point, it honestly feels like every time the community fixes Portal for you, you step in and break it again.

Bring back 1-player server starts, and literally, stop acting surprised when Portal dies… again.

[silk tundra]

4 players to start is how battlefield servers always worked, as far as I remember

At least in BF 3 and 4

[rotund anvil]

In Battlefield 2042, you could create a server and start it yourself and enjoy the game, and that’s why I bought Battlefield back then. For Battlefield 6, they also said that it would be possible to play solo with bots, which was available at the beginning, and that’s why I bought Battlefield 6 as well. But when they removed that option, I stopped playing Battlefield 6, and I won’t play it again until they bring that option back. And if they never bring it back, I will never buy any future Battlefield game again.

Before the game was even released, they announced and promoted that feature, but after some time they removed it, which is disappointing for all players who bought the game for PvE, just like it was with Battlefield 2042.

[quaint compass]

Problem is, I don't have 3 or 4 friends ready at any given time I jump on BF. Also, due to my region, I can't find servers. So, Portal was the only thing that worked for me.

[silk tundra]

2042 is Battlefield in the name only. It is a soulless hero shooter made under a Candy Crush CEO with the directive to "just copy what's popular", and thus doesn't count as a Battlefield :D

[quaint compass]

I agree 100%. Thing is, I went ahead and bought both versions for XBOX and PC, and both being Phantom Edition. Due to the fact that I was promised that I could play Portal, however I want, and still unlock guns, gadgets, attachments, complete assignments at my own pace.

Only for them to take it away. First it was 20 player requirement, which I don't have, then they lowered it to 8, which I still don't have, and now 4? Which I also still don't have.

I like playing solo sometimes, and chilling doing my own thing.

Props to DICE for taking that away, from me, and other players too.

[neon tangle]

don't try to reason in here I tried lmao.. people don't get it

[cerulean kelp]

“I have a question: do people really buy a multiplayer game just to play PvE?”

[neon tangle]

portals are only for no xp custom games apparently. i.e. wasting your lifespan

[quaint compass]

Funny thing is, I made a Reddit thread about this nonsense, and to my surprise its at 40K views, 200+ Upvotes, and about 100 Comments, with players like me, asking for Solo Starting Server on Portal.

I mean, the data showcases something.

[quaint compass]

I've been trying for a while now lol.

[neon tangle]

if you don't play a public game and sweat then you're not a real fan bro! sorry! take a hike

[quaint compass]

Yes, you'd be surprised.

[quaint compass]

I've been playing BF games since Bad Company, I had tolerance for PVP back then. But, I am older now and I don't have the patience nor energy for PVP Sweat fests everytime now.

[silk tundra]

And to be fair, the same can be said about BF6. Everyone who knew how to make a Battlefield now works for Embark and Arrowhead. The current developers are not permitted to make the game fun, and seemingly rely on ChatGPT advice for every decision. The only person that could oppose greedy EA execs from the position of power and authority is gone.

[quaint compass]

That's the thought process by the looks of it lol.

[cerulean kelp]

I’m honestly really surprised, but that’s also because I enjoy playing with my friends and competing against others.”

[quaint compass]

Man, 2 weeks ago, there was a server on Portal with official rules and everything, it was Conquest with all Maps, the server at most had like 15 players max.

It was fun, and more laid back.

And then it got nuked, but hey, let's keep the XP Exploit Servers running. I don't understand the logic.

[silk tundra]

I actually only played pve in Battlefield 2, because I lived in a village and had no internet :D
The only times I got to play it against real people was when me and friends went to a city and stopped at a gaming cafe

[quaint compass]

I am Australian, I live and work in the Middle East. And, with what's going on, there are 0 Middle Eastern Servers running right now. So, Portal back then and NOW was the only solution.

They nuked all servers on Portal, and the only servers available are garbage Exploit XP ones.

I mean, Hey Dice... You're removing the wrong servers here. Not sure, if that's crossed their mind.

[cerulean kelp]

“But doesn’t pure PvE feel too easy for you?”

[silk tundra]

The solution right now is to find a better game to play, because EA is just milking a dead cow at this point

[quaint compass]

Even when I try hosting a server, it hosts it in Europe, my ping goes up to 115ish, which is still playable, but I don't have time to sit and wait in a lobby to have 3 other players come into existence to join the server lol.

It would have been good, if it starts with 1 player, where the match starts, and I can at least do something.

[quaint compass]

It's not pure PVE when there are other players on the server though. It's more PVEPVP.

[quaint compass]

Ehhh, I guess. I am 100% The Devs don't even skim through Reddit to see complaints and threads.

[silk tundra]

4 player start would have been more than fine when the game had 300k player peaks, to be fair. Unfortunately, they picked the feedback from that era, and did not adjust for the fact that nobody plays their game anymore

[quaint compass]

Probably yes, I remember Portal was an amazing experience when the game first launched. Me and 3 friends all joined official servers that were running official modes and had great fun. But, after removing XP, adding the stupid 20 player requirement, everyone moved on.

[silk tundra]

Yup.

[quaint compass]

I tried to get them back into it, when they lowered it to 4, but even then.. They had enough with the game and moved on.

[silk tundra]

My one usecase for Portal is running esoteric Conquest settings that appeal to BF3 Hardcore enjoyers and nobody else, and slamming that with a minimum player count requirement just killed all chances of it ever happening

[quaint compass]

Any developer here? I'll pay you 100$ to reduce the 4 player requirement to 1. It's a click of a button

[quaint compass]

Yeah, I understand you mate. I like to sometimes host a server with a new map, just to explore it on my own. But, hey! Can't do that either.

[rotund anvil]

I don’t understand how some people can’t grasp that there are players who enjoy PvP and players who enjoy PvE. And those of you who prefer PvP—I don’t know why you judge people who like to play exclusively PvE. I’m one of those who enjoys PvE, and I have fun with it just like you enjoy PvP. Everyone should be allowed to choose what suits them best and what they enjoy more. After all, we all bought the game to enjoy what it offers, so I don’t see any reason why people shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy PvE just like others enjoy PvP. What’s the big deal? Just let people choose what they like and don’t judge them for it.

[silk tundra]

You'll need to bribe their instance of ChatGPT because it's what's running the show now

[quaint compass]

[silk tundra]

You can't tell me a human wrote a challenge that asked you to play five rounds of king of the hill, and then also win five rounds of king of the hill

[quaint compass]

Exactly, how does affect their gameplay on how I unlock my Assignments, Guns, etc. There is no way it's affecting their gameplay whether I play PVE.

[quaint compass]

Sounds like AI lol.

[silk tundra]

Anyone would immediately figure out that you need to play five rounds in order to win five rounds, so one of the two is redundant

[rotund anvil]

And I don’t understand why developers limit players. If players bought the game and paid for it with their own money, let them have complete freedom to choose how they want to play. If someone wants to play PvP, let them play PvP; if someone wants to play PvE, let them enjoy PvE. I don’t see what the big problem is in letting people enjoy a game they purchased in the way they choose. Why take away that right from them just because you’re the developers?

[quaint compass]

Yet, BF Comms just released a new article on X with upcoming updates. Nothing mentions: Oh hey, we've heard your feedback, and shall reduce the Portal Requirement to 1 player to enjoy experiences made on Portal.

So, yeah. That just confirms they don't care.

[silk tundra]

Problem is that people also want unlocks when playing PvE, which gives people that play PvP a way to abuse PvE as a shortcut to unlock things faster than those who only play PvP

Read my message carefully

[quaint compass]

My bad my bad.

So, they need to fix the way players unlock stuff. That's the issue.

[silk tundra]

Yes

[quaint compass]

I mean, BF2042 gave Moderate XP, but you can still unlock guns, attachments, complete assignments. Why not implement that system? It's a better system than BF6's.

Don't break what's already working.

[rotund anvil]

They should have made it so that attachments unlock faster in PvP than in PvE, and everything would be solved.

[silk tundra]

Nah mate

PvE players would then complain that everything takes ages

[quaint compass]

Could've been a very minimal difference, for example in PVP you can unlock this sight after 35 Kills, but in PVE or Portal you'll need 50 Kills.

There are so many solutions. But, they're relying on YouTubers and their content, and keeping them pleased, and forgetting about the players who actually BOUGHT the game... Instead of getting it for free

[silk tundra]

Ideally, PvE enabled servers need a separate player profile, which is a pain to implement and doubles maintenance costs for the user database

[quaint compass]

At this point, I don't think it matters. The game has been out for a while, and it's dying. So, might as well just reduce the Portal Requirement to 1 player, give the players freedom to play however they want.

I mean come on, it's come to the point where PLAYERS are creating MAPS for the game...

Yet, apparently 6 or so studios are working on the game lol.

[rotund anvil]

They lost 50% of the players who bought the game exclusively for PvE, and those who stayed for PvP have started to get bored of it and left, moving on to something else. Gradually, PvP will become boring for the remaining players too, and they’ll switch to something else as well. Instead of letting players freely choose between PvE and PvP, which would bring many players back, they don’t want to do that—and they’re to blame for people leaving.

[silk tundra]

Unfortunately as a PvP player I could kill 60 bots in Breakthrough in about 5 minutes without dying once. I'd never get that much in a full length round if I played against real people

I wouldn't even get to 30 after a full 40 minute round

[quaint compass]

That's what happened on Portal 2 Weeks ago, so many servers were active and I had no issue finding any. Because some players figured out a way to start a server with 1 player. Too bad they took that all away...

[rotund anvil]

Attachments for people who play PvE wouldn’t affect those who play PvP—I don’t see the problem there. If you PvP players want to unlock attachments faster, then just play a few PvE matches, unlock them, and then go back to PvP. I don’t understand why it’s such a big issue that you’d limit people from playing PvE because of that. If attachments really matter that much to someone, then just play PvE until you unlock them and then continue with PvP.

[silk tundra]

It's a big issue because not all PvP players want to play against bots, and it gives players that do an advantage against them

It creates a situation whereby ALL PvP players must play PvE just to keep up with those that abuse the system

Which is not ideal

[rotund anvil]

And you—if you don’t want to play PvE with bots—then just play PvP, because you have the option to choose, while those of us who only enjoy PvE don’t have that option. I won’t affect whether you have attachments or not—you control that yourself. The problem is that they’ve restricted PvE, and I don’t see why.

[silk tundra]

If I want to play PvE I turn off crossplay

But that only works on PC at an odd hour

[rotund anvil]

But you would have the option to choose whatever you want. Right now, there’s only one option, which is PvP—there’s no PvE, and that’s the point. They should allow players to choose what they want to play, not what a few individuals want.

[silk tundra]

I feel as though I'm chatting with a bot

[rugged turret]

Do you think it's a result of server costs?

Not saying that's an excuse, but that's only reason I see

[silk tundra]

Am I not?
I say that the solution is actually far from easy and explain what issues will arise to impact players negatively if your proposed way was implemented, to which you turn around and say, "but it's so easy and literally doesn't affect anyone adversely! I don't understand why they won't do it!"

[rotund anvil]

Which do you prefer more, PvE or PvP?

[silk tundra]

Yes

They have already tried a few clever ways to give PvE players what they wanted, which inevitably got abused to absolute hell by PvP players in a way that ruined the game for honest players on both sides, and they had to shut it down, and nobody was happy

Even if you only care about PvE, you had to have seen Portal absolutely filled with AFK XP farms to the point of being unusable either way.

Even if you were an honest PvE player, you wouldn't have been able to start a server because all the capacity was taken up by XP farms

[rotund anvil]

Currently there are 35,000 players playing, and of that, at least 90% are PvP players. That number will drop significantly over the course of a year, because many PvP players will move on to another game, and the player count will decrease. When you try to find a match, you’ll have to wait a long time, and then bots will be added to fill the spots because there aren’t enough real players. Will you continue playing then, or will you leave the game, since PvP will also be a mix of bots and players at that point? Will attachments still matter to you then?

[silk tundra]

So all I'm saying is that you're not thinking it through with enough depth and nuance and consideration. The problem has no easy solution, and ChatGPT which they predominantly use cannot come up with a clever one.

[silk tundra]

I already don't play the game, and haven't played a round since November

Because I couldn't

With the way Portal has been, I'll never be able to start a round :D

[rotund anvil]

There are many players who don’t want PvE but have stopped playing PvP as well, and now you’re also emphasizing that you don’t like PvE while not playing PvP either. PvE players bother you, and you complain about attachments and farming, yet you don’t play the game at all. Many of you write and talk like that, but you’re not playing at all—that’s shown by the player numbers. I don’t understand why you even comment that you don’t like PvE when you don’t play PvP either. Isn’t that a bit ridiculous, what you and people like you are doing—commenting on things like this while not even playing the game?

[silk tundra]

I think you're reading my messages wrong

I have nothing against PvE or PvE players, and would have played PvE if there was an option

I don't need that option because I'm also a strong PvP player, but having options is good.

[cerulean kelp]

I can’t really agree with that. Communities and clans often stay loyal to a game for many years — especially in multiplayer games. Battlefield has always been a pure multiplayer experience, focused on PvP for years.”

[neon tangle]

Go look at the player chart and say that again

[quaint compass]

I haven't touched the game since they nuked all those servers that were fun. They were called AI ZHENG FU or something like that, Verified Mode, Official Rules, all Maps.

Played it with friends for a few weeks, and then all of a sudden it got removed.

[silk tundra]

I completely missed them lowering the player count a month ago because I relied on jackfrags to mention it, and wasn't on Discord, and Jack never mentioned it

[quaint compass]

But hey, just to change the scenery! I make Music everyone

[silk tundra]

I switched to learning to draw after my evenings were freed up by Portal being destroyed :D

[quaint compass]

Well, at least you know you can do that without having DICE taking away all your pencils, and then telling you: YOU NEED 4 PENCILS TO START DRAWING!

[silk tundra]

Hell yea

[quaint compass]

But, on a serious note, I do make Music. Gieo Music, no joke.

😂

[silk tundra]

I've no idea what that is lol

[quaint compass]

My "Artist" name on YouTube lol.

[silk tundra]

Ah

[quaint compass]

Watch DICE tell me I need 4 ears to make music now

[rotund anvil]

Visit SteamDB and check that every month 20k+ players leave Battlefield 6, see how many players are playing Battlefield 5, how many Battlefield 1 and how many Battlefield 2042, then think about how many of those remaining players are there because of PvP

[cerulean kelp]

New Battlefield titles release regularly, and PvP players simply move on to the newer games. And Battlefield isn’t just on Steam — a large part of the player base is on the EA App.”

Why do you have the number 88 in your name?”

[rotund anvil]

I have Battlefield 1, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield 2042, and Battlefield 6, but I enjoyed 2042 the most because of Portal. When I started playing Battlefield 6, they removed PvE, so I stopped playing. The remaining PvP players will also leave after some time, and then what will you do when you can’t find matches against real players? You’ll be forced either to quit or to play with bots

[quaint compass]

88% chance that DICE will never ever reduce the player requirement to 1 player to start a Portal Server.

[cerulean kelp]

I’ve been playing since Battlefield 1942. It has always been PvP for us, and we’ve always stayed until the next Battlefield title came out.”

And we’ve always played without bots — only real players.”

[rotund anvil]

Great, in about a year when there are no PvP players left in Battlefield 6 and you can’t play the game anymore, just wait for them to release Battlefield 7 and then play again.

[cerulean kelp]

Why would that be the case? We’re over 100 men and women, with around 1,000 server followers on our Discord. Why would a PvP game suddenly have no PvP players left? That’s exactly why people buy a multiplayer game — to play against other players. Otherwise, they’d just buy a single-player game.”

[rotund anvil]

Go to SteamDB, find Battlefield 6, and go to the charts section and look at how many players leave the game each month:

November 2025: -183,201 players
December 2025: -379,207 players
January 2026: -60,898 players
February 2026 (Season 2): -28,055 players
March 2026: -23,233 players
Last 30 days: -2,592 players

And explain why such a large number of players are leaving if people love PvP.

[cerulean kelp]

“Does that include the EA app as well? Because many players don’t use Steam.”

And are all the console players included in that as well?”

Those are only Steam numbers. You’re missing all the players on the EA App and all the console players.”

[rotund anvil]

What does it matter whether people play on EA, console, or Steam if people are leaving? A lot of people have also left on EA who are not included in this, and a lot of people have left on consoles who are not included in this either. It’s not about where they play, but about the players who are leaving, because a game cannot be only PvP to survive — it also needs PvE. If it is limited only to PvP, that’s exactly why players will leave, and that’s what is already happening."

[cerulean kelp]

Your data only shows Steam players. That does matter, because those are the players who play across many different games.”

[rotund anvil]

It doesn’t even matter, enjoy the PvP. I don’t feel like arguing with people who don’t understand the point.

[cerulean kelp]

Why wouldn’t PvP players want to play a PvP game? It’s already a PvP game before you even buy it — so why expect PvE?”

That doesn’t make any sense.”

[rotund anvil]

It wouldn’t make sense if they hadn’t stated right at the beginning, before the game was released, that it had both PvP and PvE. When the game came out, many people played only PvE, and that bothered them, so they shut it down and left only PvP—that’s the issue. But you’re the one who doesn’t understand this. They sold the game emphasizing that it included PvE, and then later removed it. That’s why many people who bought the game for PvE left. The ones who stayed for PvP also got bored and left, and now only PvP players remain—until they get bored too.

[cerulean kelp]

“I honestly don’t know why players left — I can’t speak for everyone. I’ve never really heard much about PvE being a big reason, but maybe I just didn’t notice it.

What I do know is that a lot of Call of Duty players went back to Call of Duty when the new one released. Also, other games came out that are popular right now. And I know some players feel like it doesn’t really feel like Battlefield anymore.

But people leaving specifically because there’s no PvE? I don’t personally know anyone who left for that reason.

Everyone has their own preference — I actually like the game as it is and I’m having fun with it every day. I was just curious why someone would buy a PvP game and then want to play PvE.”

Portal isn't going to be worth putting effort into with no full XP and progression and 60hz on by default.. it prevents anyone from wanting to play unique experiences or custom maps.. or even remade classic Battlefield maps.

Also finding these experiences with a random code you gotta look everywhere to find isn't exactly user friendly and won't attract players.. it needs a rework.

I've played many experiences that have now been completely abandoned due to lack of support for portal.. it's a shame.

[cerulean kelp]

I only play Portal, and I have full XP and 60Hz.

[lofty cradle]

What mode and map? is it a unique experience? I've never seen anything besides random HC servers made or sometimes a conquest 24/7 server.

[cerulean kelp]

Verified Portal, all maps / Conquest, Hardcore settings.

[lofty cradle]

So pretty much the barebones and nothing really new.. no offense but that isn't enough to keep portal going.

for example.. new maps or modes are featured by EA/DICE in their blogs.. you go to play it.. no XP.. takes hours after that to get it fixed.. once you get full xp enabled.. it's a laggy mess.

[cerulean kelp]

We’re quite old-school and know Battlefield as a pure Conquest game. For us, that’s what Battlefield is.

[lofty cradle]

I'm old school. I got a sealed copy of Battlefield 2 on my desk.. Conquest is all we had back then. i get it.. but portal isn't for one mode or one experience.

I found it pretty crazy that one of the devs said on here that they can't just toggle on 60hz.. I don't buy that statement.

[cerulean kelp]

You can play Rush, Breakthrough, Gauntlet, and Battle Royale in verified modes.

[lofty cradle]

Tell me where to find populated experiences on a regular basis.. I would love to know

[cerulean kelp]

Which mode are you looking for? And normal or Hardcore settings?

[lofty cradle]

I have no desire for Hardcore.. Breakthrough 64p would have me interested.

I just checked portal.. if it's not HC.. it's dead.

[cerulean kelp]

Yeah, Hardcore is the best.
For normal mode, I can only point you to DICE servers. I don’t know any regular community servers, sorry.

[silk tundra]

I know why I left - I can't play it in a way that's enjoyable anymore.

[rugged turret]

I normally love hardcore, but core BF6 is crazy fast TTK. It already feels hardcore

[mellow chasm]

Well, I have full CQ and BT servers in BF6 at the moment but both instakill/oneshot. So if you like to unload full mag, it won't be for you.

[mellow chasm]

Nvm, one became invisible, other crashed.

[cloud burrow]

Hi, anyone know how to disable the fact that a building is destructible or not?
i have OfficeBuilding_02 on my map and it's destructible, i would like to disable this, is it possible?

[soft heart]

Can I PvP & PvE on my PSP?

[soft heart]

Unless there's a script work around, I don't think so, at least I know when I added cranes in my map, there was no way to prevent them from destructing. Then again that object had an FX prefix, general structure damage of building .tcsn's I'm unsure of

[cloud burrow]

Sad..

[iron cosmos]

Yooooooo

King of camperrss - appreciate you playing the mode few weeks back!

[cloud burrow]

HI

[icy spade]

Asking the real questions

[cerulean kelp]

Could you please explain the PvE topic to me again?

Isn’t the singleplayer basically PvE already? And why would someone want to play PvE in a multiplayer game that is mainly built around PvP?

I’m not trying to upset anyone — everyone should play what they enjoy. I just genuinely want to understand the idea behind it.

[silk tundra]

It's valid. The game is a cinematic spectacle and is fun to play just for its mechanics, but other players are toxic and unfun to play against unless you are young enough and make the game your job

I don't understand what there is to not understand. The game has all these cool mechanics, and it has bots. There's no reason to not allow people to play exclusively against bots if they so choose. The functionality is there, and it could run locally, putting no strain on their servers unlike online matches

[cerulean kelp]

Yes, we are a community with players ranging from 30 to 60 years old – everything from strong to more casual players. We play mainly for fun, and even the less experienced players enjoy PvP.

[silk tundra]

And the grand idea is that some people are not like you, so they really enjoy things that you don't really enjoy, for example playing a shooter against bots

And there's not really a good reason to exclude them

[mellow chasm]

If they lower it to 1 player start, there won't be enough servers for everyone. People will just slap passwords on their servers and grind levels/attachments. Probably local co op would be a better solution. Last Sunday there was already Global Quota and you had to spam host button or were given a server in different region.

[silk tundra]

The question then becomes, is there even a healthy compromise there? 4 still feels too high, I sat for an hour in an empty lobby of a server and not a single person joined. Getting even 4 people seems impossible.

[mellow chasm]

Not impossible, otherwise how others are filling up their servers?

[silk tundra]

Less esoteric settings, I imagine

Even with 1 player start, it would take me about 90 minutes to get something like a half-full server. At least with 3-4 people you can play hide&seek until more people join

To keep them entertained

[rotund anvil]

They limited it to 4 players just to start the server, and on top of that they reduced the number of bots. When 4 players join and the server starts, it’s no longer 32 vs 32 — there are at most about 15 bots, which is really ridiculous and sad. Everything feels empty now, especially on large maps.

At the very beginning it was solo plus 32 vs 32 and it was fun. Now even if you set it to 32 (the maximum per team), you don’t actually get 32 bots — it’s capped at around 14–15 per team. They clearly decided to drive away all PvE players — bravo.

I just deleted the game, and if they don’t bring it back to how it was before, I will never play it again. You can all enjoy your PvP.

[mellow chasm]

I get up couple hours every day before work to start and seed my server, unless I am boosted into recommended tab. Got my community from Discord, I am known from BF2042 because I was hosting there as well and have regular players that play on my servers. Since day 1 of BF6 had full server.

[silk tundra]

So you see, you do not represent the majority of people trying to run a server :D

[mellow chasm]

Then you need a bigger friends list 🙂

[silk tundra]

None of my friends hate themselves enough to play a PvP game in 2026 :D

I wouldn't be friends with anyone who would

[mellow chasm]

Then you need more pve friends.

[silk tundra]

Oh I have enough PvE friends to reliably fill a Helldivers lobby every evening

Doesn't help me with a Portal server, though

All of my friends are also firmly anti-AI, meaning none of them would even look at Battlefield, much less pay money for it :D

I unfortunately bought it before I realised how much of the game is AI slop

[cloud burrow]

Please, how to remove collision of a mesh? i have an object i want to remove collision so that no players can destruct the object

[cloud burrow]

Hi, #screenshots-and-clips message

[humble pilot]

there is a possibility to add "invisible" indestructable walls by non-uniformly scaling objects. This way you can put your object behind some invisble cover.

[rotund anvil]

What you showed in the image is a PvE portal custom, not verified modes. We’re talking here about the regular verified portal mode, and again there is no 32 vs 32. Try doing the same thing you’re showing, but solo in verified modes so it’s 32 vs 32.

[quaint compass]

@rotund anvil I don't think the Devs care honestly at this point. I have been Tweeting to them every single day, asking about Portal being reverted back to 1 player requirement.

No one is answering. I've deleted the game, and won't play it again until that happens. And you know what? I don't think they will ever do it. They don't care. Otherwise, prove me wrong DICE.

So, we just need to move on to other games for now.

[rotund anvil]

I know they don’t care about that now because there are still players, but after a year, when many more players leave, they can just play this game by themselves. At the very beginning, before the game was released, they said one thing, and when it came out, they changed it—so they lied. Because of that, they didn’t just lose players, they also lost customers for the next Battlefield. I definitely won’t buy it because they disappointed me with this. But you’ll see in a few years that the game will become empty because players leave every month. And even if they bring players back after a few years, I still won’t play it again because they didn’t do it right from the start. So they have lost me as a player forever. And if they don’t listen to the community and keep doing what they want, they will end up ruining the game.

Here’s a clear example for the game PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. I started playing it again after they added the PvE mode. They made it so that in custom games you can enable bots and play with them. So you create a custom match, turn on bot fill, and you have 100 bots, playing as if they were real players. It’s far more interesting than pure PvP, and because of that, in March 2026 there was an increase in players by a large number, +644,237. That’s why PUBG is constantly in 2nd place on SteamDB, because they listened to the community, added this feature, and brought the game back to life.

[warped heath]

Exactly, I can tolerate game being subpar due external force such as pandemic (bf2042), but what bf6 did was just a blatant rugpull. They lost my trust.

[mild sentinel]

I haven’t played the portal even they update it by reducing it that requires 4 players to start the game and it still sucks. They can’t do anything right and I missed the portal the way it was at launch, it was perfectly fine when you only need one player to start matchup especially if they are playing by themselves and the bots should be up to 64 bots to fill up empty maps in any game mode.

[quaint compass]

DICE Devs are too busy to hear your feedback and others regarding Portal being reverted back to 1 player to start a server instead of 4....They've ruined it for us all.

Maybe, a DICE dev could reply in this thread and let us know whether it's being acknowledged or not. That would be nice.

[cerulean kelp]

Have you noticed that Breakthrough in Portal keeps going until the attacking team wins, even when all tickets are already depleted?”

[iron cosmos]

Which code? Like the official BFportal account’s breakthrough?

[mellow chasm]

Shouldn't be like that. Sectors end with the time limit or when all tickets are gone. Only way to continue is when tickets are 0 and attacking team is capping sectors in that moment. Then happens Overtime.

[cerulean kelp]

“I know how the mode is supposed to work.”

[mellow chasm]

It could be a bug of long uptime like desync. I played BT on portal today and didn't get an issue like you said.

[cerulean kelp]

“I thought the same at first, but then I restarted the server with normal settings — 25 minutes per sector. It’s a verified Portal experience.

I’ll set it up again and check once more.”

[hexed shell]

Are all maps in escalation mode slightly bigger than conquest?

[cloud burrow]

😱

i need u to teach me what to do please

[cloud burrow]

Oh sorry so yes they are stupid devs

[silk tundra]

Hey, I could use some help from 3 EU folks in kick-starting a server for the evening.
