Looks like solo XP is back just leveled some heli stuff super fast. But at the end of the game I got this message so there may be a cap on leveling XP? Loading a 2nd game and will report back.

Yeah this has been a thing since the start at least, you can level but not unlimited amounts per day.

Wait do you mean actual unlocks or just levels? You could always grind up levels.

Went from 0 to 180 kills on the US attack helicopter over two games in solo, with all the unlocks and XP, but realized that playing against bots was one of the few things that could actually make this game more of a chore.

Loading a 2nd game and will report back. Ok so after further testing the XP you can gain each round of solo that goes towards leveling is capped. However, all kills count towards unlocks. So I am unlocking vehicle and weapons ungraded super fast. Hell yeah! Take advantage before they nerf it again!! Edit: to answer the last few posts before level XP was uncapped but unlock was capped at the first mastery point. Now level XP is capped per round, so you can get more xp towards leveling each round but the amount is capped. Weapon kill unlocks are uncapped. This is good because you can unlock everything on weapons and vehicles super fast.

You can't level that much faster in solo than regular games, but you can unlock 10x faster and a lot of the unlocks like heli stuff is a chore with tons of AA around. One solo round I can get 20-30 games worth of kills easily.

So that dumb solo level cap doesn't apply to shots counted for attachments and gear, right?

DrBox posted:Yep, I agree the bugs can ruin a play session. I got Kaleidoscope twice in a row and got the no respawn bug both times within 5 minutes of playing. I quit and played Halo until my friends came online and went back in to have a few epic games. Someone mentioned this already but keep an eye out as the game is loading and it'll tell you the map in the bottom right before you go in. If it's a map you don't want you can cancel the queue and retry. I'm avoiding Kaleidoscope until the bug is fixed. I've had that bug happen on every map atleast twice except Manifest. I keep an eye out for maps I don't want when playing Breakthrough, problem is that eliminates half the maps.

Worked like a champ. Also, I don't think there's a level cap but you definitely don't earn as much XP primarily because you don't earn ribbons in that mode. I suspect they'll nerf the poo poo out of this.

The vehicle game play feels actually pretty polished to me. Infantry is both kinda unpolished and rather 'lifespan measured in seconds.' afaict if you want to have fun in this you 1000% want to not be playing solo. Even a couple so-so team mates would be a huge improvement over just solo chucking yourself into the meat grinder. also the 128 players thing means that as a solo you have far less impact than in smaller player count modes cuz a lot more of them time a point is capped cuz of a 30+ players zerging a point and there's basically nothing you're going to do to conceivably stop that. Even 64 players was a lot better about keeping the fights on a given point away from ever being 0% fights to take. Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Nov 20, 2021 |

As a solo player your fate is to die a lot, constantly, in massive shooters like these. You can do well as a camper or vehicle operator solo… But if you like to push the action as infantry you’re going to be dying a lot, no matter the map-setup. This is going to be more frustrating than fun for a lot of folks. What sort of nerd plays multiplayer games by themselves

Some tips from mama duck to my future ducklings. The anti personnel rockets are pretty good they're identical on both helis. The Anti Vehicle on the big girl heli are technically worse at infantry but tbh it's not by enough to bother with the anti man rockets. The 30 mm on the Russian helicopter is better than both. The nightbird miniguns are very bad at anything besides chopper ambushing the 20mms are merely so so but probably more useful than the miniguns.

Portal XP is still off, as is progression. AOW solo there is weapon and vehicle progression but you won't get any XP from killing AI - but spotting them gets like 5 xp so yay for that.

Hmm...you could just create a huge AI farm and just spot and use intel ribbons for major XP or will that not generate too? But I'll have to give it a try later for the weapon unlocks.

It seems like you can play with normal XP in solo for like 20-30k every 24 hours and after that it tells you that the cap has been reached and like only a 10th of your actions count towards your XP. No ribbons. At least kills count now for attachments etc.

Now I've supposedly unlocked high power ammo on the LCMG via Mastery 4 and it's also greyed out. What the poo poo? --edit: Oooooh, ok. Nevermind. --edit: Wait, no I don't get it. In the badges tab, there's only T5->T1? --edit: Nope, I need Mastery 4, but I have 5, and the necessary kills. It's greyed out. Why even? I get other gear just fine.

There is kind of a genuinely good experience under all the  but it's so hard to come by. Just had a Breakaway as attackers and we won the map, though it was close and points were traded several times. The team generally was attempting coordination. There weren't players just suiciding their own vehicles, and smart vehicles are so necessary to push both A and C. Snipers seemed to be actually getting kills on enemy snipers judging by how I was seeing them picked off, and air had good pilots, and transpo weren't suiciding either; pilot was coming in, dropping off troops and when they got hit, pulling out to heal. Team chat was popping off with attempts at coordination, and I was lucky to have a squad (of randos) that was pinging and working together somewhat with revives and ammo supplies and call-ins.All in all a really good experience, but I've put 11 hours into this game so far and it was the first time that I had a legit good match. The rest have just been a mix of sometimes fun experiences peppered through so much frustration and jank. It actually reminds me of BFV a lot in the sense that having a really good match was noteworthy and memorable for how rare it was, whereas it was a far more common occurrence in BF4/1. Edit: I guess what I'm saying is that it took a confluence of a very specific set of circumstances (that likely won't be repeated for a long time) to make the experience legit good and fun for an entire map where I could overlook the weird hitreg and jank or the fact that everybody ran identical kits. I didn't encounter any showstopping bugs or even invisible poo poo while driving the hovercraft which is super common, most of the players seemed to know what they were doing, the map is one of the better maps and has better performance, didn't hit any lag or the server making GBS threads itself, etc. Basically, a miracle. I think the only guns anybody is using anymore is the PP and the SVK, they're certainly the only two I use. SVK seems borderline OP with that 2 shot kill if you have good aim. Actually changed scopes for different engagement ranges (red dot to 4x) quite a lot with the SVK. In fact, I think it's the only gun where I actually considered the trade-offs of scope-in time. With the PP I'm only running red dot since it's a closer engagement typically, and every other gun has such random bloom so why would you ever pick a scope that's slow.

if you're in solo mode by yourself trying to unlock vehicle upgrades, DO NOT LET AI INTO YOUR GODDAMN VEHICLE not only do they drive in a straight line towards 50 enemies with rocket launchers and get you killed, they also seem to bug out the aiming for some reason like it stops being possible to turn and/or fire in stuttering increments it's extremely annoying so just fuckin drive as fast as you can if friendly infantry start coming towards you also, the 60mm AA flak launcher might be the best weapon pod in the game. insane reload speed and 2 shots people in a relatively large AOE

Tenchrono posted:The PP-29 is absolute horseshit. I don't like it when I get the jump on some guy with my LMG and start shooting him, most/all bullets connecting, and he turns around and kills me in like 0.5 seconds with the PP-29. My aim isn't great, but I'm pretty sure at least part of the issue is down to weird hit detection or unbalanced guns, since I never felt this way in BF5 (where things would usually feel more or less fair and guns would do what I expect). Drint Blasters posted:Can't even install the game, it simply refuses to appear in the origin game library. Redeem code was accepted but nothing is there.

at goons pretending Steam/Metacritic scores are an accurate reflection of a high profile game’s quality. Posters on a dead forum are supposed to not be new to how the internet works.
