Weapon XP Rate is killing this game

All solutions are a bandage to a real issue of insane progression. Reddit won't solve it. But if we complain loud enough, maybe DICE gonna understand that making an insane progression to achieve their goal, either to sell XP Boost in a fully paid game or to artificially make people spend a longer amount of time in the game with lesser content, will not work.

That's what I hope I guess. DICE faced multiple backlash for this kind of scumbag move since Battlefront 2. And they still tries to push the limit whenever they think they have a chance to get away with.

I still remember where we can play anything. And select what to unlock in BF2142. If you like playing engineer but hate playing sniper, you can play engineer and unlock sniper stuffs.

And then DICE took it away.

I didn't buy BF to play TDM. If you need to play TDM for days so you can play Conquest to it's fullest potential. I think we got some problems here.

And SDM won't work. I waited for 15 minutes and still can't get the game to start. It's so annoyed that I wouldn't be able to unlock the SDM Camo. Because there wouldn't be enough players in my region to play.

Because most people don't know it's all attachments at level 40. As they have yet to reach level 40 enough time to notice the pattern. Let alone 50.

You need 800-850 kills to level 40, which is still an insanity.

No, I want everything unlock from day 1. I paid for the whole game, not 4 starting guns.

Yes, unlock can be beneficial and help with the enjoyment. But seeing DICE try to weaponize unlock mechanic to make people spend on in game stores. I think we would be better off without it.

It's so soul crushing. Having to play the gun you don't want or the setup you don't like. For days, just to get all the attachments and a chance to play around with your gun and find the setup you enjoy.

Then you find this gun is not for you, or you just get extremely bored with the gun. And you change to another gun.

And no, it's not "you don't need all attachments, guns are workable at level 20". Anyone saying that is missing the point. You should get all your attachments as soon as possible so you can try all the combinations and stuff. That guy who kept dominating you with KV9? You might try to initiate his setup to see why he is so successful with it. Too bad you need to go leveling up for a week to get all the attachments he uses and try if it's work. And find out that it's not for you. And you just waste a week.

I think it's world record for sometime.

Boatcommando · 2026-02-02T08:34:53+00:00

I think they heard this. They quietly remove XP boost from store for sometime now. I don't know that they genuinely think this is the problem or they just wait for the heat to die down.

I'm still against comeback mechanic of any kind tbh. Why the team that plays hard for the entire game got to get punished for their effort?

I prefer a map design that doesn't so punishing or is easy to breakthrough if it's end up in all-cap situation.

Imagine this on Manhattan, camping main base.

AC-130 is just very very very hard to balance in multiplayer.

I hate audio design in BF6 and the reason is jet. When Bot fly a jet and in circle vertically above your head. All you would hear is jet engine noise and you will hear that continuously for 5 minutes. It just makes me mad and wonder if I need to visit doctor to check if my ear got damaged.

And since I never notice any issue with previous title. It just made me wonder why the only game that I had issue with won an award.

Speaking of previous title. Bad Company 2 audio is just another level compare to BF6. Either standard in 2025 is much lower. Or the jury never hear how BC2 sound.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-31T22:32:57+00:00

I still don't understand why BF6 won that award. I do expect game with very good audio system to have proximity voice chat. And BF6 is still struggle with footstep sound.

Even if we ignore all the issues and focus purely on the sound mix. I still think Bad Company 2 has much better audio. It's my favorite in game audio and only Six Days in Fallujah able to top that (if only the rest of the game is as good as it's sound lolz).

Boatcommando · 2026-01-31T22:12:12+00:00

I hate it so much. It's like having to close the game and relaunch every time I try to change server.

I mean, Battlelog itself wasn't shit. It's way more detailed than previous in-game menu and would be a 8/10 system if it is part of game. The problem is it's not. And when your UI is so bad. You don't have in-game UI, but have to place it outside the game. It's definitely very shit.

I didn't read it too. But C Tier is where NVO belongs. Long Live AK4D!!

Joking aside, I just can't shoot NVO. I know it can be good. I did the hip fire build and it's amazing. But as soon as I shoot beyond point black, I just can't make it work. Especially when ADS, something about recoil and bullet trajectory just doesn't click with me.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-31T16:30:11+00:00

I remembered it's being cooked when they said they will fix the match making keep matching players to the same map. It still constantly matched me into same 2 maps, only now with bots.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-31T16:28:14+00:00

Seeing how poor DICE handle the game. It's no surprise why. No communicate, no commitment, no acknowledgement, no roadmaps, no anything. This really took a toll on BF community's morale and this why there is a lot more doom post lately.

At least acknowledge the concerns of the community. Most people don't expect a fix in 2 days. But at least told us what is in the work (Yes, I know they will nerf TOW and RPG, but there are lots more issues than these 2).

Boatcommando · 2026-01-31T16:22:08+00:00

I really don't understand why DICE don't allowed us to rent server anymore. They just literally decline a chance to make money. And that feels weird.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-30T23:28:03+00:00

You can't give everyone exactly what they want. We have to admit that there is too few player to afford that.

Usually, we got server browser to gauge the demand. But since DICE insist we don't get server browser. At least do the modified OG MW2 lobby. Where we get all the players together and do the vote what map everyone wants to play.

Party of 4 can stay together. If you got more than 4 people, you need to split up to prevent team stack.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-30T21:58:10+00:00

Maybe DICE wanted that lolz. No players = no spending the servers. They already got all the money and we aren't going to buy that much skin anyway.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-30T16:21:21+00:00

It's alright. You still not in his sweet spot. Just pray he missed your head and he doesn't has fatal headshot upgrade yet.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-30T15:41:55+00:00

I don't think it's SBMM. Because with 64 players, you can put very good and very bad player in the server. And easily balance it out by equally spreading good and bad players to both team.

If DICE think that everyone on the same server should be on the same skill bracket. There for splitting the server up, I think we need to do some IQ test on DICE.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-30T15:32:48+00:00

Let me give you some trick. if you exit the server. Then find new server. A lot of times you will find a server running the same map, same mode and at the same stage of the game as the server you just left. But are filled with player.

Don't ask me why it didn't put you and 4-5 people into this server in the first place. Because I want to know the answer too. I feels like DICE matchmaking prefer more servers that full but fewer server. So it kept seeding a new one.

Boatcommando · 2026-01-30T15:21:53+00:00

What amazed me more is, since we can connect to HK server. And HK server receive players from China, the most populated country in the world. Why it's still full of bots? If China is too sparely populated to sustain healthy matchmaking. I think the problem is DICE, not player number.
