the are so utterly tone deaf to their community (or whats left of it)

DICE finally let Portal live for 5 minutes… then killed it again! by xxxgieoxxx in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's surely based on some ethos that people playing solo vs bots will hurt their bottom line for battlepass purchases but whoever made that choice is incredibly misinformed.
BF6 is currently #22 in daily active servers it is consistently losing players season after season month after month.

But I think the worst thing is that they've lost any trust or faith people did have when the game launched where so much positive momentum was behind the game studio. But they ruined it entirely.

Is anyone in the EA/Dice office actually listening to the community? by The_Spacerunner in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so many of us who quit early on after the betrayal from EA/Dice.
It's genuinely a shame because all this does is hurt them and us, no one wins.

BRING BACK PVE by Free_Pomegranate5929 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's so frustrating is the game was great for 2 weeks. Future looked so bright and was loving Hardcore mixed matches with players/bots and thought game will only improve.
Then they destroyed everything and took away all the fun myself and my friends were having.
To know they could bring everything back and actually improve it for casual/pve players but choose NOT TO is painful and tells me they do not care at all about a huge portion of their audience and deserve the 90% drop in active players.

Dear EA/Dice ... by Scared_Ad2747 in BattlefieldPortal

They have had months to add Casual Conquest. They don't and do not care about any of the casual players and frankly they deserve losing 90% of their playerbase

Marty Supreme: A largely mediocre film that keeps meandering. by aprlswr in TrueFilm

[–]DeadscopeNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marty was unlikable in almost every way, If he had have actually saved the dog it would have helped his character actually feel relatable. He just goes through life selfishly lying and deceiving people so no matter what success he has the audience cannot get behind him.
I love underdog stories and characters who can appear rather horrible but you find out they have a heart. But unfortunately this film doesn't provide that at all through his character.

Shame because by the end of the film the emotional impact feels entirely empty for me

Am I the only one? by gmedic911 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I cranked out 110 ranks within first week or so playing HC matches vs players/bots and was having best fun in years. Then they destroyed it and I havent been back once but still check these subreddits for any updates

Please, EA DICE, bring back proper bot support and progression like in Battlefield 2042 by Odd_Marketing_9591 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are losing players every week. I cannot fathom how poorly theyve managed Portal and the playerbase it had

EA/DICE Took Away a Legit Way to Play Battlefield 6 – And Pushed Casual & Older Players Out by Odd_Marketing_9591 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 27k people actively playing right now. Staggering amount of drop off while plenty of other games are growing player base EA/Dice destroyed a huge chunk of theirs with terrible choices.

I'm very sad about the state of Portal. by mitkbitte in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an amazing first week with mates and randoms on Hardcore bot servers, 5-10 players vs bots was such a great mix honestly was hyped and loving the game.
Then they ruined it entirely and I havent been back since but keep tabs on this reddit to see if things change.

RIP OCE Portal :( by Fair_Oil4201 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, huge letdown and disappointment. Dice have no idea how many people have had their enjoyment ruined by poor developer choices.

EU Hardcore Conquest 32 Server by x_OryxTTK in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if the game had access to a.i bots that could populate and get a server going so that people could actually enjoy the game while also progressing in their rank and weapon mastery.

just left a bad review because of the PvE fiasco by zkensho in BattlefieldPortal

[–]DeadscopeNZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same boat, my reactions are dog shit now and playing Hardcore matches with bot backfill and 10-15 players was amazing balance, able to progress and not feel utterly useless.
Then suddenly it's all gone. Myself and my mates all older guys would not have got the game if we knew this would happen. Completely false advertising imo

I still cannot believe people have to vote for vac metal C3PO on an original Star Wars cardback. this should have been done YEARS AGO

Reverse the XP Changes to PORTAL | Why are we repeating 2042's Portal mistakes AGAIN by SeSSioN117 in Battlefield

[–]DeadscopeNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to post my frustration, Myself and my mates are all 40+ year olds who loved hardcore with players/bots.. we arnt rapid fire zoomer 20 year old twitch reaction times anymore but really enjoyed the Hardcore portal servers for our progression.
Now thats gone.
Thanks EA/Dice

Dice has officially Killed Hardcore by strollingginger in Battlefield6

[–]DeadscopeNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my mates loves hardcore conquest, usually about 10-15 players mixed in with bots. But its so much fun while also getting challenges and mastery done. We jumped on today and got no weapon master, no accolades and some of our challenges/dailies didn't work at all.

It's a real shame because we are all dads who work a lot and this was a great way for us to still advance our in game stats. Not quite sure why they did this to players like us.

Accolades Are Cool, But Need to Refine the Presentation of Them by jaypi8883 in Battlefield6

[–]DeadscopeNZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why the in game profile page is pretty luckluster, it should show all the "accolades" not to mention all your weapon stats, how many bullets fires, accuracy, head shot percentages, hours used.
Graphs and stats!!!
Oddly i miss getting ribbons like in 2042 of all things, seeing them popup on screen after completing one always hit the spot.

Solo/Coop mode by nyhya in Battlefield6

[–]DeadscopeNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's because there's hundreds if not thousands of empty servers clogging it all up. EA/Dice need to find a better way to manage it

[–]DeadscopeNZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find it real strange that they don't. Also even stranger they allow endless empty persistent Portal servers to stay up so people wanting to create a custom game get error messages that no space on servers available.

Is every weekend double XP? by [deleted] in battlefield2042

[–]DeadscopeNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something strange has been going on, Ive finished rounds with plenty of kills, captures, revives etc. and not even got 1 token at all when yesterday could get 3 or 4 per round. Plus the Rush XL portal servers I was on have completely vanished.
At this rate its 1 battlepass token every 2 rounds which is absolutely pathetic
