RO2 Luddite levelling questions...

[Gottdammerung]

Howdie peeps,

Just a few questions concerning levelling that are bugging me..

OK, first up.. if I go into steam workshop and creaate a practice map, does the weapon and class exp gained on that map then add to my actual stats??

Secondly,

I came across this elsewhere

In the mean time try to press F3 and type "open TE-Barracks" for example.

shortcuts for the gamemodes are:
TE = territory
CD = countdown
FF = Firefight

and if you need some bots type "addbots X" where X is the number of bot you would like add.

So.. going by this, should I be able to open up a practice map then add more bots to it?? then lvl up say the MG34 pretty quickly?

I ask this as I've been attempting to get the scoped G43 up to lvl 25 for the 4x scope using empty(ish) maps.. only for other people to join in and start sniping me, using tanks, ramboing with MGs, or other general annoyances getting in the way of my target practice.. (I would've had a 1000 point (not kill alas) game this morning if some klutz hadn't decided to bring out a tank on Pavlov's House... though saying that, I'm getting quite good as an engineer as a consequence..)

Also when I've opened a practice map (all of two times so far.. in a rush before work this am) even when I said I wanted 64 bots it only gave 16.. note great for a MG levelling game really.. :/

Oh and final point. On the practice maps, does the bot level/difficulty level have any impact on the experience gained?? I presume not since i assume on bot maps the skill level can vary wildly.. especially when I've seen bots pull of impossible shots from nigh on 200 yards..

Much dankos for any thoughts, info and opinions on all of this..

and yeah, I'll preempt the "but bot farming's not real skill gaining" nonsense by saying if the game didn't have such damn long weapons class mechanism I wouldn't be doing it in the first place.. >.<

It will only level up if you play in an empty multiplayer server filled with bots. Also I think you might have fun in classic where you don't have to worry about unlocks because you have a lot of the unlocks you'd want and no one will have weapons more advanced than you. idk try it out you might have fun

Nah, I'm just actively seeking to level up my weapons for the benefits of a) getting Allied weapons when lvl 50 at the Axis equivalent, and b) the stat changes you get from experience.. My Kar98 shot is virtually as good as a sniper shot now that it's level 50 and I've managed a 200 yard+ shot without a scope on it, so the gains do seem to make a difference..

However, my thoughts above are invalid anyway as obviously only stats gained on a ranked server are retained.. as I found out.. dammit..

but for some reason I'm feeling as if stat gains are being easier to accrue these days.. has there been any change?? or am I just getting better at getting points in the game these days??

There is a 2 week xp boost though, maybe you got it.

if you want to level up fast just jump onto a countdown server you get about 16 kill points per kill.
