Hey devs what are the dc punishment time increments

MysticAdvisor

Hey @Peanits or @not_Queen what are the dc timeout intervals like.

1-30 seconds

2 and so on-?

We currently do not want to communicate that information for two reasons.

• Numbers will most likely change in the future
• Abusing the system is a lot easier when you have all the information (this is also the reason we were not publishing threshold for DC bans before)

As someone mentioned in another thread ( I am sorry I can't find it again to quote)

It increases the more you DC.

1. Slap on the wrist
2. Slap with a ruler
3. Slap with a metal ruler
4. Slap with a wrench
5. Hammer time
6. ...
7. ...

(something like that)

I mean, someone is going to figure it out at some point soon, so not telling us is kind of futile. Do you know how cheap DBD can be at some retailers? It's easy enough to make a test steam account to do baseline testing.

Can you still get perma banned from DCs?

@The_Second_Coming I understand the point, but this was a design decision and we are rolling with it. Specifically for decay rates.

Oh, I agree with decay rates. Those should be kept private. I think most would mostly want to know the stages and time buildups per disconnect. Not because people are "planning" to disconnect, but as you guys have acknowledged, there are bugs in the game (like the basement hook bug) that give people the choice of DCing, or waiting god knows how long. So it'd be nice for those people to know more or less what they are in for.

There is some kind of algorithm to it.

It's not the same every time, something seems to affect it. Probably time in game or if SWF and such or something.

So far though it seems to be about 30 - 60 seconds for the first DC

Between than and 5 minutes or so on the second.

Then around 20 - 30 minutes for the third or fourth, or thereabouts.

I hope they regularly tweak the decay rates to prevent abusers

Thanks devs for finally bringing the penalty

Ok I understand, Thanks for replying!

Btw: A nice metal ruler for my dcing team mates head sounds nice but I need that hammer 🔨 to knock out the stupidity.👌

Thanks appreciate the new dc punishment system, I have only had 2 games today where someone dced instead of having 12.
