Disconnect penalty

From the last 10 games I have played, 3 of them have been farming killers. I really just don't want to go against a killer that refuses to hook or kill me. With the disconnect penalty, I either wait fifteen minutes for the game to end, or wait fifteen minutes for the penalty to end. I play the game to have fun, going against a farming killer isn't fun and neither is waiting in the lobby. I don't understand why this is in the game.

    You can't ######### on hook when a killer is refusing to hook you..

    That's if the killer lets you... I've had games where the farming killer was EXTREMELY obnoxious with the way they were farming. It's completely in the killer's power to drag out a farming match, depending on how your teammates react to it. You can be the only one tight about it and doing gens, and the killer will decide to torture you for not playing along. If you don't like farming, that's probably more preferable- but even then, that depends on what your teammates are doing. Sometimes they just run around spamming crouch and enjoying the farming instead of actually getting objectives done so that you can exit the match quicker.


    REGARDLESS, I 100% support a DC penalty. It sucks when you have to endure a game that you aren't enjoying, but that's how it goes sometimes. People who DC make the game worse for everyone else, more often than not.

    They probably just want their challenges.

    Right now I’m waiting like 10 mins for a game as killer and then its either gonna be swf with object of obsession or swf burning busted maps like Ormond. These are actual examples from today.

    In that case you’re damn right I’m just gonna try and get scratch off my challenge since if I dont I have to wait 10 mins for the next game, and even if I wanted to play for real its not going to be a fun game anyway when swf have tried to tilt the game even further to their advantage. If that requires letting them loop me around every pallet to make sure I get the full 180 seconds for chasing survivors then so be it.

    Its not farming and I’m not forcing them to farm but they dont want a fair game anyway so I couldnt really care less if they dont get much out of the games while I focus on the dull challenges.

    At least with the hook survivor challenges I can try to play normally. Gonna be using the top tier killers though with the best add ons since swf are bringing their favourite stuff. Survivors don’t want Spirit for example but then they try to make the game unplayable for Wraith or Trapper.

    if the killer doesn't let you do gens this is "forcing you to farm" and is reportable. step out in the settings while in match and prep the ticket for when the match ends and report him. also if that's the case start recording it and send it to the devs. otherwise do gens or crawl away and bleed out if you're left on the ground, then report the killer. it's not that hard and if they're farming they won't get as many points as they wanted because you did gens as well as what they were doing. simple and effective ways to do things, get the report in and move on with the new points you got.

    people hate farming people hate campers and tunnelers people hate people playing sweaty and genrushing......people want a normal game why is a normal game?

    That's a reportable offense. He'll get a lot more than a DC penalty for holding the game hostage for someone clearly not wanting to be there if you report him.

    Technically, if you're not on a competitive team, all of your time playing this game is "time wasted".

    I was thinking the same thing. Unless we are getting paid to play the game, or even make a living streaming games, any video game we play is "time wasted" that could be used to do many productive things with our time.
