Why is DC'ing looked down upon?

It is literally the most healthiest way to leave when you aren't having a good time with the game.

I don't think the devs for this game are aware/or see that and probably nor does 50% or 80% of the players that play this game.

"If the game is not fun, then why bother?" Such common sense!

    I agree but if your getting facecamped or tunneled I don't blame you tbh if facecamping is allowed u should be able to dc its a viable thing for someone holding you hostage.

    I mean but literally its a strategy why should you be entitled to staying anyway if anything they should implement a give up option or something its a problem they are holding you hostage. Survivor have to do leaps and flips to get bloodpoints anyway if anything you'd barely get anything.

    The game started taking itself a lot more seriously. When it was peer to peer you could load into a game with less than 4 survivors and it would just auto complete a gen. (If 3 survivors loaded in, you'd only need to repair 4 gens etc.)

    You could load in alone and only need to repair 2 gens. No end game collapse. Killer couldn't close the hatch. Killer may also have whispers. Top notch fun!

    well the statements your saying still dont make sense dcing is faster than 20 seconds so what i'm saying is valid no reason to give extra pints to a tunneler or facecamper. It's not selfish because your gonna die anyway might as well not waste your time or anyone else's and not let a killer get the points for sacrificing you instead they get the dcing points. From the way your talking sounds like you practice camping but thats okay not everyone has to go through the frustrating experience of having to watch that infront of their face. -Be better

    I think if your being facecamped its valid tho many times if your being facecamped your teammates will waste unnecessary time trying to rescue you. Also it could ruin your whole day just staying there bing facecamped. After all it is a valid strategy so all in all its not selfish if your being tunneled or facecamped the whole time especially if your not even being a toxic survivor that's my take on it. its like someone staying in a toxic relationship if you had a choice you would choose to leave. If a ######### is bullying you would leave its that simple no reason to stay around and get a headache or get angered because of it.

    The thing your not understanding is that unless your playing a swf it doesn't matter why should I help everyone else when I just keep running into the same camper everyone defends it like another survivor is going to help you. All that happens is that you go down a rank. I'm not gonna sit by and reward toxic gameplay if your gonna tunnel me then ill disconnect even the mods defend it meaning that as a survivor you go through an already ######### experience for teammates that probably dont even gaf. What benefits do you get from staying a rank down and barely any points at all because survivors have to do flips and tumbles to even get a good amount of points. No amounts of sorrys are gonna fix that and its a shame that people even resort to that the only pints they really get are disconnect points and its not a big amount so its a win for them then either way survivors don't have the upper hand tbh. A facecamp just makes it obvious its time to leave,

    But we got punished any way, cuz no blood points, no challenge count, nothing even depipe and still got ban is stupid!!! U say about ruin fun but what else I can do when killer just slug down all survs as soon as they got picked got slug again is it fun???

    I'm on the fence about it. The only reason people ever give is "because you ruin the game for others." But these same people are the ones who come at you with "your fun isn't my responsibility."

    Like what??

    Did you read my post at all? Read the post first maybe?

    Ok so did my post talk about random dcing because it seems that's what you were talking about.I dont dc on first down but facecamping is the limit for me a facecamper. My question is what you were talking about had nothing to do with what I said. Thats why im saying this. If someone randomly dcs I would be mad but I would understand you dcing if the killer was constantly tunneling you. I have seen survivor get tunneled and dc and its ok if they did.

  • HarlowXRaven
    HarlowXRaven Member Posts: 191

    I shouldn't be punished for dcing anyway the creators actively encourage tunneling and facecamping as a strategy. Then the people who facecamp are the same ones getting mad at ppl for running ds but if you play nicely your still camped and tunneled honestly killer are toxic asf. The same ones say your fun is not my responsibility and play like a #########. All ima say is that Dcing is valid if someone is tunneling u can dcing or facecamping u can dc bc in the end u barely get bloodpoints anyway. You might as well play killer and get bloodpoints for doing nothing.

  • HarlowXRaven
    HarlowXRaven Member Posts: 191

    Wait who are you to determine the conditions and whose opinion and feelings are valid or not. If it is causing someone extreme distress they should leave should they not? I shouldn't have to stay and get a headache because an entitled person decides what I should do. If its causing emotional tension I should be able to leave no problem. There should be an optional thing besides dcing to leave the game but if not then dcing is it.

    I mean, not really. When you DC it makes that person feel better. Just stating facts here mate, but if you want to make it worse for others, be my guest.

    i even said he latter instance is iffy because anyone can CLAIM x or y but not be truthful. I just said those are the reasons that are acceptable for a dc. I did not say anything more, if you can prove your phobia causes intense distress to the point of your life is in danger then that is one thing i would accept, but just because you are upset you are being slugged, camped, tunneled, this is not acceptable as the rules have not been broken. fine, if you want disconnects to be allowed then the killer is awarded all remaining hook points, all remaining chase points and every point you could have given them in the game. oh wait then the killer would make iri emblems and it'd be unfair!!! so what will you do to make up for the fact you broke the game rules? what is the penalty for cheating in soccer, wrestling, basketball or any other game out there? oh yea hefty fines and potential removal from the game or even for good. so i hope you see that a 5 minute penalty is soft in comparison even when what you did will cause people to derank intentionally.

    those are sports? Im tryna ask what is your point im saying that your invalidating the fact that its valid to dc if your being tunneled are facecamped especially if you are in a solo queue. So that my point in this. sports has nothing to do with it. Your fun is not my responsibility many killers say that well I am am also saying that many teammates sit around the hook to for no reason instead of working on gens so after all it is to the killers benefit. With that goes the fact that as a solo player you get no benefit at all and your barely getting any blood points also if you get tunneled early in the game you'll depip so dcing can prevent that also. Why should I suffer because someone wants to tunnel? Face Camping while I depip definitely not.

    As survivor because you ######### over the rest of your team.

    As killer idk, I guess it makes survivors mad because they have to wait in queue again for 10+ min.

    See this right here proved my point with six word you literally just proved it. You just repeated my statement.

  • HarlowXRaven

    Yes to prove my point. Unless you didn't read what I said.

  • GamerGirlFeng
    GamerGirlFeng Member Posts: 277

    You're the very person they're talking about when they say that people say "your fun is not my responsibility."

    Okay, my fun is not your responsibility. Got it, killers.

    But why does yours have to be mine? If my leaving ruins your game, too bad, right?

    This is the real selfishness right here. Hypocrisy at its finest.

  • GamerGirlFeng
    GamerGirlFeng Member Posts: 277

    This entire thread is full of hypocrisy.

    To sum it up all I'm reading is:

    "Let me make sure you have a complete miserable game. Your fun isn't my responsibility! ... oh no! You DCd because of it? You ruined my entire game now! You're absolute scum of the earth for ruining my fun!"

  • Friendly117

    In my opinion, I think they should remove the DC penalty and refined it instead of putting a blanket and solving 1 issue which is just a DC when they don't know what causes it. The Devs aren't smart, I'll tell you that.

    Now, last night, I had the worst day of dbd in my life. I had one game where I was left slugged on the ground for the entire match because the killer only came for me and when every time they came to pick me up, someone was around so I was left on the ground longer. I was so tempted to dc because I wasn't having fun, but I didn't... surprisingly.

    The game isn't balanceable to tell the truth, unless they try something so smart, like, hm, oh I don't know, ban certain perks for killers? They did in Rainbow Six Siege. (For those that don't understand where I'm going with this, I'll explain)

    Rainbow Six Siege: 5v5 competitive game. One team attacks one spot of the map where the other team defends. Some or more from the defending team used to use an MP5 or an MP7 with an ACOG scope which was basically a sniper scope. They would set their fire rate to one bullet and wait to see which side the attackers spawn. Once they knew, bam, headshot, spawn kill. Ubisoft had to ban it with certain characters that welded a MP7/MP5 with an ACOG by removing the sight completely from them.

    This is why I believe dbd should do that to some killers. Its very simple and it adds balancing to the game. I can't describe how many games I've had where killers abuse the perk mechanics to their advantage and make the game super unfun.

    But for now, until they do something with killers to stop being so toxic and unfun, I'm dc'ing when the game is going nowhere and just outright boringly unfun.

  • Friendly117
    Friendly117 Member Posts: 32

    Exactly, thank you.


    The only people who are forcing to stay is the devs themselves because from what someone said, they added that you can't dc in the "terms of conditions agreement". Like... thats kind of a yikes to me.

  • burt0r
    burt0r Member Posts: 4,160

    What do you mean by "refine it". I play r6s myself and the comparison between those to falls short in my eyes since you can't compare 1vs4 against 5vs5. Balancing in the latter is easy in comparison.

    Additionally, rainbow has a world's better matchmaking or rather dbd does not really have one right now and maybe never truly will. Ranks mean nothing by now but time invested in the game rather than skill.

    Oh, and which killer perks are included in your proposed ban, just out of curiosity?

  • keygun
    keygun Member Posts: 311

    You [not you personally, but the dc] can wait 4 minute bleed out, egc, or ######### on first hook.

    I understand that these tactics aren't fun, but you have plenty of outs, all of them will hurt you and your team.

    I see people dc right before last hook, which means your motives for dcing to "hurt the killers bp" is a selfish motive.

    Worst part is that it doesn't hurt the killer, because the killer considers it funny.

    The worst way to hurt a camper, stay ON the hook as long as possible.

    Imagine playing a board game and halfway through sombody rolls bad on a dice and just stand up and leaves.

    That's what DCing is. It ruins the game for everyone else who agreed to play it.

    And i don't know about you but if a person did that in my boardgame session 2-3 times he just wouldn't be invited anymore

  • GamerGirlFeng
    GamerGirlFeng Member Posts: 277

    If you're stuck slugged til bleedout or hanging on hook full time, you're useless to the team anyway. Sure, you might buy them time, but in reality how often do people stay on gens and pump them out while you're stuck in miserable situations?

    I've stuck around in games where I desperately wanted to DC and didn't.. and the more I think about it, the more I realize that all of those times it wouldn't have made a difference either way.

    So it's just a 4 minute wait... that's sometimes best case scenario in these situations. You know what would be better? Leaving and moving on to a trial where we can enjoy playing the game we payed money for. Not slug simulator.

  • keygun
    keygun Member Posts: 311

    I understand completely, but what really is 4 minutes? It takes at least 5 to cook rice.

    In that scenario, where you have to wait to die, just watch a couple vids on YouTube, grab a snack, use the bathroom.

    That way, you won't see the penalty, you'll have a nice breather, and the game will be over before your YouTube video.

    I want to dc as killer alot, and that's worse because I can't force survivors you finish gens. I'll chase a bit, hit here or there, but if I'm getting outplayed hard and it's no fun, I'll just grab a cup o joe, watch a bit of YouTube, and eventually the game is done and I can move on without penalty.

  • ALostPuppy
    ALostPuppy Member Posts: 3,398

    Well you are able to DC in any match you want, but you'll get a penalty for it. If you want out of a match it's better to get hooked and wiggle yourself down to stage 3. It doesn't take THAT much longer, and if you're being facecamped chances are you'll be doing that anyway.

    As a side note, I'd advise to not take yourself out right away if you're being facecamped so you can let your teammates do gens. But if you look around and see nobody doing gens you may as well get it over with, because your 2 minutes of sitting there on hook will accomplish nothing for your team.

    Also run kindred.

  • keygun

    This is what I'm seeing...

    I want to dc because the killer is playing dirty [camp/ tunnel/ slug]

    Why can't I leave if I'm not having fun?

    Not to sound rude, but you can.

    Just dc, but you already know it comes with a penalty that gets worse the more you dc.

    You'll keep dcing until you can't play for days [so I've seen from other posts]

    You claim you're not having fun, then play killer, or play something else.

    Or... take a breath, grab a soda and snacks, watch a video or scroll the forums...

    Eventually the match will end, and you can start again without penalty.

    De-pip? Doesn't matter, mmr is off.

    Less bp? That's cool, the bp pool is endless and if you really wanted bp you'd be playing killer.

    You still get exp/ shards. No problem there.

    The only problem y'all have is with the penalty itself, which can be avoided by NOT disconnecting.

    I'm not condoning a dc or afk, but you are in control of your own game.

    I can't force you to stay any more than you can control the killers camp. Just know that real life has consequences, and so does dcing. So, don't dc, unless you want the penalty.
