A possible solution for DC's

So you load into a match things are going OK and it happens... A teammate dc's. Now you are a teammate short and the whole match has changed. My solution to this problem is if a person gets disconnected or dc's the match ends (like if a killer dc's) everyone keeps their points execpt the person who dc'd and nobody wins.

    Not a fan of this, especially with tome challenges. I could have a teammate quit in a match on first down when I'm about to finish the last gen needed for a challenge but instead I wouldn't finish that gen and won't be able to move on to the next challenge.

    I have mixed feelings about this if they wanted to end the game if a survivor dcs then they need to increase the penalty time but if they make it so the game ends if a single survivor dcs and the penalty time doesnt increase then its just gonna suck

    They just need to add bots to this game to take over the character when someone D/C. the mobile version of this game has it, but I don't know why they haven't added it to the PC and console version.

    Yeah - not a fan - just because someone DCs does not mean the match is doomed. Will it be harder - depends on how well that survivor was doing before they decided to disconnect. I would rather play it out and see what happens than automatically forfeit the game.

    it would be way better if everyone automatically got a safety pip if one player disconnected. the person who dc'd gets a double depip.

    if the person crashed, idk maybe they can make it so it checks the logs to see if the person manually disconnected or was forced out of the game.

    this may not be a perfect solution but it will make dcs less punishing for others

    I am not a fan of that idea either.

    I heard and read quite often that DbD Mobile has a bot jumping in for the DC'ed player. That might be a much better idea. Could do that as well if someone kills themself on hook the first time they got hooked (like 3 free attempts + no struggle).

    In the end there won't be a nice solution for that szenario.
