So i'm completing a tome challenge where i need to kill survivors by any means thing is i get two DCs and that doesn't count as a kill if the killer DCs it's an escape if a survivor DCs it should be a kill because you made them rage quit.

    Nope. Stop playing so selfish and people don’t dc. Everyone wants to have fun, it’s not just about getting a 4K.

    LOL.

    "Stop being selfish and trying to kill everyone". Funny stuff.

    I am playing nemesis, and in two game someone DC'd because they got killed by a zombie, and in another so the Swf teammate could get hatch. No penalty and they are onto the next game.

    Right now the game is incredibly broken with the dc penalty off plus the numerous other survivor sides bugs. And yet you whine because the 1 killer (versus 4) doesn't stop to see how the survivors feel? I bet you probably think it's okay to flashlight blind a killer 10x in a game tho.

    I play like a saint - I don't camp unless someone leads me back to the hook, I don't tunnel and actively avoid the unhooked player, I only slug when I'm planning to leave the survivor there for someone to pick up or if a nearby would-be savior forces me to do it, and most of the time, I don't kill anyone and let everyone walk out after I've had my fun playing tag with them. Most of the kills I get are from survivors suiciding on hook or failing to be rescued, because usually I just swat people on death hook around.

    Survivors still DC on me all the time. Get downed before a gen is done? DC. Think that window hit was bullshit? DC. Get downed on death hook and want to spit in the killer's face after a long game of ineffectually taunting them and failing to pull off clever techs? DC. The other day I got Adept Nemesis after a long and fair game and two of the survivors DCed right before I was about to hook them for the final time; wouldn't have gotten the achievement because of their shenanigans denying me iri Devout if I wasn't fresh out of rank reset. Today I had a survivor DC 5 seconds into the game. The only explanation I have is that they spawned in next to one of my fountains and went 'oh hell naw.'

    People DC for everything under the sun. It can be related to the killer being an asshat, but ultimately it's the choice of the DCer and reflects more on their temperament than the killer's. I've never deliberately DCed; that doesn't mean I haven't gone up against some obnoxiously scummy killers.

    I'm of the mind that DCs should count as kills if the survivor was downed or in chase when the survivor DCed. Otherwise, they shouldn't count. That way, survivors can't screw the killer out of points, challenges, and achievements by spite-quitting when they're about to die, but the killer doesn't get a 4k because steam just refreshed its servers mid-match.

    For me i don't camp unless i see a survivor trying to get them off hook so i stand near the hook for a grab i usually get a hit

    And for the tunneling thing I don't mean to tunnel but i'll not tunnel if their just off hook or on death hook but my last game a Leon was going the easy way out killing himself on hook but someone saved him and i was walking around and hit him (Survivors are scary) because you came around the corner and well Survivor on death hook isn't the first thing in mind it's more oh Survivor okay so does it still count as Tunneling.

    Why did they disable the DC penalty? I still saw occasional DCs before they disabled it, but it’s definitely way worse now that there are no consequences for a DC other than losing a few BP

    Hopefully DC Penalties will be turned back on with the anniversary update next week. It really shows when it’s turned off just how bad the experience is for everyone.

    It's not enough that EGC gives you free kills? The DC penalty being off is temporary. Calm down.

    If survivors are sticking around for 2-4 minutes and die to the entity, that's entirely their fault. Considering that survivors don't even have to open the exit gates immediately and start EGC either.
