I legitimetly played more than 10 games and at least had 1 DC in each of them. This is a problem
Every single game I played today was a 3v1 or had someone rage DC or whatever. It is super annoying.
3v1 games should never happen and people who rage DC should have a huge penalty. It's annoying to waste addons and offerings and time with this unfun and toxic #########.

Very one sided argument. So if a person is camped and tunneled off hook, killer ensuring they get no blood points or get to enjoy the game they should give him the courtesy of a third hook. Good luck with that mentality0

It’s also fair to take away some of the killers blood points if they play like a d bag0

Yeah, it should. That's not the Killer's fault, that's the fault of the Survivor for not being good and getting hooked in the first place. I'm sorry fam, but you losing is not the Killer's fault.Gemasuda said:Very one sided argument.

Also DC is supposed to be a ban offense, so yes, you are supposed to suck it up and take your loss like sportsman and stop being a sore ######### loser. You lose more pips anyway so you really are only hurting yourself, you're kicking and screaming you didnt get your way so you throw the game out.
This is like if you were playing chess with someone and when you saw you were on the brink of losing, you just flipped the board and said yOu wErE gOnNa wIn aNywaY.
Yeah maybe, maybe not. But I can promise that person wont want to play chess with you again and neither will anyone who witnessed.
"Good luck with that mentality." Sore losers always try to take a high horse approach to downplay the fact they got bodied. No it isn't fair to take away their BP. You dont have the right to make that decision, that's the devs, who say quitting is bannable. Essentially, you're cheating.
Hope you get what's coming to you eventually17 -
It's ok.
A lot of "children" play this game, complete with the implied mentality and sense of entitlement.6 -
It’s very apparent that reading comprehension isn’t your forte. If you are hooked once and then camped off hook that makes you a sore loser? Stop being so killer sided and look at it from the other side of the fence. The devs reduced points awarded by camping because it was such an issue. The point of this post is people rage quitting. I’m merely saying the style of play by the killer influence the frequency of disconnects. If you can’t wrap your “adult” brain around that then we are done talking.1

You guys aren't seeing the big picture. Considering how huge the DC problem got, there is clearly something wrong with the game, not with the players.My money is on the ranking system. Balance wise it seems okish. I'd just nerf nurse and billy.Very rarerly it happens that I get good teammates at rank 1 vs a good killer and it ends up in a 1-2k fun game. Usually I die or get the hatch, cause of bad teammates.Suggesting to add harsher bans is ridiculous at this stage. They'll have to ban like half the playerbase. What they need to do is fix the ranking system (make it how you do in a chase count like 80% towards pip), rank hacking and boosting and after that see what balance issues they have.4

Not really, the game itself is not the issue, people will abuse and do anything they want and do more and more of it as long as they are allowed to do just that.. As for nerfing nurse and billy....really now?

In no way was them lowering the points for camping meant to stop camping...
Survivors half the time are d/cing just after being downed once now, if your adult brain can't wrap around the fact it is not hardly just about camping and tunneling then there's no reason for you to be speaking about the issue...

Ofc the game is the issue when almost every game someone rage quits. People rage quit when they are on a losing streak for whatever reason, and they had enough. Almost every game someone rage quits, how is that not an issue with a game? Sure this happened before, but not like now. I play for 3 years and never seen it like this. What do you think banning people will solve? They will just move to another game, simple as that. They need to look into the reason why people are dc'ing and fix that. Billy maybe not, I'll give you that, but nurse, she sure needs a nerf. They buffed her when they fixed blinking up and down too much.

Standard, garden variety DCs I can live with, but these idiots that DC and cause the game to crash. Yeah, not so much. I'm a reasonable person, if I'm a killer and there is a DC I'll farm a little if I'm not in a hurry. If I am a survivor and we get no gens done and folks start dropping like flies I'll turn myself in. However, I can't do either of those things if I crash. I say, fix the crashing now, then the DCing later.

Not really,
The Nurse is the only killer in the game that can give a killer control which they should have anyway it's the power role the 1 vs the 4.
EVERY other killer simply capitalises on the mistakes of survivors.
A good team will have the gens done and be out the door in 1-2 hooks, if you can even find them in the first place.
And EVERY game that has ragequitters out there has to fix it?
Fortnite has ragequitters, Overwatch, CoD, DbD, LoL you name it has ragequitters.
And it's easy to say "X is OP plz nerf" Y needs changing Z is not fun.
You won't please everyone but you can sure make it better for those of us that don't wanna be a baby quitter every game by banning these people.

Also as killer when they dc it doesn’t hurt me at all. In fact you save me the trouble to down and hook you 2 more times. The only damage here is to your teammates. They get a disadvantage start because you “don’t have fun”.1 -

People would DC in any other competitive game too if things were like in DBD.
And no, this has nothing to do with the ranking or matchmakign system which are both broken AF.
Its simply the fact that there is NO punishment for DCing, you can literally do it 20 times a day and still walk away if you just play enough other games0 -
Not on this scale. This is an epidemic and makes the game unplayable. They need to change something and bans is not the solution, they need to find out why people DC and fix the core of the problem. Bans are just a palliative.

There is a DC at least 1 of 3 of my games regardless of the role I am playing. It seems worst than it ever was before the banning started.

some of this is due to patch problems. I dc a ton on consoles just because they haven't actually fixed 2.4 patch still.

I’m a killer player and a survivor player. As killer if I see a DC or load into a 3v1 game. I will make it my goal to get the survivors out of the game ASAP so they can play a good game. Which basically means playing normally. As survivor I will also play to get out of the game ASAP which will either result in doing gens quickly or running straight to the killer depending on how badly we are doing.1

So in that case, it's not up to the survivors to make it fun for the killer. So let's all D/C because we only live for ourselves and nobody else 👌🏼Orion said:@Gemasuda said:

Also, my input:
I get one or two disconnects every match without fail, for sure. It isn't rare to get three.

Same, every game there's a rage quit. It's pathetic and is ruining the game, I play solo survivor every day other than Saturday, but it's gotten to the point now where I'm probably just going to wait for my friend to come on as I can't seem to rely on randoms not to disconnect as soon as they get downed.

Au contraire, mon ami. It absolutely is. Most people just play for fun and if the killer player denies the other side their part completey, what point is there in finishing a round ?
Try entering a bar and asking 4 strangers for a round of pool billard. Never hand them the queue or the white ball. If you are lucky, they will just walk away. If not you might need a good dentist.

Here's an analogous situation to my statement, since yours is more akin to lobby dodging (albeit barely):
Play football against a much better team who scores goals in ways you don't know how to counter because you've never developed the skills necessary to counter the strategies they're using, and then complain that it's not fair if they don't let you score goals as well.Survivors do not end up on the hook spontaneously. Killers had to find them and win the chase before they could be hooked. If someone was hooked, then they failed at stealth and lost the chase.

No matter what this number actually is.
Fact that jendenise who regularly DCed to derank in order to hover at certain ranks has still not been banned.
Thats just ridiculous

As for hook farming, devs should prevent that.0 -
The frequent DCs and fairly common games that load with less than 4 survivors is part of why i've barely played this game recently.

40% or not, you aren't allowed to tell us truth since you aren't suppose to tell us about DC %! Nevertheless, the ban % needs to be decreased but with a shorter ban duration.Peanits said:

I had 2 games today where 2 people disconnected and one game where 3 survivors disconnected becase the killer had a mori in the loading screen. Pathetic. This should be punished way more. When I play killer and survivors disconnect I lose all my items and its boring to just have a 2vs1 game...

i played 15 games now and in every single game except 1 someone disconnected because he got downed or slugged or whatelse. when will this thing be punished? i mean like real punish?
0 -
They know how ridiculous the situation is, that's why nothing's gonna happen.
Let's be realistic here, if they punished people for DC at least half the Survivors playerbase would get punished on a regular basis.
Result? Shitstorms & review bombing.
They are afraid of it, simply put. They're afraid to trigger the majority of the playerbase. That's also why they'll never touch SWF.

DC'ing is bad. Just don't do it.

I have always said that DC should not be bannable. Instead, every single perk you have bought with that character should be deranked by 1(or lost entirely if it was already level 1) and in order to get them again, you have to find them in the bloodweb all over again. EVERY single time you DC. However, I also am aware bugs exist, so you should be allowed 1 free DC every 24 hours.FairyFox said:@Raccoon said:
