Survivor Punishment Patch
Let's call it that, because we all know that's exactly what it is.
So I get target tunneled out of a match before I can do more than get myself oriented on the map and I get a warning for suspicious behavior?
Is BHVR trying to kill DBD?

This is what I was afraid of. But I was told "oh wait and see, we don't know how it will work"

And this is why the devs reasoning of not testing it in the ptb was stupid. Absolutely everyone saw this coming, but they refused to test it because there's no dc penalty in the ptb. It's almost like the ptb is there to test these things so if they're heavily broken like this… they can be brought back to the kitchen to cook prior to them hitting live servers or just straight up removed. Like the Artist add-ons. What good is a Quality of Life feature that punishes people for not doing the thing they're being accused of doing. It better be removed with the next hotfix and fixed before coming back. I'd rather have someone give up in a match I'm in then risk being punished for something outside my control.

perfectly flawless system
and yes they are trying to kill the game, the fact we are going a in circle from nerf perks that dominated to years to making more perks that are dominating again ( dramaturgy, shoulder the burden, finess, ressurance) along with adding a system that punishes you for playing safely as survivor , and with the upcoming changes removing strategies that work against swf, i think we are about to have another circle of healing, and i don't think its gonna recover this time….

Yes, they were not lenient enough with the system. Especially because it was a QoL-Update (without the Quality…) and probably aimed towards better new player experience. Guess what, a new player dies faster and a new player is more likely to miss Skill Checks on the Hook and therefore getting a penalty.
Just imagine you are new at the game and after your first game or so where you had no idea what you are doing and die on the Hook in second stage, since you are not used to Skill Checks yet, you get a DC-Penalty. This person will likely refund the game on the spot.
They should have been way more lenient with the system. It is better to not punish someone who wants to go next instead of punishing people who did nothing wrong.

I'm honestly starting to think this was one of the reasons as to why we didn't get a survivor for FNAF. Could you imagine the amount of people getting banned for trying out Michael Afton, while also having under 4 hours in the game? If all the new players are on killer, they don't get penalized. Tin foil hat theory for sure, but stranger things have happened.

It really does feel like an update aimed at prematurely penalising survivors. I can understand that there's enough bad apples that changes need to be made, but it doesn't feel like they've thought this through at all. Yet another update that feels completely out of touch with the average player. I'm having to take a break because survivor feels punishing, yet I'm sat in queue for killer for 10-15 min. I'll play when things settle down.
It will be interesting to see how many new players they retain from all this. This feels like a terrible chapter choice to test these new changes on, but maybe that's just me.

Well, I expect this isn't going to end well for me but here we go.
Welcome to the community and DbD new players! Where the biggest reason for this company's success is off the back of Halloween chapter. Only to "rework" Myers to be a bigger joke now than before. I play 50/50 of the roles in this game and been around since introduction of The Nurse. If you are playing Survivor role like I am right now, well congratulations on being punished for just trying to play or learn the game. Get tunnelled out of the game right away before getting a chance to do anything and get slapped with a DC penalty for no reason. Running across map to unhook teammates causes the AFK crows to go off so the Killer knows go back to the hook beforehand. The entire DbD community saw this train wreck coming miles away. Look at this latest DLC drop. P2W skins, unfriendly/useless tutorials for beginners, more glitches and bugs than the released chapter of the Twins, untested/unnecessary changes to perks and addons, and silencing the criticism from the community as well. The list seems bottomless and the DbD content creators/streamers are not speaking up against the company on its scummy business practices; but instead, are advertising like everything is going well while abusing the exploits in the game. Just you watch after a month goes by, and all the money that could be squeezed out of this gaming community from veterans and newbies. This newest addition to the Killer roster will get heavily nerfed into the ground. So the old META of Nurse, Blight, and Billy can go back to normal. This vicious repeating cycle has got to end and frankly the community needs to just boycott this game or leave altogether. 😤🤬

It's supposed to be a casual party game. These aggressive crows are the opposite of that. If survivors don't play according to some narrow set of guidelines, they get crows.
Do I wish my teammates would spend more time on gens? Yes, always. Do I think it's my place to tell someone who enjoys going for flashlight saves or totem hunting to stop having fun and get back on those gens? No. I've had matches where a single flashlight save is the difference between an early lost match and 3+ escapes. I've had matches where the totem hunter saved our asses from NOED. Those players aren't useless. Do they probably cause more losses than wins? I wouldn't know, but isn't part of DbD chasing those really amazing unicorn moments? That dopamine rush when the stars align and you manage to pull off a really cool thing? Are those matches where everyone is always on a gen and no one does anything crazy the ones that get talked about or posted online for all to envy?
These crows are not fun. These crows kill a large part of the charm of DbD.
What I wanted was two things. First, for BHVR to fix matchmaking so people who participate stop getting teamed up with people who don't. Second, fix the escape rewards so that instead of 9.5k BP for an unearned hatch escape, the escape score event is based on the player's emblem scores: a player with three barren participation emblems should be rewarded nothing for doing nothing. Aggressive crows are always going to catch innocent players in the crossfire, there's no way to program them to not screw over survivors. I'm someone who understands that no one big thing is going to be a complete solution, most problems require small steps that add up, but these crows are not a good step.

It's funny how I haven't bought anything from DBD (no skins, no DLCs) for over a year, precisely because of this kind of thing, and I play less and less.

So, The Entity has decided to torture survivors by imitating an Amazon warehouse? Any lack of efficiency results in a warning, followed by punishment 🤣

To add to this " to stop the slugging at the 3nd for the end mori we added that they can mori on second hook on the third survivor" .....except now the slugging is even worse they wil lslug the whole team now! Just to make sure cause they know no one in solo que is gonna risk their ######### hide when they can be caught wnd moried while.trying to save a team mate off hook. Oh wait can't wait for Hatch either cause ######### crows. Tunneling is 10× worse nowm slugging even higher.
Undo the go next preventing. Let them see the killer. ( not the user name. But let us at least see what killer we are against period.) Let us see each others map offerings ( this ######### over solo ques especially cross play be ause they can't see chat ) also to this one.
Behavior you have ######### bots.for a reason. Use them stop punishing people.wbo want.to leave a match! Stop punishing for.somthjng you have a bot.in place for! Seriously. Does it suck when they leave simply for a bad liopp? Yes but there is a boy. Stop punishing for.dcs no one should be kept in a match they don't want to be in cause their not having fun.
PPut The crows back the way thwy were except keep the collusion blocker on. Where it takes colussiin off the third crow
Get rid of the end mori! There is a #########.offering for this. They should have to work for their moris
There you solve the go next/the afk/and the end game slugging(mostly) right there.

I haven't seen a single survivor with crows in all the hours I've played since the patch, neither as a survivor nor as killer.
