Disconnecting it's a big problem now

When we will have a real punishment for DC? Like a 10 min wait to join a lobby again? Dc's are a serious issue since the Plague patch and the rank system change. The amount of people disconnecting is ridiculous. Every single match I have as surv or killer 1 or 2 ppl disconnects. I can't get the 2 pips when someones does it as killer. And even worst, they can recover the 2 pips they lose every time if they restart the game. BHVR, mods, please ffs, Reddit isn't the only source of feedback. Listen your players; Fix the dc issue and the sounds problem!!

    Absolutely!

    And the best solution rather than a temporary ban, is giving them the opposite of their intent by disconnecting.

    IDK what is the current penalty for it; but losing a whole rank for willingly disconnecting sounds promising.

    10 minutes is too low, it should be half an hour minimum. Maybe even 1 hour

    If you have a legitimate reason to disconnect (for example something being on fire) then that situation is unlikely to be resolved in an hour anyway

    You know what to do survivors! Just stop playing so queue for killers would take FOREVER and they will be forced to play survivors and when game started - DISCONECT BCZ... THE GAME IS "DID A PRETY GOOD JOB SO FAR"

    I agree the disconnect is getting out of hand and now I’m seeing more killers dc like I’m a survivor main so I’m used to having other survivors dc but recently so many killers are dcing now and honestly the new rank system is a mess for both survivors and killers it feels impossible to even get two pips now unless you’re like farming I don’t think the dc problem will stop untill they actually reward players for what rank they are and also having a greater punishment for dcing they will probably never do any type of ban for dcing but like you said I don’t understand why there isn’t a timer for joining a new game like for 24 hours if you dc once you have to wait a 2 minutes to join a game if you disconnect again you have to wait 15 mins and if you dc again it’s longer and longer

    Being at high ranks is a negative (among other things, because of longer wait times to fill a lobby) so that would encourage disconnects, a lot

    The only sensible punishment are bans

    The ban times should not ramp up, you should not disconnect multiple times

    The ban time should just be whatever you think the maximum should be, for example 1 hour, every time you disconnect, even the first time

    I don’t think that would be fair though like some situations a dc isn’t just someone being salty like if you have to restart you’re game, if you entered a game that’s so laggy you can’t even play, it you’re playing with a friend and they lost connection so you want to leave etc etc I don’t think every dc is a bad thing which is why there is an option to do it in the first place and I don’t think someone should be punished for an hour if you want to dc because you want to leave for example a really laggy unplayable game

    > like if you have to restart you’re game

    Freezing loading screens are the only situation I know of where you have to restart your game and that doesn't count as a disconnect

    >if you entered a game that’s so laggy you can’t even play

    Ping indicators exist, dedicated servers are coming

    >it you’re playing with a friend and they lost connection so you want to leave

    This is exactly the kind of situation you should be banned for, automatically and then also manually later after you hopefully get reported for your bullshit.

    i seem to have survivors DC every other match if they're simply outplayed, it's getting ridiculous

  • moonlunn
    moonlunn Member Posts: 170

    That’s not all true though there’s been times where I get disconnected and it acts like I actually manually disconnected and ping is a while other thing not everyone knows what that is also I’ve had my ping be fine and the game be fine for a awhile and then all of a sudden it starts lagging and I don’t think that’s something you should be banned for? If you want to play with you’re friend and you leave like right as the game starts how is that bannable? The game allows playing with friends and the game is the reason why the one friend disconnected. What I’m saying is that there is an option to leave the game for a reason just like basically every game has that option the only reason why it’s such a problem for dbd is because it’s not easy to solve like a game for example overwatch where if someone leaves they just fill the game with someone who’s been waiting in match making awhile in dbd you couldn’t really do something like that.

    @yeet Ah, interesting. I didn't think you'd have this opinion of survivors dc'ing.

  • NoShinyPony
    NoShinyPony Member Posts: 4,570

    @Kanzaki Exactly. Some players would always dc, simply because they can't accept a defeat. It's this way with other video games as well. That's why we need punishments.

    However, punishments would be a bit tricky at the moment. There a lot of incidents where players don't dc on purpose. You can't punish players for the game being buggy.

    So yes, punishments are important, but the issues with freezing/crashing need to be solved first.

    It's the opposite. When the game gets boring, I dc.

    Maybe just 30 min, 1 hour is too much imo. But we really need that, I don't want more matches lost or points 'cause someone dc'ed

    Yea this is getting way out of hand. There neends to be some sort of punishment. How about a punishment that gives players a temporary ban of like an hour or min and after that expires they find out that all of there addons are gone.

    DC'ing is so standard these days.. I got slugged by a Billy today, and in the aftergame chat he told me I could've just DC'd if I don't like to get slugged forever. i was like.. #########? People DC over every stupid situation and now the killers even tell you to simply DC if you don't feel like getting slugged/camped/whatever.

    Gotta tell them killers now to just DC if they don't like to get looped or genrushed.

    Cause DC'ing even more is definitely gonna make everything better in this game.. logics.
