The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Will dc become more common now because of the update?

Apparently (i dont know if its a glitch or bug) when you dc you only loses 1 pip instead of 2 now after the update, which if its meant to be there will this make dcing more common?

    I hate to say it, but this might double the DC rate. This is due to two things:

    - People DCing to lose rank intentionally need to DC twice as much for the same -2 pips.

    - People who DC after first down, etc will be less punished by DCs so they'll do it more.

    I did not know until now that you lost two pips for a DC. How 'bout that.

    Treat the cause, not the symptom. Why are people DCing? And resolve those issues for both Killers and Survivors. Both sides will continue to DC and eventually get perma-banned which is bad for the game. I'm personally seeing many DCs from both sides several times a day.

    i see many dc because of camping and tunneling and sometime cuz of the killer either lag switching or hacking. These things execept for lag switching and hackers are hard to deal with due to many just play that way even ranks 1 even though you would like a rank 1 killers doesnt need that stuff but they do which is why people dc

    this is a pretty bad change. those who dc to derank will now instead throw matches and die instantly. you lose the same amount of pips and u don't risk being banned. win-win

  • What is the reasoning (or suspected reasoning) behind changing it or was it not a purposeful change?

    Dcing is being looked at and hopefully it will be fixed with dedicated servers. Until then it is what it is as it's too hard with p2p to find the exact reason to overly punish and why they do it on percentage atm.

    I don't see it increasing dc's personally as those that dc don't care about pips anyway. Those that do it will continue until they get punished and those that don't won't.
