There is a banner at the top of the screen stating that they are looking into the excessive rank loss. It should get fixed soon. But if this is the straw that broke the camel's back for you then peace out.

Become a killer so you can control survivors experience more and have fun.

This is sadly an online-game. Doesn't matter if you play survivor or killer, the "toxicity" is always there. But to stop annoying dc-ers for both killers and survivors, i think DC Penalty is a great thing imo.

It's ok. I'm sure the penalties will be amended or reverted once it hurts their bottom line. All this penalty system has done is bring all the issues in the game to the forefront. Bugs, crashes, server issues, balance issues, unfun items/offerings/add ons.
It's almost like the disconnects were a symptom of a larger issue.

If done by a percentage of games it would make more sense, although still be mostly ineffective. A player can easily suicide on hook, leaving their team in a bad spot. The more often this is done, the more likely the killer is to slug, which makes the game less fun for everyone.

"....or DC".
No. DC isnt an option. It's a childish ragequit. You being mad about not being able to do it shows what we need to know.

Except people are still DCing in matches after the penalties. It's currently designed to punish people who play a lot, not people who DC most of their matches.

If they DC most of their matches, they will be banned longer. Not a hard concept.
5 -
If they play casually, the penalties aren't severe enough. If they play a lot, the penalties are too severe. Do it based on a percentage of games and everyone's happy.

So a dc right of the bat is better in your eyes? Don't get me wrong, i get what you are saying, but these people would have DC'D anyway in the end but were forced to go another way around it because of the penalty. Now they atleast waste time for the killer, at the same time as the killer can get awarded more points for actually hooking and sacrificing the survivor.

I'm advocating you do penalize DCers, just based on percentages, not instances in a 24h period. I don't see why players who play 10 hours and crash a few times are penalized as harshly as someone who DC's half of their total games. It's a crazy policy.

Ruin nerf caused killers to play more aggressive. Because they have to.
It's not toxic because you don't like the play style.

I haven't checked but hopefully it reset me back to rank 20 when I get home.

This here is an entitled survivor.
Wants killers to play how he wants them to play, if they dont he dc's. No tunneling, no camping and whatever you do dont mori him. Play to his rules.
Bye

Entitled for expressing the overwhelming issues in the game? The use of Tunneling, Camping and Mori'ing have increased 10 fold since the Ruin Rework and now that killers know survivors are being penalized for it, it seems to happen literally every game now. it's sucking the fun out of the game completely. And i'm talking about Survivors as a whole.. not just me. Almost every single game I see the same issue, 1 survivor gets tunneled immediately and ends up with 5k or less points, never getting to touch a gen.
Or the best are the Iri Head/Ebony Mori Huntress that run Corrupt and kill 1-2 survs off before 1 gen even gets done.

You don't have to. I don't play any different than before.
When you're good at killer you don't need to try and take the cheapest way out and can adapt to many situations 😎

Bye, have a great time!
Today was the first time in ever that I DC because the game crashed not connecting to their servers during the match (after the penalties). I think I had this problem like 3 times in more than 800h of game, but you still will hear ppl marching for the banner "no penalty" bc the game crashes too much.
I waited 5 minutes and then after playing games normally the timer disappears. You dont even have to wait a day for the punishment to recind.
DC or suiciding on the hook is the worst thing you can do for your team. It doesnt matter if the killer slugs or not, if you are still in the game there is a chance to win or escape. By wiggling, by finding hatch, by using unbreakable, DS, etc. Even if you are only on the ground you are helping more your teamates than Dcing.

I can't rage quit in a match so I'm rage quitting the game. You do realize this is what people who want the DC ban want right?

uhhh survivors control the game not killers lol

Sorry, I've dealt with this games bugs and imbalance issues from 2016-present, and I can honestly say we're actually having it "Good" now. If you're gonna whine, and threaten to quit over how "bad" you feel the game is now, then I can't help but laugh at your ignorance considering this games horrifically imbalanced history.
Background: I've always played and enjoyed DbD casually, but for the first 1000 hours I chose to take the more difficult role... Killer. Its funny how it took me so long from November 2016 to July 2019 to accrue that many hours in the Killer role (I had a job, and it was my priority until recently), at which point I decided to switch roles to survivor for the next 1000 hours.
Within the time I've played as Killer, I've experienced:
Literal Infinite loops, Pallet Vacuums, Inability to damage generators, DS available at any time once per match with no hook requirements, BT protecting both the unhooked and the Rescuer, Instant flashlights, Flashlights that could ensure a survivors escape no matter when they blind you during pickup, Instant heals, Guaranteed Hatch Stand-offs, SC Healing in less than 12 seconds, A veritable Plethora of exploits that allowed survivors to infinitely break the game against me, Pitch black outfits that made Claudette Literally invisible to the naked eye, Fog so thick that you couldn't even see survivors more than 16 meters away, countless sound design issues, and hex totem spawns so terrible that they could never be depended on.
2018-2019 has seen some major changes regarding balance, and mostly in the Killers favor. They nerfed DS, BT, BL, SC, Healing mechanics in general, etc... Basically what I'm trying to say is that, up until recently, these past few years were a MUCH darker time to play killer, but despite that, I persevered through all of it!
Is this a statement of my overall bad-ass-ness, or more of a testament to my masochism?
It's neither...
I, like most, love this game! I have put up with endless Bullshit and bad design decisions to make it to where I am today as a Killer who has taken this unforgettable statement to heart:
"If survivors never hold back on their advantages and builds... Why should you?"
So, While I can Sympathize with the OP, I can't agree with them at all considering all the CRAP Killer Players have had to put up with in the past, and how much this game has evolved to make things more balanced in favor of killer players in the past year an a half. I honestly don't believe in their idea that the game is broken and that "We're forced to play with killers who only know how to tunnel because 'I can only get kills that way'". The DC penalty system has just been another patch, and its been more beneficial and no where near as bad as we've had it in the past.
This game was already loaded with poor sports who DC'd on a whim, and this community could do with less of them! Obviously the Devs agreed and the DC penalty system Is a much needed breath of fresh air that reminds players that they are playing a "Multiplayer game" and thus aren't entitled to win every round for the money they paid. On top of all of this the "RANK RESET" bug, has been acknowledged by the devs and is easily fixed by simply restarting the game. If you are going to quit now because of this, after all the BS the DbD community has had to put up with over the past 4 years? Then all I can say is "Good riddance".,, this community would only benefit more with less players like you.

Completely agree 100% ######### that green rank ######### is horrible, same with penalty although i just kill myself in game.

he can quit whenever he wants, i don't laugh at people who smoke for 20 years and quit. what kind of statement is that lol. "you decide to quit now" lol
0 -
I mean most people who have played this game do quit. I love it but the gameplay is so questionable all the time. always has been, heres a bonus error for queueing for 5 minutes

You don't get to criticize anyones skill. Mr. NOED is OP and DS is balanced.
😂

I did wonder why I went from rank 2 to rank 11. Do we need to report the issue as I saw a banner for it at the top of the forums but it didn't say to report it.
0 -
I totally agree, he can quit whenever he wants to, and I already said "good riddance" because we don't need any more poor sports like this whining about how "bad" the game has become when it has been far worse in the past 3 years since its release.
Seriously though, don't go comparing quitting DbD to quitting "Smoking for 20 years". Playing DbD isn't literally going to lead to your irl death, nor is it nearly as addictive. ######### is up with that comparison? Quitting smoking is only going to benefit you and extend your life, quitting DbD is going to do neither because it doesn't directly affect your actual health. People can be proud of someone who quits smoking, but people like the OP, who quit DbD over such inane reasoning when the community has dealt with far worse in the past, and despite their complaints the game has actually been Improving as of this last year and a half... how can anyone be "proud of", much less, respect that?
"lol" indeed.

Obviously a survivor main, but even still.... I don't blame you at all dude.

So your mad the rank reset was how it used to be and you had to go back to green rank after all the boosted survivors were forced out of red ranks. If you belong in red ranks you'll be back in no time. No like it hards to play survivor anyways.
This bugged rank reset was actually incredibly good for the health of the game, but ya lets make some bad survivors feel better so they can stay boosted lmao.
Seriously though this actually let's low rank killers have fair games.
Actually there are some health concerns with the games Killer FoV. This has been proven to the Dev's who didn't care about it at all.
Other then that I 100% agree with you.

- You won't quit because you created a whiny thread in the forum.

The DC penalty system is good as it is now, though it should be made harsher once the issues are addressed. A percentage based system was in effect for years, and we all know how that went....COMPLETE FAILURE! Some streamers were DCing left and right, with no penalty at all due the number of hours that they play.
Now we have a system in place that is effective, everyone is FINALLY agreeing that DCs are just a symptom of much greater issues. The DC system should not be neutered because of the greater issues. The greater issues need to be addressed individually. Reducing the DC penalty will significantly hurt the game, and will just hide the greater issues.
This is a case where you need to seriously break it, in order to find the weaknesses.
