DC penalties are BS
Every time I or my friend get disconnected because of this shity game we get penalties, which don't even decrease. He got disconnected yesterday and got 2 minutes, he got disconnected today and got 4 minutes. Like #########?? EVEN IF IT WAS BUG WHY DID IT INCREASE??? IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST LIKE 15 HOURS OR SOMETHING. Either fix this game, add some kind of renewer for penalties, cuz this is absolut BS.

I personally don't believe DC penalties were necessary. They were a step in the right direction but people just suicide on hook or DC anyways.

Keep giving feedback because at this rate they are going to have long queues because of how many people were wrongly penalized when they didn’t intentionally DC.
The penalties would have worked if the game didn’t have its own history of issues with crashes happening in the middle of a match.
I got disconnected while I was being unhooked, all of a sudden I am taken to the post match chat screen with a server error... and then I get a penalty. Lol 😂

Atleast the killer doesnt get robbed as well then. It's an improvement nonetheless

Im up to 15min penalty due to crashes, think i hit 30mins next. Havent dc'd intentionally once. Games becoming a joke.

If your game is crashing all the time it is your PC. I watch hours and hours of streamers and almost never do I see a game suddenly crash. I play this game all the time and it has crashed only on one rare occasion when there was a known issue. Hasn't crashed in months. So either your pc isn't able to handle the game or you're making this up because you like to dc.

I agree. If your crashing enough times that you need to wait 30 mins to get into another game maybe you should get a better pc, upgrade or you shouldn't be playing dbd. It's not the devs fault your PC can't handle it.

Me(Mario): *Loses power*
Devs(SMG4): "You're screwed, yeah, you're totally screwed. You're screwed, you're screwdoodilly-dood. You're screwed, you're screwed, you're screwed!"

I've been playing quite a bit since the dc penalty went live and haven't had a single time out at all. Maybe get your pc checked out to make sure it's running right. I can see a random crash here or there putting the bone to you once but if you're up to say a 30 minute time out something is wrong with you or your rig.

Funny how no one explained to op that first two dc's are 5 minutes. It is not 2 or 4 minutes and starts ticking immediately after the dc. He probably just returned to the lobby later and saw different numbers. It resets daily.
Instead of screaming at the devs learn how dc's work op.

Im not on pc.

If you're getting disconnected from the game that much, then it's time to fix your internet, or stop playing. You're ruining the game for everyone else.

Wait, I thought they didn't implement DC penalties on other platforms, only on pc? So why would you be at 15 minutes?
I had some crashes with my old computer because of a memory problem. Never had a crash since I have a new computer. The only disconnects I experience at the moment are when someone disconnects from the lobby.

DC penalties are a must in the game. People need to be held accountable for their behavior or crappy internet. Both hurt the game for those of us out here just trying to play.

Dc penalties are on console also.

Dedicated servers and dc penalty are live on both pc and console.

If you'r DCing then you're ruining the game for everyone else. Why is it so hard to grasp that that needs to be punished? If you really want to DC go ahead but take the punishment you earned.
You could always just let the killer get you and die on hook too if your that desperate to leave a match.
If you are talking about crashing and If your crashing that consistently, That's a you problem and not the game. Get a better system and/or internet.
1 -
I have no idea why you are discussing this. ######### in a hook if you have an urgent job or if an unfortunate incident happened due to the dedicated server.
It's that simple.
1 -
Seems like the amount of people experiencing DC bugs has risen since the penalties became a thing.
If the games that #########, take a break from it.
If you know it can bug out, you're knowingly putting yourself in the situation to be DCd, and your teammates to be #########.

If your game is crashing that often then it's on your system and or internet. The penalty was needed and has already helped a lot with all the petulant children.
2 -
Then fix your system, internet, or stop DCing and acting like it's a bug.
If your game crashes, its ######### over your team. Figure your ######### out first.
If it's so ######### and a joke, go try something else for a bit. I hear Civilization is a great game.

Ah yeah, just checked again and they wrote not on xbox because there are no dedicated servers yet (but that changed in the meantime too). Don't know how I generalised it to all consoles. Sorry, my bad.

No i wont stop playing, ive been playing this game since release and didnt have any problems until Stranger Things dlc.
I will continue playing, i will continue to get dc'd occasionally and hopefully the devs fix it.

this is my biggest worry with the new penalty. it’s needed, but with how sensitive the game is, i don’t think now is the right time. but i don’t like people abusing and DC’ing and ruining the experience for everyone else. it’s just such a tricky situation right now. if they fixed their servers it’d be solid, bc i’ve watched since the dedicated servers went up on xbox yesterday a few killers just run into walls and DC, so they most likely got penalized for that.

I've seen this a fair bit while playing survivor and killer. People come off hook and the dc icon appears.
When it's intentional it's normally done before the hook.
But I guess it serves you right for discon....trying to play the game you paid for.

I was for DC penalties at first, but I've noticed a massive increase in DC and suicide since they were put in. I chalked this up to frustration over the penalties at first, but I'm starting to think this is going to be the new norm. Much worse than before. Keep in mind, I'm probably the one of the more fair killers in the game. I will avoid tunneling if at all possible. If I pass by you and you were on the hook less than a minute ago, I'll likely move on and keep looking. At most, I'll down you and keep going. I avoid being a toxic killer because I want to play the game as if the other players are people too and I know how much it sucks to get tunneled out of the game in less than 3 minutes with no points.
Anyways, if I play like that and I'm hammered with suicides and DCs now, then I can only imagine what more toxic killers are seeing. I know I told my wife I'm done with survivor for a while. She has wanted to play more lately, but the level of camping, tunneling, and outright toxicity is through the roof right now. We had a killer who admitted his only goal was to get players to DC so they would get the penalty. This should not be a thing. Every match was a 2v1 and the killer did not care. We had suicides and DCs non-stop. I had enough after one night of that BS. Told her she is on her own.
She has yet to have a single match in the three days since where there was not a DC or suicide. Most of the time there are multiple. She was playing survivor and I killer last night. She played 14 matches. She was tunneled or camped in 10 of them, slugged in 2, and had a couple of fun Pig matches due to Booping the Snoot.
Myself, I had a dozen killer matches last night and had a suicide on first hook in 8 of them. Nothing special. Running Trapper or Pig and down the first person, hook, suicide. I was nowhere near the hook in each instance.
I say give it a month or so, if this does not change, get rid of the darn penalties. I want the old matches back.

I've never seen a 2 minute and 4 minute punishment times, it starts with 5 mins
are you sure youre talking about DBD?
0 -
That was my experience too. To be honest disconnects are down but hook suicides and afk killers are way up.
I'd say from my experience at least a third of games have hook suicides or afk killers.
Also yes plenty of videos circulating and stories of killers playing toxic to try and encourage disconnects. It doesn't surprise me one bit with this community.

He say it was 2 and 4, he probably missed complete time cuz he had to reopen dbd.
1 -
ahh ok then Dont belive him maybe hes lying about the un-intentional disconnect as well :)
also second time is 30 minutes, theres no way he misses that one

Yep... It's really disappointing that you feel like you're walking on eggshells if it kicked you out of a match because you know the next time, the time will just double up.
1 -
Reported for falsely accusations
1 -
Nice bait. It's mostly people who DCd alot before that are now complaining about the penalties.
I got disconnected by the game (crash or whatever) 3 times and never got a penalty.
0 -
I've been playing dbd since last year and I've only experienced like 3 crashes so i really doubt that these "I got penalized because the game kicked me" stories are 100% accurate
0 -
If you crash during the match (regardless of the reason) you WILL get a penalty. That is a fact, not baiting.
I got disconnected 2 times and the timer was at 14 mins, for literally someone trying to unhook me. How exactly is that a fair penalty?
I am not speaking for everyone else because I don’t presume to know how many people dc on accident or intentionally.

Yeah, seems mighty convenient that this is happening all of a sudden on this wide of a scale now that DC penalties are a thing.

This attitude really needs to change. It’s disgusting to accuse everyone else of lying when they’re getting penalised through no fault of their own.
The infinite load screen for example is a known issue. Now it doesn’t count towards penalties because they don’t count load screen disconnects anymore but WHY do you think that is? It was because of this bug penalising everyone last time that they had to disable it on load screen.
Crashes are not very frequent (from my experience) right now, however at one point last year they were quite frequent. There’s no telling when an update will come out that breaks the game again.
Server disconnects are not infrequent at all. You see a fair few playing the game or even watching people on stream. Rank update error also seems to be giving people penalties.
So for me the game actually crashing is very infrequent outside of infinite load screen however I can’t say if that’s true for everyone or not but there are definitely issues with the servers. Just ask the xbox players experiencing them for the first time.

Well said. I have mentioned plenty of times and reported crash bugs while those posts get drowned in posts accusing others of dc’ing on purpose.
I remember when there was a nasty crash bug that comes around sometimes when updates drop and people were asking me how I knew that the others crashed too... even tho I made it clear that I was in a SWF match.
It is really really sad what this community has come to. Just because something isn’t happening to YOU doesn’t mean it is not true or legitimate. Especially when it comes to crashes.
Crashing during a match and getting penalized for it is not cool. No one is asking to revert the penalty system but at least give the people that crashed another way of getting rid of it aside from waiting it out. People can take snapshots ya know?

I just got 24 hours ban..... Hope to reach 1 week or 1 month ban soon, so finally I will find the motivation to leave this addicting trash game

dc penalty was a bad thing. theyre trying to move this game in a balanced main stream direction. something it'll never be capable of, the game was always very unforgiving, mean , rude because that's pretty much what it is. so whats the deal with a punishment system in a game as unforgiving as this. you have to expect that your game makes people pretty mad, considering most people who play quit.
