Ban needs to CHANGE!!!

Wow guys the banning rules are ridiculous! Absolutely the worst I’ve seen. Thus far through disconnects and the occasional “screw this game” right before I die has got me a 40+ hour ban? Crazy...

Now I am reading some post people are up to a 1000 hours??? INSANE! At this point you lost a customer who has invested a lot of money into the game. I’ll spend all the spare time not playing this game and look for another one to spend my money on. Right?


the rules of banning MUST CHANGE. I think no more than 1 hour should be plenty.

    “screw this game” right before I die

    Then don't do this? Although yeah maybe they made the time bans a little too high.

    If you reach 1000 hours you must be really invested in disconnecting

    Though I agree the ban times are a bit ridiculous, you really shouldn't quit in the middle of a game unless you absolutely have to. I had some internet issues last week, coupled with a crash where NOBODYS GAME WAS RUINED BUT MINE -- I was LITERALLY half a second from the exit when the game decided "Nah, not going to let you leave." -- which led to a 6 hour ban. I waited 24 hours to play again. Things seemed fine until my internet decided "You know how I was working for the last 24 hours without any problem? Even allowing you to download updates for everything overnight! Yeah, I'm not going to do that anymore." And then got ANOTHER 6 hour ban. Which is a 48 hour soft ban if I want the penalty to decay (maybe longer, I'm not sure. They NEVER explain it for some reason)

    I mean if you're losing, accept the loss. I'd love to be able to just turn on the game and play. Heck, I'd love it if my ISP fixed the copper wiring so my internet didn't go out once in a while. But that's not going to happen. If you enjoy the game, you should finish each match and be happy that you don't face these issues some people do.

    My last ban was 5hrs, and I only DC against sWFs burning map offerings and dominating me. I always try, but when 4 gens pop in 3 mins and I ve only got 1 hook, been pallet stunned, tbagged, and flashlighted to death, I'm out. But putting rank 14 killers against red and purple rank sWFs is fine and fair tho, right?

    Sine the penaltys came out I only got once a 5 Minute penalty, cause the game crashed plus receiving crash report. So how about not DCing?

    If you regularly intentionally disconnect from a match that you have committed to and thereby ruin 4 other peoples' fun each time you do it, you don't deserve to play this game. Just wait for the ban to expire and learn from this.

    It's really not that hard to follow the rules of this game: Just don't ragequit and don't abuse bugs. If you cant be bothered to follow these simple rules, I'm glad that you're moving on from this game.

    Since the DC penalties I've 0 minutes. I simply don't DC, even if the game is bad.

    Don't DC.... Period!

    I just got kicked out of a match that wasn't my fault and got banned for it. It's a ######### system. If they didn't want people to leave matches they should've never made that option to begin with. It sucks

    Pretty much this. I havent seen anything longer than a 5-minute timer since the ban system was implemented.
