DC penalties

When they were on Xbox they were fine for me, and all of my mates on other devices find them fine.

In my opinion it does nothing but enables people to bully eachother.

I absolutely love them. It doesn't stop ALL, it doesn't stop hook suicides, but it has made games much better since being implemented. IMO anyway.

but you need a way to leave a match that is locked in a loop or in a bugged state. it's known that if some bugs happen there is no way to get out except close the program, or use the leave match button in the menu. If people didn't decide this would be a fun thing to continue to use we'd not be here. I have seen people who would disconnect because they didn't like how a killer player would nod their head when they downed them, how they would do x or y or hey i'm rubberbanding I'm out. One streamer would do this 5-10 times a night! in some of these I was playing as a survivor with her, sure i accepted it but what am i going to say? just didn't like it personally.

I think it's fine as it is? I'm satisfied with how it's working so far.

I like that it's case by case basis though. It's treated more humanely than a simple ban just because you were having a bad day but wanted just ONE game that was decent, but also didn't have the forethought to quit after thirty minutes of waiting and quitting.

He was playing the game and most people dont agree with survivors definition of tunneling

######### are you on about. Three time in row, killer either camped or stayed around the hook. Once unhooked killer went straight for me. He repeated it until i died. All while no gens were done and i am at rank 1 playing against rank 1-5. My definition of camping and tunneling is fine dont assume #########.

This happens more often than you think it does.

I am not going to waste my words on you, because you clearly dont listen. I hope you get gen rushed, cya-

There is no point of having such a mechanic in any game. We are talking GAMES here, not life support apparatuses. No matter why someone leaves, because he has network problems, real life issues getting in the way or just does not like your style of play.

There are plenty of other measures one could take like (but not limited to):

Award the other party fuil points as if they had escaped/been killed with max points -> no more arguments about pips or points not granted

Reduce their perks by one stage or two, reduce their BP by a significant amount -> they actually lose a lot of progress, way more than they would have gained finishing the game, creates an incentive to play the round to the end or have to play several rounds to get back to the status they were before

Banning someone from a game they paid money for is not justifyable at all, especially in a software that is so bug ridden that it regularly crashes and I have already had more than one 5 minute "ban" due to the inability of this publisher to create stable software.

Should be longer of a ban and less chances to come back from it. I play 50/50 killer survivor and the thing that takes more fun out of the game than tunneling or Mori or keys or gen rushing which is what most complain about is survivors dc when they get dropped once or killing themselves on the hook especially when the run no mither. If you can play out the game and not screw others over then why bother playing at all. Not all games will go your way but you don’t have to ruin other ppls games because you have a bad game especially on the first hook. Two games in a row today two dcs and the next two suicides from first hook.

unsure if this is sarcasm, sincerely hope it is.

I think that overall, it's improved the situation. yeah, theres still hook suicides, but that benefits both parties more than DCs. the killer gets emblem points and bloodpoints, and the survivors get a little bit more time.

It's really not closed minded, it's just that these days, everyone only cares about what they get and want, and to hell with how if effects anyone else.

Back in the days of original counterstrike, people would get kicked off of servers all the time because their ping got into triple digits. Most pvp games rely on having decent connections to keep things fair and smooth, and it has always been expected that if you have internet trouble, you leave.

I agree, it sucks. I couldn't play killer for almost a year because I was stuck on crap dsl. It was strong enough to play survivor or f13, but not to handle killer. So I stopped playing killer rather than force people to suffer it especially since it'd generally be green in lobbies, but bog down in game once data really started flowing.

It makes a big difference that you said you are AWARE of a current problem with your internet and that it's widespread where you're at, so it's not just a one time hiccup.

Yesterday I watched a streamer I like play against a fairly sweaty rank 1 SWF. He took them down and they had 4 gens done and were about to finish 5 when he knocks one down, near the hatch. He's about to hang the person when the last guy runs in front of him. He chases, misses a hit, the guy kneels down for just a second and is holding a medkit. So the streamer's like "oh he used Styptic I'm gonna wait 10 seconds to hit him". Streamer waits - on second 9, the survivor teabags once and DCs, thinking their friend would have crawled to the hatch by now.

Fortunately the streamer made it, but this DC /was/ the difference between pipping up, and merely black pipping because of course he didn't get hook credit for the DCed guy.

I also saw that same streamer just 4 games before that, both surviving members of an SWF were hiding at opposite ends of the map, he saw scratches, went and hunted one, couldn't catch them, turned around, saw the hatch by accident. The second he saw it, the other SWF member was running to it, so killer went and stood on it, boom, the other person DCed. it was clear their plan was "lets bait the killer to one side of the map, DC, and you run for hatch" but they mis-timed it.

Survivors treat DCs as "I have a special ability I can use once every day and a half or so, where I get out of one situation"

Things I see this used for daily, bearing in mind I am rank 1 on killer and surv (I hate when my teammates do it, believe me):

DCing to "give hatch", especially in coordinated SWF.

DCing to prevent a use of bbq, when you're on your death hook.

DCing if its late game and you're next to an almost done gen, to prevent Pop.

DCing out of spite when downed early.

DCing - and this was amazing - to prevent Oni from hitting you and getting blood.

DCing to prevent use of obsession perks, including someone who DCed because I was "farming save the best for last" off him (starting chases to get tokens then leaving him alone for a sec, as wraith).

DCing when you miss your DS

DCing when you jump in a locker to bluff DS and I call your bluff successfully "The Ds for when you have no DS"

I should make a list that's more exhaustive, but all of these are things I've faced since DC penalties came in. Happens MORe at red ranks, not less, often by people who know they aren't pipping or know they're about to die and would rather deny you an advantage.

I don't know how to solve this, I admit it.

Perhaps SWF who DC don't open the hatch instantly (that's another thing, if you hang someone on a hook it takes about 10ish seconds for them to fully get to death, giving you time to block for example a nearby hatch, but the hatch opens the same microsecond you DC, so its faster if they're on comms and their teammate says "I'm on hatch")

Perhaps make it so that if someone DCs you get a free immediate stack/use of all your "when you hook someone" perks as compensation alongside the quitter bloodpoints.

I'd suggest changes for the emblem system, but they're deleting the concept of ranks soon.
