get rid of the dc penalty thats killing the game

ok i have to say the d/c penalty is by far the worst idea ever and it needs to be removed cause those survivors who don't care about the penalty will still d/c and i acually just had a match with someone who tunneled me off hook. now i normally don't dc when this happins but after it happining game after game after game i finally said screw it and i d/c. now i have friends who have dc they all got between 4 to 5 hour bans now i d/c for the first time and i get a 24 hour ban? how is that fair at all? i have buddies who d/c constantly they get again between 4 min. to a 5 hour ban. and i just d/c cause i couldn't take the tunnling anymore especally when i am found first and get nothing done and i de- pip. thats why i am a firm belever that the d/c penalty is going to kill this game on xbox i should point out is where this is happining i can't speak for pc or ps4 and honestly i hope it isnt as bad on those platforms as it is on xbox. now i also think the reason this game will die on xbox is cause dbd is on gamepass and i have no problem seeing a rank 20 and messaging them hey if you want to get beetr at killer here is a few pointers cause yes i do play killer as well. but this is in my opionion completely unfair that i was givin a 24 hour ban for d/c out of a match where i was going to de pip anyway. will this be fixed or did i just get a random glitch cause 24 hours for the first d/c is kinda exessive in my opinion

    You clearly are dcing quite often if you got 24 hours..more like you dcd about 6 times would be closer to the truth..if that's the case your exactly who the system is targeting and therefore working as intended

    i have buddies who d/c almost every match now cause of the camping/tunnling they all get the same penalty 30 min. i d/c once and get 24 hours sorry but you are wrong here it is not working as intended

    If you are telling the truth and you actually only disconnected a single time, getting a 24 hour ban would be a bug and you should report it.

  • Alucardrx20

    yeah i did report it and honestly i hope they fix this bug cause i would accept the 30 min ban like my buddies got when they d/c my d/c is getting hooked then using all attempts then dying on said hook

    Judging by the way you have typed out this post, you definitely sound like the kind of player who harrasses the killer for "tunneling" because you sat at the hook self-healing and he just came back and downed you. There are perks for avoiding tunneling, namely Decisive Strike. Also, tunneling killers are not common enough to show up multiple times in a row every day, unless you somehow manage to play a version of the game with completely different players. You make it out to be that ALL killers you play against are tunneling you. At some point, it's worth evaluating whether there's something with your playstyle that might predispose them to dislike you, or cause you to end up being found frequently.

    Alright, well, when you're ready to join the rest of us in the real world, where we have sane and intelligent thoughts, let me know. It's a shame to see there are still some people stuck in the early internet era and think condescendingly calling people "adorable" automatically makes you right.

    I've put hundreds of hours into the game, just like almost everyone else on this forum, I'm sure. I know that tunneling and camping is not genuinely as frequent of a problem as you're making it out to be. The only reason killers tend to tunnel every game is when there's a survivor t-bagging them, or doing some really dumb plays that get them in repeated chases. I'm not saying you're harassing killers, I'm just saying... you're either pissing them off, or you're doing something wrong gameplay-wise and getting caught by them frequently.


    Now, if you want to talk about "stuff you obviously know nothing about", then you can consult the dictionary. Your original post looks like the ramblings of a drunken man who learned English as a third language. You want to be condescending towards everyone on this post, telling them you're right and they all just "don't know what they're talking about"? I suggest taking the time to write out a well-structured, properly punctuated, and coherent post first. If you're incapable of that, then you're probably incapable of playing DBD at a higher level.

    Honestly that's silly. You can run a killer for too long and they will not only camp you, but sit at the hook hitting you over and over. It happens quite often whether you do anything to them that people consider "toxic" or not. I've had it happen game after game after game of me doing nothing to irritate them other than running them for too long as well. People who play this way are ego-centric and if they find they're not the hot ######### they thought they were, they immediately resort to underhanded tactics.


    I think it's pretty obvious English isn't their first language and you're bashing them for it. Not cool.

  • CharlieCreston

    I don't think criticizing someone's language is really too far out of hand when they're going to immediately and condescendingly disregard any dissenting opinions as simply uninformed and calling them "adorable/funny". OP obviously didn't come here for an honest conversation, they just came here to write a barely-punctuated paragraph rant and expected everyone to cheer and applaud them for it. If they were genuinely listening and responding to the comments being posted, I would not have a problem overlooking the grammar being used. Since they clearly believe that they are right and everyone else is just silly, some harsher words need to be spoken to bring OP back to ground level. If you think that's "not cool" then that's your personal opinion, but to me there's nothing cool about acting high-and-mighty on a forum that you can barely communicate on.

    I mean, you immediately and condescendingly judged who they were based on....guesses? Sure, maybe they do d/c more often than they're letting on, but you have no proof of that. They claim this is their first DC and they got 24 hours though. I DC when I have no other way to screw a jerky killer out of their jerk behavior unapologetically and the most I've got is 15 minutes, and believe me, it happens quite often, and I don't instigate the situation. It didn't start off that way for me, but after so long of being tired of ebonies and people camping their first hook(mostly others, sometimes me), I gave up caring. If they don't want to play in a sportsmanlike way, I don't have to either, and I can still get plenty of play time.


    That said if this guy is telling the truth, then they got done wrongly. If they aren't, then they DC literally every single game.

  • CharlieCreston
    CharlieCreston Member Posts: 13

    I actually was not the one to accuse them of lying about how many times they've DCed. I'm not going to accuse them of lying directly when I have no proof. I'm simply saying that if tunneling is happening to him, say, 9 games out of 10, which is how frequent his post makes it sound, then it sure seems like he's playing a completely different game than me. I just don't see tunneling happen that often.

    When I play as killer, I explicitly do my best to avoid downing/hooking the same survivor twice in short succession unless they do something foolish such as self-heal at the hook. These same survivors tend to be the most vocal ones post-game, whining in chat that I am a "tunneling camping #########" and the like. It's a player stereotype that seems to show up fairly frequently, and if this person honestly never does toxic things like t-bagging after a pallet, then the only reason I could see killers 'tunneling' them is if they were simply not playing very well in the first place.

    It happens far more than you must think. A lot of killers are very ego centric. I believe it's WHY they play killer(or to stir up salt in the first place). If they find someone giving them too much trouble, they will camp them at their first hook. If they have a flashlight, they an bring ebony. If they have a toolbox, they bring an ebony(even though toolboxes are pretty worthless). IF they bring an ebony, they always stay right by the first hook they make ready to tunnel them out of the game at a moment's notice. I once had a Bubba who literally was walking from one side of the map to another SIDEWAYS(I call it crab walking) while his face was on me at the hook. Basically, anything that threatens their ability to win will cause most players that I've played against to be cause for them to play in an unsportsmanlike manner.


    I also was just saying that you judged them based on a guess. You didn't verify anything before making a judgement on who they were or how they played. Why should they play nice to you if you already play not so nice to them? You literally started the argument between you two.

    yeah since the dc penalty came in its like killers are now playing more like douchebags by camping/tunnling and like i said in my original post i d/c for the first time after being tunneled cant really say camped honestly cause i just use up all my attemps then die on hook when i am camped on hook but when my teammates get me and i am immedeatly the one they go for i try to stay in but its so stupid now that us survivors are now getting punished for d/c on killers that don't make the game fun is ridiculous the devs will not punish the killers who do this so our recorse was to d/c on them to punish them ourselves by denying them their max points and honestly we survivor also get punished by losing all out bp so again i will stand by my starement about how stupid the d/c penalty is and how broken it is i acually d/c a second time today cause i was being tunneled immedeatly off hook and i got another 24 hour ban. so if me d/c twice in 3 days nets me a 24 hour ban both times i say again who is this penalty really for us who play survivor or the killers who act like they are now untouchable cause of this penalty? and i say this as someone who plays killer as well i don't camp or tunnel and you know how many survivors post and now with the penalty hace d/c on me exacly 0

  • Alucardrx20
    Alucardrx20 Member Posts: 42

    yeah obviously not with your comment

    no it is this guy is oviously one of those intitled killers who think that only survivors should be punished for their trash playstyle

  • CharlieCreston
    CharlieCreston Member Posts: 13

    Even before DC penalties were active, DCing was in no way an effective way of punishing ######### killers. As a killer, you just think "cool, one less person to worry about..." and brush it off. Hardly missing out.

  • Alucardrx20
    Alucardrx20 Member Posts: 42

    i never accuse a killer of being toxic or trash if they arent like if i t-bag after dropping a pallet i expect to be camped and tunneled and i accept that my thing is now killers when the camping/tunnling wasnt that bad is now a million times worse cause of the d/c penalty and in my opinion the only ones who are for the penalty are the toxic killers cause now they can play as toxic as they want and survivors if they don't want the dc penalty have to sit ttheir and take it

  • Alucardrx20
    Alucardrx20 Member Posts: 42

    you would think that but i have had killers message me cause they tunneled me all mad cause i d/c on them for tunnling me and i still get killers who do the same case in point the both times today and 2 days ago for the 24 hour ban that i complained about the killer said that i am lucky that he "dosen't know me irl" cause i would pay for d/c on him/her i say him/her only cause i don't know who is at the other end but i am leaning more towards him

  • CharlieCreston
    CharlieCreston Member Posts: 13

    Well, I'm going to brush this thread off at this point because with every additional post it just sounds more and more like an r/thathappened entry.I'm sorry you feel that killers are #########. Play killer and be better than them.

  • Alucardrx20
    Alucardrx20 Member Posts: 42

    i should say that i don't know what platform you all play it on i mainly played on xbox cause thats where i have it on and the camping/tunnling is in abundance their. my bro got me dbd on pc and i have had 0 camping/tunnling and this is playing just as survivor all day. i heard its also rampart on ps4 but i cannot confirm nor deny that cause i do not own a ps4. and those of you on xbox not getting camped and or tunneled good for you but that also means that you have absoluly no idea what it is like for those of us who do get camped/tunneled when it's not warranted so if you are one of those special few who dosen't get camped and or tunneled on xbox i woul ask that you do not respond with statements like "suck it up" and such cause untill it happins to you game after game after game you have no idea how unfun dbd on xbox really is. and i honestly blame a lot of this on the fact that it is on gamepass

  • Alucardrx20
    Alucardrx20 Member Posts: 42

    i do play killer and better than those who unjustly camp and or tunnel i have on xbox 4 max lv max prestege killers and i also don't care about getting 4 mans i will acually go around the map hitting gens and breaking pallets for points and hope that the survivor finds the hatch. and not all killers are ######### like i said i have played on my pc all day today and had 0 camping/tunnling i even played 1 match with a killer on xbox who didn't tunnel and i said to him gg and that it was nice to have a killer who made the game fun. he even said he plays survivor and the camping tunnling is ridiculous and thats why he plays killer to make the game just a little bit more fun. though after that i had more matches with tunnling killers

    That's not what the forums say. A lot of killers hate DCs because it ruins their games. That said, a lot of idiots tended to DC when they were first caught, or whatever, which is stupid, but a lot of killers complained about people DCing in all manners of situations, including being camped/tunneled. Tunneling imo doesn't happen as often as camping. Usually it's because someone saves DIRECTLY after the killer leaves and then calls it tunneling, but in that situation the survivor should have been smarter and waited. Any time I see another survivor planning to unhook me right in the killer's face, I DC because they don't deserve that altruism or me in their game, and I'm going to get killed pretty early anyways. I'd rather do something else while I wait for the DC penalty than play in a game that I know people are gonna be jerks like that. This game isn't important enough to me to stick through situations like that. Killers also complain about people one hooking themselves, so obviously they do care about it, generally if they want to pip.

    Lol hey man think what you want..doesnt change the fact dcing is punished and thank god it is..punishes those who deserve it for ruining matches and trying to screw the scoring system..and posts complaining about that are amusing to read

  • Alucardrx20
    Alucardrx20 Member Posts: 42

    honestly the tunnling got bad when dbd was put on game pass and it just continued to get worse the penalty has make the killers who try to hide that they are at least tunnling to come out in brute force and not hide it anymore. i do beleve that if this game was taken off the game pass the tunnling wouldnt be as bad and i have been playing on pc quite a bit and noticed how the tunnling is not that bad like for every maybe 2 or 3 good matches i have 1 that tunnels. but if killers need to tunnel cause they eaither don't know how to play or they think its funny will learn just like the devs will cause eventuall this tunnling on xbox will get to the point that people on xbox who have other platforms will just go their and the devs will only have themselves to blame for their xbox survivor population dwindling but i mean i am done on xbox so if killers want to tunnel cause they have no skill then go ahead cause i will be playing with killers who acually have skill

    Im just going to put this out there.

    If you are getting 30+ minute bans, your definitely dc'ing more than you admit. A bug that instantly gets you a 24 hour ban is possible but the fact that no one is reporting it makes it very unlikely especially when dc'ing is still common. This is also the most probable since instead of you wanting it fixed you just want the whole penalty system removed.

    While tunneling and camping killers are a thing, they are not the type of player you run into multiple times a day. In all my time playing this game i have not ran into these killers as frequent as OP makes it seem. Maybe like 2 or 3 a day out of say 10 games where im not being toxic and thats on the high side.

    If your playing with people who constantly dc it says a few things about you. You are probably also dc'ing with them, your friends are probably doing things to get the killer pissed so they dc to prevent tunneling/camping, and the people your hanging out with don't like the dc penalty since they cant constantly dc and start another match so that means you also hate the penalty since you cant play with them or your in the same boat as them.

    While i don't know your situation, from what you talk about and the lack of reports on a bug that would be more common just makes this look like an attempt for attention. Lastly i play on xbox and again the constant camping and tunneling thing since game pass and the dc penalty system or whatever is bs, the game hasn't been affected by it besides a higher player count at lower ranks and it being from the game pass doesn't make those players tunnel or camp more than players who just buy the game.
