Me and 14 others and possibly more are complaining about the band system for disconnecting from the game it's a damn joke that's what makes dead by daylight unplayable and on fun when you ban us for no reason we disconnect because we lose internet. there are many others around the world who played this game and complain about the same thing. the ban system is out of hand I and many others would like this system taken off because it makes the game unfair and not fun to play who else will agree with me on this we don't disconnect just to be dicks we disconnect because we either lose internet. I'm sure everybody can agree with me thank you

    I’ve seen the ban system. I frankly find it to be unreasonable. It’s entirely too lax at preventing bad players from DCing when the game is not going their way. There are several chances before the time you can get back into a game becomes prohibitive. And guess what the common denominator is at that point. You.


    Every single game mechanic you’ve complained about is a legitimate technique. Is it fun when it happens all the time? No. But it’s not going to happen every time, especially to you right off the bat. It’s not like you never have the chance to play. If you’re getting personally tunneled and camped for 3 games straight, it’s clearly not your time to be be playing with a run of weird luck like that. Try again in an hour. Furthermore that high level of disconnects tell me your standards for what qualifies as tunneling and facecamping are fairly suspect. I play two different systems at midrank to high, as survivor/killer 70/30 which means I get mixed in with a lot of ranks. Which means I have a feel for a majority of the population, I believe. I can play literally all night for a week, get serious, committed tunnelers 1-2 times a night, casual tunnelers (just going for the easiest prey they see rather than deliberately seeking out the same survivor) probably another 2-3 times a night. Face campers maaaaybe once a week. I honestly don’t see the issue with sluggers. I prefer that and to be given more than 2 chances if I’m having a bad game. And if you’re losing internet that often, you SHOULDN’T be playing. It’s not fair to your teammates.

    If it were up to me, the second time in an 8 hour period you DC after your character has been downed or hooked, you should be done for the 8 hours. You’re exactly the sort of player this system was designed for, stop screwing over your team over a hissy fit about someone’s strategy. If you think the game is trash, don’t play rather than contributing to making it trash for everyone playing with you.

    You do realize that dc'ing against face campers hurts you team, right? Just stay on the hook for 2 minutes and wait it out. Thats the best strat to punish all facecampers for their playstyle.

    Slugging and Facecamping is not against the rules and surv have perks to counter slugging. Unbreakable lets you get up once and you recover faster for the whole match, combined with flip flop and it will be harder to hook you. At the end its on your team mates to know when its safe to pick you up. He cant patrol the slug and gens at the same time, except if you 3gen yourself (which is the surv fault not killer).

    I do admit that these strategies might not be the most fun for survivors, but its part of the game.

    But as long as there are that many bugs in the game, there should not be a dc penalty. Why do I have to be punished for being bugged on the hook? Endgame didnt even kill me. Why did I get punished when the killer disconnected? Why did I get punished bc the ded server crashed or lags so bad that its unplayable?

    "we disconnect because we either lose internet" <- thats on you man. BHVR can't distinguish if you legit had a disconnect or just pulled your plug. They're not responsible for you connection, thats smth that you should work out by yourself (own network/bad wifi etc) or your ISP.

    Also: sorry for you loss. Just dont project your mood/personal feelings on a game, they're supposed to be fun and entertaining, not bringing you down. If you dont feel good rn and dbd brings you even more down: "play smth else, like CIV" (Mathieu Cote, 2018)
