I can't tell you how many times I have been disconnected and banned for being disconnected. I can't play this game, especially now that I bought the stupid "season pass" as I'll call it and get constantly disconnected from host. I play on both PC and Console (Xbox One) and yet console seems to be the only one having these issues, rarely will I get disconnected from the PC servers but this is rediculous. I can't play on my Xbox because EVERY game is bound to be a disconnect. Now I know your probably saying, "It's probably your internet service provider" and for a note it probably is for the most part their fault... I mean I have spectrum, that's mistake one of my end to pay about $100 a month for a cardboard box and 3g Internet speeds... But this game was having issues even before my internet needed crutches and the two being this tedious together is annoying as anything. Fix the DC ban or something, for God sakes people still DC anyways and if anything it makes a sport of being a toxic douchebag even more fun for those who like to upset others. If not fixing the DC ban, then fix the damn servers please... I'm tired of constantly evading this game because of getting banned from 3 minutes to 3 hours in one day

    You have to spend at least 200 hundred dollars on cosmetics to earn the right to demand things of devs.


    Sarcasm.

    Actually I lied, as sucky as Spectrum can be... You can see that I have no issues with the connection to my games.

    Again, if I wasn't being banned almost every single disconnect and my timer growing from 3 minutes to 3-12 hours in one day... I'd be ok with that, but I keep having some "disconnected from host" issues and perhaps it may be my internet hiccuping. But if that's the case, shouldn't I just lag spike really hard instead of being disconnected and banned for it?? Again, quitting to the main menu is something I'm all for banning... But when it's an actual disconnect (yes I know it's hard to tell because everyone who purposely disconnects just pulls the plug) can't we find some way to determine whether or not it's intentional or not?

    That's funny, but also not because I have a feeling you aren't too far off. I only ever get heard from them when I spend money and I don't get what I paid for. One time I paid about $70 worth of stuff on here and didn't get the Auric cells until I complained every day for about 2 weeks. Couldn't get a refund or anything and it was just atrocious

    Don't they go through Amazon for their dedicated servers? I ask because Amazon just released their own game, Crucible, on Steam, which I would assume also uses their own servers, and they are terrible.

    If DbD goes through Amazon, and Amazon's own hero shooter PvP has crappy servers, I fear there is no fixing them.

    Let me put it to you this way. Players want others that rage-leave a match to STOP this type of behavior. At some point. all computers and their networks fail.

    Which I can already tell you a relative of mine whom WORKED in a very nice position at a VERY majorly nice computer company that has been around since before the 80s and makes some extremely high-end equipment. He has some VERY harsh and condescending words about those whom host games and do NOT grasp the concept of computer systems. (Which would be nice if they would ever share the wealth).

    -----------------------

    This is a game that shouldn't have more than maybe a 5 or 10 minute penalty max and the stacking stuff shouldn't exist. All of the network systems that exist in the world aren't some high end fiber connections going everywhere, at ALL points. There is old copper on most of these networks and only the big cities have decent connection.

    Let me put to everyone that lives outside of a city. When you live in a rural setting. There is two things. Work and sleep. Very boring life. Video games are great, because it gives our miserable lives something else to do. I'd say Mario and Zelda, followed by Sonic are the greatest gifts to Rural dwellers. Then the advent of online gaming and the good fellows whom quickly started getting some connections out to farms.

    They said they got like a 50-something percent decrease or something like that (I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head) so I'll take that any day and eat the penalty the few times my internet does go faulty.

    People shouldn't be baby raging and quitting mid match. Whatever helps significantly cut that down, I'll take it.
