Please bring back DC penalty but do it right
It should activate if you hit the "leave game" button or dashboard with up to 3 mercy's each day for dashboarding incase you get dc'ed due to network issues. Also prevents people from dashboarding or going to home screen to avoid the penalty.
EDIT*
Just to make thing a bit more clear Apex Legends used this same idea for Ranked and it worked great. You get some freebees for the people who genuinely lose connection keeping it fair but it prevents people from quiting matches left and right. 👌
EDIT #2*
I guess it's hard to understand what I'm saying so I will try to make it more clear. If you get disconnected from the server AT ALL, wether it be from LEAVING GAME, SERVER ISSUES OR DASHBOARDING (AKA ALT 4, AKA HOME SCREEN ON CONSOLE) you get an increasing penalty time with a max time limit and 2 Freebees every 24 hours from the time of initial use of the first one. That should just about cover it for the people who lack basic critical thinking.

3 a day is alot. Do people even DC that much in a day?

Do it right lol
Sorry, but a whole new coding set, a new script has to be made because hackers hacked the current one.
Don't know how long that would take though.

No thanks why would you want the old one back? and make others suffer.

I'm haven't been keeping up to date, why was the DC penalty removed?
0 -
I've had 2 killers and 3 survivors DC on me within an hour of playing so far today
1 -
That's why I said do it right. Make a new a new code system that allows up to 3 errors for server disconnect. Or even 2. It's like some people can't read or something.

I can go full ######### mode but I promised I'd be more wholesome.
You're ######### lucky.

Then make it 2. Doesn't really matter as long as you allow room for server errors so people who get boned by a server disconnect are stuck with a waiting time

Hackers gave TrU3 a 72 hour ban timer some how

Okay Karen calm down I'll get the manager 😂 thank you I feel so lucky you aren't trash talking me over an internet forum for a video game 🙏🙄

How does this prevent dashboard/homescreening and closing the game to avoid DCs penalties? You literally said you should only get a penalty (with 3/2 freebies a day. Why?) If you hit the "leave game" button. Force closing the game is a completely different action.

At this point they need to change the tag line

If you leave the game by getting kicked or dashboarding you still disconnect from the server which then kicks in the freebe or if you've used them up then you get a penalty. You're still leaving the match my guy. But hitting the leave match button should be an automatic penalty.

This makes more sense. Your first post is lacking in info. Lol sorry about that.
1 -
you shouldnt get any "mercy" DCs.
instead they should update it so it can actually detect when a game crashed and not penalize you for it, aswell as fixing potential bugs where players got a timeout longer than what they should have gotten.
0 -
Thank you for the input updated it :)

It's kind of why i only play a little bit here and there now instead of regularly.
0 -
That's actually a lot easier said than done unfortunately.
0 -
The DC penalty activates if you hit the LEAVE GAME button.
Okay, so i can Alt+F4 after i run out of the 3 freebies.
1 -
Bro did you even read the whole thing🤦 y'all gotta stop reading one sentence and reacting smhhh
0 -
I did read it, you're just not telling us how it's prevented, you only say it's prevented.
2 -
If you leave the game you get a penalty with 2 or 3 free ones. That means leaving the game for any reason. Once it detects you leave the games server you get the pentalty.
0 -
Oh okay.
0 -
You can close app and not hit leave game.
There was a buildup already for net issues.
None of this is a new concept.
Also, did they really remove DC bans??
1 -
Oop
0 -
Yeah the removed DC bans because a streamer got hacked and was given a 72 hour ban smhh
0 -
You can force a game crash.
0 -
And you would still get penalized because you left the game🤷 not sure how y'all are having a hard time understanding this. If you LEAVE the server for ANY reason you get ban time with 3 or 2 free ones
0 -
I wasnt talking to you, I was talking to the guy that said there should be a mechanism to detect if your game crashed and spare you a penalty.
But in regards to what you are saying, I don't like that idea either, because there shouldnt be freebies at all. Once the DC penalty is back it should work as it does. Even if you didnt leave intentionally, youve still ruined the game for other people.
1 -
"coding set"?
No, it's called a security hotfix with probable encryption/obfuscation. It shouldn't take long if BHVR knows what they are doing - and we all know they're prioritizing that over fixing other issues that have flat out been broken for months.
2 -
Yes!!! Just today in 10 killer games I’ve had people DC against Clown (no pinky finger addon) multiple times, Huntress upon hearing lullaby literally never even saw them, Bubba on first down so it’s not like they can even claim camping, and Pyramid head when I hit them through a wall... these were all first down DC so again they can’t claim camping, tunneling, broken addons, heck if you look it’s not even the best killers
2 -
Gotcha.
You shouldn't be penalized for getting dropped from the server. It's not your fault the game crashed on you there for you should get at least 2 saves. You didn't ruin the game for the other players, the game ruined it for them.
0 -
then make it so when you crash you get a timeout, but it doesnt increase.
im pretty sure 95% of the ppl who have a game crash didnt force it, therefore its a little unfair to give them increasing DC penalities for something they had no control over
0 -
But if you made it so DC was punished and crashing wasn’t you know what would happen.
0 -
and if we dont make it, the old complaints that have filled this forum for months now where people ended up getting banned for long periodes of time just because their game kept crashing will once again reappear.
and if there was a huge increase of "game crashes", they can reactivate it at any time.
1 -
That's why you give 2 or 3 Freebees to prevent true crashes from penalizing you 🤷 it's like I'm repeating myself 🤦 I get DCed by the server every so often so I'd say 2 is a safe number.

Survivors: Remove the DC penalties they're banning people for no reason and there's better solutions!
These same survivors once the penalties are actually removed:

LMFAOOOO I'm actually dead. 😂

Yeah I'd leave too after being downed within the first 20 seconds because of jacked spawn points.

She was sprinting in the open, ran circles after first hit instead of getting max distance from the hit speed boost and then got stuck going up the stairs. Her own damn fault 😂
1 -
Wouldnt people just pull the plug or use some third party program if not task manager to exit the game and evade punishment?
0 -
That what dashboarding is. That's why I suggested any action leaving the game. Gotta read and understand my mans
0 -
they could unplug their router. simple enough.
Apex is not a good comparison for this either, because that game has lots of players a match (100 I think) so even if someone DC's it's often not noticeable.
Personally I'd prefer a Bot to replace DC'd players.
0 -
It's not about how noticeable it is in the match it's about the mechanics behind it to discourage people from disconnecting 🤦 dude use your head just a little. Unplugging the router STILL MAKES YOU DISCONNECT FROM THE MATCH. Which means you get ban time after the 2nd freebee is used up. No offense just tired of no one using their basic thinking skills here.
0 -
I think 2 would be good. It's not super often I get a network errors but it gives more leway over just 1 screw up a day.
0 -
Apex legends has a similar system in ranked and it works very well.
1 -
I never heard of the term dashboarding I assume it's an IT term or something and seems like others haven't either so it's nice that you edited in its definition.
0 -
That would be best. But I have no confidence they could pull it off.
0 -
3 mercys a day? If you're crashing 3 times in a day you shouldn't be playing the damn game.
1 -
That's why I said up to 3 so they can decide what's a good balancing point. I'd say 2 make the most sense if we are talking about server consistency until we transfer to 60hz servers then it could reduce to 1.
