Im allready sick of rage/dc´ing cowards. Bring finally the DC penalty system back

first of all, it DOES include d/cing in the rules i quoted so because you decided to gloss over it here is the quote for this:

"Unsportsmanlike Conduct

• Botting
• Lag switching
• Disconnects (leaving the match before killed or sacrificed) - DO NOT REPORT
• For both Botting and Lag switching, in-game reports are REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket OPTIONAL

About Disconnects bans - DO NOT REPORT

Disconnects are handled by the disconnection penalty system. No further action will be taken on reports."

It is RIGHT THERE under unsportsmanlike conduct. as I said in my message it says do not report and covers that at the last because of the disconnection penalty system. Currently there are no penalties because the system has been taken down due to hacking that occurred and they are working to fix that. So there you go in black and white they will act, and can review the accounts that have been penalized and if they decide to they can stop your account. Speaking of your account, you bought the cartridge sure. they can not take away your physical copy because you own it, BUT they CAN block you from accessing the online content by banning the account you set up when you first applied the game in your switch, Playstation, Xbox, Microsoft Store and Steam. can you create a new account? yes but guess what, you wont have the same stuff and anything you've bough will have to be bought once again. I do not know how the switch works but you will probably have to make a new switch account in order to do this but that is my guess. same with your playstation or xbox.

You keep talking about my assumptions, I do not assume what you play on or through. I use steam as a general bit of information because I know steam quite well. Ask any dev if the have the right to deny your account access to the online content. You are the one trying to find the loop hole so you can be a crappy team mate and disconnect from a match. You are part of the reason that the penalties exist, you are part of the reason that people like me who very rarely get network issues and if i have one I will have to suffer a penalty. I've had this happen where my computer freezes up and thus I have to reboot my computer and when i come back I am out of the game (though the time it takes to relaunch i'm done with the 5 minute penalty as I don't just D/C for stupid reasons. you bought the game, you knew you would play against other people, and you accepted this but you decide that because they tunnel you or they camp you it's ok to dc. this is laughable and you are being selfish. (edit to add this) Oh and when the dc's happen when the match starts, or when i am the killer get the first person downed and then hooked, I don't under normal circumstances camp or tunnel intentionally. I clear the area around a hook looking for potential rescuers and then move on. If someone doesn't like the huntress with insta hatchets well, that's not a reason to disconnect as stated above. When I'm a survivor and I see someone disconnect right away or for any reason I look at it and say oh well looks like this game is a wash. I can't do anything more till I am out and then report the account for violating the rules. It is not how I play, it is how people are and believe they can do anything they want without penalty and that is not true.

About your first reply to me (yes I will not use a different message) You tell me to take my own advice and let him play his own way. well sure if he wants to play with sprint burst and walk around the map, or run I don't care how he plays. once he breaks the rules by disconnecting (listed above) this is different. If you are driving on any place that has a rule not to exceed a certain speed, sure they can do it but it breaks the law (rule), and thus they are subject to penalties and others can tell them that they are a danger to people because of their actions. thus with the rule in place that disconnecting is punishable, I can tell people to follow the rule, don't do it. will they continue to do it? perhaps but I will report anyone that dc's intentionally in the match. now that you know it is in the rules that disconnecting intentionally is there, you can decide how you wish to continue to play, but know that if you disconnect intentionally you can be punished and that is on you not me, I am trying to show people that they can't whine about anything that happens to them because of breaking the rules and if you want to get out of a match as a survivor, go find the killer get them to down you then hook you. once there attempt to escape from the hook and if you don't, don't struggle. I accept this is a valid way of leaving the match, a crappy way but it is not against the rules.

lol i do not know if I am to read this with sarcasm or not? I wish I could on a forum, text just does not do that justice. If this were a verbal discussion I'm sure I'd hear any sarcasm you have in this or not, but i would be speaking loudly enough or using a microphone to reach everyone in earshot! :)

LOL Thank you for the laugh today. =)

I hope you have a great weekend! <(^.^)>

I am not saying I am a mean or crappy player. Once again you assume and you seem to do that a lot.

Overall at the end of the day a D/C is still points gained and if you are having that big of an issue with that many D/C's ask yourself why people are D/Cing while you play killer or even survivor. IT may be YOU and the way you play causing people to D/C. I mean just from this post and looking back over your many other post about this same situation you seem to have a HUGE D/Cing issue. I am kind of thinking but not assuming the problem is you may be playing toxic and no one wants to play with toxic players. Me thinking by the way is not me assuming and instead asking you if you do anything toxic.

Do you tunnel or camp? Do you slug and let people bleed out? If so toxic behavior is met with toxic results like D/C's. I personally hate D/cing because how long games can take to find and load but I will not reward toxic behavior. Either way good day to you and hope you have better luck in your games. Live long and Don't D/C NANO NANO!

If they bring it back, then people will simply commit suicides on hooks and will gain incorrect bans for game errors or due to loss of connection / blackout etc.

so you don't even see what you said and how it is understood. "trapped in games with camp/tunnel killers" because you can't DC." this to me said that if you could DC you WOULD. that's why I responded the way i did. That is the attitude that perpetuates the idea it's ok to DC. do you want to rethink how you are playing? if you think you can't dc means you were thinking that you wanted to DC. simple as that, based upon what you said I followed the logic and reasoning.

Don't forget Samwise - we only have 3 lives IF your team gets you off the hook prior to the 1/2 way mark on the first hook and sometimes healed. Otherwise it's 1 or 2. The second hook is either 2nd phase fast or - insta-death. This is one reason why I go get my team off the hook ASAP. ;-) The longer we are all together, the better chances we also. Also from a killer's side - they hook anyone three times they get more points too! Win win!

😁

I don't know what I think of the old DC penalty system as I've not experienced it, however, I crashed a lot for bit in all sorts of circumstances... once a week. I did some tweaking and troubleshooting and it helped but it does still occasionally do it. I would hate to be punished for something I had no control over. I am sure my team in some circumstance thought I DC"d but there was no way I could tell them what happend.

I hope if and when it comes back it can tell the difference between a Crash and a DC.

We had one user a few weeks back that DC'd and then was in chat yelling at the killer after. I have no idea how they did that. I can't get back into a game after I crash (and that's probably because it's a crash) but also if I am watching a game and then go back to the main screen and hit any button I'm launched back to the lobby and can't get back in to watch the rest of the game.

EXACTLY. If a killer can’t win without tunneling every kill it ruins EVERY game.

Your right. But it doesn’t stop them from being called ass-hats, simple minded, selfish and lacks skill. But they can do it that’s for sure.

I just tried to escape from a hook instead of DC and I actually instead got off the hook. The killer was tunneling so of course he let me lay there as bait. At that point I wanted to DC so the other players don’t take time to find out there is no way to heal me. So not only did I sacrifice myself but I couldn’t even get out of the game unless I DC’d. WHY ARE YOU PLAYING IF YOU ONLY TUNNEL? Is it the points? Is it so hard to get points as a killer without just babysitting each kill? Do you lack the skills to play at the level you are playing at so you feel there is no choice.

This is my first time on the message board but it’s been on my mind over a week. Today it’s just out of control.

I don’t understand any “joy” or “fun“ when they play that way. It’s plain and simple. You suck at the game.

Do you really have this many people who D/C in your games? If so why when so many others do not have this issue? I am not assuming it is you but there has to be a root to the cause of your problem. I mean you posted at least 3 topics about D/Cing and now in this persons topic. I will say that there certainly are rage quitting babies who get downed once and quit but then there are those people that don't want to reward toxic behavior on either side.

If you are and it seems you may be having this big of an issue with that many D/Cing people in your games ask yourself why? I see maybe one D/C out of every 5 or 6 games but it sounds like and just asking but you are having this issue more often then not. I mean you seem to have this issue to the point it is ruining your game experience and not sure why it is happening to you that much.

Do you do anything toxic to rage people into quitting? Do you tunnel or camp? Do you slug and just let people bleed out which can make people mad? I mean the list goes on.

Then on survivor side they could be teabagging and be stuck as a killer against survivors out of your rank and this does happen. You could have a team mate and this has happened to me that kept letting the killer know where you are. The person kept opening the locker I was in and pointing to it. Their name was even Toxic* . The list goes on but there is many reasons people D/C. I hope you find the root of the reason you are having so many D/C's.

Players get hit once and D/C. Or get put on the hook the first time and D/C. I’ve watched killers sit there camping and obviously the player on the hook can see how close I am... and see how the killer isn’t budging.

I’m not toxic at all. I rarely comment or rate. I like to play fairly but these D/C are often players that I haven’t even interacted with in the game yet.

MY theory is the Birthday celebration got so many “newish” or “still learning” players to up their rank. Their skills aren’t improving. They just keep getting more and more things to take into the game. They keep ranking up. And they keep losing. Meanwhile due to the birthday cake they still get extra points no matter how bad they are. My theory is it’s a lot players who went up in rank before they should. So you have a rash of new killers that only know how to camp because they have no skill to kill without out it. And a ton of players who feel overwhelmed and D/C.

There's a lot of DCers here, wow, really shows why the penalty is needed.

If you already ranked up that high in 4 weeks than two things are happening. Your skills at escaping the killer haven’t developed so you are an easy hook. And then if the killer lacks skills too you sit there frustrated they won’t go away. I’ve been playing a lot since Quarantine so I went I think from upper 20’s to 12 since then and there were moments in the teens that I felt I was just out gamed. It stopped being fun. My BF also has an account and rarely played so I went back up to the 20’s to gain skills. I’m at 17 now on his but this week and my skills are MUCH better playing on an even playing field.

It’s not that I don’t understand giving up sometimes. I “sacrifice” myself all the time to “help” my “team” so they don’t waste their time with me on the hook. I don’t DC. I could. But that’s not my gameplay. I like working in a team and want my team to do the best they can.

I still think the birthday points ranked up too many players and killers who have no skills.

sore camping” is “a strategy. But no matter how you look at it I say it’s poor sportsmanship. And a player D/C straight out is wrong too... but I “GET” when the game starts. You sneak to a generator and bam end up on a hook 2 minutes into the fame. Of COURSE people are going to get raged.

it’s two fold. If killers want all the points they can get with practicing and getting better skills it’s on THEM to not just “win” but PLAY. It took me a long time to learn how to “escape” from a killer. I’m so much better than I was.

if people have ranked up SO high due to the birthday cake. The skilled players are getting unskilled players and every game is a frustrating loss. I played one game today that basically was hide and seek. The entire game. Which had its own element of fun but none of the players were skilled enough to do anything but hide and get saved from a hook.

im like. Can you all do your part together so we can get at least ONE generator done. It was like a 15 minute fame of running away and hiding. That isn’t a “fun” game for any of us. But I beg the killer was so happy to killer each tunneled player one by one. And I say “congrats.” You have no skills. Now You get more points to rank up and now go ruin someone else’s game.

I just don’t get the idea of needing points and using the birthday cake to rank up and then get to a point in your rank you shouldn’t be in. The “goal” shouldn’t be “how fast can I get the easiest amount of points to rank up and play more poorly.”

i loves getting all the points too but where’s the fun if it’s just about feeling like you ranked all the way with poor sportsmanship and are so unskilled THEY D/C. It’s a cycle that needs a solution.

CONTROVERSIAL: Negative points for tunneling less than 10 meters for longer than 5 seconds. Encourage killers to get the skills they need to play with better sportsmanship. Encourage the players to go for the hook and get better skills at getting chased.

I know that isn’t going to happen. And I know the killers will “hate it” but they also hate all the players who D/C due to their lack of skills to play any other way.

Exactly.

This should five people a perspective. I have all the DLC's.

Playing about 8 weeks. Keep in mind I work and am on call on my off days /time often.

My characters: 7 are at 50 - three of those P1, 4 are at 40+ and the remainder at at least 20. Only 1 is at level 5.

How's that for crazy leveling. I think too I have two killers at 5 .

Btw for this that you said "You sneak to a generator and bam end up on a hook 2 minutes into the fame. Of COURSE people are going to get raged."

You are being generous - it's usually 30 seconds in, sometimes 45. So I can see why someone would DC - but my thing is - as someone's teammate - please give me a chase to come get you before you decide to DC. I'm actually not to shabby at unhooking and I rarely let anyone hang for too long. Camping makes it harder, but with two us us - we can distract and get you. Give us a chance. That is what I'd like to say to DC'ers.

Thanks :-) I think that sounds like fun!

I'll be hooking up a mic again sometime this weekish. If we can get me to survive a chase beyond 10 secs - that'd be a win. I'm very much a team player myself. 🤗

I agree if you are off the hook and on a gen then by all means smack a ######### but if you see a survivor taking someone off the hook and rightfully choose to go after the one that got unhooked over the one who saved him then that is tunneling and you may not see it as a toxic behavior a legit strategy but, for the poor player who did not have a choice in the dumb survivor picking to take them off in front of the killer and then get smacked down, I can understand and even sympathize with them. I mean at that point just take the L and die on hook but at the same time they have a right to be upset if they never even got a chance to touch a gen or even play.

I agree D/Cing is annoying but who is to say the person D/Cing is doing it out of rage. You mention that there is 2 or 3 legit reasons to D/C but how would you know if the person D/C's by what you determine to be legit?

Also you say people take this game to serious but by complaining about someone D/Cing and robing you of fake make believe game points are you not yourself taking the game to serious instead of just saying oh well it is just a game? In the end the person that Rage Quits is to serious but the person that is that upset that someone quit a match is also taking the game to serious. I have D/C's in my game and I just laugh it off BECAUSE it is not a serious situation and at the end of the day I still get points and enjoyed myself because I did not take the game to serious but I tried.

Sorry. I mixed up my pronouns. I’m on the hook. The killer sits in front of me. The other player that would save me if the killer wasn’t camping sits and watches and then (I don’t blame them) give up and run to a generator because they also know it’s a waste of time and effort to play that way. It’s just POOR game play. On the killers part to not have any skills to actually play but instead just camp. When killers do that it’s not that I’m mad. I’m annoyed. I’m thinking are the points and the win mean so much to you, you just have to camp and can’t get any kills otherwise? No other skills besides sitting their. Watching. Waiting. It’s a waste of everyone times and it’s selfish and amateurish.

I disagree, I just did the "kill all 4 survivors by any means as Doctor" by using gross add ons. Got 3 DCs before my second hook, ez challenge.
