    If you think that bots or survivor's shells will stop DC's or help overall with the game: you are wrong. It's like implementing bots or singleplayer to a multiplayer game when game is bleeding it's community because how bad it is. It's not about covering DC's with punishment or something else, but about figuring reasons why people are pushed to DC. Developers need to focus on fixing game balance and bugs instead, and only then implementing something like that.

    You do realize the game has more players every day, there are massive and positive communities - not on this forum or reddit, but in twitch chats and discords - and that your comment has more to do with your own agenda than reality, and there is data to back up that you're wrong, right?


    And that's just steam. Consoles have even more.

    Agreed to what @Xayrlen wrote. First of all, BHVR should remove/rework the obvious things which make Killers or Survivors DC, stuff like Iri Head, Moris, bad Map Design (looking at Ormond or Haddonfield here) or simply Bugs like the Hill-Bug. So that the number of players who DC out of frustration is lowered. Sure, there will be the Killer who DCs when two Gens got done before he got a Hook because they think they already lost and there will be the Survivors who DC against a fair-playing Clown. This cannot be avoided.

    But at least the DCs because of the imbalanced things in this game can be lowered.

    When it comes to Bots, I hope I never see them ingame. It would actually remove more fun than playing a 3v1 because of a DC or getting kicked out of a Match because the Killer DCed. I dont care if a Bot fills up the DCed Survivors Spot, the Bot will most likely not be really helpful and it is lost anyway. And I dont care about going on to play against a Bot Killer, because I play a Multiplayer game to play against other players which human intelligence. And not some, probably weak, AI.

    The only benefit of Bots would be for Killers, since they get to farm more points of them. But if that is really a reason to put time and effort into creating Bots... I think there are more important things to do.

    Players DC over the pettiest reasons. Didn't hit DS - DC. First downed so no Deliverance - DC. Killer they do not want to face - DC. Killer playing them out - DC. Sure there are "legitimate" reasons for DC, but I would argue the DC's just out of bad spirit are far more prevalent. This type of DCs cannot be fixed, they do not have a technical cause, but just the mindset of the player.

    I guess no one's thinking of a bot replacing a killer. It's always gotta be a DCing survivor replaced by bot. I would actually use this bot as a placeholder for another real player, similar to other games like Rocket League. That means, if one survivor DCs, a bot automatically enters and continues with the game. If the person DCing starts a new lobby, they will automatically be put back into the trial they just left, as long as the trial is still running. This way, players with a crash would have a chance to rejoin the game if they are fast enough. And salty players refusing to join again have to wait for the trial to finish until they can enter a new one, similar to a short-time ban. We could even think about a means to let other players fill in, if they are willing to enter an already running match. The fill-ins could take over all BP and Emblem Points earned by the DCed player, but would never lose a pip. They could also get an additional BP bonus, like 5k, for joining late.

    It won't stop DC's but it'll make the game a whole of a lot better.


    Why the ######### is the DC'd survivor's body just an uninteractable waste of space? Let me slam that mofo on a hook for my BBQ stack or mori it for a tome related challenge. It'd also get rid of DCing to open the hatch which is such a ######### bullshit strategy,


    Literally the only argument I have EVER heard against the husks is the killer is getting points he "Doesn't deserve" if he's playing toxic and making survivor's DC. Yeah because me hitting a guy the first time I spot him makes me toxic apparently,
