The DC penalties need to be fixed.

I just ranked up from 15 after grinding I decided to prestige since it’s the blood rush event so I played as my killer (I’m rank 18) I spent all my bloodpoints on my survivor. The next day, I load up my survivor and I play 1 game where I’m lagging and it’s a legion. I check my ping and I’m 800 ms but when I’m really laggy it’s usually 100. I hid in the killer shack to mend then since I lag I go into the closet when I come out I’m effected by iron maiden. But then the second I start to mend I lag out and I go from rank 14 with 1 PIP to talk 15 with 2 PIPs. The DC penalties need to be sort out or someone else is going to get the some problem as me.

    If you are disconnecting because of bad internet then de-pips are the least of your worries. Wait until the ban timer kicks in...

    Also, dont worry about rank so much. Enjoy the lower ranks while you still can. Nothing but pain awaits you at the higher ranks.

    If I get banned the only thing I’ll be sad about is my p3 character and I lost my event items but I can’t enjoy the lower ranks when all my solo queen teammates are unreliable. Also if I get banned I’ll try and reach out to BHVR. But I wouldn’t have cared if I lost a PIP I lost 3 causing me to rank down that’s why I’m a bit angry.

    the ban isnt permanent but it gets longer the more you dc. It can be annoying but bhvr wont do anything about it, you just have to wait it out.


    Ive had a few cooldowns from my internet going out briefly and it is annoying when that happens. Its also annoying that the lost pips are so inconsistant. Sometimes its one, sometimes its two and occasionally its three. I don't really care about rank that much but Im usually around rank 1 and when I lose my fancy little killer/survivor logo at the bottom of my rank its a bit sad lmao
