DC issues and Bans are WRONG - focus on bugs for one full release!

Wait because they give you an option to do something that the rules clearly state is against and you do it anyways. There's very few games out there that don't punish you for dcing in some shape, form or fashion and to earn a ban you have to do it a lot.

So from the title i thought "bullshit".

How an Earth do you ban people for using a menu option YOU give them?

This actually makes sense to me. I do think that the bans for continuous abuse of disconnects is fine, but i also think they should let people know the risks.

So this guy says that it "clearly" states that its against the rules, and then links to a forum post.
It's not clearly stated when you have to go to a website to read it.
When the punishment is a ban, i think there should be a prompt in the game explaining this when you click disconnect.

I don't really get the whole rant about the bugs. Yes they should be fixed, but I just haven't experienced any.

TOS/EULA which you agree to when installing the game, I linked to the forum post since that was updated. Besides common sense dictates if you quit during a game there's going to be a punishment. If we follow the op's logic because there's a power button on the computer pressing it means they won't get punished for quitting by turning off the computer.

TOS/EULA is not "clearly stated", and is not a binding contract in many cases. In general, a service provider can obviously ban you for whatever reason they see fit, but you don't have to be okay with it.
The key is whether the service provider allows the user reasonable notice and opportunity to review the terms before using the website or service.

I do realize that this i about legality, but i still feel that it is applicable.

That's a quite the straw man. BHVR didn't have anything to do with your computers power button. It's essentially an external or "third party" element, as it resides outside of their game's environment.

As i previously stated, I'm fine with banning people who DC, but there should be a prompt telling you that continuous DC's can get you banned.

Maybe you should use common sense. If that doesn't work, read the rules of the game.

DCs are a massive problem, especially for solo players. 1 DC pretty much gives a free win for Killer, and it made data inaccurate on kills.survived.

from what you wrote you sound like those ppl who abuses it, people like you needs to be perm ban, they ruined so many of my games and many others

DC instantly when downed, trolling etc

You don't get banned for one DC. You get banned when you constantly DC. If you don't have the time to play an online game, then go play a single-player game that has an actual pause button instead of ruining the experience for everyone else. Your real-life limitations are just that: yours.

I'm aware of that, but "constantly" doesn't mean that all the DC's occur in a single day.
I have on occasion left a game because my "real-life limitations" (AKA being an adult with money that pay for the game) dictated that i had to, but not enough to be at risk of a ban, I would assume.
As i see it, there are two problems that cause this split.
1: the prompt one, which i have explained multiple times.
-If there was a prompt, then I think it's all fair game.
2: the remaining players gets punished.
-If the killer leaves, you loose offerings.
-If a survivor leaves, the team is at a disadvantage.
-If a survivor leaves, the killer "wastes" his add-ons.

You sound like the kind of "adult" who thinks they're entitled to [BAD WORD] over everyone else just because they paid for something.

If you don't have time to play online games, then don't play them. Know your limitations instead of making them everyone else's problem.

And you sound like the kind of child who takes their games way too seriously.
Lets just agree to disagree.

I'm an adult myself, FYI. I just don't want my gaming experience ruined because some guy thinks that paying for a service gives him the right to screw over everyone else. If you're not using the product properly, you get punished. If you can't use the product properly, that's your problem.

Yeah i know, it was just too good of a zinger to let go.
But I think you keep misreading me. I don't disconnect from games constantly. I don't feel entitled to do so, but I do have a life that on occasion needs more attention than a video game.
The guy who gets calls from his job all the time is not me, that was just an example (perhaps a poor one, i don't know), but a guy like that would probably be happy to get a prompt reminding him, that he will get banned. Then he could choose when to play the game with more care.

@powerbats said:
@Lagoni The thing to realize is that the person that has the occasional real life issue come up isn't going to ever get a ban over this. The only ones complaining about this are those that dc at a high rate and thus get a ban they deserve.

I'm perfectly aware. My only issue is, that there should be a prompt when disconnecting. I'M aware that continuous disconnects can get me banned, but with a prompt, the whole issue would be gone and dealt with. No more complaining, because it's right there in the game.
I don't really know when and how this discussion derailed into what it became.

Morf_UK just DC'd because the killer wanted him to farm - where is his ban? Will they ban a popular streamer? or ignore it because he basically advertises the game.

Vinc3ntVega DC's and there is a DBD employee as a moderator in his stream - conflict of interest much? Both Vince and that employee should get bans.

Let's see those bans Devs - fair is fair.

Sure. Their DCs just have to be in the required percentage.

DC sucks for every one and should be banned. However I understand your frustration when the killer uses that dumb perk to camp. First time this happened to me I dc but I don't care anymore and you should too.

Look at it in this scenario... your being face camped hard... team are doing gens pretty quick and killer is not going to leave... why would i waste my time gaining no points on a hook whilst the killer wracks up some amount of points for my eventual death ,when i can CHOOSE to LEAVE MATCH ,as is stated by there esc menu, and move onto a better match. In that case my dc wasnt going to be making one amount of difference to the rest of my team as im pretty much serving no use on a hook. I mean how the hell are the devs actually calculating a dc... daily, weekly, monthly? they havnt satated the ratio nor over how many days they are monitoring a person dcing to warrant the ban hammer. Also are they saying dc'ing at ANY point of game under ANY circumstance is ban worthy... or do they actually timestamp the dc in a particular gam,e and look into the possible reasoning behind it... I can honestly say alot of dc's iv witnessed or done myself have been caused by crap killer gameplay... i.e full out target tunneled of hook or blatantly face camped... regardless whether these strategies work or not the devs need to start admitting that this gameplay is causing nothing but annoyance for survivors ... we all want points or rank or both, No need for the scummy toxic gameplay every damn game.
