Anyone know the DC Penalty times?
So this is Time #2 when I got the "HOST DISCONNECTED penalty and am now sitting at a 15 minutes...
(Both times were not my fault as both times were these Host Disconnected errors but that's a different argument/discussion you can find all over the board. We're not here to discuss the "Fairness" of this)
I'm now kind of deciding if it's worth the risk of trying a few more games at this point or giving it some time to wipe itself out. I don't know if BHVR has anything "official" out there but does anyone know the time jumps?
As of now, I know it's 5 minutes to now 15 minutes. What would come next? How long until my exponential jumps stop (so in like...2 hours will my next DC be back down to 15 minutes or does it take days or what)?
Anyone know or at least have an idea?

Its two 5 minute penalties, two 15 minute penalties, two 30 minute penalties, then 1 hour, then 6, then 24, then 48. I don't know if it goes above that, but it does degrade after time, it just takes a while so if your game is crashing maybe take a break for about half and hour and try again so it doesn't get higher

It will still get higher if he keeps crashing after 30 minutes. I think it only decreases after 24hours

For the time being, I'm taking a break (I was going to anyway but this just moved the break up a few games). I'm just curious how much this is going to affect the rest of my weekend as Double BP and Spooky Time should make for a fun DBD weekend buuuuut...

Sorry this is ruining the double blood point event for you. I don't know of you play TF2, Ark or Overwatch but they have fun Halloween events going on right now if you wanna keep the mood going. Though TF2 is more a funny spooky mess, but still fun

Eh, ruin seems a bit strong (unless I keep getting disconnected I suppose and it exponentially kicks me out of the weekend D:)

Do the penalties ever reset?

Yes but in diminishing returns. A 48 hour lockout "Memory" remains longer than a 5 minute one.
You might DC once time and get a 5 min lockout, and then 12 hours later get a 5 min one again; but if you left after a 48 hour lockout 12 hours after it expired you would probably get an even longer lockout or possibly a short ban.

It goes once you hit 24 hours it adds 24 hours disconnected from the internet and same with the game i have now a 72 hour ban its so fuck8ng annoying

It doesn't. Lol I'm having internet issues and I managed to stack up 15 minutes penalty and I didn't play once for a couple days, internet dipped again and 15 minutes was slapped on. I heard it resets after a week but idk I haven't tested it yet cuz I haven't been on lol
