So DC = Hatch exploit is still in the game?

so if the killer got extra 2 kills survivor at least should have safety pip when someone dc at the start of game. what happen now is usually survivor dc on the first hook or beginning of game and almost every survivor would depip.

sorry it sucks for killer but sucks more for survivor if someone dc

I will describe a situation where this happens, but obviously it does not concern me at all. It concerns a friend, and I advise against doing like this friend. (I am unfortunately obliged to say it this way to avoid any ban...)

Me and my friend have been playing together recently, and we are not using any communication. Think of it as soloQ.

When the situation is (too) difficult because of the snowball in this game, when the killer forces his 4k with the 3rd survivor slug, and when the two survivors manage to resist and bring the other out of the dying state regularly. After a while this friend is fed up, and he leaves. This friend has no idea if I'm next to the hatch, or if I know where it is. The situation is blocked, he unblocks it to put an end to this absurd game. He accepts his 5 minutes because it is not impossible that the game will continue like this for another 5 minutes. I understand this altruistic friend (but I totally disapprove of this action, of course!). And sometimes I get the hatch, sometimes not.

I accept that survivors have to shoulder all the misery in the world, but don't overdo it either. The killers also have their responsibility. And first of all: the game itself is problematic. These situations would probably not happen or less if the snowball were less strong, if the game was more balanced, since the survivors would die later and thus find themselves less stuck two against impossible goals and a killer making the game last for secure the 4k.

And as a reminder: when the survivors dominate, can exit at 3, but try to save a survivor in difficulty. They take risks, they can make the situation worse, and whatever the killer does is "strategic" when the survivors will be blamed for their altruism. Where is the equivalent, with the killer, in such situations?

From the amount of gens that were left, Hatch wouldn't have even spawned yet when you say they were 'Looking for Hatch'. There has to be two gens left for two survivors to look for hatch.

If I had to guess, sounds like one survivor didn't feel like dealing with that, or perhaps just had something come up, and DC'd. The guy who didn't just got lucky with hatch spawning near him. (Which can happen in any game which goes down to hatch.)

Sounds like the mechanic is working as intended.

Stop trying to frame the situation presented by OP as something else. Someone intentionally de-ranking won't wait for at least 6 hooks to DC, they do it seconds into the game.

Also, this game is not a MOBA and, as much as I hate people suiciding on hooks or DCing, no one should be stuck in a match they don't want to play.

Finally, on a personal note, I do play killer/survivor and face my fair share of DCs. I don't "give a damn about a hatch escape" or pretend to know "how things actually work in the game", I know how they work for me. But if the other team took a major BP and PIP loss to cut the match short, then I made a good job at depriving them of hope.

Suggestion which doesn't fix the problem 100% but helps mitigate it:

Whenever a survivor DC, instead of dropping down like a potato sack, the entity takes the corpse like it does at the end of EGC, and hatch opens only after the animation is completed

1) it doesn't matter if there are 0 hooks or 6, i've seen people dc and don't give a damn BECAUSE it deranks them.

2) if the game applies what would be awarded for the loss of the survivor and properly awarded there wouldn't be an issue. "Hook suicides" I don't care about because the killer gets one hook, and three stagings just as if someone was left on first hook to be sac'd. I think the killer should have an option to give up, and by extension it should apply to survivors too, but right now if the killer gives up survivors get 20K bps collectively (5K each) and in the proper place. killers get 650 or 625 points applied in brutality and not sacrifice, as well as don't get the hook staging points plus atleast one hook (per person) that means they get 2500 for all 4 to dc in brutality. yet the survivors get 5K each if the killer drops? no this is not done well enough currently to expect that it should could just have a give up put in.

I agree with you about how to take a dc in game as a killer, and i too play both sides but i look to see how the game does things in order to understand how i get what I have. this is why I speak out on the forums even when it's an unpopular opinion but I also take into account as many sides to the argument as I can when I reply. What I talked about was an MMO, not a moba but the principle of leaving the instance is the same as leaving the match in dbd that's why I used the comparison and even talked about what they can do in the mean time as well, again it is a comparison as there is no direct corelation to dbd except with say fortnite, or COD etc but even that is different enough that making comparisons makes things not the best in comparisons.

IMO any time spent on this issue is better spent on other things.

I would even say, the time you spent to write this post was already too much for how rare this actually happens. So if the Devs need to spend more than 10 minutes to fix it, it is already not worth the time.

IDK, I think that being impaled, strangled and stabbed in the head from a chaotic deity is enough punisment for someone who dcs 😂

On top of the 5 minutes penalty, 0 bloodpoints and depip of course

i have never said the devs HAVE to find a way to stop it, but if someone thinks of a good way and the devs like it then it is time well spent.

that is what is currently happening and it still hasn't stopped it or really curbed it. so honestly more penalty should be assesed with a chance for a person to submit a ticket to have the disconnect reviewed.

I was referring to the previous suggestion I made, which is:
