this game is soooo bad right now

Cross progression isn't as easy as it may seem, especially considering they have to get sony to agree to this. A deal that would likely cost BHVR alot of money, im not sure if Microsoft are cool with it, but sony being sony, I can guarantee that making Cross progression from playstation is a huge hassle

I was just thinking, instead of increasing the time penatly, how about DCers get a BP-penalty for the next game(s)?

So e.g. when DCing the first time, they earn 25% less. With the next DC it's 50% less, then 75% and ultimately they would get nothing. But they still have to play reasonably well to get rid of that penatly (getting safety pip or earning at least 10k BP base), to prevent them just killing themselves right away to get rid of the penalty.

Another thing is, we REALLY need bots in trials at least for the survivor side, so when a killer dc's the character is replaced by a bot. Or even backfilled with another play with increased BP for the backfiller. We could also remove the time penalty with this, instead the DCer would have to wait until the game he dc'ed from finished, with the opportunity to get back into the game (if not already back-filled with someone else). Such a system would also help with unintended DC due to poor connection / game crashes.

Allow us to move on with our lives.

And what are those core issues?

Best description I've ever seen on why people DC/hook suicide, posted by CluelessWanderer:

"I think this is it, as much as people don't care about it and prefer to blame it on salt.

Under the old Rank system sure, there were D/C's, but nowhere near what I'm seeing now (in my experience anyways) and I play Solo Q exclusively. It's been particularly exacerbated by Patch 6.1. Fact is, BHVR's matchmaking is absolutely awful for Solos. Almost every decent perk that made a huge difference for Solo Q players were entirely gutted to help Killer's deal with SWF's better. They deactivated end game perks for us that used to maybe allow us to get a clutch escape or clutch saves. Every change has discouraged altruism and team work in Solo Q meaning you can rely on your team mates even less than before, as more and more we're seeing selfish builds/playstyles. They made keys useless, nerfed the hatch- most Killers released have been high mobility, range or teleporting so if you're the last survivor, getting an Exit gate is basically impossible.

Solo Q is so miserable at the moment it's depressing, and I think disconnects are a symptom of a player base fed up. They WANT to play, they love DBD, been playing for years maybe; but it's demoralizing to load into a match, hear a squeal of a Nurse and a down in 6 seconds, see the next team mate hook grabbed immediately- and know not only is the game lost, but you won't even get any decent blood point compensation. So there you are wasting your time in a hopeless situation for 10 mins. Enjoy your 5k BPs. You can buy yourself a brown tool box, generator instructions, or maybe a green broken key on a Blood web where half the items are obsolete.

Majority of D/C's are when a survivor is being camped at 4-5 gens. It happens all the time and significantly increased after 6.1 . I'd say 80% of the disconnects I see happen when a hooked survivor is being camped, or else when that survivor is tunneled and downed immediately after they're unhooked. People are sick of it. I was being face camped by a Pinhead once, a survivor came to unhooked me, saw me being camped (at 4 gens) and he just d/c'ed right then and there. He was just out of there.

I've experience banks of matches where the Killer 4k's like, 10 matches in a row too. But according to BHVR, my MMR should be so low after that it will adjust accordingly, right? But it doesn't seem to and I just get paired with 2 survivors new to the game, a survivor who is competent and a Killer that has 3k hours. That's not a balanced, working MMR. Especially in a game where one inexperienced team mate can tank the game for the rest of us.

So I think the general attitude of Solo Q players is one of exasperation, hopelessness, and resignation. When you log in, you mentally prepare yourself for absolute BS. If you actually have a normal match where the Killer isn't overpowered (meaning mis-matched and much more experienced than the survivor team), and isn't camping/tunneling, and if all your team mates are competent, it's a pleasant surprise rather than the norm. If you actually escape? Like... shocking.

BHVR should be looking at the disconnect trend, and how it's increasing. They also have to look at WHY and do something productive. Just punishing Solos for it won't be effective. It will just be a bandaid fix and survivors will merely hook suicide."

Legion hitched after every vault, to explain this, basically if Legion was to vault a pallet or window they would lose momentum for a little bit, causing extra drain in their power and the survivor to gain a little distance
