Should BHVR remove or lessen the DC penalty since bots have been added?

RoyalSpectre · July 2023

Since bots have been added to replace those that no longer wish to participate in a game they might not be having any fun in, should the dc penalty remain the same? I feel it is an unfair punishment to have a stackable penalty if you are continually queue sniped/targeted/or otherwise placed with the same killer (not player) repeatedly and don't want to continually play the same person and/or killer. the remaining players are not punished because an NPC fills the roll that would be vacant otherwise.

The penalty should be increased.

increase penalty. Killers dont like facing bots. DCs still make the game less fun for 1 player, just not everyone like before.

I think they should at least make a way to tell the difference between your game crashing and you dcing. I got a 2 minute ban the other day because my game crashed.

I think there should be a way to not give a penalty to the ones who’ve gotten one because of technical issues, completely unfair when it isn’t your fault you crash. Now I wait 6 hours……

The penalty should be more, and the bots should be a rarity when someone loses internet not playing every single match.

Lessened, there's too many ways for killers to play with the goal of making the gameplay worse that can't really be fixed without that fix being abused. There would 100% still be a pen to punish ppl who just rage dc or map cherry pickers

Lessened and some way to tell if someone willingly disconnected. Maybe even offer the ability to join back and take over the bot.

And to clarify I think it shouldn't be able to go past 10 hours. I think it should go to about 5 and if you keep leaving after 5 it bumps up to 10.

You left out the "increase the penalty" choice that 50+% would choose.

The bots are useless, they need to train the bots so they do not run around and sabotage the game. I had one 99 a door and as I ran towards the door with the killer right on my tail it just walked away. With the old system I could have got the hatch. It would also be nice to have at least bot killers to even out the nonsense. I hate trying to do a daily and have the killer DC because they got outplayed and you can't open an exit gate to complete your daily task. Even if the killer bot just stood there it would at least allow you to get bloodpoints for the rest of the game. If the killer dcs early it is a waste of time, low scoring, and you will derank.
