PTB Needs a DC Penalty.

in 8.3.0 PTB Feedback

It's a joke trying to test any changes when 1 chase in survivors insta DC because there are 0 consequences for their actions. Literally any of the slightest of minor inconveniences to them and they DC which on a server where one sides queue times are always massive, it results in never getting to even get a feel for anything because waiting 15 minutes for a match for someone to DC 1 minute in means you will never realistically get the one perfect match where people actually decide to play the game.

It's constant, rampant and quite frankly incredibly boring to even bother trying any of the PTB changes for either side when DCing is as rampant as it is. Simply trying to get a match where people don't DC is borderline impossible.

Put a penalty in for DC'ing on the PTB so there is an actual downside to doing it like on live (link it into the live DC penalty too otherwise they would just DC on the PTB until the DC penalty reaches 1 day+ then go back to live).

    Dc penalty would not be enough to discourage dcs on PTB it would have to be Perma Bans on this and future PTBS

    No.

    Because it is for testing. You see a lot content creators test a specific thing and then dc to test the next one.

    But you have a good example what would happen if the dc penalty was removed from the main game as a lot demand.

    No.

    I'm for a higher DC penalty in the live game but in the PTB it makes no sense. It's a testing environment, not a play-ground preview.

    There may be some inconvenience with people leaving but activating DC penalties will only make testing specific stuff more difficult.

    Beside what if somebody finds a broken mechanic that only needs to be reported here without having to suffer it more than necessary in the match?

    Or a bug that freezes people?

    It's to avoid players getting penalties for leaving a match, if a game-breaking bug happens. Which makes seeing as it's a test build.
