Leaver penalty should be removed again (..bcs of hackers!)
Hello, my fellow friend of the fog! :)
Its my first post here and its because of something which is destroying the game for me atm. And not only for me. We're experiencing a lot of Hackers lately. Most of the time its a Spirit or a Nurse. I mean, they'll get banned in within 24 hours, which is great! Keep that going.
But because of those encounters, we're getting leaver penaltys without even dc'ing. We ended up at 1 Hour the last time…we can't really play in EU at Evening/Nighttime because we get Hackers a several times. Thats why I think, we should delete the penalty again. I mean, we're getting bots in our matches now if someone dc's so I think that penalty can be removed again.
….and yeah, i'm wiriting this because i'm currently banned from the q bcs of that hacker. :')

Same problem. Regular players are forced to get PUNISHED for leaving matches. They also advertise twitch channels.

Of course we need to take measures against cheaters, but if the penalties are not made heavier, soloQ will not be able to be played properly because there will be more and more people giving up and disconnecting. In the last few days, I have only been able to play properly in PTs where I have a guarantee that other teammates will not give up.

…but it can't be a thing that hundreds or more survivors arent able to play the game because we're getting an hacker invasion. Its not playable for a lot of players at the moment. I can play like 1-2 Rounds and then I'll get a hacking Nurse / Spirit again. Penalty. I play 1 round…normal. Next Round..same Hacker. Penalty. Repeat.

Unfortunately, this is an unsustainable approach. The problem is not the DC punishment but the hackers.
For example, if there is a problem with the repair speed of the generators, the solution is not to remove the generators, I hope that is understandable.
A useful cheat protection should finally be developed, or a basic server validation.
As of now Dec24, DBD is a game like no other designed for hackers, period.2 -
Yea, i totally understand that! I mean, it dont need to be forever.
Maybe just for a short amount of time until they can handle it, because its so extrem in europe atm. Its just frustrating for us EU Players. Last night i literally had to stop again because ive faced the same nurse again on another account and Ive got an penalty again. I mean, they ban them instantly which is great…but phew..those hackers are stubborn af.

I'm pretty new to this but i understand the mechanics and have read a lot on the wiki.
Forgive me for saying but I wanted to DC so badly just now. Just had a Speed hacker by the name of 'ZOMBEANO_' . Dude was speeding in front of me. I caught the whole lobby but him. The only way was at the end when they were doing the gate. I had checked at the end each persons perks and the ones with 'speed' perks were still slower than this user. Alas, a killer is faster. A killer should never have a chase going on for 30sec-1min+. This goes against the programming of the game. No perk by this user could outlast me or run at such speeds. There was one with haste when i carry a body but i had no body on my shoulders.
Even when blinking to them, as nurse, they were somehow in front of me. I baited them and just kept a straight line. They were still zooming by each second passing, crazy.
They need to remove the Dc penalty. In my humble opinion i should not have to be forced to endure such a match whilst giving the pleasure to hackers. Even if i pushed through and great, i won, it was very, very upsetting to see this. I had realised within the first 15secs of the run that what was happening was impossible.
That's my personal opinion.0 -
Nah, I would just create give up system to enable free DC in edge case scenarios (like holding hostage) and then increase the penalty instead.

I dont think you understand my problem.
I'm sorry that you've met a hacking survivor when you played nurse. Its annoying. I can feel that.
The problem is, that we have an invasion of hacking nurses atm in EU and they literally locking our matchmaking because the game isnt even 30seconds long. Within 24 hours we've met the same one a few times which leaded us to an 1 hour penalty. If you look on social media (tiktok is actually a good example atm) you'll find a lot of videos of that.
I'm all in for harsher penaltys for those players who dc on purpose bcs they dont want to play against Killer XY or something, but in that case it should be disabled for a while, so we dont need 2 worry about getting blocked again.1 -
Here's where most players aren't understanding the OP's post. A LOT of the hackers going around can force you to disconnect from a game, literally kick you out of the game, and the player suffers the DC penalty when they in no way DC'd on their end. It just happend to me and I got an 8 hour ban and I haven't even played in a month.

They need to do something about hackers giving DC penalties for no reason as part of the hack. I think removing it isn't an answer but maybe capping it at one hour at most might help until they can do something about this.
