Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Can we start punishing people like this

Screenshot 2026-01-08 163805.png

Like I was pointing out the fact that I should not have to physically push out every single player and that they were being sore winners. It was a 4 man out. This is why people quit the game. This is who BHVR caters to and I'm sick of it. I'm so close to uninstalling.

    My answer to that is tunnel… survivors dont like it but when you get things like that time and time again it makes you realise it doesnt matter what they like.

    Devs really need to implement stronger punishment against toxic players. Shouldn't be forced to disable the chat to avoid everything. Since survivors are more likely to be toxic in end game chat there's no reason to play 'nice'. Pick whatever killer and play as scummy as you want that's within the games rules.

  • They shouldn't hold me hostage just because they wanna bag lol

    The David player should get a ban for calling you that. Hope you reported.

  • I guarantee nothing going on in the david's life justifies what they said lol

  • I stream dbd. I like people being able to find me after matches and talk to me and see that I'm a chill gal.

    I'm not justify what he said my point more being "well you got to say something like that in a game you got more issues going on in your personal life" meaning anyone who gets messages like this should remember that and not take what was said to heart.

    It needs to be said End game chat either needs to be removed or heavily monitored its purpose is only for toxic players to say nasty comments and leave.

    Players just leave toxic comments and leave when there sacrificed from the map maybe at least the messages should get deleted if the players leaves or just permanently ban any sort of negativity

    Unfortunately, such SWF groups make the majority of the playerbase, so the devs prioritize their experience. If they lose, they can just abandon without a penalty with the new feature, but if the killer loses, he is forced to endure the 2 minutes of teabagging. With the unhookable sabo squads who don't even push gens, newer killers will have to endure for 10 (ten) minutes, and that's if survivors don't do one gen in 9 minutes, while survivors can just leave without penalty the moment they fall on the ground.

    There is not much you can do while the devs support this survivor-favored philosophy. You can just give up and stop trying to chase them the moment you understand the game is unwinnable, so that survivors lose interest and get salty about you giving up in the end-game chat. Otherwise, pick a stronger killer, hard tunnel the first one out, nod to them on the hook and trample them on the ground, do this with randoms, even if it's "undeserved", just like SWFs do this to undeserving killers. Until the survivors get the taste of their own medicine, they will never learn.

    I stopped playing killer as much because there's not much fun in having survivors drag out the exit timer (almost to the point of actual death) because they want to get in those last couple bags. And it doesn't matter how you play, either. Extra nice or extra competitive. I once had a Sable rage quit because I was playing nice wraith in a Halloween event.

    My advice would be to go into settings and make everything anonymous and turn off chat. If it makes you feel any better, I always feel bad when I can tell a killer has had a bad game. I'm not at the exit gleefully squeeling thinking "Hehe EEZ noob killer. They should uninstall!" And I think people who think like that are kind of the vocal minority on here. The majority of survivors just shuffle out the door and you never see or hear from the again. But the ones who bag make the experience so miserable they might as well BE the majority.

    I wish it felt like more was done about this. I'd much prefer an in-game PM system. The extra step would make people do this less. That's one reason people barely do it on console. That, and harsh punishments. But if you really are genuinely close to quitting over this then close the chat. Console players play without it and we all seem less tilted about the toxicity in the community.

    Eh, I do not particularly care, but the majority of survivors DO need to be pushed out. I genuinely feel awkward as the only person who leaves. There is part of me that wants to stay just in case they mess up and need help out. The other part just wants to move on once the game is over.

    It is super rare for survivors to leave without the killer's gaze. Albeit, sometimes you have a challenge. Protection hits are easiest at exit gates. I died for that challenge the other day. Ha ha

    Idk what got their nerve but maybe nothing you did was so bad its just their salt because now their feel good at beating one of weakest killers in the game that (player) didnt even sweat and played chill its just a thing that cant be changed and only thing you can do is to ignore it at best or return the favor.

    Yeasterday I went with ghoul against 4 man one ttv and 2 of them were cheaters (they were deffinitely togeather becasue of how they tried bait me directly to lockers and the teaming plus lot of salt in chatt to) with things like infinite headon, flashlight saving through walls, instant healing before my cooldown went away and they bodyblock or tried bait me to locker basicaly game that you cant beat because the odds for may win were like toddler vs adulescent ufc champion in that match but thats just DBD moment (I havent seen teleports or super sonic speed cheats but i bet they had them because they got across the map fast not to mention that global sabbo cheat), like this one you had but with the chatt thing its in every game and way worse because here is atleast some censorship so the racist and other bs things cant be used directly just ignore it or retturn the favor but i dont think this will ever be punished (unless they somehow track your profile and do more bs like insulting you on other platforms etc. than maybe somehow but what are the odds in that).

    Thing is people dont take this as a fact but you have higher chance to get insults like this as killer than survivor because you are alone and chance you somehow (by total nothing or just existing that means lot to people like these) trigger some of them and if its swf well its 100% guarantee that if just one starts to insult you other will help him for the "fun" or hold his back if you react back I wish for every swf like this that p100 sweatiest ghouls and blighs that destroy them like a nothing but reality is they get more weaker killers I bet.

    Well there is always two sides of the coin. (Becareful rant)

    On one hand, you could just close the chat. On the other… this should not be the solution. If the chat is abused for toxic behaviour it should be BHVR to implement punishments for the abuser.

    This is one thing I don´t like from this community. The mentality of "Just look away or get tough skin." That is not a solution, that is just let us abuse the others as we please move on and we are all happy. That is disgusting to be friendly with my words.

    The thing with Survivors leaving is another. Till today not a single soul could give me an argument why a Killer should not have the abbandon button if the gates are opend and all survivors are standing behind the gate or close in front of it. Funny enough it is the Survivor side which is crying and kicking really hard that the Killer should grow a pair and watch them bm while many of them are trying to justify an abbandon option if the Killer has a higher ping.

    What would happen if the Killer gets the option to abbandon if all Survivors are in the safe zone? Well… Survivors would get the escape, what an horrible imagination.

    I wouldn´t normally be pissed about this topic but I see this more and more in my games. Survivors willingly standing 10+ Minutes on the hatch waiting for the Killer to come close like… don´´t you have better things to do? In these 10 minutes you could have played nearly 2 games.

    Trying to police everyone's words is pretty hard, and they can still be cruel even without breaking any rules. If other people's words are affecting you so much that it alters your gameplay or makes you want to quit, then you should stop engaging with those words. There's a point where an external solution isn't in sight so you need to do something yourself. Why keep involving yourself with something that makes you feel bad?

    We don't need anymore abandon features, we need less. It's disengaging to be able to just leave when the game hasn't come to a proper conclusion. It's also screwing up personal stats for survivors. Let's not screw up killer ones too.

    There's been plenty of other reasons, like challenges and adepts not counting, because of the lack of killer bots in place. Add the bots and fix the stats then fine, I guess, but it's still lame to just leave.

    And when your MMR gets high enough that you're facing SWFs that can counter your tunneling attempts, I'm sure they're WAY less likely to be toxic. Definitely.

    I’ve reported people multiple times for extremely vile things in chat like encouraging self-harm or wishing harm on family members. I’ve never received any notifications that anyone was banned for it. So this type of thing will keep happening if nobody ever gets punished for it.

    I've only received one notification for "actions taken" for communications abuse I reported, for the whole time I've been playing this game and reporting obvious bannable stuff, in 1k hours. So technically they do, but very rarely. Of course I've reported countless occurrences of such crap, including what you described and much much more, but only one chat box ever warranted a ban, and of course I had no way of knowing what exactly it was. My guess is that they only ban for some specific words, like racist and homophobic slurs, while they can tell you to off yourself as much as they want as it's not in the list of banwords.
