Who DCs at the beginning of the trial deserves the MOST SEVERE PENALTY!!!

I have always been a moderate user, but now patience is over! For three matches in a row I met fellow bastards, who disconnected an instant after the start of the game, while the camera was still circling around me. The developers have done an excellent job in setting up an automatic system for canceling the game if someone disconnects during loading, but some infamous and unworthy people enjoy circumventing the protection, disconnecting when the game has started, which means 3 survivors, 5 gens and depip inevitable. In two cases out of three, one guy committed suicide on the first hook after the DC and, in all three games, the killer refused not to farm, because I'm glad they sacrifice me and score points, but to grant us the opportunity to safe pip. I wrote to one of the survivors, who candidly admitted that he wanted to derank up to 15, starting from 5, and that he didn't give a damn about ruining the rank of the others.

This sewer of users must be punished with severe penalties: I can have patience for those who camp, for those who tunnel, for the companion who abandons you on the hook or saves you in front of the killer ... they are hateful behaviors, but in some way understandable in game dynamics. I can also understand who ragequits on the third hook or during the Mori: it's unpleasant, but the killer receives a bonus and the rest of the team would still have to continue the trial with one less ally. But whoever systematically disconnects at the beginning of the game is a cynic with no dignity who deserves no mercy. Do they want derank? Take off one rank at a time, not two pips: that's what they want ... if they get it sooner, they might ruin fewer games to innocent companions and killers. Even better if they are banned for 24/48/96/192/etc. hours and see their characters regress, losing perks, items, add-ons, and their BP stockpile reduced by 250,000 every time!


Let me be clear, I do not have it with the developers, who, I repeat, have done an admirable job to avoid unfair matches from the beginning and who have my full, total, affectionate esteem. I viscerally hate those lousy pigs (not Amanda) who disconnect at the beginning of the game instead of going to play Dark Souls and get out of the balls. @not_Queen @Patricia @Peanits @Shelby I beseech you, quickly find a solution to stem these indecent behaviors, please!

    You can only derank so far now though, you cant go all the way down to rank 20 from rank 5.

    I am aware you'd still be at a disadvantage, but the least i'd like to see happen is that the number of Generators on the field AND required go down by 1 IF the amount needed to repair is still 5.

    Disconnecting, in my opinion, does need to be punished more harsh, more frequently, and there needs to be a bigger incentive to not do that, but even if all those are added, there'd still be enough cases where'd they DC anyway, and therefore i proposed that change.

    Sentence them to 2 minutes of mashing the struggle button. If they let go the 2 minutes resets.

    @FireHazard DCing in a online game it's one of the most awful infringements of the basic rules of correctness and should be treated accordingly.


    @Kuris He wanted to derank from rank 5 to rank 15: a huge list of DCs, then.


    @Boss Your idea is good to stem the damage suffered by other players, and I support it with sincere enthusiasm, but the remedy for the innocent must be accompanied by a just sanction for the guilty.


    @AshleyWB They could unplug the console to avoid it...

    I have an idea: If you disconect at the beggining of a match, you can not play as any survivor or killer but Legion until you achieve 4 sacrifices in one match with that killer ;-) A week long ban would be too good for people like that

    I wonder why they DC, you only depip momentarily and you'll just go back to your original rank.

    I don't understand.

    A word of warning about calling for harsh punishment: I slowly feel that a lot of the insta-DCs after loading are due to bugs and not intentional.

    Just yesterday I watched a streamer having his game close itself right after loading into the match. He said he had seen this before.

    I have not had such a thing myself, but once I spawned next to a Laurie who did not move, she did not look afk but very strange ... as if in the process of falling asleep from Freddy (game was against Legion though). A moment later she got a DC sign (wasn’t due to Legion either because it was not known at this point).

    Because of this I‘d say it‘d actually be better if the match cancelling would be extended to 5 or so seconds after the match has started.

    Second epidemic of DC: four in a row, this time, two at the beginning, one by the second minute and another when the last gen was missing. Trials ruined by ignoble behavior of disgustingly selfish players. How can you expect a minimum of fun, if the enemy is not the killer, is not the torch-armed team, but the unpredictable bad faith of random players? What is the counterplay? I would prefer a Nurse with infinite Evil Within 3 to this situation... at least I could trust in stealth.
