The DC epidemic will kill this game if you don't do something soon
Something HAS to be done. I get at least 2 DC's every game and it can't keep going on like this.

I'm pretty sure the devs said they wanted to look more at DCs after the release of dedicated servers.

Survivors DC no matter what killer I play. It's like this for everyone, survivors just DC the very moment they get downed. Sometimes even immediately upon finding out who the killer is. Regardless there's no excuse.

It doesnt matter which killer you play, they gonna DC anyways, why bother then?

This is very true. Something has to be done... The hostility towards new players will make sure the game gets very little new players and the DC's and other BS will eventually cause the current playerbase to quit.

You can literally play any killer in the game, and people will DC on their first down. Doesnt matter if you never tunnel, camp or anything. Downed = DC, Losing the game = DC.

if anything kills this game it's the technical issues and crashing
it's great that we no longer lose items and offerings when someone fails to load in and we're sent back to the main menu, but the frequency with which this happens still makes the game much harder to enjoy than it should be
i'm pretty sure part of the reason they're hesitant to address rampant DCing is because of how many DCs and ingame crashes are caused by the game and not the player, and this will need to be solved before any action is taken towards DCing as a whole
on top of that, there are reasonable scenarios where DCing is (or should be) considered an acceptable action; the killer's ping suddenly skyrocketing and making the game unplayable, getting stuck in a tree or some other bug occurring that prevents you from playing the game, a killer or survivor holding another survivor hostage indefinitely, etc. even other people in the game DCing, making the game a 3v1 or worse, is reasonable grounds to not want to play the game out at an unfair disadvantage
obviously the aforementioned are not the kinds of DCs this thread is about, but if any kind of automated punishment system is implemented then they will be indistinguishable from people who just DC on their first down. in short, all DCs are not equal, but any streamlined system will treat them as such, and such systems have mixed receptions in other games
my own personal take is that removing the pip loss from DCing was a huge mistake, as now tons of people are freely DCing from games without fear of losing their rank; i've noticed a huge increase in DCs in my games since this change was implemented, and whether or not it was done on purpose (if it was, my guess was to discourage DCing to derank, even though deranking is still very much possible by just suiciding on first hook or throwing the game), it should be reverted ASAP. a surprising number of people care about rank, it turns out
