Will you ban or do anything to the survivors that use the bug with the SB?

I dont think so. I reported streamers that abused Wake Up bug from the day it was discovered till it was fixed and none of them got banned.

Yes i know they will not do it because survivors bug and killer bug but still want to hear the answer they will give us

I can't imagine that the devs will say that they won't punish players for abusing any bug, as this would encourage exploiting since players wouldn't fear punishment.

They won't ban anyone.

Well they don't punish they survivors that use wake up even tho they say tha they know who use it and for what reason

Nope, you can exploit as long as you're a survivor.

@DarkGGhost @Redcum I guess you're conveniently forgetting that no killer was banned for using Tinkerer when it removed their TR for the entire match.
Is it possible that the devs decided they'd rather not ban players for their mistakes? Or do you genuinely think they are prejudiced against killers?

Oh, forgot another one. The Sloppy Butcher on Wraith bug that made survivors endlessly spew blood like a Quentin Tarantino movie and caused massive FPS slowdown. Were there bans then?
13 -
Of course not. They will pretend it doesn't exist to remain ambivalent until they fix it.

@brokedownpalace So let me see if i understand you. As long is a mistake from the devs you are allowed to use and don't get a ban. If this they case they let's unban all the killer that get ban for using the legion bug.
Here the thing tho Devs have grown sense those bugs happen and we expect them to take decisions that help the game but when you have bugs like this and you don't punish anyone them you send a message that you will protect one playbase over the other and that is bad.

I dont get this........ this bug is on bhvr how can they honestly ban someone for their mistake....... in DS3 there was s bug/glitch where player could do a sequence of things and afterwards they would buff boss weapons.... a lot of people did during pvp matches------> and no one cried for a wave of banning players...
1 -
Because exhaustion perks activating mid chase is wayyy too strong it's stupid....... players shouldnt be banned for a bhvr mistake but the bug does need fixing......

This logic is wrong because then every single bug in the game is a mistake from the devs. But let's say i agree with you should the devs ban those account that show how you can use the bug in twitch and youtube?

In general: public knowledge about an exploit puts pressure on the devs to fix it rather fast (e.g. provide a hotfix), instead of being able to wait it out and just put it in the mid chapter patch or the next DLC.
So ask yourself: should the person get banned that actually helps to accelerate the process?

@Peanits, @not_Queen can you anwerd this plz

I think people don't get banned because they want people to exploit- hear me out. They already know their QA is #########, whether it's manpower or just not testing enough (We've told them that enough). If people don't fear using exploits, they get spread like wildfire, and quickly everyone knows about them, which means it comes to light much quicker. If people feared it, they'd keep to themselves and not tell anyone, making it much more unlikely to be found anytime soon. The quicker its found, the quicker it's patched, and the less people get away with it.

They typically dont ban for simple bugs like this.
They have banned for some but only if it was one which could basically hold the game hostage such as the safe points for survivors where a killer couldn't reach them or the legion add-ons which held them hostage within deep wounds taking forever to mend.

They wont ban anyone for abusing bugs or for even cheating. This practically encourages lag switching and makes the game, overall, crap.
They WILL ban for DCing too much. Of all thimgs to ban for...great logic devs.

They didn't punish killers that used the Play With Your Food, Thanatophobia or second Legion double blades bugs either, and they were broken at the same time as Wake Up!
It's fairly obvious that they've decided they don't want to ban people for abusing things like that in general, but rather want to just fix it when they can. It's not some cringy bias thing, it's just a change of how they deal with situations like that.

I can imagine it is way harder to spot people using the Sprint Burst Bug.
With Wake Up, it is much easier, because this Perk was not used at all (expect by a really small amount of people) before the Bug. But Sprint Burst was Meta before. And even if someone starts running midchase, you never know if it is exploiting or someone who has 99% his Exhaustion to make it "activate" when in chase.
0 -
That's actually fairly easy.
You can spot the difference between an abuser and a simple Sprint burst user by 2 things:
1- You met the survivor for the first time and they use it against you. There's literally no reasons for them to use the 99% trick since they were probably saving Sprint Burst from the start.
"But what if they used it by mistake?" How much time passed from the start of the trial? Did 40 seconds even pass to remotely consider the exhaustion timer at level 3? If not, than the answer it's quite obvious.
2- Exhaustion still last a fair bit even after the timer ends. To make it start again you literally have to stop running so that it depletes fully. Those who abuse it makes it obvious by the fact that you can barely notice them stopping to activate it.

Thats not how I exactly meant it.
What I mean: If someone was using Wake Up, there is a 99,99% chance that the player was only using it because it was bugged.
But that cant be said about Sprint Burst, because this is a Perk which was used since the first days of DBD.

Nobody will be banned.
@TRB124 Small surv bugs get attention because forum is 75% killers.
3 -
Yes, but there's a radical difference between them.
Wake Up bug was passive, Sprint burst is not. You need to do certain things to use the bug, that's intentionally taking advantage of a bug, in other words: Using an exploit that should be reportable.

Bruh. Killers can see aura of survivors working on a gen.
Crying about sprint burst is not allowed.

People need to stop responding with passionate positions and start using their head. This is not a survivor vs killer thing. This is a degree of concern thing. The only bug that earned a ban in recent memory was the Legion perma-mend bug. That is because it was not only game breaking, like the wakeup and tinkerer bugs, but it also caused the game to be taken hostage and added a whole other griefing level to the situation. Using it gave you the ability to absolutely dominate while also being able to take the game hostage where others could do nothing.
Enough with the crybaby tears. We are absolutely right in demanding a swift fix as it affects the quality of play, but stop acting like spoiled children in the process.

As far as I know they don't have a way of tracking who is and who isn't abusing the bugs. People can do it as much or as little as they want because they don't have a way to check. Because of the way the game is coded, they also can't just disable things for some reason. So people are stuck with it happening until they patch it out.
0 -
And even this was only bannable when people reported it. They didn't have a viable way of tracking it on their own.
