    Yea as a killer it gets annoying especially since it most often happens because they want to screw me out of points. Although i do admit when i play as a killer a occasional d/c is a guilty pleasure. After all, 3 survivors rarely put up much of a fight.

    "Oh, someone D/c'd i guess now its time to have some fun since the game is on EZ mode."

    If one person DCs less than a minute or two into the game then I don't blame anyone who does after that. 3 survivors against any halfway decent killer is hopeless.

    That said, I really don't see DCs as often as people on here seem to. Guess I'm lucky.

    I've been seeing Survivors DC more often as Killer. Though I think that is mainly because I am playing as Spirit. Like half of the survivors in my games tend to disconnect when they find out they're facing against the Spirit.

    Agreed, people like that should be punished. They abuse DCing to avoid things they dislike such as strong killers or going down early.

    Saw people dcing cause they bump into a trapper's trap...

    @brokedownpalace well, no. with 3 people can still black pip or at least have a somewhat playable game.

    Most dc's happen with Billy>Spirit>Trapper but happened a lot with huntress, ghostface and legion too.

    This must be punished cause if someone leave the game is ruined for the others and btw if more than one people leave it ruins the game for the killer too.

    DCs are being automatically tracked and are totally being punished.

    Everything. Is. Fine.

    Pipping means very little to me. I don't consider a 3 man game fun, especially when most of my teammates go down in 30 seconds. I rarely DC but I'll usually play to the best of my ability until the killer hooks me, then I'll suicide. I'd rather move on to a legitimate game than waste time.

    Had a game against a freddy where one person DC and the other 2 decided to do nothing but hide, i still escape through the exit gate afterwards but it was a hard won victory.

    You say that but at the rate it's still happening says otherwise

    That's what happens when there's no punishment for DCing and It'll continue to happen until they decide to do something about it, It's been a problem for years.

    The threshold idea they currently have hasn't been working, People know that if they DC every few games they're safe since the threshold is high or they've played trough enough games already.

    They should really change it to a penalty timer to rejoin a lobby that keeps tracks of DCs per hour/day and stacks the timer accordingly.

    it will only get worse and worse. i cant play a single game anymore without at least one person dc'ing. and as long as there is no downside and punishment for it...well its gonna be a fun halloween event. thanks bhvr for caring.

    The ######### up thing about it is, it really doesn't punish the killer - it punishes the survivors hard.

    It's the ultimate act of selfshness. I'd rather be left rotting on a hook at the end of a hard-fought match than put up with weak little twirps pulling the plug because they got their jimmies rustled the first time they got hit.

    Punishing DCs would just result in people suiciding on the hook, so it doesn't really solve anything.

  • DelsKibara
    DelsKibara Member Posts: 3,127

    It would at least give the killer their well earned points for doing their objective.

    Still sucks for survivors though.

    Don't you end up de-pipping anyway because you 'win' too fast? Like, if everyone suicides on hook how many emblem points do you get?

    The common factor is that you have a Feng Min wearing headphones...haha on the serious side yes this needs to be fixed.

  • DelsKibara

    I said points, not Emblem Score. I've had games where I don't pip despite getting a 4k because everyone suicided in front of me. I still got the bloodpoints though.

    It at least allows for a safety pip for the killer, instead of the guaranteed depip off of two or more DCs.

    I understand that Killers don't like SWF groups, but this is exactly why I don't play Solo Survivor anymore. If I can play with a group of friends that I myself can guarantee they won't DC and screw the entire game over for the Killer and our group then I'm going to do that.

    Totally agree. It's becoming a joke. People think I make this up but I would say, currently, it's rare that 2 people AT LEAST don't dc from my games as killer. The saddest part in the whole matter is I'm not even that great as killer but I do what I can. Yeah I can get to rank 1 and no rank isn't an issue but I have been stuck at rank 8 because of this since reset. I'll get a rare game where they stay, grab a couple of pips and then it's downhill again. For me, as for you, it's CONSTANT and I'm tired of it.

    Edit : I realise it seems like rank is becoming an issue for me, saying I'm 'stuck' at rank 8 but for those that do like to it must be even worse. I do find more toxicity at purple over reds though. Just me?

    You can't stop this. You can only minimise it with 2 changes:

    - Harsher punishments, but this won't change thaaat much cuz they will just suicide on 1st hook instead

    - Or the option which will work better on the long run is to analyse the big reasons why people DC (for example haddonfield or prayer beads) and try to find a solution which is less frustating for players to stay in such a match.

    Best case is a combination of both tho. However, even with both points applied people will still rage quit. But at least this will reduce it to an acceptable minimum. That's the goal with should aim to.

    Game is objectively getting worse (for various reasons) and makes people not care so much about a match. (understandable)

    People dc on trapper’s trap, should they remove traps?

    I mean, changing the game itself not to make this happen is senseless. You should remove 90% of the game

    I myself never dc anymore, I used to when I was new, but there is an issue with the servers. Been 'kicked' (dced) randomly as Killer AND Survivor before, when my internet was perfectly fine. Behaviour just need to fix their damn game

    I've had people DC cause I hit them with FF... Just one tap of a knife and they leave. It's just.... so stupid man.

    As a Trapper main it's rare to not have at least one DC.
