Devs/Mods: DC'ing on the PTB = bannable?
Does disconnecting on the PTB count towards your overall DC-stat? In other words, can you get banned on the regular version if you DC on the PTB?
I've met some slugging Freddies, and I'd rather not waste my time on the test version.

I'm curious about it too.
If he slugs while the game is on, and you have a chance to get healed up, you shouldn't DC though. If he's slugging for 4K, that's stupid (I mean it's smart but in the PTB is pointless).

Yeah, ban for dcing xD 10 times people disconnected because killer found them, not on PTB... I hope devs will put something to punish those coward people, if they DC 3 times then they cant play for 1 day or something like that, do something already they are ruining our game... And I see people recording and putting on youtube how they join a match and disconnect to troll them... awesome, pretty good job so far.

I hope not, we DC when testing things in PTB all the time, we test stuff DC to get out fast etc,...

Yeah I think the DCs are tracked just the same on PTB.. I don't think it actually knows the difference if you are live or on the PTB when tracking it.

can we get a mod/dev comment?
I only go on PTB to test stuff, often in KYF, and dont want any friendly test DC stuff to affect my account, I never DC on Live.

DC'ing in a PTB is generally pretty stupid. The only reason I'd DC from a PTB match is if it's a PTB for a new killer or killer rework and someone plays a killer that hasn't been changed.
Sorry, I played this PTB to try playing against the new Freddy, not to play against your Iri Huntress with ebony mori

I am referring to KYF PTB testing, what is LOl about that?
Do you guys not test things in PTB?

I can't tell you my dude but all I can say if slugging Freddy is meta and all you come across, make a build to adjust to the bad things, prepare for the worst, all you can do.

Hey man. I get you're trying to give me solid advice here, but I'm not complaining about the slug builds. I just don't care to spend my time on the PTB if someone wants to slug all survivors to death.

It's gonna be the same thing with Ghostface, people will play him a lot in one style and then the play rate will die down, you'll just have to wait my man. People gave up Ghostface due to how easy it is to become a easily looped M1 killer, just wait PTB out I guess? Rare to see any other Killer after release.

@George_Soros Nah, I'm not DC'ing in those cases. I'm talking about when players aim to grief/waste players' time.

That's not how your unedited post read, as per my quote.
Your unedited post was indeed hilarious.

Not really, I edited it to clarify what I meant, but I didnt change the meaning or anything.
I thought it would be obvious what I meant, but I guess not. When I do PTB I am a killer main so I like to test stuff, we often do KYF and we will test something then DC to get out and maybe try different map.
Not sure what even is funny about it tbh. Definitely not "hilarious"

@ShrekIsHot Are your replying to someone else? I literally just said I don't have a problem with Freddy slug-builds. I don't have a problem with Ghosface either.
This post is about how the game handles D/Cs between the BETA-version of the game and the real version.

It was more of a general thing, to be clear, DC's shouldn't have effect in PTB but what's the point in DC'ing in PTB. I heard your point and I get that but people will DC as soon as the game starts cause it's Freddy, not cause of anything else, screwing their team over.
0 -
@ShrekIsHot I mean, the purpose of the PTB is to test new features of the game. It would be utterly pointless to go through all that hassle just to disconnect whenever they meet a Freddy.
As for me, when I play on the PTB I don't want to waste my time in matches where a player is griefing by (as in my case) slugging to death.
1 -
That ######### is so stupid, I don't know man. It'd be funny if Freddy slugging made No Mither useful.

Disconnecting from a public match in a risk free environment shows a laughable lack of character and respect both for your teammates, the game, and the PTB process itself.
As you have edited your post since my initial comment, this will hopefully clear things up for you, though it does not apply to/impact KYF at all ;3

That's not griefing. Slugging is a playstyle. There are perks that help with it (Knock Out, Deerstalker) and even perks that counter it (Unbreakable, No Mither, Buckle Up). Disconnecting from that kind of match isn't helping anything.
To put it into perspective, let's just assume that slugging Freddy's are a problem (they're not, let's just assume they are): You disconnecting from that match invalidates the data from that match.

What are you talking about?
I specifically said KYF, meaning me and freidns load intp PTB to test things, such as when the medium vault changes were introduced.
We will test things and then instead of waiting for them to do the gens and exit we will DC to test the next thing.
I think people are confusing ACTUALLY testying things with friends and playing matches on PTB.
Chill with the personal insults, I am talking about something you obviously do not do, but many of us actually "test things" not play matches. And THAt is what I was referring to, your comments about my charachter are uncalled for when you dont even grasp what I am talking about.

You clearly do not understand what I am talking about.
I specifically referring to loading in PTB with friends to test things. For example when the vault changes were introduced, we will log on test vaults then as killer host I will DC to test next thing.
Your personal insults are uncalled for, as you seem to not grasp I am referring to testing things with friends, not playing public matches and Dcing because of slugging. I am not talking about that.

Do they need to test being slugged for 4 minutes? I am pretty sure that works fine. If you want testing and the killer is doing the usual toxic behavior (which is wasting time and preventing useful testing) I don't see a problem with this.
0 -
What about reports, e.g. death threats (or anything else along those lines that should be an immediate ban) sent in postgame chat on the PTB?

@Peanits Hey Peanits, glad you joined the discussion.
Just to be clear: I'm not talking about slugging in general, but the kind of slug that only serves to waste a player's time. A killer who is refusing to engage in hunts with other survivors and who is making sure that one player in particular is staying on the ground, is a griefer in my book. Likewise, someone who spams the mori, is a griefer in my book. All intended game mechanics, but abused beyond intention to ruin someone else's experience. I would love to get to know BHVR's stance on this.
While I wouldn't DC in a normal game, I don't want to sit through that BS in a PTB. Again, I'm referring to cases where the killer is griefing (my definition) not using various strategies in the game.

I recommend KYF on PTB to test things that are being changed, I have done it for awhile now and wanted clarification if DCing in those testings went against your account.
We test all kinds of things in PTB KYF, its how we knew about WakeUp bug before the general public did. I dnot recommend trying to test things in public matches unless its something you cant test with friends in KYF.

That would still be bannable and we would transfer that to the live version. There's no excuse for it, and a test build isn't a free pass. It's along the same lines as cheating; there's no excuse for it no matter what build you're on.
Gameplay-wise, what happens on the PTB stays on the PTB. We wouldn't ban people for testing something in the test build. If there's something that could be abused, we'd want to know about it, not have people feel scared to report it at the risk of being banned.

You made a post without stating what you meant/incomplete information (no mention of KYF).
I made a comment based on that information (DC'ing in public PTB matches is bad).
You clarified that you meant KYF matches, which is a totally different/untracked scenario.
If you did not clarify that point, how would anyone know that you were not DC'ing from PTB matches in your OP, ruining the game/dev stats for anyone involved?

Mori spamming would be a no-go, there's no practical reason to do that. Assuming it's on live, it would be considered griefing.
Slugging someone regardless wouldn't be bannable though. They will bleed out after a while, and there are times that slugging might be the right move (if they have DS for example).

you began your personal insults not only after I edited the post to clarify" but I also made a second post specifying it as well, yet you continued to post as if I did not mean "KYF" then after not understanding multiple posts you begin insulting.
You clewarly knew I meant KYF before you began insulting me for "disconnecting in public matches" which you shoulve grasped that long ago. You literally skipped over like 3 posts me saying "KYF" when started with "shows a lack of charachter" in fact you quoted me numerous times knowing I meant KYF before you replied with insults.
Every post is timestamped and you can clearly see I meant KYF.
My original post was at 6:09 am, I specified what I eanmt in another post at 6:27 am and another at 6:29 am you then acknowledged I meant KYF at 6:56 am and I clarified it AGAIn for you at 6:59 am then over 1 hour from my original post, and after 4 posts of me telling you I meant KYF, youmade another post insinuating I had lack of charachter for disconecting in public matches,.
you really need to look at trhe timestamps, I made like 4 posts saying KYF and you skimmed over them all to insult me.
Thje only thing lacking in this thread is your reading com prehension to be honest, as I stated what I meant MULTIPLE times you just didnt read the thread at all.

I will most definitely try to work on my reading comprehension for future engagements.
