Dc’s are easily at a all time high
I wish DC penalty wasnt a thing. Yes I do DC matches but the circumstances to do so are set in stone for me. If its only be like 5 minutes into a match and Im already on death hook because a Killer is hard tunneling me, making where Ive hardly had the chance to collect BP then to me its not worth watching the Death Animation only to get like less than 5-10 BP its just not, so Id rather DC and go on to the next. Now if its like the end of the match and I go down on when Ive had only one hook and then get camped then no Im not gonna DC
As long as there are penalties for disconnecting, players are encouraged to intentionally die on hook and, consequently, turn the match into a 3v1.
If you ask me, people disconnecting is simply not a problem that can be solved. You can't keep people in a match that they don't want to play anymore. What can be and should be done is taking measures to ensure that those still in the match don't have their experience ruined.
I don't understand why people think this is a crack-pot solution.
Yeah, the dc penalty I love but since the update wish it would be removed. The reason why is, that it ends up a 3v1 I never see the bots as no one hardly dcs now they throw on hook.
DC penalty should be removed entirely.
there have been times when i played DBD that I DC'd because Doc and Clown make me feel sick and give me headaches. There have also been times I DC'd from a game because life came up, like when my late papa had a seizure when I was playing. You nailed it, Bran. People always assume that someone who DC's does it just cos they wanna be a jerk. That's not the case. People need to stop and think "maybe something life came up, or this killer's power effects them in a bad way."
Before the bots came in people could still kill themselves on hook. People still decided to dc..
there shouldn't be a DC penalty. last week i had a day where i faced a bully squad 3 matches in a row and was DDOSed twice in a row, resulting in my being punished for no reason. As killer I should be able to open the exit gates at any time if I feel I can't win, or im playing against a bunch of bullies, or cheaters.
I want it removed but if they don't you can't force me to play a match I don't want like call of duty you can't force me to play a bullshight map it's not gonna happen
I genuinely think the DC penalty vs Skull Merchant should be removed until they rework her. The amount of survivor time and skill needed to break her 3 gen is not reasonable, fundamentally. Other than that, I think at least give a 1 min penalty for the first DC. For me, I hate vsing Plague because her infection noises set me on edge, and if I didn’t get a 5 minute penalty I would probably DC against her. I think there should be a penalty but it should be.. lighter. DBD isn’t ranked or anything so it’s like… what’s the big deal, idk, life happens. I care much less about DCs since the bots were added. Repeated DCs I think should have a punishment because that’s just wasting everyone’s time, but I think suiciding at 5 gens is way worse. That DOES rustle my jimmies, more so as survivor because then it’s like.. okay guess we all just go next now and don’t even get a fucking bot so a game can be had. Though honestly? I have way more of an issue when people DC or suicide when I play survivor than when I play killer. When I play killer, I just find it hilarious, when I play survivor it is more like.. well you’re kinda letting the team down.
I do think there should be a ‘give up’ option if you’re getting bled out by the killer though. I try not to a slug as killer for this reason honestly, like when killers do stuff like slug for the 4k it’s so boring. I usually just tab out but I wish I could just press a button to die.
Edit: On a kind of unrelated note, I find watching DC bots really funny because sometimes they’ll just run into walls and shit and somehow miss skill checks despite being an AI, and other times they’ll pull off the gnarliest juice on the killer and it’s funny.
People can still kill themselves on hook, basically DC
i have one issue with dc penalties, if you leave during the death animation, it still penalizes you even though you are alreafy unsavable. i'm just tryin to get to the next match man.
The DC penalty is driving me away from this game, it forces you to stay in unfair matches and if you leave due to being frustrated by bad teammates/toxic killers you get punished for it. Plus with bots being added as well as having no ranked mode, the DC penalty makes no sense. Remove the DC penalty.
My only ick would be if they let people DC without being penalized but don't let killers do the same. Since there have been some absolute horrendous matches that killers simply aren't having but they aren't DCing because of the penalty.
It would be kinda weird letting 1 side just DC without a penalty because ''The others aren't entitled to their time'' yet that not applying to the other side aswell. Its like ''My time is worth more than yours'' type of situation.
Thats my only concern.
The DC penalty is pure poison for the game. It causes more toxicity regardless of its intentions (good or bad). Its the same as how the whole camp and tunnel strategies created toxicity – on both sides. I've seen it on both sides, though more on survivor than anything else. I also feel that if I am not getting a chance to even participate in the game/ get at least a reasonable number of bloodpoints (say 11k+) Its like whats the point. If I KNOW i am on 5k or so points because I'm being targeted (maliciously or no) then its like why bother staying I want to go next without the bullshit of sitting on the hook (no moris because I just dodge them now due to toxic killers) rather than subject myself to that miserable experience.
Whether people like it or not the DC penalty NEEDS to be removed, but reports need to be seen to regarding quitting the game. If its just a few dribs and drabs of DC's obviously dont punish it. If its erratic and random it could be a bad day or they dont play vs certain killers (I particularly wouldnt play vs nurse or blight if a previous game vs them has been truly miserable, see above reasons). However if there is a pattern of repeated DCs in quick succession maybe then DC penalties could be imposed. Or as you said bran, do it for proper RANKED matches. Make it so QM is DC penalty free, and Ranked is where you get punished for DCING.
As someone who essentially only plays killer I quite like having the bots
If we remove the penalty, killers would just keep disconnecting whenever they become petty like survivors are at times. It would be unfun for survivors who waited in que for a match and teammate brought a map offering the killer player hates and they DC. Then you have to load up in for another game. With no penalty, killers can have more control than survivors do. I heard killer bots would be much difficult to make compared to the survivor bots.
DC Penalties should stay because it's the only thing that keeps Players from DCing if anything occurs what they don't like.
Many Players would DC when they hear Nurses Scream and we all agree playing with or against Bots is boring af.
I don't think the DC penalty should remain as it is, perhaps having some stages of warnings before kicking in and going on a cooldown of some sort. I absolutely hate going against doctors, and they're the only killers I've had a strong urge to just DC against because most like running obnoxious skill check builds and it's too much for me to handle mentally and physically.
Also, I really like that bots replace players because I really don't care for how players will abuse the mechanics to just DC so the last person can use the hatch. Especially when I'm trying to go for hatch closes in archive challenges. Makes me burst a vessel jus' about.
Why do you consider dead by daylight a party game?
When the dc penalty goes from an hour to 6 hours because of the game shitting itself to death and crashing in the middle of a match, there's an issue. Dc penalty should be heavily decreased until the game is at least 90% stable. Lets be honest though, BHVR couldn't even make NAUGHTY BEAR on the ps3 and 360 stable. Naughty Bear isn't even stable on an emulator with a 4090, that's sad AF.
They should definately remove the d/c penalty. Giving up on hook is still a problem, but if theres no d/c penalty maybe these people will d/c instead, otherwise they need to make the game recognize when someone has given up so they can also be replaced by a bot.
My only issues with people trying to use "it isn't a competitive environment" as a reason that disconnect penalties shouldn't be harsh, is that it COMPLETELY ignores the fact that they have been and continue to try and make dead by daylight a competitive game.
Do i think it should be competitive? No, i think it should be a party game. But they have been pushing the game towards competitive and refuse to add a mode for casual play. It feels like half the conversations on dead by daylight topics i see these days people completely choose to ignore things from the devs pushing the game towards a competitive game route and things like how much rng the game is built on.
I can't believe that this is even a discussion there are very few other games in which there are no DC penalties and the few that there are none it's because your individual DC doesn't impact people that much for example in fortnight's you're one out of a hundred players so your DC doesn't really matter but a DC in Dead by Daylight is huge because if you DC as killer then the game is just over unless they had killer bots one day but that introduces a new problem that it's the same as what the current DC bots introduce where bots are not satisfying to play against because you can't outplay them you only know their programming and you know their behavior and you do the thing that is 100% going to work against them like there's no nuance to playing against the bot it's just completely unfun
I’d have to agree, I mean it’s not a competitive game so there really isn’t much place for the dc penalty anyway. The boys though, I would agree they aren’t completely bad but they’re far from gods. Most the time I find if you get them to a short loop with a pallet or a window vault like the LT then they kind of potato by vault camping the pallet or one of the windows
