Quit game while kill animation

[Bellowoods]

As someone who plays victims/family pretty equally, I've started to encounter this problem more and more lately while playing family. Victims tend to exit the match during the kill animation, often resulting in me NOT getting the kill even though I may have "killed" 2 people or so.

This further results in me not getting any XP for kills for that match, which is rather frustrating and makes me feel like I just wasted X minutes for basically nothing.

Please, for the love of god (before we lose all the people who play family) make it so that you can't press ESC (or what ever button your console uses) during the kill animation! I should not have to suffer an XP loss so that some kid can keep his "perfect" survivor record, or save 10 sec on finding a new match.

You should not be able to quit the game during a kill. Rather should the players who do that be penalized and NOT the family player.

Alternatively, a simple 10-15sec exit delay would solve this problem.... Easily fixable devs! Please do something about it!

A victim can always alt+f4. Rather than penalize anyone, just give the other side free xp.

I would rather just get the XP I deserve from the match than get "free xp", the game should simply recognize that I killed that player and count the kill.

Weird. I get the XP still when people DC on me during kill animation.

I'm not sure how far into the animation it needs to get, but I've encountered it numerous times now that I don't get the kill if they exit right as it begins.

That works/is in line with what I meant. Start a kill, get XP no matter what. If a victim DCs before getting killed or whatever, also give free xp to all family. Just don't penalize DCs. Getting stuck with an afk/troll teammate on either family or victim side is horrible and I'm not gonna subject myself to a full match with them.

can't stress this enough!! *bump*

I reckon the easiest way to fix this is just to give the whole family a "disconnect" reward when a victim leaves or have the game recognise the survivor as "still connected" for a minute or two after they leave.

Basically delaying the time between the disconnect and the game recognising that they have disconnected, to avoid issues.

The main reason imo for it, other than "perfect record" is just... time. I personally don't want to wait an extra few seconds watching my own demise and knowing I screwed up in some way for this to happen, everyone is different, I just get pissed off more easily, so to know I can just leave and move on rather than stay and suffer is something I keep in mind.

lol when they get tired of spending more time afk and waiting to play than playing they'll find new ways to have fun and get the most out of their time as they can once their money is gone. in dbd, I go by the adage "don't hate the playa... hate the game" and blame it on behavior. I'm shocked they haven't experienced a class-action yet, comes to show how addicted their userbase is. who would sue their dealer?

Same thing happened in Friday the 13th. People dcing while being killed to deny the Jason the kill XP. DEVs will hopefully fix this soon.

[Bellowoods]

Yes, Friday also got filled with cheaters, especially on the PC side. I'm afraid that this game will suffer the same fate as Friday except perhaps the law suit. Their anti cheat is a joke, since launching there have been no bug fixes or any sort of patches, I don't have much faith in these Devs if I am being honest.

as far as im aware you get the xp if the animation already started

[DarksiderZ2K]

They should make it the second you start the animation you get xp. Or if they DC then all family gets the xp. Only fair. I understand DC'ing if you don't want to watch the remaining victims try and escape, but to do it right as you die wowzers!

Same here. I've been opening the scoreboard on each kill for a while now to watch it, and I've always gotten kill credit and the points for it after the animation finishes.

I swear to you, that if the person leaves the game right at the start, basically when you're still stabbing or slashing him, you will not get any XP and the kill will not register.

Do we know if the person who decided to rage-quit/quit gets anything for leaving early?
