Questions About Fair Gameplay - Killer
Hello Community :)

I'm a relative new player. A friend showed me DBD and at the first sight, I didin't liked it. It crashed all the time, freezed, lagged and I thought that every game is very much the same. Now I found a way to reduce the crashes (only about 10% of the games) and I enjoy it a lot now, after my friend gave me a lot of tips and the latest killer buff was released (I'm more a killer than a survivor). + I like mind games or funny interactions with non-toxic palyers. A real cool game :)


I'm still having some questions about good/acceptional behavior ingame and ban reasons:

1. There are a lot of survivors who just quit the game when I'm getting them the third time and able to hook them for good, or they dc randomly, or at the start of a round. I tend to let the last survivor escape and sometimes farm with him, because it's not fair in my opinion to have an afk.
I read in the future farming will be banable, is it bad behavior even if they have a dc-guy?
I mean that's not fair for them and me neither.

2. I've read that taking out a specific player to reduce it's fun is banable, too.
But my tactic is to hunt a survivor with a toolbox or full prestige as fast as I can down, because I'm new to this game and that are the guys who carry the other new palyers and outplay me hard. I don't facecamp but I hunt especially them after they got unhooked or bait them to save someone else so I can get 'em. Is this not ok?
I mean I think it's fair, if I do this, because they have a lot more skill and game experience than me. + I don't want to be mean, just also get the chance to "win".

3. My friend told me that I can facecamp, if I rly want to have the game that way (because the killer decides about the "story" of each game). But its boring for me and the other palyers and I lose a lot of points. So I don't do it, but I tend to stay not too far away of the hook. Like this I can bait 2-4 survivors to the point of the map I want (I don't just wait for them, hunt others or damage the generators, too).
But he also said, that it's ok to camp/facecamp a survor if only two are alive/left in the game, because the other will try to save him or can only try to run away/find the exit. I think that's a good tactic in some situations, but when I'm already having two kills, I tend to play more with 'em ofc.
But is camping ok in that situation or not?

4. I also had a game with 3 survivors left alive and the two remaining just ran around me, were body blocking and trying to get their friend out of the hook instead of healing or doing generators. so I stayed ofc because all 3 were there. they told me that was noob and not fair. I said it was my only option since all of them where at one point instead of at least one of 'em doing generators/items/totems.
So was this fair/not fair by me?

5. Some guy was hunted by my friend. The survivor had no chance to escape. He let drop his toolbox and made an animation that looked like he was begging for mercy. So he wanted to offer the toolbox for his life and my friend accepted, because that dude was palying fair and good. It was very funny.
Is something like that ok or non-acceptable gameplay? I think it's amusing :)

6. Will u release some fixes for the crashes or the possibility to play the game in ultra quality if ur having trouble with that, but ur pc is able, too? (my situation atm)
I've read that a lot of ppl have such problems, even though their pc is very good and suggested fixes aren't helping them. While it's ok that I lose games or rank because of better palyers, it is not because of crashes. I had a lot of 'em in very funny games / when I had a good run. It's frustating and I'm sorry for the other palyers also.
Can I get banned for crashes?
My pc is good and I set every program right. I tried several workarounds and found one that helps (about 90% of the time). But it still crashes. So is this a ban reason?
I've paid for this and I didn't program it, so it would be a little unfair + my pc requirements are fullfilled and even better than the suggested.

7. How is the matchmaking working? I get a lot of guys that are waaaaaaay more experienced than me and have higher ranks + a lot of epic perks, while I have 1-2 in total (not even lvl 3) and my rank is between 20-18 (ty crashes :D but its fair, since I'm a noob). They know the maps, I don't, so they can outplay me easily. I like to learn from them, but will u maybe rework the system so that the hours someone palyed DBD will count, too? Noob vs prestige guys is a little frustrating, especially if they are 4 premades. And they flame after that, that I'm a noob and l2p and I say: "Yes, I'am and I do that atm -_-;"


I would be happy if someone of the old hands/mods could tell me that stuff, so I know what acceptable behavior is and what not in DBD. So that I can become a "good" community member :)

PS: Sorry for bad english, me noob ;)

The best way to get good at killer is to learn survivor. Know how they will respond to certain stuff, and think 2 steps ahead of them when in a chase.

Yes, that's what my friend told me, too and I've played and play survivor from time to time and learn some stuff from my "enemys". But I want to know what fair/unfair behavior is, in the eyes of the devs and community :)

farming is already bannable.

secondly, many times the Disconnector is part of the group and they are using voice comm chat programs to communicate and they do it just to be salty, dont reward disconnects with mercy.

PS: Sorry for bad english, me noob ;)

1: People that DC are bad sportmanship. sore losers. If they DC then they try to stick it to you and prevent their brought item getting lost. Everything is fair game in the round. No matter what survivors think.
Farming someone? what do you mean? keep getting points from them? if you do it only a bit i guess. but if you exploit it. it is bannable under griefing."working with the opposite team to gain an advantage"

2: Fun is a personal preference. You play your killer as you like, dont care about what victims think. this is your playground and they are food to play with.
Camping the hook is not a bannable offence. not even facecamping is. (in most cases facecamping is stupid it only harms the killer, but sometimes you just want someone that really frustrates you out of the game.

3: See 2 camping is fine

4: If they refuse to do generators they are stupid. victims try to resque a teammate, but if its to hard they should run generators. What you did is the right thing. again not banable. starting to see a pattern here? victims are trying to dictate how you play your killer. dont fall for it.

5: Mercy can be given but is not required. its fun at times yes. play as you want.
another fun way to play is to play survivor and point with 1 or 2 at the direction of someone hiding at this killer. hes there!! maybe hell let you live lol

6: My game never crashes. sorry to hear your having problems. some might have some suggestions. If you crash and leave the game by accident this is not bannable.

7:Matchmaking is not fair in the begin but stick with it. The reason is because rank does not tell how good you are. some do not climb the ranks on purpose because good survivors annoy/frustrate the @#*&# out of killers. thus people avoid higher ranks.
Yup.. they are the cause you play against tough opposition. at lvl 15 when you get 2 perks and even better 20 3 perks. you start to feel capable. we all go through it.

hope this helped. moral of the story. play your way. dont let others dictate how you should play.
if you want to know what is not allowed. have a look. https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/6yhym8/game_ban_rules_and_how_to_report_players_new/

I'm still having some questions about good/exceptional behavior in-game and ban reasons:
Alrighty, I'll see what I can help you with friendo.

1. There are a lot of survivors who just quit the game when I'm getting them the third time and able to hook them for good, or they dc randomly, or at the start of a round. I tend to let the last survivor escape and sometimes farm with him because it's not fair in my opinion to have an afk.

I mean that's not fair for them and me neither.
"Farming" is more talking about botting then anything else. Anyway, you can only get banned for farming if people report you for it enough and the devs decide to ban you. I doubt a survivor you showed mercy to would report you.

2. I've read that taking out a specific player to reduce it's fun is bannable, too.
But my tactic is to hunt a survivor with a toolbox or full prestige as fast as I can down because I'm new to this game and that are the guys who carry the other new players and outplay me hard. I don't face camp but I hunt especially them after they got unhooked or bait them to save someone else so I can get 'em. Is this not ok?
I mean I think it's fair if I do this because they have a lot more skill and game experience than me. + I don't want to be mean, just also get the chance to "win".
What you're doing is called "Tunneling", and while it's not bannable, it's still pretty scummy. You won't get banned for it, but at the same time if you spend the entire game chasing one survivor you're giving the other survivors all the time in the world to work on generators.

3. My friend told me that I can face camp if I really want to have the game that way (because the killer decides about the "story" of each game). But it's boring for me and the other players and I lose a lot of points. So I don't do it, but I tend to stay not too far away from the hook. Like this, I can bait 2-4 survivors to the point of the map I want (I don't just wait for them, hunt others or damage the generators, too).
But he also said that it's ok to camp/face camp a survivor if only two are alive/left in the game because the other will try to save him or can only try to run away/find the exit. I think that's a good tactic in some situations, but when I'm already having two kills, I tend to play more with 'em ofc.
But is camping ok in that situation or not?
In my personal opinion, there is never a situation where camping is the best tactic unless you hooked a survivor and are right next to an open exit gate. Of course, that's just my opinion, and while opinions on camping tend to vary wildly, the truth is you will never get banned for camping, so you can camp as much as you feel like. But all I can say is if you camp, you will never get better at the game, will get a meager amount of blood points, will make the game really boring for everybody, and will get abused to no end.

4. I also had a game with 3 survivors left alive and the two remaining just ran around me, were body blocking and trying to get their friend out of the hook instead of healing or doing generators. so I stayed ofc because all 3 were there. they told me that I was a noob and not fair. I said it was my only option since all of them were at one point instead of at least one of 'em doing generators/items/totems.
So was this fair/not fair by me?
If you hook somebody and know for a FACT that there is another survivor nearby, then yes. It's perfectly acceptable to not leave the hook for a bit. You might get flamed for it. but it's their fault for not playing stealthily.

5. Some guy was hunted by my friend. The survivor had no chance to escape. He let drop his toolbox and made an animation that looked like he was begging for mercy. So he wanted to offer the toolbox for his life and my friend accepted because that dude was playing fair and good. It was very funny.
Is something like that ok or non-acceptable gameplay? I think it's amusing :)
Moments like these are rare, but they aren't something unacceptable at all. If the killer wants to show mercy, that's his prerogative. He can do what he wants to an extent.

6. Will u release some fixes for the crashes or the possibility to play the game in ultra quality if ur having trouble with that, but ur pc is able, too? (my situation atm)
I've read that a lot of ppl have such problems, even though their pc is very good and suggested fixes aren't helping them. While it's ok that I lose games or rank because of better players, it is not because of crashes. I had a lot of 'em in very funny games / when I had a good run. It's frustrating and I'm sorry for the other players also.
Can I get banned for crashes?
My pc is good and I set every program right. I tried several workarounds and found one that helps (about 90% of the time). But it still crashes. So is this a bad reason?
I've paid for this and I didn't program it, so it would be a little unfair + my pc requirements are fulfilled and even better than the suggested.
Here's a list of fixes. These have helped me with some reoccurring issues in the past, and if you can't find a fix in here, then i'm really not sure what to tell you. http://steamcommunity.com/app/381210/discussions/9/1319961868336260257/ As for crashes, it's a percentage thing. If you're just crashing every now and then you won't get banned, but if you crash in a good 50% or so of your games you are in danger for sure.

7. How is the matchmaking working? I get a lot of guys that are waaaaaaay more experienced than me and have higher ranks + a lot of epic perks, while I have 1-2 in total (not even lvl 3) and my rank is between 20-18 (ty crashes :D but it's fair since I'm a noob). They know the maps, I don't, so they can outplay me easily. I like to learn from them, but will u maybe rework the system so that the hours someone played DBD will count, too? Noob vs prestige guys is a little frustrating, especially if they are 4 premades. And they flame after that, that I'm a noob and l2p and I say: "Yes, I'am and I do that atm -_-;"
Yeah. The way the ranking system works is once a month the rank resets, so the new players get the same ranks as the more experienced ones for a little bit. This is a reoccurring problem with the matchmaking system, as more often than not new players are matched with people that have been playing since the game's beta.


I would be happy if someone of the old hands/mods could tell me that stuff, so I know what acceptable behavior is and what not in DBD. So that I can become a "good" community member :)

PS: Sorry for bad English, me noob ;)
In summary, what is "Acceptable" is very loosely defined. Basically, as long as you don't hack, grief, or exploit you can do whatever you want. But there are also a lot of unwritten rules that seem to change with every game you play. Not offending SOMEBODY is impossible in this, or any game really. Just do your best and the people who appreciate your efforts will make your day.

Hope I helped you out.

Yes, it's the same in other teambased-games like LoL. Afk sucks, so I thought it would be fair to do this. But DbD is a different game and I should think different there :)
Yeah, exactly to farm points for pallets destroying or damaging generators, hunting etc. I will stop this now, that I know that it's forbidden^^.

Yeah, I had the same thought because if I would be a real killer, I would do what I want, too :) (good that we have games for this things today xD) And sometimes I rly just want to kill one annoying person that was trying to joke on me.

My friend was telling me the same things, so I guess it's rly that way. Not that all survivor mains are like that, but he likes to call them "babys" because they qq so much. And I have to say it's true, I was even called curse words for only fulfilling my role in this game -_-; Still a lot of them are nice and funny dudes :)

Yes, my bud does it sometimes when he's in the mood (hes sometimes rank one, so he can decide most of the games who he wants to let escape or if he wants to get all 4. I hope I can become such a killer one day, looks so amusing if you have the whole game under your control!

Yeah, a lot of ppl have this issues :/ Some sites even scam gamers with DbD fixes with costs.

As Killer, sometimes just the fact that you killed them is enough "unfair" behaviour. They forget that you must kill them, they think it's a game revolving around "survivors repairing gens and escape" but in fact it's about "killer hunting survivors while they TRY to repair gens".

As you said, the killer is the one that *should* dictate the flow of the match. So his goal should be in focuse for him; kill survivors. Sometimes this means you'll be a bit more campy, sometimes you'll be more roaming and hunting. It depends on the playstyle of the survivors but as a general rule, no matter what you do - at least one of the 4 survivors will find a reason to flame you.

Mostly:
- camping the hook
- patrolling the hook / gens
- tunnelling
- using ruin
- using NOED
- not respecting the 4% (someone manages to free himself and you still kill him (obviously you kill him!))
- camping the hatch
- trapping the hook
- hitting someone that is on the hook
- and sometimes even just you being on the map is enough reason to flame you :)

This is exactly what they did to me since I'm playing the game without crashes the last days (and can read the chat after)! Ty for telling me what the 4% means, I was wondering :D!
Yeah, when I play killer, I try to decide what I have to do this game (camping or roaming). I don't decide always the correct way, but I'm willingly to learn when I have to do what :)

I hope so^^; Better won't do it anymore, though. When I played my 2nd game in DbD my friend was watching me and helping. But all of the other 3 survivors went afk at once. I was solo and thought the killer wanted to get me, but he was taking me to boxes and generators and my friend told me to farm with him. So I remembered how kind that that killer was and how nice. I wanted to be nice to survivor noobies like me at that time, too, because I was rly disappointed of that dc-community, but because of him I saw hope there.

Yeah, I noticed that and my friend told me, too. But some games it's still hard to me to find them, especially if they do 0 noise and hide extremely good. So if I catch one I'm so happy and use him to attract the others :`) (me noob) Ty for telling me the name of it, I will try to develope better tactics, but I'm still new to this game so I will need time :)

Yeah, I was hooking some survivors next to the exit. I messed up my skill (cannibal) and they escaped. I also trapped the hook and the exit with the hag and wasalways popping up betweeen them. Then I shoo'd them from the hook to the exit and b. I rly need more practice, but it was funny!!!

If you hook somebody and know for a FACT that there is another survivor nearby, then yes. It's perfectly acceptable to not leave the hook for a bit. You might get flamed for it. but it's their fault for not playing stealthily.

Yeah, I tend to go up higher to see them or i try to catch a glimpse if I notice a noise from a specific direction and sometimes even see them running to me and my victim. When I play survivor I try to be stealthy, but I need there a lot more practice since I don't prefer that role^^.

Moments like these are rare, but they aren't something unacceptable at all. If the killer wants to show mercy, that's his prerogative. He can do what he wants to an extent.

I'M THE BOSS!!!! GOT IT! :D

Here's a list of fixes. These have helped me with some reoccurring issues in the past, and if you can't find a fix in here, then i'm really not sure what to tell you. http://steamcommunity.com/app/381210/discussions/9/1319961868336260257/ As for crashes, it's a percentage thing. If you're just crashing every now and then you won't get banned, but if you crash in a good 50% or so of your games you are in danger for sure.

Thank you! Will look at it :) I tried out some workarounds myself, seems to work now in 90% of the games :)!

Yeah. The way the ranking system works is once a month the rank resets, so the new players get the same ranks as the more experienced ones for a little bit. This is a reoccurring problem with the matchmaking system, as more often than not new players are matched with people that have been playing since the game's beta.

Good to know that it's every month, thanks again!

In summary, what is "Acceptable" is very loosely defined. Basically, as long as you don't hack, grief, or exploit you can do whatever you want. But there are also a lot of unwritten rules that seem to change with every game you play. Not offending SOMEBODY is impossible in this, or any game really. Just do your best and the people who appreciate your efforts will make your day.

Hope I helped you out.

Yes, a lot! :)
