Disconnected from game and banned.

[ElSeniorDoggo]

I was playing a game normally, the killer got mad and suddenly only I got disconnected. And also got a ban for 4 minutes. This happened to a friend a day before as well. WHat is up with this? I lost my items as well..

Unfortunately it can happen when a bug or a personal internet disconnect affects your game. It's annoying, I know.

I honestly believe that after bots are implemented, the penalty for survivors can be removed.

not so much a "ban" as a time out, a ban means you cant play the game at all, in games like dbd, it would involve you not even being able to load up and connect to your survivor/killers or even the main menu, clear difference

If you DC during a match, whether it was from your actions or your connection messing up, you get the time out and you don't get to keep your items

hahaha, no.
Bots aren't really a replacement, and no, you don't get to freely change out of a bull situation when killers would still be penalized for bailing out of a bully squad or losing survs holding the game hostage by hiding in improbable places.

Just eat your loss and stand still under a hook.

while i agree on the bots, same goes for killers, sure they are punished when they dc, but so are survivors, killer dc's and survivors lose their offerings and addons, why? have had killers dc right as the survivors are about to escape, have also as killer had survivors dc right as they are dying, i honestly dont get this "mentality" of "must dc before my opponent wins against me" or just quitting in general

I don't condone that either, even if I wished some matches where I'm clearly outranked would at least finish faster, just do that last gen and leave already instead of wasting two minutes of our collective lives pressing ctrl at the doors FFS .

I'm not saying the system is currently perfect, just that there shouldn't be free quitting just yet because surv bots.

true, and the games that i was talkin about where the killer dc'd, we were tryin to get out as fast as we could, the killer just hit esc an leave faster, maybe if there was a cooldown on leave so people cant immediately click it after bringing up the esc menu? other games have it, though that may be more of an auto-save feature so you dont corrupt your save file by exiting the game too fast for those games, but there def needs to be some tweaking to the games punishment as some get punished by proxy (killer dcing or teammate dcing, either will almost surely end the match and everyone's fun)

It was weird because I was talking on Discord and no connection issues there. It was a game only thing. I sure hope we can reconnect in the future

would be nice, then they wont be able to say "we cant tell the difference between intentional dc and net drops/game crashes" if they offer the ability to reconnect in cases of the latter, like almost every online multiplayer game does these days, then maybe the ones who actually dc and mean to stay gone can receive harsher penalties for multiple dc's (meaning the time stacking up faster and what not to let them cool off for a longer time, sooner)
