Link to Gameplay rules?

NoRestarts

Does anybody have a link to the gameplay rules?

I'd like to read the fine print on things that are not allowed, like DCing.

update

Links to official rules, like the EULA, not a pinned forum post.

I want to know how new players are supposed to know things like DCing being bannable, if they don't come to the forums.

No, not a forum post, an official link, link the EULA. Not everyone comes to the forums, just wondering about the official communication of what is allowed and what is not:

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught and killed.

Ah, alright. Forum post I linked does have a link to the EULA near the top. The post does specify a few extra things (such as specific things that should not be reported and the like). 🙂

Right, but how are players supposed to know what is against the rules without official communication?

The percentage of players that come to the forums is small.

Here is Dead by Daylight's official EULA provided through Steam.

EDIT: You can also view the EULA in-game by "revoking consent" in the settings menu.

Thanks, I've read it, but the EULA does not go over things like DCing being bannable.

How are new players supposed to know this?

Yeah, it should honestly be easily available in a to-the-point way in-game, I agree there. Both the EULA as well as more detailed explanations about stuff (like what counts as "taking the game hostage" and such)

Common sense, generally.

All bannable/non-bannable offenses can be seen in-game when reporting a player. Giving "props" will bring up a secondary popup showing different categories, such as Grief and Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Unsportsmanlike Conduct mentions player disconnections.

You have to report a player to be told the rules?

So the players that do not report other players are just out of luck?

For more information, you can visit this forums post:

Thanks, I've read that and the EULA, but it doesn't get to the core of my question.

If you are an new player, you come into the game and see there is an option to DC, there is nothing in the EULA, or the game (unless you report someone, which not everyone does), that tells you that using it too much will get you banned.

Just seems odd that the game does not do a better job of telling new players that using an ingame option too much will get you banned.

It's up to players to make themselves aware of the game rules - they've been advertised quite often through streams, YouTube, social media as well as on the forum.

They're pretty much common sense as well.
