Dc penalty should be turned off for the first week of a new chapter/ big update.
This can stop people from being punished for something they had no control over, especially if it's a common issue. Like Wakeup making people crash, if this happens multiple times in a day from people doing it accidentally or on purpose then your penalty goes up and up because of it.
I got a 15 minute penalty just because of wakeup being screwed before it was kill switched and guess what, it was within the first week of Onryo coming out.
Sure people will leave because they either don't like versing the new killer/ don't have the capacity to learn how to counter the new killer, but I see the crashing as a much bigger issue than a few people rage quiting.
One week is not a lot of time but it's enough to see majority of the issues caused by a new chapter.
Or the devs can just play test all of their perks and stuff to see if anything breaks the game, but what's the odds of that happening.

I disagree. When the gods in their own minds tbaggers that get caught and DC on their first down DC even more since they would have no DC penalties the solo survivors just trying to pip up would be punished even more.
Doesn't stop survivors from suiciding on hook, so what's that change? They weren't going to play in the first place.
Pretty much every patch releases with serious bugs tho.
If we turned off the DC Penalty every time BHVR broke their game, we'd never have a DC Penalty :D
One week every 3 months or so is not as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be. I'd like to play and not be punished for something the devs broke, but I guess that's just me.
Probably yes, one week is pretty short and it's not like game will be unplayable.
Definitely not. Every time they’ve turned the DC penalties off the DCs become even more frequent. People disconnect for all kinds of ridiculous petty reasons if the game lets them.
Nah. It would be a severe issue for anyone who doesn't hoarde a million+ bloodpoints for the new chapter. You try earning points to level up the killer when any time you bring something that isn't the brand new killer just gets you 4 DCs.
