BHVR turn off DC penalty while DDOS issue is happening
Just happened to me in my game, and when i got back on i had a DC penalty. You should turn penalties off for the time being until this is resolved, because people can use it to basically "ban" someone from DBD.

And how are they supposed to distinguish that someone is getting DDOSed from them having a ######### connection?
Or.do.you mean the DBD server getting DDOSed?
Edit: Nevermind, i just read another thread about the issue and I guess you mean they should simply turn off the penalties until they find a solution.
To a problem they flat out ignored the last time they acknowledged it.
Issue has been going on for over 2 years. So... turn the penalty off forever?
Do that and watch all games be ruined even more by everyone DC left and right.
Not the map you wanted? DC. Killer you don't like? DC. You got downed first? DC. It's this perk? DC. etc.
that would be problematic because of the entitlement of the people who are playing this game: to make an example yesterday i did a match with the wraith with meme addons and a meme build centered around chasing only the obsession (i had furtive chase paired with rancor for a "russian roulette" game). In that match 2 survivors were particularly annoying since they were toxic af, one of them was killed before the last gen popped (fully deserved) and the other one dc on purpose because she was the obsession and i had rancor while she was opening the exit gate (endchat she even told me that i was a loser... hard to say this when she was essencially at her last hook and died to a killer with that kind of build without slowdown perks).
Anyway the point is that people will tend to ABUSE it whenever they'll found something that they'll consider unfunny: oh the killer is a blight? dc. Oh the killer has some strong and unfun addons/perks? dc. Oh the killer is tunneling/camping/slugging? dc. Oh the survivors aren't bad and i won't get an easy win? dc
Oh absolutely. DC penalty has its place and whenever they temporally turn it off, people dc left n right for absolutely no reason and no one can play a normal match.
They didn't "flat out ignore" it. They did what they can, but DDoS attacks are a cybercrime and have been for 40 years or more. If a video game company could completely stop them, there would be no reason for them to be a crime. The problem is Steam sharing your IP (unless you have that setting turned off as I do) to give you a faster connection to the other players.
Finally, we could have an excuse to leave these awful SM games
I'm only doing them so that it helps the issue be more prevalent because IT NEEDS TO CHANGE
