OFFICIAL DEV REPSONSE: Mandy Administrator, Dev, Community Manager People only get banned from contacting Player Support for harassment - so there's that, you do not get banned for contacting our Player Support about an appeal for a current ban or asking a question that you need an answer to. (Asking to speak to a real person = "harassment?") With regards to the video in question - sorry but the information is not accurate. Hackers do not get players banned for impersonating their accounts, this isn't something that happens and this is not the reason why bans occurred. You can also not get banned for someone randomly cheating in the game, and it making it look like you were the cheat. (This literally happened and they apologized for it publicly. All the evidence is still available. Are we allowed to just say things didn't happen now??? Insane response TBH) With regards to ban appeals, they are handled by our Player Support and when an appeal is made the information is checked very carefully once again, and by more than one person to verify. All players are entitled to go through the appeal process but once that appeal is denied the process is ended and your ticket is closed, as well as any future tickets that you make on the subject. Again, this does not ban anyone for access to our Support services. (Again, there's PROOF that this isn't true at all. Most people get automated responses that never actually check anything.) We actively encourage players to reach out to us if they're suspicious of a player in their game, we have a player support team for these very reasons. We understand how frustrating it is when there is a cheater in your game, we have described the issue as an arms race due to the nature of it - ie we fix said cheat, new cheat developed - round and round in a circle, this is the same that many if not all online games face. There are always developments made on our side and will continue to be developments, as explained before we cannot discuss these matters as we will not give information to the people developing these hacks our ways to combat them. (This isn't about hackers, it's about players being falsely banned and how BHVR is handling it.)
This is so fucking sad and demoralizing but also not entirely unexpected of bhvr. Further proved we have to rely on you content creators for any loose form of safety while playing this game, if we even want to or should continue to that is.
wasnt there a couple of other things throughout the years devs have admitted but later back pedal'd and said it never happened? It slips my mind after all these years but Im pretty sure this isnt the first time bhvr said / pulled some of this slimy shit.
@TheOnlyChoy I won't play this game anymore because of stuff like this. I don't feel safe playing DBD and there's literally videos and countless evidence, but they don't want to do anything about it. We don't care about knowing all the details. We just want this fixed. Instead of attacking the community (people like you) they should be working WITH you to fix the issue. I've lost faith in BHVR and will never play any of their games again.
The fact that you can be banned from customer support for trying to get unbanned from DbD is absurd and stupid. Why the hell would they ever do this? That is a horrible policy to have.
As if BHVR has any capability of rational thought :D I've got banned on literally every single one of their forums for peanuts. Literally nothing. For example on their official forums perma ban for "discussing bans in public", all I did was friendly warn another user that they are breaking the rules... They are all bullies, especially Mandy.
@@MOTUMotherboard I wouldn't be surprised. Like, I have no idea what I did to that insufferable person, but I bet they had a rly bad childhood. Banned me both on official and steam for no rational reason, other than to bully. At least that is how I see it. I keep believing that at some point in time I versed them in the game and they didn't like my playstyle or something... Mandy is the pettiest person I have ever seen online. And those are many!
it's the actual dumbest thing they could do, even in their own selfish interest. if the person was rightfully banned, they lose nothing by communicating because they'll easily be able to tell that the person was in fact rightfully banned and keep them off their game. if the person was wrongfully banned, they get to look like heroes for fixing the situation. treating everybody as if they are guilty with no dispute, ESPECIALLY when they know they have a serious issue like this that they've been very publicly made aware of, is the third option that shouldn't even exist to them because whether they're right or wrong about the person deserving the ban, they still just look like assholes who don't care about their community.
While I haven't experienced a false ban, I did experience quite a few "random" server crashes when I'm about to win or kill a certain person. And it's always against crossplay anons.
I Did too, and It's just soo weird I had one survivor on a hook and realized the whole team were fighting for it so I decided to slug for more pressure and in that instant, game crash
I get this pretty often. What sucks about it is that it always happens when I am making a comeback from a team of survivors who are playing very well. A what could have been turns into a I dont know what happened
Just an FYI, false bans can lead to legal issues. I would hope that those who banned falsely file a class action lawsuit against BHVR. I won't play this game until they fix all these issues. They won't get no more money from me.
i doubt it. you need time and money for that. and good luck even grouping with them in the first place, if you check something like the main DBD reddit, you cannot mention bans, hackers, or cheats at all, your post gets automatically deleted. This is the type of shitty situation were the best option isn't a lawsuit, but to make it a pr nightmare for bhvr, don't buy any more cells or chapters, spam it wherever it won't get automatically deleted, any cote interview? don't even adress it, straight up post about this
In honesty this should've told everyone that they should've just dropped DBD as a whole,bhvr doesn't care about the stunts they been allowing since the start of this crap.
I got banned because I was talking about how the servers are bad and keep getting kicked out, facing DC timers that were not my fault. Apparently, they deemed my discussion "disrespective" and perma banned me. Edit: I wasn't banned from the game; I was banned from the Steam Discussion page. Egg on my face-- I should've made that clear in the beginning.
You don't get banned for "talking about bad servers". You got banned for cheating. You also don't get a DC penalty if the server crashes from a cheater. Doesn't happen and anyone who gets DC Penalties are just rage quitters.
@@Snootch When servers crash, you are kicked out of the game. The game itself doesn't know the difference between a DC and a "server crash or kick". It automatically believes you DC'd, therefore you face the DC timer. Also, I didn't get banned from the game, I got banned from the Steam Discussions page. I can still play the game, but I'm not going to if the servers keep crashing and I get punished for it.
@@vinnie4609 That's got to do with Steam, not BHVR. They can't do anything to Choy or his YT channel, worst they'd do is take away his Twitch shirts/charms if he has them.
I'm increasingly confident in saying that BHVR lives off of the licensed chapters alone, because if they depended on gameplay or technical support to live, they would starve. I'm happy to say that I haven't purchased anything in over a year. I don't plan on spending any more money on a game that has as many support issues as it does gameplay balance issues. It's funny how the average player of the game is always new players and never veteran players. Many people end up quitting the game when they realize what it's really like. I myself only play about 3 days a month now.
Thats one way to be a lazy sht and not do the right work for your fucking customers.. Im sorry for you, i have been banned on the official forums and on steam aswell for speaking up. But i luckily havent had my account suspended yet, as im using Anon mode since the last incident.
Every time I'm about to play DbD, I get flashbacks of horribly unfun matches and get recommended every bad thing about the game ever, gotta thank the lord for looking out for me like that. I'm gonna play somethin' fun instead.
The biggest issue with many companies from other Genres and BHVR is the lack of transparency and communication between the developers and the community about serious issues like this. People are scared to play the game if some butt hurt or overall foul person wants to get you banned for nothing in particular. Yeah fixing stuff like this takes time, but this issue has been happening for a while now, and many people are wondering just what is BHVR is doing if the thing they said was going to be fixed ealier and it is still not fixed.
BHVR pls, implementing good anti-cheat must be your NUMBER 1 PRIORITY. Nobody expects a new killer or expansion when hackers can turn any player into god, teleport anywhere on the map or laugh at your face when taking game hostage. Bro it's amazing how can you work on new stuff while current situation of the game is like this? Do you guys have moron managers? Come on you can tell us under a fake name.
BHVR as a company truly baffles me with how bad they hard stuff like nerfs, cheating, and other things of the sort. They are the ignorant kings of gaming development. They are the total opposites of the DE devs for Warframe. When DE screws up they admit it fully and actually think about what to do to fix whatever is happening. People losing stuff like twitch drops or items they earned from events? No if they're told what happened they'll usually fix it. Nerfs are that needed but went too far? DE will listen if the fandom tells them that they went too far. BHVR does the opposite...they lie. They apply band aid after band aid of fixes but refuse to actually hit the issue at it's core. DBD's anti cheat actually is the worst ever, I'd argue Rust's anti cheat is better and you can get kicked from a server for just falling weird in that game. Then again Rust is full of hackers.
sorry for quoting Taylor Swift, but your comment made me think of it "band-aids don't fix bullet holes, you say sorry just for show"... it's just so fitting for BHVR... they never really fix anything, just some little band-aid fixes here and there, then some extra bloodpoints or shards so we forget.
I think the safest thing you can do while streaming DBD would be to have a watermark with your twitch near top/bottom of the screen so if somebody tries to steal your broadcast and frame you it *should* be obvious that it’s not their stream
Their customer service seems to be so slow at responding as well recently i keep getting EAC error saying game files modified, I reported this issue to behaviour customer support yet to get a response.
BHVR is in a weird position where they don't have the resources (apparently) to address the rampant hacking problem in DBD, but it's also so rampant that they cannot publicly acknowledge it or they'd get lambasted by everyone, rightfully. There's currently so many subtle speedhackers (at least on console crossplay) that it's difficult and unfun to play the game, and it's frivolous trying to learn precise killers like Huntress or Unknown or Dracula or Wesker or pretty much anyone with micro, because the difference in speed is going to throw off any finely-tuned muscle memory- this not only exposes speedhackers (who very rarely get banned in my experience) but also means you'll be learning incorrect data because you'll be adjusting your angles based on the wrong movement speed. For roughly 2 years by my estimation, hackers have been subtly ruining public matches and blatantly ruining streamers' matches, and there's no longer any excuse. It is actively difficult to play, learn, or enjoy the game because of hackers, and hackers are getting more powerful because BHVR is not addressing them. This is pathetic and anyone that gives money to such an incompetent company is an idiot.
I got a VAC ban on Steam for CS:GO years ago. And like you said, I kept pestering support to figure out why I was banned. They eventually told me they would never respond to anything I send them ever again. I still don't know why. I'm just lucky it only effects CS:GO and no other game from Valve. Not that I've cared to play any of thier games since then.
he'd have deserved it ever since that long ahh rant he did on lerys screaming that the game isnt fun unless he 4k's with ease every match and whining at a survivor at the exit gate.
It's very heartbreaking that innocents are getting fired in the crossfire of this whole situation.They are innocent DBD customers who now may be turning to the side of hacking...
Game developer over the year are becoming more and more incompetent. It just isn't the case with BHVR alone. Company like GGG cannot even kept my account safe from hacker and it resulted with me losing alternate art item in POE. I been distancing myself from playing online rpg since this isnt the 1st time it ever happen to me. If they keep this up, it only a matter of time before the game is dead.
We NEED to do something. I doubt a boycot would work because people will still play regardless. I think if all streamers regardless of the damage caused should stream different games. Like big streamers like otz, zubat, scott, hens, etc. I think if the streamers really commit to this we can create change.
in theory, yeah. but they wouldn't because it's their livelihood and a lot of streamers who play one main game experience a drop in viewers whenever they play something else.
@ no I just absolutely smacked him on Reddit after he found a post I made about him, I then made a parody account on Twitter and proceed to clown him, since I started he’s only streamed a handful of times
I just started recording hackers again myself. They are absolutely rampant again... Not sure what happened? I alrdy got 3 on my channel just from today and I alrdy had 2 feedback reports back "actions have been taken. Reported them through official channels with video link (only way to get them banned, ingame report does nothing on its own)... Pretty sure they have 100 more epic accounts tho.
this is insane, this is such a shitty move from behaviour, it makes me feel very questionable about investing into this game any longer, and what about the money we already invested? a hacker messes with you and now you are banned and voiceless!?!?
At least cheaters can get us off the floor when we're being slugged or save us when being tunneled. When you take out all the loops, make every pallet a mind game , reduce map size, create bad maps, add more hooks and breakable walls the more people will be incentivized to cheat. The CORE gameplay isn't fun anymore and I feel like it hasnt been fun since 6.2 or so. I dont care about the perks back then, its the gameplay that was still good. Personally, I dont see how they can return to form without a MASSIVE cleanout at BHVR
BHVR is a shady company using dirty tactics for years. They nerfed hillbilly to make Oni seem stronger to make more sales, then a year or 2 later restored billy back. They nerf old perks to make new perks seem better to make sales. They just want your money. Their shady tactics is why i quit, well that and their hacker problem. Their sales tactics are dirty. If you like or love the game, it is hard to see until you get that bad taste in your mouth from their dirty tactics. It doesnt surprise me they do just as bad at customer service.
This is really noble of you but it's fucked that you're basically doing unpaid labor because of their shitty customer support and inability to safeguard their servers.
BHVR simply don't care about cheater and hackers, they don't impact on their money so there's no reason to implement anything even remotely serious as anticheat or a better report system or a basic replay system. The day hackers start to impact bhvr financial they will resolve the issue in a week
Well, you gotta think of it from their point of view. If they get banned, they will join the cheater side as a way of retribution, so it's a win win in their eyes.
Are you seriously surprise? Behavior has personally has lost my trust a long time ago. But I hope they are able to reinstate the accounts that were falsely banned.
Behavior seems very comfortable robbing their customer base, in a quite literal sense. At least I don't know what else to call it when you can spend thousands of dollars on their game, invest multiple years into said game, and they can take everything you bought from them away from you for literally no reason . And the fact that you have to rely on some elitist system where if you are not famous enough you can go fuck yourself is absurd. It genuinely seems more morally just at this point for those who Behavior wronged to buy the hacks so that they can at least access the things that were stolen from them. Probably inadvisable, but that is what Behavior deserves. If they are going to steal people's money via their own incompetence and Cavalier attitude with how they address this problem, then I can hardly say that I give a shit if people steal from them.
Watching and commenting for the algorithm. Like this is awful and I would literally rather not hear about it, but it needs to be heard, so here I am, adding view time and hearing. Not that my hearing it matters particularly, but that's hardly the point now, is it? Fix yourself BHVR, jfc
yeah... ofcourse? Why is anyone surprised at this point? i have played on anon mode since the first incident and i encourage anyone to do the same. We can not count on BHVR to look out for our safety. And i have been banned on multiple accounts just for criticsising this very issiue along with other severe stuff that has nothing to do with game balance. Crying and tribalism spreading people get 10 chances to do bad behaviour but when you criticsise them where the meat is at? They suddendly turn histerical. I would have been long gone if DBD itself was not such a enjoyable game, BHVR is the worst company ive ever had the misfortune to be a customer of. Also remember when they lied about the trickster seizure issiue? claiming it only affected very view people (which would have been bad enough but it was LOADS of people and they let this go rampant for days)
Banning on Video game always 1 sided its always, if you can appeal to that ban then its not ban, its just like closed account and can be reopen the problem here is the developer banning based the eyes, not the data developer should ban mac adress from the hacker , so basically hacker will need new mobo + cpu to play banning IP is useless, banning account is useless, they just can make another ip or account just like how WoW ban or Gw2 ban, they didnt hesitate to ban the Computer and the area near it its only to safe the game enviroment, so there should be a brave choice like that not by watching streamer vod. LOL
You know what else is extremely shitty? you can't even adress this on the main DBD reddit. Your post gets automatically deleted for even mentioning bans, cheaters or hackers. this is insane, getting your account perma banned for no reason is literally bhvr robbing you. any money you spent? taken.

Not that I've cared to play any of thier games since then.
Yet again you had one job behaviour, at this point it's becoming a non-stop joke for DbD.
Suprised they haven't banned Tru3 just to be jerks.
Deserved.
he'd have deserved it ever since that long ahh rant he did on lerys screaming that the game isnt fun unless he 4k's with ease every match and whining at a survivor at the exit gate.
It's very heartbreaking that innocents are getting fired in the crossfire of this whole situation.They are innocent DBD customers who now may be turning to the side of hacking...
This is why I don't stream. It's basically a one way ticket to BM.
As a community, when are we going to hold people like Mandytalk accountable for some part in the decline between bhvr and it's consumers?
Mandy is a very rude community manager, I hate her
Actually experiencing each and every single mori wouldn't be enough of a punishment for those who cheat
It's not the first time they are caught lying
I just never believe what BHVR says until they present the results of what they promised they'd do.
Bhvr being bhvr
Game developer over the year are becoming more and more incompetent. It just isn't the case with BHVR alone.
Company like GGG cannot even kept my account safe from hacker and it resulted with me losing alternate art item in POE.
I been distancing myself from playing online rpg since this isnt the 1st time it ever happen to me.
If they keep this up, it only a matter of time before the game is dead.
See, this is why I never tell people how very easy things can be... exploited
bhvr lied to us ?! so?! like always
We NEED to do something. I doubt a boycot would work because people will still play regardless. I think if all streamers regardless of the damage caused should stream different games. Like big streamers like otz, zubat, scott, hens, etc. I think if the streamers really commit to this we can create change.
in theory, yeah. but they wouldn't because it's their livelihood and a lot of streamers who play one main game experience a drop in viewers whenever they play something else.
Awe I guess I can’t shill my parody twitter of void here, either way at least I ended his career since this event.
Oh did he finally get permabanned for good?
@ no I just absolutely smacked him on Reddit after he found a post I made about him, I then made a parody account on Twitter and proceed to clown him, since I started he’s only streamed a handful of times
mama mia, it just never stops, eh?
I just started recording hackers again myself. They are absolutely rampant again... Not sure what happened? I alrdy got 3 on my channel just from today and I alrdy had 2 feedback reports back "actions have been taken. Reported them through official channels with video link (only way to get them banned, ingame report does nothing on its own)... Pretty sure they have 100 more epic accounts tho.
Since I'm reporting so many blatant hackers, should I be afraid of getting banned myself? Or is this only when you insist on speaking a real person?
BVHR lying? Say it isn't so!
this is insane, this is such a shitty move from behaviour, it makes me feel very questionable about investing into this game any longer, and what about the money we already invested? a hacker messes with you and now you are banned and voiceless!?!?
yep, pretty much.
At least cheaters can get us off the floor when we're being slugged or save us when being tunneled. When you take out all the loops, make every pallet a mind game , reduce map size, create bad maps, add more hooks and breakable walls the more people will be incentivized to cheat. The CORE gameplay isn't fun anymore and I feel like it hasnt been fun since 6.2 or so. I dont care about the perks back then, its the gameplay that was still good. Personally, I dont see how they can return to form without a MASSIVE cleanout at BHVR
behavior is a ball hog, no action
I have a question. What if this is all the work of the entity to scare us even more?
not surprised bhvr was always incompetent
BHVR is a shady company using dirty tactics for years. They nerfed hillbilly to make Oni seem stronger to make more sales, then a year or 2 later restored billy back. They nerf old perks to make new perks seem better to make sales. They just want your money. Their shady tactics is why i quit, well that and their hacker problem. Their sales tactics are dirty. If you like or love the game, it is hard to see until you get that bad taste in your mouth from their dirty tactics. It doesnt surprise me they do just as bad at customer service.
That's just normal for them.
It's funny how ALL DBD PROBLEMS can be solved by adding a reply match system like what's in battle royal games
Dbd is too old to add something like that
@matthewwhite1728 it took them 7 years to implement new game modes so i guess its never too late for BHVR LOL
@Nami10481 i was surprised they were able to pull new gamemodes and modifiers off.
… the number of cheaters in this game is ridiculous… ngl most of bans are well deserved… theres not a single day i not facing cheaters
This is really noble of you but it's fucked that you're basically doing unpaid labor because of their shitty customer support and inability to safeguard their servers.
BHVR simply don't care about cheater and hackers, they don't impact on their money so there's no reason to implement anything even remotely serious as anticheat or a better report system or a basic replay system. The day hackers start to impact bhvr financial they will resolve the issue in a week
Uh DBD is the child who is trying to manage with dismissive parents who also abuse the child as their trophy
BHVR not doing what they said they were going to do? Color me surprised!?!
BHVR is very stubborn
Well, you gotta think of it from their point of view. If they get banned, they will join the cheater side as a way of retribution, so it's a win win in their eyes.
So if you got falsely banned only solution is know someone who knows Mandy from customer support, LMAO.
Mandy is terrible, bad community manager
If they ban me. I'll finally be free from the fog lol
Are you seriously surprise? Behavior has personally has lost my trust a long time ago. But I hope they are able to reinstate the accounts that were falsely banned.
How difficult is it to verify that the stream you (BHVR) are viewing is the actual stream and not spoofed? Seriously.
Behavior seems very comfortable robbing their customer base, in a quite literal sense. At least I don't know what else to call it when you can spend thousands of dollars on their game, invest multiple years into said game, and they can take everything you bought from them away from you for literally no reason . And the fact that you have to rely on some elitist system where if you are not famous enough you can go fuck yourself is absurd.
It genuinely seems more morally just at this point for those who Behavior wronged to buy the hacks so that they can at least access the things that were stolen from them. Probably inadvisable, but that is what Behavior deserves. If they are going to steal people's money via their own incompetence and Cavalier attitude with how they address this problem, then I can hardly say that I give a shit if people steal from them.
So until bhvr has fix this bug or issue I’ll never stream DBD until that issue is fix
Many times I’ve been about to win on killer and my game “mysteriously” crashes. Hmmmmm…🤔
Watching and commenting for the algorithm. Like this is awful and I would literally rather not hear about it, but it needs to be heard, so here I am, adding view time and hearing. Not that my hearing it matters particularly, but that's hardly the point now, is it?
Fix yourself BHVR, jfc
BHVR is like GIVE US YOUR MONEY AND SHUT UP......ONLY KILLERS ARE IMPORTANT, SURVIVORS DO NOT DESERVE TO WIN AND FAIR PLAY
yeah... ofcourse? Why is anyone surprised at this point? i have played on anon mode since the first incident and i encourage anyone to do the same. We can not count on BHVR to look out for our safety. And i have been banned on multiple accounts just for criticsising this very issiue along with other severe stuff that has nothing to do with game balance.
Crying and tribalism spreading people get 10 chances to do bad behaviour but when you criticsise them where the meat is at? They suddendly turn histerical. I would have been long gone if DBD itself was not such a enjoyable game, BHVR is the worst company ive ever had the misfortune to be a customer of.
Also remember when they lied about the trickster seizure issiue? claiming it only affected very view people (which would have been bad enough but it was LOADS of people and they let this go rampant for days)
Banning on Video game always 1 sided
its always, if you can appeal to that ban then its not ban, its just like closed account and can be reopen
the problem here is the developer banning based the eyes, not the data
developer should ban mac adress from the hacker , so basically hacker will need new mobo + cpu to play
banning IP is useless, banning account is useless, they just can make another ip or account
just like how WoW ban or Gw2 ban, they didnt hesitate to ban the Computer and the area near it
its only to safe the game enviroment, so there should be a brave choice like that
not by watching streamer vod. LOL
are we supposed to be surprised?
BHVR is very stubborn
This is scary
Dude, no offense or smt but u r really sound like AZYHMOUS. Doesnt r u an alter ego? xD
So glad I quit this shit game.
You know what else is extremely shitty? you can't even adress this on the main DBD reddit. Your post gets automatically deleted for even mentioning bans, cheaters or hackers.
this is insane, getting your account perma banned for no reason is literally bhvr robbing you. any money you spent? taken.
Reddit is garbage, too many rules and power tripping mods
Why do people still play this xD?
