I'm so bored....
And I say this with sadness :/ I really do not ever feel like playing lately. As a killer main even though killers all have different abilities, the game now feels repetitive. As survivor? Even worse....this is not a go at the devs or anything because I understand that they want to keep the game the way they wanna keep it, but I wish they would at least change up survivor objectives a little.
-No I am not a salty killer main lol I loved to play SWF with my pals but even they feel the same lately.

Try out some funky builds and divert from the meta.
And if you really need it, take a break. What's the point of playing a game if you're not having fun?

It sounds like you are burnt out, normal for anyone with any game. Instead of hoping the game to change you should try playing different games and come back to DbD when you feel like it. Happy new year :)

You aint wrong. That is why I did not wanna come out as mad at the devs. This game just really peaks my interest lol I am a huge horror fan. I would not doubt it if I come back when the doctor changes hit though 😂

I've been beating this drum for a while now but this game needs alternate modes to play.
Many of these ideas would take a minimal amount of time to put together but would definitely be a breath of fresh air.

You too! And I doubt I would quit for good. I put way too much time into this game lmao

I don't want queue times to be worse than they already are. Will have to pass on this one.

If you bothered reading the first couple lines of the post you would see that what I'm proposing wouldn't increase queue times at all. In fact it should generate more interest in the game and return players which would mean lower queue times.

I don't think it will at all but to each their own ig.

I feel you. Most of my boredom (and frustration) as killer comes from
A. Survivors knowing where I am all the time
- Preventing me from jumpscaring survivors in unexpected places
B. Me knowing where survivors are all the time
These two aspects create gameplay that involves a feeling of lack of agency, and it often reduces the entire match to a computer's calculation of movement speed and hitbox size.
Chance encounters with survivors are practically zero, and those chases often last so short to be a viable source of variation in chase.
For survivor, my frustration comes as a result of the lack of variety in chases. I'm not an expert, so I know that no matter what I do, even against a killer of my own skill level, I will go down after some time. Knowing that really sucks the tension out of a chase.
Additionally, I am constantly pressured by the game to perform at maximum efficiency as a survivor, and that often means pressuring generators I don't want to in order to avoid a 3 gen or taking a down or an injury just to finish a gen before a killer can come over with PGTW. It can be hellish and unfun. I feel like my only chance to finish the gens and escape the trial forces me to rely on luck and abuse the lack of map pressure a killer can apply.
Some of my favorite gameplay came around when there was only the killer and me left on the trial with a number of gens to go and a potential option for hatch. The EGC removed that for me. I wouldn't have minded as much if the killer could just close the hatch or if I had to complete a gen after everyone was dead in order for the hatch to open. What the devs implemented was more of this same feeling of not being able to take my survival into my own hands and use my skill and tools to escape.
All of this eventually made me stop playing for a month. I came back because of my obsession with completing things (The Archive), and this was mainly for Putrid Serum. I'm doing my best next time to not even start it so that I don't feel bound to finish it.
I hope my explanation of some of the causes behind my frustration helps someone else out.
Best wishes into the New Year,
Kind Lemon
