So I have quit dbd for a bit
After playing this game for a long time. I think it's time to take my second break. I'm burnt out again. The game is just so stale for survivors currently. I play the game look at the main menu and get off. I get into a game and im instantly bored.
I get bad map rng or it's some killer that I dont enjoy facing. I never see billy anymore. I have seen alot of Pyramid Heads recently and it just is not fun. Still getting hit through windows. I'm glad the devs are working on it but it's taking so long to finally fix bad hits. The meta is stale because there isnt many good survivor perks.
The game is also just so buggy. The devs are so amatuer they can't even consistently have bug fixes nor did they fix the spaghetti code before it got bad.
I ended up deleting dbd ill be back at some point. I might look at the forums from time to time but maybe not.

Enjoy your break, I know they can help recharge interest a bit. Maybe DBD will be in a better place if and when you make a return.

No, guys. 😢 I'm sorry it's stale for you. Anytime I start to lose interest, something funny happens that lures me back for a time just because it becomes endearing to me. And they keep adding things! Updated maps...animations...chapters...events...rift...
So much fun, right? Right? 😢

Hope you return soon!
I also hope the game gets fixed.

taking breaks it's pretty mandatory in this game. I stopped playing after completing the rift around 11 days before it closed; probably gonna start playing with the mid-chapter.

I said I might return but idk it might be permanent. The game is becoming too buggy for me.

I wish it wasnt I genuinely used to enjoy this game I played for years straight. That's changed.

I play DBD too frequently, and for too extended of sessions.
I don’t really expect too many performance improvements before the end of the year.
If the next Chapter isn’t overly appealing, I could quite possibly take an extended break (that’s like a month or two for me) to begin the new year.
There are other titles to focus on that I’ve been neglecting for almost a year now, just to participate in the DBD atmosphere.
If we could only fast forward into the future to see what Dead by Daylight looks, feels, plays (etc.) like in 2-3, even 5 years... that would be interesting, and quite revealing of who Behaviour is, as a whole.

I've done the same like 3 times since I started playing and it has always let me come back with more excitement. I burn out on games no matter how much I love them if I play them "too much". So it sounds like a good time to take a break.
Personally I've always returned when some sort of new content is released or an event starts, so on top of returning to the game there's something new or at least unusual going on as well. Tends to be a good time to return to any game a player takes a break from.

There's a really cool game coming out soon called, Ghostrunner. It's super fast paced, and there is a demo you can play on Steam! Maybe its something that you like?

Play Spooky’s JumpScare Mansion👻❣️

I'm playing rogue company with my brother so it's fine thanks for the recommendation though.

I remember watching a let's play of that game years ago it looked cool.
1 -
I took like a 6 months to a year break and returned last year. It felt good I learned all the new killers and mechanics and made new friends. This time it might be permanent the game is too bad for me.
4 -
Spooky’s is Suuperr cute!!!👻❣️
It’s a really fun play through, and if you have VR capability it’s one of the smoothest, non-nauseating, comfy experiences there is!
Hope you give it a play!
Definitely a welcome break from DBD...
it’s my go-to when matches are uber-stale.
Quick, easy and I’m feeling better in no time at all☺️

Just wanna do a call out for Billy. I genuinely want to like that killer, but the amount of effort I'd have to spend on him to make his power click... I'd rather just learn Nurse or Spirit.
I really really wish they'd allow you to play solo player games offline. No idea why this is still not a thing. Doesn't even have to have any bots... just let me spend an hour or two practicing Billy in a low pressure environment. Let me work on corner dashing, sprint dashing around the map so that when I take him into a game, I'm not having a miserable time being teabagged because I can't even use his Sprint Saw to get further than 15 m before crashing into something, much less actually secure a kill with it.

It's a horror game I dont think vr would help me especially when I'm scared of horror games. I'd play it normally though.

I typically don't touch DBD until something new comes along.

I'm seriously thinking of putting the game away too. I play killer and survivor 50/50. I would play killer more often but the killer experience is so nasty and toxic from survivors. I make it a point to play nicely as survivor because killers have it much harder. It's no wonder queues for survivors is long. It is going to get worse before it gets better.
Good luck to you!

Im on the forums more than the actual game nowadays, dont blame you for not wanting to play it
6 -
Well I just say if your a adult fan who
like horror . This game is far fro. Bored or boring. It’s completely opposite. I complain when getting camped and complaining whe I’m getting tunneled as well as laughing, but it’s only as interesting as you make it. This game is as far as I know got way better- the better games that your able to play get updates and fixes . They have gotten better with listening. Compared to 2 years ago. It a A instead of a D. No whining kids.
1 -
Yeah survivors can be straight ass holes. I dont want to play killer I have my p3 oni that's all I need atleast for now. I was grinding p3 50s but I cant even play without wanting to leave. thanks good luck to you as well.
2 -
Lets also add that the moment anyone brings up changes that would change the stale survivor meta would be harassed by the same survivors complaining the game is stale.
Also the same survivors complain about seeing the same killers every game also complain about less common killers until they are nerfed and are seen even less making their own issue far worse(You can see this currently with Deathslinger an uncommon average/below average killer).

Take care of yourself

Can you not make this an us vs them. Nobody is complaining nobody is fighting you didnt have to do it but you did. Now if you have nothing better to say leave.
6 -
I will you as well.
2 -
I am sorry about making it "Us Vs Them" but:
I was mainly bringing it up because its an infinitely repeating cycle of these forums that I am personally getting sick of seeing and it mainly(But not exclusively) applies to the survivor side of the player base.

Same I've been burnt since then and maybe a bit before. MMR ruined my rank and in my experience I have a few good games then trash teammates mostly and dude it makes me feel like a bad survivor I play solo anf mix builds every now an then but I wont lie. Watching everyone talk about being rank 1 and see streamers escape it makes me feel not good enough even when I play solo and usually play better than the teammates I get. Not always though, and killer is frustrating with swf even when I can win it just gets boring too playing the stronger killers. The bugs and the window hits and just omg its no fun dying all the time due to the fact I like getting chased or playing against swf to the point I feel stressed. As a survivor it doesnt stress me out it makes me happy or mad and I prefer that over stress and anxiety. Idk sorry for talking you ear off

I can relate to this very much... feels like 90% of the time I launch DBD I end up on the main menu for a few mins and just quit again. I can think of playing DBD for ages but when I actually launch it I just think of all the bad matchups I personally dislike facing and having to deal with.
Feels like 90% of games nowadays are playing with rank 20 teammates which are classed 'high ranked'. I swear it wasn't always like this. Yes, the ranking system has never been perfect. But I have never ever played with so many consistently boosted players that should never ever be at red ranks.
We'll get back to it eventually.

IKR I hate having to play stealthy because it gets me killed to ENJOY chases

HAHA scared of horror games I should have known after I sent that clip from hellblade

I play the game look at the main menu and get off. I get into a game and im instantly bored.
While we may have disagreements on teabagging, I relate to this so much.
The last time I properly binged this game was in July, July. I have played a couple of games with friends every now and then since but I just don't enjoy it like I used too. I play one game and decide that I can't be bothered anymore, even during tome 4 I just couldn't be bothered with the level 2 challenges (and I always strived to finish the tomes). This isn't about the tome entirely though, it's about the game in general.
I'm on a sort of hiatus from playing it right now, I do have intentions to play it sometimes but I never do, simply because I can't be arsed. I do agree, this game used to be so fun and addicting but now I don't enjoy it anymore.
Edit: Had I not spent any money on this game, I probably would've uninstalled it by now.

I’m basically gonna play it until Watch dogs comes out, then i’ll see how good that is. So this may be the last month of me playing regularly. :(

I only play the game maybe once/twice a week currently (one of these is when I'm drinking). I haven't felt like playing killer in a while.

Yea because the people are offering survivor nerfs as a form of meta change which is utter bullshit , if someone offered killer perk nerfs as a form of meta change they would be told to go ######### themselves by everyone on these forums, I've got 9000 hours in this game and probably more hours in killer than survivor to be truthful because I'm old school and didn't do the whole discord thing for voice chat until like 2 years into the game and even I'll say the meta is stale and survivors need new perks that are just as good as the meta now so that way people have a reason to switch up, me personally I'll play with no perks it doesn't bother me but that doesn't make the game fun for other people and you need other people to play the game
1 -
Try killer for a little bit, you're probably bored of survivor right now.
Also, if you want to learn some stuff, try playing blight, he's a ton of fun.
Regardless, hope this break does you well man :D

The meta changes offered by survivors are nerfs instead of changes thatsbwhy they are usually against it. I was gonna bring up this point in my original post but I will say it now.
Playing survivor really sucks because at some point whatever you have is gonna get nerfed. It's been happening since 2016 and it started getting worse when clown came out in for nerfs.
1 -
I play killer but can only play s ok much I prefer survivor. So I'm just quitting. It's too bad for me right now. Thanks though i appreciate it.

Good luck azame san, we will greet you when you are back, the entity always finds its victims again.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone enjoys stealth, I love the thrill of getting chased.
Also, welcome back to the forums Komodo :D.

I am so glad when someone leaves they tell us. How would we continue with our day if we weren't notified when someone stops playing.

I mean I have made friends on these forums. Hate if you want.

If you need a break, take a break. If you are really here to just vent on what you don't like about the game, just say that is what this thread is about. I'm not trying to be mean here, but this thread is starting to just feel like every other "I'm upset about what you took from me" thread on this Forum. My own rule is if I stop having fun, I move on. I respect that. When I do it though, I simply exit stage left. We all get burnout. I too, will eventually play DbD less (or not at all). But when I do it will because "I" am no longer happy and thus "I" am the problem and thus "I" am taking the appropriate steps.
For what it is worth Azame, I hope you are back one day and we get to play alongside each other in the trenches or with one of us hunting the other down. Good luck, have fun, in whatever matches and games you find until we see you again. Jaa mata.

Farewell music nerd until next time.

I never once mentioned anything the devs took in this post I simply said the problems I have that made me quit.
But take it as you wish.

Given the history of the game survivors receiving nerfs makes sense since they have always been stronger then most killers for most of the game's existance.
Also Survivor perks being so strong hamstrings the rest of the possible perk buffs the developers can do because they'd have to consider if it would be too overpowered because of DS/Unbreakable.
Also I know nerfing DS won't magically make everything good but I feel like its nerf will let the game move on as DS is both oppressive in gameplay as it is in design space it takes up.
2 -
I'm not saying none of the stuff will be nerfed but I am saying nobody bought the game to play a side that gets a nerf damn near every patch. Also we could sue that same oppressive logic with slinger.
