Since the Gilded Stampede Event is over
I need a break honestly from DBD. Been playing almost every day since the mid chapter for Clown came out, was hoping I'd take my break last week but the event got extended for some reason? Yes I literally tortured myself with the very bad desync, and nauseating UI we had before the devs finally changed it. The event was a good means for me to get more points put onto my survivors, and try to get every perk on all survivors... Last week I didn't really play the game to much as well as earlier this week, because I just wasn't having fun with a lot of my games. I turned cross play back on for the first time since it came out because the optimization was really good for the mid chapter, but once I started encountering hackers it's gonna be turned off permanently until an anti cheat system is put into the game. Wanna get back to Crash 4 since I haven't beaten that yet, and would eventually like to play Path of Exile since the game went free not to long ago. This is one of the many great things about taking a break from DBD, feels nice to be able to remove that massive rock off your back. Probably won't be playing the game again until the week before the new chapter, but we'll be keeping my eye on the forums. So to anyone who isn't on a break have fun!

It's always good to take a break from games like DBD as they can be really tiring on your mental health amongst many things.
Hope to see you soon !
In the great words of Mathieu Cote: "Maybe you need a break or some time off, play some something else" - It's not like DBD is gonna go anywhere.

Currently I'm in this kind of relationship with DBD
Had to censor, since we're on forums.

Not gunna lie. i want to stop playing dbd. i truly do, But i can't.. it's a rough cycle that I just can't walk away after all the hours and money i put into this..

You don't have to fully stop playing. You can always take a break. If the break lasts a long time that's fine.
And if truly do not enjoy this game at all, maybe you should stop playing. Yes it will be hard at first, but it will get only better and better. (That sounds like advice for an unhealthy relationship)

Sounds like you’re addicted my friend. You at least have acknowledged the problem so you can stop. I can guarantee you’ll feel better for it. When I regularly played the game a month ago I would regularly get angry, upset and my mind felt kind of out of sorts because I just wasn’t enjoying myself. I only play occasionally now and I feel better for it. I still check the forums and play occasionally but I’ve been slowly distancing myself where I can. Games can be an addiction, just like a drug. I hope you can convince yourself to take the break you need.

Im alternating with Valhalla and dbd. I was playing cold war hard when it came out, but once I put it down, I didn't miss it and came running back to dbd 😅

I just started to play DBD four months ago, I don't feel taking a break yet.
But I took nine months break from a game I played everyday for five years. I came back to it Wednesday and it feels refreshing as new things were released during my break.
Sometimes, it's good to take a break. Enjoy and see you later in the fog.

"Yes I literally tortured myself"
If this is true and not an exageration you have a problem, if the game is unfun or reaches levels where you have to force yourself to play it then dont and never come back until it starts to be fun again. This applies to any hobby or form of entertainement in life.

I took a few day break here and there. but the main issue is that Since i do stream this game. And it's the one of the only games that can literally advertise so Freely without hassle. ...It's the sad part that i used to have fun.. but now i don't after realizing it

Can't wait to be back destroying survivors with Clown, but he'll have to wait a week. Clown currently is on a break as well, he's sitting in the basement getting drunk while he waits for my return.

And guess who doesn't have a PS5 for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, I'll be lucky to even see the console in person.

I've thought about quitting the game if I just hate more bad things the devs do, but I'm very conflicted with myself if I do. With the amount of time I've put into this game, the best choice is to keep playing the game because it is getting better but still needs improvements. I'll probably start taking maybe two week breaks if I start to get unhappy again, and will take breaks when a new game comes out that I might get.

Okay, but if you think you'll come back, why delete it?

Since I'm taking just a week of a break away from the game, I can ease my mind for a bit and focus on other games.

Big facts

And we're gonna be waiting for part 2 of the Final Fantasy VII Remake hype train, meanwhile need to be working on getting a PS5 since the game looks actually amazing on the PS5 since it now got ported. Have another three months to hopefully get a PS5 before the Intergrade DLC is out

Just to make sure I don't tempt myself to get back on the game when I'm taking a break, plus if I'm not playing it's nice to delete to free up storage space.

I honestly feel exactly the same. I played SO much during this event cause finally the survivor BP's were decent for once but then I saw the new chapter details and I honestly lost all motivation to play DBD. I just don't think the killer fits in DBD (he would fit more in Cyberpunk or Borderlands).
Anyways I am glad the event is over and I probably won't touch the game again until either the next chapter or BP's event.

Understandable, the first reason at least. 👍️

Hopefully they make adjustments to the new killer

I mean,it's fine if you want to entertain people but please don't do that at the expense of your own mental health

To be honest, I've had the game uninstalled for months. The closest I've come to reinstalling it was testing out the current PTB (which is why I'm at the forums right now), but even that didn't inspire me to reinstall the Live game.
I just got tired of playing a game where I feel like I'm fighting against the game, with its myriad bugs and issues, more than I'm fighting against the Survivors.
There are just too many things to do to entertain myself to bother dealing with BHVR nowadays. I have Overwatch with the Friends & Family group, I'm planning to try Home Sweet Home: Survival to see what that's about when it opens up soon. Interested in Evil Dead: The Game later this year. And other games if I'm so inclined.
Plus, I read a lot. Currently reading a horror-comedy urban fantasy-Slasher book called Psycho Killers in Love, and really enjoying it. Also downloading the Hack/Slash omnibus collections in digital form from my local library and reading through those.

also make sure you've got a PS5 for that one. PS4 isn't getting it from what I understand

I could be wrong though

I didn't even know about that game until just now. I was afraid it was going to be another Illfonic at first (Friday the 13th and Predator: Hunting Grounds), but it isn't. So yeah, I might try it.

Don't delete play something else😂

I really hope this break does you well! This game can have a toll on your mental health. I'm torturing myself by playing too. I don't even play for the game itself anymore, I play to win, and when I don't win I beat myself up for it and keep playing until I feel like I've accomplished something. See you next time once you play again, hopefully in a better space where you enjoy the game!
