What would be your final straw to stop playing this game?
Besides the obvious answer (technical reasons), what would make u stop playing the game completely until it is changed?
Im a mid 2020 player so the most annoying things so far are the constant tech issues, but in terms of perks/killers i haven't experienced anything too broken (like old legion). Right now the only thing that bothers me is RPD and i would 9/10 dc if i get that map as half the killer roster

I have already stopped, and the one thing that takes most of the blame is The Realm Beyond.

I stopped playing from nemi release to midchapter because of how ######### the chapter launch was.

imo the Realm Beyond is the only good update we've had so far, i can always appreciate new models and revamped maps cause they never disappoint.
Besides ofc coldwind which is more survivor sided then it already was

I don't. I hate them all with a burning passion.

If I don't feel like I'm having fun when I'm winning and it's supposed to be a close clutch game, that's when I know I should leave.

Probably more updates which just add new Killers/perks rather than fixing the massive balancing issues present in the game, or adding something significant like a new game mode or large new set of maps. O wait...
Already uninstalled twice this week so might stay off for a good while now.

I have no idea, I'm still playing even after they terribly messed up Ace (seriously can not underestimate how much he got screwed from the character updates, aside from Kate he's the only survivor I think got worse. I literally changed mains because of that update).

I honestly don’t know when I’m going to quit. I have too many waifus in this games.

Only drastic changes to the core gameplay would stop me playing for good. For example I wouldn't play the game if pallets, windows etc didn't exist or nerfed to the point where you should stealth 99% of the game.
I wouldn't even stop playing if I lost my progress (again), presuming I am refunded BP. (Although I think I heard somewhere if you lose your progress more than once you don't get refunded? Unsure if true...).
It'd have to be very very drastic to stop me playing altogether.

I think it would only be if my technical issues were unbearable

the inability for the devs to balance it so it’s fun for both sides. Aka cheating killers and SWF

I stopped playing after RE release because game was unplayable on PS4. I picked it up once non-stop freezes were fixed at mid chapter but it still runs worse than before the RE chapter - and there were already a list of performance issues before that chapter. When I upgrade to PS5 I'll say goodbye to DBD. Seeing PS5 players starting to experience performance issues less than a year after PS5 release and PS4 being unplayable for weeks twice in a year I just don't have the confidence in the dev team when it comes to consoles so won't bother installing on new console.

Why comms? Just generally curious since I am for that.

Honestly, when something better grabs my attention. I usually play a game for 2-3 years intensely before I move on to greener pastures ^^ I have been playing since 2018 tho and this game is still bringing me joy!
Something drastic would need to happen for me to stop playing however. Maybe like an update the makes one side stupidly op compared to the other. Something like that.

I started playing in 2017/2018 on XB1.
Over the course of the years there were many changes I liked or disliked but what made me quit the game was the performance that got so terrible that I would consider it unplayable.
Now I got a Series X which can run the game on a steady 60fps but for some reason I don't feel like playing DBD anymore.
The long break I took made me realize how the same years old issues are still there making me lose every interest in the game.
As killer: Gens go too quickly.
Boring gameplay. Not worth my time.
As survivor: 90+% killers (proxy)camp/tunnel/slug and try everything they can to get you without a legit chase.
Boring gameplay. Not worth my time.

If they remove Claudette I’ll quit.
Also, I’m actually burned out of this game. They really haven’t done anything interesting or different in the last year.
The anniversary event was a major letdown after they promised us they were going to focus their effort on it and Halloween at the cost of not having other events. The last few killers seemed uninspired.
Trickster, really no need for an explanation for him, The Twins release was terrible, Nemesis feels uninspired, they just cashed in on the Resident Evil brand and gave console an unplayable chapter with the most unfun map ever. Blights collision bug makes him unplayable for a lot of people, Nurses bugs are obviously being ignored, survivors getting stuck or teleporting back to places they’ve run past, Huntress hitting survivors with invisible blimps and I could go on and on.
The one thing this game has for it is it’s one of a kind. No other game is like it and it’s hard to get the same feeling of victory in another game that you get here. I also love the teamwork that happens when playing survivor.
I just wish the Devs weren’t beholden to their corporate overlords and shareholders. They really need to take at least 6 months to work on fixing the games code and balancing maps to be fair for both sides. They also need to take risks and change up the core mechanics, even if temporarily on select weekends. But I doubt it’ll happen.
At the very least, I wish they’d hire a bunch of recent college graduates and pay with to rewrite the game from the ground up. That way, they can continue to make money off of the live game while also overhaul everything with a future chapter.

I think the only thing that would get me to stop for good is if I woke up one day and EVERYTHING was gone. If my account reset, I'd probably flat out quit.... maybe.
3 -
The only thing that could make me stop is me getting bored of the game.
Took me 5 years for the previous online game I've played, and I started DBD ten months ago.

More errors and higher than 10 minute queues.

When a better game/games of this type come out and its already happening. Id give Dbd 2-3 years max before more simaller games take it off the market. So my last straw will be the game focusing on silly cosmetics instead of updating it to compete with the new/current gen.

Probably if Dead Hard gets nerfed due to Killer complaints. Don’t think I’d play if they did that
6 -
I can’t think of anything that could possibly make me quit this game. I know it has a lot of it’s ups and downs but at the end of the day I do enjoy playing it.
I guess the only thing that bothers me the most is maybe the grind.
2 -
What did you think of Home Sweet Home: Survive?
2 -
Losing all progress. The idea of having to regain all the BP’s spent to get where I am now… Yikes.
Regardless of who’d be at fault, I’d just stay away from the game entirely out of spite should that happen.

I don't even know why killer complain about this....it's an easy perk to counter.

If I no longer have fun playing it.

Any more chapter genres like Kpop or things that aren't associated with horror such as touching a pigs nose. Its losing its horror element and becoming a colourful party game.
12 -
This would it be for me too I think.
Other than that, I just take breaks now and then. This rift has nothing special in it for me, so I don't feel the need to grind the rift this time. So that way I can take a break from the game.

Maybe they mean "comms without the option to mute all by default"

Them somehow nerfing solo survivor in a way would be the final nail in the coffin for me
0 -
For me its the fact they are too slow to patch thing if i find something is broken i dont play or rarely play example the hook bug i did not play the pallet and breakout bug i did not play and right now the new detection for a pallet hit i dont play i find it unfair that i can get stun while i turn the corner and its like that for a long time now and the fact survivor are favor at the pallet and ping dont matter in that

Probably a FNAF chapter.
Sorry, I don't want tunneled by an animatronic bear or camped in a pizzaria.
I know DbD has some campiness to it, but that's turning the dial too far for me.
8 -
If you think an unhinged celebrity going on a killing spree and tormenting his manager isn't more realistic than a possessed killer animatronic in a pizzaria
I don't like k-pop either, but Trickster has a nice design and their story is far less cringe. You just don't like the AESTHETIC, BECAUSE it's Korean and K-pop oriented.

Devour Hope/Wraith (bad (to me)) rework.

Performance. The way the game breaks Xbox every update. I finally found a goat to sacrifice for a Xbox series S so that should hopefully help me for future updates but no holding my breath on that.
2 -
I honestly don't know. I've stuck around even after the disaster that was the Resident Evil chapter release. I think what would be the last straw for me would be losing all of my progress. I've spent a lot of time, money, and effort on this game.
2 -
You don't need to tag me multiple times before I reply on the same comment.
Two, if you read my post you'll see I said K-pop oriented.
Three, things with SOME level of realism tend to make things less cringe and more relatable because it's not " overly pushing it "
All the " Unrealistic killers " come from common horror tropes which at one time still had a LEVEL of realism. ( People used to / some still do genuinely believe in hauntings and ghosts especially if they can see that person formerly existing. )
and I don't think the whole " serial killer story " is the same. You can't compare Clown to Myers or Trickster to Freddy.
You just don't like the aesthetic. FNAF is far CAMPIER , that part isn't an opinion. You SEE a space for that level of camp. For me it makes DbD too cringe. You disagree? Cool. I don't care - about -your - opinion. This topic is about SHARING our opinions. NOT about you trying to change them.

The supposed general health idea that the devs plan on doing failing. If they can't fix their own game, then we should support them any longer.

Lmao you're the one who sent five different messages before I could reply. You typed them all out separately I kept mine to one message. You typed JUST as much as I did. I'm just literate.
But yeah if you think something that could ACTUALLY HAPPEN is more camp than some animatronics coming to life and hunting after humans to eat them . . . then . . . well
Also you're talking about COSMETICS, nothing that is about ACTUAL LORE and the FUNCTIONALITY of a KILLER.

If I lose my progress and they wouldnt help me get it back, I would stop playing this game for good.
Also if the game starts to move in a direction I dont want it to, but so far its fine, it just takes them ages

When they nerf Trapper it’s time for everyone to jump ship.

I've only seen footage cause I use console for everything(weirdly). it looks promising but also like one of those games that'll stay in alpha state for eternity i hope im wrong tho. More so psyched for the upcoming Ash vs Evil dead game it literally looks like ash got tired of the entity's BS and made his own game.
That and I'm praying dying light 2 brings back be the zombie mode. I have a crazy theroy that Be the zombie inspired ded by daylight idk why..

I stopped playing just before nemesis went live. I'm done with killers being released that aren't strong/ fun to play as but also have such strong anti loop that the only way to win against them is to "genrush" and hold w and pre drop pallets. I feel like the fun part of the game is the looping, as survivor right now it feels brainless and boring which is frustrating, and as killer it feels like even though my chases are short the guns are done by the time I get a 1k.

Honestly, the devs. If the decs openly acknowledge that they know the game is in serious need of health updates and then say they aren’t prioritizing it, I’m done.
Right now I can force myself to accept that they’re just ignorant to how bad the performance and overall game health is. If they say that THEY KNOW AND they aren’t gonna do anything about it, that’s it for me.

Fair, that program only serves to make maps worse.

If they stopped supporting console or removed the servers & went back to killers hosting matches.

I've been highly disappointed with almost every single one so far. I dont really care that much about the graphics of the game and if it was purely a face lift that didn't change anything balance wise i would've far more middle of the road on it but thats not the case is it now.

Precisely.

I’ve stopped playing already as well. 2021 DBD doesn’t even feel like Dead By Daylight. Unnecessary map changes that deleted memories I had of the game, unnecessary perk changes for both rolls. It just doesn’t feel the same anymore. Game is getting worse as the months go by in my personal opinion.
