After the BP bonuses AND MM Incentives were removed, I've noticed a downswing in my game time.

I guess I just don't get enough 'fake rewards' for my time investment, currently.

Probably just going to be focusing on tomies for a while, I guess.

Just a weird shift I noticed in my own gameplay habits @_@

    Oh definitely. As killer I just feel bad more often than not, that is when the queue time is doable 😅 and playing soloq is just...no. I'm tired of teammates giving up within the first minute/2 of the game. Surprised you're still doing tomes, GL with them!

    When Project W is on, I might hop back on, cus WESKER 💘

    So less for sure.

    Definitely. I've been playing DBD for almost 5 years and have taken plenty of breaks here and there, but this year I've played less than usual. DBD reminds me of that South Park episode where they're addicted to the game where they chase the purple dragon... you can never win, it's just the same thing over and over.

    In the last 3 weeks I got the platinum trophies for Astro Bot, Crash Bandicoot 1, Stray and Returnal! Better achievements than sitting on a gen imo.

    I've been playing a lot more actually (I played soooo much during the event, and because of the quick queue times, a ton of of surv since the patch dropped), but I think I'm coming up on a burnout cycle, probably gonna take a break and start chipping away at my backlog soon.

    Played killer a bit after the patch.

    Lost almost every game very severely. MMR never appeared to go down to compensate. No BBQ for the "you didn't win, but here's your consolation prize," either. And despite losing constantly, the forum is just filled with survivors complaining about how the killer changes make for a super easy, auto-win every game.

    Well, they don't. And until MMR actually does what it's supposed to, any future games would just be more parades of one-sided survivor victory laps.

    Haven't felt any particular desire to come back.

    Better solo experience, thanks to pings (but built-in voice chat helps too). You don't lose as the killer role because you were playing against three good players and one person holding M1 the entire game who didn't even interact with you.

    See above if you want a harder game. Matchmaking fails sometimes but overall the experience is much more enjoyable if you can handle losing and don't expect to get even a single kill every game.

    Eh, the games drag on for way too long in VHS for my liking. Some stuff is really cool, but the mechanical depth on monster just isn't there yet. And like I said, 20-30 minute matches aren't my cup of tea.

    I've been playing a lot less since Hooked on You released.

    I've been playing less because ghostface is my main, and higher MMR just isn't a thing with him unless you're running a chase build. Kind of defeats his whole stalking theme. Better off playing another killer...but I just legit enjoy playing ghostface for his theme. Fun to give survivors some jumpscares at the cost of killer efficiency without sacrificing the match in the process.

    I'll play again when Wesker is added, but for now I'm playing other games more.

    I have been. I didn't log in at all for like, 2 days. I've been playing VHS more. The idea of being able to kill the killer is much more appealing to me.

    Yes. But I do go through periods where my interest wanes a bit. I think I'm still burnt out from the anniversary event. We got spoilt with bp so it kind of sucks playing for peanuts in comparison lol

    A bit yeah. For me the amount of bp gain is kinda making not want to play cause it's so depressing to look at.

    Taking breaks from the game is a good thing. I have taken 3 breaks over the years and it made it better when I came back.

    Yeah I'm literally just focused on tomes at this point as survivor. I gave up after 6.1 and just run games for challenges now.

    Killer on the other hand is so much fun rn.
