What's your number 1 reason to actually quit DbD?

If killer becomes any worse than what it is currently, I picked up this game for killer back when it launched, I play this game for killer to this day, while yes I play survivor, it wouldn't be the same game that I spent all these years learning how to play.

I have about 5 more DBD achievements I need. Once I grab those I'm gone:3

The complaints and general salt levels both in game and on the forums.

I wouldn't have nearly as much fun if salt levels and forum complaints declined and I would have no choice but to leave if people started to be nice to each other and made constructive well thought-out posts. Franklins is not OP and I had better see 3 new topics disagreeing with me or I'm going to be livid.

If we don't start getting solid, decent perks again. Everything new has a cooldown or some arbitrary condition you need to get for it to actually work. There are so many perks that would be good without a cooldown (like Surge, Lucky Break, Blood Echo, and Thrilling Tremors), and there are so many perks that don't even come close to the usefulness of the currently meta perks. The meta has gotten incredibly stale, and the game is becoming stale with it.

Killer experience.

It's just horrible. I'm not talking about killer performace, I'm talking about the actual inside of the car. The seats have no leather and when I drive the engine makes this really loud, screeching sound that hurts my ears. I'm pretty sure the pedal heat up and burn my feet. Weither I STOMP a team or get curbed myself the sheer level of sweat and expecation to "gid gud" is so immense even when you're messing around that killer role is just....tiring...I get actually exthausted from how much sweat is in killer role while in survivor role I feel almsot immediately more at ease.

The biggest problem is that the maps for so long have been so barren. There is nothing on the map that harms of hinders survivors so there is no reason for them to not run amok and gen rush like lunatics starry eyed electricians that just got fresh out of college. Thankfully the devs seem to have finally clued in on this and decided to add something to maps in this update. Which...thank god. They REALLY needed an update. I hope we get more interactable and hazards in game.

Right now crows are worthless. Normally, if the games interactable were balanced you'd want to avoid a crow. But realistically if a crow goes all that wil lhappen is that I will watch someone with a lead make it to a loop, a strong safe loop, or a pallet which they will just stand at. With the game so time sensitive as it is, I can't afford to do any of those without a specific anti-pallet build or something.

My point being is. You don't feel in power at all even when you're doing well. You feel like you got lucky most of the time because any optimal loop will ensure safety and 2 gens done. If you feel like you got to carry a game all by yourself and that you're getting lucky when you end a chase early...that's not a fun role experience.

Getting bored or feeling to stressed by it, and neither has really happened to me (not yet)

The ######### battlepass. I legit quit for a month when it came out. Maybe 2. It's a ######### tactic and I still dont agree with it.

Even saltier I dont get Halloween cosmetics for nurse because I won't pay for it. When it's a ######### event skin. Greed at its finest.

If it gets any greedier around here or more dependent on the rift, I'm done.

The community, definitely. It actually already made me quit once, I only came back a month or two ago at the request of a friend and I've found that it's just as bad as when I left! The people who play this game are just awful to each other. Each interaction that isn't hostile is like a nice surprise in contrast to the wave of ######### in every post game chat. Slurs, insults, literal threats of violence, all of those and more I've found are common in this community. It's on par with Rust and that's HORRIBLE. Have you ever interacted with the Rust community? Once a Rust player literally added me on Steam just to insult me after stealing all of my stuff, because those are the kinds of people that play Rust, and those are the kind of people who play Dead by Daylight too. Everyone is angry at everyone else and they will not hesitate to make it known. The flaws with the game don't even infuriate me, it's when people give me ######### after the match that get to me. Like 80% of the player base needs to go to therapy.

But so yeah, the community. Hitboxes/latency are a close second.

Poor balance between killer and survivor sides.

Queue times. Waiting 5 minutes for a match is already a big damper on fun. I don't see myself waiting 8-10 minutes. If it comes to this, I'll most likely take a break from the game.

3 things could make me quit DBD:

• queue times don't improve - it's fun playing killer, but I'm getting bored being able to play only 50% of the game. The only times I ever play survivor anymore is when we play in custom lobbies with friends, which happens pretty rarely
• Killers and maps continue to be poorly optimised for console - lery's and hawkins are unplayable if i haven't restarted my console in the past hour. Demogorgon, oni, doctor, plague are a jittery mess if I haven't restarted my console very recently. If I ever get bloodlust as killer I have to drop chase because the game becomes a jittery mess. When i activate sprint burst as survivor the game becomes a jittery mess. After the second or third round in a custom lobby the game becomes a jittery mess. You get the point.
• No new features get introduced into the game - need something that actually changes up the gameplay. The archives were a great addition, but they'll get old eventually.

The "latency" boxes are the worst. Get hit through walls (I'm looking at you Freddy and Huntress), get hit 5 steps past a vault, get hit when you are behind a killer after a nice juke, get hit performing pretty much anything.

No cross save. I know this isn't about the gameplay of the game itself, but it sucks they don't have a cross save. I switched platforms and now my old account with all of my prestige, cosmetics, and progress is just sitting around.

In the meantime, I have had to completely restart and I hate it. The progress on my other account took way too much time to get and if they don't add a cross save, I may just quit for good.

I play in spurts as I like to play DBD alone as survivor and its not the type of game my friends enjoy.

When i play multiplayer my friends and I play a few other games and Ark Genesis just dropped so I'm on that for now.

The one thing that has changed the game a lot for myself is the rift challenges. While they give something else to do they arent well thought out imo as most detract from playing normally. I ignore them for the most part and I've only done about 5 from tier 1 but when others are doing them they affect your own enjoyment of the game when they just do them ignoring objectives or give up after getting them.
