Taking a break

Taking a break when a game is becoming too much isnt a bad thing. I tend to be one that reads alot of the complaints on this forum and just eye roll ALOT of them, but even I took a break from the game for afew months earlier this year. I played some Overwatch and Warframe (which I might go ahead and boot up for abit tonight...) and after 3 months...came back into the game and had a good time. While alot of people will roast the devs for the infamous "play civ" comment...they were right. As with ANY game, if its not fun for you anymore (as what will happen with ANY game after you play it for long enough) take a break for abit.

It's a non competitive game. If you aren't having fun then don't play lol.

I dont think it'll be as drastic as you think, especially once the new MMR system is implimented. IDEALLY if everything works ok, you shouldnt be facing opponents who just completely annihilate you. Those players would be outside the range of opponents you face. It might become the case though that alot of players would find themselves with invisible ranks that are much worse after the change than what they're currently seeing now. These players though would be none the wiser to it if the game manages to pair them with players of the same play lvl as them.

I have a habit of playing 1 game at a time kinda exclusively, but... I went ahead and booted up Warframe for abit to snag the latest character and play with it and I JUST updated Overwatch. I also still have an entire DLC of the Witcher 3 in my backlog to play through. Theres still alot I wanna do with DBD so its not like I'm tossing it out or anything, but I know how burnout feels. Fortunately I'm a killer main and I always have the option of swapping killers (and with them playstyles) to keep things fresh. Last week I was playing Nurse for abit which is a character I NEVER really played before, so while I DID get my ass handed to me abit...it was a fun change for the night. Managed to go ahead and unlock every perk for her which is an eventual goal of mine for EVERY killer.

I know theres still plenty of killers I can pickup and practice with that would give me similar experiences. Hag's gameplay for example is drastically unique, so I could devote some time to getting use to THAT. This is one reason why games like Overwatch and ESPECIALLY warframe got me hooked for so much...they have many characters with drastically different playstyles to keep things fresh. In the case of Warframe this is extended upon even further by being able to customize your loadout to offer VERY different playstyles between 2 players, even if using the same character.

Breaks are healthy and I did the same a while ago. Playing as killer, I got tired of the gen rushing & how matches seem to be a race against time. As survivor, I got tired of constant tunnelling and camping.

I'd say if you didn't focus as much attention on one side you'd feel a bit better. If you get a swf game that was tough then just give killer a break for the rest of the day and play some survivor. Go back tomorrow when your refreshed and beat the 9/10 lobbies that aren't a sweaty swf.

Although I'm not a killer main on ps4 (I play on ps4) I am a Survivor main. Many people think that just because someone chooses a side in this game that one should be shunned. Which is either people who are brain dead or people who lack sympathy. I fully understand this and honestly I agree with your choice of taking a break. All the times I solo que and either get called a toxic swf because of my crappy teammates who are unfortunately a swf or I just dc because a 3 man swf that sucked ass and farmed each other after every hook; makes me just want to delete the data and start over,make an alt and just give the killers the kill, or just stop. You all can say i'm just butthurt or it's not often this happens just makes me hope that when cross plat beta comes out that I only get pc killers

I don't blame you. swf+comms ruin the game.

Of course you’re defending swf. Your username is lets play together. Lol.

i play both ps4 and pc and killer and survivor thing is with ps4 they can make swf group in lobby as people coming in with that party chat thing.

In weekend I played almost all game Freddy on ps4 have rank 1 and keep it. Now I use every game different killer and about rank 9. Really hard on console keep 1 rank if you not Freddy or Spirit. Gen time ridiculous

Always. I am just looking back at their track record and making expectations from there. Better to have a low expectations and be pleasantly surprised if stuff works well.

I feel you. I play on ps4. I'm a rank 1 killer main and it's become a sweat fest. I've been taking somewhat of a break myself. Still a game or two here and there but quickly get tired of the bs. For a long time dbd was the only game I played. Recently I bought the quantic dream bundle of Detroit become human, heavy rain, and beyond two souls. Had a blast with Detroit playing my first playthrough in one sitting lol Just purchased and started Ghost of Tsushima too so DBD will continue to be placed on the backburner for awhile. Try playing other games for a bit. I'm actually really enjoying the my time with other titles. If more people actually stopped playing killer and stuck to it, they'd have to do something. I love dbd, but with the way things are currently, I don't have the same passion I used to for it. Sad thing is, idk if I ever will. Not to sound overly dramatic but it does suck things have gotten this bad.

It baffles me how many people are looking forward to PC killers wrecking console survivors.

you and me both, the Meta SWF slaves will feel the fury of Demo, Deathslinger and PH

People need to stop saying this. It's a pure pvp game, it is competitive by nature. Just because you don't see esports teams playing at Dreamhack doesn't mean it's not competitive.
