How long are your sessions of dbd?

After 4-5 matches of survivor I feel as if im done for the day, after 2-3 games as killer I feel as if im done for the day. Does anyone actually play this game for long periods of time and have an enjoyable time for hours? I have been playing for about 3 years off and on and have felt like the game used to be more fun back then rather than what it is now.

Makes me wonder if we should trust their words that they don't need a Game Health Chapter.

    I don't play more than 2 hours at a time when I play. Or at least I try not to. I don't like sitting in one spot for hours. My granddad says I'll get a bloodclot. I don't know if I actually could, but he's always like "Bloodclot...." when he's walking by. .☺

    There were times where I played endlessly, but nowadays I play for a couple hours and be done with that. Thing is, I love the game, but if it's the same thing over and over in red ranks, it's not something you want to do daily for 12 hours.

    1-2 hours. On my days off I may go for longer sessions, but I'm usually tabbed out while my lobbys load watching youtube so it's not a straight session.

    Sometimes I play 1-2 matches, sometimes 10-12 matches. If it's weekend I can play up to 4-5 hours.

    I relate to this post so much. The game is fun, but it isn't one of those games that I could play for multiple hours at once. I've been playing the game daily since I took around a three month break, and my sessions are usually around 1-2 hours. Then, I usually take a few hour break before I get on and play again. I had no problem playing for multiple hours in a SWF but since I've only been playing alone, it can get pretty draining pretty fast.

    1-5 matches, depending on how fun I had. Tend to be on the lower scale.

    I'm a university student so once my studies are done for the day I hop on DBD and play for 4-12 hours a day. More during weekends. With that much time I can usually get a decent amount of actually fun games where everyone has a good time even if all survivors die. That's what I'm looking for in this game, fun for everyone.

    Currently around 10-15 minutes aka. one match/month as killer.

    I'm about the same time as you, but playing for 2 years. Part of the reason that I don't play as much is that the community has devolved over time and become more accustomed to resorting to scummy tactics in matches, or instantly leaving games.

    I also burn out on games occasionally Nd I really didn't want to do that to DbD. By playing less per session, I'm getting way more time in game in the long run.

    I work 3rd shift so I only play on my nights off, which is maybe twice a week. When I play (I only play survivor) it's generally for about 5-7 matches. I might escape maybe twice the entire time as solo which kinda burns me out quick. Maybe having friends that played would make it less tense/frustrating and more enjoyable, but 90% of people are asleep when I play. I like the game but I can only play in small doses.
