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

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

  • bibibib8
    bibibib8 Member Posts: 843

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
