What is the thing that would make you stop playing dbd and why?😱

If they removed Spirit from the game, then I probably will leave.

The Realm Beyond did.

Hard thing to answer. They been making the game better but something is missing. I have not been playing as much as I used to :/ maybe this upcoming patch will fix that though...maybe.

I don't think anything could make me quit dbd, maybe take a hiatus until that thing is fixed but otherwise no. As much crap as we give the devs, they're smart enough to know when something is majorly horrible. Through the ptb they can filter out the bad.

Changes to killers, maps or bugs won't destroy the game. Maybe cause a temporary riot but never destroy it. The biggest threat to dbd is for its players to lose interest

I actually already stopped before, came back when I noticed they fixed it.

Why I left? Well, to be fair, I left a bit early before hearing out the full changes, but these were the suggested changes at the time:

1. killers being able to close the hatch(at a time when the hatch was the only reason a survivor could escape in a 1v1 by finishing gens)
2. DS being turned into an E press rather than a skillcheck
3. Survivors at the time were recieving nerf after nerf after nerf already(yes, window getting entity blocked was a nerf, windows being boarded up was also a massive nerf, neither were a "fix" as killer mains love to call it, it was a neccesary one, but one at the cost of fun pallets, which created the era of pallet vacuums), while things like Dying Light with an Ebony Mori/Ivory Mori proxy camp werent even touched. Killer nerfs were rare in comparison.
4. The EGC at the time sounded extremely bad, because gate spawns were even worse than they are now.
5. Nurse was still capable of 5 blinks, and with Dying Light being killer meta, you can see why this was a problem.

You can actually check the steam player count when this announcement was made, because it was the start of a massive drop in players.

As for right now, well, if SBMM truly ends up what they promise to be, rather than the fuckfest it is right now, I dont see too much reasons to leave other than me getting bored with the game. If SBMM remains to be a fuckfest, I'd probably consider playing a different assymetrical game, like VHS or Propnight(its actually quite fun, basically prophunt meets dead by daylight)

If the next map - whenever that one comes out - is anything like RPD then I will certainly consider quitting. In terms of enjoyment, playing on RPD is only slightly behind injecting lysol into my veins.

Yeah that too

Either if the game gets boring or the devs are actively harmful (like if they did NFTs or promoted discrimination or something like that).

I don't think I need to explain these. If I don't want to play a game then I won't, and if I don't want to support a company I won't.

I am scared of a Leatherface nerf because he generates the most tears. But they would need to bludgeon him with the nerf hammer, the old way. Because you know, some nerfs are worse than others.

They are already getting rid of my favorite map. Not sure I could handle my favorite killer disappearing too. I guess I would have Nemesis to fall back on.

Loss of internet

A general goal to reach, when i finish the rift, i just stop playing if there is no events or something.

I don't think any realistic changes will stop me from playing DBD completely. I do get burned out or have assignments to do and thus have had breaks where I don't play DBD for months - but I always come back. It'd have to be a fundamental change that overhauls the game in such a way that ruins DBD's core mechanics to stop me playing for good.

I'm not sure. But I definitely don't play it as much as I used to. And I usually need a couple drinks before I even consider logging in.

Thing is, I love the game. It's the community I have an issue with. I keep coming back in the vain hope that maybe I can talk some sense into some of these people. I think deep down I still love the game enough that I want to push back against the worst parts of this community as I see much of my former self in a lot of them... a former self full of rage over a flippin' video game. I remember always being mad at games.... then I saw it in my own kids and realized what an idiot I was being over something that should bring joy.

So I keep coming back and pushing back against the rage over things that people have no control over in hopes I can turn people away from their path of disappointment.

Being taken off steam.

Or Mcote recommending me to play Civilization again.

Damn, that game is good.

They already have with the removal of number badges at the end of matches,the increase of wait times caused by the stupid sbmm system and the fact that they lied to us with the whole nft situation

If they do a full 180, give us an apology and make a announcement that nfts are a scam followed by a few patches I might come back to the game
