Anyone else playing less?

I've been playing less, but more so out of burnout after playing quite frequently for the past two months. I'm playing more of the Evil Dead game and Fallout 4 at the moment.

my gametime is going down rapidly. look at the player stats and the long killer queuing times since the new update came out. they lost many survs with it

Yup. I'm just getting tome challenges done to get through rift and then playing something else. Not having fun as survivor. Killer I've always found boring - either I steam roll the survivors or they steam roll me, there is no middle ground so it's not worth the wait. Not a fan of the forced prestige with unnecessary toll to prestige, it feels like waste of BP which discourages me from bothering to play and earn BP.

Personally, I play less since russia got blacklisted, my friends playing less as well.

Dead by daylight have a lot of stuff only available for auric cells (that we can't buy right now), so we just play less. -_-

Just waiting for things to get better.

Same, but with survivor, DbD brings out the worst in me sometimes due to my already existing anger issues peaking when playing this game because of how teammates play more so than killer. I pretty much stopped playing SWF as a whole cuz my friends don't even want to play the game anymore.

The grind was made worse cuz bp perks bonuses are gone and mm incentives got disabled on the first day of them being out. Don't even get me started on the 20,000 bp tax, honestly I don't think the Wesker project will save the game either.

I'm playing more relaxing games like Stardew Valley, SoT, and Minecraft to cope with my anger. Honestly I rather play Dark Souls or R6S than DbD at this point but I've put to much money into the game and I feel like it'd be a waste if I stopped playing as a whole, but it seems like the best option.

I've gotten my Killers to p2 (I didn't prestige them beforehand so as to not lose cakes) but haven't felt a strong urge to play, either. Part of it's not being in the mood. Part of it is last time I did play Mr game crashed while on the verge of winning, which killed my motivation that particular day.

I've started playing less and less. It just feels like every other game as survivor I either want to dc or I do dc. No one wants to make saves until they're being chased and bring the killer to you or until you start letting go on the hook and that's just getting old. Not to mention the amount of people crouch walking around the map not doing anything.

As killer I just find it boring now. Mostly for the same reasons but also because I only really play against what seems like newer players. Occasionally I go against a decent group but most of the time I just feel like I'm not even trying anymore. That's not counting the dc matches and I don't blame any of the survivors for doing that either as they are probably frustrated by the same things I get frustrated with.

Personally I wish they'd just get rid of MMR. I use to have a great time when every match seemed random. One game might've had less experienced players and the next game might've been of great difficulty. But at least it switched up from game to game. The ranking system wasn't great by any means but it provided variety in a game that only has one mode.

I'm not really playing less, but I am having significantly less fun than before. It feels like killers took the patch as an opportunity to play as nasty as humanly possible; just deliberately trying to make sure people don't have fun. The vast majority of my games I would hardly even describe as playable.

I've been playing alot of Fortnite and VHS.

Definitely playing less. I used to play 75% Solo Queue and 25% SWF.

With the update MMR is a disaster and solo queue is unplayable. On top of it my SWF friends also hate the update and have stopped playing. So, my hours a day, every day, have turned into a couple of hours a week, or less, and declining. The BP grind now is miserable on top of it.

I may come back if they fix solo queue but they seem to only care about making the game fun / stupid easy for killers, and not for everyone, so I don’t know if I’ll every actually come back.

They need to put the same energy they put into cosmetics into fixing and balancing the game the right way, and maybe the numbers will stop plummeting into the ground. Soon there won’t be enough people playing to purchase the 5000th Meg skin.

I also expect the killers will bore of the brainless matches soon, if it’s not happening already.

Without the double blood point bonus from BBQ, I've definitely been playing less, especially considering there's no incentives active right now. People love their blood points, and without the ability to earn extra blood points the game is a slog to play through.

I don't know what I feel reading this. So many good people here having a miserable time. I'm happy I am not alone but I really hope everyone can get their fun back to the game we all love <3

Hoper you are reading this devs.
