Does anyone feel guilty when taking a break?

nope. I was like that but I just stopped feeling guilty at some point.

Up until 2 weeks ago I hadn't played for 2yrs. My only regret is breaking that streak because NOTHING HAS CHANGED ABOUT THE GAME

Yes i did have a problem with playing this game a lot a few months ago even when i did not want to just because i felt like i should be playing because i liked the game. I liked the game so i was getting mad when i wasn't enjoying it.

I have a bit of a different perspective now and i only play the game if i feel like it's worth playing. Every now and then i like to get my DBD fix.

I've been playing a lot less but at least once every 2 days i think. But more importantly i am enjoying the game much more and i am more appreciative of it.

I suggest being kind to yourself and doing what you want to do and not do what you think you should do.

I think there is things that people want to do and then there's they want to do because of what will happen if they don't do it.

Playing a game could fall into the 2nd one because of FOMO.

In my experience though playing a game only because of FOMO leads to burnout quick.

I enjoy games the most when i want to play it and then the limited time things serve as an additional incentive and not the main reason.

Nowadays fomo is not the only thing that makes me play games because fomo usually involves limited time rewards but if i don't want to play at that time then those rewards are not going to be any good anyways. Because those rewards most likely don't solve the reason why i am not playing in the first place.

I hope reading my thoughts may help you a little with this.

No, these events always give you more than enough time to acquire everything they have to offer. And there is almost always something going on (XP event, bloodhunt, tome, etc., etc.), and you can't do nothing but play if you want to be a whole human being.

For a while I was committed to getting double iri 1 every month, but then I realized the BP reward isn't really significant, so I stopped that.

I do play too much DBD, but "guilt" or FOMO aren't what is driving that. It's that the game is so easy to play and then stop, and is a nice bite sized dose of dissociation.

Nah, there's really nothing to chase. Bloodpoints and prestige grind don't really matter to me. No real reward system or ranked play so whenever I do take a break, I know I'm not missing out on anything important.

We don't feel bad when talking breaks but we will grind through a day if there's something we actually want (last thing was Carmina's blue dress). If we missed out, maybe sad far a day and move on. It's all a game to us.

An aside, if you've really been up for a day please take a breather. We genuinely don't want to see ya burn out for this reason.

In a way, yes. More challenges to complete... participated in the winter event but missed out on the summer one. Lately (as I have "covered" an entire year) not so much.

Not so much. I always keep thinking how it would be nice to finish the rift and get to iri 1 for the BP but then I don't feel like playing DBD in a few days and leave it at that. Most of the stuff in the rift I'll never use anyway.

I have so many charms that I just can't be bothered to look through them anymore and a recolor for a skin that I don't like on a killer that I don't play isn't all that interesting either.

I'll be here for Freddy's tome though. Day and night.

You have plenty of time to do the tome, no need to rush..

Take care of your self first and foremost, this is a game and IF you miss out on the tome, there will be a new one later. No need to stress.
