Dead hard is fine, learn to bait it out. Literally, B tier perk.

I'm blessed with my console because I never get to see end game chat for the price of ultimate lag and hitches.
Except for when people use xresolver and boot you off.
So, no Endgame chat but also, no WIFI until the disgruntled player decides you can have internet again.

Yeah, it's real.
I have no idea how to tell though. You can reaction DH most things, iirc.

Welcome to the retired killers club 🎉🎈
We have BBQs with chili, puddings as dessert, and we like to play "put the tail to 🐷"
🤣😂
Now jokes aside, its good for everyone to either take a break or not play for a very long time if not having fun. Im a dbd player since 2016 and after playing 2200 Hours... with the current state of the game i don't find it entertaining anymore and its mostly an stressful boring experience.
I used to have neck pain, and it was because of DBD.. but not for playing long hours session because i only have 2200 hours in 6 years which is not much.. but because the game tenses your nerves a lot even if you play only 1 or 2 hours a day. So i recommend all to prioritize their health. I know that i won't play again until serious changes are made to the game but for the ones that are stubborn, if you are not having a good time anymore, just don't play or take a break, your body and mind will be thankful.
I'll still play. I wanted to be honest, so I gave the honest answer. My friends play and I got them into the game, so I can't very well abandon them to it now.
I'll probably check out the Ring chapter, but I'm not going to be buying it myself.

You did indeed, man!
It's really sad to see you go. I only got into dbd in November by buying the Strange Thing's DLC before it was gone, and I have digging this game ever since, playing it nearly every day.
And while I don't have the big picture mode of having seen the game evolve over the years, even I have encountered so many problems and felt the killers burnout. I have never encountered another game that punished you so hard for playing good, like dbd. And if you voice your concern, the empathy-less parts of the community throw shade on you, stating that this is your own fault for playing so sweaty.
A lot of the problems could (properly) tweaked by playing with some numbers, but every change comes a long at a glacial and ponderous pace, and every now and then you get comically bad nerfs for already subpar and underplayed killers like Clown or Twins. It doesn't matter if a single add-on might be a bit too strong, look at the big picture, ffs!
But back to you. I have only been part of this community for a short time, but you stood out as a vocal, knowledgeable individual and I always perked up when I saw your name in one of the responses.
Take your time to sort out your problems. It sounds like they dig deeper then just taking a hiatus from this game, but if this game doesn't give you the kind of escapism that you need right now, then look for something else, at least for the time being.
Thank you

I think its time to recognize that every perk will eventually be complained about, as the current hotness gets nerfed, the next hotness will get complained about incessantly
That doesn't mean that this perk doesn't warrant being looked at.
Are you going to argue that old Object of Obsession was fine because people "complained about it incessantly"?

For real. Just realizing what percentages and small nuts and bolts are discussed about, turned, dialed and patched in DOTA regularly, in order to balance stuff out.
Things like CoH, DH or Ruin/Corrupt wouldn't fly over there for so long. And yet we have some long-standing problems in DBD, that constantly burn out players of both sides, and even frustrate some of the communities best and most passionate players.
I know that people like Otz are "just some streamers" to most, but this people also have a passion for the game and such insights. I bet if BHVR implemented all his "my changes for every killer" and made it a PTB it would work much better then many of the arbitrary (seaming) changes we got in the last balance patches.
The community has many great ideas, yet nearly nothing of it gets realized. Tweaking the numbers should be something that should be done much, much more regularly, like every two weeks, and then furthet tweaked. You will never achieve a such balanced game, that every perk or option sees the same kind of play, but we got So. Many. Dead. Perks right now, that aren't just useful, not even in specialized or meme builds, and that's just sad.
Yes.
I think most people wouldn't have an issue with bad changes (like Deathslinger's) if patches didn't come out once every 2 months.
Changing 10 perks and 2 Killers a patch was fine when there were 12 Killers. It's just not going to cut it anymore. The game has grown exponentially and the patch notes should reflect that.

You did fine.
If they wanted you to be able to loop effectively and save the Dwight, they should've healed you.

@QwQw said:
Damn. Sucks to hear you're not enjoying the game anymore. I kinda got the impression you weren't from some of your posts.
I hope you can find another game that will bring you happiness!
Truthfully, I haven't enjoyed it for a while.
I've just been pushing myself along with the hope that it's gonna get better.

Can we talk about how new players who want the full DBD experience have to either grind the game for hundreds of hours (it's like 700 iirc) or spend 200 USD on DLC?
Not to detract from your point, those changes are good.

I was going to buy Civ VI on my Xbox, but the sale ENDED.
oh nooo that sucks man!
i know that feeling all to well... you'll get it next time, im sure!
as for the games you've mentioned, personally i havent played them - im not that interested in story driven games (i do like watching people lets play them, but im not very into playing them myself for some reason).
but since you mentioned strategy games, now i have to ask: have you played / heard of the Advance Wars series before?
granted, its not a PC game (the first two titles were for the Gameboy Advance and the third for the Nintendo DS), but despite its age i think the series has held up very well. Its one of my all time favourite game series (i boot up my old Nintendo DS just for that game to this day) and if you are into strategy games its something you might want to look into (you can download an emulator on your PC to play them on if you dont have the needed hardware).
also, in early 2022 (so sometime in the next 2 to 3 months) an official reboot of the first two games releases on the Nintendo Switch and i am super hyped for that!
Haha, as a matter of fact, I still have my original DS and 3DS lying around somewhere.

I enjoyed Dying Light and will be playing the 2nd game, so I'd enjoy seeing the Volatile.

@JPLongstreet said:
@Pulsar more than anyone else you proudly and sensibly represented us consolers and our fustrated passion for this game. Given what you went into on this post I have even more respect for you, a bar that was already quite high, and am amazed you booted up DBD for this long.
A lot of what you stated obviously festered over time and recent changes just pushed you on over. I hope getting all this out now plus this break (forever or not) genuinely does you good.
The list of what is worth our physical and/or mental health is quite short indeed.
Let's hope it does. I can't keep deluding myself or telling myself the game will be better in 3 months.
It just doesn't happen for me.

@Mister_xD said:
i wholeheartedly agree.
lately this game and the Dev team bahind it have chosen paths that i simply can not back up and / or follow them on, so i totally understand your feelings here (for example in regards to the NFT controversy).
its a shame, really. DbD could be such a great game, but its just not. The Devs either fail to see the issues with this game or they deliberately choose not to address them, focussing their attention on either new content or unnecessary and / or unwanted changes to already existing content instead.
i could go on for a long time on why exactly i dislike this game nowadays and why i stopped playing myself, but i honestly dont have the motivation for it anymore. Thats partially because i strongly believe the Devs know full well what is wrong with this game, but because its such an fundamental issue they wont address it, because it'd require them to fundamentally rework how this game functions (the issue im referring to here are generators by the way. they are inherently flawed in their design philosophy and are extremely unhealthy for this game, yet so fundamental that reworking them would require a lot of work, time and dedication).
anyway, i wish you the best on your journey!
and just out of personal interest:
what other games do you have in mind that you want to play more now?
or, if you dont have anything specific, what kind of genre do you enjoy?
as for me, that would be either casual party games where i can just relax and have a bit of fun (e.g. Team Fortress 2), or competetive (but not too competetive) strategy games that have a high skill ceiling where i can see myself improving and getting better the more time i spend on them (e.g. Advance Wars). Im also pretty interested in the indie horror genre with games such as Inscryption, Dark Deception or Little Nightmares.
I'd like to play BF2042. I've had a great time with it so far. I'd also like to finish Far Cry 3 and AC: Black Flag.
I usually like strategy games, like Empire Total War, but I've never had the PC to play newer one's. I was going to buy Civ VI on my Xbox, but the sale ENDED.

Not sure if it makes you feel any better, regarding the sickness, but I have a lot of respect for you and that does not come easy. I give everyone some respect by default, but I genuinely believe it needs to be earned.
I thought you were a really good representative for the console killer community. I know this is just an internet thing and we do not know each other, but I really feel the impact you have had and based on a lot of the other reactions, I am far from alone. I am really happy you are deciding to stick around even if you do not regularly play. The world would be a better place if more people were like you homie.
And always remember... GG EZ, baby killer.
It does make me feel better. It gives me, satisfaction I think, to know that I've done something worthwhile and have impacted people positively. I couldn't leave this Forum even if I wanted to. Far too many good people here, like you.
GG EZ, my friend.

Well at the very least don't give up hope and keep trying. If your case is as you say, a mystery, it's a benefit to society to learn more about what's going on.
I'm far too stubborn to give up. But I've been across the USA and Canada to different specialists and nobody has given me an answer yet.
But thank you for the words of encouragement

You're right. Making the game free on epic seems like a desperate attempt to flush in fresh meat.
Which also opened the gate for an increased number of cheaters that just want to ruin everyone else's day.
Yeah, that's what me and my friends thought too.
Putting the game on EGS? That's fine. Making it FREE? Red flags.

Sorry to see you go, but for what it's worth: you're in good company. Over 30% of Steam users have quit DbD over the last six months, with more leaving every day.

I don't understand these threads. Actually they're laughable. Either you play the game or not. It's not that deep, not deep at all. You make it deep, for whatever reasons. Life issues I assume.

Thanks.
Appreciate the feedback.

I think you are not the only one who thinks like this. Active player stats on steam are shrinking every month. Some people just take a break for a few months. Others uninstall permanently because of how toxic this community can be.
We have streamers that get DDOSed and people who would threaten their families.
Behavior needs to step up their game and do something quickly. Their stance of "this game thrives on frustration" needs to change. Its not a healthy stance.
I agree.

100% agree. I respect @Pulsar, but I don't get why people take this game so serious. It's not a job. Take some time off if you need it. Hell, I took a 6-month break about a year or so ago. It can really make you feel a lot better.
I explain why I have a difficult time in a response.
I do not think a break will make me feel better. It may raise my tolerance level, but it is unlikely to resolve my issues with the game.

7.5k on Empire is one of the strangest combinations I've ever heard. I'd much rather have gone for Shogun II (in that time period).
I told my grandma I liked strategy computer games so she bought the newest one she saw. I think I was 7? Maybe?

Practically? Sure, they're different. But you can get caught in the same emotional response, and we're not biologically locked into viewing jobs that way--it's all our social and mental responses. It's pretty easy for a game to take the same sort of place in your head.
Which is why something has gone very wrong if a made-for-fun activity is generating this sort of burnout regularly (and the downward trend of players). There's something very wrong with the amount of stress involved.
As someone who has played a lot of 'competitive' games in the past, like Siege and Overwatch, the stress of DBD is extremely high, especially as Killer. I'm trying to be careful here, because I do not want this to be an us vs them thing.
I'd most liken it to a 1v5 clutch scenario in Siege. You know the game is riding on you and you alone. If you screw up, everyone is going to know and blame it on you.

thats a lot lmao, I'm not really far behind. Theres probably 2-3 days a month where I don't log onto DbD since I got it the game, and it has been my main game since I got it back in May 2017. some say I got hooked
That was a bad pun, but I'm feeling generous so I'm not going to meme you for it.

It goes on sale pretty frequently on steam so I'd imagine it goes on sale on PS/Xbox pretty frequently as well.
And yeah I get that, there are those days/nights where nothing goes your way. I have those all the time but thats why I have multiple games to play, if I'm not feeling one of them I jump to the other. And then there are those occasional nights where nothing goes my way. So thats why I have a few singleplayer games I hop between so I still have something to do to keep me entertained.
I know its kind of a thing, but the civ games are genuinely good too :)
I have 7500 hours on Empire Total War. I like strategy games.
I was gonna buy Civ 6 on my Xbox but the sale ran out before I could get to the store.

@Dino7281 said:
I am currently on like 3 months break. Just many reasons combined SBMM, Grade resets, CoH, validation, my main killer nerfed to ######### and probably some other things I have rather forgot.
Some of those things just took away fun I used to have and grades actually made it more like a work for me.
I enjoyed roleplayers, just doing fun things. For some reason it got quite rare, I had to actually force players to Boop The Snoot, that's how bad it was.
This mid-chapter did nothing really worth coming back for me. I will maybe try some games with Legion changes.
Considering the changes in the past, whilst I do want Legion (and Ghostface) changes, I have little faith that they will be good.
I hope i'm wrong.

From the way OP makes it out they're already becoming depressed with every game they play.
Sure it might be a bit disorienting at first, breaking the normal schedule. But eventually everything will settle and if they feel like they want to return to DbD, there is nothing stopping them. And if he doesn't feel like returning there is nothing stopping them.
I think I've booted up DBD once a day (at least) since 2018.

I don't think it's pathetic.
As someone who is also 99% of my time at home also for health related things, I can relate. I have over 5k hours in this game, so I can also see the perspective of someone who has played a lot.
Games can be addictive, and I understand that sometimes it's not easy to quit, but you shouldn't force yourself to play something that makes you feel the need to get validation from a psychologist on reddit and isn't bringing you any join.
This game is not a job (unless you're a streamer and are making money out of it), if you quit you wont lose income, you can just play something else.
Sure, you'll feel like you wasted a lot of time on it, but to waste even less time, you have to actually stop.
Yeah, I know.
I've tried my hardest to make it work, but I guess there's no shame in admitting that there isn't anything left for me.

I mean hey if you want a good, fun, and pretty competitive game that you can play solo or with friends. Hunt: Showdown
I myself am not a huge fan of shooters but this game is probably one of the more unique and fun I've ever played. It takes PvEvP and executes it perfectly. I haven't been playing all too much DbD these days because of it. There's a lot more that I could get into but it would turn into a literal game review.
And from what I'm experiencing, games aren't too bad. They are when you have a bad mindset how ever. Again, just take a step back and drop DbD for a bit. Trust me it'll help in the long run
I've heard a lot about Hunt. Some of my DBD friends left DBD for it too. I might check it out if it goes on sale.
As to your point with games, in the span of three days, I lost 30 games with Nurse and then got facecamped for most of the night.
Trust me, my games are pretty garbage.

As sad as it sounds, this community means a lot to me. I can put my knowledge and my experience to use. I can feel proficient and good at something despite my health. Even though I've rarely agreed with you, I've valued everyone of our interactions.
Maybe that's pathetic, but I don't have a lot to feel good about these days.

@Shroompy said:
Sad to see a respected member of the forums like yourself fall like this, but I don't understand why and how do you view this game like its some sort of job? Unless you're like a streamer and I'm not aware of it there is nothing really to lose if you stop playing, or hell even taking a break
I myself have been playing for 4 and a half years, I've had my ups and downs with this game and every time I saw it go downwards I would take Mathieu's advice the way it was meant, play something else.
If you're not having fun with something, don't do it. Thats what games are for, to have fun. Thats what pretty much every one on this forum does, they play DbD for fun. Most of them wont admit it for some odd reason, but there is a reason that they come back again and again.
So, want to hear my advice? Literally uninstall the game and don't come back to it for a time that you think is best for you, it can be a week, 2 weeks, a month or even multiple months. The game will most likely still be here to welcome you back with open arms and hopefully you'll be back with a fresh and clear mind.
Mostly because I don't have anything else to play and the fact that I'm extremely competitive.
Even if I took a break, it wouldn't really change anything. My matches would still be ######### on both sides. Maybe my tolerance of them would be higher, but that wouldn't change the nature of the game.
The fundamental issues I have with the game are unlikely to be resolved.
