I've become mentally exhausted from playing DBD

DBD used to be my favorite game and still is, but I have grinded so much lately ESPECIALLY during the anniversary event, and I have had so many bad experiences that I just gave up. I played one game today and I was already put up.
It was a doctor, just the first 1 minute of the game my teammate Dc'ed, and I don't blame them. So I dc'ed with them because I was already fed up after being spammed with his ability and hearing my character scream every 2 seconds.
I have been playing a lot less and I have just become exhausted. I know some friends that have also felt this way. I think I will take a little break from DBD and just wait until things get better

The grinding during the event wore me down a bit too. Don't let the game live in your head rent free if you can help it. Focus on other things in the meantime until you feel like playing again.
Pretty much this, though I can understand if it's your favorite game that it might be hard to do. I've been playing today, burnt out, trying to force myself to write a little bit since that's another one of my hobbies. I haven't done it but I do really need to take a break for at least a little while. We all should really.
At least it was a doctor, the only killer i get is ruin undying blight and the game is over in 2m cuz my team cant handle it
True, thanks for the advice <333
There's a good compromise if you need both as well, in the form of doing something creative inspired by the game. The modding community is a good opportunity for that, or drawing, cosplaying, etc.
Offline bot matches will be coming with the mid chapter update, and honestly I can't wait. What better way to blow off steam after a sweaty, toxic match than abusing some poor bots?😄
Brilliant idea!
lmao
Literally same.
I don't know what's occured with Blight lately, but I get him at least 3 times a day.
I took a break for around a year. This is the only game that I felt better mentally when I wasn't playing it. It felt good to quit. I'm "back" for now but I'm not sure that I'll stay for more than a few weeks or spend any money. BHVR is frustrating.
Taking a break from 22 to 29. That "event", i mean the cakes, got me good.
Yeah same
Yeah, im probally going to be taking a loooong break
Part of the issue with the burn out is that the game's grind is so horrible outside of the very infrequent events that you feel forced to burn yourself out whenever an event comes around.
Its entirely understandable for it to become exhausting as you're kinda forced to go all out during them.
Mind you this problem is ENTIRELY of the dev's own making with letting the game's current grind get this out of control + increasingly infrequent events.
I find that if I am not playing Nurse, Spirit, or Freddy the game just ends in 4min's to the survivors doing gens too fast. When I play survivor I have to go out of my way to do other things than Gen's just to prolong the game longer to get some actual points.
3 awful chapters in a row will do that to you, im feeling the same right now too tbh.
Y'all clearly don't understand what Doctor is about when you talk about him that way. He "spams" you with his ability because that's what denies you the pallet drop or the window vault. You can drop the pallet early, making him take way longer to get you, or keep running to the next loop when he first goes for his shock.
Which can still get pretty annoying. I say this with Doc being one of my mains.
Can you play with all killers or are you still forced to play no addon Trapper on Mcmillan?
Good.
Don't let something like a videogame destroy you.
Just run Calm Spirit.
Did you not get the main idea of the post??
I feel that. I am also kinda burned out from the event, I mean I am happy, I have now over 60 cakes on Blight, Oni, Wraith and Doc but I guess I will take a break until the double bloodpoints event comes to finish prestiging the rest and then I will take another longer break for a while.
Ofc I know I dont have to play every day and sweat so much but its more like a obsession or addiction to grind out events, I did the same in World of warcraft so these kind of grinds are still stuck in my brain xD
I'm in the same boat tbh, I've pretty much dropped the game for the time being, and been playing dead space, the re franchise and the evil within 2
i dropped the game mid event it become so flustrating with bugs random dc mostly on console players side, the over all toxicity.
Now im dacieded to re-play dragon age series and ot be honest i forget how fun games can be when you dont accure a bug,lag any the major problems that dbd has and devs tent to work really slowly on them
Playing or doing that one thing too much will cause issues a lot of times. Remember there are other games/hobbies to attend to.
Figured someone would reply with something like that, lol.
The offline bot matches will play separate from the tutorial. The developer update stated that tutorials can't assist with real world experience so the bot matches will reflect everything you can do in a live setting. So essentially anything you can do in a custom match you should be able to do in the offline bot matches.
That's so good to hear, probably the best thing in this patch for me
Now I can learn hard killers with controller without giving ez wins to survivors
Honestly I feel the same! Practicing mechanics that you're not used to in a live setting against far more experienced players does not make for a good learning tool. Nothing worse than engaging in sweaty match after sweaty match just so you can practice a new killer.
