Taking breaks from the game

Curious how often players are taking a break from the game, playing something else, or just simply doing something else? D1 - I think I had a 3-week stretch when I did not play at all. Don't remember exactly when, could have been Rise of Iron maybe. D2 - Well I am currently sitting on a 5-week break (though I did get in last Friday to run around the Tower and pick up JuJu quest but logged out shortly after) that will turn into a 7+ week break with summer vacation and other stuff. Found myself sitting on the couch several weeks ago and just had a "meh" feeling, almost a moment of clarity, when I just didn't want to do it any more. Don't get me wrong, I love the game (though have my issues with it just like everyone), and I obviously still review the forums, etc. but the desire to play is not there right now. Really feels like the state of the game is that players are always a finger tip away from the dangling carrot and then it gets a little farther out, you get closer and it gets farther out again, etc. Part of it is work and life in general that is busy and I really don't have the time for a grind. Also, have taken the opportunity to play other games. Spider-Man is very enjoyable, a bit repetitive but a nice change of pace. Picked up MK11 too; not much of a fighting game guy but it's fun to play something different and don't feel like I have to put a ton of time in. Anywho, just curious what others have done or think.

    You can find out exactly how long you've taken breaks, including longest streak, between D1 and D2 here: https://chrisfried.github.io/secret-scrublandeux/ Credit to Reddit user [url=https://www.reddit.com/user/chrisfried]/u/chrisfried[/url] For myself, my longest break from D2 has been 10 days and longest active streak was 29 days.

  • I work as an engineer on a yacht. Away for 8 weeks at a time and only home for 4. Can play bits when I’m away but my internet connection is too poor to do anything too involved. Then when I’m home for the 4 weeks, I play almost every day for at least an hour, usually more. By the end of a pretty intense 4 weeks of playing I’m kind of ready to leave it for a bit but I’m always looking forward to playing by the time my 8 week trip is coming to an end.

  • I have taken all of seasons 3-6 off from the game. Came back for season 7 to catch up on everything ans see if I wanted to get the next expansion. Honestly don't feel like I've missed much during those seasons. Played alot of other games I had collecting dust, finally 100% a bunch of other games I was close to doing but never got around to doing. At most during D1 it was about a 2 week break at any time and I came right back to do an event that was happening or something else in the game.
