Sessions are a bit to long...
I started my first mission yesterday, at around 21:00. I thought maybe it will be over at 22:00... but it ended up beeing 23:00 and I just finished starting the second generator in the basement... and then I had to log out because I have to get up early for work. I dont know how long it would have taken me to finish the mission... maybe till midnight.

Thats 3 hours for one mission... I could have played like 6-10 missions in Dead by Daylight in that time, or watch 2 complete movies. Is there a way to make missions shorter or was it just me taking to long? I do not have the time to play 3 hours in one session without a break :(

I mean thats 3 hours where I am not able to respond to anything outside the game, like my wife or my kid, if they want something from me. Its not like, give me 5 mins and I'll be there.. its, oh sorry this is taking 1-2 more hours...

Can someone tell me what their normal mission times are?

Really???
No way...

Are you just running through the map with SHIFT on hold and dont care about anything? I would have said even when the map is empty, the pure way you have to walk takes longer than 15 min.... That sounds impossible to me.

For the police mission about an hour if you're not getting lost. First time playing it took a long time because my group didn't know the layout at all. We cut it down to about 30 mins after 3-4 runs.

once you know when its safe to move fast and where you have to goit can be done pretty quickly. also coop is a lot easier than solo (although it does depend on the ppl and mission). the first mission usually doesnt take longer than 30 minutes tbh

basically, just close doors behind you as you run

There are a ton of YT videos of people beating ALL of the currently available content and earning freedom in under 4 hours.

So I can only speak for myself, but I need more than an hour for the big trial and 30 min+ for the small ones

Basically I only play single player so I have to do everything by myself and it really takes too long for my taste!

But everyone can see it the way they want!

From my experience starting off the big trails initially took about an hour to complete. Now the same runs on higher difficulties take about 20-25 minutes with the shortest trails taking less than 15 minutes.

Don't be discourage. Its okay that your first few runs take a lot longer since you are learning the layout and the gameplay.

It depends on the players.... the police station took me 3 hours on my first try... and on my 2nd it took about an hour and a half....

It just depends on the players involved... and if the AI gets insane.... had a few moments where we literally walked into the police station with 4 AI monsters just wailing on us right from the start.... then we had the tall boy refusing to leave the snitch .... made it hard to push him...

So it can take awhile per trial... but really the ones that are doing it fast... are kinda speed runners... and they have done it many times... I would say the bulk of the people encountered our similar experience of time on there first playthrough

I just think its a little bit stupid that you get nothing if you cancel a mission.

I mean I completed like 6 tasks and collected all 3 wall pictures and you get not single penny after the game :(

They should implement an early exit method... like an emergency exit door on the stages or something like that, where you can go through and escape for like 25% of the rewards, that would be nice if you just run out of time because real life calls you unexpected.
