Exhaustion needs a update
This update targeting Dead Hard is fine, but there isn't much counter play to Sprint Burst. Even if you bring Fearmonger, there's just all these opportunities to 99 your recovery.
In my opinion there should be a pause timer on recovering exhaustion if you sprint for more than 5 second or something. It just makes exhaustion make more sense instead of exploiting 99 like you did back in old renditions of Sprint Burst when you didn't even have exhaustion. The only main killer perk built to counter act it can be cheesed out of it's use and we are going to be seeing a lot more sprint burst stuff now that Dead hard is being changed again.
Taking hit after hit while running non stop and stopping for 1 second to turn on a perk is getting really silly and an old headache.
Or increase the time Fearmonger makes you exhausted for but that's not as practical as my first suggestion.

We still have 2 more weeks of the DH meta and we're already complaining about SB? Say it ain't so, and after all those reddit posts I read saying this exact thing wouldn't happen!

There is no way I read complains about SB. Literally one of the most well designed survivor’s perk. It is hard to control your SB and requires skill. You can’t just 99 and then activate by button, you need to know the timings.

Wow, people are really complaining about SB now lmao
You say Fearmonger helps to 99, but then what? People can recover if they’re on a gen, so they need to spend 40 seconds doing something else, what’s the problem with that?

It's not the Sprint Burst that is the issue, it's exploiting the 99ing mechanic.

Literally the only thing worth complaining about Sprint Burst is how predictable it is.
Oh wow, you're slowly walking away from me, gee I wonder if you have it or not.

thats not exploiting. It’s a mechanic in the game :) "exploiting" is using merciless storm after being aware of its bug :). Using a mechanic the developers put there is not exploitation.

A mechanic designed to limit how often you can use a perk is being used in a way to promise a second use of it. Yeah, that doesn't exactly scream "intended use".

My brother in christ, using the perk in a way that you can reliably keep a 99% on your exhaustion and waste as much of the killers time as possible is not an exploit, it's something that actually takes practice.
Most Sprint Bursters just slowly walk until you're almost in striking distance. This entire conversation is stupid.

Exhaustion was introduced to prevent players from using different exhaustion perks in a row. So 99 exhaustion does not contradict this. You can't SB and use BL after that, and you can't SB twice if you didn’t walk for 40 seconds during the chase.

If you were here years ago like me, the big discussion behind changing Sprint Burst in the first place was because it's meant to be used when you start running, not when you choose to get the burst, you aren't allowed to choose when with it. There's other perks for that now like "Background Player".

Looking at this thread - can we revert proposed DH nerf so people will stop complain about SB? It was absolutely no problem for anyone until killers succeeded in convincing devs to nerf DH. And suddenly, SB is a huge problem for the game. Talk about moving goal posts...

Imagine community on both sides does not complain about useful (def not op) perks every second.
0 -
yeah, if 99ing sprintburst is an exploit, so is 99ing anything else (heals, stalk, gates, gens, etc)
0 -
its more bhvr... SB and Lithe will be 100% meta its bhvrs politic "meta = nerf", But what bhvr doesn't notice is that they're going in circles, there will always be a certain meta in every game the best is played, the question is how long bhvr needs to understand that 1yr ? 2 ? or more ? we will see this in the future xD

actually if you have conscious knowledge that it shouldn't really be there and its powerful, that's exploiting
0 -
Like we didn't knew already that after the Dead Hard nerf killers will start complaining about Sprint Burst. The hypocrisy at it's finest.
"Sprint Burst if fine!! I prefer 4 SB rather than DH"
3 days later after the DH nerf. Nerf Sprint Burst!!!

I'm talking about 99 exploit forehead
0 -
99'ing Sprint Burst requires the survivor to run around doing nothing to maintain it. Is that really a serious problem?
3 -
So people will complain until every exhaustion perk is nerfed to the ground?
1 -
Pretty much.. survivors can't have anything
3 -
Yes same as gen regression perks. The other side don't want perks that delay the game/delay chases.
0 -
Yknow what else is an exploit? Using flashlights to fake vaults as well as channeling with a key makes you lose your collision :] Nice favoritism
0 -
99 SB has it's problems forehead. And imagine called that as an "exploit" 😂
I can name a lot killer real exploits but I won't. You know them.
0 -
so you're right without facts got it, seems common these days.
0 -
There're people making posts saying we need to nerf sloppy. Both sides are a bit off their rocker.
0 -
nah survivors have too much and everybody on this forum who camps surv has a head weight of tons these days. Good luck talking to them lmaoo

Thats not an exploit. I swear y'all will blame every perk in the game until theyre all nerfed. Then at least you won't have any excuse for being bad.
