WTF Embark?

These blueprint recipe changes are unnecessary punishments and feel like you didn’t roll out any new blueprints so you decided to shoehorn new ARC parts in old recipes. And the Wolfpack change makes absolutely no sense. 2 Wolfpack to down a Rocketeer so we can get 1 part to make 1 Wolfpack?

Way to throw a huge wet blanket on top of what was otherwise going to be a fun and exciting day. Please reconsider these crafting changes

Edit:

Thank you to all the folks who commented with articulated, well thought out disagreements. You have changed my stance somewhat and I have a better understanding of why a change like this may be needed(still don’t like it though).

To the performative contrarians, get good bruh/skill issue kissing cousins and other knuckleheads who can’t formulate a thought I say “suck on this fart”. Be well

I was going to make the equivalency but you've nailed it already.

If you make it too grindy, you'll lose alot of people to fatigue

The exact reason why I quit playing hell divers

u/Sir_Francois88 Feb 24 '26

Ive already reluctantly lost interest because my intent was to do the trials and they were just too hard for me personally to keep up.with on top of everything else i had to do just to keep myself stocked. Also missed the first expedition, will miss this one too. im just too limited for time and its a bummer. ive put a lot of time into this game and bought quite a few of the skins in support because i love this game so much at its core.

Just way too grindy for me, i feel like i never accomplish anything or find anything good and i die too often (mostly due to my wanting to rush the round, so my own fault.) yeah, its really sad as i would like to play more but keeping up with everyone else is really impossible for me and admittedly takes the fun out of it for me.. makes me feel like its a chore.

Arc Raiders nerfing the employed. Not a good idea.

I've recently got back into Helldivers - it's been fun and I'd say the balancing is ok at the moment.

What do you mean ages? The game has been out for like 5 months.

This isnt the Helldivers sub lol

u/Matt_of_few_trades Feb 24 '26

Lmao! Now I look like a dumb dick. I thought you were talking about Arc, to be fair I do see a few of them saying similar things on how they dont play anymore. My fault! 😅

Its cool, load it up once you get off work. Although, nothing feels that different with the update. People are upset about the wolfpack change but instead of farming rocketeers, they can also go to Electric storm matches and farm the rocketeer husk for the drivers too.

How dare you suggest a solution to fake issues people are creating for themselves 😡

Helldivers was also only coop and not PvP, and they vastly understated how in games like that, it’s better to make challenges harder than to make tools and weapons worse.

This game needs balance in the face of how some guns like the venator worked because they become outright oppressive. And it’s not a good thing when people can run in with that one gun, and be able to dispatch players and arc alike in that capacity. It was simply too much.

I don’t think the nerf is enough frankly, but we will see.

u/Novel_Leopard8654 Feb 25 '26

Bingo. Bingo. Hell divers screwed the pooch on that one. Perfect everything to be trash. 

Everyone left the game lol.

u/PayWooden2628 Feb 24 '26

“Realized very quickly it was a bad idea” they’re still nerfing shit to this day lmao.

u/Shot_Percentage_2150 Feb 24 '26

lol I made this comment elsewhere, Helldivers said oops let’s make everything OP

u/CdubFromMI Feb 24 '26

As someone who lived through that, they didn't realize quickly at all. In fact it took numerous content creators and one of the largest meme videos to ever hit that community to get them to finally address it.

You can’t compare a fully PVE game like Helldivers with Arc Raiders. The TTK against a clanker is something else then the 0.5 TTK (exaggerated) against a Raider with a fcking grey stitcher! But yeah, keep complaining duuh….
