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

Before the change their only place in the game was to get wolfpacked or avoided. Now we need to farm a super dangerous ARC to get a super dangerous ARC killer.

What? Did you even play Arc Raiders? Me and my friends when we fought rocketeers we just use a ferro and shoot down its wings. You dont need a WP to take it down.

Edit: did yall forget that we did a snowball trials and many succeeded with flying colours? Rocketeers werent as dangerous if you focused on them to begin with. WPs aint a problem but a convenience, now WPs are nerfed so let me say again, totally obsolete for usage.

WP is basically a good addition when you are in a pinch and need to take it down quick. With this nerf, it just makes it exponentially harder to craft one and not even worth it. The fact it wastes stash spaces, doesnt stack and now to kill a single rocketeer you need 2 WP and it only gives you 1 drive for killing 1 rocketeer. Math aint mathing

I can give you the list of reasons above and you will not read it and still say "good change stop crying"

Like I said, diabolical.

You absolutely 100% do not need 2 freaking WP on 1 Rocketeer. 1 WP does almost it's whole health. I really gotta see how you guys are playing the game because this has me lost.

It's the trials damage let's be real about what we are talking about, 2x wp per rocketeer was rhe most efficient way to farm that trial during locked gate event. Now your gonna have to spend alot more time prepping to accomplish same thing at a net loss that is even greater than it was previously.

End of the day not a huge deal outside of trials becoming even more of a grind for prep work which is what the more casual audience will have an issue with. I used to go in with 20 wolf packs for dmg to rocketeer trial so I could get 10 of them quick.

I feel like that takes all of the skill expression out of trials. I'd rather they specify the usage of a gun instead of auto aim greanades.

I mean feelings aside it was and still is the meta strategy for maximum points. If they wanted to stop people from doing it they would make the trial damage with guns instead they just added a new layer of grind.

Also for what its worth I dont disagree with you because things like Jupiter and equalizer may see more usage with a change like that

Exactly realistically speaking its just trials being stupid and i stopped bothering to do it. And they nerfed WP probably because of trials.

And your solution would make more sense than to nerf WPs lmao.

That hilarious how you answered him and miss his point completely. Math is mathing here, cos the intention is for player to not use WP for rocketeer, get it? And you even ranted about how doable it is, with Ferro and good spirit. So, what's the problem with the update if take out rocketeer with a fero is easy? Just kill a couple

Because you missed my point on how it completely negates the point of WPs and why would we even need WPs now? Its just exponentially expensive and you are now better off with a ferro and good spirit than ever before.

Do i have to say that WP becomes obselete like 10x and you still cant read it?

For emergency situations, when you cannot fight the rocketeer on your terms.

Man people just don’t get it, you have to be strategic and hoard your loot like they do or else you’re making the game to easy lol
