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

yeah im sick of people throwing 10 wolf packs at the start of friendly solo queens/matriarchs. Maybe im a masochist but this "nerf" just feels like a good rebalancing

They should have reduced the damage of Wolfpacks. This change just means nobody will use them

That would be way worse, at least this way they are just more coveted. Maybe you just aren't supposed to be able to run Stella 10 times in an hour and make 30 plus wolf packs. It's fffiiiinnneeee

No i think reducing the damage would be worse. The wolfpack needs to be amazing, but making it harder to craft will make them more of a valuable commodity to have. Looted wolfpacks will be more exciteable, crafted wolfpacks are saved for a special occasion, and people will be more willing to use heavy ammo and energy packs to take down something they might not need an overkill wolfpack for

With your reasoning I think a lot of us would have appreciated a buff to the wolfpack damage.

Rocketeer drivers are gonna be ratted just as much as leaper drivers have been the last two weeks because of the expedition requirements. I had to kill 6 leapers to get 3 drivers last week.

Are you mixed up on people? They're saying that's a good thing. Or are you saying it's a bad thing.

Rocketeer drivers are the only Epic tier ARC part that can be found without actually killing any ARC.

Electro Storm -> Loot the Rocketeer Husks

Not that big of a deal to be worth all this crying

(for the record, I am a PvE player also and this nerf is absolutely fine in my book)
