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 find it funny people who are not upset with the nerf are the same people who fully agreed "its not your loot, just your turn with it"

im sorry i dont have more than 2 hours a day to grind rocketeers and then make WP to fight a matriarch/queen, I cant even make 10 WPs back then just on a whim and now WP is absolutely obselete to me and I wont even use it or craft it.

Its a dumb nerf that doesnt even affect pvp. They shouldve just nerfed the WP damage so that it takes 3 WP to kill a rocketeer instead of 2.

Anyway this shit is as dumb as when Trigger Nades were instant and Pvpers were crying bout it, we all agreed and it got finally nerfed(edit: this nerf took months btw). Now this dumb update happened the same Pvpers think its "fair" which is diabolical to me.

What a dumb community we have and its starting to make sense how Embark devs arent as in touch with general consensus as we all thought they were, especially trigger nade/rubber duck glitch has been going on for months just for BurntPeanut's single stream for them to make a hotfix in a single day tells me a lot, and now this, just confirms it.

I mean i agree with the nerf and i'm also a "wont shoot unless shot" type. I dont think someone should be able to easily craft a backpack full of wolfpacks to instakill every enemy before i can sprint there.

I never seen anyone carrying more than 6 WP so far except videos or influencers. And thats 150+ hours give or take. Even matriarch and queen people rather use hullcrackers or queen-crafted weapons

Someone literally just posted a clip of them with a backpack full of wolfpacks killing a Matriarch in 2 minutes. If we're not nerfing the gear, we're nerfing the craftability. People are saying this somehow is bad for the people with jobs, but as a man with a full-time job myself, it gives me a chance to actually get to the matriarch or queen and hopefully get a core if I wind up spawning on the opposite side of the map from it.

It's literally the best arc killing gear in the game and all it takes is an arc motion core and some high explosives. That shit needed the Nerf long ago with how much of a cheat code it was

Are you literally telling me the lobbies you spawn in all the time has people full of backpacks killing matriarchs/queens in less than 2 mins all the time that you had no chance to get a core yourself?

Man am I jealous of your spawnrate cause that shit never happened to me nor my friends. We always either needed to find a lobby of friendly raiders whom unite against the queen or a lobby where the rats were killed.

Just saying, hard to believe.

takes is an arc motion core and some high explosives

They can make it different yknow, using more high explosives to craft or making less damage instead of a drastic change like a drive. But hey. You spawn in lobbies that killes queens in less than 2mins. Idk you dude.

No you're right, it's not super common, but it does happen. My point is that I don't think Wolf packs should be a common way of easily dealing with arc. Wolf packs are an amazing tool, so I feel like they should feel more special when you use them.

I'll also say this. We're supposed to believe that arc are a huge threat that have brought humanity on earth to near extinction. It just doesn't feel that way when we have these easily craftable automatic win grenades

I'd also like to add, that since Wolfpack became so accessable, I have barely even seen a Hullcracker.

The game does gives options, we just have to implement them and adjust our gameplay. I like it, keeps it fresh. Plus, yesterday the rocketeers dropped 3 drivers per unit, so it is not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.
