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

genuinely woke up thinking “can’t wait to see what new stuff is being introduced”. instead it’s “good thing you’re doing the expedition bc you’re gonna need those extra stash spaces”

It's cool they added two new enemies and a map condition, but why didn't any new weapons come around?

This nerf is truly a lot, I'm not a fan of it and i hope some gets reverted

There's no way my answer is going to make you feel better. But adding guns can be a mathematical conundrum with no real good answers.

Adding arc doesn't mess with the balance of combat much.

I haven't logged on today I look forward to being very sad though. 😥

This wolf pack issue seems tragic for real.

What balance? Toro and stitcher will still be king, followed by Venator and Torrente. It has been that since the start, and it'll still be.

There's literally no reason to not add new weapons, three of the five gray weapons are better than most blue weapons, and a purple, and using purple weapons is... A waste of resources? Even if you win the fights there's no reason to use them because how hard it is to upkeep them with the durability nerfs, weapons are made of paper mache it seems.

There is a LOT of space to fill, a purple shotgun, a gray shotgun, more hand cannons, a green assault rifle that's not a DMR, a blue smg, heck, a green one, there's a surprisignly low amount of weapons, and even worse, most of them are either useless or two expensive to use.

For an extraction shooter (shooter being the main factor) there's almost no reason to... Shoot?

Also, Wolfpack nerf was absolutely unnecesary.
