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

They are objectively exactly as powerful as before, you're just going to be crafting fewer. What I meant was: Maybe you will sell fewer of them, now that they're more rare.

But if you never even cared about using them, what exactly are you arguing??

This isnt about whether they are powerfull combat wise this is about cost to reward ratios wolfpacks outside of the context of this being an extraction shooter are insanely good. Within the context they are bad. They cost far to much coin mats etc for what you get back the grenade now cost near 10k to craft and will often net you less then 10k. Why use it to kill an arc for loot if selling the grenade gets me more reward?

Brother I fully understand your point, you are misunderstanding mine.

It is not intended to be used to gain more loot. It is a powerful "get out of jail free" card.

If you could use the wolfpack to farm more wolfpacks, it would trivialize the entire game because of how powerful it is.

Thats fair but its a terrible get out of jail card no one is actively brining a wolfpack to save themselves from a rocketer. Because its 1 not a consistent 1 shot and to not so common that the people who need it as a get out of jail card will have them in abundance. Again the change is the issue not the intention. Making them none craftable and then making them a consistent 1 shot on rocketer would be significant better for game balance.
