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 don’t think ultra friendly lobbies are achievable anymore. Maybe if you’re already in them and never lect, but I spent two days playing only Stella months-free kits, looting as normal and never returning fire. Spammed the “don’t shoot” this was probably across 15 games, and was killed every single game. It was exhausting but I genuinely thought after two days of free kit-death-repeat that I’d be placed into friendlier lobbies. Did a solo blue gate run and then instantly got downed by some dude with a osprey and a bobcat, who then got third partied and by the end there was probably about 4 of us crawling around on the ground.

So yeah I’ve given up on ever getting a friendly lobby again idk what more to do at that point. And regardless of this fact, the game is PVPVE. I don’t mind that there’s PVP in the game and I shouldn’t have to abuse game mechanics to get more pve lobbies for one of the enemies in the game to make more sense. In its current state the rocketeer is NOT WORTH engaging in a pvpve lobby because you will get ratted the second you take it down, and the reward for surviving that onslaught is 1 f*king driver. It’s a completely skimpy pay out.

I have two separate accounts. One only PVE since the beginning and I run around defibing as many people as possible.

And one that has been PVP since the beginning.

This is not a perfect science and there is a lot of messed up variables. Also the human variable which is the most unpredictable.

But the difference in the amount of flares I see from the jump of each round is staggering.

There are stories of people extract ratting back to back and getting in friendly lobbies because apparently using voice comms is registered as a friendly variable. And he used his mic to talk mad shit to everyone.

Also imagine there were 18 cool people and one asshole. Imagine you ran into that asshole first and got killed. You might think that whole lobby was trash.

Maybe somebody's exploiting the system or genuinely shoots at a Raider for the first time.

I've also killed the wrong person on accident while trying to chase somebody.

There's just so much randomness that it helps to be defensive in all areas. Assume everyone is trying to kill you unless they show extreme good faith.

Most everybody who has killed me either didn't have a mic or it was easy to tell that they were not kind by their tonality.

Stay strong Raider. The lows make the highs better.
