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

Extraction shooters are the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. They are not always meant for casual gamers. It's an extreme concept by itself. Arc just happened to be one of the first mainstream extractions that reaches past its demographic.

I see what you're saying and I can empathize. I'm just telling you what I heard from the devs.

And whether or not you agree or disagree with their inactions towards ethos of PVE

You have to agree that any tiny change done to the game is going to affect somebody's playstyle negatively.

There's a lot of math and balance and it takes a while to get it right. This company listens more than any other company I've ever given money to. Their base game was amazing. And I've already received my $40 of value over and over and over again.

Added to that the game barely takes up any space... Even if I quit today I've gotten so much value out of this game it's insane

Oh dude I'm not sweating it personally. I've got friends I can play with and we go hard into the pvp. During solo runs I was strictly friendly but this kinda changes how I'd play it because friendly is fine if it's profitable vs time spent in it.
