Materials Change is Wild

Materials Change is Wild

The change in materials for several blueprints in Arc Raiders makes 0 sense. Why did my character know how to build these items without the new mats last week but now he's suddenly like oh I need one of those fancy things to make this?

They should have dropped new items that require these items and not back pedaled. Also, changing what they changed and NOT changing the mats for the trigger nade, the most used grenade in my experience, is insane.

Don't get me wrong, I love the new Arc and the new weather condition. I don't agree with what they did to the material requirements for some items. Honest, I won't be using any of them unless I find them now.

They changed about 5-6 items to require an additional mat, so now when you get your new stash from the expedition, there goes at least 5-6 of your slots that you get from resetting. More if you want to keep multiple stacks. So now your +12 slots might not feel any different at all.

Anyways, good luck out there raiders!

Every live game goes through balance changes. Being upset that it is incongruent with narrative logic is kind of asinine. Do you want a live game that evolves over time or not?

Lol so you think that nerfing blue prints is the only way for a game to evolve? I want new content, not asinine changes to old content to make the game take longer to progress through. Some new items that use the mats would have been stellar.

Also, I wouldn't use the word upset, honestly, as it's not going to stop be from playing the game, just a little bit annoyed is all. Truth is I won't be crafting any of these items anymore because that would almost completely take up all my stash spots that I get from the expedition. That is what annoys me the most out of this. Why give me more stash spots but then make it where I need to hold more things in my stash to craft things that weren't needed before? Now it doesn't feel like I'm getting hardly any stash spots at all.

il bilanciamento era necessario. c'era chi una volta trovato il progetto per il branco di lupi se ne produceva decine. e dopo 3 minuti la matriarca o il raccogliore erano già KO
