Potential System from KMS to GMS Regular
In KMS's Dreamer Update, they phased out cubes and introduced potentials and bonus potentials that could be rolled directed with mesos. It allows users to decide whether they like the new stats they rolled or not. So ever roll is like rolling a Bright Cube or Bonus Bright Cube (Black and White Cubes.) The concept sounds really nice but, this came at the cost of removing cash cubes, boss dropped cubes and crafted cubes and a limit to how many mesos that can be obtained per day. No one in GMS wanted this change because it would make cubing for mules expensive as using Occults and Master and Meisters Cubes not an option and putting a meso cap would be a terrible thing. As enticing as the rerolling with meso and not worry about losing stats due to the feature of letting you decide, the cons of the meso cap and removal of all other cubes made it a bad trade.
Before our version of Dreamer, we were told the news that all those changes won't be coming over to us so our method of obtaining cubes and limit to mesos are untouched and we never got the system to re roll potentials with meso.
With future content boss such as the new Extreme Lotus and the boss Limbo coming as well as our existing hard bosses, players would have to make better quality equipment in order to tackle these bosses. 3 lining equipment potential isn't impossible and is pretty much required for tackling things in Contintental Grandis. The hardest thing to perfect in the game is Bonus Potential aside from Starforce.
The issue with Bonus Potential is that there is normally only one cube to re roll bonus potential which is the Bonus Glowing Cube. This cube just rerolls your Bonus Potential and works all the way up to Legendary without giving you the decision to pick whether you want to keep the new result. This makes it very difficult to get more than 2 good lines as every roll forces you to throw away all the lines you rolled. If you have 1 line of attack and want to get 2 lines of attack on your weapon, you would have to re roll and lose your lines and go through many rolls before you get your 2 lines or just get back your original line. A lot of the higher level bosses require you to have nearly perfect equipment (5-6 lines which is 3 perfect main potential lines + 2-3 good bonus potential lines) to be able to qualify. Even though KMS has less meso income and funding a casual mule is nearly out of the question due to expensive meso rolls, they can roll better potentials and bonus potentials since they can decide which outcome they prefer making 6L possible without running the risk of losing range even though the gambling aspect is still there. Even though GMS has no meso restriction or removed cubes, we have less control over potential rolls because they cannot pick the before or after result.
I thought of two possible ways users in reg server can have better control over their bonus potentials. Would be nice if we get either change and don't have to sacrifice our existing cubes or put a limit to mesos farmed per day.
Option 1: Make Bonus Bright Cubes a stable item in the cash shop
By adding Bonus Bright Cubes to the cash shop and not making it event exclusive, users can buy that when they want to aim for 2 or 3 lines of bonus potential without fear of losing lines.
Option 2: Reroll with meso like KMS
This feature would allow players to fix both bonus and regular potential using mesos like a Bonus Bright and Bright Cube without actually buying the cube. This system might be better since players wouldn't need to worry about buying too many cube and worrying about leftovers. If this change came without the meso cap (unlikely as Nexon would probably lose a lot of revenue) or removal of in-game cubes and cash cubes (so whales with money and no meso can roll,) it would be a really beneficial change. Another bonus is it would eliminate the need to buy/sell cash cube service which runs of possibility someone gets scammed.
Extra Option:
This more of an expansion to option 1. Selling the Bpot equivalents of Violet, Equality, and Uni Cubes occasionally would make it easier to those to perfect Bonus Potential.
