Sweetwater Totem (A "Legacy Gap" Solution)
Disclaimer: The idea operates under the assumption that KMS will not allow GMS to modify the Badge Slot or add alternatives to it. This means Genesis Badge will remain as the only obtainable BIS Badge in GMS. It also means that "Just add Potential to Genesis" is not an option. I propose the following:
Sweetwater Totem
Type: Totem
Required Level: 160
Number of Upgrades: 2
Starforce: Available
Potential: Available
Available for purchase from Javert in "Trading Post"
Cost: 600 Denaro
NOTE: When the Sweetwater Totem is equipped, the following items cannot be equipped at the same time: Sengoku Hakase Badge, Ghost Ship Exorcist Badge
* * *
This would achieve the following:
1. Genesis Badge remains the BiS obtainable badge
2. Allows players without a Legacy badge to obtain similar damage gains as those with a Legacy badge
3. Does not allow Legacy badge players to expand the Legacy gap further
4. Requires minimal development resources from Team GMS, since Commerci content is already in the game
The fact that GMS has 3 "Totem" slots allows it to provide flexible solutions to the "Legacy Gap" problem. I know this solution is not perfect, but given the circumstances i believe it really could work
Thoughts?

Assuming Sweetwater Totem is in, the Genesis Badge would be a no brainer, but something has to be done to the Misty Island Totem. IDK how Darkness Totems stack up to the Hunter Totem, but I am hoping the new BiS setup is actually obtainable.
That's an interesting question about scrolling; Do accessory scrolls work with the existing badges? I think the totem should be the same stats/scrolling as whatever those items got.
Yea, there would be some complications with existing totems. I see these as relatively minor however. I could see people switching out totems depending on what content they are participating in, similar to rings. If you are training or selling service you would have the Frenzy Totem or Chains of Resentment on, and might swap those out for bossing depending on what else you have. Bringing back Misty Island at a consistent pace could be an option (the unavailability of the Misty Totem flames is quite ridiculous imo). Possibly adding Misty as permanent content? There might also be concerns about completely invalidating Afterlands for some people. But in general, i think there will be a lot of options for people depending on where they are at. There might be a few players who end up invalidating their doom totems or something, but overall it should bridge the gap for more people and not cause anyone to lose anything substantial
ty for reviving subject though
Oh nice! I didn't see it. Great minds think alike? Admittedly, its a bit difficult for me to get a grasp of your post as there is a lot of information and sounds a bit complex. I think the key component should be equalizing the stat with existing Legacy badges without widening the gap
new totems to match legacy totems
not totems to match the badge XD
about my thread in simple i offered that boss drop totems, + an alternative to bring back old event if ppl didn't like the idea of bosses dropping totems
a second alternative would be to buy new totems with legion coins for a hefty price
also i just had to give a descriptions of each totem appearence because i like to design things i guess
Transposing wasn't removed but it was nerfed significantly. A Sweetwater Badge could be interesting, but under the assumption that it would not have potential, nor would it beat genesis badge (and have no valuable set effect), it would basically be a very very mid item at best, and wouldn't come close to bridging the gap created by Sengoku / Ghost Ship Badge
