Re-request: Zero in Reboot
So the other, 2yr old, thread pleading for the Zero class to come to Reboot was locked for seemingly no reason after being bumped. The last acknowledgement I remember hearing about the topic was a MapleFest Q&A session where the response was "we'll look into it." And remembering the one time they accidentally allowed Zero to be made before wiping them in a soon-after maintenance, so it appears to be possible.
To be honest, I'm mostly just looking for a direct answer of if it's even being considered at the moment or not. I have friends that have quit the game but acknowledge that they would 100% return for Zero to be released. I'm enjoying the game right now but the needlessly exclusive class was so much fun to me when I played a regular server.
Before "KMS doesn't have so no" - we still have SW gear, Gollux, Kanna, Hayato, Beast Tamer, and Frenzy/Fury totem. We're not 100% in KMS footsteps and I just want this to be another exception.
Edit:
Here is the previous thread referenced. I only include it because OP pleads his case and solutions more clearly than I am able to.
Comments
Was it a post that added information/value to the thread? Maybe not. Did it show that people still care? Yes.
In this case it was over a year, but point still stands. Moving on.
The one time it happened? Oh no no. It's happened at least three times to date. If we're lucky, they might even do it again for this patch season.
I don't think the "Let's add another GMS exclusive" is a good train of thought. Why wouldn't you advocate this be added to both KMS and GMS?
This change would benefit both versions of the game the same. It would be a good change for all regions that have reboot.
Reboot might not be popular in Korea, but it still exists and there are still people who play it. Why would you exclude them?
Nexon seems to be going for more 1:1 features anyway, so I think moving forward asking for anything to be added to GMS exclusively hurts your odds.
As someone who plays Maplestory almost exclusively for the story, it would be nice to not have to jump over to a reg server just to get Zero's story.
Maybe I phrased it poorly, I don't mean to exclude KMS from getting Zero. I say it more as a counterpoint to the "if it doesn't exist in KMS, it can't exist here" mentality. Of course it would be great if KMS could get this feature too (partially because it would guarantee it for us), but I feel like pleading for changes in KMS on the GMS request forums is about as effective as trying to yell the suggestion across the ocean to them. And I'm glad I missed the other times they were accidentally able to be created in Reboot, my heart can only break so many times.
If we had a better management team and GMS wasn't in a tight spot, then yes. We absolutely have to be the ones to lead the charge on this one.
GMS Reboot has the population that is lacking over in KMS. It's highly doubtful that the Development team will pay any attention to it for KMS.
However if they're making the changes because of the GMS Reboot servers, then that's much more likely to happen.
The problem is that GMS is probably seen as low priority as far as development goes.
They're increasing the amount of value/effort they place on us, but we're still not at the "Get Zero into Reboot" levels that we need imo.
As long as we keep criticism of Nexon mostly constructive and call them out on BS, I think eventually we'll get there.
Well when the bump is almost a year-and-a-half later and adds nothing of tangible worth...
It may be better, in the future, to do what you did here in the first place: make another thread and link back to the old one.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I feel like making an essentially clone thread clutters forums and is less valuable than bumping the original thread. There isn't much to add to that discussion besides a request for an update when we haven't gotten an official word on the topic for over a year.
First off, that would be a complaint against Zero as a class not just in Reboot. If anything it's harder to believe they allow this in regular servers, where you have to pay real $$$ to cube weapons. If it's acceptable to have a system like that where it costs real life money for this "shortcut", it should be acceptable for it to exist with a virtual currency.
Second, Kanna exists. We can't pretend to care so much about balance when we're okay with having one class be so gamebreaking. Kanna has the biggest map coverage, great lines and damage, best support skills, and has Reboot's meta revolve entirely around it with Kishin. It doesn't make sense to leave something like that alone while drawing the line at one free duped potential.
I think it would be a good experiment at this point for how Nexon is changing Reboot's meta. Without being able to skip to endgame potentials in a couple days, or legendary hearts, or pottable badges, it would give us and Nexon a view of how progression goes in our current state. Food for thought.
Honestly, they could just release it as it was the few times Zero had been accidentally create-able during creation events for regular servers. Short of being entirely unable to reroll/tier up potential on the weapon (which is the entire reason they weren't added to Reboot afaik), there isn't a bug that would stop fans from training one up. Those slip-ups only showed that it's totally possible for them to work in Reboot - they just don't allow it for seemingly no reason.
I'd love to see them add Zero to Reboot for the Anniversary or some time soon after.
Some of you may have heard, but for those unaware, Zero is coming to KMS Reboot so it will be slated to come to us - it's finally happening. Thank you for your hopes.
