Please release Zero in Reboot
Nexon has previously stated that there are no plans to release Zero in Reboot, but I would request that this be reconsidered. The conditions of the server have changed, and the class can be easily adjusted to make it compatible with and balanced in this server.
Some of the reasons people would want Zero in Reboot are:
- They would like to play in a non pay to win environment. While one can get by in non Reboot without having to pay, progression goes very slowly without it.
- Zero's character card and link skills have very useful effects. The link skill gives 2/4/6/8/10% ignore defense and 3/6/9/12/15% damage reduction and the character card gives 4/6/8/10% EXP. The character card would help immensely with the grind in Reboot, whether it be link skills or training past 200, while the link skill would be very useful for optimizing stats for bosses.
- Zero isn't particularly strong compared to other classes. While they are more a guideline than an accurate determination of a class's strength, DPM charts have placed them in the lower half of all classes.
- Many players would find the combo based gameplay enjoyable.
- Players that have friends in Reboot, but want to main Zero would not have to leave or be away from them to enjoy the class.
- NX customization with having essentially 2 characters in 1.
I'll also address some reasons people might not want Zero in Reboot:
- Starting at level 100 - This isn't an issue, as getting to 100 is easy. If anything, there could be a system placed that requires a level 100 character on the server to make a Zero.
- KMS Reboot does not have Zero, so we should not expect it - They don't have Zero, but KMS is not in any way completely aligned with GMS in terms of content. For example, they don't have Gollux or Ghost Ship badge, while we're missing their flames in favour of nebulites. etc. Whether or not they have it should not have any effect on it become available here.
- Zero is an incentive to play on normal servers - A good amount of the population moved to Reboot when it released. It doesn't make as much money as paying to win, of course, but this should not be a reason to keep Zero out of this server. The complications that would arise from a release in Reboot can be adjusted to better suit the server's environment.
- Zero gets free level 160 weapons - This is true, but essentially what they get is a sweetwater without the set. Without set effects, the extra base stats and potential tier are all left, so this shouldn't be an issue of them being "overpowered" in Reboot. Many people already have endgame or late game setups with CRA sets and Absolab. Boss runs are also very common now, and with guilds, it can be considerably easy to obtain this equipment. In no way will Zeros be so far ahead as assumed with these weapons.
- Zero's weapon cubing system - This only goes up to unique by itself and cubes cost mesos in Reboot, so this is not an issue. If Nexon wants, they could remove this.

I understand that there were no plans to release Zero in Reboot, but please consider doing so.

Edit: And it's done. I'll put the link I based this on here.

I dont see a reason to exclude zeroes out of reboot anymore , i mean its been a year and a half since reboot release and its already been too long.
I hope this post gets attention and we will see them soon.
It's good to see that people are fighting to get Zero in Reboot.(low key want Zero as well)
However, there are something things that should be clarified and improved upon.
That's all I have to say for now. I have more, but they're likely all a repeat of what you've already said. I will return to this as I develop my argument.
Edit #1: After sleeping on the idea, some more things came to mind. Of which, were some questions that maybe our current community manager, /u/Arwooo
The issue with it being . . .>an incentive for players to spend money on main servers
. . .is just flat out illogical(That's how I see it at least). In what way is Zero earning more money for Nexon than the other classes? The basic process of cubing and such applies to all classes, and with the existence of Reboot that argument makes less sense. If they wanted to make money off how Zero needs cubes, than why have Reboot? Since there are only so many Zero players out there. I highly doubt they throw so much money to where as Nexon can ignore income from other players(Hope that part made sense)Edit #2: After watching the video that was linked by OP there are some things that should be clarified and addressed.
I swear, I think at this point I'm just starting to rant . . .
More edits will come as I keep my eye on this thread. I would again like to stress the fact that some ideas may be repeated and please let me know if that's the case.
Closing this off, this is a copy and paste of what I had commented on the original Reddit post which can me found here .
I'd rather not make to my own post, since there are many posts on this and I don't want to constantly be reposting things. However, I will make my own post eventually that hopefully covers the arguments presented by the opposing side.
