I'm on Reboot and have been for several months now (since June I think) and have been checking nearly every day to see if I can make a Zero (because the XP gain is really helpful for my low funded venture). I have not been able to create one but I did manage to squeeze out a Beast Tamer.
What is the Character Creation schedule for a Zero on Reboot?
Comments
When Reboot came out, last December, Nexon made it clear that the Zero class would not be available on it. And, so far, it hasn't been.
In KMS, which has had Reboot for six months longer than we have, Zero has not yet become available, either.
I think us new folks would appreciate it if instead of trying to hunt down some obscure forum post that if a character is never going to be available that said character should not be there in the menu to taunt us.
With it, if you kill something that gives you 2.5m base exp, you're only getting an extra 150k on top of that. And if you're at the level where things you kill are giving you 2.5m exp per kill, 150k exp isn't even going to register on the exp bar.
On the other hand, all (KMS) mobs in Reboot give 3x the exp they do in other servers, and that does stack with everything.
All in all, I think Rebooters have no reason to complain about their exp rates.
In Maplestory, when I kill something with a 2x XP buff going I see an extra XP greentext pop up for my Mercedes Link Skill XP separate from the other XP I am getting. Furthermore, when I have 2x, a rune and Mercedes link skill I see 2 sets of double XP and the Mercedes XP.
This is in addition to any Party XP I receive, which is also a separate greentext.
So, in actual play the XP buffs seem to work in parallel (effectively stacking). This is part of why I want the 10% from getting Zero to lvl 200 on Reboot. I am a casual player and cannot devote excessive amounts of time to Maplestory. In fact if Nexon decided to nerf playtime to 10 hours total per week I would be relatively unaffected.
As for the Reboot XP rates, they are still too low for my tastes, even if what you say is true about the 3x. In my experience the only "3x XP" was the Burning Event where you get 3 levels when you attain a level up, until lvl 150.
Let's say you kill a monster that normally gives 1000 exp.
If you have Mercedes Link Skill, you'll see the white line of 1000 exp and the Mercedes line of 100 exp.
Now let's say you have Holy Symbol cast on you.
You'll see the while 1000 exp line, a yellow (idk why you call it green) 500 exp from HS, and a yellow 100 exp from Mercedes link skill.
That's what I mean about not stacking: Mercedes is still giving you only 100 exp even though you have HS.
Same thing happens with 2x (server-wide, personal coupon, or from activating a rune): Mercedes bonus does not apply to the "you received bonus exp" line, only to the base. All KMS monsters in Reboot give 3x base exp. You don't see it as separate lines, so you may not be aware of it. But try killing the same monster (on level-appropriate characters) in Reboot and non-Reboot and you'll see.
Since it gives you 10% extra base exp, assuming you have no exp multipliers on, that means every hour you spend grinding, you gain 110% of the experience that you would have gained without the Zero card. Which means that for every 10 hours you spend grinding, you effectively net a "free" hour's worth of experience, which is actually extremely significant at higher levels where it takes hundreds of hours to level up.
Of course this effect is reduced if you train with exp multipliers, but it is nonetheless extremely useful
Also, it's odd that you say we don't need 10% exp card but you don't object to mercedes character card, which gives more. I mean we don't NEED merc's link either, yet it's still there.
Furthermore, if rates make leveling such a breeze in reboot, then how is a character that gets to lvl 180 in less than a week imbalanced? Assuming they don't bring quest booster to the cash shop.
I doubt the majority of rebooters are going to simply jump to Zero, they're not even that popular in the normal worlds to being with (as a main). Honestly level 180 isn't as grand as it used to be. Nexon just did a burning event up to lvl 150 (or 153), which is better than starting than 100.
As far as the "easy mode" complaint, just stop it. It's Reboot. Reboot is your own personal experience and it doesn't hurt any markets. Just stop it. That's like saying nobody can have any ice cream at all because you can't have coconut nutmeg flavor.
Reboot doesn't have quest XP boosters.
