Potential System is getting revamped ?

Well I heard Rumors on KMS that Nexon consider to change the Potential System???

Some Dude leaked some infos and a Gamemaster of Korea Maplestory said this:

너희�"�도 며칠 기다릴 수 있을까? - ''You guys couldn't wait a few days? - . -''.









HURAY? I cant believe this Nexon is doing a much better job in 2012! I hope noone will hit dmg cap after this

Interesting... If they change it to the point where potential doesn't make as huge of a difference... I wonder how many people would quit.

and i saw stuff that makes it to fit job advs so 70 to 60 and 120 to 100 i thought only that

I'll believe it when I see it.

Do you have a source or something...?

Someone posted this on Basil (can't tell who posted it first... June 30 is very descriptive) but if that's where you got it from, I really, really doubt its true.

Revamped is way more possible than removal.

Also I'm fairly certain that Phaus guy is a troll, I've encountered him many times before.

So posting some text in Korean = automatically a good piece of evidence? Alright.

Could Nexon be sued for removing potential? I'm guessing not because of their bogus ToS.

I doubt its something drastic, b/c if it did, people would rage.
If anything maybe a buff like
1% being 2%
and 4% being 8% etc

Its their game they can do w/e they see to balance it, the potential system is good in low amounts but 3 lines and 40% boss on weps really ruins it

Wouldn't they have to change it by default to fall in line with the new job abvance levels? If that's all then hardly a revamp.

If the potential was nerfed so that instead 3%/6%/9%/12% you could get 1%/2%/3%/4%, wouldn't it be the same?

An item would go from, say, 15% to 5% of one's main stat but it would still be as rare and valuable in the market as it was before, since all items would be dragged down into this new scale, unlike what happens when a new tier is released (cough legendary cough). The owners of these items would still hold their "rank" damage wise when compared to others, while the only thing that's being changed would be the gap between each other.

The only thing I can see possibly being hurt with something like this would be the egos of those that paid that much to feel "superior" to others.

The only way to change potential is to change the dmg formula...

Probably the first time i've ever agreed on something you've posted.

In my opinion I feel that potential should be available outside the cash shop. Perhaps a line of tedious quests to obtain certain skills and stats on your equipment and keeping cubes as the "easy way out".

For example;

Quest - Stand your ground solider!

Kill 50/50 Zakum 3

Reward - the first line of potential on your weapon will be blessed with 25% boss damage.

(This could be a chain where the next quest would be chaos zakum or horntail to achieve 30%)

Very few damage hoes will be prepared to attempt this due to the ease of cubes. But it gives low - mid wealth players a chance to improve their gear. It also encourages partying for bosses. Without boss damage players don't often solo zakum twice a day for a month but a party would improve the social aspect of which most of us miss greatly..

If the potential system gets revamped then all bosses, starting with normal PB (Dunno when CZAK / CHT were released), will have to get revamped as well since they're way too dependent on the system.

Best idea ever, man. Seriously, A+.
People who pay thousands on the game definetely need twice the advantage they already have!

Would be happy if some Non-NX alternative to cubing and the like where to appear. Level up the play field... Sort off, people with money will still get farther than people without it.

pb/czak wouldn't need to be buffed pb wasn't killed pre-bb because dc hackers and the timelimit/dmg cap made it impossible, pb could be killed with just socket/duped gear in GMS.
